(In the 21st century, everyone will be able to see that we are all just inhabitants of a little celestial body called Earth)
What went wrong? What went wrong?
What went wrong? What went wrong?
A new dark age, a new tribe mentality
Stuck in a time loop
We bring light, you prefer war
We bring peace, you prefer violence
You are like primitive animals
Primitive animals
What went wrong? What went wrong?
You have doomed yourselves
You have no one else to blame
What went wrong? What went wrong?
I feel so tired…

You Deserve the Darkness

(Screw all of these world leaders, I am out of here
No one controls my body and no one controls my mind
Get the fuck out of here!)
It’s your fault
You made it happen
It’s your fault
You are to blame
You fell for it
Believed in their lies
You wished for it
Hoping others would get hurt
Now you’re in the dark, now you’re paying the price
And you’ve got no one to blame but yourself
You deserve it
You deserve the darkness
You so deserve it
You deserve the darkness
You sold your soul
Protecting your selfish desires
You became a pawn
Although you knew you were wrong
You got violent
Bloodthirsty
Mirrored yourself
After the wrong people
Now you’re paying, and karma is a bitch
Now you’re hurting, but not enough for me
You deserve it
You deserve the darkness
You so deserve it
You deserve the darkness
As for me, I don’t care about you
No one else is here
It’s a perfect world…

Our Place
04:41
|

|
Quartz crystals in my hair
Touch of grass beneath my feet
A solitary rock in the dark
And I walk on top of it
No one is afraid any more
Of the shadows brought by the moon
People vanished from this planet
Long ago…
Blue sky, black sky
We know our place
Dots of light here and there
Blue sky, black sky
We know our place
We know our place, we know our place
Incoming calls in the dark
A galactic network
A solitary waltz in antimatter
And I take part in it
No one is alone any more
In the vastness of the heavens
We know there are others
Just like us…
Blue sky, black sky
We know our place
Dots of light here and there
Blue sky, black sky
We know our place
We know our place, we know our place

Time Loop

Time stretches for me, it bends for you
Secret passageways in the dark
I tiptoe on the shores of History
As you set fire to its oceans
You fear the future
Cowardice halts your steps
So a familiar past
Is your twisted option
You’ve grown bored of the peace
Desire wars and violence
The animal in you reigns supreme
And wants to tear it all down
I can be anywhere
Light is the nectar I crave
But I wasn’t made for this
You say “f*ck you” to progress
Well, I say “f*ck you too”
Your existence is overrated
Note to self: if you lose hope one day
Don’t fret, don’t fret…
They’ll tear themselves apart first
Then the planet will finally… rest.

Passing Sorrows

Passing sorrows, like a fleeting tomorrow
Cries for help lost in the dark
Minuscule are our worries
When time is ahead of us
We are just lucky to live
Lucky to live, lucky to live
Lucky to be alive
Time will ease those puny sorrows
Give us hope for a better tomorrow
Worthless are our feelings
When time is ahead of us
We are just lucky to live
Lucky to live, lucky to live
Lucky to be alive
Darkness is nothing
When we’re surrounded by stars
Trivial are our worries
When time is ahead of us
Loneliness is nothing
When there’s so many of us out there
Risible are our problems
When space is right in front of us
We are just lucky to live
Lucky to live, lucky to live
Lucky to be alive
In this garden

You hide in the dark
I seek the light
You’re as negative
As I’m positive
Brutality is your way
I prefer delicacy
And yet, who knows?
Who plays both roles best?
I was born in the other side
Of the mirror
In the other side
Of the mirror
Embracing everyone
Sweet amberish cocoon
How ironic it is!
Who’s really rebellious?
Took me ages to find it out
I searched everywhere
And yet I did not know
The one I searched for was myself!
Ended up where I started
Isn’t it simply beautiful?
I was born in the other side
Of the mirror
In the other side
Of the mirror
And from now on
If you’re the dark of the shadow
I will be the silhouette
That makes you exist!

I Wish...
04:36
|
|||
|
My mouth has opened a gate
From which dark words spill forth
My throat is fuelling this hate
Blows it into the air
This is not what the world needs
My angry rantings won’t solve things
But this anger is better out than in
Before it consumes me
I drown in helplessness
As I see the world fall
I hope a glimmer of light survives
It will call forth the future
I don’t want to lose hope
But you make it so hard
I wish
I could call forth more Light again
I wish
I can shine again
I wish…
I wish…
I wish…
I wish…
(Break the chains that bind you
Or bind yourself so as not to harm others)
