01. Logging On

[Instrumental]

02. Faceless Society

Last night I chose to end my life
Become a part of the virtual entity
Reduce myself to just a name
A number and build my ID up from scratch

My life has become cold
New life, new ID
Only connected through the faceless society

Today my new life began with logging on
Disconnected from the flesh and construction has begun
This virtual entity is me, the re-born "I"
No human errors, only binary is real

My life has become cold
New life, new ID
Only connected through the faceless society

I live life on the screen; this is my new home
No longer have a face
A cable in the wall
My link to New World
Only a number no name

Only live life through the faceless society
I live my life through the faceless society

My life has become cold
New life, new ID
Only connected through the faceless society

03. The Rise Of Triopticon

TriOpticon, what are you to become?
Caught now inside, the new reason to exist
TriOpticon, what will it soon become?
Now she is tied to this path

Growing up and getting strong, born and let loose
And when the firm now rises
She feels that her fears fly
This will be me, this one urge to live on
So it moves on. Lust like never before

Growing up and getting strong, born and let loose
And when the firm now rises
She feels that her fears fly

Multinational: much more than dream
Now the world is watching the company
Built up from scratch, still more fights left to fight
Some aims are gone; some just now in her tangled mind

The fire burning bright, carries on, this endless fuse
And as the yearning grows, so does the firm now rise
With nothing more to lose, not at least not for her
And watching it all come true, she hopes not ever to die

04. More Than Man

Man yet not man, who is she?
A stranger on our mother Earth
Why is she here? What is the task?
Could she be the One?
Heaven sent her down to earth?
Is she a miracle?

More than man is what she will be
The one who is mighty, this is her dream
More than human, what is this?
This is Delacroix

She feels a stranger here, do not know why
Her visions of the future
No one has a mind that is their own
She knows, yet does not
Can it be a perfect race?
What we all do dream?

Order or chaos, what will she bring?
This one leading many is she/this the dream?
More than man, what will it be?
Answer Delacroix

Delacroix
Delacroix

She is all beauty.
Let me in, to the family of light
More than man is what she will be
The one who is more than man, holding the dream
Order or Chaos: what will it be?
Decide Delacroix

05. Triopticon

Welcome to the future where everything is gold
We will welcome everyone, young and old
We will build a new world, different from this old
Power, wealth will co-exist, the price is your...

Do you feel sadness in your life?
Do you feel all alone?
Come to our family of light
Come to TriOpticon

We will give you anything you need
Anything that you crave
All we ask of you is this
The price for your...

Do you feel sadness in your life?
Do you feel all alone?
Come to our family of light
Come to TriOpticon

We will give you anything you need
Anything that you crave
All we ask of you is this
The price for your soul

Do you feel sadness in your life?
Do you feel all alone?
Come to our family of light
Come to TriOpticon

Do you feel sadness in your life?
Do you feel all alone?
Come to our family of light
Come to TriOpticon

06. Machines Of Mental Design

Welcome in "units", you have entered paradise
Transformation, from a once human form
Unification, of mankind and the machines
Transgression, combine the mind and machinery

I will save you, we will live on
And I will take you deep inside
Birth, life, death; escape the final curtain
Rise machines of mental design

New science; she has mastered human kind
New society; Delacroix has changed our lives
Change direction. We are part of the machine
They are stronger; they are a part of the new time

You will save me, I will live on,
And you will take me deep inside
Save your self, saved from the final curtain
Open the mind and let me in

Birth, life, death; the machines of mental design
Birth, life, death; the machines of mental design

I will save you, We will live on
And I will take you deep inside
Birth, life, death; escape the final curtain
Rise machines of mental design
Save your self, saved from the final curtain
Open the mind and let me in

07. Puppets Of The Mainframe

It its the most beautiful I have ever seen
A tribute to mankind
Close their eyes, it is like it is a dream
It is the most beautiful they have ever been
A triumph for mankind
Open their eyes, they trust her: come in

We are dreaming
What makes us loose all control?
Concealing what she really does inside your soul

Morning comes and it is time for work
We are tired, but no rest for the best
We are loyal beyond this world
Evening comes and it is time for life
Fired up, but no time but for sleep
They are puppets of the mainframe

Am I dreaming?
They make me lose all control
Screaming as it reaches deep inside my soul
Inside my mind.

Much more does she expect? Forever, is it permanent
What life? I love you was her first words
What more can she expect? Already we are parted from life
I hate you was my first thought

I am not dreaming
Filled with pain, "No more!" she cries
Revealing what she really does inside your mind

Screaming!
I believed the words she fed in me
Betrayer: covered in lies! Now all the world shall see
Leaving!
I leave her soon. She will not own me.
Never!
Uncover it all, the puppets will be free
With a smile she thinks I live for her...

08. War Within

Something is wrong inside the family of light
"Wonderful": Just a scam, not the truth
Tomorrow she will fall like many before
Now it is done, step out of misery

Another feels him call...
Many aggressive: followed a leader...
A voice had brought their souls inside
Now he is opposing, sending a message: Opening their eyes

Delacroix. What a shock before her eyes:
No more! He wants to take away her life!

Another joins them all...
No more oppression, no more deception,
She will not catch their souls again
Freedom is calling, her tide is turning:
Opens her eyes

Now war within
Will they win? I can not see
This was not the dream, as I wanted it to be

Now war within
Will they win? I can not see
This was not the dream, as I wanted it to be
Oh what a fight. War within
It could not be that this was the end to be

What a sight...

09. Escaping Time

This technology makes past and future come together
Lost no direction; found the path that led behind
First to biology: to find the key and write it down
That was my very first defense against the world

She found the key; she knew that age would come to her
Life is just an active search of life... Escaping time
She saw the firm would start to live and breathe all by it self
And so she starts to create a new human race

She found the key; she knew that age would come to her.
Life is just an active search of life... Escaping time.
She found a traitor and he spoke himself of what she not knew
The final pieces and now she has seen it all

She found the key; she knew that age would come to her
Life is just an active search of life... Escaping time
Time is not the end. The end will never come for me
No more to flee; thus escaping time

10. A Secret Revealed

It seems like something is turning
What did I leave on the earth?
He thinks the time has come
What has my child become since birth?

Now I know what was burning
Why I have this nagging sense
How can I stop this yearning?
Purest pyromania

What did I leave on the earth?
What did I think of then?
He speaks to them slowly and soft
The secret is revealed

We heard that one is not learning
So now please let us see
How she made them the victims
Purest thing ever on earth

What did I leave on the earth?
What did I think of then?
He speaks to them slowly and soft
The secret is revealed

It is so dark in here, No light at all
No faces here, none at all
Where are all, where are all my many joys?
They have been stolen, just like my machines

What did I leave on the earth?
What did I think of then?
He speaks to them slowly and soft
The secret is revealed

11. Point Of No Return

Started this life, I am the one to blame
Family comes second hand
Got to stop her now: for the future of man
Point of no return

No more waiting from those who wants us well
For they all know she has come too far

From far beyond the valleys,
Flies above the earth
Comes across the river
Point of no return

The die is cast, there's no way back
What is coming? They can't tell
End it now the time is right
Something is in the air

No more waiting from those who wants us well
For they all know she has come too far

From far beyond the valleys,
Flies above the earth
Comes across the river
Point of no return

From far beyond the valleys,
Flies above the earth
Comes across the river
Point of no return

From far beyond the valleys,
Flies above the earth
Comes across the river
Point of no
Point of no
Point of no return
Oh yeah

12. Intervention From Beyond

Oh no (mortality), what a dreadful delight
Immortal: the purest essence of might

Guardians, intervening from beyond,
They have come for her, to end her fantasy

You left me, I hate you; please try to fight me!
No mercy progeny; I can not let you live
Mine, they are mine, they are mine... Mine and only mine
You are mine; you are mine: Mine and only mine

Trapped and lost. Everything is lost
She's watching everyone. Where can I run?
Where can I hide from him?
No one hears
No one sees
Most of all no one cares
They all obeyed, listening to her charming voice

Mine, you are mine, you are mine. Mine and only...
Mine, you were mine, you were mine... Mine and only mine
They are mine: you are mine... Mine and only mine
You are mine...
Mine...

13. The Journey

She has lost, now she is gone; she has nothing, she had all...
She has lost, now she is gone; she has nothing, she had all...
She is a beauty but a beast; she got caged, she was unleashed
She speaks softly to your heart, as your head gets ripped apart
You can not run. She can not escape the ones within

Fades out, fades out.
Nothing left behind...
Disappearing, vanishing.
Pitch black eyes
Won't you come along with me to another time,
Where you can be free? Won't you like to fly away, to another time,
Where you can be free?

Something is wrong. What has been done?
Bright lightning as the sun, where is electricity?
Has my time come for me? Powers lost and where am I?
Staring in these demons' eyes, I do not know; is it too late...
As I am drawn to the gate

Fades out, fades out.
Nothing left behind...
Disappearing, vanishing.
Pitch black eyes
Won't you come along with me to another time,
Where you can be free? Won't you like to fly away, to another time,
Where you can be free?

Pitch black eyes
Won't you come along with me to another time,
Where you can be free? Won't you like to fly away, to another time,
Where you can be free?
Where you can be free?

14. Torn Apart

In the night my mind travels far into the other world
Another dream comes to mind: Again
When I see the land rise above my sleeping self
I realize a growing divide

I see the way torn apart
I seal the pain in my heart

As the dream evolves, turns and flies beyond every path
For travelling beyond the skies
Of my ever growing fear of ever being one
with the world before know to all mankind

Think about the endless pain if I could not return again
to my awakened life tonight
Torn between the worlds of a dream and the awakened life
I think of them this night...Tonight

I see the way torn apart
I seal the pain in my heart
