Reboot
We can’t stop falling, forever drowning
Get up get up, state of mind disrupt
Patterns rotate and it all goes on nonstop
All twisted in form, all coded from the day I was born
Or just my one-dimensional sight
Getting in touch with every single byte
Groping the wires for a guideline
Try to understand the opposite design
The world moves away, but I’m still right here
Time is holding on to my fears
I glitch my way through complexity
Sick of my code disconnecting me
Out of balance while motion needs to parallel
Caught in the storm while trapped in the shell
Feeling the thorns in this city, I can’t breathe here
Let me disappear, withdraw, retreat, delete
Surrounded by chaos and disarray
Like a virus overloading my display
It won’t stop
Choking on my design
I can’t be what you see
It keeps on falling away from me

Where are the voices to calm me down?
I gotta find my way
If I can’t run I’ll choose to swim
And keep on swimming too far into the sea
The water fills my lungs
Lost, out of reach
Still you feel the sand underneath
Where are the voices to calm me down?
We keep on coping but through hurt waves we drown
We’ve been escaping this forever
The clock keeps moving ahead of me
Get on the floor
Claustrophobic and silent
Cutoff the world like a shattered piece of diamond
Resonance from my steps makes me freeze
Who is to say what’s real?
Counting every way out
I am trapped in a cage
I’ve lost all control
Get me the fuck out of here
We’ve been escaping this forever
The clock keeps moving ahead of me
We’ve been escaping this forever
I am tired of you telling me how to feel
Start it up
Reboot the flux of my existence
I’m swimming against the current
Break your fucking neck

Trojan horse we ride that shit
Don’t play us straight and ya gonna get bit
This maze ain’t a game, catch a fire to the flame or be lame
We’re not the same
I’m killing your future, past,
Your suicide note is the only things that’s left
You come and test me, most people don’t impress me
They smile at you, silently stabbing your back (You can’t take)
Now you’re forced to take off the hat (For god’s sake)
All the things that you wanna withstand
But you can’t kill the game we’re not the same
Watch that shit - fuck that shit
Nothing that you do will ever be lit
Watch that shit - fuck that shit
Trojan horse we ride that shit
Trojan horse we run this bitch
You’re all too far gone
You’ve lost control and it’s set in stone
It’s like everything has been said before
You’ve lost it all and it’s said and done
Yeah, tick tock on the clock
Fuck off I’m your enemy
Hidden in your agony and not me
Till the day you die, can’t redeem yourself, I wish you well
Sounds like ’08 it’s just a little bit late
Better late than never but this never is your forever
This fever can’t be maintained by the fellow heads
What side do you take?
Mistakes are your name, this time stop the game
Take lives for your fame, everyday

Colors

You can call me infected, all covered in stains
I keep fighting the motions in memory lane
Part of me in the distance, I need assistance
Trapped in a coma rain
Making attempts to see through the sequence
These glitches in my system are frequent
Future and past at the same place
Set me free from the nightmares of this maze
Can I tell you what I’ve been feeling
Just this once more and I’m through
Can I tell you how it feels for me to stay awake?
All the colors of these moments fall around us like rain
Darker pigments, deeper shades, leave us forever stained
Flashing by city lights left and right
Obscured faces drowning in the dead of night
Follow the memories down their rabbit holes
The trauma never fades, the time we waste is just insane
Now let me tell you some more
From seconds to minutes, hour by hour
This kiss leaves a taste for my demons to devour
Blurry visions increasingly clear, crippling me
Scars from the past, rip and tear
Coma rain in this dream state
All these colors drive me wild

Watching the world fall apart in your head
Seeing mother earth lying on her deathbed
The filth running through and affecting survival
We should both know that we are the rival
We should both know that we are the rival
Wish we could all laugh and call it fiction
But this is the hard revelation
Something artificial enwrapped in a promise
Dogmas, dogmas, dogmas
Cryptic words concealing the shroud
Care and protection is what they have vowed
Suffering the consequences, paralytic
Dogmas, dogmas, dogmas
Children coughing up blood in the open
We try resisting but my lungs are burning
Overexposed to the chaos that we made
We’re bound to chains and questioning our fate
Victims trapped in a world going insane
We just stare at the names on the wall
What is the worth of my voice?
This illusion of having a choice
Conditioned to live with pain and death
Hanging by a thread
No stain to be seen on her silk robes
No stain on her dress, her eyes seem so clearly
so fucking real
We walk this earth with a broken perception
Sinking into the ocean of lies
Reshape your vision
Anything is possible but made impossible
Program
It’s our own construction that’s keeping us imprisoned

Walls closing in to form a cage, a path once laid out so straight
It seems to twist and turn the more I change
I don’t wanna stay in the rain
I tried to cut my roots and kill the tree
I couldn’t change myself for nobody
The same places that we’re told don’t exist
Are the ones they wanna fit me in
I don’t wanna be just where you are
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna feel a thing
Caught in the gears of my own perfect future
Slowing down is falling back, I need to prove myself
Every single thought is a distraction
Telling me everything but how to breathe
My doubt is my realisation I can’t live like you all do
And I keep on running into these walls and theses patterns of destructive thoughts
|

Keep pouring up to the brim
Chasing the party in an empty place
Always a fake smile on my face, destruction
This dawn never felt so empty, is it ever enough?
Facing your ambitions, but instead you hide
Choke on your lies and swallow your pride
You can’t keep detoxing till you’re pure Inside
So, make your decisions and we’re done with that
I know you want much more than this
So, give it one more try and you will find
It’s not far away, not far away from here
You refuse to love the dream
Like roots you hold the ground
Stuck in a pattern, is there a way out?
Time is ticking away
Your toxic embrace, it means nothing to me
Will you make your fucking choice?
Whatcha gonna do? Pull the fucking plug?
Or do I need to pull it for you?
It’s time to start off this new chain reaction
Awake in your cell
Awake in this hell
Willing to change is merely a fraction

Hollow

No god stays on these dirty streets
The numbers of hollow figures increase
Hear the cries and shrieks
Each time coming closer towards the disease
Recaptured by reality
Craving the taste of the chemical
So, I don’t have to suffer the unbearable
Is there anything left that I can give?
I’ll bury my name, drain all the life from my flame
Roaming again, Is this the end?
The missing part I’m feeling
Finding escape in dreaming
I tried to stay away, but I just buried myself
Now I’m fighting the infections and my blood is running ice cold
Distant eyes follow my words in slurred speech
It’s on my mind like a leech
I’m a wandering hollow like a shade
Locked in forever in this state
Left incomplete, no space for a heartbeat

On the crossroads of two extremes
It’s hard to see what is really me
Familiar faces form the shapes of deceit
Reality keeps falling away from me
Sinking and paranoid
Behind the abstract, in the void
The key of my condition, divided in surrealism
Whispers ordering: “Connect the dots”
They need to know that I am God
I am your God
Come wake me up
Take me from the deep
These visions betray me
I can’t sleep
Heavy eyes falling in gloom
Suffocating in this blackened room
The cold touch of a memory
Scars mask what we used to be

Flying in a black sheet filled with light shining from the stars
The boiling ambition inside to explore outside familiar core
Alone, all alone
Like many missions before, on this journey for more and more
Trapped in orbit, will I ever leave this cold planet alive?
Panic heart beat pounding in my chest
Wondering how long my mind will last
Floating in the dark, lit by error signals
I see my memories reduce to pixels
You know the real question is: Are we truly ready?
We dove into this, knowing this adventure could be deadly
Caught in its grasp, drawn like a magnet
Sucked into orbit towards the dark planet
Insidious skies clouding my thoughts
Twisting cognition, corrupting perception
Cold tongues rolling through the sound waves
Requesting assistance, please tell me you’re listening
Falling in the arms of living remedy, farewell Miseria

Break all ties, set it off
Chase no lies, leave it all
Can you feel us marching in rhythm, left and right?
Watch us as we expire in the blight, bring it on
Can we start again and escape this pain?
Mother Heresy please guide me away
They’ll never let go
Baptized in black sand, polluting our cells
Altered, conditioned like everyone else
Failures walk on fire, faces show a shattered soul
Killing my desires, the hunger inside I can’t control
Render me into something I believe
Call me deserter, I will achieve
Will they hear me?

The ending riff to Gungrave is absolutely cracked out, and pretty much every song has something of that caliber. Amazing album.
