Digital Scream

|
A dream of an old world
Still sound asleep
A world beneath the deep
Waves drown the scream
A voice left unheard
Waves drawing near
Images of fear
Warning signs
Of a drowning dream
Twisting the real
Into a Digital Scream
Pick out your pads and pods
No time to sleep
The latest Android
He just wants to feed
Head down the street
And make left for memory lane
Escape the world
Where a number is your name
A dream of life
Far from online eyes
A human mind, is no digital device
Means without ends, a lack of common sense
A battle the machine already won
Your world is out of touch
You're out of date
Dare not to disconnect
Then how can you be safe?
The screen will tell you
You're the happiest man alive
Without a question
The machine never lies
A dream of life
Far from online eyes
A human mind, is no digital device
Means without ends, a lack of common sense
A battle the machine already won
(What have we become?)
Digital men, digital women
Create a social recluse
The modern man has gone too far
In his search for an unpleasant truth

City on the Moon

A little too weak
For the stronger eye to see
No will to compete
It's not the fear, but the pressure
That drives me mad
Trapped in a corner
Between walls of red and blue
From where I stand the room looks small
And the colours get mixed up too
Splatters on the ceiling
The voice of one more god
Never heard the voice above
His flock is all too loud
They told me
That life could
Be like a dance on roses
But sometimes
It feels like
All I ever step on are the thorns
Break free from this form
A haven from your world
I'll build a City on the Moon
A home far away from your Earth
My City on the Moon
Machines to guide me
To where I'd never go
Structures to keep me locked
Onto the even flow
I will build a planet
A retreat to call my home
I will twist the chains and build
A new world of my own
They told me
That life could
Be like a dance on roses
But sometimes
It feels like
All I ever step on are the thorns
Break free from this form
A haven from your world
I'll build a City on the Moon
A home far away from your Earth
My City on the Moon
All in line waiting for the countdown
The world looks small from up above
Sublunar life demands a fight
Here and now we must make a stand and
Now I know
That life should
Be like a dance on roses
Now I wish
That I could
Ignite and leave it all behind
Leave space and time for
A haven from your world
I'll build a City on the Moon
A home far away from your Earth
My City on the Moon

Rain Fire from the Sky
06:09

I'm stranded
On an icy shore
Here I built my city
In a ruin from the storm
At the root of their mountain
Is where we made our home
A colony of outcasts
Systematically alone
No water for the thirsting soul
A struggle through dust and gravel
To climb the highest top alone
Just to fall again
A chain
Of hands against their wall
A gathering of heroes
The ones who never fall
Stare up at the darkness
Where they keep the sun
If the climb is too high
Bring the mountain down
Now we light up like fireflies
Against the darkening sky
Together we could learn how to survive
Rain fire from the sky
On the next in line
Through the madness
How did we survive?
Killed by our nation's
Every expectation
How many lives
Will we give for a lie?
No sunlight for the tired soul
The climb feels never-ending
The hands lose touch of the stone
And down comes the rain
The outside becomes a prison
Their heights defy me
I'm drained of all ambition
Their heights deny me
Up above beyond our reach
The sky is opening
Now the cracks begin to show
The wall is crumbling
Rain fire from the sky
On the next in line
Through the madness
How did we survive?
Killed by our nation's
Every expectation
How many lives
Will we give for a lie?

Across the Atom Sea
07:11
|

Countless waves
Come to clothe
Hallow shapes
Out at sea
Sailing on a crystal clear sea of entities
Tides across the endless grid drifting in between
The clockwork's shattered now, the golden hands retreat
Traces of emotion lost without community
On a spindrift through time
Facing featureless voids
As the hauling begins
Echoing voices from the deepest ocean floor
Memories of the chaos and the endless lust for more
The sun is burnt and black, toxic air deludes
Ride on the acid wave of past mistakes anew
Countless waves streaming from the centerpiece
Come to clothe islands in disharmony
Hallow shapes surfacing to break the peace
Out at sea a final dying evergreen
The blackened matter holds the world outside the lines
Conscious choice to deconstruct and build another lie
The end was put in motion in the name of liberty
Survivors wait to drown all across the Atom Sea
Countless waves streaming from the centerpiece
Come to clothe islands in disharmony
Hallow shapes surfacing to break the peace
Out at sea a final dying evergreen

Mechanical Mind

Beneath the waves
Beneath the waves I flee
Beneath the waves
Beneath the waves I flee
Machine devoid of anger that never turns to rust
Late human data erased
A synthetic lifeblood to keep me alive
Trapped in this motionless space
Life in the clockwork the hours passing by
Programmed to follow the code
A maze of connections the circuits are down
Derelict they corrode
No human unit survives on its own
Burnt on the pyre of the free
The walls of the motherlode falling apart
Jackhammer of liberty
Wheels of an order that never seem to stop
Churning any protest
No new world Leviathan ocean machine
Deep in the blue I will rest
Welcome to my fears
Hear the ratchet, hear the gears
A world inside a machine, static reality
Half-life with no will, the core is pushing nil
Within my
Mind Mechanical
I've lost control
To see, to feel, to understand
The world we know
The undertow
Still keeps me underwater
Harbinger of madness, the messenger of doom
Adrift on the endless sea
All life aborted, the shutdown of the core
The juggernaut is finally free
Conduits are failing, the system's breaking down
No signs of life anymore
No one remembers the human machine
Lifeless wreck on the shore
Welcome to my fears
Hear the ratchet, hear the gears
A world inside a machine, static reality
Half-life with no will, the core is pushing nil
Within my
Mind Mechanical
I've lost control
To see, to feel, to understand
The world we know
The undertow
Still keeps me underwater
Welcome to my fears
Hear the ratchet, hear the gears
A world inside a machine, static reality
Half-life with no will, the core is pushing nil
Within my
Mind Mechanical
I've lost control
To see, to feel, to understand
The world we know
The undertow
Still keeps me underwater
I lived in digital
I died in digital

This album is fantastic. I can't pick just one song as the best. Dancing in hell, Ava of death, All shall burn, Memoriam are some of the best songs I've ever heard.
