Here we are

"Here we are"
Here we are
at the end
omnipresent
convoluted
mess
I wander inside
and I barely
feel like I’m awake
Will I break?
Here we are
turning gray
narcoleptic
and bemused by
faith
take a look around us
what do you see?
is this a new beginning
or fading dream?
we’re the ones who will find out
find out if all we have is now
Hear our voices
our fears
we’re the people
we’re machines
I wander inside
and I barely
feel like I’m awake
Will I break?
take a look around us
what do you see?
is this a new beginning
or fading dream?
we’re the ones who will find out
we will
find out if all we have is now
maybe
we will live to see the end
we may never understand
you cannot
comprehend
no
ignorance
this is your salvation
you cannot
know
secrets of the universe
no
cannot know
cannot know
all that we see
all that we know
what have reached
what lies beyond?
we’re the ones who will find out
we will
find out if all we have is now
maybe
we will live to see the end
we may never understand
you cannot
comprehend
no
ignorance
this is your salvation
you cannot
know
secrets of the universe
no

Uprising

"Uprising"
They said “it’s time let’s open fire"
we had no guns, no plans, no
reason to fight again
all we saw was marching death
and there was nothing left
we took our chance, we ran, we tried
we gave our dreams so you won't
feel the oppressing hand
our commander said it’s fair
your finest blood just drained!
how could you
just let them die
two hundred
thousand souls
whole city cries
see those scars that we wear?
nations’ empty shell
celebrating days of fear
failing to come clean
see those eyes full of hope?
asking what went wrong?
staring at field full of grief
ready to conceal
truth that made us fall
only truth can make us strong!
days of misbelief
is it all so hard to see?
break! fortress
let me see them all
break! fortress
of entangled tragic flaws
I said “let’s try, let’s open fire"
it isn’t brave to hide and
run for your life, I said:
"we have soldiers we have faith"
you play a losers game!
I heard the screams, I heard the cries
this is a sound of war that
keeps me awake at night
all I want is to escape
your finest blood just drained!
how could you
just let them die
two hundred
thousand souls
whole city cries
see those scars that we wear?
nations’ empty shell
celebrating days of fear
failing to come clean
see those eyes full of hope?
asking what went wrong?
staring at field full of grief
ready to conceal
truth that made us fall
only truth can make us strong!
days of misbelief
is it all so hard to see
there is a lesson for us all
black pages always show
our face in times of
darkness, now
we’ve got to….
break! fortress
let me see them all
break! fortress
stop denying I will
break! fortress
let me see you all
break! fortress
of denial we should
Know

My Prison Cell

"My Prison Cell"
There are voices in my head
but I guess they’re all just me
my ironic misbeliefs
there is one above them all
now I’ve got to try
and fall
fall through eye or self-deliverance
I’ll keep you close
but I’ve got to go
alone
searching for the key
to myself
to myself
to myself
to myself
I will do anything
but why do I feel this way
I wish I could
open eyes and see through
and be oblivious to the pain
ready to make sense
try to accept my arrogance
speak loud and with no fear
and even try to
give
little help to those who are in need
I love you so
no watch my fight
alone
searching for the key
to myself
to myself
to myself
to myself
I will do anything
but why do I feel this way
my prison cell

Anger

"Anger"
It’s true that I’m feeling
somewhat alive
but my mind isn’t clear
—let me breath
I just keep on dreaming
suppressing tears
and I don’t know what is real
How can you tell
who is sane, who’s to blame
and why do we care
for this life, why survive
—every day I die
I hear this voice it’s screaming
inside my head
and I wish for it to end
—let me ease your pain
is it that I’m being
too civilized
and I’m paralyzed by fear?
How can you tell,
who is sane, who’s to blame?
and why do we care
for this life, should I try
to disobey my mind
"why praise god
if all we want is to fight
fucking lie
there is no heaven for
those who kill without fear
so why do we feed on pain
does it mean we like suffering
will we survive or die?"
This cannot be real
we are supposed to build this place
and use our gift to fight the death
But how can you tell
who is sane, who’s to blame
and why do we care
for this life, should I try
to disobey my mind
"why praise god
if all we want is to fight
fucking lie
there is no collective mind
we’re just here to try
but why do we feed on pain
does it mean we like suffering
will we survive or die?
see my angry soul
this time I cannot hide
I, want us to survive"

Keepers of the Realm

"Keepers of the Realm"
Seems within the reach,
yet so far away from here
the universal dream to never die
Closer than before
can we conquer the unknown
will we bury souls
beneath the clouds
we try
should we try?
to never die
Thousand years ago we had nothing but hope
and devotion to one god
Now we start new age where more than flesh and bone
can define what is alive, I
cannot quite still comprehend what to expect
from obedient metal arms
would we want to be alive till end of time
colonize entire sky?
Sure we would that’s why we’re here
we’re the keepers of this realm
Designated by the holy life itself
our mission - conquer death
share the seeds of higher truth that’s what we do
fill the stars with righteous lies
you don’t seem to notice
but the world you knew has changed
there’s not point to twist your neck
you don’t seem to see it
but we pushed our limits and the
world you claim to love
it has evolved and
it's never gonna be the same
we cannot stop we need to make
yeah, a brand new world a better place
yeah, there is no time to waste
we are the face
woo-o-ho, of better world behind the haze
yeah, eternal life is all we praise
yeah, we’re all the same
We will break
through every wall that might be
there to take
away the chance for us to
realize
how to exploit and how to
monetize
source of eternal life
...come, take my hand
fall into oblivion
you may find
life beyond your simple mind
...take my hand
fall into oblivion
you may find
there’s life beyond your time
and million other worlds to go
or maybe brand new life
kingdom of the universe
I’m sure one day you’ll find
all that we are is simply here
all that we love is worth a tear
all that we want to do is live
