1. Black Heavy Cat
Music: Vestergaard - lyrics: Frolund
++++++++++++++++++
Imagine the complications in our useless lives
and the frustrations we're building
withing our selfless tries
We're consumed within our mediocre tears
and our minds are fucked for several years
You live you learn, so they say
But the lesson you have been told
remains the same every single day
But whenever you go out
destiny is at our back
sticks to you like a black heavy cat
We're trying to make sense of absurd things
Bearing our burden on heavy wings
Gather all our joys and sorrows
but life is still completely shallow
We're reaching out to cease the day
and climb the highest tree in big dismay
What drives us to improve?
What drives us to go on?
I don't know
'cause tomorrow we'll be gone

[Solo: Vestergaard]
[Solo: Broberg]


2. Metaphysical Electric
Music: Vestergaard - lyrics: Frolund
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Silently flew away
Away from sun, moon and big dismay
Away from earth and all the stupid people
Away from thoughts and evil
Away from fruitless tries
Away from all the feeble lies
Round and round repeating in your head
Haunting memories nauseating your heart
Remembering the creeping pain of loss
Putting on a false smile
Trying to be happy man you're not
Remembering the creeping pain of loss
Silently flew away
with the memory of a reckoning day
All life you have run from failure
Looked in every corner for a friendly saviour
that could save just one day and make your pain go away
Blessed are the sick, blessed are we

[Solo: Vestergaard]

Silently flew away against the metaphysical specture
Against a causa sui god
you believe will make you completely electric 


3. New God Rising
Music: Vestergaard - lyrics: Frolund
+++++++++++++++++
Greatest species on Mother Earth
were you and I
I greeted hallucinations and you holy survived
I seek meaning of life I walked wind and fire
We created a world so fertile that we someday could feed
our forthcoming children and later watch them bleed
I was fragile and naive and comfortably numb present
I pinned a dead faith to a lifeless yellow blessing
Forced the highest dignity
through a self-hand-made divinity
Who was Untouchable and mighty as a king
but weak as my sex and my sin
I was enlightened by fear Capture of solemn tears
Endeavour of infinity Devoted to philosophy

[Solo: Broberg]

I crushed the ancient mirror and created a new one
Manufactured my own God machine
based on mortal men philosophies
Pinned my life to this God machine
and killed the artifical one Now everyone I knew is Gobe

[Solo: Vestergaard


4. Matyr Of Life
Music: Vestergaard - lyrics: Frolund
++++++++++++++++
You nawseate by your mediocre life
Gasping for breath like a dying child
Lowering your head from the heaviness
of the stone that has kept you from your selfishness
You strumble down the path of discontent
Claw dirt with your trembling hands
Light a cigar with a golden Zippo
while you run like hell against the gallows
Gallows of God So have a cigar
You're soon going so far
Drink up your wine
You'll be just fine boy
You're a matyr of life
walking through the gallows of God

[Solo: Broberg]

You cause yourself to flee along the misery
Perishing in frustrations beyond infinity
Numb emotions flooding through your soul
Death and freedom is your everlasting goal
So over your shoulder
you throw your heavy cross
You're a matyr of life
walking through the gallows of God 


5. A Pertect Light
Music: Terp - lyrics: Frolund
++++++++++++++++++
Beyond the metaphysical spectre
there was perfect light
Only light, there was no hint of darkness
Nor was this moment ever in the past
Nor could it ever be. Outside time
It simply was. Perfect. Eternal. Pure
Existence
The Universe spun, and so did us
Not as beings but as monads in a reverie
In gravity's grip, no circle was pure
No being was being, yet by being we were
Eternal, forever an instant of light's electricity
We were stars, sea seed, galaxies, quarks
Nano things shinning on some starlit
For eons or seconds we were exactly the same
Existence's essence could be nothing than less
All were rapidly burning through nothingness
All were
The same were
eternally around you, within me
Was only light

[Solo: Broberg]


6. Watching, Falling, Breathing
Music: Terp - lyrics: Frolund
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Watch me
I'm falling
Inti the deep
Into the sea
See me
I'm breathing
Perfect breathing
Beneath the sea
There's no way
out of this deep
There's no way
out of this sea
There is no hope
for you or me
So I just want
to be beneath the sea
So don't pull me out
Don't release me
As my soul shall forever
swim beneath this sea 


7. Two Dice And A Silent Disguise
Music: Vestergaard - lyrics: Frolund
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[Solo: Vestergaard]

Do we know him well
Can he truly tell
Can he say he knows my name
Does he know who to blame
Can he see behind his mask
Does he know his task
Does he fear the life he leads
Will he walk where I do not know
A place I'd like to see and show
To view the world far and wide
A place where he can replace his long lost life
Do we see the thousand tears
he has shed through all his troubled years
The times that he was left alone
Never to see what he had been show
Is all he has enough to last
or will he need two dice to cast
Does he love what life denies
Will life succed his selfless tries
Or will he fall into a new disguise
Beyond this cold life

[Solo: Broberg/Vestergaard]


8. Causa Sui
Music: Terp/Vestergaard - lyrics: Frolund
++++++++++++
We were the avengers of life
The men without heads
Playing with ourselves like marionettes
We were lost in streams
Lost inside an electric dream
Believed we were ego cuasa sui
Another God, another plastic machine
We questioned the existence
of other beside being ourselves
Believed everything comes from nothing
and that nothing comes from everything
We saw our faces painted in neon colours
A few electrifed faces
Only scratched down, painted down on transparent flesh
We were the avengers of life
The men without heads
Playing with ourselves like stupid marionettes
We were infants Still bleeding in our mother's womb
Black eyed kings Dead, cursed and doomed
We saw our flesh as spots
inside the misty dark of our brain
And we believed that the perception
only happend inside our heads 


9. Jack
Music: Terp/Vestergaard - lyrics: Frolund
+++++++
Hey little girl
I would like to show you
my photo collection
Here I stand with Jack in my hand
You were perfect little girl
So perfect
Hey yellow girl
Here I stand in
No-mans-land
With a stupid sun in my hand
My love to you were too strong
And since you're no more
I have brought this gun
Soon I'll put it to my head
Pull the trigger
Then I'm dead
Hey black girl
Here I sit on my bed
with wild staring eyes
Pretending I'm already dead
Hey little girl
Will you miss me like I miss you
when you see the photo
of my blood painted room


10. Chains Of God
Music: Vestergaard - lyrics: Frolund
+++++++++++++++++
Like a cosmic Venus veiled in white
carried upon intergalatic light
You carried your golden wings and fiery eyes
ever afloat in dark eternal skies
Forever
Like a comet racing in the sky
You're moving faster than light
You're encircling your lucky star
And moon and sun are light years away
Pull him out of the chains of God
Before it's too late
