Still, the surface is still 
The calm before the storm 
The reason you still live 
Is deep within me 

Touch, taste, breath, live 
Emerging in your nothingness 

Breathing till your deaf, fear inside my head 
Moving all your feelings, outside your scope 
Ignorant to survive, Happiness inside 
Mindless self-numbing, outside control 

Detach yourself from reality, that is your only freedom 
Stronger feelings waiting, to take away her reason 

Cause you're nothing any-more 

Step back, Decline / Unwind, Discourse 
Upbeat, Quiet / Softly, Judgement 
Pull back, Hold on / Step Back, Breath In 
Calm Down, Timing / Thinking, Downward 

Awake we're suffering ? 
Do you see me! 

Do you question your emptiness? 
I wish you'd been made of glass 
Doubt it, faster, cuts it, deeper 
Maybe you'd be human then 

Now rest, Sleep well 
Never ending, silence 

Still, the surface is still 
The calm before the storm 
The reason you still live 

Is Deep, Deep With Me 

Still, Still 
The surface is still 

The calm, the calm 
The calm before the storm 

Still, still 
(And then it breaks through the surface) 
The surface is still 

The calm, the calm 
(Haunting me still) 
The calm before the storm 

Still, still 
(My life is filling with purpose) 
The surface is still

Waiting For The Water

Don’t you threat 
It’s time to realise 
That we’ve now...got 

So much more to die for! 
(So, So much more 
So much more to die for!) 

Don’t you let go 
So you give in 
Make this through now 
Grasp on tightly 

You’re not perfect 
But no one is now 
I've been foolish 
To see right through you 
Weather the storm 
Winds howl softly 

When are you humble? 
When are you defeated? 
When are you lustful? 
Grasp at your chance 
(Baron!) 

Upping my threshold 
My pace beats quickly 
One, two, dive, through 
My dosage of thrill 
(Archduke!) 

As much as we think we’re alone 
(I Stand Here) 
We have each other again 
(I am on my own) 
But as long as we stick together 
Forever like two doves in chains 
(Forever Chains) 

Rip out your spine 
Devour your thought 
Helpless and vulnerable 
Hell's what you've sought 

The depths of the darkness 
Scared of the shade 
Destroying your image 
I've been betrayed 

You’re not perfect 
But no one is now 
I've been foolish 
To see right through you 
Weather the storm 
Winds howl softly 

I am victimised 
I struggle with the victims 
In my shell I'm beaten 
Bleeding ego rotting 

Poisoning me from the inside 
Will you ever understand 

Make you bleed out for atonement 
First I’ll make you doubt the sky 
In the wardrobe you'll be hidden 
Wishing you could climb so high

The Baron and the Archduke Need a Hobby

Why am I so alone? 
Lost in this abyss of sorrow 
Trying to find a way out 
To live in harmony 

I've forgotten how to live 
All I do is think of past mistakes 
I want to rip my memories from my skull 
All the times you made me want to die 

The only way out is to go to the edge 
Push my senses to destruction 

Send me to the battleground 
With nothing but a dagger 
Give my enemy a gun 
Watch him take me out 

Shoot me in the limbs 
Drag my corpse through the mud 
Skin me alive, leave nothing to waste 
Feeding the crows is all that I crave 

Maybe then I'll value my life 
When I look into my mothers eyes 

And tell her I survived, I'm alive 
She'll see my broken body and smile 
Feeling fear 

You dirty fucking pig! 

My conscience is dead 
animal instinct and ruin remain 

I found myself 
Hail me now 
Within, without 
Asleep 
(Finish yourself, In darkness) 

I started questioning myself 
The more I was ignored 
The more I craved recognition 
Constantly raped by my own torment 
We want what we can't have 
Now the rumours are fact 
Clearer than the day 
Greyer than the clouds 

We want what we can't have 
Now the rumours are fact 
Clearer than the day 
Greyer than the clouds 

Finish yourself 
on the pigs 
As your mind breaks you 
And the battle takes you 

Finish yourself 
Broken bliss 
I hoped to make it through 
This sense I thought I knew 

Hail me 
Hail me 
Within 
Without 

My heart dies!

Abyss (Hail Me Now, Within, Without)

Circling, circling, circling
The watchers are circling
To see the progress 
of the human race

Above the tower
Above smoke and thunder
The fat cats watch 
As their workers fade 

I've felt the drama
There are no saviours
They've used their choice
To live among the slaves

And as the crisis approaches 
I start to tremble 
There is no safety 
As corruptions unearthed 

And as my bones start to melt
I wished they'd listened
It's been foretold 
For the last thousand years

(And I'd sit there smiling with my footprint down your fucking throat)

And as we still compete
The ending is the same
But this time it is death
Greed is not to blame 

Do we prolong power?
And bite the hand that feeds
Shall we keep them in their tower?
Denying them their needs

THE CRISIS!
APPROACHES! 

(Keeping us divided, separating us based on false dichotomies)
(We envy our fellow man loosing the ability to see the bigger picture)
(Humanity is incapable of creating a better world)

Circling, circling, circling
The watchers are circling
To see the progress 
of the human race

Above the tower
Above smoke and thunder
The fat cats watch 
As their workers fade 

Welcome to the new!
Welcome to the new consensus!

Wealth amongst the few!
Survival as the crowd dispenses!
