1. Temptation

Driven by restrained desire
I want what I need
Shaking as her sex takes hold
I've lost all control

Temptation
Temptation

Drowning in a sea of rage
I taste the embrace
Helpless as it steals my soul
I've lost all control

Temptation
It never lets me down
Temptation
One foot in the ground

We exist in a world
Where the fear of illusion is real
And we cling to the past
To deny and confuse the ideal
Once inside we conceive
And believe in a god we can't feel
I can't feel it
I can't feel it
I can't feel

Destined by a fate so cruel
I'm drugged to delight
Laughing as these lies unfold
I've lost all control

Temptation
It never lets me down
Temptation
One foot in the ground
Temptation
You satisfy my soul
Temptation
I've lost all control

2. Army Ants

Bring on
Bring on the absolute
A walk on the water
Will lead you to slaughter

No one will feel you
No one will hear you

Bring on
Bring on the brave new world
You're tied to condition
A slave to submission

No one will feel you
No one will hear you

All that I need
Is a way to deceive
The eyes of the end
I could rise once again
And still shine on

Crawl
Crawl on your hands and knees
You're blind from the vision
The dawn of decision

No one will feel you
No one will hear you

All that I need
Is a way to deceive
The eyes of the end
I could rise once again

All that I need
Is a way to deceive
The eyes of the end
I could rise once again
And still shine on

3. Psychopomp

You wanted this
So sad to see
The sweet decay
Of ecstasy

And you want it all
And you want it all

A frozen sun
Would guide you there
As shadows hide
The deep despair

And you want it all
And you want it all

I'll give you something more
And you'll fade away
One last kiss before
You fade away

So sleep tonight
In idle dreams
The pain will drown
Your silent screams

And you want it all
And you want it all

I'll give you something more
And you'll fade away
One last kiss before
You fade away

Lives you once adored
Will fade away
Lies you can't ignore
You soon repay

As you fade away
As you fade away
As you fade away
As you fade away
And you'll fade away

4. Gyroscope

Come face to face with it
Pushed on your side
Lose all your self control
Worlds will collide

Inside out, you can't cope
My gyroscope

Witness the fall from grace
You shed your skin
Change if it pleases you
Just don't give in

Inside out, you can't cope
My gyroscope

Quiet now she said
You're waking up the dead, so
Cradle the excuse
In love with the abuse, so
I handle it with ease
it's a dignified disease, slow down

Soul searching breaks you down
You'll never learn
Annihilate yourself
All things must burn

Inside out, you can't cope
My gyroscope
Inside out, you can't cope
My gyroscope
Inside out, you can't cope
My gyroscope
Inside out, you can't cope
My gyroscope

5. Alarum

I took a slide, slipping down a staircase
A Piranesian dream
My senses reeled, distorted by the darkness
I lit my way with a scream
And in the rave an alarum caused a cracked mirror
I got confused by the sound
I turned around and touched it from a distance
And then it fell to the ground

Loud cry from the shallows
Lust feeds on the fear
Walls crack under pressure
I think the end is getting near

And in my mind was the fury of a madness
That consecrated the dirt
I stumbled through the enigma of its reason
And celebrated the hurt
And then I found in an act of desperation
A subtle rip in the heart
I was seduced by the taste of devastation
And then it tore me apart

Loud cry from the shallows
Lust feeds on the fear
Walls crack under pressure
I think the end is getting near

Oh no, nothing matters
When it takes me
When it rapes me, breaks me
Shakes me down

A quick escape from the fear of commination
I slept the night with a spleen
A vain excuse, I was searching for some answers
I broke away from the scene
'Cause after all, animality's an instinct
And it's Luxuria's slave
To taste the truth, it's a seizure of the senses
And it's a foot in the grave

Loud cry from the shallows
Lust feeds on the fear
Walls crack under pressure
I think the end is getting near

Oh no, nothing matters
When it takes me
When it rapes me, breaks me
Shakes me down

Oh no, nothing matters
When it takes me
When it rapes me, breaks me
Shakes me down

Oh no, nothing matters
When it takes me
When it rapes me, breaks me
Shakes me down

6. Release

I want the world to wake
I want to give you peace
I want to vindicate
You need to be released

Don't want to hurt you
I need to make you see
If I desert you
It's just to make you see

That I'm a man that's weak
And I'm a man that's lost
I gave it all away
To complicate the cost

Don't want to hurt you
I need to make you see
If I desert you
It's just to make you see

Not going to hurt you now
I need to make you see
If I desert you now
It's just to make you see

I want you to be free
I want you to be free from me
I want you to be free
I want you to be free from me

I want you to be free
I want you to be free from me
I want you to be free
I want you to be free from me

7. Transmission

We fear what we see in the distance
We're shattered by life's soft deceit
Enslaved to our thoughts by our reason
Refusing to walk with the weak
Walk with me

Betrayed by the past desolation
We slept listless nights by the shore
Searching for signs of salvation
Hoping to find something more
Something more

Transmission
I think I hear it, man

Tell me what I have when it all slips away
Tell me what I see when the light fades away
You tell me what I hold in the palm of my hands
Tell me what I feel 'cause I'm trying to understand

I'm sending

Confused by the weight of out virtue
We follow the paths of the slain
In silence we'll walk through these shadows
Embracing the pleasures of pain
Once again

Transmission
I think I hear it, man

Tell me what I have when it all slips away
Tell me what I see when the light fades away
You tell me what I hold in the palm of my hands
You tell me what I feel 'cause I'm trying to understand

I'm sending transmission
I'm sending transmission
I'm sending transmission
I'm sending transmission

8. Babylon / Embryo

Now that the thrill of the massacre's over
Isn't it sweet when she sucks on your veins

I've waited so long
I've waited so long
I've waited
I've waited so long

I roll back the stone just to see what I'm missing
Glimpses of grandeur now faced with defeat

I've waited so long
I've waited so long
I've waited
I've waited so

Now that your kingdom of Babylon's fading
Where will you turn when you can't find your soul?

I've waited so long
I've waited so long
I've waited
I've waited so long

Salvation's at hand, it's a matter of taste, dear
Lost in ideals that you found in the trash

I've waited so long
I've waited so long
I've waited
I've waited so long

9. Pulse

I saw a face in the mirror
That made my blood run clear
I think I've waited too long
I went along for the ride
She complicated the slide
I went to take her hand
I couldn't feel a pulse

Senseless is pleasure
Nothing's forever
The sooner you see
You can't deny me

I had a dream that within
A celebration of sin
We do a dance with denial
I only wanted a friend
To see the beautiful end
I went to take her hand
I couldn't feel a pulse

Senseless is pleasure
Nothing's forever
The sooner you see
You can't deny me

Senseless is pleasure
Nothing's forever
The sooner you see
You can't deny me
You can't deny me
You can't deny me

10. Emerald

Confess what you crave
A life without pain
You'd kill for the taste
But the hurt still remains

And still they don't know who you are
They still never know who you are

Just be still, my emerald
I'll be waiting for you
Do exactly what you're told
I'll be waiting for you

Ashamed by the threats
You pierce the embrace
Afraid and alone
In a dark lonely place

And still they don't know who you are
They still never know who you are

Just be still, my emerald
I'll be waiting for you
Do exactly what you're told
I'll be waiting for you

Did you always want to be?
Did they try to steal your soul? Oh, no, no, no
Did they hurt you with deceit? Yeah
Can't you come in from the cold?

Be still, my emerald
I'll be waiting for you
Do exactly what you're told
I'll be waiting for you

To come in from the cold
I'll be waiting for you
Be still, my emerald
I'll be waiting for you

11. Aftermath

Desperate to take
Lost in its wake
Time slips away too soon
Pleasures of fear
Drawing us near
Where could we go from here

Waste what we want
We beg and we're bought
And nothing is wrong with us
Waste what we want
We beg and we're bought
And nothing is wrong with us

Life in these veins
Godless and stained
Glimpses of hope exist
Slanted advance
Threatened by chance
Time slips away too soon

Waste what we want
We beg and we're bought
And nothing is wrong with us
Waste what we want
We beg and we're bought
And nothing is wrong with us
Nothing is wrong with us
