[Verse 1]
Stuck in the middle of a war zone, I feel your cry
Knee-deep, I hear the sound lighting up the sky
Shelling, the cowards let it rain, from a tag on the wall
The violent collusion on the faces of the youth, enraged them all

[Pre-Chorus]
Lies feeding lies, we are the rebels
Lies feeding lies, we are the rebels

[Chorus]
Dying, hit the ground
Hiding, face first down
Are we too far from no return?
Dying, hit the ground
Hiding, face first down
Where's the path to sovereignty?

[Bridge]
??? ???? ?????. ??? ???? ??????
(We are not the enemy. We want peace.)

[Verse 2]
Turned to ashes, our paradise reduced to dust
We are not the ones to fear
Misunderstood in sadness, painted blood-red stains
We breathe the same and we bleed the same

[Chorus]
Dying, hiding
Are we too far from no return?
Dying, hit the ground
Hiding, face first down
Where's the path to sovereignty?
				

[Verse 1]
Don't think, don't speak, watch out
Don't blink, dissent is a cry for the dead
Chin up, back straight, don't ask, just hate
The serpent's alive, you are all crucified

[Chorus]
Tear down the walls again
And all that remains

[Verse 2]
He'll see your good deeds and raise you two rights
He'll lose it all just to stay in the fight
And if you're still blind, sing praise from your knees
His heel in your back from once where you stood free

[Chorus]
Building your walls again
And all that remains

[Post-Chorus]
Broken, broken
Leave the lies
No use in defending
Shattered, fragile to the core

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
So hail, hail to deathmocracy
Hell for your thought crimes, hail to your piety
Oh, the irony, the antidote is the disease
The balancing of ignorance and atrophy

[Chorus]
Tear down the walls again
It's more of the same

[Post-Chorus]
Broken, broken
Leave the lies
No use in defending
Shattered, fragile to the core
				

[Verse 1]
Light-years and shadows, you'll never see the end of day
Distant horizon, far beyond the past you cannot save

[Verse 2]
Whispers, no silence, echoing the sounds from far away
Sequenced pariahs, following the footsteps to your grave

[Chorus]
Pulling me down, the undertow
It's dragging me, now I'm paralyzed
Beyond, the distance is out of reach
There's no more I can take

[Verse 1]
Light-years, you'll never see the end of day
Distant, it's far beyond, you cannot save

[Chorus]
Pulling me down, the undertow
It's dragging me, now I'm paralyzed
Beyond, the distance is out of reach
Pulling me down, the undertow
It's dragging me, now I'm paralyzed
Beyond, the distance is out of reach
Single file form in line
				

[Verse 1]
Light, great rays of light speak from the sun
Now it's your turn
Find the echoes of time warping your mind
Conscious to all your senses
Stranger than illusion, sifting through the hands of time

[Chorus]
And when you reach for the stars, hold on
And when you think that you can't go on, don't let go

[Verse 2]
Come, now what do you see?
Can we imagine life without you?
All that's changing and rearranging
The suffering is what we've come to know

[Chorus]
And when you reach for the stars, hold on
And when you think that you can't go on, don't let go

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Fear not what you've become, not what you see
Nor things that could never be

[Chorus]
And when you reach for the stars, hold on
And when you think that you can't go on, don't let go
				

[Verse 1]
Lightning (Charging with a vengeance)
Strikes you (Spreading like fire)
Takes you down, down, down
Sell me what's real, become desensitized
Pushing their own point of view

[Refrain]
Lies, shoving it down, down your throat, lies

[Verse 2]
System (No communication)
Broken (Poisoned motherfuckers)
Spins you 'round, 'round, 'round
Media persuasion, speeches and names
Paved by the ones with the crown

[Refrain]
Lies distort your mind, makes you blind

[Chorus]
Tonight your freedom dies
The scars to prove it, no reason or no rhyme
The twisted web of lies
Just take your time and hurry up
You're free to do what you're told

[Post-Chorus]
Propaganda fashion
Propaganda fashion
(Fashion, fashion, fashion, fashion, fashion, fashion, fashion)

[Verse 3]
Lightning strikes, tension builds
Social cancer rots you away

[Refrain]
Crimes, what's it take to realize?

[Chorus]
Tonight your freedom dies
The scars to prove it, no reason or no rhyme
The twisted web of lies
Just take your, just take your time

[Post-Chorus]
Propaganda fashion
Propaganda fashion
(Fashion, fashion, fashion)
Propaganda
Propaganda fashion
				

[Verse 1]
If I leave
Would you wait for me?
If I fall
Would you pray for me?
And when I'm gone will they remember me
Or fade away into eternity?
Nothing lasts forever
I can't forget the past
I'm searching for the answers
Through the bottom of a glass
Now this empty road
I'm too weak to ride alone
I've come this far but have so far to go

[Chorus 1]
Down
Down on me
And when it rains it pours
'Til we all fall down

[Verse 2]
Do the pictures on the wall
Mean anything at all?
Or just your selfish way
To cope with all the pain?
At night I hear the screams
Echo in my dreams
And when I've hit the ground
You kick me when I'm down

[Chorus 2]
Down
Down on me (Down on me)
Drowning me (Drowning me)
No use in pretending like we've done before
Down
Down on me (Down on me)
My dark reverie
Nothing lasts forever, just revolving doors

[Bridge]
(Take)
Take me away
Away from all the pain
Take me in his place
So far away
Away from empty streets
The streets I've only known
Only how to roam
Roam to the other side
So take, take me
Why don't you take me instead?
We all fall
We all hurt
We all bleed
We all fall
We all hurt
We all bleed

[Chorus 2]
Down
Down on me (Down on me)
Drowning me (Drowning me)
No use in pretending like we've done before
Down
Down on me (Down on me)
My dark reverie
Nothing lasts forever, just revolving doors
				

[Verse 1]
Same old lies, sequester the nonbelievers
Don't forgive the ones who trespass against us
Smiling deceivers, painted faces by the wishing well
You don't even trust yourself

[Chorus]
Why do we face the same thing if change is a constant?
Have we not learned from the past, from the past?

[Verse 2]
The stillborn star we'll never know
The parent's love that won't let go
The bullied teen that's ready to shoot
A tear and a 21 gun salute
Welcome to the age of misinformation
Seeking control, your reflection's a stranger

[Chorus]
Why do we face the same thing if change is a constant?
Have we not learned from the past?

[Post-Chorus]
As we all fall down, the jester still sings to me
As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me
Descending madness violently

[Bridge]
The poisoning of tribes, to the lifeline of Flint
Now the black snake, it crawls deep within sacred grounds
We will never consent

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
The night watch man just buying his time
An outcast, a resident, a transient, the punishment
One dollar bill, no table for two
So many questions no one ever asked

[Outro]
As we all fall down, the jester still sings to me
As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me
Descending madness violently
As we all fall down
As we all fall down
The silver lining screams to me
Descending madness violently
				

[Verse 1]
Hear the voices in your head
Do they speak of grand delusion?
Moral truths to comprehend
A soul's contusion, the scarred reunion

[Chorus]
And you dream
Can you feel me?
Can you feel me?

[Verse 2]
Colors change from black to red, I'll never remember
Still you search for the meaning
Strange lies hypnotize me, you know I'll never surrender
And still you scream for madness

[Chorus]
And you dream
Can you feel me?
Can you feel me?
Fantasy, dreaming, can you feel me?

[Bridge]
There are many truths behind these eyes that you see
On one side love and laughter, the other darkened disbelief
Searching for the sunset clause for my release
Sincerely, Mr. Post-Traumatic looking for some peace

[Chorus]
And you dream (And you're dreaming)
Can you feel me?
Can you feel me?
Fantasy, dreaming
And you dream (You know I'm dreaming)
Fantasy
				

[Verse 1]
Foresight, casting the stone, no forgiving
Transcribed, immoral objective engaged

[Refrain]
(What I see) What I see
Hold them down for not believing
Tyranny (Tyranny)

[Verse 2]
Subscribe, question what stares in your eyes
Quick to derive what makes of the sinner or saint
Right or wrong, weak or strong

[Chorus]
Walls binding, reason holds the key
Taught violence, reconditioning
Find the solution, destiny
To be free again, you justify the sin
Launder the conscience

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
(What I see) What I see
Hold them down for not believing
Tyranny (Tyranny)

[Chorus]
Walls binding, reason holds the key
Taught violence, reconditioning
Find the solution, destiny
To be free again, you justify the sin
Launder the conscience

[Instrumental Outro]
				

[Verse 1]
All alone still searching, patiently holding on
She cries and cries, wondering when will it end?
She tries and tries, hopes and dreams will fade

[Chorus]
The sky lost in grey
No light to find your way
Still she pulls through another day

[Verse 2]
The hurt he wears, broken
Lines on his face, emptiness
He cries and cries, hoping she'll be there again
He tries and tries, never to surrender

[Refrain]
When you're lost and lonely
And you're reaching for me

[Chorus]
The sky lost in grey
No light to find your way
Only time will tell

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
The sky lost in grey
No light to find your way

[Refrain]
When you're lost and lonely
And you're reaching for me
				

As you awoke this morning
and opened up your eyes
Did you notice the tear-stains
lining your face were mine
Don't you wonder, can't you see
what's happening to our lives
I can't keep living this masquerade
When my lonely eyes see only your face at night
I only see in infrared
I can't dream anymore
Can't you see I need, too
I can't stand the pain
You've gathered all my secrets
and I don't know who I am
I even feel alone when you're near
'cause you'll never understand
When we first met I must have seemed
a million miles away
It's strange how our lives have touched
But the time is right
I'll leave tonight
Don't look in my eyes
'Cause you've never seen them so black
I only see in infrared
I can't dream anymore
Can't you see I need to
I can't stand the pain
				

Shades of grey were the colors of my soul
Accepted miseries embraced for oh so long

The hands of time sweeping all my dreams away
Lost in a circumstantial maze

Moving on to another day
Searching for a brighter shade of grey

A somber silhouette displays the beauty of a dream
Until I realized your open eyes in front of me

You color my life with everything you do
And this open road only leads me back to you

Moving on to another day
Searching for a better way (a better way)
Seek and you will find the cure a blessing in disguise right before your eyes
				

In the dead of night
She'll come and take you away
Searing beams of light and thunder 
Over blackened plains
She will find her way

Flying high through the night
She will hide your fate
As she takes your soul from under
And the blinding light of the castle fades

There is no escape
It's the ending of your precious life
Your soul slipped away
It belongs to the Queen of the Reich
The Queen of the Reich
Yeah she's coming for you

You're fading away
Your life cast astray
A victim the beast shall obtain
The light will not shine
For you'll die tonight at her shrine
And black is the last thing you'll see

Over and over
Dreams of dying fill your head
It's the sign of the cross
That you'll find ahead

No one will answer
The light is fading away
Captive souls are screaming out in pain

There is no escape
It's the ending of your precious life

Your soul slipped away
It belongs to the Queen of the Reich
You're fading away, No, No, No
The Queen of the Reich
You're slipping away, yeah
The Queen of the Reich 
				

Light tracers follow me farther
Into the depths of unknown
The blackness surrounding the border of hope
We're alone

We plead for the signs of a second chance
In hopes it will stifle the fear
The dying remains of a world gone insane
We are near the end

A course that will lead us through darkness
Prepared by our leaders insist
We mustn't all pray to the shadow of
The iron fist
We enter the void with our eyes straight ahead
The force all around us we feel
The twisted contusions of hatred will finally reveal

Enforcer
Master of nations revealed
Enforcer
The beams from his soul you will feel

Slicing and tearing our way to the gate
A towering fortress of blackened steel
Desolate plains holding dying remains
Heed the call of the master we'll soar to
The edges of time

Light tracers follow me farther
Into the depths of unknown
The blackness surrounding the borders of hope
We're alone
We plead for the signs, give us a second chance
In hopes it will stifle the fear
The battered remains of world gone insane
We are near

Once long ago we had to hide
In the shadows of the land
To keep us away from the crawl
Enforcer's taking hold of us
				

Wings of fire, are sailing past the pint of no return
Blinding eyes, from which it hides the key
Seek to rise, begotten are the fools who'll never know
Force will hide the presence that we see

There's no time to run away
A prophecy will make its stay

Course of rage, a never ending fight for the unknown
To justify the formulated scheme
So we find a gleaming light to lead us far beyond
The closing gates of our society

There's no time to run away
A prophecy will make its stay

 All alone now 
 Except for the memories 
 Of what we had and what we knew 
 Every time I try to leave it behind me 
 I see something that reminds me of you 
 Every night the dreams return to haunt me 
 Your rosary wrapped around your throat 
 I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep 
 I see your face looking back at me 
 Looking back at me 
 And I raise my head and stare 
 Into the eyes of a stranger 
 I've always known that the mirror never lies 
 People always turn away 
 From the eyes of a stranger 
 Afraid to know what 
 Lies behind the stare 
 Is this all that's left 
 Of my life before me 
 Straight jacket memories, sedative highs 
 No happy ending like they've always promised 
 There's got to be something left for me 
 And I raise my head and stare 
 Into the eyes of a stranger 
 I've always known that the mirror never lies 
 People always turn away 
 From the eyes of a stranger 
 Afraid to know what 
 Lies behind the stare  
 [Lies behind my stare] 
 How many times must I live this tragedy 
 How many more lies will they tell me 
 All I want is the same as everyone 
 Why am I here, and for how long 
 And I raise my head and stare 
 Into the eyes of a stranger 
 I've always known that the mirror never lies 
 People always turn away 
 From the eyes of a stranger 
 Afraid to know what 
 Lies behind the stare
