Man Against
Grinding hard, teeth and nails, cartilage and bone<br/> Tools of lies, hardware of harm, in deafening alarm<br/> The myth machine sent to war, no contents, no core<br/> <br/> I'll admit that I'm a monster<br/> when you realise you're insane<br/> Things have to be this way<br/> all the future and ever after<br/> <br/> The guiding light that leads you can make you blind<br/> A good day is the very day when it burns you<br/> We might be of the same blood, but no aquaintance - no love<br/> <br/> I'll admit that I'm a monster<br/> when you realise you're insane<br/> Things have to be this way<br/> all the future and ever after

You can feel my presence in the dark<br/> Hear my breath and smell the smoke<br/> The glow of a cigarette lights my face<br/> For a second you can see my tears<br/> <br/> Can you feel my fear<br/> Do you wish to pull the trigger<br/> Are laughing inside<br/> When you see me with my head down?<br/> <br/> I am twisting my fingers nervously<br/> but you know I have made my choice<br/> The gun in my hand, it's cold<br/> My whole life is now passing by<br/> <br/> Do you wish to pull the trigger<br/> When you see me with my head down<br/> <br/> You can feel my presence in the night<br/> Now my deed is done and so be it<br/> The gun was the fool to set me free<br/> And nothing can now bring me back<br/> <br/> Are you laughing inside<br/> When you see me with my head down

Slow motion time lapse<br/> A calm race for a spot to roost<br/> Turning around and taking over<br/> a world of a falling angel<br/> <br/> I feel the adrenalin<br/> and it's unexpectedly kicking in<br/> <br/> How life presents itself<br/> Indeed this is an exercise<br/> <br/> I've adapted and I've watched<br/> the development from those subtle sighs<br/> sprung from supposedly innocent genes<br/> goin into another inside<br/> <br/> I feel the adrenalin,<br/> I am standing on the outside looking in<br/> <br/> I feel the adrenalin and it's<br/> unexpectedly kicking in<br/> <br/> How life presents itself<br/> Indeed this is an exercise

Sharpened senses, yet hardened emotions<br/> Running emptied on full tlt with accelerated pulse, yet comfortably blocked<br/> Extraordinary machinery, merciless hangman<br/> Never thins twice of what you've done, but these are not the times for the innocent<br/> <br/> Digging in without emotion - Without a notion - A start-stop motion<br/> <br/> Push further the structures of psychology<br/> Push aside the nature of nature<br/> No limits of thresholds of possibility<br/> No dangers if you just bend, not break<br/> <br/> An intolerable reaction, or a tool of the trade?<br/> Symptoms of overturning nature or scenes from the wrong side of sanity?<br/> Considered development, continued evolution<br/> Fear and nausea erased from our minds as these are not the times for the innocent<br/> <br/> Digging in without emotion - Without a notion - A start-stop motion

Before I'm leaving...<br/> My brief reflections of the black earth<br/> High seas in read<br/> Pounding on coasts in wrecks<br/> No seasons passed<br/> For ages the winter lasted<br/> There was no spring<br/> but a fall<br/> <br/> Exploding sun and fading stars - The tyranny was driven too far<br/> <br/> Fell down behind me<br/> Inside rumblings out of limits<br/> Howling cold winds<br/> in a hollow cold world<br/> Is it suicide<br/> <br/> wishing to be in a vulture's claws?<br/> We can't hide<br/> but we can fall<br/> <br/> And the wolves came<br/> with claws of fire<br/> and burned down<br/> the empire<br/> <br/> There's nothing left<br/> in this scene of tyranny<br/> Is it the world?<br/> Or could it be me?<br/> As I'm striving<br/> everything keeps falling behind me<br/> And if I can't rise<br/> all must fall<br/> <br/> And the wolves came<br/> with claws of fire<br/> and burned down<br/> the empire

I always see in red<br/> Won't explain why<br/> Crawled exhausted on the ground<br/> Buried under all the lies<br/> Stepped slowly through the door<br/> I ask for what I need<br/> Raised my voice againt the answer<br/> Anonymous in reality<br/> <br/> Sat down, thought twice<br/> Between is where I am<br/> Don't ask where or when<br/> Just start over again<br/> <br/> You feel - You'll kneel<br/> <br/> Spurred on by angels<br/> You know what to do<br/> The knife in the kitchen<br/> Push your feelings through<br/> <br/> Silent I unveil the secrets<br/> of what we now behold<br/> Appearing through our bonds of cruelty<br/> this world does now untold<br/> Like an envelope to be split open<br/> Where do you draw the line?<br/> A recycling form of illusion<br/> turned inside and narrow minded<br/> <br/> Sat down, thought twice<br/> Between is where I am<br/> Don't ask where or when<br/> Just start over again<br/> <br/> You feel - You'll kneel<br/> <br/> Spurred on by angels<br/> You know what to do<br/> The knife in the kitchen<br/> Push your feelings through
