Doomed 04:35
DOOMED do you still believe in the lies now are you still denying it's our fault tell me who else is to blame that the world is burning? hold on tight as the water is rising close your eyes its a bitter goodbye when the dams are breaking, flood is washing away what we built with our hands for our kids, for ourselves and i still believe that we'll make it out alive that we still can do the right things yeah i still believe that some day we will unite that somehow we still can save this this is not my own war, this shit is political but change is unpopular so we leave it to solve for further generations, oh how they will hate us for living our lifes at their expense we are doomed beyond repair too far in, still too comfortable to care we borrowed time that we didn't have we lied to ourselves we made this too easy we are doomed beyond repair finally awake now you stare in despair your hesitation gets us all killed this shortsightedness is the root of all evil the privileged life made you lazy and blind this indecisiveness got us into this mess and i wanna believe in a better place and i wanna believe that there's a chance for change that somehow we can still save this and i wanna say that i've tried everything to prevent the desaster from happening that somehow we can avoid this this is not my own war, this shit is political but change is unpopular so we leave it to solve for further generations, oh how they will hate us for living our lifes at their expense chorus do you still believe the lie are you still in denial tell me who else is to blame that the world is burning? you say there's nothing you can do but you'll say whatever suits you just watch the fires burn maybe we've passed the point of no return do you still believe the lie are you still in denial tell me who else is to blame that the world is burning? chorus

Alien 04:01
ALIEN you humans why are you so confusing all the books in the world all the things i was told prepared me for nothing so lost, i was hoping to watch from afar until it all becomes clear till i can see a pattern but it all seems so random i need an instruction for the appropriate reaction and any interaction cause whenever i'm just watching you find that odd and disturbing you ask questions and i don't know how to explain it best i'd hold my brain out in my hand but surely you won't understand I'm an alien only in human skin trying so desperatly to fit in wether you give it a name or just call me strange i couldn't care less you try to exorcise me i'm not gonna change i couldn't care less chorus post chorus 3/4 Takt chorus post chorus

Mother Earth 04:22
MOTHER EARTH have you seen the fires burn have you heard the waves crashing in the earth is shaking what money can't buy, isn't worth for nothing if the lakes run dry, we put the space up for auction let's put the waste in the oceans, till they're filled to the brim and if there's oil in the ice, well we better dig in have you seen the fires burn all to ashes and coal, left no house and no home have you heard the cries in vain as the waves came crashing in, taking all there was with them digging deep building higher greedy thieves skilled liars digging deep building higher greedy thieves and when it all turns to dust oh mother earth what's gone is gone and it will never be the same and when it all turns to dust oh mother earth what's done is done and we're all to blame and when it all turns to dust oh mother earth whats gone is gone and it will never be the same this isn't going to sort out itself and when it hurts, yeah when it hurts it's already to late but why would you care you know it can't reach you you know it can't reach you up there chorus what's done is done and we're all to blame we're all to blame what's done is done and we're all to blame piano chours

AGAINST IT ALL i am stuck in my own war it's myself against it all there's a reason i have barricaded day and doors again there's no way when there's no will and i begin to understand that i alone brought this upon me, but unable to accept it i'm still searching for excuses, but no way out of this mess i said that i was sorry for at least a hundred times you told me that i needn't worry, cause you forgive and we are fine but the devil on my shoulder had plans to play a different game and to this day he sends his demons to remind me of my shame and you say you drop the charge and you say that you forgive it all all the doubt the blame the tears, the heavy burden i still carry all the hopes and dreams and fears, all the sleepless nights i worried i have replayed all the arguments to see where i went wrong and to this day i can not understand when it all began and you say you drop the charge and you say that you forgive it all oh i try to believe when you say you forgive but after all this time i see, it's not you, it's me i am stuck in my own war my own war it's myself against it all i fight but i am bound to fall i am my own worst enemy i am never truly free it's myself against it all i fight but i am bound to fall i am my own worst enemy never free and when darkness falls it's myself against it all and there's no god to forgive - my sin if i'm not forgiving and it's all in your hands in your hands

FALSE PROPHET it is dawning on me now that something has gone terribly wrong nobody saw it coming but now we starring at the fortunate son and for all i know we can't trust a word he's saying but we're kneeling at his feet kneeling at his feet and like the shepherd to his sheep where he's leading we will follow as if we are asleep as if we are asleep well who would have thought that it would turn out this bad we thought we had the power now we have blood on our hands we thought this was a joke but now this could be our end we gave it away now we can't grab hold again too many just like to follow only few will ever think and i think it is a problem if you just like to believe cause maybe so called born leaders shouldn't be the ones that lead us is mankind too stupid for a democracy as if we wanna be cheated as if we wanna be deceived there's a hunger for headlines for missteps and red lights and for all I know we can't trust a word he's saying but we're kneeling at his feet kneeling at his feet and like the shepherd to his sheep where he's leading we will follow as if we are asleep as if we are asleep and i'm torn between the bad and the worse the evil and the cursed and i'm not so sure who's friend and who's foe what's real and what's show and i don't even care who's bought for what price cause they're all selling lies and i can't predict who will win and who will lose cause there's not much to choose and i'm torn between the bad and the worse the evil and the cursed and i don't even care who's bought for what price and for all I know this is the biggest show to show us that we are powerless that we are powerless

Atlantis 03:25
ATLANTIS most of us once had high hopes and strong believes but we gave up on our dreams most of us once found a needle in a haystack but maybe we never knew most of us once went out in the woods but didn't find a single tree and i still try to find atlantis even if nobody believes that it exists but i'm a dreamer and i dream of what i want most of us gave up before they even tried cause they thought they could save time most of us are trying to hard too grab ahold in an out-of-control world no don't call me naive no don't call me blind i'll keep up the search with my eyes opened wide 2x and i still try to find atlantis even if nobody believes that it exists but i'm a dreamer and i dream of what i want

Fragile Soul 03:17
FRAGILE SOUL if you bend i break that is just one of my many mistakes i've got a fragile soul and no elastic heart so if you push or pull i fall apart if you bend i break that is just one of my too many mistakes i've got two broken wings still i'm in vertigo so if you push or pull i'm gonna fall i am not made of stone (i can't brave the storm) i am not built brick by brick (can barely hold my own) but against all odds (you can still hear my voice) i am still standing if you bend i break i just can't handle another mistake i've got the blackest soul and a stone cold heart so if you push or pull it's getting dark i'm not made of stone i'm not built brick by brick but against all odds i am still standing i'm not made of stone i'm not built brick by brick but against all odds i am still standing i am still standing i am still standing i am still standing i am still standing i am still standing i can see the sun (still it blinds my eyes) i can feel the warmth (but i still hide inside) and against all odds (you can still hear my voice) i am still standing will you bend till i break or can you handle my many mistakes i've got a fragile soul and no elastic heart so if you push or pull i fall apart

EMPTY SILHOUETTES you're shifting values and virtues they sold you a dream they made it sound so easy you follow prophets and preachers a blinded believer and i know i can't reach you you're in the dark you don't see it a construct of lies and false promise you bought it all, little puppet you're surrounded by empty silhouettes that speak your name like you wanna hear it that will play nice as long as you pay it you're surrounded by empty silhouettes that tell the lie how you wanna hear it that hide the knife as long as you don't object they shift your values and virtues you do as they please they whispered words in your sleep and now you believe you entangled yourself in a dangerous net and the harder you struggle the deeper the dept you went into the trap such an easy catch and the harder you struggle the deeper the dept and i wanna believe when you say you're in control and i wanna believe when you say you know it all you know it all you know it all but you're in too deep to even see where this will go they'll put your feet in concrete when they don't need you anymore they never wished you well they just wanted the money you never saw through the lies you were easy prey you're surrounded by empty silhouettes that speak your name like you wanna hear it that will play nice as long as you pay it you're surrounded by empty silhouettes that tell the lie how you wanna hear it that hide the knife as long as you don't object

GUIDING LIGHT i remember looking up to the king and the queen of this four-wall-kingdom my guiding lights in every night, my solid stones in the river of time you were the gods, you were the all-knowing you were the masters of my universe you had the answers to all my questions and i believed every word you said through the years it dawned on me that nothing's quite as it seems even the king sometimes cries at night even the queen isn't always right you made it look so easy like there's nothing you couldn't do oh i thought we would just grow up but i'm the child that i ever was and when we grow old we would grow stronger by the minute that's what i was sold but i didn't sign up for this and i know i doesn't ever turn out how we wanted or how we were told but i didn't sign up for this i'm a dreamer surrounded by made up minds i'm fragile surrounded by bricks and knifes i'm a lover in a world of broken hearts a hopless case in a world that doesn't grand new starts when we grow old we would know what keeps the earth in her orbit and the feet on the ground but no one's ever tought me this and i still don't know how to walk a straight line without looking or falling down cause no one's ever taught me this chorus 1 and we would know what keeps the earth in her orbit and the feet on the ground but no one's ever tought me this when we grow old we would know what keeps the earth in her orbit and the feet on the ground but no one's ever tought me this and i still don't know how to be a guiding light how to be a solid stone cause no ones ever taught me this

Regret 02:52
REGRET do you remember when the world held it's breath and we swore we would never forget we're all aware if this would happen again, oh how would we regret trial and error sometimes may have worked but on such a big scale we're destroying our world to a point where there's no second chance cause we poisoned the well and now nothing remains if we don't learn today don't look for another way no heaven will await us if we don't make a change to scared to make new plans no heaven will await us do you remember when the world held it's breath and we swore we would never forget we're all aware if this would happen again, oh how would we regret not having learned from past events damned to relive our failures again too proud to admit and understand we can't rewind and take another chance if we don't learn today don't look for another way no heaven will await us if we don't make a change to scared to make new plans no heaven will await us

Gaia 08:24
GAIA is this the ending of all after the rise comes the fall and we're obliviously standing on the edge are we damned to stand by watch as everything dies have we drained the earth of all that she's worth i don't know what to expect from those who don't respect life in all it's beauty life in all it's ways for me the one is damned who feeds on blood of the innocent have you no heart to feel the unconditional love there's a beauty in all even the small things but i fear that most of us are blind to the details how can i make you believe you can be the change that you want to see soon enough you will let go of all that you know all creatures must die, cause we're king of the hill more a king of dystopia, all rotten and ill i'm shocked and disgusted what humankind is capable of, when all act blind badly neglected, used and rejected we took what we could get without second thought so cold and heartless, it seems there's no heart left and i fear that we're standing on the edge there's a solid chance that we will all meet in hell cause there's no way we'll go to heaven with the mess that we made and if you realise there was a time you could have changed let me tell you, too late is too late we are blind for most of our lives i guess over time we dropped our sense of morality lost the ability to tell right from wrong leave things where they belong we denied all things free and wild their natural life we thought we had the right i'm shocked we had the audacity to treat nature as enemy deep in the night you can hear Gaia cry have we lost our minds tell me when have we become so cold we let the whole world go to waste on our search for gold have we lost our hearts tell me when have we become so cold we watch the whole world slowely die cause we're greedy souls there's a solid chance that we will all meet in hell cause there's no way we'll go to heaven with the mess that we made and if you realise there was a time you could have changed let me tell you, too late is too late too late is too late too late is too late there's a solid chance that we will all meet in hell cause there's no way we'll go to heaven with the mess that we made and if you realise there was a time you could have changed let me tell you, too late is too late have we lost our minds tell me when have we become so cold we let the whole world go to waste on our search for gold have we lost our hearts tell me when have we become so cold we watch the whole world slowely die cause we're greedy souls
