BURIAL VAULT LYRICS

1. Adopted Creed

At any time, the news show us
The instability within society
They say the danger's almost everywhere
There's no resort
We walk this path without an escort

Adopted creed - they awe and daunt us
Proceed to foist new fear
Adopted creed? - injected creed
Just to make us amenable

Vengeance of nature
Rivers overflow their banks - polar caps melt
Moving tectonic plates - the earth quakes

Adopted creed - they awe and daunt us
Proceed to foist new fear
Adopted creed? - injected creed
Just to make us amenable

Where is the steadiness that we had once?
Or is it just a misbelief in something that never was?

Longing for a force - able to guide us
People are in search for god
but is the organized church
Just another scare monger?

The tongues of the leaders of sects are split
Deception - It's just about a bottomless pit

They won't give in - they will persist
Christ, muslim, zionist, islamist, baptist

When people live in mess and pertubation
Anguish - volitional obfuscation

Can we discern between hand and fist
Christ, muslim, zionist, islamist, baptist

All over the place, a search for healing
And deliverance from this disorder
Driven into the mouth of greed
Clouding the difference
Superstition or faith

Adopted creed - they awe and daunt us
Proceed to foist new fear
Adopted creed? - injected creed
Just to make us amenable

2. Metamorphosis

Close look into the eyes
Cold sphere of malicious deceit
Ever-growing antipathy
No respect - just dread

The lowest form of recognition
For a man - calculating
Insensitive, unethical, conscienceless

Aim = career
The pressure of the peer
Minutes, hours, days and years,
Friends, companions disappear

Battle for promotion
Obstacles or inner conflicts
Dazed and numbed - fast motion

Memories, stages, moments, years,
Friends, companions disappear

Solely climbing that ladder
Following one matter
Perpetual motion process
Pursuit of success

A weird face in the mirror
Recall of familiar dread
A sudden awareness
This twist - a shock

The lowest form of recognition
For myself - how could I
Disregard my metamorphosis

I wasn't looking back
Nor looking left or right
Life on the fast lane
Without taking any notice
Change - evolution?
Transformation - metamorphosis

A smothered mind - reprogrammed
Creeping metamorphosis

Solely climbing that ladder
Following one matter
Perpetual motion process
Pursuit of success

3. Tempestas

Do we know what time is?
Is it the time on the clock that's ticking,
The ticking that accompanies us all day,
All night and in between?

Is it our lifetime
Periods that run
Always aiming a certain point
A point that stays unknown until our arrival

Thoughts they fly
Time goes by
Impossible to keep hold of it

Thoughts disappear
But time won't
Immeasurable, stable

Tempus edax rerum

Are we the ruler
Or are we subjects?
Is time our influence?
Are we to neglect?

Time is precious
Time is rare
Though we're sometimes
Unaware

We are no masters
But we're not enslaved
Sometimes it's fate
And sometimes dictate

Tempus edax rerum

4. Lcd (Liquid Crystal Dementia)

Loss of time
Loss of place
Loss of memory

Liquid crystal dementia
Knowledge doesn't matter
You simply have to know
Where to find the answer

A screen that doesn't only mirror true life - reality
Disarrayed - causes brain injury?
Progressive de-evolution
Proceeds with capricious velocity
Cognitive area damage

Syndrome of a sickened society
Void - oblivious - delirious
A head without memory
A fortress of solitude

Addicted to technology
Without natural urge
Multi-task, single task, "no task"

Liquid crystal dementia
Knowledge doesn't matter
You simply have to know
Where to find the answer

A language lost in phrases - shortened to acronyms
Without sense - no grammar - no structure
Information is energy
In every transmission it loses something
Information overkill

Syndrome of a sickened society
Void - oblivious - delirious
A brain without data
Etiology of the disease

The capitulation of discrete thinking
Force liquid crystal dementia

A brain without data
A head without memory
LCD

5. Hypocritical Lullaby

While innocent people are killed in mindless wars
They sing their hypocritical lullaby

Hush, all you people, don't say a word
This war's for freedom and not absurd

That very lord is he that made all things
Of all lords he's lord - king of all kings

Lullaby and good night,
Don't question our might
Lady thee down now and rest
May thy slumber be blessed

Atrocities - concealed
Soothing stories to calm us
Their tranquilizer

They are taking us for fools
Treating us like infants
Utilizing us like tools
Drawing the curtain over their intent
Drowning the pure lament

Biased reporting
Spiced with fairy tales
Well-prepared Propaganda
Spread through memorized speeches

Double-tongued turncoats
Abusers of elocution
Skilled twisters of facts

Camouflage - disguise - Hypocritical lullaby
The truth that lies between the lines
The lines no one gets to read

Awaking from slumber
The voice of the people
Screams its lament
A cacophony to break the walls

Lullaby and good night,
Don't question our might
Lay thee down now and rest
May thy slumber be blessed

Who is the lord?
Who is the king?
Vox populi

6. Ambush

[Instrumental]

7. Hostility In Disguise

Left alone - without perspective
Outsiders of society - easy prey

Pseudo-communion, brotherhood - pretended
Feigned protection and friends
"Everyone's equal
But some are more equal than others"

These ideas will never die
You can ban so many parties
But these cowards will always realign
Like will to like

Craven mentors - the cover is the crowd
'Cause narrow minded fear the foreign
A fear that's known as xenophobia

They pick up the weak
As they search affiliation
Brainwash them with paroles
Make false accusations

Slaves to their angst
Victims of their odium

They misuse group dynamics
And the power of speech
Turn men into robotics
Suck 'em out - like a leech

In search for shelter
From their own issues

Hiding in their
Pseudo-communion, hostility in disguise
These betrayers of the feeble
Exclusion - the fee for inclusion?

These ideas will never die
You can ban so many parties
But these cowards will always realign
Like will to like

Craven mentors - the cover is the crowd
'Cause narrow minded fear the foreign
A fear that's known as xenophobia

8. The Desired Destination (Seeking For I)

I struggle through the day
Deserted and reclusive
In search for real motives
To go on - the pathway to I

Who is the real me?
Where can I find myself?
Questions - so easy to ask
So hard to answer

A step between the worlds
A walk through my mind
A dark cloud above starts to rain
Every drop - so full of salvation

In search for myself
Seeking for I

The desired destination
Seeking for I

Longing to walk alone
Yearning to stand alone
To stand my own ground

With no guidance from above
Conceiving all the multi-colored shades

Of my being
of myself

Seeking for I
Seeking for I
Seeking for I

9. Return To Point Zero

The return to the origin - a place where it all began
The return to a mindset where everything was new
Sumless faces, unknown spaces, different shades
Changes like traffic signs on
The path back to point zero

A scream out of nowhere
A story that tells itself
A blank page with a deeper sense than any word
No expectations
External pressure
No limits, no breaks, no boundaries
Like a virgin
Hour of birth
Innocent, impartial

Making mistakes,
Going on
Walking through bodies
Still going on
No boundaries at point zero
Life is not a circle but a spiral
The angle changes with every step

We walk along the path
A path we call our life
And even if we turn around
we can't go back

Though we keep our origin in mind

The spiral makes the stages
Reappear - randomly
But from a different point of view
A change of circumstances
A change of personality
But in the core - still the same
Return to point zero
Heart's desire
Infeasible - still worthwhile

Making mistakes
Going on
Walking through bodies
Still going on
No boundaries at point zero
Life is not a circle but a spiral
While certain feelings recall the start
It's impossible to go back

Back to point zero
Back to point zero

10. Bokanovsky's Process

Deformation and disfigurement,
Unnatural progression,
Higher, faster, further

Evolution on the assembly line
This process - our holy shrine
Millions predefined
Billions of a kind

Efficiency, technology
Equality means quality
Symmetric in design
Digital age - divine

Reproduction on the assembly line
Flawless and irresistible

No one should stop the technological advance
A highly controlled social world

11. Sanctimonious

They aimed high
Much higher than a human mind could see
Were over the people's heads
Like a godhead

The creator made us all
A doctrine of the past
The church becomes the outcast

The church becomes the outcast

Fighting for their reputation
So many want their revocation
Too many mistakes, too many scandals

Science brought answers
Killed the power of the church
A power based on ignorance, nescience and fear

Religions dismantle themselves
A search for a surrogate
To keep the people in fear

Godliness means anxiety
Of god's vengefulness
Downright sanctimony

Just an antiquated mindset
A world in constant motion
Tear down the lies - piece by piece

Rape cases and accusations
Drug abuse - manipulation
Too many mistakes, too many scandals

Scientific findings
Now the clergy's s filled with fear
A paradigm change

Religions dismantled themselves
The search for a surrogate
Pointless

We are not afraid of you anymore
