1. For Broken Words
[Music: Jivarp / Brändström]
[Whispering:]
No truth, no lie
No truth, no lie
No truth, no lie
It twists and turns
Into something that is not to be
What truth is left
Was abandoned as the lines flew by
Our words are broken
Commit to sacrifice
Betrayal of the code
Thrust into nothingness
No truth, no lie
Our words are broken
Our subconscious bias
Confirmed what we already believe
There is no message
There is no value
We give shelter to our false ideas
Commit to sacrifice
Betrayal of the code
Thrust into nothingness
Tear our thoughts into splinters
Stab the sense
Forced to remember
Words get thrown
Out of focus
As we test our will
Dissolve to nothing
Break all bounds of unfair holding
Track this line to journey's end
We're breaking
We're breaking down
Our words are broken
Commit to sacrifice
Betrayal of the code
Thrust into nothingness
No truth, no lie
...our sacrifice
...betray the code
...into nothingness
2. The Science Of Noise
[Stanne, Mikael Bengt / Brändström, Martin / Jivarp, Anders / Sundin, Niklas Bo / Henriksson, Martin]
To connect
And make sense of it all
We draw lines
Through the chaos within
We measure what is everything but real
On a crooked scale
Bend it to our will
Dream it into form
Bend it to our will
Dream it into form
Shape it in our image
The science of noise
Fill in the blanks
And avert the gaze
Descend upon
Those who trespass against us
Torn from the sheltering safety of faith
As crooked as they come
Bend it to our will
Dream it into form
Bend it to our will
Dream it into form
Shape it in our image
The science of noise
One clear cut line
That separates it all
We challenge the void
To bare it secret beyond
We look until we see
What our truth now will be
Now
Bend it to our will
Dream it into form
Bend it to our will
Dream it into form
Shape it in our image
The science of noise
3. Uniformity
[Music: Jivarp/Brändström/Sundin]
It all comes out
In desire we forgot to face
Take down ambition
Or in our minds we will always fail
The faceless remember
The hours and the fallen words
Connect the fallacies
Detect autonomy
There is a limit
To the never-ending sky
We must come to terms
Admit we are defeated
We must come to terms
With bias and deception
Stand up and be counted
In uniformity
It sets a high mark
For what our minds can endure
Is there life in the distance
A faint beacon of light
Let us fall to the inner ceiling
Of everything we see
The endless resistance
Decides upon the fallen words
Direct the agony to a non response
And forgiveness to an idealized mirage
We must come to terms
Admit we are defeated
We must come to terms
With bias and deception
Stand up and be counted
In uniformity
It informs all decisions
And challenges us to dare
4. The Silence In Between
[Music: Jivarp/Henriksson/Brändström]
Exaggerate what the words won't say
Build an argument against yourself
Sit this one out
In the silent treatment
The walls are coming down
All we need is
One to fail
One to break
One to take it all away
What if we crumble?
What if we fall?
Where is the flame
That torched the soul?
Truth when spoken
Dies down to nothing
We challenged light and flame,
We settled for the dark
With pressure built to a point
Deflated before its time
We set our world on fire
Yet lost the will to burn
Not set a tone but a distance
The silence in between
Whatever validates
The anger kept inside
The walls are coming down
All we need is
One to fail
One to break
One to take it all away
What if we crumble?
What if we fall?
Where is the flame
That torched the soul?
Truth when spoken
Dies down to
Nothing ties the world to me
Not in a page of history
Cannot talk the pain away
Nothing ties the world to me
[Solo]
The silent treatment gets to me
So few and far between
These great dividing acts
Behind those silent eyes
The walls are coming down
All we need is
One to fail
One to break
One to take it all away
What if we crumble?
What if we fall?
Where is the flame
That torched the soul?
Truth when spoken
Dies down to nothing
5. Apathetic
[Music: Sundin]
Take the loss to heart
A new beginning
Start anew
Apocalyptic bliss
Lost to the hours
Bare essential needs
Succumb to this
Non-reality
Sometimes I feel
What silence best describes
Sometimes I feel
Apathetic to this life
Apathetic to this life
Turn your back
On helpless failures past
Awakening
Shut the mind
To equal parts of nothing
Reality now
[Solo]
Wicked
The sense of nothing lost
Will of the steerless ones
Sometimes I feel
What silence best describes
Sometimes I feel
Apathetic to this life
Apathetic to this life
Face away
From the garish light of day
Remembering
Something I supposed
To have believed
Reality now
[Solo]
Sometimes I feel
What silence best describes
Sometimes I feel
Apathetic to this life
Apathetic to this life
Apathetic
Apathetic
Apathetic to this life
6. What Only You Know
[Music: Brändström]
So after all that has been said
Can we find a way back to when
The days were ours to take
And nothing ever hurt,
And we failed to offer or forgive?
Reach out for the favors
Take down the hopeful light
For even the broken, even the broken break
In the silence that only you know
What hides in the emptiness that only you know?
When the night is long and the will is weak
Even the broken break.
It is a pain you will never know
Held up to a light you once shone
For every hour in my head the mind distorts
So what can the broken ever say?
Phase out the noise pollution
Tune out of insanity's dream
Take the hopeless, take the hopeless down
In the silence that only you know
What hides in the emptiness that only you know?
In that darkness that only you know
In the silence that only you know
What hides in the emptiness that only you know?
7. Endtime Hearts
[Music: Sundin]
You burned the ruin
The torched remains
And set the precedent
Of innocence betrayed
With the coming of our ages
Will the chasm clear
To identify the pieces
And gather what is lost
The hours feel so different
Yet everything's the same
The hours feel so different
Now bring it out into the open
Full disclosure now
Bring it out so we can
Start all over again
Take another stab at honesty
Full disclosure now
Get it done so we can
Start all over again
Righting the imbalance
In a difference of hearts
Close to breakage
Soon to fall
Fought the urge
To carry through
Held on to the real
Sacrifice the ego
Sacrifice the I
It changes the perception
And alters disbelief
It changes the perception
Now bring it out into the open
Full disclosure now
Bring it out so we can start all over again
Take another stab at honesty
Full disclosure now
Get it done so we can start all over again
[Solo]
The hours feel so different
Yet everything's the same
The hours feel so different
Now bring it out into the open
Full disclosure now
Bring it out so we can start all over again
Take another stab at honesty
Full disclosure now
Get it done so we can start all over again
8. State Of Trust
[Music: Brändström]
Like a crack in the clean slate
I see emotion take over the rational
We are the favoured sons of reason
With tools at our disposal
Squandered day by day
Strip the thoughts
Heal the system
Take the original back
It is inside me
It is inside me now
If this is all I can remember
Can I ever trust myself?
Like a flash or a fleeting glance
I see movement in the corner of my eye
Now the mind goes into overdrive
To process and deceive
How will I ever know?
Give up the experience
To halt the fictional mind
It is inside me
It is inside me now
Block out all that makes it painful
Set the pieces back in place
If this is all that I remember
Can I ever trust myself?
I track movement
Like light behind my eyes
Made to match up
With what I tell myself each day
My experience
Is what I do not know
And one I cannot trust
It infects the marrow
A virus of ideas
It is inside me
It is inside me now
What my mind is telling me
Must come undone
If this is all that I remember
Can I ever trust myself?
9. Weight Of The End
[Music: Jivarp/Brändström/Sundin]
I feel the silence come
In rooms I now detest
The chill of the touch
In infinite night
I thought I had it
One life (one life)
One fear (one fear)
Too much to handle
Too much to take
One life (one life)
One fear (one fear)
Too much to handle
Too much to take
I held it as my own
And took for granted what I knew
Come inside
To what the darkness pushed away
Set out to find me
The cold of the thought
In infinite touch
The switch gets thrown
One life (one life)
One fear (one fear)
Too much to handle
Too much to take
One life (one life)
One fear (one fear)
Too much to handle
Too much to take
What are we missing here?
What have we been told?
We must be the shield and not the sword
Be the shield, not the sword
One life (one life)
One fear (one fear)
Too much to handle
Too much to take
One life (one life)
One fear (one fear)
Too much to handle
Too much to take
10. None Becoming
[Music: Brändström]
This life was thrown
Out to the elements for failure
This life was over before it had its time
The distance blurred the edges
And sickened the resolve
Our overturned perception
Held forgotten virtues true
We failed to hold our promise
Of never letting go
The doubt is now inoperable
As faith is to the blind
Man-made virus of deception
We must vaccinate the mind
Alter our climate
Tune the world to our will
The dust has settled in
The broken structure
Is now one with
This shattered beauty
In timeless indifference
Become one, become one, become none
The upturned soil, the reversed sky
Mock with promise of our last hope
Sky-bound in our will
We seep beneath the surface layer
Become one, become one, become one, become none
11. Immemorial
[Music: Jivarp / Brändström / Sundin]
Between the white and the black
Where the grey interacts
Within the margin of reason and lies
A line must be drawn
Fear of an opposing
Thought is ours
Ages upon ages of distrust
Feed the war machine
That's in our minds
Fundamental truths
Now set aside
Territorial immemorial
Territorial
The anger attached to the bone
Digs in deep and poisons the core
The scorn of the nefarious scribe
Must be heard through the ages
Tune the instrument to reason's light
Measure what is equal, what is right
The venom spreads itself
Through thought and word
Boundless and protective
At the core
Now
Territorial immemorial
Territorial
[Solo]
Break momentum again
The forces of will is upon us
If man is the measure
Then anything goes
Draw from and interpret the absurd
Borne on antiquated lost ideals
From the oppressor
To the blinded prisoner
Our goals are just the same
Now
Territorial immemorial
Territorial...
