Arrival of a Train
03:55

It’s the arrival of a train
To my forgotten lizard brain
Into the heart, into the vein
Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo goes the train!
It’s the arrival of a train
And all your fears, sweat and pain
Are lost like tears in the rain
Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo goes the train!
It’s coming
For everything you care about
Hear chugging of the wheels
That’s all your fears coming true!
The train is coming
And everything you love will perish
And the last thing you will hear
Choo! Choo! Choo! Choo!
Await arrival of a train
It will be gone, you will remain
The future truly is insane
Just wait until we make a plane
And you will die under the train
Your blood will flow down the drain
And all your struggles are in vain
Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo goes the train!
It’s coming
For everything you care about
Hear chugging of the wheels
That’s all your fears coming true!
The train is coming
And everything you love will perish
And the last thing you will hear
Choo! Choo! Choo! Choo!
The metal train is coming right into the village
The metal train is coming right into my head
And will I find myself running from its image
Or will I ride it to the sunset at the end?
Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo goes the train!
It’s coming
For everything you care about
Hear chugging of the wheels
That’s all your fears coming true!
The train is coming
And everything you love will perish
And the last thing you will hear
Choo! Choo! Choo! Choo!

Fire, Plague and Locust
03:35
|
|||
First thing in the morning
Check if the world is burning
It easily can change overnight
Check if the symptom lingers
Count your teeth and fingers
Looks like you are doing alright
The smoke is rising higher
And everything's on fire
And when it dies, the plague will return
You gotta stand your ground
And build a fence around
And pray the barbed wire won't burn
When doubting your choices
You talk to inner voices
It is your way of coping with stress
Is someone coming here?
Maybe interfere?
They all had it coming, I guess
Strong men make good times!
Don't ask me how, it's science!
I’m fighting for the whole human race
And future generations
Will launch space stations
I only need to crush someone’s face
Fire, plague and locust
Are spreading as you are standing still
It all will make you stronger
Just as long as you don't kill
Yourself
You have
A gun
A head
Go mad
Count all senses
As your expenses
And leave your shelter
In disarray
You're almost hopeless
The only hope is
To try to live or
To die another day
Remember the beginning?
We thought that we were winning
Now all you want is to die in peace
In the abandoned fair
You dream of clean air
You also dream of hating your kids
You all are weak and spoiled
Your oceans aren't boiled
Your ice caps are not going to melt
Your whole generation
Is blight upon the nation
If only you just knew how it felt
When fire, plague and locust
Are spreading as you are standing still
It all will make you stronger
Just as long as you don't kill
Yourself
You have
A gun
A head
Go mad

Engine of Skin
04:21
|

Are you in love with your engine of skin?
Where does it end and you begin?
Does all the pain make you feel alive?
A burn from a fire? A cut from a knife?
Blood from the cut will be lost in the soil
Little by little, ‘till nothing remains
Bring on the future where synthetic oil
Slowly replaces the blood in my veins
On your soft palate - expiration date
And someday you will find you've got used to pain
Apathy will rise, and it grows in size
Just as fast as the growing disease in your brain
Can you experience life as it is?
Excluding all the wavelengths you miss?
And every day you can feel even less
The time has come for breeding and death
My mind and my soul are a chemical process
It can be copied, deleted and more
When one door opens, the other one closes
But now we can break open all of the doors
On your soft palate - expiration date
And someday you will find you've got used to pain
Apathy will rise, and it grows in size
Just as fast as the growing disease in your brain
Are you afraid of evolving too far?
That at the end we’ll lose who we are?
If you are burning the things you oppose
Add to the pile your glasses and clothes
Take all the flesh that I could live without
Damn all the feelings, it is but a shell
Upload my soul and my mind to the cloud
While my body can go straight to hell
On your soft palate - expiration date
And someday you will find you' ve got used to pain
Apathy will rise, and it grows in size
Just as fast as the growing disease in your brain
Sometimes I dream
Of Luddites reversed
That will break down
The engines of old
Armed to the teeth
With pitchforks and torches
We'll come to the source
To start a revolt
Blood from my core
Rains on the floor
I’d rather die
Then give up control
Broken machine
The engine of skin
When you will end
Then I’ll begin
Are you in love with your engine of skin?
Where does it end and you begin?
Does all the pain make you feel alive?
A burn from a fire? A cut from a knife?
Blood from the cut will dissolve in the ocean
Little by little you rot from within
Your soul is trapped in a downward motion
Powered one-way by the engine of skin
On your soft palate - expiration date
And someday you will find you've got used to pain
Apathy will rise, and it grows in size
Just as fast as the growing disease in your brain

Evoke
04:17

I’m dealing with a devil
I wrote his name on the wall
The signs will unravel
A way to heal my aching soul
I’m drawing the lines on the floor
So it will not hurt anymore
My flesh is weak, my end is near
I’m at my final chapter
The death itself I do not fear,
I fear the void after
The devil has come to my call
The deal is sealed with my soul
Evoke a demon by its name
A soul exchanged to ease the pain
I leave my old form in the past
I will be free now at last
The devil is eternal
He is a part of space and time
My suffering’s internal
And now we’ve swapped his soul for mine
And I will surpass death and pain
The time will die, I’ll remain
I walk across the battlefields
Across the salted soil
A thousand years - it will heal
A million - it will boil
The time of man passes by
My new flesh refuses to die
Evoke a demon by its name
A soul exchanged to ease the pain
I leave my old form in the past
I will be free now at last
The time is ending, it fades away
Its end is witnessed by the chosen few
The smallest particle is the last to stay
And then the universe is born anew
The sorrowed tale repeats again
The age of man is rising from the ash
I hear myself calling my new name
To swap my soul back into my dying flesh
I find myself back
Returned to my old self
The time loops forever
And here I am again
I’m back to my time and my place
With an insane smile on my face
Now I’ve seen the end of time
I fear death no longer
The fear of death is gone away
Replaced with something stronger
I’m laughing, deranged, on the floor
I’m scared of eternity more
Evoke a demon by its name
A soul exchanged to ease the pain
I leave my old form in the past
I will be free now at last
