2.	Life Delayed 05:23	lyrics	buy track
LIFE DELAYED You dare not speak aloud Hide yourself among the crowd Faceless you prefer to stay One who’d never disobey Is indifference a crime? It’s a sign of our time From actions you would abstain Not a day you will seize Tearing dreams piece by piece Human soul spent in vain You have chosen to fade With no effort made All your life’s been delayed You exist like in a trance Always blaming circumstance For all your life’s mischief Narrow-sighted and naïve Is your blindness a bliss? Is it your sought-for peace? The time loop you dived into From your birth till your grave You try to play it safe With no sense to show through You have chosen to fade With no effort made All your life’s been delayed You’re not evil, you’re just weak One who wouldn’t dare to speak You say, staying out won’t harm But it kills like firearm
3.	When All Comes Down 04:36	lyrics	buy track
WHEN ALL COMES DOWN We’re senseless and savage Our planet we ravage We think that we’re masters But bring in disasters Burning, burning, burning down Falling, falling, falling down Running, running, running round Are we breakdown-bound? CH: When birds of prey Think they achieve Something that brings them massive profit Who is to pay For all the grief That they will cause when all comes down? When birds of prey Think they achieve Something that brings them massive profit Who is to pay For all the grief That they will cause when all comes down? CHORUS When we are all gone To oblivion forever When all turn to dust What is left after us? When all comes down Our home is turning To wastelands And burning down
4.	Asylum 05:19	lyrics	buy track
ASYLUM Just one look around Is enough to see That the world has drowned In insanity Faces full of hate Actions wild and mean It is far too late To atone our sins Far from vice control I’ve found a hideaway For the wounded soul Where it’s safe to stay Why should I sell My life to your hell I’d rather dwell In my citadel Locked here alone And no one will ever confine My own asylum online I still sense you near You’re by my side A wall between us But we’ll reunite I won’t let go Our love lives on Just hold on tight And we’ll see the sun I can feel you close Beating of your heart But the way I chose Drifted us apart I want you with me But if I am back Crowd’s atrocity Quickly will attack In their universe We’ll be torn and strayed So, we should immerse In the world I made Place for me and you Shelter from the storm Harmony for two As our lives reform Why should we sell Our lives to their hell We’d rather dwell In our citadel Locked here alone And no one will ever confine Our own asylum online I still sense you near You’re by my side A wall between us falls And we reunite Don’t let me go Our love lives on I hold on tight As we see the sun
5.	One Against All 04:44	lyrics	buy track
ONE AGAINST ALL Narrow-minded tunnel vision Led from views collision Only shown what’s safe Easy to digest and swallow Data that you follow In your guarded cave But one glance beyond this unseen jail Will awaken something inside This longing for truth soon will prevail Shining bright CH: Lost with no cruise control Can’t accept my parole All that I knew vanished in whole I can’t take what I’ve learnt As the tables have turned One against all Once a slave to screen so dire You start to inquire What’s behind the veil You can see how much deceiving Is the lives they’re living Lost without a trail The web of their lies is stealth and tough You just feel like running amok But power of one’s often enough To become unstuck To become unstuck CH: Lost with no cruise control Can’t accept my parole All that I knew vanished in whole I can’t take what I’ve learnt As the tables have turned One against all I call One day you’ll wake And see all your mistakes That’s when system breaks

7.	On Smoldering Wings 04:34	lyrics	buy track
ON SMOLDERING WINGS I know a single road And follow my own path Though heavy is the load I bear I’m trying to reach out To all the dreams I’ve had But always disavowed Somewhere CH: I still carry on On smoldering wings Into the unknown To face a new dawn To rise I still try Against all the odds Someday I will fly Once I was born to crawl At least so I’ve been told And many solid walls I’ve faced So many times before I’ve been back to square one And ways that I longed for Were waste But CH: I still carry on On smoldering wings Into the unknown To face a new dawn To rise I still try Against all the odds Someday I will fly
