Tracks



01. Vultures Paradise

My ajar eyes are hurtin'
Everything is red and burnin'
Can barely see those movin' spots above me
Why am I meant to be here
Supposed be a square meal
Without a clue I've reached their nest in good faith
But terror filled my ears
The highest pitch of fear
These carrion eaters in a shriekin' nightmare

Their shiny peckers, no one else around
I'm left here on my own
The pain is gettin deeper in my soul
Ripped and bruised and torn

Vultures paradise - Headin' for the main course
Vultures paradise - Waitin', turnin' circles
Vultures paradise - Whirlin' to the main course
Vultures paradise - You're invited...

There is no feedin' frenzy
And they just keep on waitin'
There is no hurry to prepare the banquet
Your dreams will be a starter
The meal's not just about it
The full course features your complete destruction
Their nature's black and deadly
You'll never understand it
Until you realize how hungry they can be

Their shiny peckers, no one else around
I'm left here on my own
The pain is gettin' deeper in my soul
Ripped and bruised and torn

Vultures paradise - Headin' for the main course
Vultures paradise - They're turnin' circles
Vultures paradise - Waitin' for the main course
Vultures paradise - You're invited too

Stretch my hand and try to understand
If I'm dead or still alive
Birds of prey, there's something you won't take away
My pride

My ajar eyes - Hurtin'
Everything - Red and burnin'
Flappin' loud - Whirlin'
Much too late - Time to worry
A crazy world deceivin'
Not easy to believe in
Cause when you're outside you don't care to find it out

Despair and desolation all around
In their ugly dome
Your future will be put off like a scary tale
Never to be told

Vultures paradise - Ready, you're the main course
Vultures paradise - Waitin', turnin' circles
Vultures paradise - Whirlin' to the main course
Vultures paradise - Fill your bellies
Vultures paradise - Vultures paradise
Vultures paradise - Vultures paradise

02. The Cube

Scanning all the days of my life
Walking through the memories
I can't remember how it started and I
Don't know... "Why am I here?"

I look around and all I see now
Just another empty room
My blood runs cold, realizing
I'm a prisoner in the Cube

Fear
The creacking walls, the moving floor
No matter... something must be done
So many doors before my eyes
Just one will lead me to the light

Where are the dreams we had before?
Our future expectations?
I'd kill a friend to reach the end
That's alienation rising...

Look for the exit in myself
Or else I'll roam in vain
Oh... I gotta keep on the right way

I run against my time
To get me out before it's too late
I fight against myself
To reach the end before I go insane

Agony
No time and no direction, I'm
Not telling the new sections
My mind begins again to wave
It's blinding me, there's no escape

Dance on the line between my life
And death who's calling loudly
But no religions help me out
My self-belief is all I've got

Find a solution in numbers
To get back to the light
Oh... I gotta keep on the right line

I run against my time
To get me out before it's too late
I fight against myself
To reach the end before I go insane
Your cry will reach the sky
Our time will come to break the Cube inside
Cause freedom seems to be
So close to me, so close to me...

Paranoia is leading me now to insanity
I know Madness is the easy way out...

Here is the door to the exit
To win the Cube inside
Oh...I gotta keep on the right line

I run against my time
To get me out before it's too late
I fight against myself
To reach the end before I go insane
Your cry will reach the sky
Our time will come to break the Cube inside
Cause freedom seems to be
So close to me, so close to me...

03. Screams Of A Dying World

Dreams of living a better world
Hope to reach our final goal
It's all gone - Just live your day once more
The golden years and then decay
The game breaks off, pawns thrown away
The show is over - Can we still find our way?

In our hearts, in our souls
We'll be fighting till the end
Though there's not much left to hope

Children cry, no one cares about
And if we die, they'll be burnt out
They will scream - With nobody there to hear
Our politicians have worked hard
Built some rocket ships for the stars
They say we're sorry - You know, there's no seat left

As we lay, the starships rise
They'll be the breed to survive
No more taming lies
As we lay, Earth's our grave
We are damned
For we already hear

The screams of a dying world

Mankind dying - Ground is burning

In our hearts, in our souls
We'll be fighting till the end
Though there's not much left to hope
In our hearts, in our souls
But we are damned
For we already hear

The screams of a dying world

04. Chains Of Life

Life is a chain that grabs you from behind
Feel the growing pain as it digs into your mind
Lost in a dungeon, you run in the dark
The only light you see is a fuse that burns in sparks

It's hard to fight again
When your hands are trapped by chains of life

Hundreds of bats fly inside your belfry
Biting pieces off your brain, it drives you insane
An hungry jackals pack runs at your back
So when you're dead and gone, they'll come and lick your bones

You'll never touch the sky
Cause cut wings cannot fly

When everything is lost, you just think of losing yourself
Dreams are all gone, like forgotten books on a dusty old shelf

But suddenly a sail appears on the horizon
A ray of hope that breaks the clouds of despair
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
The concrete wall is now just a curtain to tear

You'll fall then rise again
Just another ring of the chain

When everything is lost, you've got to find the strength in yourself
Hold by your dreams, don't forget 'em alone on that dusty old shelf
When everything is lost, you've got to find the strength in yourself
Hold by your dreams, don't forget 'em alone on that dusty shelf
