We're doomed to love
We're doomed to lust
We're doomed to desire and touch
We're doomed to hurt and struggle
As silver flooding flesh and minds
And gold becoming the only value
Can a child learn
To embrace his kin?

Porcupine's Dilemma
04:46
|
|||
|
Born and raised by Harlow's maiden
Fed by sweetness and stings
Every soul is a fire to yearn
When you live in silence and dread
From the needles of misunderstanding
Drips the poison of fear and reject
"You better man up soon my son
Or you'll be the shame of everyone"
Heart without a face
Leads without a trace
You've hurt me or did I?
Porcupine's Dilemma
The vacuity of human being
Invited me to dip my lips
Into the river flow of life
But I'm still afraid to drown
I used to be a joyful child
Welcoming everyone with a smile
Now that the years are dead and gone
Tell me what happened to this boy?
White noise in my brain
Fire inside my veins
You've hurt me and so did I
Porcupine's Dilemma
I shall not fear
Myself nor you
Whatever you are,
Said and do
Listen to what I"ll say
Whoever you are,
Whatever you say and do:
To Live without an aim
Is to be a Ghoul without a name
Love without pain
Goal without shame

Death Of Me
05:15
|
|||
|
Facing the abyss of what will and won't be
Too often arises the desire to give up
You must find a way ,to live and tell your tale
Until you find the will,the strength to go on
Overwhelmed by old and buried memories
Sometimes it just feels like you've all messed up
Still you find a way ,to live and tell your tale
Until you find the will,the strength to go on
All Hail the Death of Me
By the birth of a tree
I never wanted to be
This selfish man who hates everything he sees
Remember your childhood dreams
Sailing the Seven seas
Seeing over the Hill
Let your aging brain be healed
There's a long road before you
You got to reinvent
Please, have mercy on you
You have to reinvent yourself
Into the void, into the haze, into the maze of your mind
The Heart is, without any haste, embracing loneliness
Into the breach, Hope is blooming and a forest did appear
You're standing still, cured human being,
Without fear facing death
All Hail the Death Of Me
By the birth of a tree
I know the cure is to be
Whoever I want to be
All Hail the Death Of Me
As we greet a new friend
I wish all of you to see
that Death is not the end
All Hail the Death Of Me
All Hail the Death Of Me
All Hail the Death Of Me
All Hail the Death Of Me

Orion & Babylone
03:51
|
|||
|
She knows the stars by their names
She knows me more than I
I could forsake the sea
For the salt of her lips.
But love's forbidden
In Babylone
So my ship without an anchor
Is sailing away
from her
I'm Orion, vessel of void
Commander of a lonely heart
I'm Orion, vessel of void
Commander of a lonely heart
Elypse de deux ames en mouvement
Eclipse de deux amants
Elypse de deux ames en mouvement
Eclipse de deux amants

Skin Of A Hologram
04:50
|
|||
|
On the billboards of the Night City
There is a vision of pure Joi(tm)
The blue of her hair illuminates
The blue of my veins
Fills the hole in my soul
The pink of her halo, is a haptic crave,
a hunger for my flesh to be alive
The Heart is an ocean bound by flames
Within it resonates a metronome, rattling
From desire to pain
From pain to boredom
Is flesh enough to be real?
To be tangible? Or is it just a lure?
And I?
Caught in a lifetime, where worlds collide
Where thougths collapse
We virtualize
Our souls
But the steel in my veins...
Still the steel of my new veins
Burn
From desire to pain
From pain to boredom again
Hear my call, Goddess of Solitude
I once more request
Relief in your arms
Until the world cease to mad
I'll touch the skin
Of a Hologram
We're all on the altar of Solitude
Now that we fell
Disarmed
Until the world cease to be mad
I'll taste the skin
Of a Hologram

Realm Of Flies
09:17
|
|||
|
Cold is the world we live in
Warmed by the sound of the machines
Old are our fantasies
As our points of view
Folded our ethics and values
Smothered with a plastic bag
Under the smog of the City
New bargain on a gallon of fresh air
For a shortcut on Maslow's scheme
Would you sell, your humanity?
Welcome to the Realm Of Flies
White collars, in a grey garden
Welcome to the Realm Of Flies
Blue muggers, and red gutters
If Belzebuth has more than one face
His favorite lies in the dark side of Human heart
If Lazarus had another chance
Would he still come out of his grave?
No escape from the Realm Of Flies
We will fall, we will crawl
No escape from the Realm Of Flies
Don"t we all? Don"t we all?
As a traveler of non-sense
I beg a prayer for resilience
In the Realm of Flies
We will change the Realm Of Flies
Not cursing the darkness, but lighting a candle
We will change the Realm Of Flies
Not cursing the darkness, but lighting a fire
As a traveler of non-sense
I beg a prayer for resilience
In the Realm of Flies

Silicon Gods
06:52
|
|||
|
The windows leading to my haven
Feature lovers and loners
Busy on pleasing the algorithm
For a drop on their reward system
What's the place for love
In a world ruled by Silicon Gods?
We've already lost empathy,
To the God of Steel,
So long ago.
Swarming through the streets of glass
Faceless voices are praying
For their eyes to behold transhuman Messiahs
Through mirrors made hands
They applause
And I can't see what is right
In worshipping reflections
We are but cybernetic apes
Pushing the button
I won't make it my way
To live and to love
No I won't make it my way
To live and to love
What's the place for love
In a world ruled by Silicon Gods?
We've already lost empathy,
To the God of Steel,
So long ago
What's the place for love
In a world ruled by Silicon Gods?
We've already lost empathy,
But I won't make it
My way to love

Dreaming Of Dopamine
07:24
|
|||
|
Peace of mind for you and me
We lost our words
We were so tired
Freedom for you and me
We used to dance
Against the tide
Frustrated egos
Frustrated libidos
Separates the body from the mind
Frustrated egos
Frustrated libidos
Hums dulcet lullabies
Still, Love is dead
Love is dead
And still, we are
Love is dead
The bicephalous angel is devouring itself
Her face, on my eyelids
Calls for sacred bestiality
Her gaze, to myself
Reminds me of my own sensuality
On this Oniric Soil
I must face the reality
I'm just a boy, lost, dreaming of dopamine
Heart won't be tamed
Hatred to all in vain
Human to a fault
Perform by default
Why constantly striving to prove?
What do I have to prove?
Why constantly striving to prove?
What am I trying to prove?

In The End
06:33
|
|||
|
Born and raised with no anthem
You saw the world as an enemy
No choice but to be
a virus in the system
Bound and grown out of pattern
You're seeing the world as a predator
Waiting for you to burn
And surrender to the Grind
We are the echoes of a time
Where black and white were defined
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
As a child
For The silver hunt of Men
Wolf down every part of Him
Every weakness, every flaw
Every piece of humanity
As you roam down this earth
Stricken by fear and melancholy
Child of Oz, remember
To breed peacefully, the change you wanna see
Draw me a hope
From the ashes of this world
Where there's a place
Where we all belong
We are the heroes of our Times
We are the heroes of our time
But we are still roaming
And we re still learning
As the worms still eating my brain
Everything will be alright
My friend
In the valley of all Men
Everything will be alright
I swear
There's enough of sorrow and despair
