I keep on hearing this same sound This uncompromising sound as hard to bend as those uptight lives Feel like life's passing me by, it s so unbending This noise, like a hammered sound, reminds me how time is precious I can live with it now And I realise that losing it is out of question It wont always, it won't always conquer us unless we let it do so, it won't always conquer us TIMES IS RUNNING OUT Running after it without a real chance of catching it You only have one shot, but we can play again Can't wait for a change of player, I sarted of with a handicap It would be nice not to waste my time by just ignoring He can be firm, he can be firm, but he offered me a present It has left me carrying the scars on my face. It teaches me how to be wiser and understands better I can feel its prints on me, the countdown is on. I can live with it now And I realise that losing it is out of question It wont always, it won't always conquer us unless we let it do so, it won't always conquer us TIMES IS RUNNING OUT Like a tinnitus that would put me back in order It allows me to feel how fast time goes It's all timed up and it gives me the rythme. There’s no other way to deal with it. TIME IS RUNNING OUT It gives me that confidence that is just an illusion, an ability disguised in delusion Because we’ll learn until the very end It would be nice not to waste my time by just ignoring It can take a while to get your bearings. It reminds me that it’s now or never.

Iron Legs 02:43
Now the nightmare’s over Eyes can open up Bright light is dazzling me What will happen this time ? Dark is behind And all these memories remind me I've been betrayed I won’t forget and I know I'll be stronger No one can make this pain go No more oxygen Damaged Brain For the last time IRON LEGS I'm standing up again and for a while IRON LEGS Against the tide, I stood up strong I’ve got iron legs And all these memories remind me I ve been betrayed I won’t forget and I know I’ll be stronger No one can make this pain go No more oxygen Damaged Brain For the last time This time I won't, it won’t get me again this time, not this time And I'll look at him from up high And he’ll be so small, I won't even see him. And he’ll be so small Completely gone, so much that I won't even remember him Completely gone, so much that I won't remember him No!! This couldn’t be totally fair No one can make this pain go No more oxygen And I won’t forget that Damaged Brain For the last time.

Mistrust 02:37
I have felt your gaze linger of late. Maybe questionning yourself or something else All the time I see you with your fake smile I’m sure something is missing in your life, But don't think about blaming anyone but yourself I know what you are trying to do, so cut it off You're making me close to have a nervous breakdown. Mistrust is still pervasive I’m the only one to know we are the same Mistrust is still pervasive Nothing more, just think about it. Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules ? Maybe words speak better than actions For everyone who wants me to dissapear My true friends say they’re jealous I’ve never believed this I try to make some efforts, that’s why, I’m always just a little bit sore Mistrust is still pervasive I’m the only one to know we are the same Mistrust is still pervasive Nothing more, just think about it No nee to waste your time - In this situation No need to waste your time - That’s bothering me And I think you’re just a fool to be there, like us Trying to find something, in what we believe Please don’t tell me you’re just following A sense of mistrust, however, remained. Anger leads to ignore that rotten world you can’t deny it this time Anger leads to ignore that rotten world Where everybody lives the same desillusion. Can’t get any prouder from the conclusion that when you want you can. Without any help, just enough resources No pain, no gain, without suffering

Contemplation allow actions - Fitting in, figure out Introspection leads to evolution – Fitting in, figure out And a justification even based on good reason is a issue to get away from this mess You're still asking but it's useless Try opening your glued eyes I know glue is hard to get rid of We warned you, your tears won't be able to take it off Don't be surprised It's not only our so-called madness When you'll open your eyes, everything will be grey Burry your sins, They will start to believe in our so-called madness It reminds me a fading process, a fading process Street by street Brick by brick Be able to proceed, disappear Streets by streets Brick by brick Be able to proceed, disappear And it's not useless We warned you, there's no more sheperd in the flock Don't be surprised, it's not only our so-called madness You have not traded up ? Now Bro's all go dressed in black There's no more role for you anymore Burry your sins, They will start to believe in our so-called madness It reminds me a fading process, a fading process You're still asking but it's useless Try opening your glued eyes I know glue is hard to get rid of We warned you, your tears won't be able to take it off Fading process, fading process

Crypt 03:10
In the twilight of the night And down in the basements Debauchery’s taking place Riot's happening Secret lines are made and unmade Short dressed girls are not called that way But isn’t that their main goal ? what they’re asking for ? In fact she's more focused on her wallet 'cause that's what's gonna take her to some "good livings" She decided something better was waiting for her She decided something better was waiting for her You want your piece of cake ! But if you wanna play, you need to know how, when you lose yourself over there and you lose it all, games-have-rules But I wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else I like knowing I can find perversion It's not a good time to hang around but there's nothing else left to do Debauchery has become my only friend Debauchery has become my only friend Same old faces... The ones who never get to see daylight, only the dark side of it The dark side of our existence Trying to disappear through the night Waiting for life to pass by but still making the most of each second

We should lead the world and cure it, rather than follow Sometimes I speak with you trying to understand why Why did you decide, did you decide, to follow everything you’ve heard. All those shapes making a big mass, They’re all going into the same way You don’t seem to get the fact that I don’t want any fucking money These thoughts are way too deep for you You cannot lift your spirit any higher Stuck up in your narrow minded points of view ’Cause the only thing that feeds my soul, is what I’m doing now And just to talk about it, I’m ready to kill it ! We built our past in common Some lifes’s lasting memories Cause that’s what’s makes us stand still And sometimes I could even die for it, for it You will never get it, you will never fucking get it. 'Cause what I love means nothing to you. Many years of hard labors were needed, then you weren’t there To support my plans, you weren’t there, my plans, you weren’t there ! You weren’t there, you were never fucking there I’m not looking down upon you, just do as much then I could desregard you, despite my faith in the human race We build our past in common Some lifes’s lasting memories Cause that’s what’s make us stand still And sometimes I could even die for it, for it You will never get it. You will fucking never get it. But I can apologize again, You thought you’d change my mind with a couple of empty arguments ?

There's Hope 03:30
Now it’s over you told me “no matter why” People’s staring and always asking why Locked in that brain, you don’t belong here They’re just lambs who got capped by the butcher YOU LOST YOUR FREEDOM Your life, your life isn't bullshit - we've got no hope I'd like to tell you that way that you recover. Ready to stay alive - we've got no hope I can’t think and support more of it Those liars, promises are so dull We don’t give a fucking shit, They took it for the ghost And I don’t fucking forget, forget Where I come from Body hurts day and night That's a story of life You will find a medecine If you feel broken inside, Make the promise to keep your pride. Nobody is allowed to suffer this way, what’s the point And to end up like that.... You know you have your pride Trust me, answer is just to wait Believe me, they all have regrets. They will let you down, you'll always have to resist In the end, they'll (still) spit on your face Now I know who I am, So please, you just have to wait, don’t give up 'Cause in the end, there's always a good thing's coming Stop listening to all these bastards, at the end they’ll let you down So that’s why we’re still alive. Don’t waste your time, you need strength to hold out. Hang on, stay strong, pride.

Mindcell 02:11
As long as your lies will endure, so will your guilt You're gonna be sick of that shit But everyone stays quiet Times when the mind burns They did it for themselves Till then they won't realise Giving a lie One time You've been done with their lies They're robing you of your pride Too many people have paid enough and then face to face won't pay your gain Fuck those who are gonna tell you how to be And just think about it They will find a reason, they fucking betrayed you You were in a fucking jail Where some of them would have died Where they lacked everything, mostly recognition One time You've been done with their lies They're robing you of your pride One time You've been done with their lies Always find a fucking reason You were in a fucking jail Where some of them would have died Where they lacked everything, mostly recognition You've been done with their lies, it's time to open your eyes You were in a fucking jail

Messy 03:11
Would you mind telling me why do you have trouble sleeping ? Why so much mess in your head ? Why is everything so locked up inside ? Don't lie, you know why I'm screaming for Don't you remember the days before you messed it up yourself ? Don't lie, I know why I did fight for. You always lie, and you're unable to speak your truth Locked up in a fortress made of white matter I thought I saw a crack in the wall, should I start digging where it hurts ? But what’s the point in breaking a concrete wall, I protect my hands now, before having scars again. Why so much mess in your head ? Emerge from this nightmare Remember why - I'm screaming for. Don't you remember the days before you messed it up yourself ? Don't lie, I know why I did fight for. You alway lie, and you're unable to speak your truth Don't lie, you know why I'm screaming for Don't lie, I know why I did fight for Don't you remember the pain you caused Don't lie, who are you taking me for ! Don’t push it too far – Why so much mess in your head ? Don’t push it too far – Why so much mess in your head ? Don’t push it too far – Why so much mess in your head ? Don't push it too far, force yourself to open your mind.
