Cut To Fit - Fire Works

1. THE LIQUID TURNS TO FIRE

So we all crack under pressure
When we dive in too deep
Carving our existence
In flesh and bone
Scarring our memories
With rusty nails

Trees are burning with what-if's
Life is turning yellow and burnt amber
Death has taken another one of us
And all we can think about is ourselves.

They'll be lowered in the cold, cold ground
Wearing gowns of pine and oak
This is something solid
And irreversable
It burns in our psyche.

Cancerous season is upon us again
And I wonder how many will I lose this time.

It's like diving into ocean deep
Deeper down into the sea
You feel the weight of the world
Crushing your will
Demolishing your hope
You will not get out.
You will never breathe air again.
You know you'll breathe in water.
Eventually... The liquid turns to fire.

2. HELIOS

Our father. Giver of life. Fulfilling father.
Intoxicates himself with his own fumes
And runs around with the knife.

Shame's not in his vocabulary
We have lived under the threat of violence
Since we we're given birth
Through the flow of time
Our every trauma can be traced
Back to the Sun.

Helios - Apollon - Fallen Angel - The Antichrist
Helios - Apollon - Fallen Angel - The Antichrist

Our father. Giver of life. Fulfilling father.
Intoxicates himself with his own fumes
And runs around with the knife.

Shame's not in his vocabulary
We have lived under the threat of violence
Since we we're given birth
Through the flow of time
Our every trauma can be traced
Back to the Sun.

Helios - Apollon - Fallen Angel - The Antichrist

3. Tellus

Our Mother.
Made of water and mountains
She's the calming ocean
She's eternal fountain

The sound of her woe
Can wipe us off her face

Resonance of this magnitude
Could bring buildings to the ground
Strange is truly the power of the sound
Astonishing amount the energy it holds...
It holds....

These two worlds converge
And soon they will collide
if we're waiting for apocalypse
We'll unconsciously strive for it

And we are the six-year-old
In between.
The martyrs for greater good
Icaros - Jesus - Einstein, aligned

We are their semen.
Wasted seed in her eye.
And she is getting pissed upon
By our father Helios.
She'll wipe us away
Flush us down the drain

4. WE'RE SLAVES

In these closed-circuit systems
People are rid from all responsibilities
Alongside goes their freedoms
We're wolves with sheep abilities
We're being controlled and watched
Under Faceless surveillance
Technocratic society
Keeping an eye of it's slaves

All resistance is prevented
By ridiculing opposition
Revolutionaries re-educated
Brainwashed and reinstated

When you strip language of all words
Eventually they lose their meanings
And when there's no way to express emotion
They'll tarnish in time.

Festering ugliness of this society
Humilitation and self-loathing
Disconnected by global social network
Communication - diminished!
Replaced with meaningless bullshit!
uninformative, hacked up knowledge

We have six billion mouths
But not a single ear
We have twelve billion arms
But no more fingers to burn.
We have six billion mouths
But not a single ear
We have twelve billion arms
But no more fingers to burn.

We're being controlled and watched
Under Faceless surveillance
Technocratic society
Keeping an eye of it's slaves

We are slaves.

We have six billion mouths..
But not a single ear..


5. OF BIRDS & SNAKES

Like birds in their prime
Colorfully feathered are our lies
And like snakes in their dusty scales
We're chasing each other in the night
Emerald eyes glowing in the dark

Like birds with their light bones
We are but one mortal species
There's nothing special to it
We drug ourselves.
We don't see the forest from the trees
Our reality is one-dimensional.
It is our cage




Like Snakes with their venom teeth
We're bound to the ground
We circle around. Biting eachother's tails
Measuring our enemies
We're exactly the same.
We are our worst enemy.
The liar in our Eden, our brother.
Our blood.

Slowly we develop from colorful birds
To bitter vultures.
Slowly we evolve from snakes
Into lizards
Our hearts turn black
And there's no more turning back.

We're vultures and lizards ripping eachother apart.
Like birds and snakes..
We're vultures and lizards ripping eachother apart.

6. ABOVE

Burning flesh, melting skin.
Bringing peace into this shattered mind.
I'm ending one life and starting another
This is my statement. I stand calm in the flames.
Not even fire can change my mind
I rather burn
Than tolerate this.
My wrath won't burn
My disappointment won't melt.
I stand my ground.
In this moment of death,
I found peace
I found balance
I'm ash, I'm dirt
I'm burnt bones
I'm above.

7. JUSTICE IS A WHORE

We tend to claim that justice is blind
But has it even occured to our mind
How small we stand before her might
And how useless it is to fight
Under her judging eye
It's like serving justice to the blind
Serving justice for mankind....

We tend to think that we are right
That this is ours and we must fight
And there's no use for being polite
I take mine with the kitchen knife
It'se like serving justice to the blind
Like serving justice for mankind.

Justice is a whore raped by all our lies
By all our lies.
