1.	Torn Apart 01:46	lyrics	buy track
I wanted to talk I wanted to fight I filled up my lungs and shouted my language conquered the world I was free to say what I wanted Swallowing fire Burning my heart All the memories faded Words couldn't hurt anymore Never would I be rejected This flame won't go out Burning the lies What language to speak In a world torn apart How to describe The pain in my heart This world will stop To shake and turn It's too late to learn We will burn Only the truth will remain
2.	I Won't Deny 01:47	lyrics	buy track
Everything around me is collapsing But I'm still holding on Faces became a memory Words turning cold Why are you blaming me Broken promises Broken dreams I turn off the light And shut the door Staring temptation back in the eye I feel the passion burning my face A deafening ring inside my head One by one the sounds fade away There is nothing we see in the dark When pictures stop and voices die
3.	Leaving the Past Behind 01:32	lyrics	buy track
All the great times we had All the hours spent together All our hopes, all our dreams Proud of what we reached When I felt out of place I needed to move on Choosing my own directions But you couldn't relate Changing, growing Leaving the past behind Sitting here in front of you Thinking of all we've been through Always something to talk about How could we change so much
4.	Days Turn Into Years 01:18	lyrics	buy track
Still standing tall My foundation won't break Days turn into years While waiting for me to fall The past and the future Will be conquered By strength and submission My soul will stay pure Won't hide behind fake smiles I will never give up on my beliefs
5.	Melted Minds 01:10	lyrics	buy track
The face of authority has changed The power-elite is no longer tied to space Have to save a virtual world To fight the powers We can not see Technology is the foundation To consolidate power in a global system Centered in the free-zone of time An entity shaped by imagination
6.	Until I Forget 01:18	lyrics	buy track
Eyes open wide Refuse to see Turning away Until I forget Give me back The world I know Without the years I have lost Caught in my life No one to blame Trying to feel A shadow I stay
7.	Day by Day 01:20	lyrics	buy track
No more words left to speak Turn around afraid to see You are caught up In your own lies No matter what you say No matter what you do It will never change What's deep inside me Day by day It's growing stronger Can't hold me back Any longer
8.	Face the Truth 01:15	lyrics	buy track
Seas of terror frozen in their eyes Innocent victims of cultural genocide Freedom of humanity Brings responsibility Are we ready to face the truth Can we, will we Take responsibility For the suffering we cause Or deny humanity By consuming their flesh Cries of despair are no illusion Wake up from this dream
9.	Cage 01:08	lyrics	buy track
Our preference is a cage From which we can not escape Our standards of beauty Are killing people everyday Our bodies are nothing Slaves of our minds Human beings turned Into image and profit
10.	In Your Eyes 01:21	lyrics	buy track
We are free Spreading our wings Reaching for the sky Never looking back Never afraid to die In this moment All the words We used to know Are fading into silence Moving away From the world below us Moving away From our past In your eyes I see A reflection of me I feel the earth turning Being close by your side In your eyes I see A reflection of me Standing on top of the world I never felt so alive
11.	Take It Back 00:56	lyrics	buy track
Fuck your limitations The values you bring down on me Your distorted view on love Standards of the way I should look You took away my life Destroyed everything I had You took away my life Now I take it back Fuck your happiness The rituals of lost generations Your narrow-minded pride My remorse when I cut you off
12.	My Shadow Ahead 01:18	lyrics	buy track
Watching my shadow ahead I cover my face And remember the days When I was a kid Hoping my dreams Will last long enough To let me die happy Not yearning for more Like a man lost in space Howls for the earth Or a dog for the moon With no reason at all The whisper of the thunder The agony of death and birth Time is taking me Back to the dark
13.	Breaking the Silence 01:12	lyrics	buy track
You have crossed the line The storm in my mind Is breaking the silence My senses are flooded with hate Let's bring it down to it's knees Stop this army of disease Can't tolerate your ignorant views
14.	Empty Inside 01:55	lyrics	buy track
The time is now Take your chances Don't let life pass you by Running in circles Turning back time Empty inside Lost in this world Bound by desire Truths of time Consumed by greed Life is an empty dream Don't try to hide Things aren't what they seem Why do you hide Swallowed by the patterns Of the weak Trying to learn How to count the years
