(Just) a number, no future (4x) You’re just a number, no future a number, no future (3x) Staring in the mirror to see How my rotten thoughts are slowly eating me Am i just a number, living in an endless blunder (I) Cant see the end of this tunnel What's the future here holding for me Is behind the corner waiting more misery Feeling new age silence, thats spreading like a virus How can i feel different if the world is off-balance Do you feel it in your head? This feels like dying before your death (2x) Dark silence Come take us all and drag us all in your hole This world is rotting within By defections of men We're turning shit into gold by overpassing our souls With open hands we can wait for the great modern silence Descending like a winter fog, hasting to kill us all (2x)

How did we get here? It's a question i ask many times But what awaits us The answer lays before our eyes Passiveness has overgrown Over the life remaining within our soul While we're ignoring or we just don't care The overfed lead us in total despair Drowning in their endless greed Torn apart puppets is all they need Hate and fear is all they seed Behind the curtain history repeats With salience (We can't, we can't) Oppose their violence (We can't, we can't) Hate and fear is all they seed History repeats The answer lays before our eyes To a question asked a million times Open your mind to see Our path is shrouded in suffering Against the current and the wind We'll have to carve our destiny Until the light is all we see (2x) Until the light is all we ever see Until the light is all we see

All the darkness living in my crumbled head From time to time it drains the last drop from my faith The shriling voices lead me back in dread Resisting, but always I can't have the same strenght to bear, from shit we have to eat,  All days while digging our shallow graves Again and again we dig Until we fall in our endless sleep Are we born to die? Or do we die (just) to escape the life? Are we living in the lies? Waiting for the day that never comes? It feels like winter cold, running through my spine No matter what I do, I can't clear my mind Frozen on the edge, starring into the dark Just letting it to suck the life from my blackened heart Tired of waiting in demise For the day that will never come Starring into the dark, Can't feel the withering of my heart. The dark behind me never sleeps, The dark behind me never leaves, (2x) Suffocating me with sadness, Trapt in the total madness I feel it down my spine, this is the end of the line This is the end of the line.

Helpless voices calling out for help It's so sad they're echoes are going in vain Covered in blood, sweat and tears Living life plagued by your fears! Do you feel alive? Are you blind? We are sealing the light for generations to come It's easy pulling strings, deciding Killing us and we must watch it What do you say, why are you doing this to us? Where do we go, what do we do when it's all gone? Chasing dreams in shadows, buried By regrets, I’m slowly burning out! No one will survive the "progress" We're dancing to your repress Shut up, obey, no dreams allowed Get in the line, behave just like everyone else does Shut up, obey, destroy, stop using your mind And leave your memories behind Fake or die, we have become We are suffocating deep inside Hole too deep, now full of greed Don't you run, it's almost done Slowly! Burning everything that we have built! Silence! Must be quiet to the very end! We have lesser power, can't deny it, maybe in your eyes Endless greed has taken over us, we’re drowning in demise Is this your fucking paradise? With your greed our world slowly dies Is this your fucking paradise? Where do we go? What do we do? When it's all done What do we do? Where do we go? What do we do? When it's all done, when it's all gone What do we do? (2x)

H.O.M.E. 03:50
For how long can we pretend until the hourglass runs out of all sand Are we going to pray and just wait for the Saviour to come down from the skies while drying your precious lounges It's almost impossible now to turn all around So we can walk on your sacred ground Maybe we don't deserve you at all But some don't deserve to call you our home. What have we done? So much has already gone But you still keep your open hands No, why can't I help? Am I as guilty as any other men So much has already gone What have we done? Earthquakes, ancient volcanos will erupt Dark clouds with storms will suffocate the light Fire, water levels will rise Dead bodies will rot on the sacred grounds Like a cowards that had nowhere to run Done and overrun by the hand you have given to us We're done and overrun Hourglass has run out of all sand Home. What have we done? So much has already gone But you still keep your open hands No, why can't I help? Am I as guilty as any other men So much has already gone What have we done?

Here it goes The wreckages of the past, crawling from the fog Slowly spreading shivering from growing cold Through the path,of life and death, with blindfold, pages that were written remain untold All that’s left Are written names And tears of rain to wash away the pain Ghosts from past Living in nightmares revealing the pain Turning them insane (2x) The final hour has come Ghosts of the past are no longer haunting their dreams They went from shadows of trees To roots spreading deep Into the mind of wretched lives That were left behind Just to rot, From inside out Their voices couldn't be raised, Because their mouth was full of blood Hear their cries, Their tears don't dry As their last hope slowly dies (3 x) All that’s left Are written names And tears of rain to wash away the pain (3x)

Suffocate the soul within yourself The waking of the damned people leading in hell The silence of the rest wakes the dread-ness in me We are living in the trickery Mesmerized by greed, to blind to see The damage has been done Prepare for misery Are we livestock waiting for slaughter? Together we suffer, till we purge one another Damned people feeding us with rage Releasing evil from cage, so their war can be waged A dying world is filled with hate A world that we all devastate. False shepherds filled with rage Are turning to dark page Brainwashing their lambs To march into bloodshed Where bones are shred Brainwashed lambs (that’s) all they need Now watch them bleed There won’t be no place to hide only the place to rot and die Follow the sacred words carved Into the sacred stones by Those with severed tongues Raised with their broken bones The prophets within your soul are crying in sorrow Doesn't anyone hear the call Follow the guide to humanity's fall The waking of the damned people leading in hell The silence of the rest wakes the dread-ness in me We are living in the trickery Mesmerized by greed, to blind to see The damage has been done Prepare for misery Fucking tragedy! Suffocate the soul within yourself!

Stuck within four walls, Within my skin Encaged within A place where agony begins (here) A hell where i pay for all my sins (I) Can not wait to be reborn I will have to find place where I won't feel you No reason to hide, I want to see the light Devouring my soul, (soul) Feeding on my tears, (tears) For years, years and years, (I am) Drowning in your fears (I) have to find a place where i can't feel your presence near, have to do this before hollow shell is all that remains Whenever you come near To suck the life from my atmosphere Like a big black hole in my galaxy I want to go where life begins (zaključek) They say When the river meets the desert you'll see How bitter is the taste of all this misery Than you will understand, where you want to be where you need to go, if the light is what you seek This is my final fight Heading to the source of it all! And i will never stop Until i see the Light
