DAMNATION PLAN LYRICS

1. Intro

[Instrumental]

2. The Unknown Presence

have I sometime been here?
I can't say if this is real
what is this place that we are in?
how did I end up here?
I've lived with myself
facing states of the unreal
trapped inside my body
waiting for something to set me free
- set me free
I'm trapped inside of this
paralyzed state I feel
it's come to tear my world down
no one to set me free
I am still waiting
this nightmare to be real
I am still waiting
still trapped inside of this
unknown state of fear
I can not hide
with this constant fear
I feel, I breathe, I live my life every day
I'm losing every way
living this life surreal
there's no soul in this room
yet I know it's right here
I feel its presence so near me again
waiting - my mind to set me free
I am still waiting
this nightmare to be real
I am still waiting
is this the reality?
or am I losing my sanity?
how have I ended up here?
still waiting...
still waiting...
for something to set me freeset me free
catatonic dreamlike projection
lone witness of the scene
breathing and following action
only my body stays still
I've come to terms with it
that with this disbelief
I can't face it for real
I'm never meant to be freed
there's no soul in this room
yet I know it's right here
I feel its presence so near me again
is this the reality?
or am I losing my sanity?
the familiar signs within
wake me up to this surreal
frozen inside I'm just waiting
still trapped inside of this paralyzed state I feel
what is the reality that we all live in?

3. Blindsighted

I don't care what you want me to be
I wouldn't change myself
to fit your fantasy
to become one of you
shadows of my past
have made me ME - can't you see?
you've yet to prove yourself!
looking for some recognition
with your washed-out ideal?
it's all the same what I say to you
still I can't make you see
just keep on living as you've been told
among those of your kind
the way it's meant for you
in your washed-out ideal
life is burning at both ends
still you cannot grasp reality - reality
after all your mistakes made
still you cannot see what you've come to be
so you came here to prove yourself
declaring you've got something to say
blistering blindsights on me
expecting me to kneel?
you thought you could possibly change me?
talk without sense or reasoning
blindfolded speech of your kind
the path you've chosen yourself
led by the blind through all your life
custom-tailored just for you
a disfigured mind of fool
you'll get your recognition!
shadows of my past
have made me ME - can't you see?
you've yet to prove yourself!
you've yet to prove yourself!

4. The Wakening

come the wakening
sudden rise of awareness comes by
it's set up and all written in the sky
come the wakening
sudden rise of awareness comes by
come the wakening
too late to open shut eyes
watching our lives fade away
chaotic disruption
lives lived without cause
disregarded lives forgotten
ways of civilizations
coordinated mass deceptions
forsaken - innocence faked
awaken - eternal sleep
all the signs we were given
to finally change the course
false judgment prevails
as the weakness grows in us all
come the wakening
yet to the very end
we believe we can wait forever
what lies beneath the corruption's
layers of lies hiding the truth?
an innocent man closes his eyes
- the silent blessing for the evil
shoot the messenger
spreading the information
provoked thinking - the enemy of the state
join the gray mass, focus on the entertainment
as long as it's not your life that's on the line
innocent bystanders
let the evil reign
come the wakening
we can only wake the sleeping

5. Edge Of Machinery

no one to hide from
nothing left to live for
not far from now
our souls will be forced to resignate
living off the radar
living off the radar of machinery
there'll be no savior
for the ones standing in line
it was supposed to be forever
there was nothing we could not hide
not a thing to last forever
our lives are fading away
in between the lies and hatred
they took our rights to pave their ways
no one has witnessed with their eyes
this hidden betrayal in disguise
no one to save us now
no one who stands by our side
as it finally came to our realization
came all too late to tear it down
too late to tear it down
too late to turn it down
late to tear it down -
too late to turn it down
no salvation for standing in line
too late to wait forever
your fates will be decided for you
not a thing will live forever
even this empire will fall
right now!
no salvation for standing in line

6. Crimson Skies

ghosts of my memory
ever haunting me
since I lost it all
what I have been fighting for
burning, my life's victories are burning
too late for re-learning
all shattered in pieces inside
I reach to the crimson sky
and in a fraction of time
everything can be taken away
shattered in pieces inside
I reach to the crimson sky
life's brutality keeps reminding me
of these distant scenes from memory
ever bringing me this agony
still I can't let it go for real
dwelling there, somewhere in between
even though there's nothing left to be seen
been through this a million times before
if only I could erase it all
dark clouds have gathered around
- as I reach to the crimson sky
could I've done anything differently?
and I know the answer is no
what am I still fighting for?
I am to face this death alone
the crimson is here
the crimson is finally here
undeliverance
of all the things I've kept of worth
life's too short to figure this out -
denial was never built in me
dark clouds have gathered around
final gaze to the crimson sky
it is a lesson we cannot learn until we've made it all through
how can I ever risk this again?
this life will never be the same
and as this time freezes
the dark clouds have gathered around
the moment of realization
I am to face this death alone

7. Walk Of Illusion

world's growing dead to me now
I have got to be strong
ever searching for the answers
ever searching for the way
searching, breathing
burning bridges behind
having a chokehold on me
I have to find a way
or there'll be nothing around me
nothing left to burn
no more bridges to burn
I've been walking this earth
long enough to see
what it's come to be
it's no more an illusion - to me
self-righteous bastards surrounding me
I have to find my way
I have to prove them wrong
or it will all be gone
searching, breathing
burning bridges behind
having a chokehold on me
I have to find a way
or there'll be nothing around me
nothing left to burn
no more bridges to burn
realizing the need
to step up, make a difference
forced to face the truth
it's no more an illusion - to me
still walking this earth
had enough to see
what it's come to be
it's no more an illusion - to me

8. Ashes

where's the world's sanity?
burning ashes of me
washing down to the sea
drifting ways part from me
as I'm set to be freed
these burning ashes of me
are washing down to the sea
and setting me to be free
finally setting me free
these burning ashes of me
are washing down to the sea
and drifting ways part from me
these burning ashes of me
they bid me farewell through my soul's eyes
these burning ashes of me
washing down to the sea
and drifting ways part from me
I always lived to be free
yet these burning ashes of me
are the ones releasing me
and setting me to be free
finally setting me free
these burning ashes of me
are washing down to the sea
and setting me to be free
where's the world's sanity?
burning ashes of me
washing down to the sea
drifting ways part from me
as they're setting me free
finally free
they're setting me free
setting me free

9. Resurrected (Within Ourselves)

free yourselves
nothing can break us now
within ourselves
nothing can break us now
and all the obstruction that we face
adds another dimension
step up and face the enemy
scorching free, holding back your intentions
and all the lies we've been force-fed
will be shown in a new light
our lives ruled by their stone cold hearts
all coming down to an end
reason for all of the pain we feel
is just to make us see?
open your eyes to see
what you've done to yourself
still looking over to the others' direction?
choosing them over yourself?
and all the obstruction that we face
adds the other dimension
the time is now - what are you waiting for?!
who says we can't decide our own fate?
free yourselves
nothing can break us now
within ourselves
deep down lies the answer

10. Grand World Anthem

our lives in this world
have been accounted for
once dragged to the cold, real world
living now on the edge of it all
this life - the resistance
rising up towards the system's
blindsighted rules we follow
one-sided views we hallow
controlled fear with greed - the fragile existence of fear
what have we come to?
living this life still without a clue
wish it was untrue
we are just racing towards our own doom
when will this empire fall?
- bring forth the new beginning!
nothing exhausts the monetary system's greed
depriving the other in order to overspill
watch the vortex wipe away the doomed
while you stand on the other side
waiting for your own judgment call
controlled fear with greed - the fragile existence of fear
the world untrue
manipulated by its masters' fools
the world is untrue
manipulated by its masters' fools
without a clue
people descend from a different truth
the world untrue
manipulated by its masters' fools
world untrue
