1. Wake


Nobodyīs right if everybodyīs wrong
You canīt see white if you wonīt see black
Empty shell, Shallow Skull
Your fight lost, Thereīs no other way
Iīm held back, Wake
Iīm held back, But Iīm awake
The body sleeps as the mind destroys
Iīm not you, Never will
Iīm held back, Wake



2. Sterile Prophet


Donīt use it, if you canīt feel it
Donīt be it, if you donīt see it

In a world, so full of pain
I can barely say your name

Donīt use it, if you canīt feel it
Forgive



3. Circle of Shit


Forget yourself, just donīt respect yourself
Reject yourself, just donīt respect yourself
Feel weak, you just mean nothing
Feel owned, just feel like nothing
Stand Down, show your weak
Stand down, make them smile
Donīt see yourself, just see outside yourself



4. Hunter


Fear for your own survival
You canīt fight what you are
Youīre still running, from yourself
Chorus:
No escape, from your own hell
Fear, Hunter
Inside you, Inside me
You canīt help but be the hunter,
Man the natural born destorye



5. Gift From Heaven


I am nothing, I am love
I am hate, hate my love, love my hate
I am empty, but iīm hopeful
I can see, and iīm fearful
I am nothing, feel like everything
I am scared
empty, empty, empty, empty



6. Amoral


You corrupt, You enslave
Enforced taboos, to the grave
Make me right, to fit your mould
Make me right, like your moral code

You distort, You destroy
You own, You lie
Make us follow, like the sheep we are
Make us follow, we need to believe



7. Angel Domain


All my fears, looking where to hide
All my fears, buried deep inside
Easy for you, your skinīs so tough itīs hard
Easy for you, you only see what you want
Angel by your side
Easy for you, How could you be so weak
Easy for you, Everything looks just fine
Angel by your side
All my fears, looking where to hide
All my fears, theyīll get in you in time
Angel by your side, Angel by your side



8. Kingdom Come


Iīll give you space, as you chain me down
I wonīt let go, but youīll let me fall
Iīll see your way, as you avoid mine
Iīll give in, so you can walk on me
Iīll close my eyes, so you can sew them shut
Iīll keep the faith, or youīll crucify me
If I can believe, then youīll believe in me



9. Time, Death and Wastefulness


How many lies, can people take
How many emotions, can people fake
All there is is time
Be what you are, donīt fucking care
I fail you, you know i do
Iīm just the fool, always the fool
Be what you are, donīt fucking care
Be what you are, I donīt fucking care



10. Frail


Owe yourself, but no one else
Behind your eyes, inside your head
Reach in, but donīt reach out
Iīll come and try, if only in vain
Iīve never watched in shame, Iīve never watched in vain
Donīt ever change no, just stay the same...



11. Almost Heaven


Let me know who I am, Iīm not sure where I am
Let me knw what is left, because Iīm not sure if Iīm here right now
Let me breathe give me air, suffocation is all I know
Canīt do it myself, donīt know how
Never been taught so iīm nothing now
