Inferno 01:07
Where is the spark in this inferno? I have been searching, and seeking, and hunting. Where is the spark? I am mesmerized, emotionally blunting. Burn it to the ground just to find the spark.

Lightbringer 02:56
Surrounded by naive gods Unable to care for their creation Showing no grace Witness this godless place! Lightbringer, Blessed with foresight Provoking the god’s anger A greater sacrifice To save the human race Thief of the torch Noble intentions Against all odds Titan Suffer eternal torture Bring enlightenment To end the tyranny of faith I can not die – not again! Architect of humankind Disobeyed for countless times Aware of the consequences Torchbearer shine your light Disperse the night, spending solace Cosmic entities blinded by their hybris You are nothing Life is just a side quest Cosmic entities blinded by their hybris you are nothing! If only gods can judge you, who can judge the gods? Against all odds Lightbringer, Blessed with foresight Provoking the god’s anger A greater sacrifice To save the human race Thief of the torch Noble intentions Against all odds His godless crime was to be kind!

Lay Actor 02:43
Wannabe puppeteer, your role in this glossy trash I can see your strings, fool I can see your hands Wannabe puppeteer, your role in this glossy trash I can see your strings, fool I can see your hands Caught between frustration, anger and amusement You think your are inscrutable But you are lucent Lay actor, dance for me! Dance, dance, dance for me! Lay actor, dance for me! I am laughing about your disguise I am laughing about your disguise You try to break me You try to change me You try to seize control But you fail Caught between frustration, anger and amusement You think your are inscrutable But you are lucent Wannabe puppeteer, your role in this glossy trash I can see your strings, fool I can see your hands Lay actor, dance for me! Dance, dance, dance for me! Lay actor, dance for me! I am laughing about your disguise You try to break me You try to change me You try to seize control But you fail There's something inside me you crave to possess If you keep pushing me straight to the edge you might be the one falling down Lay actor, you will fall down!

He's on a mission, doesn't know what it is Reflection of the glass: A stranger to the face he sees Are the feet he walks on truly his own A crack in the dam wall Identity unknown Where is he going? He pretends to know it Lost in a moment of clarity He feels like his parody He's on a mission, doesn't know what ist is These memories are not his own He's not alone Reality starts to crumble and finally he sees through But he'll never understand that he is you Who is, who is he? He has gone astray inside himself Who is, who is he? He has found a way, a way to get lost. Where is he going? He pretends to know it Lost in a moment of clarity He feels like his parody He's on a mission, but it never felt like his decision These thoughts feel forced Is this his curse not to be the main character of his universe? (of his universe) Mission accomplished or is this just a trap A crack in the dam wall Identity defect Moments of clarity set him off track A crack in the dam wall Identity defect Mission accomplished or is this just a trap A crack in the dam wall Identity defect Moments of clarity set him off track A crack in the dam wall Identity defect Who is he? He has gone astray Who is he? He has found a way A way to the key for the chest with the map that shows him he's still lost Another crack in the dam wall Just another damn crack in the dam wall Identity unknown It's just a crack in the damn wall

A presence undeniable A glimpse of arrogance Treated with respect Mistaken as fear He has lived here And he does still Epicenter of anger Source of free will His name ist well known and if you don't Your home gets marked and he will come for you Above the average, bro Heavy and low Pissing your mother's name into the snow Savage you know No matter how far you go You'll never be equal To Rattlesnake Joe If you wanna start a fight with Rattlesnake Joe You gotta end up six feet below And so the story goes Blessed with everything a man can wish for Wait a second, what was that Power, status, joy and a fat-titted slut in his bed He will never die, he will never die He will never die, death can not touch you twice The story of Rattlesnake Joe To good to be true Death will come for me Death will come for you He will never die, he will never die He will never die, death can not touch you twice Money is nothing for Rattlesnake Joe 'cause he won in the lottery twenty years ago He awakens and falls asleep He can not distinguish the world of the living from the kingdom of dreams, from the kingdom of dreams

Rise with the force of a storm Rise, expand to a higher form Leave behind all restrictions Can't tell reality from fiction Times is running out Rain falling from black clouds Beneath the dark sky the tide is rising high Try to escape the gravity Experimenting with my sanity Rise, rise, rise, rise Rise with the force of a storm Rise, expand to a higher form Leave behind all restrictions Can't tell reality from fiction All I crave for is to stop the rainfall I inhale the polluted air Echoes of my past drive me into despair Everyday I can feel the weight of the mask that I wear Noise everywhere Escaping the gravity Can not tell reality from fiction Where did we begin Inhaling polluted air Is this really happening? This world was fucking lost as the fools rushed in Falling down like a loose stone down the treadmill again and again Again and again Why should you exists as a hollow shell A glimpse of the pain you hide so well Why can't you see with eyes wide open No words left to be spoken All I crave for (all I crave for) is to stop the rainfall (stop the rainfall) All I crave for (all I crave for) is to stop the rainfall (stop the rainfall) Times is running out Rain falling from black clouds Beneath the dark sky the tide is rising high Try to escape the gravity Experimenting with my sanity Rise, rise, rise, rise again Times is running out Rain falling from black clouds
