KILL THE DRAGON
(Solo : LL)
I keep on marching through the mist that clouds my eyes
Somehow I follow blindly whoever leads the way
This can’t go on any longer
I need to break these chains
And the more that I resist
The stronger I am tied
Kill the dragon, fight for supremacy
Kill the dragon, the war inside my head
Between the superstition and all the evil lies
A path of endless sorrow and a will to hold on
Why am I so weak
No one to rescue me
I just can’t resist the urge
The more it beckons me
Kill the dragon, fight for supremacy
Kill the dragon, the war inside my head
Kill the dragon, fight to survive this war
Kill the dragon, the battle rages on
(Solo: BS/ LL)
(repeat chorus)
On and on and on

Staring At The Stars

STARING AT THE STARS
There is nothing but the darkness
That rests inside of my soul
Have I reached the end of hope
Has humanity lost its course
How could I not believe the fact
That we are not the crown of creation
So, I seek help from afar
To find, to find a solution
I’m staring at the stars
Can someone please take me away
I’m staring at the stars
I want to live for another day
The pollution, the extinction
Nature’s down and we’re all guilty
While we’re watching the ice is melting
But no one wants to leave their place, no
It’s not our fault when they seek refuge
We just profit from ammunition
And our leaders just care about their ratings
And campaign contributions
(Solo: LL)
(repeat chorus)
Another day

QUEEN OF SIN
Strange signs on the horizon
Black Arrows pointing at your heart
You see her standing there, enchanting you
One Touch and you’re helpless
Submissive and defenseless
You’ll follow orders, uttered from her mouth
Kneel for your pleasure
Kneel before the mistress
She’s got you under control
She’s the queen, the queen of sin (repeat)
When you feel her lips on yours
Like a poison there is no cure for
She made you her slave, eternally
Doomed to follow her
To be possessed by her
Forever…under her spell
She’s the queen, the queen of sin (repeat)
Nothing could prevent you from getting pulled in
Too late to escape, you’re under her skin
Queen of sin
She’s the queen, the queen of sin
She’s your queen
(Solo: LL)
Kneel for her pleasure
Kneel before your mistress
You are under her control
She’s the queen, the queen of sin (repeat)
Queen of sin

Fall From Glory

FALL FROM GLORY
Through space and time, I moved freely past
Centuries of blood flowing through my veins
My eyes have seen stars being born
I've watched the skies erupt with life
I was there when man came forth
I was there when his faith failed
The morning sun brought rays of doubt
When brother envy killed his own
Empires were built and then they fell
Ashes to dust and flesh from bone
Greed and lust took over his power
Man's future soon turned sour
Fall from glory - my heart is boiling over with rage
Fall from glory - hear the scream of my outrage
I will protect the laws of old
Living among this fallen race
Destroying all that once was good
Creating a most forsaken place
This is not what I wished for
For I am the watcher not the saviour
Fall from glory - my heart is boiling over with rage
Fall from glory - this is the anthem of the estranged
Fall from glory - tragic death of a dream
Fall from glory - hear the echoes of my scream
(Solo: BS)
There will be no more roads to follow
Only grieving times of sorrow
(repeat chorus)

I Am Omega

I AM OMEGA
I’m driving all day through this town
Through abandoned cars and debris
Looting for food and gas
To bring back to my fortress
How long can it go on like this
Before I've got to move to survive
At night I hide and stay
The hunter becomes the prey
I am Omega, my time is running out
I’m the legend history has warned you about
I’m the last man on earth
I’m the only one left alive
Maybe justice will be served
When I kill these creatures absurd
The bloodsucking freaks of the night
I was the one who found the cure
But there was no one left to save
As day turns into night
No more people to walk the light
I can see the calendars hang
Imagine phones are ringing
But there is nobody there
Just the ones who kill for fear
I am Omega, the last one of my kind
I’m the legend they were raised to be afraid of
I’m the last man on earth
I’m the only one left alive
Maybe justice will be served
When I kill these creatures absurd
The bloodsucking freaks of the night
(Solo: LL)
I am Omega, my time is running out
I’m the legend history has warned you about

The Power of Evil

THE POWER OF EVIL
The world is ruled by the devil and his peers
This world belongs to the beastly companies
So how can it be that you follow them blindly
Everyone falling into their trap, so cluelessly
And now temptation is closing in
Your senses set to hunt and win
Whatever obstacle is in your way
Get it off your back to ensure pure gain
Fight the power of evil - Fight within yourself
Fight the power of evil - Society will steal your soul
Fight the power of evil - Fight for everyone
Fight the power of evil - Eliminate the evil on this earth
The corporations need no air to breathe
Tax you to hell, can your ends meet
A grave error in your judgement
When you made the deal and shook the hand
You strive all day to regain your costs
To pay it all back with your workforce
The bureaucrats put you in chains
Burn all the fuel until nothing remains
Fight the power of evil - Fight within yourself
Fight the power of evil - Society will steal your soul
Fight the power of evil - Fight for everyone
Fight the power of evil - Don’t you see the evil in this world
(Solo: LL/BS/LL)
Fight the power of evil - Fight within yourself
Fight the power of evil - Society will steal your soul
Fight the power of evil - Fight for everyone
Fight the power of evil - Eliminate the evil on this earth
Fight the power of evil - Fight within yourself
Fight the power of evil - Society has run its course
Fight the power of evil - Fight for everyone
Fight the power of evil – Don’t you see the evil that men do

DAWN CITY
A small world where people go to evolve
Without being torn apart by their worldly needs
They want to be free and turn towards the divine
An aspiration to urge for something truer
Auroville belongs to no one in particular
A bridge between the worlds, the future and the past
Unending education and constant progression
The true embodiment of unity
No money, no government - No laws, no religion
This unique place where youth never ages
The foundation of a life that never judges you
Come and open your heart, body, and soul
You’re living free in unconditional harmony
Let go of all preconceptions
And open up to a new society
Your life will never be the same
Ascending in the city of the dawn
We belong to no nation, to no civilisation
We obey to no master, to no social convention
The divine we're searching with all our will and inner self
It’s not sacrificing, if it's for eternal delight
A self-selected exile, a professed utopia
A new age metropolis, a stateless state, that's where you are
It's a modification of terrestrial creation
We're transforming into something non-conforming
Expressions of all our consciousnesses
Leads to the shore of our next species
No fences surrounding us, no leaders suppressing us
An alternative way of living to work out the power of the divine
(Solo: LL)
They all come to seek a cure
The healed ones are leaving, the rest is still searching
Can we be certain that they'll ever find
Proclaimed consciousness beyond the mind
(Solo: LL)
Higher learning has to unfold
And reveal what already has been in us
Open yourself to joy and harmony
Like a flower opens up to the sun above
True self is the purest teacher
To withhold one minds paradox
Change perception and change reality
Come and live with us in dawn city

WORLD OF WIRES
So many worlds within worlds, imitation of your soul
A surrogate takes your place, you're no longer in control
Dwell in a future that no one believed in
Until we're in dependency
In too deep in the crystallized age
A virtual humanity
Are we still men in caves, staring at our own reflection
The principle of modern times, a constant connection
Seduced by change that we all can believe in
Eternal power supply
Led astray by the unruly fact
That on wires we rely
Slaves to technology, chipped by society, big data's alive
A billion entities, can't find reality, a simulation of life
We're universal inserts, born into a world, in a world of wires
(Solo: LL)
Slaves to technology, chipped by society, big data's alive
A billion entities, can't find reality, a simulation of life
We're universal inserts, digital converts, completely absurd
Born into a world, in a world of wires
We're living in a world of wires (repeat)
Now they run it wireless
That doesn't mean that nothing's there, to fry your brain

Path of Fate

PATH OF FATE
I’m no victim of circumstance
I shall not cry, nor mourn aloud
This might be my only chance
Battered and bruised, but still unbowed
Into the darkness that covers me
To play the game of seek and find
I hope the ancients watch over me
My soul is pure, unstained my mind
Beyond the gates of a thousand suns
The possibilities for the chosen one
Free me now - From the strain
To reach my goal – To be unchained
To save myself – I open gates
For those who dare
Progress awaits
On the path of fate
(Solo: BS)
The quest that is my lifetime
To find and follow the little signs
To endure all punishment
On the path to enlightenment
Beyond the lies of a coeval world
Eternal truth remains unfurled
Free me now - From the strain
To reach my goal – To be unchained
To save myself – I open gates
For those who dare
Progress awaits
On the path of fate
