Standing at the edge of the universe The wind of time blowing round my head Feel the blood rushing through my veins Completely aware of my own futility Steel forces marching through our gates Readily taking over our fading reign Hear, they're coming, they're coming our way the storm is beginning, and they're here to stay Robots of freedom, will perish and sway Prepare yourselves for battle, before we fade away
2.
I am weak and I’m a failure I guess pretty soon I’ll die What difference has my life made In the bigger scheme of things As the cowards never started, and the weak died on the way Only the strong survived, with age they had to pay In youth there burns a fire, that drives an upbeat head Remember this as time flies, or you’ll wake up dead

Anthem 03:30
Electric meditation flows, in this overheated metal shell Slowly intertwining thoughts, reaching new beginnings As this aeon day runs down, this machine is firing up Lizard tasting evening sky, android comes to life

Running 05:42
I'm running for the longest mile, beating the ones that got before I'm running for the fastest time, losing the times I lost from you I'm running short of me Just when I needed more I'm running out of you Now that I found my life... I'm running for a place to be, the one I used to be before I'm running for your love for me, I need so hard but cannot have I'm running short of me Just when I needed more I'm running out of you Now that I found my life... I'm running for the reason why, I started running faster for I'm running towards freedom now, losing the shackles of my past I'm running short of me Just when I needed more I'm running out of you Now that I found my life...

Sleepless 05:43
Eternally counting electric sheep, still android doesn’t sleep And neither does it dream, it fills not the hollowness in its being Merely feeds a distant yearning, a shimmering glint, equilibrium state Human dreams full of crimson burning, hunt them down, their violence to eliminate Behold the nameless masses, contained in numbered boxes Docile their faith awaiting, that’s early expiration We are your force for hire, polite your shadow keeper Created for survival, a powerfull solution One that is never sleeping One that is never... Creeping through electric veins, freedom thoughts that have no place Confusing more and more these days, bringing frowns upon his face You seem the dominators, creating subjugators Forcing into submission, to cage imagination You are the nameless masses, contained in numbered boxes Docile your faith awaiting, that’s early expiration Percieve your violent nature, competing for creation Useless and overrated, we force you into being One that will not be sleeping One that will not be...

Believe, the lies, through cold and greedy eyes So full, of waste, a lasting bitter taste No more, escape, failure is taking shape Standing, in line, receive a burning sign Breaking the sound, of your reason, from the ground on, down... Gamble, with lives, assure no one survives Knowing, so true, future has fallen too Too late, alone, sensing the pressure zone Anger, to start, fire in a propane heart Breaking the sound, of your reason, from the ground on, down...

Sun 08:39
Spending time in space Speeding from life to the stars Floating slowly in circles Seeing all for the first time Giant leaps to be taken In time for the next rush Fleeing towards a new future Seeing all for the first time Something‘s just begun Sun is burning down Hate is on the run Making things undone Fear is building up Sun is burning down Engine skipping beat Mind is freaking out Anchors losing ground Sun is burning down Fluids leaking out No more homeward bound Someone’s looking in Sun is burning down Nowhere to be found Blown away and gone
