Hey, is something wrong there?
Hey, why the long stare?
No matter where you run
No matter what you do
No matter who you call
The Black Hand... is going to get you
Hey, you seem distracted
Something’s wrong, the way you’re acting
What have you done?
Who did you cross?
Can’t be undone,
now all is lost
Hey, was it worth it?
You saw the shine, and you sure bit
Yeah, the Black Hand
Hey, you didn’t have a choice
I know, you had no choice
Yeah, the Black Hand

False Flag

Early morning, December 5th, We got a mission let’s get on with it
Who said reasons? What reasons? Which side? We’ve got orders, from on high
So strange, like any other morning, The shots came, without warning
I feel like an enemy inside, False flag, it’s the Devil’s pride
We load in, to an unmarked plane, Do you think we’ll make it home again?
We transport, to an unknown location, I feel nothing, it’s all automation
So that’s it, the fuse is lit, And I know, so I’ll have to go
The blame starts, you can’t stop it, That’s my service, that’s my service
Target found, we’re locked in. Is this my duty? Is this a sin?
Mission accomplished, we head back. Nobody knows... Hey, what was that?

You are the Oracle of light - That cuts a swathe through darkest night
The guide to all humanity - You are the breath, the life, the dream
Le temps, De partir, Est venu
Sephera (Sephera), City on a hill
Sephera (Sephera), So pure and beautiful
Oh Sephera
You preached the love of liberty - The worship of egality
But in a blink all that was gone - Wiped away by the rich and strong
Le temps, De partir, Est venu
A promise unfulfilled
Oh Sephera
We've seen it all before - The hope the past would be ignored
To sell a life that didn't exist. And quiet those who'd resist.
You're called the Oracle of light - But you're the Tartarus of night
Le temps, De partir, Est venu.

One and One

I go uptown, to get downtown
I keep my distance, when I want to get close
I get uptight, to feel alright
I close my eyes, when I want to see
I tune out, to dial in
I get down, to move up
I step back, to go forward
I go dark, when I need light
You want to know, what’s happened to me?
Well, in my world...one and one make three
I cut outside, to get inside
I go straight, to get around
I yell loudest, when I’m thoughtless
I grow quiet, when I want to be heard
When everything, seems upside-down
That’s when I, I come around
You want to know, what’s happened to me?
Well in my world... one and one make three

In This World
03:16
|

|
I get no light, from these cold skies
It drains the joy, from all passersby
I get no warmth, from these cold streets
Only contempt, from everyone I meet
I’ve opened up my eyes, and I’ve come to realize
There ain’t nothing, In this World
They have a place, for me to stay
To work and slave, until my dyin’ day
The time has come now...for me and you girl
To turn and run now...toward our freedom
‘Cause all this hangin’ around will only put us in the ground

Violet

We were children, long ago, and we did what we were told
She was brooding, cold and lonely, with a darkness in her eyes
On the playground, in the creek, at first I thought that she was meek
Then the temper, then the rage, then the sobbing, when it paid
Whoa, Violet’s in control again
Whoa, Violet’s gained control again
Such a seeming innocence, pale and thin, afraid to speak
Pulled aside and whispered low, now I see it, now I know
What goes on inside her mind? Scared to death you’ve crossed some line
What’s that darkness in her eyes? Lock the doors and draw the blinds
We grew older, she got colder, had to always get her way
I came then to realize, there’s a demon in her soul

No Way Out
03:42

There’s no way out, no way out
I move left, you shoot right
I try tenderness, you want a fight
I try to talk it out, you won’t speak
If I grow quiet, something’s wrong with me
There’s no way out, no way out
How did it come to this?
Ready for violence
I see your hand
You said you loved me, now you say that you don’t know me?
You say you hate me, tell me what has changed?
I’ve tried everything, to make it right again
I know one thing, baby, I’m dead set on gone
There’s no way out, no way out (x2)
How did it come to this?
Ready for violence
I see your face

Mr. Lees - tell me what you’ve seen
And about all life’s mysteries
Mr. Lees - can’t you help me please?
Is this life real, or is just a dream?
I’m feeling so confused and I don’t know what to do
Standing here feeling more than blind
The world is drifting by in the twinkling of an eye
Is this all there is or just a piece of the design?
Mr. Lees can’t you help me please?
It seems this world has gone off the beam

Mind's Eye
03:44

Faces melting to ashen grey,
Bodies in fields in death they lie
You don’t know what I see, in my mind’s eye
Burning buildings and rivers aflame,
Piled up bones and blood red tides
You can’t see what I see, in my mind’s eye
You don’t know what I know, in my mind’s eye
It’s like pain, what’s the cost?
It’s my pain, what’s my cost?
Broken soldiers who pray for death,
Haunted children who cry at night
You don’t know what I see, in my mind’s eye
Mushroom clouds and darkened skies,
Stars exploding into the night
You can’t see what I see, in my mind’s eye
You don’t know what I know, in my mind’s eye
I turn my eyes up to the pouring rain
I wonder if it’s going to come again
I’m gonna chase you down, Yeah, I’m gonna hunt you down
I start slow but then I build to speed, I’m gonna fulfill every need
In my mind’s eye, Yeah, in my mind’s eye

Love Search Algorithm

Lonely, like an alley cat
I’ve been looking for you, since the Big Event
Stripped down, to my very core
I’ve got to find you Violet, in this brand new world
They’ve got a Love Search Algorithm,
if I had your number, I could plug it in
What were you? 8570319?
They degaussed my frontal lobe, erased my mind
A black hand, a false flag in the night
We were separated at the end of time
I feel you, I can tell you’re there
I’m going to find you Violet but I don’t know where
Yeah I was lonely, feeling stripped down
You were the only, one who came around
Yeah we were split up, by the big event
And now I’m searching, for you again
Scrambled, my CPU is fried
I’m booted from the network and I don’t know why
But I sense you, I can taste your vibe
I’m going to find you Violet, if it takes all night

Hope in the Darkness
06:02

Out beyond the mountains, Out beyond the sky
And the event horizon, Through my nebuli
Leave behind tomorrow. Leave behind today
No sentimental sorrows. To get in the way
There is Hope in the darkness
There is Pain in the light
There is hope in the dark
We are now just a mystery. Seen from afar
A forgotten history. Set upon a star
There is Hope in the darkness
There is Pain in the light
There is Love for the heartless
As there's day for the night
There is depth in the surface
Only seen by the blind
There is hope in the dark
Out beyond the mountains, Out beyond the sea
And the golden horizon, Is where you'll bury me
Leave behind tomorrow, Leave behind today
No sentimental sorrows, To hold you in their sway
