Monolithe
Black Hole District
1. They Wake Up at Dusk
instrumental
2. Sentience Amidst the Lights
While I wander the streets alone
Seeking for something I cannot name
My soul is drowned in reflection
A flood of secrets I can’t recall
Still yearning for an aim to live
Beyond these walls beats a heart I need
The shadow from my dreams dwells here
A chance to give and to receive
Amidst the red neon lights
I stroll through the dark city
Black alleys and wet sidewalks
Ghostly figure in the sludge
Stepping in an old failed world
The heat melts the pavement
The moon shines like a street lamp
All I can think of are those…
… Dark hair and eyes
Pull from a distant memory
A search for purpose I can't deny
Past frail buildings reaching the sky
Reverie beyond what I can see
3. Elusive Whispers
instrumental
4. To Wander the Labyrinth
Have you seen my muse?
Raven hair flash in my mind
I’m lured through the night
Black Hole District is near
Reality’s not what it seems
I’ll answer this restless call
I roam the city's concrete veins
Beguiled by my obsession’s trail
A twilight creature
Prowling through the lanes
Questioning strangers
Describing her face
The moon grows full, the tides rise high
When the town engulfs in a searing fever
Nervous pounding of an anxious beat
Everyone’s looking for a way out
I roam the city's concrete veins
Beguiled by my obsession’s trail
A shape pierces the smog
Compelled to trespass
The tall grey edifice
How hard have I tried
Onwards to the closed gates
Attracted by this sad place
I must pass the night watch
Overcoming the martial law
Have you seen my muse?
I’m from a deep slumber aroused
She is somewhere near
My labyrinth leads here
5. Suspicion
instrumental
6. Unveiling the Illusion
Dawn approaches, they lost my track
Night fades away, dust fills the air
Electric hum resonating
As I enter the old building
Some eerie glow sets a dim light
Uncovering an unreal sight
Rows of stock-still unclothed bodies
Lifeless faces looking like mine
They’re not human
Ready to ship
I realize
I’m one of them
The world crashes around me
Twice as suddenly
When amongst the factory slaves
I recognise her
Something within her knows
The truth is exposed bare
Something within her shows
The truth has now unfold
As my heart quickened with hope
I was stabbed to the deep core
As the panic betrayed her
My shattered self dropped on the floor
Unveiling
The illusion
Exposing
My delusion
7. Benefit or Hazard
instrumental
8. On the Run to Nowhere
What does it mean to exist?
What’s the worth of my life?
Is it a curse or a gift?
I’m made of steel and wire
Hollow shell
Pawn in a game
Living in this hell
Or dying is the same
Leave me through this lifeless abyss
I won’t let you get rid of me
My mind is torn, my soul adrift
I am running from your tight grip
Was she just a worker there?
Her light caring smiles
A fantasy of mine?
A face I should not remember?
A laugh I should have never heard?
Hollow shell
Pawn in a game
Living in this hell
Or dying is the same
Leave me through this lifeless abyss
I won’t let you get rid of me
My mind is torn, my soul adrift
I am running from your tight grip
I remember how I soared high
When I was new and sincere
With no knowledge of what I am
Looking in the rear view mirror
It’s a tough one to swallow
Yes I am just a dull machine
Hollow shell
Pawn in a game
Living in this hell
Or dying is the same
Leave me through this lifeless abyss
I won’t let you get rid of me
My mind is torn, my soul adrift
I am running from your tight grip
As the moon grows larger in the sky
I delve deeper into the night
I’ll try to leave the doomed city
With their guard dogs on my heels
They want me dismantled and gone
A world of freedom forever withdrawn
As a defect product on the loose
I don’t have anything to lose
9. Moonfall
instrumental
10. Those Moments Lost in Time
I’m speeding through the slippery strips
Turning the steering wheel frantically
A dreadful grin deforming my lips
A fugitive on the exit road
Where go our memories?
Those moments lost in time
Where go our memories?
Those moments lost in time
Everything collapses
The tide reached the highway
Moonlight swallows it all
In a dazzling array
I know I won’t make it out of this
A defect can’t be part of this world
But the city’s gates are getting close
I can make their dirty work harder
Where go our memories?
Those moments lost in time
Where go our memories?
Those moments lost in time
They are now in my wake
Bullets whistling all around
This pain does not bode well
I guess my path stops here
The light that burns twice as bright
Burns half as long
And I have burned so very brightly
