Alpha Draconis (2010)

01. ELEMENTAL FORCES

Grope through the darkness in the mist
I shall never miss the sun
Drowning in deep blue
Life it gives and then it takes it away
Suffocation, I can’t inhale
The invisible is not here
Somehow, the earth is shaking
Suddenly the elements smashing
Everything in their way
Without regard for man or animal
Nothing we can do, we cannot control
When the Forces move out to destroy
(Solo: A. Curty)
Burned by the sun, frozen in the arctic ice
Blinding storms raging, tidal waves crashing
Quaking, erupting, nature will blow you away
No place for hiding
No one to negotiate
See how weak we are
What you took for granted turns against you
The elements smashing
Everything in their way
Without regard for man or animal
Nothing we can do, we cannot control
When the Forces move out to destroy
Out to destroy

02. THE NEW LORDSHIP

The wired war is upon the world
Start the fires, command the bomb squad
Destroy the shelters, everything’s disassembled
Make the children homeless
Hear the women cry
Face the terror speechless
See all brave men die
They fell
For hell
So we can be free
And obey the new lordship
(Solo: C. Schafer)
The towers fell and the bridges are burning
Streets are debris and the cultures are drowning
Another Phantom state is rising from the ashes
Rip them off of their pride
Steal ‘em all they’re worth
Keep ‘em beg for mercy
Leave ‘em lying there
So the Lot
Shall rot
So we can be free
And obey the new lordship
(Solo: A. Curty)

03. SINGLE WARNING

You are now afraid to walk the streets
Not supposed to feel safe and warm
No natural reaction you’re able to hold
Morph into a robot only here to serve
The only thing I need is global security
I am willing to free, to free my identity
You shall never question our authority
We define your laws, take the power for our profit and overrule you
I don’t believe in things that I can’t see
I have a right to know and they show it on a screen
Don’t you see how they’re playing with me?
Couldn’t believe they’re fooling with you too
Expect no storm warning
I give you a single
Single warning
A hint, this clue that let’s you open up and doubt
This unseen scene, this unheard noise, a fake that you exposed
Still you got nothing, but a single warning
Still you got nothing, but a single warning
(Solo: A. Curty)
We shall believe in only what they want us to think it’s real
You were born into a world, created by their will
We have to ignore what is going on behind us
But how can I forget, when I found proof
Don’t you see how they’re playing with me?
Couldn’t believe they’re fooling with you too
Expect no storm warning
I give you a single
Single warning

04. THE INTERROGATION

Blackness
Don’t know if it’s night or day
No one to help me
Locked in
Woken up every hour of today
To feed me poison
Interrogation
Threatens my soul – Questions
All they do is breaking my will
With vicious pain- Turmoil
My mind is being torn from inside
I start eating from his hand
Interrogation
Demolish my soul
(Solo: C. Schafer)
First he breaks your will
Then destroys your mind
I can’t seem to fight it
Lose my individual self
Make me slave
Make me a whore
Where is the truth and what is it for? – Interrogation
Crucify my soul
Burnt brain
I begin to be someone else than me
I’m changing inside
Shut down
Another zombie risen again
A model citizen – Interrogation
Is your black throne

05. THE POWERS THAT BE

Creative Control over the World
The path has been made for you to fail
Like Puppet masters guiding the Strings
Just make sure to follow their ways
Treated like slaves, numbered, not named
Abused like figures in a chess-game
Made impossible to kill the king
A conspiracy from the ministry
For the powers that be
Steal your face
Delete your life
In Days of Grace
For the powers that be
Blind your eyes
Break your will
Until it dies
(Solo: D. Luterbacher)
Living in a police state
You’re hunted down, driven into
A corner attack, if you can stand up against them
Enjoy your victory as long as it lasts
For the powers that be
Steal your face
Delete your life
In Days of Grace
For the powers that be
Blind your eyes
Break your will
Until it dies

07. TRIAL AND ERROR

One ship, one fool
Never reaching the shore
No way, no goal
Where’s an entrance, where’s a door?
One step, beyond
Hidden in plain sight
No return, no backspace
I follow the inner light
But I can’t control my intuition
I know if I search, I will find
The land, beneath our feet
The holy city of Shamballah
(Solo: C. Schafer)
How bad is my timing?
Have I tried and tried enough?
Has the test of time passed by yet?
A Legend never fails
In the dark of my memories
If the spirits still alive
In the age of Ignoramus
The King of Kings will rise
Trial and Error: A World underground
Trial and Error: Rulers from Terra
Trial and Error: No one returned
Trial and Error: You’ll never find
Shamballah
City of Forever, Temple of the Gods
Passage through the world, in Tunnels of Light
On wings of a bird, hovering crafts
Fountains of Creation, mighty Vril-Force
(Solo: A. Curty)
