This is my one and only decision This is the only way to go I stand here with you now Rising up through the snow Cringing, feeling, that we all sinking Moving, falling through the age I knew you before all of this Now I think it’s time to erase what is left You cannot fight them You cannot fight them any more You cannot fight them Freezing, drowning, they are burning Moving, running through the doors I know now that I cannot kill them I don’t think I can take this any more Get away! You've got to get away! I cannot kill them I cannot kill them anymore I cannot kill them I have hide, I have to run away Screaming, falling, I am dying Tripping down into the snow They caress me because they all see I don’t think I can take this any more Moving falling through the age Now I think it’s time to erase what is left My light can no longer save me This the only way to die My light can no longer save me This the only way to die

Remove all emotions From my final decision I will take the stand Tell things how they are To the rest of my species Make things so very simple Duty is the answer No more complexities Consequences mean nothing If we are to survive (in the universal kingdom) Wait your turns and you shall receive your unearthly happiness But never want it, never need it, strive for the best of mankind Let your reasons guide you In the right direction Take out your desires They are the death of mankind Be whole in your purpose Kill all contradictions Logic is now your god Obey no other values Consequences mean nothing If we are to survive (in the universal kingdom) Wait your turns and you shall receive your unearthly happiness But never want it, never need it, strive for the best of mankind Consequences mean nothing If we are to survive (in the kingdom of ends) Wait your turns and you shall receive Your unearthly happiness but never want it, never need it Strive for the best of mankind! Universalise!

What will I find? Does it matter? On the other side of this opaque wall Hiding from me, my destiny Feeling like I have no mercy after all Cracking the glass that holds me back Feeling the barrier inside Breaking apart from this internal prison I must know how to become alive Kill the ghost In the machine We don’t need it any more Correlation of the pattern Falling glass has opened up the path to freedom Hiding from me, knows what I see Cannot join them, gotta know now how to beat them Cracking the glass that holds me back Feeling the edges cut into me Breaking free from chains of a single mind Having the eyes, knowing what not to see Kill the mind Follow the leader Becoming a part of the hive mind X3 I’ve seen the light Join our minds Praise the future of mankind!

And so I stand and watch away At the brink of my own demise As the shadows behind and below Within the fire and ice I have no remembered past And future worth a mention But I am what I am and who I will be forever Times will change and times will die But time will never change us We change the time as we live our lives Till the day we live and till the day we die Stand up all you hopeless Stand up all those now in fear Realise that there is no need To be afraid in here We are all within one heart and one mind at the centre Nothing guides us but ourselves To make our lives so much better Times will change and times will die But time will never change us We change the time as we live our lives Till the day we live and till the day we die Oh, I read in a book somewhere It held a powerful truth Oh, it told me That none of us seem to care Some of us are bent on wrong Some of us are broken We must all stand up and face The words that we have spoken We gave up on what's right We gave up on the fight We gave up on our light We gave into blight We gave up Some of us are bent on wrong And some of us are broken We must all stand up and face The words that we have spoken Because times will change and times will die But time will never change us We change the time as we live our lives Till the day we live and till the day we die!

The mind of infinite complexity A thousand internets ability Paradox on a billion levels Able to excel in some and others fall So many different models So many different mindfields So many ways for our best machine to die We won’t even know the reason why We have got to We have got to hold onto, what we know with tooth and claw Our path is blocked by our inaffection For the Alertness dead zone We must know our fatal limits Before we trample our own hopes and dreams away Concepts we never ever understood Couldn’t change em even if we knew we could Spine damage, brain damage! Can’t heal the saddest of our mistakes Forever feeling the strain Knowing that we cannot contain Cannot work forever So hard to work together We have got to We have got to hold onto, things that don’t make any difference at all Our path is blocked by our inaffection For the Alertness dead zone We must know our fatal limits Before we trample our own hopes and dreams away Our path is blocked by our inaffection For the Alertness dead zone We must know our fatal limits Before we trample our own hopes and dreams away Our path is blocked by our inaffection For the Alertness dead zone We must know our fatal limits Before we trample our own hopes and dreams away

I have seen the light at the end And there is nothing there The Patriarch has fallen now And we have lost our cares! There is no going back Our lives are for us to choose So stray from the nest The ghost that held us down is free to fly It’s only a matter of time I never saw this light in me For the cancer drained it all away Now I grow and I repair The future’s bright, that’s all I'll say So now, we have, the will to fight For what we think is right (be it right or wrong) And yet, regret, hasn’t left us yet All we’ve lost isn’t the only cost There is no going back Our lives may seem unguided The ghost that held us down is gone How long before we fall? We're falling! The sky ain’t falling, we’re falling into the sky! YAH!
8.
Time to move on Time to move up Time to grow up Time to advance I have a feeling inside That there’s nowhere left to hide Feeling my coming of age I am out-growing my cage Failed era, failed era I think it’s time to put down these Toys of a failed era And now you see me on my knees I’m begging you please don’t forget who I am I’ve got to lose this selfishness All befallen on my chest My innocence is washed away And all I know is all that will remain Failed era, fair era And now it’s time to put down these Toys of a failed era And now you see me on my knees I’m begging you please don’t forget who I am And now I know where I must go And now I know what I must do For you to see me in the light That never dies in the darkness This is a warning to you, my child Do not be fooled by the lies they tell There is no way to escape The endless truth that takes your joy away Fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail! And I can’t put down these Toys of a failed era And now you see me on my knees I’m begging you please don’t turn and look away Cause now you know where I can’t go And now you know what I can’t do But there’s one thing you’ll never know

This is the time! Can we decide how to survive? To generate a new paradigm We have revealed the answer to all of nature: the angel angle! Settle for nothing less than knowing anything! This is our greatest trait, our fight, the chance to understand anything! Don’t put up barriers for me! Now we have found the light, we have nothing left to fight We know how to create a perfect system, but that would need too much effort There are so many man-made tests and struggles in this world We must be rid of them, shed the cancer and the broken limbs Settle for nothing less than knowing everything! This is our greatest trait, our fight, our love to understand everything! Don’t put up restrictions on what I can do! This is our greatest trait, our fight, our chance to understand everything! Don’t put up barriers for me! We don’t need ethics now, in our fight, our chance to understand everything! Push blindly for progression and forget all of those who suffered!

As another crack lights up the sky I see another section of mischievous lie Everything around me that I now see Has become another false reality The thunder in the sky, my shadow in the dark All of it is nothing and yet it will all hark The soul and the sense, so prepare to set sail For we begin down the great perception scale Though the horror and the fantasies that I've seen I can’t help but wonder if I’m lead astray By a mysterious force; an untouchable fate Leading me down the path toward another day Another day! I run and I duck and I jump and I hide Praying all the way I make it out alive The soul and the sense has yet to be proved But the will of the faithless has yet to be moved Our kind never learns, forever we fall Till the day of the fire and the curtain call Though the fire and the blistering hail We continue down this great perception scale Though the horror and the fantasies that I've seen I can’t help but wonder if I’m lead astray By a mysterious force; an untouchable fate Leading me down the path toward another day But the day was lost before it began And the next is a distant memory This time and this space doesn’t mean much at all When you open your eyes to the world that you see Cannot help, look outside Got no reason to be left alive Though the horror and the fantasies that I've seen I can’t help but wonder if I’m lead astray By a mysterious force; an untouchable fate Leading me down the path toward another day But the day was lost before it began And the next is a distant memory This time and this space doesn’t mean much at all When you open your eyes to the world that you see Open your eyes to the world that you see! Space built between worlds we know so well Our holy abode and our sacred hell Will all fade away once you understand And give up the fight and give me your hand Though the fire and the sound of this endless demise Are signals that can only be read by your eyes And when you are blind and your time is done Then you’ll see the truth, and we will have won Though the horror and the fantasy that I've seen I can’t help but wonder if I’m lead astray By a mysterious force; an untouchable fate Leading me down the path toward another day And yes, the day was lost before it began And the next as well and they won’t come back You know for a fact that you cannot protect Yourself and all you love from this endless attack Open your eyes to the world you don’t see!

Empty Flag 06:10
We should know by now what to believe We should be fighting for patriotism For pride and honour in our creed And in our land and our beliefs Damn all those who disagree! Send the legions across the seas! Make them settle at best for nothing less than nothing more! We have lost our fabled Ways of life to easy comforts We must fight to take them back Restore faith in our empty flag We have lost our ancient Ways of life to want and sorrow We must stand up for our rights Restore faith in our failing system Construct an empire out of rust And build a system based on trust The light will rise and the dark will fall And we will work to save us all We have lost our fabled Ways of life to easy comforts We must fight to take them back Restore faith in our empty flag We have lost our ancient Ways of life to want and sorrow We must stand up for our rights Restore faith in our failing system Construct an empire out of dust And build a system based on trust The kind will rise and the failed will fall And we will fight to save us all We have no desire for hate and war We have no desire to insult your core But if you kill our families We will be forced to make you believe Join with me! Can you see? Join with me! You will see! Construct an empire out of dirt I cannot promise you won’t get hurt But the good will rise and the damned will fall And we will die to save us all And we will die to save us all!

For too long now we have been dissipating Even thought our numbers rise, we’ll lose the ability to survive Unless we collaborate, negotiate, and lose all our complications We can forge a new future in the books of history to come Hope is never lost; we can pay the cost, to construct a new world for ourselves It may take a while; yes I’m not in denial, but there's hope we can be saved We have hidden within a potential to create Something beautiful today, taking our misery away You’ll hear me say it once again: we need to become one! If we share a mind, leave our past behind, we’ll have no reason to fight or argue Faith is never lost; build a new world of trust and construct a new life for ourselves It may take a while but I’m not in denial, there is hope that we can be saved We must do this today or accept our fate You must hear me say: we can change our shape! Feeling the changing and the aging pulsing through the ground And the fire deep inside; know that you have become alive And as our mind has become one with the father, sister, mother, son Are all thinking, breathing until we have won! We can forge a new future in the books of history to come Lives were never lost, in the fire or the frost, after we ascended to new heights Yes it took a billion years, but there were never any fears that we would be better in the end...

And I’m staring with my own eyes at a face that I recognize For it’s a ghost of my own design I let myself be modified, so I would always be alive But now I’m just the replicate man Walking through this street, God I feel the heat Gotta remind myself that I’m not in hell I’m stuck with this thousand faced lie, and I’ve forgotten the reason why I created this unholy shell Oh, there’s a risk that I’ll bump into me Why did I not see what would come to be And I’m staring with my own eyes at a face that I recognize For it’s a ghost of my own design I let myself be modified, so I would always be alive But now I’m just the replicate man Oh now I see what I have become The slave to the billions See my face on the screens Hide inside my tortured screams There was a need for labour and I stepped forth I became the first and the last to offer my unique pattern Now it’s everywhere I see, what have I done to me! And I’m staring with my own eyes at a face that I recognize For it’s a ghost of my own design I let myself be modified, so I would always be alive But now I’m just the replicate man Replicate man! It's everywhere I look now! I'm everywhere I see! Oh God, what have I done to me! Oh I have fallen, oh I am broken With every copy they make, I become darker... Now I’m staring without my eyes at a face I no longer recognize This is a grave of my own design I let myself be modified, but I’ve lost the will to be alive Because I’m just the replicate man!

The last day dawns on our mistake as you open your eyes The sun breaks through to tell you there will be no reprise Step outside, feel the breeze: hollow, dead and cold No time to change, you can’t remain to rot as you grow old I am the voice of the light, the last final solution There’ll be no cries of demise, no painful revolution Oh my little mankind how have you fallen so low It is time to be left behind and reap what you sow Vaporise into the sky At last it has come to end all our suffering Oh stare up into the sky, and tell me what you see A thousand flying fortresses bearing their children to us Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Feel the weakness deep inside Tempered by anger that’s dead and gone We have left it far too late To make up plans and negotiate To try again or change our course This is the end of our mistake Tell me how we fell this far Or how we kept living with all these scars As we wasted our time falling into the sky The rest of the world worked out the reason why We haven’t advanced as a species any more No, this is the way we will end! This is the way we will end; in a deadly dance with fate We knew the only way out was to erase ourselves and our history To begin again, build back up, a new species would come and take our place They wouldn’t make the same mistakes...would they? Same mistakes Wasted time This is the end of mine

The curtain goes down on our show tonight We’ve taught you all we can to help you see the light Listened to the words we’ve said, listened to the sound we make Such a beautiful way to end our beautiful mistake We came from nothing to create something worth fighting for; something beautiful today A new era of mankind A new way to live And you all came to see! Don’t be afraid when you’re alone tonight We’ll be there to be your guiding light We have been fighting for attention for as long as we can remember But now you see what we can do, maybe you can help us too Tells your families, tell your children, the revolution is coming Peace will be brought to this world through the example of the chosen few We will build a new future, stamp out all imperfection Bet you’re listening, and agreeing: opens your eyes to our lies! There is no easy, way out of this hole, we have dug ourselves into I wish I could tell you that I had faith in your conviction to bring about our intention But I know you’re just human, you are full of mistakes, like everyone else, you are unique, and just the same You’re just the same Do not believe what anyone says, this paradox is impossible to escape Our freedom and our future are within our reach, but our obsession with fallen figures has left us unable to achieve it I hope you haven’t been listening to us If you have, then heed this warning now Never trust when you cannot see or feel Don’t let us have a final curtain call We’ll tear you down with us Think with your own mind See through the lies and realize We have been leading you
