1. Try Harder

[Music: Thiago Bianchi, Tito Falaschi, Mike Orlando]
[Lyrics: Thiago Bianchi, Mike Orlando, Saulo Xakol]

Waiting in darkness
Growing inside of you
Living in madness
Lost inside this zoo

I'm trying...
I'm fucking trying...

...out there lies what you might call "purpose"
...out there lies what you might call "future"

We all make mistakes then we learn and we try
To never forsake what we feel deep inside
We live and we love so all that we need is to try

This life may be hard but we all stand our ground
We lend out our hand so we never breakdown
We live and we love so we need to try harder

Hiding in plain sight
Bullets through and through
Lost and broken
Heart split into two

I'm trying...
I'm fucking trying...

...out there lies what you might call "purpose"
...out there lies what you might call "who knows?"

We all make mistakes then we learn and we try
To never forsake what we feel deep inside
We live and we love so all that we need is to try

This life may be hard but we all stand our ground
We lend out our hand so we never breakdown
We live and we love so we need to try harder
Try harder!

2. Reset the Game

[Music: Mike Orlando, Thiago Bianchi]
[Lyrics: Thiago Bianchi, Saulo Xakol]

Now I've found out why
And how this world has come to this
I did not comply
To whatever I'm forced to play
Insane made up laws
In which I had no part or say
No timeout or pause
This is time for the change!

Will I grow old by
Pursuing gold coins
That I don't get why
Are worth more than someone's life?
Before time's over
I'll search for closure
I feel the system is broken
They try to hide
Broken, they try to hide

Are we just mice
Running on a wheel?
Are we being handled
By something or someone?
To leave this place better than we've found
We all have to make a change
So reset the game!
I'm changing this game for best

What's the price of life?
And who's behind the rules of this?
Gambling with our souls
Have no doubt the house always wins
Why everything goes
To those so called "one percent"?
And where's our right to live
With dignity and freedom?

So, is this my fate?
Run after papers
That someone made up
And that's what I don't get why
Before time's begun
Our roles were clear
I know the system is fixed up
For us to work...
Work like a slave and die

Are we just mice
Running on a wheel?
Are we being handled
By something or someone?
To leave this place better than we've found
We all have to make a change
So reset the game!
I'm changing this game for best

Are we just mice
Running on a wheel?
Are we being handled
By something or someone?
To leave this place better than we've found
We all have to make a change
So reset the game!
I'm changing this game for best

Reset the game!
Reset the game!

3. Lie to You

[Music: Mike Orlando, Thiago Bianchi]
[Lyrics: Thiago Bianchi]

The world is mayhem
Pain! Pain!
Prepare for the worst
Gore! Gore!

Your life won't matter
Die! Die!
Nor yet the truth
Fuck! You!

There's no room for the truth no more...

No one to save
Yes, I've lied to you
Secrets and lies
There's no more denials, no!
To live or to die
It's not up to you anymore

The world is losing
Faith! Fate!
All love is gone
Cold! Cold!

The end is coming
Pray! Pray!
In a tongue they know!
Or fuck! You!

Money is the only tongue they know...

No one to save
Yes, I've lied to you
Secrets and lies
There's no more denials, no!
To live or to die
It's not up to you anymore

No one to save
Yes, I've lied to you
Secrets and lies
There's no more denials, no!
To live or to die
It's not up to you anymore

4. Shallow Grave

[Music: Mike Orlando, Thiago Bianchi]
[Lyrics: Thiago Bianchi, Saulo Xakol]

Here again
Defying life
Intuition kicks in
Yielding to heart

Even knowing how it ends
I'm climbing down this well-known path to fall
Hindered by you

And it burns deep down inside
As I lift up seven skies
While you're standing there with crossing arms

Here I am
Like a devil crawling begging for your crumbs
And you won't give me...
God damn you!

Here I stand
Like a beggar hurting in front this shallow grave
I'm falling, I'm crawling
God damn me too!

Changing skin
Chasing sins
I still run in circles
Fearing I fail

Can't you see all I have done?
And can't you see how far I've gone?
For us...
Fighting alone

Shaking inside this lost turmoil
Seven oceans I must boil
While you're watching unimpressed and cold

Here I am
Like a devil crawling begging for your crumbs
And you won't give me...
God damn you!

Here I stand
Like a beggar hurting in front this shallow grave
I'm falling, I'm crawling
God damn me too!

Once again...
A cycle starts
I defy my instincts
Yielding to heart

Even knowing where it's begun
I'm falling down eternally towards you...
Attracted by you

So it makes me wanna die
But I never felt so alive
Maybe this is what I want but don't know...

Here I am
Like a devil crawling begging for your crumbs
And you won't give me...
God damn you!

Here I stand
Like a beggar hurting in front this shallow grave
I'm falling
I'm crawling
God damn me too!

God damn me too!
Here I stand...
God damn me too!
I'm crawling, I'm falling
God damn you!
God damn me too!
I'm falling, I'm crawling
I'm crawling, I'm falling

5. Shadows (Walking Through)

[feat. Orchestra & Scores by Michael Romeo]

[Music: Mike Orlando, Thiago Bianchi, Fernando Quesada]
[Lyrics: Mike Orlando, Thiago Bianchi]

Help, 'cause I feel I'm wearing out
In your reinvented world
Is where I feel so lost?
Can you hear me calling out?

Like I'm trapped inside these walls
Watch me crumble as I fall
Now your voice turns me inside
And in hell I'll watch you burn

I can breathe in silence so peacefully

So I'll walk through shadows
And learn to live another life
I'll walk through shadows
You cast upon me in our time
Instead of helping out
You stood there and watched me sinking
So I'll walk through the shadows of you
And finally say goodbye

Like a thousand falling stones
Watching mountains as they fall
Lose the wind beneath our wings
As I'm praying for it all

This fixation of hurt
Like a switchblade through my heart
Your words eat me alive
And without you...
I can breathe in silence so peacefully

So I'll walk through shadows
And learn to life another life
I'll walk through the shadows
That you cast upon me in our time
Instead of helping out
You stood and watched me sinking
So I'll walk through shadows of you
And finally say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

6. Cosmic Redemption

[Music: Mike Orlando, Thiago Bianchi]
[Lyrics: Thiago Bianchi, Saulo Xakol]

Like water I have no shape or form
Wherever I am is my new "me"!
Like time has its entropy to lead
So sit back and let time do its thing...

So life will hit hard where it hurts
Then it makes you understand...
It's not the end, 'til it ends...

So... Come out and live!
Undress from fear!
Seek comprehension!

Live... To leave your mark
To connect your heart
Cosmic redemption!

From micro to macro life has its way
The flower of life and its geometry
Like trees I must bend the way wind blows
But my roots remind me where I am!

So life will hit hard where it hurts
Then it makes you understand...
It's not the end, 'til it ends...

So... Come out and live!
Undress from fear!
Seek comprehension!

Live... To leave your mark
To connect your heart
Cosmic redemption!

So life will hit hard where it hurts
Then it makes you understand...
It's not the end, 'til it ends...

So... Come out and live!
Undress from fear!
Seek comprehension!

Live... To leave your mark
To connect your heart
Cosmic redemption!

So... Come out and live!
Undress from fear!
Cosmic redemption!

7. Scream! For!! Me!!!

[feat. Mike Portnoy]

[Music: Mike Orlando, Thiago Bianchi]
[Lyrics: Thiago Bianchi]

Once again...
I find myself in a dead end
And every step I take
Brings me much closer to the edge
Seems like life ain't done with me

"When I thought I was finally out...
They just pull me back in..."
Life commands me!

Scream! For!! Me!!!
We can go on and on
As long you won't stop...
Scream! For!! Me!!!
We can go on and on
As long you won't stop...

Constant strain...
I've made "reborn" as my new skin
And every bone I spit
Brings me the right amount of pain
Again, the Cosmos wins...

"When I thought I was finally out...
They just pull me back in..."
Life commands me!

Scream! For!! Me!!!
We can go on and on
As long you won't stop...
Scream! For!! Me!!!
We can go on and on
As long you won't stop...

"When I thought I was finally out...
They just pull me back in..."
Life commands me!

Scream! For!! Me!!!
We can go on and on
As long you won't stop...
Scream! For!! Me!!!
We can go on and on
As long you won't stop...
Scream! For!! Me!!!
We can go on and on
As long you won't stop...
Scream! For!! Me!!!
We can go on and on
As long you won't stop...

8. O Tempo Não Para

[feat. Ney Matogrosso]

[Music: Arnaldo Pires Brandão]
[Lyrics: Agenor De Miranda Araujo Neto (Cazuza)]

Disparo contra o sol
Sou forte, sou por acaso
Minha metralhadora cheia de mágoas
Eu sou o cara

Cansado de correr
Na direção contrária
Sem pódio de chegada ou beijo de namorada
Eu sou mais um cara

Mas se você achar
Que eu 'tô derrotado
Saiba que ainda estão rolando os dados
Porque o tempo, o tempo não para

Dias sim, dias não
Eu vou sobrevivendo sem um arranhão
Da caridade de quem me detesta

A tua piscina 'tá cheia de ratos
Tuas ideias não correspondem aos fatos
O tempo não para

Eu vejo o futuro repetir o passado
Eu vejo um museu de grandes novidades
O tempo não para
Não para não, não para

Eu não tenho data pra comemorar
Às vezes os meus dias são de par em par
Procurando agulha num palheiro
Nas noites de frio é melhor nem nascer
Nas de calor, se escolhe, é matar ou morrer
E assim nos tornamos brasileiros

Te chamam de ladrão, de bicha, maconheiro
Transformam um país inteiro num puteiro
Pois assim se ganha mais dinheiro

A tua piscina 'tá cheia de ratos
Tuas ideias não correspondem aos fatos
O tempo não para

Eu vejo o futuro repetir o passado
Eu vejo um museu de grandes novidades
O tempo não para
Não para não, não para

Dias sim, dias não
Eu vou sobrevivendo sem um arranhão
Da caridade de quem me detesta

A tua piscina 'tá cheia de ratos
Tuas ideias não correspondem aos fatos
Não, o tempo não para

Eu vejo o futuro repetir o passado
Eu vejo um museu de grandes novidades
O tempo não para
Não para

9. Take Control

[feat. David Ellefson]

[Music: Mike Orlando, Thiago Bianchi]
[Lyrics: Saulo Xakol, Thiago Bianchi]

They tell us it's democracy
But that is not the way I see it
If I can only choose between
The bad or worse

A world ruled by oligarchies
Or corporatocracies
Who wins the birth lottery
Inherits all

No sign
Of fight
Just sheer displays of might

Their pens like
Torpedoes
To sink your hopes and freedoms

Inside (We work!)
Their minds (We die!)
They don't care if you live or die

Ha! Ha! Ha! (We're slaves!)
You're a sheep (We die!)
They are laughing at your misery

Take control

Follow me into this "New age"
There's no need to think straight
Choice and will... illusions they create
There's no life, unless you cave
And obey!

You think it's just a paper cut
But somehow you cannot stop the blood
So maybe is time to wake the fuck up!

You're not the buyer you're on-shelf
Whatever you have is theirs to sell
The only thing they want is just you to cope

Now it's time!
To fight!
Realize that you have just one life!

Be like a
Torpedo
And strike their bullshits cargo

Inside (We work!)
Their minds (We die!)
We will never rebel if we're blind!

Ha! Ha! Ha! (We're slaves!)
The joke's on you! (We die!)
We are coming to get ya and

Take control

Follow me into this "New way"!
No more fear to be free!
Choice and will... It's there for us to take!
There's no life, but what we make!
No more bow down or obey!

They tell us it's democracy
But that is not the way I see it
If I can only choose between
The bad or worse

A world ruled by oligarchies
Or corporatocracies
Who wins the birth lottery
Inherits all

Now it's time!
To fight!
Realize that you have just one life!

Be like a
Torpedo
And strike their bullshits cargo

Inside (We work!)
Their minds (We die!)
We will never rebel if we're blind!

Ha! Ha! Ha! (We're slaves!)
The joke's on you! (We die!)
We are coming to get ya and

Take control

Follow me into this "New way"!
No more fear to be free!
Choice and will... It's there for us to take!
There's no life, but what we make!
No more bow down or obey!

10. The Great Filter

[Music: Mike Orlando, Thiago Bianchi]
[Lyrics: Saulo Xakol, Thiago Bianchi]

Beyond the clouds
Or here underground
Greater beings sent to judge us
Long unseen have been around

In a finger snap our lives may end
Are we ready and set for judgment day?
All we're left is begging for our souls
Can we be raptured or let go?

We've been wasting all of our chances
Got no options left except
Pray, change or fucking pay

The Great Filter is near

The fall of man is straight ahead
Our own extinction is on its way
The price we'll pay for not evolving
Never growing
Even knowing it's late
Is staring at death in the face

Watching the crowd
Messing around
They have deemed us liabilities
From this world to the next one

Could we transcend this barring line
To a higher type of humankind?
But we're still busy waging wars
Against ourselves, against our core

This is our last chance to take a leap
In evolution ways, so we'll pay, pay, fucking pay

The Great Filter is near

The fall of man is straight ahead
Our own extinction is on its way
The price we'll pay for not evolving
Never growing
Even knowing it's late
Is staring at death in the face

In a finger snap our lives may end
Are we ready and set for judgment day?
All we're left is begging for our souls
Can we be raptured or let go?

We've been wasting all of our chances
Got no options left except
Pray, change or fucking pay

The Great Filter is near

The fall of man is straight ahead
Our own extinction is on its way
The price we'll pay for not evolving
Never growing
Even knowing it's late
Is staring at death in the face

Staring at death in the face
Not evolving
Never growing
