CLOUDSCAPE LYRICS

1. Shapeshifter

Far away, invaders, watching us, from high above
Aim is set, us humanoids, scanning out, Mother earth
Invisible, among us, flesh and blood, terrestrials
Side by side, friend and foe, creeping up, creeping in
D.N.A patterns copied in millions
Replicants tied to their everlong mission
Dreaming of faces
Leaving traces
Know, know them so well...Shapeshifter
Far too late, the warning, overrun, mankind lost
Pray to die, we never will, cloning starts, the game is set
D.N.A patterns copied in millions
Replicants tied to their everlong mission
Dreaming of faces
Leaving traces
Know, know them so well
Shapeshifter
Dreaming of faces
Leaving traces
Know, know them so well
Shapeshifter
Everyday faces
Leaving traces
Dreaming of faces
Leaving traces
Know, know them so well
Shapeshifter

2. Shadowland

Welcome, I bid you welcome
As you enter my world
My infernal paradise
Will become your demise
My mind is exploring
A thousand ways
To inflict you pain
Evil, guiding my hand
Deeper into shadowland
Touch of evil
Draining your life
Deeper into shadowland
Leave here, you will never leave here
As we become one
My brutality divine
Will make you forever mine
The horror you feel arouses me
Beyond human ecstasy
Evil, guiding my hand
Deeper into shadowland
Touch of evil
Draining your life
Deeper into shadowland

3. And Then The Rain...

Little by little the veil closes in
Suffocation is not instant we're stretching our time
Flowing below us fossilized treasures
Bleeding the earth turning resource into stock
Black is the winter grey is the fall
Deeper grey than ever before
Corporations will linger certain as nightfall
Increasing accounts decreasing survival
Two shades of green with different content
One feeds the belly one feeds the bank
Black is the winter grey is the fall
Deeper grey than ever before
Summer and spring...
...Ceases to be
Into the pit we fall
Snowflakes burning us all
And then the rain...
Give me a reason to care
Suffering will pass us
Reap the whirlwind someday
To be the better man doesn't pay
Falling tears and silent complaints
No matter at all riding a hopeless wave
Voices of protest screaming in vain
Echoing for no one gives no recall
Black is the winter grey is the fall
Deeper grey than ever before
Summer and spring...
...Ceases to be
Into the pit we fall
Snowflakes burning us all
And then the rain...
Into the pit we fall
Snowflakes burning us all

4. Take The Blame

I still do remember
When our love did shine
A time for us we should recall
We shouldn't give it up that easily
A flame was burning
Why did it have to end
Dreams
The only thing that still remains...of you
I can't take the blame
You were leaving me
I still want your love
You are in my dreams
I want you for real
We were meant to be
I can't loose the memory
You were something rare
Can not stand that you are gone
Why did we choose our own directions
Was our love in vain
I need you now, more than ever
Dreams
The only thing that still remains...of you
I can't take the blame
You were leaving me
I still want your love
You are in my dreams
I want you for real
We were meant to be

5. The Last Breath

Staring toward the distant light
Thoughts from a different time appear
Becoming heavier by each minute
Deeper into the darkness below
The ocean will give
The ocean will take
Water is forgiving
Without care for the dead
Nor the living
It's getting colder and colder
Now we're surrounded by black
Panic is growing
It's getting deeper and deeper
There is no turning back
Awareness is fading
A void is calling as life's no more
Infinity welcomes the flesh
Will chunks of flesh be beaten before
Pressure forces bones to break
The ocean will give
The ocean will take
Water is forgiving
Without care for the dead
Nor the living
It's getting colder and colder
Now we're surrounded by black
Panic is growing
It's getting deeper and deeper
There is no turning back
Awareness is fading

6. Psychic Imbalance

Distant voices
Calling out your name
Slowly fading
Away in your mind
In the shadows you are walking into nowhere
All tide up inside your mind
It feels like you are lost in a mirror maze
Without a way to get out
Fury haunts you tries to change you
All you want is self-esteem
Living mortals, psychic behavior
Makes it harder to still your mind
Calling for understanding
Searching for your own presence
You are lost inside your mind
You can't break the chains that hold you
All you need is self awareness
You are reaching out for the world
So quiet that you can hear a teardrop fall
You are isolated in your mind
Watching traffic roaring
Loud but you can't hear it
Locked in a mental prison
Designed by your mind
You are trying to survive this
You should try to live instead
No one hears you, no one sees you
You are lost in a twilight zone
Calling for understanding
Searching for your own presence
You are lost inside your mind
You can't break the chains that hold you
All you need is self awareness
You are reaching out for the world

7. Hope

I remember you
You were lost in agony
Couldn't find a way
To move on smiling to the world
Everything is gone
All the lonely nights you've cried
Couldn't let it go
No one wants to survive their own children
You were filled with hope
Then the world fell down, everything was all gone
(You were crying, you're denying)
There were no answers...
Dreams fade away
Smiles were far away, memories haunting you
Forever lost
Try to move on, take a chance, you are not alone
Try to live again...hope
How can we help you
This can not go on anymore
It's so hard to understand
What you've been going through
You were filled with hope
Then the world fell down, everything was all gone
(You were crying, you're denying)
There were no answers...
Dreams fade away
Smiles were far away, memories haunting you
Forever lost
Try to move on, take a chance, you are not alone
Try to live again...hope

8. Breach In My Sanity

Way up there the world's got a cover
You've learned to translate them
Soft lined interpretations
Of what the future will bring
Leave me be
I don't want to know
Take my eyes
Don't want to care no more
The sky will show and tell
Will you believe
A breach in my sanity
Rolling over me I can't deny them
Wishing for rain
Nighttime provides peace of mind
Forming a cloudscape of signs
Visible to the chosen few
Every hour changing the message
Sometimes they're good, often they're not
Leave me be
I don't want to know
Take my eyes
Don't want to care no more
The sky will show and tell
Will you believe
A breach in my sanity
Rolling over me I can't deny them
Wishing for rain
Nighttime provides peace of mind
Frustration builds my world

9. Demon Tears

Pretending like an actor, a mind, intentions so black
Solitude darkness will be set free
Evolution made mistakes, to improve failures occur
Walking beside us, who could know...
A frontpage, something behind
There are three sides to some stories
Bleeding from the eyes that haunt you
Leaving scars which will reveal them
Give that pleasure they've been longing for
Pray to keep the demon locked in
Buried in the mind forever
Roam the earth for all eternity
Sedated in rooms with soft walls
We try to be enlightened
We're grasping for the answers
Since beginning of time
A riddle that followed mankind, give us a cure
A frontpage, something behind
There are three sides to some stories
Bleeding from the eyes that haunt you
Leaving scars which will reveal them
Give that pleasure they've been longing for
Pray to keep the demon locked in
Buried in the mind forever
Roam the earth for all eternity
Pretending like an actor, a mind, intentions so black
Among innocent people solitude darkness will be set free
Bleeding from the eyes that haunt you
Leaving scars which will reveal them
Give that pleasure they've been longing for
Pray to keep the demon locked in
Buried in the mind forever
Roam the earth for all eternity

10. 1000 Souls

The globe turned to ashes
A gift spoiled by greed
Irrevocable actions
No healing, no treatment, a wasteland
Find redemption in machines
Built to help, changed to kill
Controlled by evil hands
Forced to see through different eyes
Tentative efforts to leave this place
Dissident parties joined under one dream
Searching for the new homeworld
A 1000 brave souls
Set their eyes to the endless black
Reaching out for a dream
Hope never dies
But it is controlled by fear
Evolving industries pleased the crowd
Minds replaced by living steel
Technology grew past up
The spiral spun faster down
Parts made for destruction
Gives hope to a dying breed
A construction of salvation
Built to last, built to reach
Tentative efforts to leave this place
Dissident parties joined under one dream
Searching for the new homeworld
A 1000 brave souls
Set their eyes to the endless black
Reaching out for a dream
Hope never dies
But it is controlled by fear
Searching for the new homeworld
A thousand brave souls
Set their eyes to the endless black
Reaching out for a dream
Hope never dies
Controlled by fear

11. Someone Else

Deep behind lines of fire where conditions are barbaric
Everyone is floating in a sea so dark and cold
We bear an illusion of a world, a world with candour
Believing in freedom and a life of growing old
Thinking of my loved ones to escape the fear I feel
Longing for some music to forget the world of steel
Someone else is living my life
Something else is waiting for me
My pulse is rising but time stands still
I am caught in a scene of a brutal major mission
A mission not yet seen a mission of destruction
Clay-cold men, affray becomes an addiction
My mind keeps playing pictures of my deepest fear of all
Fear of losing my family the most precious thing of all
Someone else is living my life
Something else is waiting for me
Thinking of my loved ones to escape the fear I feel
Longing for some music to forget the world of steel
Someone else is living my life
Something else is waiting for me

12. Will We Remain

The silence seems so strange
It feels like there is something coming
The day turns into night
Still we're not aware
We have to care
We'll keep our fires that light up the world
What is it we are waiting for
Will we remain
Shadows and darkness (rising)
We are together as one
Children are crying
We must give them tomorrow
Night falls, fires burning
So many lives
Are wasted for nothing
I have a dream
Lights and shadows, signs of the moon
Imagine a place
Where love grows deep
Without fear and hate
We have to care
We'll keep our fires that light up the world
What is it we are waiting for
Will we remain
Shadows and darkness (rising)
We are together as one
Children are crying
We must give them tomorrow
Night falls, fires burning
So many lives
Are wasted for nothing
We are together...
