The Code Inherited

Do you hate to step into my world? The decay of old values must be stopped! For our beliefs the free spirit must be slaughtered And this time we'll be braver than before With poisoning poetry Let me seduce you Spread the long-forgotten words If you dare to speak and to understand They called me delusionist But now they have to care for me Scream out loud in anger - blind hatred and disdain I simply gathered the wicked and insane Scream out loud in anger - state of constant denial We ravage the land Burn this place to the ground Until nothing remains With poisoning paradigms Let me infiltrate you Spread the long-forgotten words If you dare to speak and to understand They called me delusionist But now they have to care for me

Shake off the devil Don't pay with your life A last embrace and I'll leave the strife I'm lookin' around me And don't like what I see There ain't nothing called in between Sand runs through the opaque hourglass The future is still untold Prepare the inner dream to be unfold Conjuring up images in mind I've been waiting for so long I've absorbed my life You cannot squeeze the life out of me Although nothing is as it should be The transience of all things around us Rushes through my fingers like grains of sand It came without warning I was chasing my dreams When I tripped over reality A shattering prospect Too frail to cross the line I recognized the sign o' the times Wind sounds roar through the hourglass Before the storm suddenly quells Remembering another broken shell I'll stand up and leave my fears behind Bleeding deep inside of me Make your dreams come true 'cos time flies You cannot squeeze the life out of me Although nothing is as it should be The transience of all things around us Rushes through my fingers like grains of sand This moment won't last forever It takes absence to value presence It seems that my hourglass is shaken and I get another chance You cannot squeeze the life out of me Although nothing is as it should be The transience of all things around us Rushes through my fingers like grains of sand

"The inexorable autumn of health which has hitherto remained untreatable produces this constant noise in my memory core" Feelin' sweaty, feelin' cold Disbelieve pretentious verdicts! My journey ends, I'm left alone After all I blame them for the pain again Confound you Preserve me The secret places I have reached Neglected and orphaned ones Gonna keep reaching for the sun Educated twisted tongues Spread profound medical ignorance I seep through my mind As my future is redesigned I have not found the cure yet Many mountains still to climb We cannot always change Everyone who's to blame But you have to know who you wanna be Neglected and orphaned ones Gonna keep reaching for the sun Educated twisted tongues Spread profound medical ignorance I scream out loud, just the truth I cannot bring my thoughts down Demigods in white are now coming for you Neglected and orphaned ones Gonna keep reaching for the sun Educated twisted tongues Spread profound medical ignorance

(Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine...) ...agcagcttct aatttgggta gagcgctcagc... ...human genetic code decrypted... A drone breaks the silence Just before dawn While decoding the DNA sequence A vintage machine Monochrome screen Reveals the secret A code to compile It takes a while Falling to pieces Mathematics & semantic messages concealed The stamp of a mechanized species Embedded in our genes The misery of science Led to mankind's biggest threat The essence of human being Lost in translation of the code inherited My name is Gol The last of my kind I am more dead than alive The rusty pest, wiped out all Diminished and cruelly distorted What we need Our relief Is an ultimate legacy A host and a parasite Bearing the blueprint of our life Once fixed, the code might stay unchanged Over cosmological timescales Made out of flesh, out of blood No metal, no vulnerable parts Endowed with a yearning for progress Without knowing the driving forces behind Reproduction, mechanization Transform into their own creation The misery of science Led to mankind's biggest threat The essence of human being Lost in translation of the code inherited Searching... Queries... Connecting... Spreading... Growing interconnectedness I'll rip the secrets from your flesh To be rebuilt again Then shall come the glorious morn Oil will replace blood Slaves will turn into masters And masters into slaves The misery of science Led to mankind's biggest threat The essence of human being Lost in translation of the code inherited ...the code inherited ...the code inherited ...the code inherited

Day in, day out Plagued by recurrent self-doubts Coping with the past Day in, day out The wounded inner child Needs to be seen, needs to be healed Twined by chords of ancient melodies And by painful memories Feeling like I'm losing grip My previous life is changing Craving now for something new To lose unconscious attitudes But I don't know how to love my weakness On solid ground again, a mind now clear I'll embrace myself for a thousand years A new sense of confidence Is filling my inner space The flame is still burning And wiped away disgrace Accept what you are! If you can't, who will? All the inner changes Unveiled pride once again A progressive transition As a consequence Resurrection and ascension into reality Soak up all of its dimensions The fear has disappeared Now I know how to love my weakness On solid ground again, a mind now clear I'll embrace myself for a thousand years A new sense of confidence Is filling my inner space The flame is still burning And wiped away disgrace Accept what you are! If you can't, who will?

Change your world to embrace me I'll not follow you through anarchy Hate shall be our fate But denial is still not a sin Taking it all for granted Illusion will cause your fall Converging Saints Did cast a shade Our souls couldn't feel more pale Arise, don't petrify again Soaked by tears of thy solace I don't know what to say Maybe it's time to pray? To stop the venoms rush inside our minds Grasping for the one Delusive use of sons Devoted silent lies Converging Saints Did cast a shade Our souls couldn't feel more pale Arise, don't petrify again Soaked by tears of thy solace Dead End signs Lead to most darned places Break the spine, spit in their faces Moving far away from light Be aware, you're hypnotized Converging Saints Did cast a shade Our souls couldn't feel more pale Arise, don't petrify again Soaked by tears of thy solace

Staring through darkest night Where are you? Revealed secrets try to evoke the truth I cannot leave behind the fear and doubt Become detached from it And I don't know how My words fall down Lay down and die I'll leave them behind A sad revealing emptiness It cannot be undone I'm searching for enlightenment But there's nothing I can do Fleeing from a veil of darkness Decisions to be made I forced myself But there's nothing I can do They remain undone Nothing stays the same Where did I go so wrong? A choice to rearrange in silent adoration There's nothing wrong with silence Nothing to feed my lies Now I'm here I'm feeling down Wasting my life away My words fall down Lay down and die I'll leave them behind A sad revealing emptiness It cannot be undone I'm searching for enlightenment But there's nothing I can do Fleeing from a veil of darkness Decisions to be made I forced myself But there's nothing I can do They remain undone

Your dress code from old magazines A lifestyle in a picture book Revelling in afterglows A time you just don't know Your songs had all been written Long before your first fart Feelings can't be born again Those days of endless summer Those days long before your birth Keep your pointless dream alive A dream of endless summer We're older, none the wiser But we walked the road you'll never see Halcyon days of airiness Sugar-coat what you don't feel A milk and honey overdose Picture-perfect souvenirs No clouds, but silver linings Long before your first fart Memories can't be rearranged Those days of endless summer Those days long before your birth Keep your pointless dream alive A dream of endless summer We're older, none the wiser But we walked the road you'll never see In vein with the good ol' days But still open minded Something you'll never be Those days of endless summer Those days long before your birth Keep your pointless dream alive A dream of endless summer We're older, none the wiser But we walked the road you'll never see Those days of endless summer Those days long before your birth We're older, none the wiser But we walked the road you'll never see Those days of endless summer Those days of endless summer Those days in the summer of '89
