MAD ARCHITECT LYRICS

1. Echoes From Beyond

2. Dreamworld

[Music & Lyrics: M Daun]

[Verse 1:]
Believing we are the crown of creation,
We´re driven by unattainable goals.
A never ending desire for sensation,
in return we´re selling our souls.

[Pre-chorus:]
At once so foolish, all so wicked and insane.
Draining our lifeblood till nothing remain.
As if a Being, God or Fiend, could reign?
(Mark my words), this is the beginning of the end.

[Chorus 1:]
Living in a dreamworld,
Where nothing is for real.
Life is just illusion,
When you´re living in your dream.

[Verse 2:]
The ultimate institution of greed,
With an insatiable hunger for power.
We calmly ask them to please proceed,
Allowing us to be devoured.

[Pre-chorus:]
Aren´t they all the same, just want to fill your head.
With promises you will be rewarded when you´re dead!
As if a Being, God or Fiend, could reign?
(We´re closing in), to the beginning of the end.

[Chorus 2:]
Living in a dreamworld,
Where nothing is for real.
Life is just illusion,
When you´re living in a dream.

[Solo]

[Verse 3:]
Believing we are the crown of creation,
We´re driven by unattainable goals.
A never ending desire for sensation,
In return we are selling our souls.

[Pre-chorus:]
At once so foolish, all so wicked and insane.
Draining our lifeblood till nothing remain.
As if a Being, God or Fiend, could reign?
(Finally, now), this is the beginning of the end.

[Chorus 3:]
Living in a dreamworld,
Where nothing is for real.
Life is just illusion,
When you´re living in a dream.

Living in a dreamworld,
Where nothing is for real.
Life is just illusion,
When you´re living in a dream.

3. Universal Law

4. Mad Architect

[Music: Daun  Lyrics: Shaw]

Spiral tower - neatly twined
Architect - unique in kind
Objects of a twisted mind
What's been lost and what's been found, mental state of..
Built of dreams on sacred ground, mass destruction
 
Brick by brick and Stone by stone
Left a tomb that's marked "unknown"
What's been lost and what's been found, mental state of...
 
Mad, it's the Mad Architect
His purpose is genuine but not so pure
Mad, the Mad Architect
His actions are justified by a higher goal, goal, goal

Futuristic in design,
Seldom seen such evil mind
Of this master so divine
In the name of liberty, reads slavery
Grandeur for the world to see
But not for you and me!
 
Ha! See he laughs at your suffering - as he pisses on your graves
What's been lost and what's been found, mental state of...
 
Mad, it's the Mad Architect
His purpose is genuine but not so pure
Mad, the Mad Architect
His actions are justified by a goal so much higher, higher, higher
Than life itself!

Severed assumption, written in blood
Fearing that something wicked will now happen.
Severed by numbers, seven to one
Live in temptation with no fear or weapon
Civil construction - will happen

Past and present - light and shade
This damn tower of man made
That's a fact on both accounts
Built with blood on sacred ground
Side by side by side by side,
Side by side by side by side...

5. Transitions - Part 1

6. Sailing Away

7. Floating

8. Strange Machine

[Music & Lyrics: M Daun]

[Verse 1:]
Never saw it coming,
Waking you up from the deepest sleep,
A brutal nightmare,
Fast becoming reality.

Feeding (from your brain),
Thriving (from your pain).

[Verse 2:]
Brought back to life,
Mind unwilling to accept.
Cursed are the nations,
The gates have now been opened wide.

Marauding (for their own gain),
Slaughtering (blood will rain).

[Chorus 1:]
Strange Machine – created by mad inventors,
Main purpose to be grinding you down.

Strange Machine – created by mad inventors,
Main purpose to be grinding you down.

[Verse 3:]
Chain of events,
Throwing all your hopes into,
Eternal darkness,
Too late now for switching down...

The machine (that´s grinding you down),
It´s wheels (goes round and round).

[Chorus 2:]
Strange Machine – created by mad inventors,
Main purpose to be grinding you down.
Strange Machine – efficient butchery of willing victims,
Spinning wheels lubricated by their blood.

Ripping and tearing the flesh from your bone.
(Like) voracious carnivores – feasting on their prey.
Crushing the bones, sucking out the marrow,
Not satisfied until there´s nothing left to bleed.

[Solo]

[Verse 4:]
Never saw it coming,
Waking you up from the deepest sleep,
Without a conscience,
Systematically exploiting.

Feeding (from your brain),
Thriving (from your pain).

[Chorus 3:]
Strange Machine – created by mad inventors,
Main purpose to be grinding you down.
Strange Machine – efficient butchery of willing victims,
Spinning wheels lubricated by their blood.

Ripping and tearing the flesh from your bone.
(Voracious carnivores – feasting on their prey.)
Crushing the bones, sucking out the marrow.

Ripping and tearing the flesh from your bone.
(Voracious carnivores – feasting on their blood.)
Crushing the bones, sucking out the marrow.

9. Altered States

[CD Bonus Track]

[Music & Lyrics: M Daun]

[Verse 1:]
Far from the borders of sanity,
Mountains of madness,
Even the blind can see.

Another world, another universe,
No sign of blessing,
No sign of curse.

[Chorus 1:]
Get ready to go – NOW
Get ready to fly – HIGH

Old patterns fade away,
Structures fall.

Are you ready to go – NOW
Are you ready to fly – HIGH

In an altered state,
You speed through time and space.

[Post-chorus 2:]
Never too late for an open mind,
A chilling glow running through your spine.
Magic dimension, a parallell membrane,
Ruled by no one, demon or saint.

[Whispers 1:]
Far from the borders of sanity,
Mountains of madness,
Even the blind can see.

Another world, another universe,
No sign of blessing,
No sign of curse.

[Verse 2:]
Never too late for an open mind,
A chilling glow running through your spine.

Magic dimension, a parallell membrane,
Ruled by no one, demon or saint.

[Chorus 2:]
Get ready to go – NOW
Get ready to fly – HIGH

Old patterns fade away,
Structures fall.

Are you ready to go – NOW
Are you ready to fly – HIGH

An altered state,
A different frame of mind.

[Post-chorus 2:]
Far from the borders of sanity,
Mountains of madness,
Even the blind can see.
Another world, another universe,
No sign of blessing,
No sign of curse.

[Whispers 2:]
Never too late for an open mind,
A chilling glow running through your spine.

Magic dimension, a parallell membrane,
Ruled by no one, demon or saint.

[Outro: instrumental]
