The Prisoner

Lista de faixas

• 1. Uprising (04:44)
   copy

  Locked inside,
  I left behind the life I knew before,
  A fallen angel
  All hope has died,
  A broken dream that haunts me to my core,
  No open door
  
  Open your eyes
  
  Raise your fists we'll never fall again
  Wait for an answer or fight for you freedom?
  Suffocate and segregate, feed upon your darkest fear
  Hold on to silence or die for freedom?
  
  Where is truth?
  A life in ruin under darkened skies
  While children stay starving
  But if we fall, [fall]
  We're just another number through corrupted eyes
  We’re all fed lies
  
  Crawl, Walk, Fall
  Rise, Rise, Rise
  What would it take to understand the price of freedom?
  
  Raise your fists we'll never fall again
  Wait for an answer or fight for your freedom?
  Suffocate and segregate, feed upon your darkest fear
  Hold on to silence or die for freedom?
  
  Seize the day
  This is the hour we stand or fall
  Death or elation
  A bitter pill
  Knowing that the struggle marks my final call
  Or liberation
• 2. The Working Dead (03:33)
   copy

  Push yourself to nothing
  Blinkered tunnel vision, can you see the light?
  Keep up with the Joneses
  A slave to your salary, til day turns night
  
  Get that next promotion
  Crawling up the ladder feeling no emotion
  Have you measured up?
  Afraid to? Made to? Who said paid to?
  
  Are you ever happy, ever felt fulfilled
  Measuring accomplishments in dollar bills
  Feeling blank, motive lost
  A surreptitious creeping cost
  
  Work is your master, racing faster, feel that you lost control of life?
  That's never right
  Bound to the chair, and the screen, have you ever questioned what that means
  It's just obscene
  
  “I had a dream”
  That's one more dream than you've ever seen
  What did you achieve?
  An extra day a decade on your annual leave
  
  What have you created?
  A paper-work mountain rubber stamped and dated
  Write your final legacy...
  Reflection in the mirror was your enemy
  
  Are you ever happy, ever felt fulfilled?
  Measuring accomplishments in dollar bills
  Feeling blank, motive lost
  A surreptitious choking cost
  
  Work is your master, racing faster, feel that you lost control of life?
  That's never right
  Boundto the chair, and the screen, have you ever questioned what that means?
  It's just obscene
  
  Time to take this test
  If the only world you know ends at the edge of your desk
  
  Are you ever happy, ever felt fulfilled?
  Measured your accomplishments in dollar bills
  Feeling blank, motive lost
  A surreptitious deathly cost
  
  When you come a'knocking on the Pearly Gates
  Too late for a second chance to change your fate
  Who's to blame , for what went wrong?
  What kept you blinded all life long
  
  Work was your master, racing faster, feel that you lost control of life?
  That's never right
  Bound to the chair, and the screen, why d'you never question what that means?
  It's just obscene
• 3. Fragments (04:48)
   copy

  Broken and distorted just a psyche that’s aborted
  My virtue is corroded with the fragments of my deeds
  Twisted, overbearing with a mind that's void of caring
  All contact is deceiving, a lie that isn't me
  
  Just an imitator - fraud of mind as I invent
  I am my creator - character of my decent
  Living emulation - walk a mirror to exist
  Life's a simulation - instincts I've learned to resist
  
  Who am I now? / Which part of me?
  Who am I now? / Who do you see?
  Walk alone, act a drone, the real me is still unknown
  'Cause the answer's in my eyes, who do you see?
  
  All days are a motion, I converse without emotion
  Every action lacks devotion, I'm just a void inside
  My childhood is my master, pulling wings from my disaster
  My pulse starts racing faster, behind my hidden mask
• 4. The Ascending (04:56)
   copy

  All is gone, begun shut down
  This distant ward of wounded soldiers
  One mistake and left to drown
  The only one, who knew the answers
  
  Life - the last unknown, dead waste
  Wait - all systems fail
  While you observe it's my life
  Life - the last unknown, dead waste
  Wait, all systems fail
  While you observe I'm
  
  Trapped inside a cage, a mind that's full of rage
  (My) family wait, and I can hear them
  Better dead this way, leave my shell today
  Turn the switch, start the ascending
  
  Sands of time are running out
  The truth I hold needs liberation
  Trace my steps and leave no doubt
  My legacy will be forsaken.
• 5. 100 Days (04:59)
   copy

  We were young we were off for war
  Marching on marsh lands
  The killing fields near 100 days since birth at Amien
  
  We were but few lost at the campaign
  Reckless absent mind
  We were out gunned by Marne-Rheims' keen hand around our necks we yield
  
  Evoke the sentiments of hope, Life which I have wasted
  The stirring memories of home seem attenuated
  
  The road ahead leads to prison walls
  Shackled and despair
  The mud and rain has spread disease as rats await their prey
  
  Starving me, beating me, leave me to die
  I'm just a soldier
  Torture me, break me, how long since Versailles?
  I don't remember.
• 6. The Remnant (04:38)
   copy

  Rage, lives through your mind
  The shadow you fear is me
  Wake once and for all, see what you'll be.
  
  Watch, you sleep,
  A fear we never seek
  Close your eyes and see we are what remains
  
  Reflected, resurrected, closed from all minds
  Between two worlds, we are the remnant
  
  Breath once betray, shades of the day (neverending day)
  Shadows, Nightmares
  Into the night's embrace
  We rise, one voice
  Where there is no release.
  
  Call, shadows of the past
  We see through the masks
  Loveless departed stay bridging the gap
  Bury all your shame
  Specters burn in flame
  Weeping resentment, we bring anarchy
  
  Through your eyes
  Observing separate lives
  No interaction confined into Glass
  Deceptive, receptive
  Your senses purge
  Walk through your world
  We are the remnant
  
  Breath once betray
  Shades of the day
  Never ending day
  
  Shadows, Nightmares
  Into the nights embrace
  We Rise, one voice
  Where There is no release
• 7. Caught in a Web (03:49)
   copy

  Are you conscious? Do you know I'm there?
  Do you even recognise the world that's outside your lair?
  You're glued to the PC. And forever online
  Your sentence self-imposed and measured in game time
  
  Endless progression inside of your small world
  Focused on winning, become the elite
  Full time addiction to social seclusion
  Your isolation complete
  
  Soul cold
  And all alone
  Tied to your to technology
  Rewired your biology
  Now .... it will take you down
  
  Hooked to your heartbeat. Adrenaline flows.
  Pixelated paradise, dependency grows
  Total domination. Craving fulfilled?
  Sucked into the cycle, you're so weak willed )
  
  You only have one life, you're never respawning
  Open the door and step over the ledge
  Turn off devices explore with your own eyes
  A picture without a screen edge
  
  Soul cold
  And all alone
  Lost in the ether
  Your world in your hands
  In your space
  No self control
  A solitary ruler
  On a digital throne
  
  I feel so incomplete
  When I'm disconnected, away from my world
  Never needed anything external
  Don't think you've understood
  Makes me feel like a king eternal
  Godlike it tastes so good
  
  So alone
  Cut off your family
  The console commands you now
  
  Soul cold
  And all alone
  Lost in the ether
  Your world in your hands
  In your space
  No self control
  A solitary ruler
  On a digital throne
• 8. The Bitter End (04:59)
   copy

  If I'd have known, what I know now we never would have started on this path
  Twenty years in a living hell, each hour thinking over
  One-by-one, count the days, a life enslaved, why do I remain here?
  
  Our lives, entwined, will break our sanity of mind
  Divide, rewind, we sow the seeds of our demise
  
  Bound, shattered and mistreated by you, suffocated
  Downwards we go, a hurricane that tears us both apart
  
  I let my feelings wither, now there's nothing left, a barren empty home
  Feeding off your vitriolic anger, like a cancer in my bones
  
  But I never planned to be your prisoner forevermore
  I can't escape, our vows aggrieve me, the power keeps me
  
  Our lives, entwined, will break our sanity of mind
  Divide, rewind, we sow the seeds of our demise
  
  Bound, shattered and mistreated by you, suffocated
  Downwards we go, a hurricane that tears us both apart
  
  Broken down a piece of your empire, fallen short of context
  And all I want, is to break the cycle, start our lives again
  Separate your mind from emotion, pacify your instincts
  Did you ever dream this would happen? Is this all we live for?
  All I want, is to find an answer, find my freedom
  All I want, so to break the cycle, start our lives again
  
  Our lives, entwined, will break our sanity of mind
  Divide, rewind, we sow the seeds of our demise
  
  Bound, shattered and mistreated by you, suffocated
  Downwards we go, a hurricane that tears us both apart
  Bound, shattered and mistreated by you, suffocated
  Downwards we go, a hurricane that tears us both apart

• 10. My Design (06:25)
   copy

  Down, another precious hour leaves so confused
  Dead, inside I'm am sick of living, wanna just crawl out
  How many bodies, how many lives?
  How much innocence is lost and won't survive
  I feel hysteria, I feel your pain,
  I am the dying mark of Cane
  
  This is my design
  This is my intent
  I will tear the walls
  From all that would prevent
  
  This is my design
  This is who I see
  I am not a slave
  To anyone but me
  
  Fall, I'm not a victim I am lost without a soul
  Sin, I know the damage caused is mirrored on my skin
  What does it take? What is the cost?
  What is the reason I fragment when feeling lost
  I'm not your icon, I'm not your guide
  I am two minds inside and live in a divide
  
  This is my design
  This is my intent
  I will tear the walls
  From all that would prevent
  
  This is my design
  This is who I see
  I am not a slave
  To anyone but me
  
  Bound to the dark
  Slave to my need
  Broken by vengeance, blood and greed
  
  I am the life-force that has come and gone,
  I am both Jekyll & Hyde
  The body count is my inner song
  In which the reaper confides
  A ceaseless appetite that I constrain
  How could you understand
  I am hysteria, I am your pain
  I am the dying mark of Cane
  
  This is my design
  This is my intent
  I will tear the walls
  From all that would prevent
  
  This is my design
  This is who I see
  I am not a slave
  To anyone but me
