PARADOX LYRICS

1. Second Over Third By Force

You want to piss on my back?
You want to manipulate?
You're just a hollow creature
Constructed to bring hate
Instructed to detest, to destroy and discreate

You want to hollow me out?
You want to suck me in?
You're like a nasty machine
Constructed to destruct

We are just numbers, figures in a game
Can we resist? Or must we back in shame
Who will be first? Who will be last?
Unmistify this: second over third by force

No will to break or change
No reason to believe
No enemy to fight, no one to deceive

We defend our fate
We have to flick the switch
We must resist, in order to exist

We are just numbers, figures in a game
Can we resist? Or must we back in shame
Who will be first? Who will be last?
Unmistify this: second over third by force

We must defend the sacred treasure
We must obey the judgement of heart
First come numbers, then comprehension
Never to remorse, second over third force
THIRD FORCE!

We are just numbers, figures in a game
Can we resist? Or must we back in shame
Who will be first? Who will be last?
Unmistify this: second over third by force

Second over third by force

Power to the fifth or sixth
Glory to those who dare resist

2. Paralyzed

What happens here,
Some call it life and others call it hell

Cannot be sure if its all real
Or just a prison cell

Release me out of here
Into neverness of fear

Unable to move, forced into this fate
Never to escape

Waiting for the one in faith

3. Monument

Conquering time, conquer the world
Spreading death, screaming and pain
Sending our warriors ready to die
Thousands will kill and be slain

To build your monument
To build your monument

No repents, no regrets
It has to be done, to be done
To show the world who is in charge
'I am the immortal one'

Godlike, undead, steadfast,
eternal, holy, fame

Hallowed be thy name
A monument built with death and pain
Indestructible
Built on walls of blood

The battle is won, people enslaved
Cannot fodder for the next strike
Command and obey, no other choice
Subject to the emperor's Reich

To build your monument
To build your monument

Hallowed be thy name
A monument built with death and pain
Indestructible
Built on walls of blood

Who cares - If soldiers have to die
Who cares - If blood is shed for a lie
Who cares - about the next to come,
When creating a monument for the 'one'

Eternity, pride and lust
Perverted killing - fun
Burning skies, bitterness
All for one, and only one

Godlike, undead, steadfast,
eternal, holy, fame

Hallowed be thy name
A monument built with death and pain
Hallowed be thy name
Indestructible
Built on walls of blood

4. Portrait In Grey

A still life - a life still
A new love - a new kill

Fascination for blood shed
A work of art in blood-red

No! No accusation
Art is free - freedom of art!
Gone is fascination
The shiny red is fading away
Colour the portrait in grey

A still love - a love still
A sharp knife - a sharp will

Silent admiration, unheard, unseen
Fantastic immolation, totally clean

No! No accusation
Art is free - freedom of art!
Gone is fascination
The shiny red is fading away
Colour the portrait in grey

Blood is red or is it grey
It's not the same, it fades away

It gets forgotten, discreate
Shadows fall, dissimulate

No! No accusation
Art is free - freedom of art!
Gone is fascination
The shiny red is fading away
Colour the portrait in grey

Colour the portrait in grey

5. Hyperspeed Hallucinations

Take look into the future, a look into the past
Can you realize that we are goin' fast
I feel yesterday was just a second away
But as the seconds flow memories disarray

Our way leads to nowhere, time is a mystery
Our plan is to find it, we're goin' hyperspeed
Our life leads to somewhere, it seems a memory
As we speed to find it we loose the entity

History went by so quickly
A raving, erratic race
Yesterday was bones and stones
Tomorrow: hyperspace
Fantasy to us
The sci-fi-stories only to amuse
Which have become designer blue-prints
Complicated, easy to use

Our way leads to nowhere, time is a mystery
Our plan is to find it, we're goin' hyperspeed
Our life leads to somewhere, it seems a memory
As we speed to find it we loose the entity

Hyperspeed hallucinations
Hyperspeed hallucinations

Tomorrow will be even faster
No way to let thoughts go astray
Concentrate and navigate
Calibrate, don't estimate
Loose your mind then loose your life
Keep it under your control
Push the button, flick the switch
Full speed ahead off we go!

Our way leads to nowhere, time is a mystery
Our plan is to find it, we're goin' hyperspeed
Our life leads to somewhere, it seems a memory
As we speed to find it we loose the entity

Hyperspeed hallucinations
Hyperspeed hallucinations

6. Bridge To Silence

Some incredible noises are crushing my head
There's no other choice - the code is red

I feel all is in vain
This life is insane

Daily pressure is rising
Search the way to rid the pain
Is it time to give up
Abandon this game?

I feel all is in vain
This life is insane

A call from behind opens my mind
Wake up, step back, unwind!

I turn back to myself
Start anew, ending it all
Step a new into existence
The bridge to silence must fall

Now the time is right to conclude this fight
The future is clear, start right now and here

I feel all is in vain
This life is insane

A call from behind opens my mind
Wake up, step back, unwind!

I turn back to myself
Start anew, ending it all
Step a new into existence
The bridge to silence must fall

7. Infected

I look into a strangers eye as I look into the mirror
Can you see me when I'm looking at you?
Eyes expressing hell - wicked spoiled and sick

Infecting my environment and creeping under skin
Infiltration, domination, alienation from inside

Detect the septic place
Hunting down the trace

Here I'm under skin, now I'm deep within
I crawl through your veins he must be infected

I am feeling a chain reaction
Devouring my mind
While I'm analyzing I'm loosing my sense

Will I win the fight or will I die in pain?

Here I'm under skin, now I'm deep within
I crawl through your veins he must be infected

I am the virus that's creeping through your system
You feel the pain when I'm running through your veins

What is this that grows inside me, devouring my sanity
Can't get hold on it, I can hardly see - unholy source of energy

I need the antidote, the infection's gone irate
Getting devoured from inside is not to be my fate
Disconnect to rid this biomechanical killing machine
Scanning the all systems until I'm virus-clean

Here I'm under skin, now I'm deep within
I crawl through your veins he must be infected

8. Disconnected

Where am I now? Where I am here? What has happened to me?
I seem to be somewhere, seem to be unfree
Unhuman cold existence with human conscience
With human feeling and a human soul

Look as I learn now
Watch me decide now
My time is right now
Perfect control, corpse without soul

Seems I'm floating around through hyperspace and time
Falling through an unknown clime
I breathe nothing, no taste, no feeling, lost my mind
I'm in a new, yet explored surrounding: cyberspace

Look as I learn now
Watch me decide now
My time is right now
Perfect control, corpse without soul

I feel observed, analyzed, like an alien thing
Millions of users in front of the screen
I feel no weakness and I begin to understand
I am the master, I am in command

Look as I learn now
Watch me decide now
My time is right now
Perfect control, mechanical soul
A perfect role, separated soul

I'm disconnected
I'm unprotected

9. Cyberspace Romance

I look at you and I know it will never be for real
We seem to be unreal
We chose a faith beyond the flesh, beyond reality
Without intimacy

Forlorn we linger in this endless seeming space
Our love is lost without a trace

How could this tragedy begin, I cannot understand
We never had a chance
To fall in love by the screen, we were so goddamn lonely
Constructed our misery

A relationship built by disgrace
Condemned to be so far away

Last night, I remember - you said you'd be forever mine
Just you and me within space and time
We drifted away, conjoined in fantasy
No bounds to break our gathering (to break your gathering)

I'll take you home, so come take my hand
Reach out and feel the love that I send
This is to you, just give this a chance
This is much more that a cyberspace romance

10. Electrify

Racing through the atmosphere
Tiny matter you should fear
Artificial energy strong and fast
Colder than hate fix to blast

And as we scan the sky
We know that we must die
We dare no to defy - electrify
And as we race the night
We know we all must fight
A force of blinding light - electrify

The flick was switched so many years ago
A mission for mankind
Having gone out of control
A trike back operation
Of the fortitude we made
Electrocution of the inventor: immolate

And as we scan the sky
We know that we must die
We dare no to defy - electrify
And as we race the night
We know we all must fight
A force of blinding light - electrify

Lightning strikes the atmosphere
Neutronic power from an outer sphere
Everything to be blown away
What is this force that we lead astray
To splatter us away

And as we scan the sky
We know that we must die
We dare no to defy - electrify
And as we race the night
We know we all must fight
A force of blinding light - electrify
And as we search the night
We recognize in fright
Humanity has committed suicide - electrify
