Heavy Yoke

In the shade of half-light We're caught between day and night We are sailing in a time hole Captured minds in free fall A place called nowhere else No coordinates Just a black lake Fed by our fears It draws a cruel line As we move in serpentines For our memories are broken machines Always at war but no one wins Swinging like a pendulum Round and round, back and forth Reaching out for the sea Drifting back to the shore Break my hand, drag me to the other side While you can, tell me it's gonna be alright Break this ban, how can we win this fight Take my hand Drag me to the other side Will our glances collide? Stuck in a constant fight Darkness against light We are sailing in a time hole Captured minds in free fall In the clarity of daylight Reaching for the cloudless sky Push me through your open channel Where no dark can kill the light Let me be your brightest candle Lightening up our nights Lock our fears Draw me near Come and clear Tight frontiers Drag me to the other side Will our glances collide? Stuck in a constant fight Darkness against light

From good to bad, from bad to worse We keep on and on and on with the sabotage From good to bad, from bad to worse We're living proof, fear is a powerful force One mirror, two faces Three spirits floating above (It's all in vain) Burning bridges in this world (It's all the same) Won't protect us from ourselves All in vain Fear, fear is keeping us all apart I'm a liar with the purest heart I'm a traitor you can trust I keep my word like a junkie's promise I Convince every doubting Thomas I'm a saint with a heart of stone Moving in uncanny ways Twine around your body until it breaks You're my chosen puppet I'm an act of God like a storm I pull the strings from above All in vain Fear is keeping us all apart From good to bad, from worse to evil I am a sinner with a heart of none Your oath won't reach me Cause we are too far apart (It's all in vain) We are living proof (It's all the same) Fear is a powerful force

Constant slumber No glimmer of hope Eyelids defying gravity You're staring at the ceiling The loneliest feeling Visions become reality Heavy yoke The truth behind the lies Heavy on your soul Heavy yoke Breaking down under your cross The door creaks open Your heart's about to cave in A shadow flits across the floor Stumbles down the stairs of your soul The moon is waking monsters on your sheet The air is thickening You can hardly breathe Heavy yoke The truth behind the lies Heavy on your soul The pill you take won't ease your pain Heavy on your soul You kissed the lies behind the truth Heavy on your soul Knowing a new morning will bring relief You, you are at peace A spark is blown into a flame Fire sweeps through your vacant heart

I'm tracing the lines on your lower arm Violent constellations, cosmic collisions Faded stars on this map failed to guide you No compass in this world could've saved you You walk a fine line, drawing a riverbed Whoever tries to cross it never returns the same Never forgets your name In every crowd, they see your face Finding the needle in the hay You're tracing my crimes on a moonless night I lay down my guns when you cross my path You walk a fine line, drawing a riverbed Whoever tries to cross it never returns the same Never forgets your name In every crowd, they see your face Finding the needle in the hay

Calm before the storm Who would've thought All it takes is a tiny crack in the wall A gentle kick against the door To shake the status quo Didn't you know A circle doesn't fit in a square When the storm strikes your tower Let it go, overthrow the crown Big ideas will get lost in the ether Yes, I'm a seeker but spare me your answers Keep your voodoo needles and the doll Silence your oracle and all the other frauds Hush your psychic, don't trick me with your seance Thank you, but no thanks Stop shuffling the cards I'm here fighting Fighting my own demons What were you waiting for Calm before the storm Didn't you know A circle doesn't fit in a square When the storm strikes your tower Let it go, overthrow the crown There's no formula Watch me transcending the physical laws Thank you, but no thanks Stop shuffling the cards I'm here fighting Fighting my own demons

I'm miles behind you You make it perfectly clear Lay a guilt trip on me Want me to feed your ambitions We are under a spell A seductive performance Ostentatiously Accompany your poisonous tongue While the smoke from your guns Leave your followers choking The tongue - the weapon To bless and curse Shapes of the past surfacing Returning for judgment The mirror and the light Obscured, contagious Transforming into your image We are under a spell The crowd The crew The clown We are all under a spell Your blind spot thoroughly Kept in its place By hypnotized acolytes

You've been aiming at my land A well-known stranger, poisoned arrows in your hand Shooting at my back Since the very first time we've met My radar sent me danger, green turned into red Programmed to distress The apple and the snake One bite causing earthquakes The lips of a stolen kiss A curse mistaken for bliss Are you ready to kill my dream in a heartbeat? Though I'm shaking like a leaf From head to feet, I'll come after you Like a lioness defending her cub I see the face behind your face Your rotten apple, determined to self-destruct What shall I fear?

Your word is like an echo Chasing me Round and round my orbit Eternally With a sword above my head I walk on broken glass I keep moving to be stable Moving to be free I keep moving, moving to be free Your word is like a torch Blinding me Hands over my face Hiding from your halo Your word is like an echo Chasing me Round and round my orbit No matter how fast I run Your light surrounds me Dropping my hands to glimpse Eternity Though shadows veil my eyes Your light surrounds me Back to the beginning again Drinking eternity

I am treachery I deceive I exploit trust and vulnerability I prey on the naive Perfidious The humble, oblivious - blinded by faith I am blind faith I provide bliss I accept sophistry I frown upon diversity I breed dualism The strong, inexorable - intoxicated by power I am power I corrupt I obnubilate and conceal I despise weakness I breed complacency The weak, abused - injected by fear Uncompromising world of black and white So pleasantly clear to the mind How glorious it is to always be right The absolute truth on your side Gaining the whole world while losing their souls The loyalists falling in line Baptized in a cocktail of iniquitous spiritual praxis I am fear I paralyze I disempower and disparage I am saturated with insecurity and sycophancy I strenuously breed anxiety and shame I betray Serpents with holy intentions Creating God in their own image

(The) sorrow comes So far away from glory Broken, I open up And succumb to you The unsolved love Ascends to the surface - breach Ghosts from the deep haunt my soul Sorrow without a vestige of light Dark Emotions clutching my world (Have I lost my faith from fighting?) Clinging to my very existence

A distant call passes through walls Prepare to fall, fail to prepare A distant call carried by the wind So many miles away from home South to north, coast to coast, celestial path for the lost A body runs ahead of its soul Haunted by an ancient ghost, celestial path for the lost It shakes you, can't break you Arms cut through the water Bleeding out visions, noise, and heat Sinking into a hidden world Into a mystic well flooded with light Floating in between the path for the lost So many miles away from home South to north, coast to coast, celestial path for the lost A body runs ahead of its soul Haunted by an ancient ghost, celestial path for the lost It shakes you, can't break you Swallowed by the streets Paved with promises Follow the distant call Carried by the wind Embracing man

Contemplating your hands for hours Hoping to get some answers from your palms You're your own biggest mystery Unable to read the manual This heart beats too fast In your dreams buildings collapse The dogs bark every night The moon is always full When sharpening your knife When sharpening your knife Standing at the same crossroads You face the same dilemma In the torture chamber of your skull You can't tell right from wrong In the torture chamber of your skull You can't tell right from Open the door to a stranger And find out that the stranger indeed has a knife Indeed has a knife No bread crumbs on the ground How can you find your way? How can you find your way back home? Your words cut like a sword Cry for the ones you love In your sleep you cry for the ones you love
