There is no explanation what I'm getting through
I’m just a passenger in time
Sitting in the train of memories
Counting every mile of track that takes me back
Cities where we have been, places I have already seen
I close my eyes
When things are getting worse
And I wake up in the new world
That does not hurt
Was this meant for me?
Regret after regret
I drink courage liquid to feel alive so limitless and lost in time
Then I take a deep breath and enjoy all good that’s left inside
Counting every mile of track that takes me back
Time to breakthrough and time to lose myself
I close my eyes and dive into the dark
I'm ready to drop
Till the very last shot
I feast with you all
With ignition and joy
But I know that I will lose my way again
Facing the demons that live inside my head
Try to live through this night and stay alive
And all there will ever be
Is what's happening here
The decisions we make in this moment
Which are based in either love or fear
Everything I gain in life will rot and fall apart
And all that will be left of me
Is what was in my heart
And I know that I will lose my way again
But I will come back, I promise I will
Maybe this will be our last chance to dance
But it will be the one I won't regret

Wanderers

Time is flowing, breaking
In the burning heaven, frozen hell
We're asking the sky for the answers
Cause the kings have lied to us again
Vanish with me in an instant
We'll reappear in the land of ice
Black dust between our fingers
And faces full of scars
Don't pray for me
Die we must
Pieces of time
Made of dust
Don't pray for me
Die we must
Pieces of Time
Made of dust
I want to travel again
Be the hero in a new story
To know what it's like to suffer
Every moment in actual pain
To know the truth and follow my fate
As the world repeats itself again
I've been facing the storms in the sea
I've been crawling thousand miles on my knees
Catching the air trying to breathe
Desperately waiting for someone to save me
I saw the statues pointing out of the dunes
Major cities covered with fumes
I feel that I'm slowly falling asleep
What kind of world will there be without me?
A thousand miles
With just one image in my mind
All that we love we leave behind
To find a land for a different life
I've been facing the storms in the sea
I've been crawling thousand miles on my knees
Catching the air trying to breathe
Desperately waiting for someone to save me
I saw the statues pointing out of the dunes
Major cities covered with fumes
I feel that I'm slowly falling asleep
What kind of world will there be without me?

Billions and billions
Lighthouses stuck at the sky
Billions and billions
Lighthouses so far away
Stuck in the sky
Stuck for a lifetime
To lead or mislead
They make us believe
You struggle to find at least one
But one is not enough, one hundred is too much
Your greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures
The essence of the evolutionary mind
It's how the things are done
At the far end of the sky
And you believe you'll find it anywhere
Even deep underground
Billions and billions
Lighthouses stuck at the sky
To the victim to the beggar and failure
To the ambitious, considerate, saviour
To the wealthy and poor selfish and liar
To hateful to the hopeful, honest, denier
And we still haven't
Been there yet

Detachment
05:09

You can be hateful
You can tell lies
You can betray me
And leave me behind
Also, I'm surfing
Through the dark days
Our sea is the same
But we ride different waves
I don't want to hold you
When you want to drown
I just want to know
That somehow you'll survive
And never have I felt
So deep like this
So detached from my self
And so present in time
How long will I try
How long will I be able to stay
Stay here and fight
It's so hard
It's so hard to understand you
It's so hard to believe in you all
I am calling out to the void
And to the silence filled with beauty
To the footsteps, printed in sand
I wish to see the truth
I am standing on the top of the highest mountain
I am calling out to the void still hear no answers
Distracted from complexity
I start to enjoy every delicate moment in my life
My enlightenment comes with detachment from illusion
Then it explodes and expands eternally

As For Us
04:09

What would you choose
A blissful lie or a despicable truth
The universe is better without your cries
Once and forever in a world of lies
Towers of glass are scraping our skies,
You can build a fortress with your lies,
Manipulation of a simple mind,
Art of the powerful to rule the blind
We just count years by months
And age by what we see
Destroy the essence of the world,
Demolish everything you can't control
The human race lost from the start
Drowning in misery breaking apart
When there's no more light in our eyes,
Dreams fade away and hope dies.
Fear that overruns, shadows of the sun
Taking your last breath out of our lungs
You can go on with your life,
Just live and pretend to be blind
Beloved, be happy and that is all fine
But in a bigger perspective, you'll vanish in time
We just count years by months
And age by what we see
Destroy the essence of the world,
Demolish everything you can't control
The human race lost from the start
Drowning in misery breaking apart
Towers of glass are scraping our skies,
You can build a fortress with your lies,
As for us

Ephemeral God
04:17

Let there be life
Let life bring pain
Mix the elements
With feeling and shame
Bury the origin
Defeat is our fate
But I exist, resist
Wasting energy, it's too late
I'm losing ground
Crying it out loud
Lost and never found
Let's fling the truth
Let's fling the truth out
The thing came, the thing went
Back to the stars
Curse and blessing in one
White face full of scars
Man comes into being
Forced into existence
The path is shining
No way of resistance
A trail of glory
But no choice
The roar of water
Drowns my voice
I'm losing ground
Crying it out loud
Lost and never found
Let's fling the truth out
Sorrow is the price of life
Fulfilment never near
We are locked in illusion
In a reign of fear
Ephemeral god
Far from my creator
Deep space tormentor
Ephemeral god
Far from my creator
Deep space tormentor
Ephemeral god
The thing must hate us
Crushing what's inside of us
Ephemeral god
We are not alone
Living in ignorance
Seeking new dimensions
As we sway in the storm of time

A Thousand Miles
04:53
|

|
I walk a thousand miles alone
To understand what is wrong
To understand that everything is gone
There is no space within me
Where I can put you in
I walk alone
I walk alone
Into the storm
Into my new home
So far away from my self
Fighting with tornadoes in my head
I've broken every rule, yes I've pretended
Just to get through the floods
Cracked my moral code
Lack of love, I'm sick and tired
For our love is never coming
There's no passage through these walls
Where I can pretend everything's fine
The next step is perfection
Denial of what you call misery
Vanish in a second, and burn in the fire of fame
I walk alone
I walk alone
Into the storm
Into my new home
So far away from my self
My kindness is weakness
My strength is what you fear
Less of hate, and more of what?
Plug the holes in the rusty boat
And sail the sea, it might be fun
But we're never gonna reach the shore
No one must prevail, no one must prevail
No one will prevail
No one will prevail
Dead bodies in flames
Where is their gold and fame
We sing and scream again
Majority echo with shame

Aš einu gatve tarp žmonių
Ir jaučiu šviesa mane lydi
Negaliu užmerkti akių
Prieš tave ir tuos kurie tiki
Tų kurie tiki
Niekada nepaliki
Niekada nepaliki
Ar čia dar yra?
Ar vis dar yra?
Kurie skiria kas, tikra, netikra
Mato apgaulę per neskaidrų stiklą
Tai tik šviesa
Kuri mūsų akyse spindi skirtingai
Teisingose rankose dega galingai
Kaip sniegas ištirps
Taip metai praslinks
Bet tu grįši
Pas save
Į save
And I stand up and lift my head up
I see another twinkle in the darkness
Anchored to the truth I know
People come and go
Anchored to the truth I know
But the stars are always there
Shining bright, every night
Fixed to the sky, every night
I just sit and watch quietly
As the shape beside me takes a form
This is what I am, but is this who I want to be?
This place, it's not what it used to be
I want to hear another heartbeat
Until my life turns into ashes

I see how you look at me
There's an eye upon your ear
You're not from this planet
You are far away from here
I try to reach for you
But suddenly you disappear
And in this moment
I realize that you're not real
You're twisting my dreams
Swallowing my beliefs
In this great future
Where love is just a chemistry
We're crashing in the waves
Our ship will sink anyway
So grab my hand and sing along
Cause only anthems will remain
Am I just another meal
Another one you would like to share
Spit my brains out if you're bored
Crush my body if you dare
Gone with the wind, gone with the sin
A memory without a name
We belong right here
You belong to everywhere
Gone with the wind
A memory without a name
Time with you flies
You're twisting my dreams
Swallowing my beliefs
In this great future
Where love is just a chemistry
We're crashing in the waves
Our ship will sink anyway
So grab my hand and sing along
Cause only anthems will remain
Cause only anthems will remain
Cause only anthems will remain

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians!
