Phlebotomized Clouds of Confusion 1. Bury My Heart Can you bury your heart? What darkness is waiting inside? A terrifying abyss into this realm.

Alternate Universe It is never goodbye Nothing is ever really gone As long as we remember… just remember Eyes will be opened Choices determine fate Cloud 3: Alternate Universe Deceived by an alternate universe Experiencing two lives at once An inconceivable ordeal With no resemblance yet (before me) Encouragement to heal Insight into what will come It will not take freedom Rather expand the parameter Eyes will be opened Choices determine fate Cloud 4: Are You Ready? Ignite the flames in a suicide mission An assault carried out on the old me Brutal months without it Debris all over the place Still in sight the result in an alternate state of be Still in sight the result in an alternate state of be Are you ready to feel the pain? Are you ready to feel the same? Are you ready to play this game? Are you ready to break this chain?' Cloud 5: Proper Course of Action Try to make contact with what is left By enhancing images of what used to be Not able to accomplish contact There is not much left to see… No logical progression to the target No consistency of method Quarrel amongst themselves Indiscriminate of its nature The collective aim seems clear To compete for dominance Do not subscribe to these ideals But yet the two understand each other The resemblance is remarkable The solution is at hand Please send me home! Please send me home! Are you ready to feel the pain? Are you ready to feel the same? Are you ready to play this game? Are you ready to break this chain?' Are you ready? 3. Lachrimae 4. Desolate Wasteland To reincarnate from this desolate wasteland is perceived When the darkness is understood Remain unconvinced though by regret Do not regret loving someone Who knows what we'll do when the heart is concerned? Reclaiming life is relentless and solitary Not easy letting one go. Imminently mourning about a lost life Destroyed by everything believed in Shaped by environment 5. Destined to Be Killed Irreversible contamination by impalpable manipulation Life as we know it will cease to exist Trapped in a network beginning to deteriorate, build on childish idealism A social experiment doomed to failure in which every choice, opinion, species are not equal The strong and capable will rise is what the network want us to believe A duty to lead, offering: power, a future, gifts surpassing others The tipping point is, however: We are responsible for our own path We all are and therefore victory feels empty when it is attained by abused idealism, incinerate by deceit A claim to the throne in exchange for thy soul, one part doomed to failure The strong and capable will rise is what the network want us to believe A duty to lead, offering: power, a future, gifts surpassing others Destined… Destined to be killed… Destined… Destined to be killed… One part… Destined… Destined to be killed… One part… Destined to be killed… 6. Pillar of Fire Pillar of fire, beacon in days of distress Hallucination? No coincidence Pillar of fire, beacon in days of distress Hallucination? No coincidence. No coincidence No coincidence No coincidence It carries some implications A form, covering above Not a divine property A revelation at the very least? A bigger context altering perspectives As long as we do not understand A bigger context altering perspectives As long as we do not understand To serve one goal, the other needs to be sacrificed Choices determine fate. In what do we believe? To live with doubt or with nothing at all Converted to energy of its own to explore Not to intervene but to flow To find conformation in feeling it all It will find its way. Not lost anymore Want to go back, want to have faith But in its absence, what remains? An invigorating ride? The universe never lets anything go to waste The odds, transcend or decompose Reassembled in a different way Reconstituted to keep the life cycle progressive To be put together, divided by steps. Not festering for eternity but by reclaiming life With respect for everything… endlessly Though the monster is killed by moments of lucidity Moving back and forth between two worlds Still, nothing is really ever gone, And the heart? The heart needs to endure it drop by drop. A bigger context altering perspectives As long as we do not understand A bigger context altering perspectives As long as we do not understand And the heart needs to endure it And the heart needs to endure it And the heart needs to endure it And the heart needs to endure it Drop by drop, drop by drop Drop by drop, drop by drop Drop by drop, drop by drop Drop by drop, drop by drop 7. Bury My Heart Reprise Can you bury your heart? What darkness is waiting inside? A terrifying abyss into this realm Clouds of confusion will bring us back Not an illusion, clouds of confusion. Can you bury your heart? Can you bury your heart? Can you bury your heart? Heart! 8. Death Will Hunt You Down Enduring something no one thought possible can be transformative In a diametrically opposing manner we'll find each other in the middle Like Cepheids, we endeavour after immortality The secrets of existence', leaving something behind To perceive the essence in the reciprocal reflection of finite and infinite In fear of being yesterday's favourite, in search of a distinctive voice Like Cepheids, we endeavour after immortality The secrets of existence', leaving someone behind Burn, burn, burn to see it all laid to waste Burn, burn, burn to see it drown… Death will hunt you! Death will hunt you down… Battered and broken, battered and broken Like Cepheids, we endeavour after immortality The secrets of existence, leaving the world behind Burn, burn, burn to see it all laid to waste Burn, burn, burn to see it drown… Death will hunt you! Death will hunt you down… 9. A Unity Your Messiah Pre Claimed? Insinuations Mentally constructed Empathy deficits Never ending lies! I may be the one wearing a mask, but I can see through yours just as clearly I may be the one wearing a mask… Trying to hide of what you are Trying to mislead it all The decision was made Do not try to blame everyone For the actions you have committed There is no turning back! You cannot return You have chosen this way of life. Mislead, concealment of evil You have seen it all Monstrosity, you closed your eyes In the name of what you call a religion Do not try to blame others lives For the morbid decisions you have made Morality, it is all a facade There is no turning back! A unity your Messiah pre claimed? A unity your Messiah pre claimed? A unity your Messiah pre claimed? Mentally constructed The peace was short-lived Insalubrious to the environment Impenetrable, impassible, disconnected Disconnected, disconnected Mentally abducted The peace was short-lived Insalubrious to the environment Impenetrable, impassible, disconnected A unity your Messiah pre claimed? A unity your Messiah pre claimed? A unity your Messiah pre claimed? It's a test case, tighten the noose It's a test phase, divided once again I may be the one wearing a mask I may be the one wearing a mask I may be the one wearing a mask But I can see through yours just as clearly! Just as clearly… Just as clearly… 10. Dawn of Simplicity Dawn of simplicity Within my faculty To finally feel so free One's newborn reality Sitting here with all these frustrations It's getting dark, feel the vibrations Of a dangerous mind longing for freedom Oh my God, why can't it be Just easy for me Just easy to be Just easy to see? Just be, nothing else, more free. Dawn of simplicity One's eerie reality Just be, nothing else, more free Just be, nothing else, more free More free Waiting here with all these expectations Not getting any further, no realisations of goals I want to achieve Temptations were offered to me, why can't it be- Just easy for me Just easy to be Just easy to see? Dawn of simplicity Within my faculty To finally feel so free Ones conceived reality Dawn of simplicity Dawn of simplicity Dawn of simplicity Dawn of simplicity 11. Context Is for Kings (Stupidity and Mankind) Context is for kings Recapture freedom of speech Much as I admire Halt between two opinions, it troubles me Annoying figures Much as I despise Stupidity and mankind We're the people Time to reconsider our human rights The 21st century, a new era Class justice has declined Within living memory 'Judge of men' degraded humanity We speak highly of those Who murdered and betrayed Money, power, even the church in which we hoped to find shelter Tortured those who believed in something else Who decides? Me or you? The central part Preserve the happy mean between extremes. Wrong mentality? You're kidding me Much as I despise Stupidity and mankind. We're the people Time to reconsider our human rights The 21st century, a new era Radicalism has declined Sickening ways, unstoppable forces Far beyond our imagination It's easy to respect the ones we love But what about those we don't? Think small, act big, live fast, die soon Take care, embrace. Crush stupidity of mankind! Who decides? Who-who decides? Me or you? Who decides? Who decides? Me or you? Who decides? Context is for kings Context is for kings Context is for kings Context is for kings To see it all, To feel it all To fight it all, Context is for? To see it all, To feel it all To criticize it all, Context is for? Stupidity and mankind! Context is for kings!
