METAMORPHOSIS Threw myself off the edge of the Universe This angel’s lost her wings; she sure has been cursed Last night we drew from your unlucky deck of cards Tonight we immortalize our dance in the dark Have I become my twisted thoughts? Or is fate the decider of us? Fell hard, got so messed up Had my pretty wings cut Didn’t think I did true harm Life’s just cruel after all Metamorphosis Metamorphing History repeats but for now it will burn I can see this is the point of no return We’re entering a new dimension of horror Enveloped in this chaotic grand order Were you that hungry to belong? Was I that thirsty for a little love? Fell hard, got so messed up Had my pretty wings cut Didn’t think I did true harm Life’s just cruel after all Metamorphosis Metamorphing Mirror mirror on the wall Will I live to erase these scars I can see now the truth is lost Is there any hope at all? Fell hard, got so messed up Had my pretty wings cut Didn’t think I did true harm Life’s just cruel after all

Alienation 04:41
ALIENATION One day I awoke to find myself Lost, in a foreign land I felt as though I was a little Alien Suddenly those monsters with halos Gawked and gazed at my strangely I felt as though they were the ones so Inhumane Here in the divine world of angels I, was an outsider The other girls, always prettier Angels I, an Alien Their piercing blue eyes Sliced right through my soul My green eyes bled white Couldn’t take it anymore They just dug their knives Til I bled out inside Deeper and deeper Carved their names into my soul Alienation An alien nation In a land of so many angels How could there be so much evil Are they the devil in disguise? Deceivers of the bright black sky It’s in the eye of the beholder Even light bends at certain angles The cold-blooded dressed so warm Sheep dressed as wolves No one knew my name No one understood No one cared to ask No they never would

AMERICAN DREAM All the world’s a stage On Sunset Blvd. All the angels wanna play A role in my last song Hollywood glamour Starry-eyed beauty queens Everyone wants to be them ‘Til tabloids scream murder scene Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll Dark, erotic Film-Noir Blonde-haired blue-eyed bombshell Oh that pretty, Femme Fatale Holly Wood’s got a dark side, who will she be tonight? Will she play Ms. Suicide, or will she be the knife? - But - As long as I end up on the silver screen I’ll be livin’ the American Dream As long as I end up in a magazine I’ll be livin’ the American Dream I’ve got ten bucks to my name But it don’t mean a thing I wanna play the game No matter what it takes California Dream I’ve been seduced by you Even if you kill me Under the pale blue moon Baby, it’s not hard Just let those clothes fall We’re a slave to out art Even if it destroys us Do you have to be asleep to believe? The American Dream is not quite what it seems As long as I end up on the silver screen I’ll be livin’ the American Dream As long as I end up in a magazine I’ll be livin’ the American Dream Lights, camera Red white and blue The only thing I’ve become Is black and blue For every shining star There is a sullen grave And every hopeful dream A tragic nightmare If I’m always on the outside, looking in Will I ever get to be, ‘Ms. American Queen?’ As long as I end up on the silver screen I’ll be livin’ the American Dream As long as I end up in a magazine I’ll be livin’ the American Dream Livin’ the American Dream Live fast; don’t fall asleep Livin’ the American Dream Live fast; don’t fall asleep

Grey Matter 04:59
GREY MATTER (Fly) (Hold On) My consciousness encircles this bare space Its tentacles reach your nebulous existence My screams, silenced by the dead of night Is anyone out there, will you listen? On your spaceship, I take a little ride Into the abyss where you reside Down through my ventricles, we go, go, go There in my darkest thoughts, you lie (Let’s go) Traveling though This great disaster I can’t make out It’s all Dark Matter How these matters Ought not matter In my cosmos Of Grey Matter Unrestrained, my innermost hopes and fears Spreading like wild incandescent flames My mind, a deep dark forest set ablaze Nothing can stop me, I’m on my way Falling through cracks of uncertainty Not really sure why this void still exists Eternally questioning your definitive answers In circles I spin til infinity; infinity CHORUS Bon Voyage, my soaring mind In an altered state, I feel most alive Across this deep blue velvet sky Through parallel dimensions we fly Fly Hold On
5.
OCEAN OF GOLD She’s Queen of the Underworld Where the Unknown are Known And the Unseen are so Beautiful Where Darkness is her friend And Light is her foe Here, Truth isn’t wrapped in a Riddle You push me down Then pull me back Circus girl She’s back again Hell is the Heaven you sell Never believe Ever again So you learn to be Blinded by the light Those candy covered lies And if you make believe You’ll be covered from head to toe Swimming in an ocean of gold Running faster Delving deeper I will soar up above Fall from hell Awaken me Don’t tame me I will break free From this spell Seduced by An Ocean of Gold CHORUS
6.
District V 04:16
DISTRICT V Is this paranoia Or is it mind control Are their secrets real I don’t know anymore Who are these imposters Behind those evil plans We must stand against them Never let them rule again No, you can’t label me I wasn’t born to die I won’t be your caged bird I’m programmed to survive You can’t trap me now I was made to survive Gonna’ make it out alive Escape from District V Survival of the fewest Unnatural selection If this is your covert plan I won’t take your injection Modern day oppression A fascist agenda is born Authoritarianism or Totalitarian tip toe Chaos ensues as Lord of the Flies resumes Our civilization Merely an illusion? No, you can’t label me I wasn’t born to die I won’t be your caged bird I’m programmed to survive CHORUS

Interlude 01:33
8.
CYBERGALACTICA She is born To a virtual lie All she’ll be ‘Til it’s time to die Come here you Orphan with no name We’ll take you in To play our game Why you cry You belong to us A drop of blood Forever ours Oooooh I will run from these stars You soulless gods Of Cybergalactica Chaos unfolds Into chains we fall Any moment now One button will destroy us all Please rescue me From this never- ending dream Transhuman beings You’re killing me Oooooh I will run from these stars You soulless gods Of Cybergalactica She travels Through this holograph Frozen in space Like a photograph Locked into A cybernetic world This is all She will ever know

Acirema 05:58
ACIREMA Hypnotize (Acacia phlebophylla) Sensationalize (Atropa belladonna) Anaesthetize (Artemisia absinthium) Materialize (Acirema absurdium) Hypnotize (Acacia phlebophylla) Sensationalize (Atropa belladonna) Anaesthetize (Artemisia absinthium) Rationalize (Your Empire of Lies) Diving head-first into a deep-sea coma Decadence, spreads like carcinoma Take my last breath, that’s the price to pay There’s no room for defiance, you must obey Slowly Disrobe me Leave me bare Slowly Disarm me I will not care (Why don’t you care?) ACIREMA Lost at sea Drowning eternally No home to sail to No one to find you You’ve poisoned me I’ve fallen to my knees Stripped me to my core Spun me in cir-circles Deceive me, I’ll love you Forever entrust you Your heart, your soul Nowhere to be found This place is nothing But a burial ground It knows no bounds You know no bounds It knows no bounds (Yea) You know no bounds Beneath your skin rests a weakened mind Your freedom comes only at a certain price Fables echo through these halls of time Standing before you an Empire of Lies Your lies are all that Are left to resound
10.
Déjà Vu 03:38
DÉJÀ VU I’ve repressed Now there’s a disconnect Between my body and my mind I am losing track of time Backtrack I’m moving parallel Tangled in our entanglement Erase me from your system Space is time Passing the speed of light Bending, warping frequencies Spiraling through galaxies It’s a glitch Our time does not exist Looping holes and shifting poles My soul stuck in binary code Chasing rabbits Déjà vu I’ve lost my head This can’t be true Ruby Slippers Where are you now Take me back home And free my mind Tick tock Race against the clock Our sun is bleeding out Is there a key to unlock this lock I’ve been here before Deceive me no more Perceive what you want Relativity is lost (2) CHORUS
11.
Unraveling 03:22
UNRAVELING Crawling inside my skin There’s a monster therein He lays dormant and waits To strike when I can’t escape Free me from the unknown This nightmare of the day He lurks, haunts and consumes Inside my cells he preys Get me out of my skin I’m unraveling Release the monster within (Free me from him) Get me out of my skin I’m unraveling Save me but Don’t control me Make me happy Impossibility Release me Imprison me Free me Consume me Get me out of my skin I’m unraveling Release the monster within (Within, within) Get me out of my skin I’m unraveling

FALLEN ANGELS You took her away To your secret place Light years away Through the shiny gates We come from the ocean Will we ever live to tell Who is it that built us This grand architect They’re not who you think they are They’re not flesh and blood They have abandoned us –but- They’ll return to take over We are merely tears in rain Grains of time washed away Together we’re alone Insignificant Fallen angels Do you hold the key Fallen angels We do not see I am nothing I am everything I am nothing I am everything I am a part of you You were a part of me I am a part of you You are a part of me Fallen Angel You’ve lost the key Fallen Angel We do not see Take me away To your secret place Light years away I do not fear

Isle of Ice 04:23
ISLE OF ICE The frigid air Makes her bleed She turns to ice And falls asleep She’s traveled to Distant lands Only to return With empty hands I see you now I feel you I can’t go I can’t go Here in my Isle of Ice I can hide Trap time Ooooh Frozen tears Pierce my heart All these years I’ve felt so numb Tört tükörképe Egy lánynak Ki elfelejtette Mi is a bánat I see you now I feel you I can’t go I can’t go Here in my Isle of Ice I can hide Trap time
14.
DOLPHIN SMILE She wears Her dolphin smile Hiding The scars of a frown Permanently Etched on As the Mask of deception Misperceived In others’ eyes Behind her Fortress she hides I am fighting a war in my head I’ve lost signal, can’t make contact The ocean, now painted in red We are, everlastingly trapped She weeps But still feigns a smile Swimming through An ocean of lies The cold-blooded man Has hunted her down She can’t Find her way out As tears of blood Tri-tri-trickle down She only shows you Her dolphin smile Her deceptive smile Is no joker’s lie But one of kindness To fellow mankind CHORUS You Humans Just Barbarians You Humans Still Barbarians I am fighting a war in my head I’ve lost signal, can’t make contact The ocean, now painted in red We are, everlastingly trapped (They hurt you) (They hurt me too)

GLOOMY SUNDAY Sunday is gloomy, My hours are slumberless Dearest the shadows I live with are numberless Little white flowers Will never awaken you Not where the black coach of Sorrow has taken you Angels have no thought Of ever returning you Would they be angry If I thought of joining you? Gloomy Sunday Gloomy is Sunday, With shadows I spend it all My heart and I Have decided to end it all Soon there'll be candles And prayers that are said I know Let them not weep Let them know that I'm glad to go Death is no dream For in death I'm caressin' you With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessin' you Gloomy Sunday Szomorú Vasárnap száz fehér virággal, Vártalak kedvesem templomi imával, Álmokat kergető Vasárnap délelőtt, Bánatom hintaja nélküled visszajött Azóta szomorú mindig a Vasárnap Könny csak az italom kenyerem a bánat... Szomorú Vasárnap Utolsó vasárnap kedvesem gyere el Pap is lesz, koporsó, ravatal, gyászlepel Akkor is virág vár, virág és koporsó Virágos fák alatt, utam az utolsó Nyitva lesz szemem, hogy még egyszer lássalak Ne félj a szememtől, holtan is áldalak... Szomorú Vasárnap
