Swallow your fear
The time is near
Leaving what’s known
Entering The Zone
The gates open wide
Nothing but chaos inside
Junkies, mystics, prophets and whores
Everyone rotten to their fucking cores
Lose your money on Credit Drain
Is everyone here totally insane?
Wheel of Misfortune and Laced Aces
Lost in a sea of melting faces

These poor souls
Lost in a sea of chaos
I can reign them in
Absolve your sins
Scanning, detecting movement from afar
Suspicion brings me to the bar
Questions met with the keep’s dead gaze
What a waste
Fools, listen, tremble
Let me save you from you
You are fucked
Journey deeper
To find justice
The path appears
To seal your fate
Get a grip
Remember it
Conquer all
Unplug it
Layers unravel, reality unfolds
Stepping closer to truth
Humans held captive, chained to machines
Their lives displayed on a screen
Manipulating the fabric of man
Overwriting the brain
This is a crime against humanity
A perversion of the species
Can I cure us of this?

Void from within
Back to life
Gone with rage
Lust for loss

Non-operational, it reads
It pulls me in, for I must know
The secrets of The Zone
Clamped down, unable to move
The machine boots up
The walls begin to shift
Images trickle down
Of the horror, guilt and shame
To which I am forever bound
His bloodied face on the screen,
Locks eyes with mine
Look away
The door creaks Trench Coat slithers in
Memory rife with sin
The place where markers begin
Override your brain, erase the pain
You’ll find what you want
To start anew

Framed

Saw you out of the corner of my eye
It’s not fair, I’m not ready to die
Know what you did, you rat bastard, you freak
You’re an easy target, so simply and weak
A life of regret, so empty save for the shame
Give up the charade there’s only you to blame
Every one of your words are dripping with lies
Let go of your fight, accept your demise
Can’t make sense
Of the chatter in my mind
I am lost
Too far gone to find
I can’t see
The truth looking back at me
What does it mean?
I was framed

Where am I, what happened?
Life’s a lie, what is next?
I am lost, what is real?
Aside I’m tossed, but I will win
I found you, now tell me
What to do, show me truth
I won’t be your machine
But you know I already am
Why would you help me?
What’s in it for you?
Can we beat this?
With you I can

Burn It Down
03:46
|

|
A presence inside
Continues to grow
What is this feeling?
It takes control
Eternity passes
In a single motion
Transported away
By this planetary pull
Navigating through galaxies
Interdimensional lifeforce
Eons of time unfold
Before my eyes
I am a god in this realm
Interzone trembles before me
I burn it down

The machine spit him out
Crushed his soul, body and mind
Thought he’d win, but you can’t
There’s no hope for him now
“I was sent to die
Yet here I stand
The savior of this land
Interzone is no more
The scourge that eluded the law
Ruined lives and left society to crumble
Has been decoded and left to rubble
By my own hand”
A passerby gives him some change
And he starts the story
Yet again
