SONIC SKIES LYRICS

1. Refuge

Our feet are burning
But still a lot of miles to go
So many oceans crossed
Our lungs collapsed but we still move
The reaper watching our souls
Deciding who to choose

Dead heart
There is no promised land
Dead heart
Our dreams and hopes are built on sand
There is no promised land
Our dreams and hopes are built on sand
The tyrants we run from they live in ourselves

The wolves are hunting us
Their hearts are double-crossed
The wolves are hunting us
Their hearts are double-crossed

Tracing our footsteps
Erasing them from the soil

We're reaping what you sow

Black heart
There is no promised land
Black heart
Our dreams and hopes are built on sand
There is no promised land
Our dreams and hopes are built on sand
The tyrants we run from they live in ourselves

No one will run from home
If there would be any hope left
One world one refuge
Our hearts are double-crossed

The wolves are hunting us
Their hearts are double-crossed
The wolves are hunting us
Their hearts are double-crossed

2. Empire

We are slaves
To a broken system
To build up sorrows our hearts are drowned in fear
Praise the consumption
Receive redemption by selling souls and paralyzing minds
Spread the corruption
Receive redemption by selling souls and paralyzing minds
Mesmerizing

You are the virus
We are the antidote
Man-made eradication
We are the antidote
Craving for salvation

Clutch at your master
Self-absorbed but loyal to the end
Clutch at your master
Self-absorbed but loyal to the end
Loyal to the end

In this golden cage made of bones
And made of dreams
And long forgotten hopes
We all are slaves
To a broken system
An empire to be only skin and bones
Skin an bones

You are the virus
We are the antidote
Man-made eradication
We are the antidote
Craving for salvation

No walls
No borders
Maybe we stumble but we won't fall
No rules
No orders
No slaves
And no fucking masters

3. Polaris

Do you remember
The chances we're given?
We chose who we are
Every minute is driven by all our decisions
Seconds run fast
So we made every moment count

Did we made every moment count?

One night one night
One night can change it all
It's cold in September
One night one night
And darkness has taken its toll
But still I remember you

No steps back
Time just runs in one direction

No steps back
Clocks ticking in one direction

Time runs fast
So we have to live faster

Daydreamer
What do you see when your eyes are closed
Your thoughts exposed
Nothing can bring back these moments again
Seconds run fast
Now I make every moment count

One night one night
One night can change it all
It's cold in September
One night one night
And darkness has taken its toll
Still I remember

One night one night
One night can change it all
It's dark in September
One night one night
And darkness has taken its toll
Still I remember you

4. Gears

Pathetic pictures
Made to confuse and to control
Glorious anthems
By the voices of corruption

They try to fill our hearts
With the flavour of despair
Mass production
Mass consumption
Sowing doubts to reap our fear

We sold our self-determination
Abandoned every piece of mind
Every piece of mind
And nothing will be left to save
As time goes by

As time goes by

Another gear in this machine
Because to decide
Never was an option
We are the gears in this machine
They never tried
To keep our souls alive

They try to fill our hearts
With the flavour of despair
Mass production
Mass consumption
Sowing doubts to reap our fear

We gave our self-determination
'Til all falls down

Another gear in this machine
Because to decide
Never was an option
We are the gears in this machine
They never tried
To keep our souls alive

5. Hearts

When we were kids
We had the world at our feet
With wooden swords
And without fear
The knights of kingdom gone
Nothing was safe
Nothing secure
It was just us against them all
Just us against the world

Burning

This burning fire
Has kept us alive
Through all the dark times
It helped us survive

Our past has brought us here
Once in a life time
We have it in our hearts
And no one tears it apart
Our past has brought us here
Unwritten guidelines
We keep it in our hearts
And nothing tears it apart

We were just kids
We made a lot of mistakes
But we've never seen the darkness
The brave and the bold
Nothing was safe
Nothing secure
It was just us against them all
Against them all

6. Loathe

I've heard this shit a thousand times before
Spare your words, 'cause I get bored!
I'm so sick of this entertainment
These false ambitions that you are standing for
Your kind infection
Of weaker minds
The one eyed will be king
Among the blind

Pray for forgiveness
Pray for release
Pray for forgiveness
This heart can not be tamed
Pray for forgiveness
Pray for relief
Pray for forgiveness
A heart you can not break

One second to change everything
One bullet to change everything

Pray for forgiveness
Pray for relief
Pray for forgiveness

7. Rosebud

Piece by piece I deconstruct my soul
Erase my eyes
To rebuild my live and rise up from the ashes

After black comes grey and everything turns back to black
I've been through this a thousand times so I take what I get

Burn it down
Clean it up
Then repeat the process
Crush it down
Keep the shards
To build a better self

Piece by piece I deconstruct my soul
Rebuild my live and rise up from the ashes

I smash my face against the wall
The storm, the flood, the calm
It takes some time to resurrect
To make me feel alive
Through heaven
And purgatory
It takes some time to resurrect
Again I feel alive

Conformity
The great collective everyone as one
It was never build for me

Burn it down
Clean it up
Then repeat the process
Crush it down
Keep the shards
And rise up from the ashes

I smash my face against the wall
The storm, the flood, the calm
It takes some time to resurrect
To make me feel alive
Through heaven
And purgatory
It takes some time to resurrect
Again I feel alive

8. Ikarus

I am dreamer
But I'm a liar
In the blink of an eye
The world is set on fire
I am of strong faith
I'm a seducer
No strings attached
No slave to a master

In the distance someone calls me
In the distance I still hear these words

Ikarus
Beware of the sun!
Escape from damage because the damage is already done
Ikarus
This is far to high
This is far to high
Ikarus
With melting wings towards the sun
This is a metaphor of what we have become

I feel the warm embrace
I feel the light attracting me
I feel my burning skin
I feel my burning skin

I am pathetic
But I'm an optimist
Remove the cowards
Weakness does not exist
I am a rebel
Against my nature
Augmenting myself
Straight into future

Ikarus
Beware of the sun!
Escape from damage because the damage is already done
Ikarus. This is far to high.
This is far to high
Ikarus
With melting wings towards the sun
This is a metaphor of what we have become

9. Wanderer

If god is on our side, then who is with them?
Divinity of purpose, to fight the demons within
Prayers of the dumb, the deaf to lead the blind
We slip through space and time, already lost our grip.

Wanderer
If only we could see the world through your eyes
Wanderer
If only we could see the world through your eyes

Abandoned life
Abandoned hope
Abandoned hearts
Slowly die

Feed the inner demons to keep the doubts alive
Infected hearts will reclaim faith to keep their hopes alive

If god is on our side, then who is with them?

10. Reach

Everyone is connected 24/7
Living life through a phone line
The digital heaven
Became a social hell
Zeroes an ones don't fit us well

Sinking deeper
Into the rabbit hole
We are all connected
Caught in the undertow
Sinking deeper
Trough the undertow

Fibers and wires
Good friends are so hard to find
We boost our reach
Only to loose ourselves
We loose ourselves

Binary impulses
Watch the lives behind glass
Pretenders
Lies through a looking glass

It's time to disconnect
Reclaim your live

Fibers and wires
Good friends are so hard to find
We boost our reach
Only to loose ourselves
We loose ourselves
Digital demons
We worship the addiction

11. Drifter

12. Epilogue

This is an endless conflict
And we're all involved, you and I
Old mistakes in future days
We celebrate our fall

Where hate surrounds us
The wolves are at our door
Where death surrounds us
The wolves are at our door

The wolves are at our door
Society will prove its worth
When hope falls apart

You bring the fire
We carry the gasoline

We trade bullets for our souls
Trade poverty for oil
Old mistakes in future days
We celebrate our fall

With open wounds and broken bones
No button for reset
I said it once and I say it again
This place is dead

So it begins
Under a darkened sky the fields of hope are set on fire
We are the witness of this worlds final days
We are the witness when all is washed away
