1. Insurgent

(intro)

2. The 26th Machine

Under this cold silver sky
Here it rests the vanquished flesh
The machines have won the fight
They own the throne
Through the rubbles painted red
The last sons of Earth survive
Waiting for a better day
But it won't come...

We built them all
Each time a better new one

Then it came
The 26th Machine arrived
A Brand New self conscious frame
Released to become
Our new Synthetic God

If the 1st was nothing but a weird joke
If the 2nd couldn't speak
The 3rd already could rewrite its neural code
Then a 4th a 5th and on
Each one better than before
'till the last one spoke in words unknown

No phrases told
For its thoughts were running in codes

Then HE came
A proud self-conscious State of the Art
The 26th Machine
Released to become
Our new Synthetic God

A better world
Is everything we were dreaming of
What our bodies can't hold

Now the mind would have done
This world could have become
A better place
For us all
...then HE came...

Then HE came
A proud self-conscious State of the Art
The 26th Machine
Released to become
Our new Synthetic God

3. 3 Men Walk On The Moon

July 16th '69
We left the earth
all good in time

Saturn V pushed up strong
at rocket speed
we broke through
the stratosphere

Gravity
is now so light
While we continue
our journey in silence

Touch the ground
for the first time
Open the lem's door
Let's start the moon dance

Ground control
From this corner of the universe
The earth is looking blue
In this corner of the universe
3 Men walk on the Moon

Look at us touching this pale
Grey ball up here
for thousand of years
Distant untouchable

Now here we are
fragile and small
Touching the stars

There's no wind
and there's no sky
And all the mountains
are looking so damn high

Here the loneliness
is screaming loud
The panorama is breathtaking though

Ground control
From this corner of the universe
The earth is looking blue
In this corner of the universe
3 Men have touched the Moon

4. Fall From Grace

The Silence falls down on the glory of men
No one remembers their names
Their faces got lost in the night
They lost their fame

Gone are the days when the world was in need
For someone stronger to acclaim
Guardians of destiny to save us from fear
They fell to ruin

The monuments raised in the squares everywhere
Are now forgotten for good
Who are those statues up there?
The marble is grey

The laurels have gone blown away by the wind
Their branches are covered with dust
Everything's gone, their heroic deeds
All gone to rust

People walk and don't even care
To read what writings on those walls may say
Carved in stone, those words were supposed to hail
Those Heroes who now fell from Grace

Those days are over no one seems to care
About all those men who once died
To give us the freedom to live
The freedom to forget

These supermen have begun their downfall
The same day they have reached the top
From camel to lion then a child
Now they are free

People walk and don't even care
To read what writings on those walls may say
Carved in stone, those words were supposed to hail
Those Heroes who now fell from Grace

5. Were I God

I see injustice everywhere
Only people moved by their greed
While this world sinks in pollution
We pushed animals to the brink of extinction

If I were a God I'd change it
No more evil, no sins no pain

Were I God
Believe me you'd stand by the rules I want
No more free will, you don't deserve it
Were I God
I'd fly from North to South around the World
And make you kneel down
A snap, goodbye
In the blink of an eye

In the name of "here and now"
We're nameless faces
All mercy has gone away for good
If I were a God I'd change it all
For the weakest, for the sake of just

Were I God
Believe me you'd stand by the rules I want
No more free will, you don't deserve it
Were I God
I'd fly from North to South around the World
And make you kneel down
A snap, goodbye

Were I God
Believe me you'd stand by the rules I want
No more free will, you don't deserve it
Were I God
I'd fly from North to South around the World
And make you kneel down
A snap, goodbye
In the blink of an eye

6. Now That All The Heroes Are Dead

Can you recognize this scent?
It's the salt coming from the sea
We pull bodies to our chest
With its taste on our lips

Look up Look at this mantle filled with stars
Winding us all in peace
Silence gets broken by the waves
Time has come

We're left alone
Now that all our Heroes are dead
They are all gone
Once our Salvation
Now they lie on the sand
The end

Who will save us now
From the dark days coming forth?
They were the keepers of our hopes...
We fall down

We're left alone
Now that all our Heroes are dead
They are all gone
Once our Salvation
Now they lie on the sand
The end

We're left alone
Now that all Heroes are dead
They are all gone
Once our Salvation
Now they lie on the sand

We're left alone
Now that all Heroes are dead
They are all gone
Once our Salvation
Now they lie on the sand
The end

7. While The Sun Is Turning Black

While the dawn comes in gently
And the Moon says goodbye
There the Sun comes already
The night goes, in the blink of an eye

As I wait for the new day to come
As the Nature slowly awakes
I feel my life has gone away

Sun
Why don't you bring some light down here?
This World is way too dark for me
The more I try to rise
The more I'm falling down
While your Star is turning black

Every night from the window
There's a ceiling of distant stars
They look like my own sorrow
While they're falling in the dark
And soon they're no more

They could make the whole universe shine
But they're falling one by one
Fading into the dark

Sun
Why don't you bring some light down here?
This World is way too dark for me
The more I try to rise
The more I'm falling down
While your star is turning black

8. The King Of The Sky

Push down the bar, climb the white clouds
My engine is roaring so loud
The hunt has begun, from my windscreen
I see them dive fast from behind my tail

Lines in the sky drawn by crossing contrails
Soon all this blue, will be turning red

My Winged Horse, fly high
Take me where no one would ride
Make 'em feel the fright
For they've met the King of the skies
Here they die

The prey has turned to hunter now they try to run
It's time to fire my guns

Lines in the sky drawn by crossing contrails
Soon all this blue, will bleed in my name

My Winged Horse, fly high
Take me where no one would ride
Make 'em feel the fright
For they've met the King of the skies
Here they die

My Winged Horse, fly high
Take me where no one would ride
Make 'em feel the fright
For they've met the King of the skies
Here they die

I'm the King of the Sky

9. On The Ides Of March

Don't you cry for me
Because I've no regrets
Let them hide let them seek
Yearning for what they can't get

In my dreams it's been clear
Since when I was noone
This old world sunk in fear
Was needing to be all redone

Days ago an Oracle read the future for me
And he said that my life is going end

On the Ides of March
I'm gonna meet my destiny
The time has come to take the final step to immortality

They all wait in a pack
Like wolves for the lamb
While they hope to bring back
The time, it won't rewind

They can't bring back the past
By stabbing me in the chest
They can dance on my remains
It will all fade in a legerdemain

Oh, Oracle, take my hand and tell me now
Can you see why I'm not afraid to die?

On the Ides of March I'm gonna meet my destiny
The time has come to take the final step to immortality
No better day for me to die Like a God
I take my seat in history
On the Ides of March

On the Ides of March
I'm gonna meet my destiny
The time has come to take the final step to immortality
No better day for me to die
Like a God
I take my seat in history
On the Ides of March

10. 300

Brace yourselves, men
Prepare my brothers, no retreat
A hundred thousand
Here they've come and here they'll die

We have a mission
As champions on these hills we rose
They bring submission
That we refuse

We see you smiling distant on your golden throne
Raise your hand and see
How all your certainties will soon be gone

Today we die
300 men will face their Fate
For Heroes never try to escape their destiny
United here we stand against your greed

The wave is moving
In all its elegance it flows
A human black tide
Is going to crash against our mighty wall

Pull up your shields now
The Fathers call, give up your souls
Today the invader
Will know the fear

The fight is starting
Xerxes, now just sit and watch
The Art of War
Storming through The Immortals and beyond

Today we die
300 hundred men will face their Fate
For Heroes never try to escape their destiny
United here we stand against your greed

The Sun goes down
At the Middle Gates
The 300 men are still alive

Today we die 300 men will face their Fate
For Heroes never try to escape their destiny
United here we stand against your greed

11. The Nihil Propaganda

How could we comprise the Void?
Our small minds can't keep it in
Getting close to where our conscience fades
Feels like there, while it vanishes away

Nothingness can't be imagined
We can only knock on the next door
While our lives proceed along their path
Safe and blind, slowly fading away

We all are the others
Nobody is himself

Sempre caro mi fu quest'ermo colle,
E questa siepe, che da tanta parte
Dell'ultimo orizzonte il guardo esclude.
Ma sedendo e mirando, interminati
Spazi di là da quella, e sovrumani
Silenzi, e profondissima quiete
Io nel pensier mi fingo; ove per poco
Il cor non si spaura. E come il vento
Odo stormir tra queste piante, io quello
Infinito silenzio a questa voce
Vo comparando: e mi sovvien l'eterno,
E le morte stagioni, e la presente
E viva, e il suon di lei. Così tra questa
Immensità s'annega il pensier mio:
E il naufragar m'è dolce in questo mare.

12. Angel Of Revenge

You can try to put me down
hit me, as you never did before
watch me bleeding on the ground
see now, how I stand up asking for some more

Every scar that you caused
made me feel I am stronger than you all
every tear that I cried all alone
and awake in the night

Every time that you spit out
your lies, oh! my world was falling down
now it's time to leave it all behind

Eye to eye, we close it here tonight
yes we close it here and then goodbye

Break the silence, screaming loud
I'm the angel of revenge, no more crying
turning from the ashes to a new life (yes I'm turning)
look into my eyes and realize, now I'm back and I am here to stay

The day you turn, looking at your past
remember me and those once friends who by then will be gone
and remember the scars that you've drawn on my skin and on my soul
where have all we gone? Ghosts of your past days

Eye to eye, we closed it on that night
yes we closed it there and then goodbye

Break the silence, screaming loud
iI'm the angel of revenge, no more crying
turning from the ashes to a new life (yes I'm turning)
look into my eyes and realize, now I'm back and I am here to stay

And after all
we have one life
one run to go we can't rewind
what we have done

We are like leaves
on an old tree
exposed to wind in a stormy fall

While the yellow slowly colors all our lives....

Break the silence, screaming loud
I'm the angel of revenge, no more crying
turning from the ashes to a new life (yes I'm turning)
look into my eyes and realize, now I'm back and I am here to stay
