The barren trees point to the grey sky
Rotten leaves lay on the ground
The cold winds haunt, it's raining
and it never seems to end
A woman in clothes so thin
wanders the streets alone
Trail of tears in her beautiful face
as she stumbles in fear
A time of inner loneliness
embraced by the darkness
A wish to sleep eternal
in beautiful bright dreams
Candles are burning bright through windows
Doors are closed and locked
Screaming winds consume all heat
Yes, this is the time when everything dies
Gaunted and pale she hallucinates
Dreaming of warm clothes and food
But she was known by none
and forgotten by all
Bewinged creatures gather in the sky
together in search for the light
For these are truly the forgotten lands
Watch the beauty wither and die
A cold moonlit night turned to day
but the warmth in her heart couldn't keep death away
Her mouth open wide as in a silent scream
Her body stiff and numb
Her blue lips never smiled again
On her chin she had crystals of tears
Yes, this is the time when life fades away

Towards purity you strive and you will see
the essence of humanity does not rhyme well
in this machinery
Your emotions
are obstacles for the corporate machine
Your flaws well hidden
A key to success
Soon you are there
excitement turns to apathy
Dreams so far away
Not meant for this state of efficiency
Colleagues turn to numbers
in an equation of stocks
No such thing as friends anymore
just parts in a complex engine
I see your future now
so vividly
Resentment, fear and loneliness I see
An old, bitter man
living in excess
in every aspect but love
A well hidden diminished being
in echoing halls of wealth
Most people see a luxurious palace
and dream of it
I see a mausoleum

The forest bends to greet the raging sky
The howling wind so strong, will it ever die
The trees once stood so tall and strong upon the ground
Now they seem so old, I can hear their cracking sounds
The fury of the winds start to collide
The forest grabs the ground and it's wildlife runs to hide
Through collaboration the force reaches it's peak
Nature's time is here to proove mankind weak
Just like a band the tornado goes on tour
Sweeping landscapes along it's path, hungry for more
Well, let me tell you that the forest is in my head
and this tornado is the autumn-impact, enough said:
Chorus:
Seasons of grey, lead me to colored paths
I am a prey, of the tornadoblast
I've gone astray in a river of dreams

Somewhere in a not so distant future
Storyteller:
Six AM, he wipes the sleep from his eyes
Jack is his name, always in shape, physique so strong
Never or seldom he's sick, past 35, though not a wrinkle in sight
Ex international correspondent, though not scarred of this world
Jack: The forest seems calm, but I hear distant chirping
No human in sight, just me and nature
Futher into the greenery I run
Further away from the rays of sun
My pulse is raising with every step
I feel so alive
I feel that I'm not alone
Was there a black van behind that stone?
The sound of feet are following me
but there's no one in sight
Suddenly I hit the ground
Silhouettes surrounding me
A wet rag in my face
brings me dreamless sleep
I could never believe
could never foresee
this happening to me
Just a piece in a game?
Am I going insane?
What do they want from me?

Jack: Three months have passed without a word
No authorities believe what I've been through
I've been browsing the web for that sign
I don't know what to do
Storyteller: But like everyday he went online
this time surprised of what he'd find
An article involving a scientist
revealing a photo with the sign on his wrist
Jack: That sign!
It says this DNA expert Ruben is missing
and so is his wife Nancy
The US government are desperate to find them
at any cost
Storyteller: Jack gets on a plane to Nevada
Where Ruben and Nancy used to live
Jack: I need to know what that sign stands for
I can't just sit around anymore
He receives an e-mail on the plane
with info from Fredrik Ben
"Rumour has it that in the States
they have found alien DNA
A source of mine confirms a symbiosis
between the US and the swedish military
He wouldn't say what it's all about
since it is highly classified"
Jack: Conspiracytheories.com
tells more than the media want us to know
In Mexico women are currancy
in the hands of the criminal society
which deliver human eggs
for genetic research technology
to a US corporation called "The new dawn"

Ten thousand years ago
We received a message from your galaxy
A message that filled our hearts with joy
A chance to exchange experiences and knowledge
You spoke of a green paradise in the cold dead space
A place where life against all odds did grow
Life sprung from water to pursue a life on land
evolution gave mammals a leading role
[Chorus:]
We did come - we heard your call
But found no life at all
We came to late - was it fate
The rage in you became your fall
A flock of monkeys learned to stand erect
invented tools and weapons to kill and gain respect
You said that much has changed since then
But none of our people ever kill our own men
Your thirst to lead and kill
was the guiding force for your development
This green oasis you called Tellus
destroyed by your need for possessions
[Chorus]
Ten thousand years too late
But lucky not to feel your hate
So many things you could learn from us
You could have lived on...

You all wish that you could leave a trace
Oblivion will devour the human race
A tyrant dies, another tyrant takes the throne
A historic triumph is carved into a stone
Blood is shed to obtain domination
But Death is watching through the eyes of a future king
You all wish that you could leave a trace
Oblivion will devour the human race
The sun will die down - all will be lost
The achievements that you made at any cost
Behold! Your buildings are falling to the ground
Let this be told! Your head is removed without a sound
History repeats itself! Another tyrant claims your throne
Memento mori! Now you are nothing but a pile of bones
The lives you destroyed, the things you did
Was it worth a name in the human history
The life your lived, always watching your back
Paranoid - just waiting for the next attack
[Chorus:]
Dreams of greed will blind you
And know that Death will find you
Though mankind will never see
it's a futile quest for immortality
Your father died and you inherited his business
You feel you have to prove him wrong even in death
You treat your staff like shit, just to make an extra buck
You must be proud of what you have become
You all wish that you could leave a trace
Oblivion will devour the human race
Behold! Your empire is falling, your stocks are worthless
Let this be told! Your failure is documented in the press
History repeats itself! A ruthless businessman takes your place
Memento mori! In the end we'll all become a pile of bones
The lives you destroyed, the things you did
Was it worth a name in the human history
The life your lived, never looking back
Obsessed by proving yourself to your dad
[Chorus:]
Dreams of greed will blind you
And know that Death will find you
Though mankind will never see

Framed, I see red, blood of innocence I've shed
And it is my love who's bleeding
Hate, all I feel, signs of truth must be revieled
as I wake up from the spell
Fear inside me, and my future bride impaled
by mistake, my eyes were spellbound
Enemies around me, my fall they wish to see
I have to make this undone
Now I must find, a wizard strong and kind
to help me travel back in time
My servant has to come, I cannot go alone
together we shall defy evil
The Wizard has a key to the corridoors of time
a strange mix of fluids he'll create
For my eyes but to see, a great mystery
will I ever see my bride in life
Chorus:
Will I ever see this place again
Will I ever feel her lovely touch
Is the last thing I'll see in this life

There is something in my head
I see glimpses of it everywhere I turn
Recently it has grown stronger
forbidding me to feel at ease
It appears as twisted faces
on every reflecting surface
Sometimes it freezes the world
and everyone but me
And it calls for me at night
with voices of people that I since long left behind
In another life
In another town
In reoccurring dreams
it wants me to live it and feel it
over and over again
Things I've suppressed with time
The Darkness in the Corner of my Eyes
blocks out the sunlight in my life
The Darkness in the Corner of my Eyes
will never let me forget the things I did
I fear the shadows behind me
Driving faster on the road to madness
I cannot even relax when I'm drunk
and it's been long since I responded to pills
In reoccurring dreams
it wants me to live it and feel it
over and over again
Things I've suppressed with time
Staring down from the edge of a building
knowing that I created this monster
One free fall to end it all

A lifetime I have spent
watching over them
And I have seen them devolve
You'd think that they would learn
but truth be told...
They are truly a lower form of beasts
They will stop at nothing until they are pleased
Emotions won't affect their intellect,
a bloodtrail spatters all that's pure
They would walk through fire
just to satisfy their greed
They would betray their own kind
to fulfil their own twisted needs
The beast called man
I spent a lifetime trying
to find beauty within man
You'd think that I would learn
but truth be told...
They are the hungriest form of beasts
They will stop at nothing to pursuit their beliefs
Emotions won't affect their intellect,
a bloodtrail spatters all that's pure
We would walk through lava
just to satisfy our greed
We would betray our own kind
to fulfil our twisted needs
The beast called man
This is why my family died
This is why my childhood ended
To this day I can't deny
we'd all be better off dead
We are
the Beast called man
We are
the Beast called man

Forged in wrath
grown for years
bottomless dweller on all of your fears
Burns you with images
lost from the past
Seems your nightmare caught you at last
One look at it's surface
cuts you deep
Emptiness, loneliness, images steep
All you can feel is profound shame
Is it your own fault
the cause of this pain
Chorus:
How could he do this
did he see your face
I wish you could turn back time

Never before have I come so near
naked before the purest fear
Screaming out all the pain inside
Seeing all but never felt so blind
Bleeding from wounds unknown
smile to the world for I've never shown
the weaknesses that infest my soul
my splintered mind seaching for a goal
Deceiving myself with impure dreams
spitting the goddess in her eyes
kneeling before my own lust
as the last human spot in me dies
Solo: Patrik
Chorus:
I will be released again
the clouds that block my sight
will appear as transparent

Awaiting the storm
this time it's coming for me
Diving into myself
once again I deny the signs I see
Guilt staring through me
Shadows lurking in my soul
Mirror reflections twisted
silence my only comfort
Rumbling outside
Shattered windows fall
to the ground like tears from the sky
and something whispers my name
Chorus:
I cannot sit and watch
as the world dies
Shadows are taking over

Perfect night, perfect life
I have been reborn
What once was my sorrow
have become my joy
Fall is descending
leaves are shivering
A scent of winter
riding on the wind
Chorus:
All the things I never did
The words I never spoke
They all died within me
left the fire as smoke
Solo: Mac
All the words that used to break me
slowly start to rust
The staring eyes of my enemies
turning into dust
Looking into the fire
Inhaling the thick smoke
makes me feel more than alive
I never liked your goddamned jokes
They'll never find your body
Fire leaves no trace
I will spread your ashes

"You know I worked for a top secret government unit.
It's true that we found alien DNA.
The goal was to create the perfect soldier by
mixing the supreme genes of mankind with the strong,
but unpredictible alien DNA.
When I learned about the sideeffects I wanted out.
When you read this letter
I'm most likely dead
The things I'll regret most
are the things I never said
They're already among us
appearing as human beings
They may take our planet
but they can never take our dreams
So I wrote this letter
to make sure that you would flee
With the information I know of
it's not safe to be around me
I should've never accepted this job
now I'm in too far, too deep
They are too powerful
and mankind is too weak
Remember me dear, please don't forget
Don't let my memory fade
Maybe we'll meet in a better place
somewhere far from today
Some say our actions echo through time
Mine will echo through eternity
I hope some day mankind will understand

Water
covering me
Reflections
below the surface
Just a few more breaths
to become one with the stream
I have fulfilled most of my dreams
by the measurements of society
Though the longing has always been stronger
than the final outcome
They all say this should be enough
But my spirit is longing for something else
The spark of life is fading
Could I find release if I turn away?
[Chorus:]
This is the end
I have given all I can
but I am through, my friend
The love we both feel
could never be a reason
to stay alive for me
All of my life I've struggled to fill this void
But it keeps eating and tearing
Life's colors are fading away
slowly to be replaced by nothingness
Today I feel like something has changed
A feeling of determination slowly taking form
A sudden urge to watch the sea
I can feel it calling and I'm longing
I want it to consume me
Take my body away
Release me from these chains of life
In oblivion I am free
I take one step into the sea
It chills me and satisfies me at the same time
I walk further out
The water caresses my neck
This is the end
I have given all I can
but I am through, my friend
The love we both feel
could never be a reason
to stay alive for me
All of my life I've struggled to fill this void
But it keeps eating and tearing
Life's colors are fading away
slowly to be replaced by nothingness
I just keep walking further and further
My head is all below the surface
Your face seems so clear to me
I walk towards your smile
I inhale, and close my eyes, I hear your laughter
and float away into the stream
Soon I'll cross the border between life and eternity
and I feel happy for the first time in years
Water
covering me
Reflections
below the surface
Just a few more breaths

Lost in the autumnbreeze
my soul want's to leave this shell
Suck me up
Let me go
Longing for the unknown
an inner journey's taking place
I hear you voice
but not your words
Chorus:
For all the things I couldn't be
For all the times I didn't see
Im' sorry
For all the times I dreamt away
For all the times I didn't stay
I'm sorry
Confronting my emptiness
Don't know why I feel this way
but I am restless
and low
Sometimes I need some space to think
Sometimes these walls are choking me
I love this place

Jack:
I feel like I'm waking up from a bad dream,
but as time goes by I realise I'm still in it.
Storyteller:
Jack gets up from the ground
the sun annoys his eyes
He remembers a strange sign
on the suits of the perpetrators
Jack: I see tiretracks from a big car
It must have been that black van
The firearms I saw
are exclusively used by the swedish military
Storyteller:
So he calls his childhood friend
Swedish General Fredrik Ben
Jack: ...did you write all down?
Please hear with your contacts around
Fredrik: I've heard rumours on the base
Something weird is taking place
I will lay low but I'll look around
Tell the cops what you've found
Storyteller: Jack finds a stingmark at the end of his spine
Jack:I do not see what they would want from me, Am I blind?
Am I BLIND?

Welcome to the century
where mankind lost it's honesty
Metallic, cosmetique technology
Identity, fashion travesty
Neon light that blinds the eye
stress, anxiety to keep you high
Work your way up to the top
never look back to see what you have lost
Yes this is the place and time...
... where people live in dreams
This is where humans work to death
and spend their lives in dreams
In reality they'll never find
happiness it seems
Have they forgotten to connect in life
just hiding behind screens
Choking life out of fantasies
Have they forgotten what it means to live
Solo: Patrik
Solo: Mac
Keep on hiding from yourself
and you will face the fact
that you spend your days dreaming
to avoid human contact
Can't you see what's in front of you
you miss an whole world out there
So cheers my friend, now drain the glass

Ages ago in the deepest forest
I sold my soul to Satan
Boiling pure of hate within
to spread my guilt stained with sin
This life brought me nothing but pain
I wish to repay
Infect the world with the sorrow I felt
as I was cast into life without choice
I will not find peace in life or death
Forever I haunt you mortal souls
Crystals of tears fall from my eyes
when I think of the life I left behind
Eternal sleep won't reach me here
Floating soulless over the boundaries of death
Blue mist covering my path

Jack:
So now I'm back in the States
It's been long since I called it my home
I want to see where Ruben and Nancy lived
but it feels weird to go there alone
2115 Pearl Rose Street
This is where they used to live
There's something fishy about their disappearance
there has to be more to this
I have to find
the truth that's behind
Can't satisfy the demon
that tears me apart from (inside)
inside of my mind
questions they blind me
I cannot relax till
one of their bodies are found
At least one of them must be alive
I'm so exhausted now
I feel death breathing down my neck
I feel as if I'm being watched,
feeling lost somehow
Storyteller:
Jack got out of the cab
at the end of Pearl Rose street
Ha walked by the scientist's house
discreetly to get a peak
The front door was kicked in
Quickly he sneaked inside
Drawers and desks turned upside down
signs of a struggle left behind
Jack observes a box
with a double bottom
He cracks it open
