Ivanhoe - Lifeline lyrics



Tracks



01. Lifeline

Trapped in myself
I was blinded by a fool
I am breaking my own rule
In the heat of the day

Follow my heart
There is someone to be found
Somewhere around
But my fortune has failed
My fortune has failed

And I'm burning out

Watch me dying while I'm running out of time
I am the fool I see, inside my painful memory
Watch my lifeline shift backwards while I'm trying
In present history no distance will save me

Make up my mind
And I haven't any clue
See everything I've done
from a dark point of view

The past is now
For awareness for myself
I am on the shelf
Cause my fortune has failed

And I'm burning out

Watch me dying while I'm running out of time
I am the fool I see, inside my painful memory
Watch my lifeline shift backwards while I'm trying
In present history no distance will save me

02. Mad Power

I can't look in your face
I don't want your embrace
You try to dominate my art and space

And don't forget that I try
So hard to accept
All of your delusion and vanity

You're running round in circles
You give advice and high moral outrage
Keep following your, follow your, follow your round
Fulfill confinement by yourself

Keep the distance to me
Keep your eyes away
I will raise my powers
I will destroy...

Don't cross!
I will rock you with old forgotten
Mad bad power
Don't cross!
I will rock you with old forgotten
Mad bad power
My mad bad power, my mad bad power

I can't get no relief
You caused anger and
Deep In my heart your vision holds me down

No way to care for myself
No chance to lock up my shelter
Hold on to my myths to carry on

What if all the good times
All the red lines are lost in conversion
they follow me, follow me, follow me down
Respect my border if you'd like to stay

Keep the distance to me
Keep your eyes away
I will raise my powers
I will destroy...

Don't cross!
I will rock you with old forgotten
Mad bad power
Don't cross!
I will rock you with old forgotten
Mad bad power
My mad bad power, my mad bad power

03. Schizophrenie

If I cry for you contritely
If I knew you all along the line
If all the things will flow
we truly never know

No matter how to
or who to (blame)
or how long
I don't know who you are
the words are hard to find

No way, don't try to hide or find me, I stay in here
It's too hard, things we struggle through this lifetime all apart

There's a thing we both deny
We're creatures suffering inside
But all we need to know
This spirit's compromise

Falter from under
To flash a wonder and praise our soul
I don't know where we are so far
Two of a kind

No way, don't try to hide or find me, I stay in here
It's too hard, things we struggle through this lifetime all apart

04. Suffering

Another time you seize my day
Won't you try another way
I am not the one you love
You cast the spell so take it off me
Offerings easy to see
You warm me in your pillory
Offensive is your style of play
Reflections for what's holy

Infection of my faith
Betray my soul it's suicide
Use all worries I am in
To get me out of pain
And make me suffering

You're wrapped around my soul
Warming my mind
Just trying all the time
Let's get suffering
Wrapped around my thoughts
Leaving us behind
Dying all the time
Wrapped around my soul
Warming my mind

Suddenly I'm on your way
You love it if I'm here to stay
You are not the one I love
So don't pretend and take it off me

Fairy tale it's not for me
It's like a living misery
All the tricks to get me in
Reflections for what's holy

Infection of my faith
Betray my soul it's suicide
Use all worries I am in
To get me out of pain
And make me suffering

You're wrapped around my soul
Warming my mind
Just trying all the time
Let's get suffering
Wrapped around my thoughts
Leaving us behind
Dying all the time
Wrapped around my soul
Warming my mind

05. Angel's Hologram

Why I still feel the pain
It doesn't let me go
Are you just a picture now?
A picture for my pain
That's anyway in my lifeline

A perfect hologram
Cause you get hurt by life
Oh, before you die
No, no I think the pain's just the fact
I can't hear you laughing again

Your picture's alive
My picture's a lie
Your picture's alive
My picture...

I'm shy
I dare to touch
It's hard to realize
Are you just a picture now?
Are you free from this prison I'm living in?
Far beyond your spirit there

I saw the skyline
Do you paint the sky?
Ohh, I see your smile

No, no please stay a while
It feels so strong, it must be real time and again

Your picture's alive
My picture's a lie
Your picture's alive
My picture...

It's my own private cage
it's something I like
I think I'm a friend of pain but...
I don't want to call myself a victim
I really enjoy this kind of pain
It shows me I'm still with you and you're still with me
I love you...

06. Time Machine

I gotta extricate myself from here
To find my own religion
I need a travel close to the speed of light
But my time is running out
I never thought I'd feel this way
I wanna crack my incarnation
Like a rusty nail stuck in my brain
This dream won't disappear

The structure of the world as far as our science can reveal it
All I know is I want to move in seconds from sunlight to moon

Oh what is it for, remonstrative religion
With no motion in our hearts
Oh it is a lie, systematically repeated
To build the brain-dead man

Let me live inside a time machine
Gonna be here and there and kill myself for a while
Let me live inside the time machine
No one there to fear my style

I will create a new cosmic string
I will travel to your smile
I wanna dream like elements so fast
Kiss my grandma for a while
I escape this snobby place and change it
Turn everything to love
Can do everything without a risk
Stretch the universe

Oh what it is for, remonstrative religion
With no motion in our hearts
Oh it is a lie, systematically repeated
To build the brain-dead man

Let me live inside a time machine
Gonna be here and there and kill myself for a while
Let me live inside the time machine
No one there to fear my style

Oh what it is for, remonstrative religion
With no motion in our hearts
Oh it is a lie, systematically repeated
To build the brain-dead man

Let me live inside a time machine
Gonna be here and there and kill myself for a while
Let me live inside the time machine
No one there to fear my style

07. Finally

Visions of a healed world
Summerwinds and snow
We should take care and yes, we must share our place on earth

I know that you will fall behind to stay unseen
The strangest thing you do is searching for a loosing streak
The world we live in is only measured by our science
The way we live goes on like this an ocean full of lies

Can you imagine what I feel
When all the raging thoughts never cope with your will
Immaculate decisions
Your customer's delight
No human agenda
A mockery for your life

Nobody will, nobody will face the light
They're tired of fights
Nobody talks, nobody cares what's right
They all leave in the night

I care too much what you say
And what I've been told
I know that you won't look into my eyes
If I cried

I know that you would die to get a piece of love
But all you do is walking to security and laws
And as you travel by ship across the sea
There's nothing more than dollars for your rational relief

Can you imagine what I feel
When all the raging thoughts never cope with your will
Immaculate decisions
Your customer's delight
No human agenda
A mockery for your life

Nobody will, nobody will face the light
They're tired of fights
Nobody talks, nobody cares what's right
They all leave in the night

08. You Will Burn

Feeling the power
Hunting her beautiful aura
Get the ring, her sacrifice
I know she's with me
My daughter you won't have to fear all the secrets
All of my madness

Christian insanity
Deep cryptic, you getting strange
As the youngest child
Your spell of illusions
Where are the chosen gods
To keep you away from yourself
Dark realm shall disappear
Let it all begin

Somewhere you'll burn in fire
I hope you're on your way
Someday you'll burn in fire
I hope you're on your way

Wondering, searching
For the beauty in her life
Curious but she's just reflecting your cries
Lucifer's crusade
Justice is worthless you're guilty of what you've done
A monster's mind

Christian society
They saw you down by cross
At the altar
The creed of your damn life
Where are the chosen gods
To keep you away from yourself
Your dark realm shall disappear
Let it all begin

Somewhere you'll burn in fire
I hope you're on your way
Someday you'll burn in fire
I hope you're on your way

09. Cheops

Long ago far away
They built a pyramid in desert sand
Precise as a razorblade
Khufus obsession the greatest impression
A dream becomes a massive force

Desert ships are sailing through this land
Through all our lifetime and the centuries
Everyone fears time but the time fears the pyramid
But soon our life is history, so

Who creates the great pyramid?
Who creates the great home of the king?
All the memories in all these years
A life to create the 'tomb'

We all go trough life
And textbooks told us about the universe
But here's a wisdom far beyond our science

Desert ships are sailing through this land
Through all our lifetime and the centuries
Everyone fears time but the time fears the pyramid
And soon our life is history

Who creates the great pyramid?
Who creates the great home of the king?
All the memories in all these years
A life to create the 'tomb'

Desert ships are sailing through this land
Through all our lifetime and the centuries
Every one fears time but the time fears the pyramid
But soon our life is history, so

Who creates the great pyramid?
Who creates the great home of the king?
All the memories in all these years
Of hope and anger, they're fading away
Thousands and more, alive to create the 'tomb'
