Figure number five
Rejection Role
I'm the result of an ageless redemption a body with a heartless convention a face with a smile that's been shut down for years facing the facts of my generation...cause I'm a sinner, a winner, my blood is getting thinner I might as well get another life cause I've been there I know what's been said and I know what's been done don't you tell me I'm the only one, cause I...
Chorus: I will be there looking for something Coming straight out of nothing, just killing time Facing those walls so black, so vile I really am waiting for nothing Coming straight out of something, just killing time Facing those walls so black, so vile
Now put your trust in a solid machine Filled with words that have never been seen A plague to insatiable souls left to die Charged with mankind's raw energy I rumble, I stumble My memory starts to crumble I can't refuse what's haunting my dreams Have I stumbled? On my way to a created perfection I penetrate the gates of rejection
There's no determination, echoes of a failed gallery There's yet extermination, inside us all screaming
Overload
Still I'm spreading my disease You'll work it out this time Hell no, I won't retreat Two times won't make it happen Three times won't make it go Overcome, make it run I insist to make it flow
Now I'm chasing what I've learned You won't be blind this time Getting back what they have burned Two times won't make it happen Three times won't mage it go Overload, still it grows I resist and make it flow
Chorus: Trusting the ways of my vulnerable heart A million times before I get things right. So fragile it hurts when I just fall apart.
Your search for dreams may falter Paying back won't make it turn Four times won't make it happen Five times won't make it go Overrule, from a tool that brings me everlasting pain
Those thoughts are ruling my valuable time In search for shelter I draw the lines Won't you give me another break to examine my growing and countless mistakes
Figure Number Five
Tell it to me now, close your eyes cause they don't feel a fucking thing You gotta memorize what you felt when you lost your wings Your line is mesmerized, condition's paralyzed Your chance to live is emphasized Nor a truth nor a lie
Burn your flag, figure The disciples of God want you to die
Chorus: Figure Number Five Caught in the hands of a human lie Figure, Figure Number Five Give it up, never stop till he hits the ground Figure Number Five The fifth wheel in a cynical time Figure, Figure Number Five They won't stop, they won't stop 'til he hits the ground
Their eyes are shut side by side and you can't do a single thing they will cease their time passing by sucking blood out of kings
It's such a drag, I can't do nothing always there I feel my welfare's burning...
Strangler
I feel it coming, my thoughts are running Cause I can't do nothing about it I'm turning, turning away from filth on my journey, stepping aside from the breed that is burning How did you get so unbearably stupid How did you get your demons to rest One final option, a senseless adoption of a self-made confidence
Chorus: Bow, to get rid of this Bow, another fear to kiss Bow, this is my soulful departure Walk the lifeline with no regrets Wasting it all on what you cannot get Forever painful and so goddamn deranged Make no difference don't make a sound Make your choice out of what you've found Forever painful and so goddamn deranged
Cause I might as well choke Listen to the sound cause I can't do nothing about it Another round of their hysterical laughter Plaguing my ears, causing my tears
Let's give another hail to the ones that finally failed Holding on to the trust 'til the very end facing their very last stand
Light the Torch
Claiming he's an innocent soul Son of a silent force Under pressure but all so cold I better light the torch Cause he's able to do it again degrade and suffocate Getting the useful support from his passive friends
How can you just proceed you little callous fuck You just walk the streets like a not knowing breed
Chorus: Give me a sign and I'll do just what I'm thinking right away How can she ever forget, so suffer and start to regret It will come around cause you know that she'll be thinking of you... I feel so powerless. Can't face my hollowness
You've had your time. Gonna walk that line Like a living travesty, endlessly bound to your sins. I'll hunt you down in time. You're just a feeble swine How can I compromise when all you do is deny
This pain will last forever, never growing old Nobody will ever answer, how you can be so cold
Departure Plan
You're taking care of your instincts No matter what you do Your life could be so much better when everything is through The demons that refused to let you go They left with empty hands You got to give it a try Don't put an end to your life Cause that's where you choke your last sigh
Chorus: You gotta rise with me! Cause you're so vulnerable... Me! No need for sympathy now... Yet so admirable... Say...
Your passion for art is your well hidden cure Cause that's where you have a plan Escaping could be such a movement now In your fragile heart all so true
... You'll never ever hurt yourself again!
Cranking the Sirens
Underneath the surface he's bound to be back for more Keep your eye on the trigger man His hands are shaky, trying to find the score Well, I see you have another friend to drag down the hall Watch him bleed on this freakshow Monday Watch him crank the sirens tearing up his soul
Chorus: And there it goes he's so close to a remedy A painful host of his time And he'll never show to the world how his life's supposed to be Drenched by the dark in his mind
Now there's nothing but silence surrounding him Providing the contents of his unique Misanthropical friend. Well (won't you tell) If there's ever gonna be a state for your well-hidden art Watch him breed on this freakshow Monday Watch him crank the sirens tearing up his soul
He believes in silence He believes that this is the end He can't hear the sirens cause silence is the greatest sleep of them all
Brickwalker
Brickwalker won't you cease your time Instead of ruin daily lives Against the grain they stand Against the grain they fall Paint them a picture of their fate Face their fearless looks so pale It's so goddamn beautiful...
You've already put your hands on their fate Your mind is clear and your speech is free Your doors are shut and they won't see With your cynic presence they'll shiver 'til the break of dawn
Come on, come on, come on They're so expendable
Chorus: We're all so fatal, we're all too able we'd like to have a break... SAY We're all so tragic, illogical magic we'd like to turn the page... SAY
So, watch them cross the yard of time Do not fail don't cross that line Inside, they will leave tonight Vanish through the sky
Don't throw the page. Don't throw it all away! Gotta turn the page. Just lead thy pain astray!
The Mindmaker
Who dares to care when affection's all we need Who dares to bare what the others have to feel I put my trust in a prominent machine Feel no pain and don't you dare to make a scene
The search for truth's just moving' on everybody wants a piece, denying the sound of their restless song Keep your eye on where you've gone I don't think that you belong. Escaping reality won't set your judgement free. Who'll hide to find the ultimate belief Who'll ride the kind of perpetual disease I thought that still every breath I take is free I was so wrong they'll make a profit out of me
Chorus: When you've lost your power You drag yourself down In times like these. You are here to devour Now you feel so numb.
"God I feel so numb!!!"
So! eternal Cold! infernal So! dispersal. One more time. So! eternal Cold! infernal So! dispersal. It rules your mind
Distortion Sleep
In my town where the system sleeps Nobody gives a damn It's up to you how to hide to flee Their hunger never ends Hateful design builds the structure divine A territory cold as ice An endless empire with cynic desire Born of a broken spell
Chorus: Feeling like a guttersnipe standing in line Deciding his lifestyle by rolling the dice One will stand another will fall down Find your way out from the constant lack (2X)
You gotta get yourself a picture of what is going on Cause their lips are sealed now Their honesty never to be found Hateful design builds the structure divine A territory cold as ice An endless empire with cynic desire Born of a broken spell
Your pride is just a symbol another hidden excuse for being such a savior distorting your sick self abuse
Downfall 24
I bet you've had another downfall It's time for me to get it right You're taking it (5X) too hard Don't hesitate to paint your walls with blood It's in me it's in you, don't you hold back the truth Cause I can't feel nothing without a confession from you
We couldn't go on like this you know We shared a moment that refused to grow
Chorus: Cause I know we meant to never be afraid but I knew: impossible... We made our visions look like something that would stay So it's true we closed the deal...
I said to you don't make it worse not It's time for you to make it right I let you rule my world back then you know I was blind, couldn't find I was blind, couldn't find the true essence of our lifetime without a confession from you
You're saying to me: How could you do such a thing Cause I've paid, every mistake building a void impossible to replace
