O.E.I.P.
Toxic rain, the ultimate blow
All in vain, there’s only one place left to go
Sure ain’t no wonderland
It’s easy to understand
Things got out of hand
Lord show us pity
Survivors, just a few,
Strivig to carry through,
With nothing else to do
Raised this new city
Our existence is punishment
Is this what God has sent?
Safe inside, engineered to survive –
While the exiled out in the wasteland, they struggle for life
Refuge, sanctuary
Causing lethality,
Acute toxicity –
Lord show us pity
Sure ain’t no wonderland
It’s easy to understand
The same mistakes... Not again!..
Murderous city
Our existence is punishment
Is this what God has sent?
Existence is punishment
Isn’t what we meant
Existence is punishment
Existence is punishment
To our own detriment
Existence is punishment

Knowledge Is Replaced By Information
Switch it on, get connected
New perspectives every day
Your virtual heaven
Is now just a few clicks away
Day in, day out
Log in, log out
Knowledge is replaced by information
We only rely on the news, not on facts
A new generation of degeneration
Will carry on 'til there's no turning back
Log in, log out
Befriended by the whole world
And yet all alone
Not even a human anymore
Just another clone
Day in, day out
Log in, log out
Knowledge is replaced by information
We only rely on the news, not on facts
A new generation of degeneration
Will carry on 'til there's no turning back
Log in, log out

Big Wide Blue Sky
Big wide blue sky
Do you still remember how it used to be?
We lived our lives easy and clarity was the key
Time’s changed as we grew up and one thing is for sure:
Not much has remained of what we knew before
Sometimes when I’m alone late at night I recall
And I wonder if the past was for real at all
Now and then, even if the truth remains unseen,
Beyond the dark horizon there’s still a perfect dream:
Big wide blue sky
Big wide blue sky
So I opened up my eyes on that day I took a look to the sky
It was so bright it almost blinded my eyes
I even thought I heard the one sitting beside me say
Something about a place where people see this every day
Well, it didn’t last for long, it disappeared behind the clouds
And it was the last I saw of it without a doubt
But since then, even if the truth remains unseen,
Beyond the dark horizon there’s still this perfect dream...
Big wide blue sky

Phantom Age
From their roots, from their past people have been torn
By the Wonder of the World and the Purple-born
Centuries
Too many
Phantom age
Forgeries
The big machine once out of control
Back and forth without an end (bellowing out in rage)
Is now about to break down for good
Time to make amend (unveil the phantom age)
Vilify our storyteller and believe our foe
How much lower can we go?
Centuries
Too many
Phantom age
Forgeries
The big machine once out of control
Back and forth without an end (bellowing out in rage)
Is now about to break down for good
Time to make amend (unveil the phantom age)

Shallow Graves, Moving Ground
Winds of war blowing cold
The horrid truth still untold
Stories long forsaken
Of innocent lives taken
Who'd believe? No-one to recall
No questions – no answers at all
No-one to testify
Only a few are asking why
Shallow graves, moving ground
Murderous times' sepulchral mound
Shallow graves, moving ground
Signs of life without a sound

The Death Instinct
I’m gonna take that gun
Yeah, time to get it done
Glad to see you all again, yeah, it’s been a while
I am back to reclaim what’s mine, no longer in denial
Slave for a lifetime or hero for a day?
I have made my choice, you know, so I will have a say
They thought I was a miscalculation, an error in the system
Now I’m here to take them down, no one will ever miss them
The whole world stands on trial before me in this final phase
Martial law’s gonna take effect, all that’s left to do is...
...Erase of existence
Is it for fortune? Is it for fame?
What does it matter? Your end will be the same
The system made me what I am, it’s understood
Now it’s payback time and I’ll finish them all for good
I’m gonna take that gun
Yeah, time to get it done
I’m gonna take that gun
Yeah, time to get it done

No More Sun Shining Through
We might have seen it coming, the catastrophe
But we did nothing to make things any better, you see
Again I think of how it could have been now that all is through:
I’m dreaming of that island where the sky is always blue
I don’t care if it’s not true
No, it shouldn’t have ended this way
I never knew why our world was grey
Now, let some blue sky in –
Just for once, in these moments of dying
Funny how we’ve unlearned happy endings as we grew older
Was it really us getting more cynical or was it the world getting colder?..
If I could have another try, I know what I would do
I’d take you to that island where the sky is always blue
But there’s no more sun shining through...
No, there’s no turning back
Fear casts its shadow as we’re fading to black
Now, let some blue sky in –
Just for once, in these moments of dying
