We Are Synthesized Death screams on the dance floor Never missing a beat Date bait for the dead at heart The young and lifeless We did this once before We can do it again Condemned to imperfections We perfected This bloodsport can't be bothered to be Accounting for the demons inside This replica This mimicry Just give it up We are synthesized Your prodigy Your enemy Just live it up We are synthesized Drone clones will take the stage I've been counting the days Under the coma lights It's now or never We did this once before We can do it again Condemned to imperfections We perfected This bloodsport can't be bothered to be Accounting for the demons inside This replica This mimicry Just give it up We are synthesized Your prodigy Your enemy Just live it up We are synthesized This replica This mimicry Just give it up We are synthesized Your prodigy Your enemy Just live it up We are synthesized

Living On The Edge Of Tragedy Doomed from the start and carried to the end Bad luck comes your way when you're like me Comedy is lost to those left in line Too old to live and too dead to die There is nothing they can do When you know your destiny There is nothing they can say To make it better Take me to a place where I will be Living on the edge of tragedy Love is just the killer in this play You can always count on me to be Living on the edge of tragedy Love is just a filler in this game If you never win, you can say you tried Irony looks good on you and I Poisoned by the truth, Rescued by deceit Karma creeps in to kiss you goodnight There is nothing they can do When you know your destiny There is nothing they can say To make it better Take me to a place where I will be Living on the edge of tragedy Love is just the killer in this play You can always count on me to be Living on the edge of tragedy Love is just a filler in this game Surviving is lying what can we do now? In dreams I am dying but I know There is nothing they can do When you know your destiny There is nothing they can say To make it better Take me to a place where I will be Living on the edge of tragedy Love is just the killer in this play You can always count on me to be Living on the edge of tragedy Love is just a filler in this game

Deeper 03:34
lyrics

Deeper From the underground, we will invoke A vision lost, a vision found This mystery, our philosophy Your anathema - breaking away We are the reflection We are the emotion You cannot deny that True art is: "Suffering" I know it I feel it This goes Deeper From the misanthrope, you can understand What brings us hope, and takes us down These broken dreams, you have betrayed Will stay with us, until the end We are the reflection We are the emotion You cannot deny that True art is: "Suffering" Subculture of the nameless And we're the messengers Expressions persecuted All others will see We are the reflection We are the emotion You cannot deny that True art is: "Suffering" I know it I feel it This goes Deeper

In Humanity 04:03
lyrics

In Humanity Carve out the shapes that make us cold And sweep the rest under the rug We'll take what's there to get us by No matter who we hurt And judgement is passed Hypocrisy, bleeding through You know it In every word we speak You know it In every action You know it This, in humanity Is our legacy, I can't lie I have lost my faith in the human race This plague has spread beyond control There's no way to contain it now Destruction is our heritage Welcome to the fold And judgement is passed Hypocrisy, bleeding through You know it In every word we speak You know it In every action You know it This, in humanity Is our legacy, I can't lie I have lost my faith in the human race We spread like A cancer Infecting The world And judgement is passed Hypocrisy, bleeding through You know it In every word we speak You know it In every action You know it This, in humanity Is our legacy, I can't lie I have lost my faith in the human race

Indestructible 03:45

Indestructible What's broken will stay It's better this way When nothing is left Of my humanity The surface grows cold Reflecting no soul It seems like nothing Could ever break me down Indestructible, I appear to be When all the emptiness fills me I'm untouchable, numb to everything When all emotions are bled out I silence the voice That lingered inside Now freedom is mine And nothing holds me down The surface grows cold Reflecting no soul It seems like nothing Could ever break me down Indestructible, I appear to be When all the emptiness fills me I'm untouchable, numb to everything When all emotions are bled out Composed and well prepared A darkness so refined And I can overcome Anything Indestructible, I appear to be When all the emptiness fills me I'm untouchable, numb to everything When all emotions are bled out

People Like Me 03:57
lyrics

People Like Me Envy, all the affliction And the death toll I wish, I had their numbers To call my own People like me are Heartless People like you will Soon see.. Life kills and Death sells, All we need is a tragedy It's for a good cause Let's sell them some hope and play on their sympathy To make them believe Compassion is a weakness, I don't share Hate wins, most of the time and Love lies to us This time, I'll be the victim And thank my loss People like me are Heartless People like you will Soon see.. Life kills and Death sells, All we need is a tragedy It's for a good cause Let's sell them some hope and play on their sympathy To make them believe Compassion is a weakness, I don't share Life kills and Death sells, All we need is a tragedy It's for a good cause Let's sell them some hope and play on their sympathy To make them believe Compassion is a weakness

The Joy Of Sorrow 03:54

The Joy Of Sorrow A lesson in heartache The glass was never full There's comfort in knowing My doom Nostalgia creeps in To save me from myself One day, I'll wake up And be an old man I learned to love the pain The joy of sorrow Another step into The melancholic You'll see that I'm having The time of my life And nothing can compare To my own despair Things couldn't be better I try to tell myself Regret is still there To haunt me Nostalgia creeps in To save me from myself One day, I'll wake up And be an old man I learned to love the pain The joy of sorrow Another step into The melancholic You'll see that I'm having The time of my life And nothing can compare To my own despair I am falling I am learning to accept This is how it goes when it's going down (I am) This is how it goes when you hit the ground (Falling) This is how it goes when you're going down (I am) Learning to accept I learned to love the pain The joy of sorrow Another step into The melancholic You'll see that I'm having The time of my life And nothing can compare To my own despair

Assassinate From the clones in the crowd Looking back To the ones passing by The dead shine You can stay if you'd like I am sure You won't like what you see Through my eyes No shame in all that I have Assassinated You're just a number to me Anyway When the panic sets in They will run When I open fire The tears start You can stay if you'd like I am sure You won't like what you see Through my eyes No shame in all that I have Assassinated You're just a number to me Anyway No shame in all that I have Assassinated You're just a number to me Anyway

As The World Burns Empire to ashes Condemned by ourselves It's over, don't bother The sky is falling now It's raining sulphur On judgement day Stand back and watch As the world burns You will find me Dancing in the flames I've been waiting For this day All my life This global abortion The taste of demise It's over, don't bother The sky is falling now It's raining sulphur On judgement day Stand back and watch As the world burns You will find me Dancing in the flames I've been waiting For this day All my life Don't want to miss the show The countdown has begun Don't want to play this game, anymore? Stand back and watch As the world burns You will find me Dancing in the flames I've been waiting For this day All my life

Farewell To Fantasy 04:07
lyrics

Farewell to Fantasy I'll save you the suspense And cut right to the chase If you have opinions They will offend Call this a diatribe Call this humanity So cruel and so cold - Oh! What can you do? Farewell to fantasy, we'll try to play along So welcome misery, and face the music Farewell to fantasy, we'll teach them all to scream It's not what you think, or maybe it is With actions that effect The life I want to live You praise the hypocrites That will oppress Call this a diatribe Call this humanity So cruel and so cold - Oh! What can you do? Look at all we've done It's time to say Farewell to fantasy, we'll try to play along So welcome misery, and face the music Farewell to fantasy, we'll teach them all to scream It's not what you think, or maybe it is Forget what was before Forget your master plan All things will come to an end in time Farewell to fantasy, we'll try to play along So welcome misery, and face the music Farewell to fantasy, we'll teach them all to scream It's not what you think, or maybe it is

Down Here 03:43

Down Here We undress for success To please them Sex sells and Death thrills us In the end Illusions made to seduce While terror looks you in the eye The world won't change for you, but You'll change with the world Down here I make the rules while You're off counting stars I see things in a way that Would just scare you There's no fame or fortune In this game You'll learn that less is more In the end Illusions made to seduce While terror looks you in the eye The world won't change for you, but You'll change with the world Come with me, you'll see that... Down here I make the rules while You're off counting stars I see things in a way that Will just scare you You can go all in You will be let down You can see yourself I've bled for years to know Down here I make the rules while You're off counting stars I see things in a way that Will just scare you

If It's Dark Enough 04:03
lyrics

If It's Dark Enough I'm born of synthesis, bleeding out A karaoke dream, held back A simple minded fool, like yourself Could never understand If it's dark enough I will find my way If I'm all alone So be it I am used to this But I still believe There are others who Are like me How did I get this way? I don't know It's time to play the odds again A simple minded fool, like yourself Could never understand If it's dark enough I will find my way If I'm all alone So be it I am used to this But I still believe There are others who Are like me All this I see Just feeds my contempt Burn this for me I can't win this game Weak minds will think alike They'll just waste my time Weak minds will think alike They'll just waste my time Life is my wasteland When I'm drunk on the dead Life is my wasteland When I'm drunk on the dead If it's dark enough I will find my way If I'm all alone So be it I am used to this But I still believe There are others who Are like me All this I see Just feeds my contempt Burn this for me I can't win this game
