1. As a True King
Closer to the future flying rapidly
I've been damned to breathe what I hate to see
Forcing me to act what I can not be
Impurity is when you're pulling strings to see
I'm rising up I'm flying higher
How would it feel if I touched the sky?
Can't you see I'm rising higher
Rising free towards purity
Lashing down on my trust try to make me feel
Calm, at ease I'm feeling nauseous see
What kind of man do you want from me?
One for slavery, or a king that rules you
nice and free
I'm rising up I'm flying higher
How would it feel if I touched the sky?
Can't you see I'm rising higher
Rising free towards purity
Can't you see I'm rising higher
Can't you see I'm rising higher
As a true king
2. Powertool
Open the cap fill up the batteries
Play the game of your life
It's starting to shake
It's ready for you to control
Your flesh starts to sweat
The feeling you need to let go
Just do your thing lose all
the tension and flow
Powertool forever young
forever, forever young
Powertool when we're in bloom
when we're in bloom
Feeling the one handed love
As the best you've ever had
Wiping your mouth and getting
Ready to start again
When your body is shaking
And your sight turns black
You will know that you've found me
The mighty powertool
Powertool forever young
forever, forever young
Powertool when we're in bloom
when we're in bloom
3. Deserted
Everything seems to be flowing
My mind is set to consume you
And when the world comes down on you
Don't come to me to shed your tears
We got the time to find
Something to live for
Deserted mind like mine
To flow around in here
We've all got a line
You've crossed yours
You have crossed the breaking point
So don't come to me
And shed your tears
We got the time to find
Something to live for
Deserted mind like mine
To flow around
In here that our lives
To draw the line
It's hard so hard
That life has passed now
All that they know
So what is left now
To live for?
4. Soulburner
Sometimes thinking of suicide
The thought that sharpens my mind
Deep down in manic depression
I only hear my own cries
These thoughts are so twisted I can hardly
Look out from the edge of my world
Those feelings of losing every sense of touch
I tried to reach with my hands
Sometimes thinking of suicide
The thought that sharpens my mind
Sometimes life feels much cheaper
So cold, dull and grey
These thoughts are so twisted I can hardly
Look out from the edge of my world
Those feelings of losing every sense of touch
I tried to reach with my hands
Moving near the end of my dream
However I'm leaving after
I've tried to feel the way others feel
But it's just not for me
5. If Tomorrow Is Gone
Can't feel the rush that I used to
It's as you weren't there
I can't straighten my back right
I am so in despair
Now it's dark and I can't see
What the dreams carry to me
If tomorrow is gone
I would feel more comfort
And if
If tomorrow is gone
I would be alone then
Can't feel the rush that I used to
It's as you weren't there
I can't straighten my back right
I am so in despair
Now it's dark and I can't see
What the dreams carry to me
If tomorrow is gone
I would feel more comfort
And if
If tomorrow is gone
I would be alone then
6. Small Electric Space
This is our small electric space
A place of love a place of hate
Friends that hold you true
Who scares you more than you
Sometimes it's warm sometimes it's cold
Sometimes it's just like your world
Lost track of time lost the whole of you
Lost every thing worth fighting for
So you hide in your world
If ever time could heal your wounds
So you hide in our world
In our small Electric Space
This is our small electric space
A place for joy a place for your soul
If ever time means much to you
Find this place
Tears of gold tumbling down
Feelings that're cold take you far
Forever keeping life so true
Now you're damned
So you hide in your world
If ever time could heal your wounds
So you hide in our world
In our small Electric Space
7. Chaos in Flesh
Open your arms, show me your envy
The fury that makes
Do you cry out when you're in need?
Or do you just act like you're more mean?
So would you hold on now
Let the fate decide?
So would you hold on now
When our sorrow rise?
You are the chaos hidden in dreams
The ones that keep me awake
You are all evil, gathered in
One big monster machine
Force out control
Reign us with fury
Spinning in this endless machine
An eternal session within
You're chaos without limits
You're the sense to control
Evil is inside us all
But you won't get my soul
8. Ecstasy of Life
Step back in silence, meet the ecstacy in life
You shouldn't suffer so much
Face the enemy within yourself
Feel this growing anger
Wash in the pain the gates will not be shut
To the world of anger
Feel as much as I feel
More pain than the growing sorrow
Lies supposed to break me
As you always say
It's a war down in the shadows
Your ecstacy lies in hell
Step back in silence, meet the ecstacy in life
You shouldn't suffer so much
Face the enemy within yourself
Feel this growing anger
Lies supposed to break me
As you always say
It's a war down in the shadows
Your ecstacy lies in hell
9. Tell the World I'm Sorry
I want to fuck up everything that you ever loved
I want to lose my head go for the bat and crush your head
Relax for a while think it over
All the vicious circles I'm trembling in are going further down
The last words you ever spoke still echo in my head
The world has turned and left me here
So stiff and cold
Find hope, find a cure, find happiness
For my ragged, tortured soul
Tell the world I'm sorry
For blowing it all away
Tell the world I'm sorry
When I'm out of your way
I can feel the weight of the world on my soldiers
And it's crushing me
Faith is not enough, give me strength so my heart
Can keep pounding on
It's time to step back a minute or two
To think it over
All the vicious circles I'm trembling in
Are going further down
10. Loss
We are the weak ones
In one big, monster machine
We are the flesh of the Soulburner
We are the lost
We are the weak ones
In one big, monster machine
We are the flesh of the Soulburner
Soul
11. Black Days
Through all the black days
Why can't you hear
That sadness surrounds us?
And so hard I tried
To face the real things in life
I can't see how
I failed to fly
How I failed to fly
Black days they scream
And it hears our lies
It feels so unreal
To face our fears
When I am lost
I run away
So deep in my mind
To cry out in fear
When I am lost
I run away so deep in my mind
To cry out of fear
Faced by reality's screams
So hard, so cruel
Black days they scream
And it hears our lies
It feels so unreal
To face our fears
Through all the black days
Why can't you hear
That sadness surrounds us?
