The heightened - they walk among us in the dawning age of enhancement For medicine - For perfection It's evolution of unnatural selection With human-like structures to compensate Or completely overhaul a failing mental state Cybernetic amplification A fabrication of the extreme supernatural Post-industrial abominations absorbed in every facet of life Walking miracles of modern science A flawless creation of the mind For some, an opportunity to overcome For some, a blasphemous transgression Sacrilegious insult to the gods Profanitory disrespect They are modernized The are more refined They're remodeling their DNA Augmentations wired in seamlessly withing the inner workings and mechanics of the mind (The augmentation of society) With connections rooted in curcuitry, machinery will bear communication with the hive (The augmentation of society) We are paving the way Is it life-saving, or source of a weapon? We are playing god Inhabitancy, a means to control Cloud mind, cyber eyes, limbs of steel With curcuitry paths to the heart Mankind redesigned - industrial Utopian state-of-the-art They are modernized The are more refined They're remodeling their DNA Augmentations wired in seamlessly withing the inner workings and mechanics of the mind (The augmentation of society) With connections rooted in curcuitry, machinery will bear communication with the hive (The augmentation of society) The curse of mortality past A perfect society in our grasp Augmentations wired in seamlessly withing the inner workings and mechanics of the mind (The augmentation of society) With connections rooted in curcuitry, machinery will bear communication with the hive (The augmentation of society)

It's an historical landmark Your every dream is now reality Unlimited choices The key to your new life There isn't a wrong that can't be made right With this new technology Open your mind to possibilities (Self Reborn) As we look on to life awakened You have control over your futures (Self Reborn) Science now making history Rewriting the laws of nature (Self Reborn) Free from the restraints of humankind Advancing the standards of life (Self Reborn) To redeem the courage Healing to relieve the shame Revealing a purpose A new life ascertained To demolish the wanting To diminish the curses of jealousy To overcome evolutionary failures (Self Reborn) As we give in to satisfaction As we give in to instant gratification Augmentations expand the brain With limitless streams from the hive (Self Reborn) Education spontaneous Creating utopian minds All desires All deformations All injustice Can be unmade The only affliction that can't be denied Is the natural instinct, the plague that we call "man-kind" As we succumb to augmentation We've lost control of who we are (Self Erased) To redeem the courage Healing to relieve the shame Revealing a purpose A new life ascertained Deceiving the masses Missleading to regain control Concealing the purpose A new age of darkness has come

Malfunction 04:30
Waves of a malfunction Sweep across like a webbed tsunami Crashed by a glitch in the system Mass confusion, a loss of command A fusion of conciousness A violence without resolve We're losing possession I abandon the will to restrain We're losing possession I surrender the strength to control We've lost all control All at once, the cybers turn In an instant, an extermination Mindless commitment to mass extinction A violence without resolve We are one mind, body, power We are the world Oh, without a sound It's quiet now There's nothing but you and me, love Her empty eyes now filled with tears Their beauty marred with regret With broken hearts and broken trust Her grasp opens to embrace him He stumbles down His face is pale All feelings now turned to fear (And just as quickly as it began, our nightmare has come to an end) (But I don't know who you really are, how can I trust you again?) Regaining possession I'm reclaiming the will to restrain Regaining possession I recover the strength to control Oh, what have I done?

All we need to know about the augmented Was revealed to us on that night Hear these true words Face this new terror They are dangerous They are murderous They are threatening our way of life They are not human They are counterfeit They are manufactured to destroy our world I've seen the hearts they break I've seen the lives they've torn apart And it cannot be denied The truth has been revealed Reality has come to light And the world will not forget How the times have changed Things won't be the same With this threat looming on our minds Now divided Stand united with us They are dangerous They are murderous They are threatening our way of life They are not human They are counterfeit They are manufactured to destroy our world I've seen the hearts they break I've seen the lives they've torn apart And it cannot be denied The truth has been revealed Reality has come to light And the world will not forget Outrage and accusations Thrown around in a mass histeria Conviction with confidence But blind to the larger picture What caused the malfunction? Coincidental or intentional? No heed to the voices of reason Fear is blind injustice profound I've seen the hearts they break I've seen the lives they've torn apart And it cannot be denied The truth has been revealed Reality has come to light And the world will not forget

Unrest 04:30
A culture divided The battle two-sided Humanity's starting to riot The masses cohere Motivated by fear Hate fills the streets Apprehension forevermore Never again We fight for our peace of mind A violent call to arms Trial by fire, as we set all hope aside For reasons unknown And beyond our control We lost all we love And we carry the burden We fight for our rights And we fight to survive Inescapable sentence But we never asked for this Never again We fight for our right to life A violent call to arms Trial by fire, as we set all hope aside Injustice contemptuous No reparation can undo the damage done As we stand together And gaze upon the disarray Her gaze, it turns to lock with mine But I turn my eyes to look away I know that she can feel my pain She can sense my apprehension I can see the heartache in her face A face that I don't recognize Though we stand together I have never felt so far from you How can I trust the one I love When she can't even trust herself? A violent call to arms Trial by fire, as we set all hope aside Injustice contemptuous No reparation can undo the damage done

Closing my eyes And turning away Hoping my tears don't show Now there is fear Replacing compassion Catching my breath And chasing my thoughts To find the right words to say I'm losing my mind And slipping away And on the horizon A storm in the sky Rains doubt and confusion And submerses love's fire I can't forgive (You put the blame on me) I can't forget (I'm not ashamed to be) What you are is less than human (What I am is more than human) Let me go (Don't let go of me) It can't go on (How it used to be) Now that I see you in a different light (And now you see me in a different light) Take all we had And cast me aside I've run out of words to say You've broken my heart And torn me asunder And on the horizon A storm in the sky Rains doubt and confusion And submerses love's fire I can't forgive (You put the blame on me) I can't forget (I'm not ashamed to be) What you are is less than human (What I am is more than human) Let me go (Don't let go of me) It can't go on (How it used to be) Now that I see you in a different light (And now you see me in a different light)

Echoes from a fading song A flash from a dying light A cry from a class once exalted Now cast aside All ambition and purpose has withered and died What was once seen a blessing Now cursed as a plague What's against our control Needs a demon to blame We are lost in the world We're condemned and defiled We are people like you Forced to live in exile We can beg for forgiveness And fight for the truth But it's gone way too far And the world has disowned us

Abandoned 05:17
Carry this around Can't escape anxiety Hopelessness surrounds Can't release it's hold on me Wandering abandonded, to shadows I keep Bound to the alleys and empty streets Weak to move on as I keep on looking back Betrayed by myself Give me a reason to live Or a second chance to be desired Always on the run I can feel their eyes on me Can't trust anyone And why should they have trust in me God, what have I done? This wasn't how it's supposed to be I didn't have a choice Augmented life was forced on me Falling apart, I just want to be numb Strung out on meds, what have I become? Give me a reason to keep on looking back Betrayed by myself Give me a reason to live Or a second chance to be desired My love, my love I witness the beatings The hate without meaning I'm losing the strength to fight I'm fighting the pain As I cover my shame And I'm losing the strength to go on As I reach for the sky And beg for an answer I scream to the night It echoes in silence It withers in the cold It suffocates the soul And reminds me of the truth That we're all alone Betrayed by myself Give me a reason to live Or a second chance to be desired My love (Give me a reason to live) My love

Desiderium 04:59
Drowned in regret Cold, beading sweat Is running down my spine Nights without sleep Restless, I weep But the tears can't wash away what I've done I feel it fall Everything I ever knew It's crumbling to dust around my feet I've lost it all Everything I ever loved She's a stranger, and it's all because of me Voices softly whispering in my head Haunting me - I beg for silence I beg for a peace that I don't deserve I feel it fall Everything I ever knew It's crumbling to dust around my feet I've lost it all Everything I ever loved She's a stranger, and it's all because of me

Anarchy 04:47
We have to do something They left us with nothing Anarchy and a state of unrest Our power's dissolving A new revolution Objection to the freedom to coexist Slaves to fear and distress Segregation, a knee-jerk reaction Chains of political gain A public facade of damage control Damn them, curse them, cast them out Kill them, waste them, justice for the real mankind To give in to A climacteric cry To seal it off An order to maintain control Maintain control Maintain control Do what is needed to maintain control Maintain the law Maintain the law Do what is needed to maintain the law To give in to A climacteric cry To seal it off An order to maintain control Damn them, curse them, cast them out Kill them, waste them, justice for the real mankind To give in to A climacteric cry To seal it off An order to maintain control

Run away from all of your sorrows Paradise: a better tomorrow All like minds, community unopposed A place where we can all live as one Away from all prepossession And all preconception Here to stay The way of the future Is on the horizon A perfect place City of lights A castle upon the hill A gift of grace Province of dreams A call to the promised land Don't hide There's no need for secrets No more shame Escape from a world so cold Embraced by warm arms of welcome All mistakes, lost and forgotten Peace will exceed in the garden of eden A life with new meaning Secured for safe-keeping Your every desire And all you require Endlessly met And you'll never haunt us again A perfect place City of lights A castle upon the hill A gift of grace Province of dreams A call to the promised land A sacred land City of hope A fortress under the sky A gift of peace Province of dreams Welcome to the promised land

As I search for you Are you searching for me? In my fear, I was blind But now I see Did you hear the amazing news? A haven for me and you Amnesty, a brand new start I hope it's true Will you come to me? It's not too late, can't you see? There is only history to leave behind I look out to the setting sun There, the ruins of home What it was, what it is What could have been But I carry a broken heart Filled with whispers of hope I see your face, it strengthens me And gives me faith Will you come to me? It's not too late, can't you see? Picking up the pieces that we left behind And I see you in the distance I run to you You don't need to say I'm sorry, but I do Our eyes meet across the darkness Come take my hand As we run together to the promised land Then the fire meets the sea And disorder meets deception As you're pulled into the distance I call to you Fall asunder, as my soul is torn in two As you fade into the darkness Gone from my view You are all to me, and I will follow you You are all to me and I'll follow you

I follow whispers As I stumble my way to you Blind in confusion Absorbed by illusion Afraid to expose the truth I'm startled by A flashing light Revealing a picture framed by my worst fear A panic arises This pure paradise is A prison camp to contain Our sisters and brothers Our friends and our lovers The horrors of history repeating Frozen in silence I'm calling your name I'm chasing the hollow Through fire and flames To where I can't follow - Follow you Face-to-face through the iron gates Overwhelmed with fear and passion Emotions abounding through me Helplessly I stare Separated from what I want the most I muster the strength to cry out And I'm calling your name I'm chasing the hollow Through fire and flames To where I can't follow Gather the captives of this sacred land We let this go way too far And have to take a stand We have the power to take our life back We are the heightened augmented And this is the turning point We're going on the attack War and justice Revolution rising with the sun Genocide halted before it begins We're more than human And we have the right to exist Civil war! And I'm calling your name I'm chasing the hollow Through fire and flames To where I can't follow War and justice Revolution rising with the sun Genocide halted before it begins We're more than human And we have the right to exist
