TERRA AUSTRALIS
Far away it was hidden, but now it's within your reach
Feeling like there’s something wrong, but you choose to carry on
Going forth with no remorse
no caution no hesitation
You’ve gone too far you're compromised
and now you won't be turning back
You ignore the pain and sacrifice it takes in
order to succeed, to survive
Pride will get the best of you
When you reach the sea that’s filled with ice and mist you’ve almost made it
Take a breath of the cold air,
but beware the fate that waits there
Turn around while you still can
in this age of discovery it's not yet fully known
You should have never come here: you won't escape
You will not find the exit, all hope is lost forever
The moon now lights the sea and now you notice that the winds pick up
You hear the sound of breaking wood
As your crew goes overboard
Drowning in the frigid depths
Sinking down into their death
You will be responsible
all the blood is on your hands
Turn around while you still can
in this age of discovery it's not yet fully known
You should have never come here: and now you won't escape
You will not find the exit
Darkness is taking over
I've come undone, it's sad to say
This life of mine will be the death of me
I understand we're not to blame now
Turn around or fade away
Turn around while you still can
in this age of discovery it's not yet fully known
You should have never come here: you won't escape
You will not find the exit and the end is getting closer
Let's sail away tonight
Turn back the hands of time
Let's leave these frozen shores
and tides of endless pain
the sun is setting down
our ship drifts with the breeze
the dream is over now
gone with the raging seas
I've come undone it's sad to say
This life of mine will be the death of me
I understand we're not to blame now
Turn around or fade away

ENDEAVOR INTO THE DARK
One final retrogression and ever into the dark
We sacrifice individuality for the masses unmovable
unless a shepherd's near
It’s happening all around us and each and every day
we’re in a false perception where mediocrity is ok
it's ok
Break free and leave behind this
Copy paste society, there's no variety
We've been dehumanized assimilated
And now they've got us while we're
too weak to fight back
I swear to god I'll end this, but what good would that do?
No one is listening, no one can save you
I swear to god I'll end this: I am the antidote
We are our enemy, but we're our only hope
Denying all of the facts thinking through traditions
A waste of all our skills great and invaluable
We've earned from evolution
Pull the plug and cut the cord
How can we tolerate it any longer?
We'll find out what is fact and fiction
We've spent life with a blindfold on
with the truth right in front of our eyes
I swear to god I'll end this, but what good would that do?
No one is listening, no one can save you
I swear to god I'll end this: I am the antidote
We are our enemy, but we're our only hope
Looking for something that we can't seem to find
Caught in a struggle and with a lack of will
Lost to emotion the truth's so hard to see
Against the current into the dark
Failure it’s what I see and it has spread
It has spread like a virus that’s your life
I’m god now and you’re gone now
Goodbye to your life
I’m god now and you’re gone now
I swear to god I'll end this, but what good would that do?
No one is listening, no one can save you
I swear to god I'll end this: I am the antidote
We are our enemy, but we're our only hope
Looking for something that we will never find
Ending our struggle we take one last breath
No more it's over we are all dying now
Forever condemned into the dark
Virus that’s your life
I’m god now and you’re gone now
Goodbye to your life
I’m god now and you’re gone now

STARS AND SPARKS
Is it best to forget all the nights we spent
Underneath the stars?
We wondered for so long
What our future would hold
We've all made mistakes
We've all held on to memories
Memories best left forgotten
Every time we walk away
Thinking back on all our days
And what just seems to be so right
We can never calculate an answer
To our problems and, I just can't seem to
Let you go!
When we’re sick of our options
Stuck in a stalemate, head on into a brick wall
And I have no answers to what will happen next
Cause when every color fades to gray
There’s nothing left
Love is a disease, simply misunderstood
Addiction is what it is
So it’s hard to turn away
hard to escape, always following
For so long, I’ve struggled
Always trying to keep you happy
At the price of what I want
And look at all it’s done for us
Every time you walk away
Thinking back on all our days
And what just seemed to be so right
I could never calculate an answer
To our problems, yet, I just can't seem to
Let you go!
When we’re sick of our options
Stuck in a stalemate, head on into a brick wall
And I have no answers to what will happen next
Cause when every color fades to gray
There’s nothing left
It's so hard to see, but the truth is right there in front of us
Can't come to terms with the facts
Of what we have and what will never be
To say for certain, what our future holds would be
like not reading the pages of a story
and still thinking the end would set us free
Can’t work out the things that threaten to drive us apart
You’re saying to me I’m so cold
What the fuck did you want? you had everything!
Neither of us can admit defeat
We’re all just living life in loneliness
Although the opposites attract that
spark always flickers and fades away
I’ve tried my best to forget all the time we’d spend
tearing at our hearts
We stumbled for so long and we both know it gets old
We've all made mistakes, mistakes that turned into memories
Memories now left forgotten
Memories left
Every time you walked away thinking back on all our days
And what we knew was just not right
I will never calculate an answer to our problem
Now, I just feel it's time to let you go!
I'm so sick of the options, stuck in a stalemate
Drove ourselves to the edge watch us fall
(There are no answers) And I have no answers
To what happens next
Now there’s nothing left
I will always be there, I will always be there waiting
For that spark to ignite
Burn away pain, light up those empty skies
I will always be there, I will always be there waiting
Set my heart to ignite, You won’t kill what is not dead yet
Is it best to forget?

STANDBY
Pick and choose what the fuck you wanted
From events create your own story
Ignore the signs in your life
Ignore coincidence
We are just prisoners watching
Our lives being run for us
Unable to do anything
To change the system that's in place
Recognize everything around you
Don’t take all that's here for granted
Your life is meaningless
If you don’t try to make an impact
We are just prisoners watching
Our lives being run for us
We must stand and fight back
And stop it all before it’s too late
Build nothing from something
To tear it down and start again
Without the power of knowledge
What is the strength you truly posses?
Ignorance is bliss
So what's the path to greatness?
With no hope and no truth
we’re all just waiting here on standby
Lower the standards now everyone is equal
Weaken our world through accommodation
Watching society decay from the inside
Failure is given a turn
Build nothing from something
To tear it down and start again
Without the power of knowledge
What is the strength you truly posses?
Ignorance is bliss
So what's the path to greatness?
With no hope and no truth
we’re all just waiting here on standby
Does everything happen for a reason?
Does it matter if you try to deny it?
How much time do we all have left here?
And how much more do you want to waste?
We aren’t just prisoners watching
Our cage has broken open
we must stand together to
overthrow this system that’s in place
No more apathy nor indifference
Now is the time to rise
Without the power of knowledge
You are completely fucking useless
so stand your ground and light the torch
and carve a path to greatness
Affect the unaffectable
We all are ready so standby
Bystanders, no standards, everyone take action
united by adversity: ending hypocrisy
Pouring down like rain under a desert storm
Holding back the flood we brace for impact
We brace for impact, brace for impact
We brace for impact, brace!
Hold back the flood
we brace for impact

Equilibrium
03:06
|

EQUILIBRIUM
When all is ending we seek to find a result
In a time of struggle we could fail and come undone
To go towards the call unknown some will only go insane, It will be ever known that it will only bring on pain
The dream so high above while the fall is far below, whispers through the ears of silence
Amidst the drowning the well runs dry
Plunged into the depths of madness
Still searching, always searching
Until we lose control
Still searching keep searching
To find a balance to find the equilibrium
We find equilibrium
To go towards the call unknown some will only go insane, It will be ever known that it will only bring on pain
Seeking freedom seeking the grand escape
To find some questions do not have an answer
Still searching, always searching
Until we lose control
Still searching keep searching
To find a balance to find the equilibrium
Amidst the drowning the well runs dry
Passion is never enough without the strength in numbers, no!
Still searching, always searching
Until we lose control
Still searching keep searching
To find a balance to find the equilibrium
So keep searching keep searching
To find a balance if there ever were to be one

DEAD PHILOSOPHY
There will never again be a place for men like you and me
Everything has now been said we can only speak to deaf ears
Our moment came too late it's all a matter of right time and place
Conquered before we came
We got the short end of the stick
Natural born maybe not, but our experience
is worth much more, it's worth so much more
Hindsight is worthless after the fact
Think of what we could've been
Knowing what we know now
Discover what already is
The end before we began
Thoughts are no longer invented
Philosophy is dead
Discover what already is
The end before we began
Thoughts are no longer invented
Philosophy is dead
There will never again be
A place for men like you and me
Everything has now been said
We can only speak to deaf ears
We had to work for this
While everyone else was spoon fed
There is no place for men like you and me
Nor will there ever be again
No there will never be again
Discover what already is
The end before we began
Thoughts are no longer invented
Philosophy is dead
Discover what already is
The end before we began
Thoughts are no longer invented
Philosophy is dead
How can you tell a wise man from a fool?
Should you count the number of ears listening?
We have always wanted to know the truth and
we will do anything to create it
There will never again be
A place for men like you and me
There will never again be
A place for men like you and me
Everything has now been said
Everything has now been said
Hindsight is worthless after the fact
Think of what we could've been
Knowing what we know now
Discover what already is
The end before we began
Thoughts are no longer invented
Philosophy is dead
Discover what already is
The end before we began
Thoughts are no longer invented
Philosophy is dead
Natural born maybe not
But our experience
is worth much more
it's worth so much more
We had to work for this
While everyone else was spoon fed
There is no place for men like you and me
Nor will there ever be again
No there will never be again
How can you tell a wise man from a fool?
Should you count the number of ears listening?
We have always wanted to know the truth and
we will do anything to create it
How can you tell a wise man from a fool?
Should you count the number of ears listening?
We have always wanted to know the truth and
we will do everything to destroy it

METANOIA
Wait for the answer to come
You will never succeed
And the sickness you breed
Will crumble down
Lost and misplaced for a time
As you change your mind
Recognize truth is now here at last
Look at the state you're in
You can't say anything
You’ve committed yourself
You can't go back on it
You lie to save the embarrassment
Sacrificing the ones who always stood by you
Think on the state of your world
Leave past thoughts behind
In the realm of your narrow
But capable mind
The meaning is lost
In this day and age
To think for oneself
Seems so far away
Look at the state you're in
You can't say anything
You’ve committed yourself
You can't go back on it
You lie to save the embarrassment
Sacrificing the ones who always stood by you
Held tight in this paradise
That has paralyzed (that has paralyzed!)
Any reason that could have been left inside forcing you to think!
Lost and misplaced for a time
As you change your mind
Recognize truth is now here at last
Just look at the state you're in
You can't say anything
You’ve committed yourself
You can't go back on it
You lie to save the embarrassment
Sacrificing the ones who always stood by you
In time you will see your flaws
I can only hope I will be there
Feeling nothing wanting everything
Seeing realization spread across your fucking face

(Y)OUR SAVIOR
So come, admire our savior
Our god, our giver of life
Don’t think or try to understand me
I’m not just like the rest of you
The rest of you!
You try to force me to concede you
I don’t share the same beliefs
On life on death and on earth
My truth surpasses your false faith
I will never be the one
To accept and praise your savior
There is no one true god
None that could ever save us
And in this world I see
No one can understand it
There is no afterlife
Enjoy the nothingness
Open your mind and it will all make sense
To see right through the book
Don't try to lecture me
On your fabricated history
And if you think that I am evil
Then there are no words
That could ever describe you
You're holding back humanity
So come, and let’s praise our false god
Tied down you cannot let go
Of your weakening traditions
Confused your mind tries to fight free
I will never be the one
Without a rational mind
There is no heaven and hell
The only fact is fiction
What would it even take
To give you any doubts
Is it only in death
That you're with open eyes
How is it blasphemy when your god is wrong
And still you follow every fucking word
But I too believe in hell
Because it's all around us
Open your mind and it will all make sense
To see through the book
Don't try to lecture me
On your never ending fantasy
And if you think that I am evil
Then there are no words
That could ever describe you
Your whole life is a lie
So thank god!
So fake, fake what you trust in
Believe and spread your disease
You now know what I stand for
You are just like the rest of them
So smile as I say this
And agree it is your turn
In this world of the unknown
You are the last to learn
No longer predicting
No longer blindly waiting
For everyone to join you
Enjoy the nothingness
Open your mind and it will all make sense
To see right through the book
Don't try to lecture me
On your fabricated history
And if you think that I am evil
Then there are no words
That could ever describe you
You're holding back humanity
When you're on your deathbed I won't be
Able to control my laughter
This is the only life that we will get
So make it count don't fucking waste it
Jesus save us
No(w)!

The 900
We're only waiting here and wishing for a brighter day
Too many cross this path only to watch it turn to dust
One day we would've been stronger but now that's in the past
We're watching wasted days fade away to memories
You prey on the weak you're nothing but a scavenger
How can you sleep at night knowing what you've done to her
You think that you're safe and the world will never know
For every scar you've caused you will be held accountable
Trauma is the punishment she breathes in day by day
No one cares to save her I will have to find a way
A way to end the nightmare still haunting her this time
Open up your eyes and watch her damage end your life tonight
I held your hand and I tried to save you
From drowning in your own blood until there was none left
I held your hand but I could not save you
I felt you slipping away but I could not bring you back
You took her life away and drained her of her heart and soul
Her mind is chaos now her body a total mess
The walls are closing in so pitiful she lays and waits
She's hoping death will come and finally end her pain
As you stole her innocence little did you know
I'd be waiting there for your face to fucking show
You cannot take back what you've done there's no second chance and now
The tables turned, I'm not defenseless let's see you try to stop me
I held your hand and I tried to save you
From drowning in your own blood until there was none left
I held your hand but I could not save you
I felt you slipping away but I could not bring you back
I'm your fucking loss and what you need is what you could've had
I'm your fucking loss and what you need is what you'll never have
I held your hand and I tried to save you
From drowning in your own blood until there was none left
I held your hand but I could not save you
I felt you slipping away and now you're never coming back
I can feel my heart is pounding inside my chest
I will not ever stop I will not ever rest
Til the day you die, I'm watching you hunting you down
The 900 the 900 will be your fight
The 900's coming! The 900's got me!
The 900's coming! The 900's got me!
I can feel my heart is pounding inside my chest
I will not ever stop I will not ever rest
Til the day you die (til the day you die),
I'm watching you hunting you down
The 900, the 900 will end your life

State of Emergency

STATE OF EMERGENCY
Negative and violent peace was never kept
If absolute power corrupts absolutely
Why aren’t we rid of it yet?
Unchecked and unrestrained
Unaccountable we live in fear
The illusion of safety false sense of security
Helpless and self-defenseless
Nothing is left when our rights are gone
One day we will rise to fight your
Tyranny unquestioned we seek retribution
For all your crimes that go unpunished
For all who've suffered at your hands
Causing more harm than good, why would I ever
why would I ever call upon you?
Probable cause probably cause harm
To the same citizens you swore to protect
I find no fucking reason to give you my respect
And when they come for you the warning will be too late
They wrote the laws that protect us and they will... take us away
State of emergency who's here to save you now?
Monopoly on violence we’ll cheer when you’re brought down
Corrupting the innocent destroying the defenseless
The irony that is not lost
That they protect and serve themselves
Until we kill that Mockingbird
We can’t trust the words that we’ve heard
Don’t think that it goes unnoticed
The propaganda that you spread
or the atrocities you commit while
We the people pay your fucking salaries
And then they come for you….
And now they’ve come for you
The warning it was too late
They wrote these laws to destroy us
and now they take us down!
State of emergency no one can save you now

Sleep

SLEEP
Wake up!
It is now you wake up it’s time to make you see
You are the only thing that’s keeping you from living
Sitting back wasting the life that you are given
Is it really all worth it to come up with excuses
Is this ok with you living in such a fashion
In which your only drive is to crave a distraction
From everything around you you fucking coward
It is time to grow up and face your fears now
Fuck you are so useless always waiting for the day
For the chance to make it happen it is your one and only way
To embrace the cycle you’ve made and any day now
You will start to cling to fiction with no hope for a way out
And while you’re doing this you’re becoming just like them
It is horrible to witness the fading of a friend
You’re watching and you’re waiting for something better
Don’t try to fight the feeling to make an effort
Better wake up tonight take it upon yourself
Better wake up tonight people lie awake forever
Better wake up tonight don’t bury it deep inside
Better wake up or you’ll be living a lie and never
Better wake up tonight take it upon yourself
Better wake up tonight people lie awake forever
Better wake up tonight if you want to survive
Better wake up or you’ll be living a lie and never
Sleep
Get out of my life you only hold me back
I just want you gone so I can finally
Sleep is what I want a rest from all the bull
Shit that’s in this world that you just thrive on
Can’t we make a deal No I don’t stop to feel
Regret for treating you with such a realness
I hope that you never find an exit to your lie
Please just step aside so I can get some sleep
Better wake up tonight take it upon yourself
Better wake up tonight people lie awake forever
Better wake up tonight don’t bury it deep inside
Better wake up or you’ll be living a lie and never
Better wake up tonight take it upon yourself
Better wake up tonight people lie awake forever
Better wake up tonight if you want to survive
Better wake up or you’ll be living a lie and never
Sleep!
No, we are not equal I am superior
I have learned to overcome all the challenges I’ve faced
How, can you compare us you are so very wrong
There is no need to convince you that you must find yourself
All alone and on your own the experience will guide you
It is tiresome to watch it the failing of a life
You’re just an endless cycle of instability and
You will get what you deserve absolutely nothing!
Better wake up tonight take it upon yourself
Better wake up tonight people lie awake forever
Better wake up tonight don’t bury it deep inside
Better wake up or you’ll be living a lie and never
Better to sever the ties, the lives, and the dreams that they hide
Better wake up or you’ll be living a lie and never
Don’t just pretend that it’s fine or it will all crumble in time
Better wake up, because there’s nothing but sleep to lose!
Problems do not run no they don’t even hide
They are not afraid of what you won’t do
You will not confront the demons in your world
I know that you are a drain on human
Life is not a game but if it were you’re losing
All you’ve never learned has been a waste of
Time to get a clue for what you never knew
Even when you die you’ll never get to sleep
Sleep!
