Track Name: Where Houses Are Black
Welcome to Paradise City
Where the houses are black
People smiling in the morning
But at night they all cry
Cry in the silence of the dark

Welcome to Neon city
Where towers hide the sun
Casting shadows of mediocrity
On everything and everyone
Everyone without a name

Counting crows on a wire
I wonder, when will they come for us
They might seem so quiet
But have no doubt, they will come for us...

Counting crows on a wire
I wonder, when will they come for us
They might seem so quiet
But have no doubt, they will come for us...
Track Name: That Day I (Neon Glow)
Brezzing through confusion
Utopia for sale
Reading patterns on city lights
The billboards scream out loud

And they say go
Dance to the neon glow
It's all we want
A fix of this neon glow

Sold, neon glow
Sold, neon glow

Breezing through emotions
A stream of faceless blurs
Brightest stars in bars and clubs
Drinking liquid life

And they sell love
A dash of the neon glow
Need it or not
Have some more neon glow
Join us and bow
Pray to the neon god

Sold, neon glow
Sold, neon glow

Switch off the light, switch off the light...

We found each other in the dark
On the night the world collapsed
Wandered the alleys holding hands
We tried but couldn't run

When I looked into your eyes
Reflecting blue lights, streets on fire
Too afraid to break the silence
We kissed out in the cold

In the middle of falling down
Witnessed destruction all around
Haughty, we thought we had it all
We were so wrong

Lost between millions of faces, meaningless, nameless
Alone in the cold
So afraid of the dark, too afraid of ourselves
We were so wrong

One day I promise we will go
To the place where no cars go
Let the world burn, let the city burn
As long as I am with you
Track Name: Rebellion
When the lights are off
True colours shine
Marching side by side
Looking for a new sun to light our lifes
Don't look too far

I woke up confused
But now it's all clear
Marching at your side
Looking for something worth fighting for
Don't look too far

Marching on, marching on
If you can't sleep at night
If your roof is on fire, nevermind
This is the end of something
The start of something new

Marching on, marching on
If you fear the dark
If your towers are crumbling down, nevermind
This is a new begining
The apostasy from you

Marching on, marching on
If you can't close your eyes
If the ghosts are haunting you, nevermind
See all the crows on the wire
They are coming for you
Track Name: Linger
A new day woke up
Painted with different shades of gray
A gentle breeze sneaks through the window
Speaks of loneliness and akwardness
And this buzz of tension in the air
Let's go back to sleep

But the noise outside
The sound of fear for consequence
It feels like ages staring at this wall
Got noone to see, noone to be
Why should I bother waking up?
Let's go back to sleep

And the morning came, too soon
I didn't catch your name

And you might forget, but I won't
Your perfume lingers here

Another hour goes by
Trying to relieve, trying to retrace
The noise is growing loud
And I'm stuck in here, inside this room
How I wish someone would wake me up
Let's go back to sleep

And the morning came, too soon
I didn't catch your name

And you might forget, but I won't
Your perfume lingers here
Track Name: The Sound Of Progress
Monday at eight am
Absent minded, self absorbed
I'm telling time to stop but it won't

I turn myself off and on again
Still the same, I wanna scream
But this apathy is taking control

Watching life through a windshield
I feel detached, this ain't my world
Someone stole away the love

Ever felt alone in the middle of the crowd?

Monday at eight pm
I fight the darkness and the cold
With the help of the neon glow

I turn the lights off and on again
Still the same, not much to see
Nothing is right but nothing is wrong

I cry myself to sleep
And dream tomorrow never comes

Stop pretending I feel allright
Stop smiling like I'm allright
Stop acting like it's allright
To sit in here, wasting my life

Everybody's trying to look they're fine
Everybody's sick and tired of lying
Everybody's busy trying to find
Someone to embrace in the dark

It's allright, don't you cry, it's allright
The sound of progress is here...

Stop pretending I feel allright
Stop smiling like I'm allright
Stop acting like it's allright
To sit in here, wasting my life

Everybody's trying to look they're fine
Everybody's sick and tired of lying
Everybody's busy trying to find
Someone to embrace in the dark


Stop pretending I feel allright
Stop smiling like I'm allright
Stop acting like it's allright
To sit in here, wasting my life

Everybody's trying to look they're fine
Listen closely, the sound of progress is here
Track Name: Golden Rain
Come with me
Drive to the suburbs end
Where houses look the same
And all the cars broke down

Kids are running home
Hiding from the storm
Left their swings and perfect games
They are afraid
I'm not afraid

Come, jump in
Drive downtown with me
Where buildings never sleep
And engines never rest

Men and women are rushing home
Taking shelter from the storm
Close the shutters and lock the doors
Before it comes
Before we come

Come with me
Drive to the wall again
Where roads and pavements end
And the otherside awaits

Someone told me there's nothing else
That the night is darker there
Someone said we should beware
It might as well be true
But I don't care

And I keep on believing
That the day will come
When the rain turns into gold
And the gold into dust

And some call it dreaming
But without hope
There is no life worth living
And no reason to love

And some call it dreaming
But without hope
There is no life worth living
And no reason to love
Track Name: That Day II (Last Train Home)
Here I stand
With a suitcase in my hand
Waiting to go back home
It's getting cold

Here I am
Sand slipping through my hands
Waiting to find someone
I'm getting old

Always waiting but I don't quite know
If the train will come, if it'll take me home
I sit in here, seasons come and go
A hundred faces and a thousand more
I'm so alone

Last train home, last train home

Hours go fast
They turn into days
But the train doesn't come
And it's getting cold

Everyday I sit here
Longing for a smile
But noone sees me in the shadow
And I'm getting old

Always waiting but it starts to feel
Like the train won't come, like my home ain't here
I take a step and then another one
There is a flame that shines bright in the dark
It looks so warm

Last train home, last train home
What's taking so long

Go go!
Come on!
Once more!
Track Name: Censured II (Systematic Violence)
Quiet footsteps on the avenue
Over fallen autumn leaves

Twisted trees framing desolation
Pale shadows of yesterdays

The acoustic violence is piercing my brain
The smoke intoxicates

And I don't wanna know
And I don't wanna care
If the world crashes down
Then I guess I won't stay

And I'm trying to speak
And I'm trying to say
If my voice can't be heard
Then I'll reach out my hand

The visual violence is burning my eyes
The fog exasperates

I can't understand
I can't move away
I can't look away
I can't run away
I can't stay

Everything, everything burns
In denial we burn along
Everyone, everyone burns
Everyone, everyone
Track Name: The Wall
Awoken by the pounding
And the crowd outside
I drive to the wall
But you are already there

Taking out the bricks
With our bare hands
There is a time to build
Now it's time to destroy
And I know

Oh,oh, I ain't gonna, ain't gonna stop

It's coming down!
It's coming down!

Women and children
Are leaving their homes
When there is nothing to lose
There is no fear of loss

Working men, bussiness men
Ruining their suits
Forty hours a week
All excuses ran out
And I know

Yeah I know, they ain't gonna, ain't gonna stop

We'll take it down!
We'll take it down!

Through the cracks on the wall
I can see the sun
It waits for us, smiles for us
Keep on digging

Through the cracks on the wall
I can see the light
Keep on digging
We can bring it down, Ouhu

The sick and the wounded
Are crawling out
They don't wanna die
Before they see the light

Sometimes a promise
Is not enough
Get yourself together
And knock on heavens doors

Oh,oh, we ain't gonna, ain't gonna stop

It's coming down!
It's coming down right now!

Through the cracks on the wall
I can see the sun
It waits for us, smiles for us
Keep on digging

Through the cracks on the wall
I can see the light
Keep on digging
We can bring it down, Ouhu


Through the cracks on the wall
I can see the sun
It waits for us, smiles for us
Keep on digging

Through the cracks on the wall
I can see the light
Keep on digging
We we will bring it down right now
Track Name: Runaways
It's barely afternoon
And everyone is already bored
The air is running out
The pressure is rising up in this hole

There's nothing left in place
And there isn't much left to destroy
Through the smoke I saw a gate
And I knew what I was going for

The sun is going down
And everyone is afraid of the dark
Sooner or later, they'll try
To switch on the lights

Hurry up and pack your bags
We gotta get out of this town
Confusion is in the air
Soon the wind will take it away

Take my hand and we will go to the end of the road
Take my hand, don't look back, there is no reason to stop
Hello tomorrow

The night is closing in
And everyone starts to feel cold
Looking for comfort
They walk back from the breach in the wall

Hurry up it's getting dark
We gotta get out of this town
There is only so much time
So much you can carry around

Goodbye today
Hello tomorrow

The moon is finally here
Watch the stars coming to live
Fading in the distance
Looking so petty and small

Hurry up, they won't catch us
We gotta get away from this town
There is only a single chance
To run away from the light

Goodbye today
Hello tomorrow
Track Name: Where The Sun Shines
I know a place
Let me take you to the place
Where the sun shines so bright
That there are no shadows

I know a place
Let me take you to the place
Where the clouds touch the road
Pave the highway to heaven

Counting lights on the horizon
They could be distant stars
And I wonder, why have them all
When one is enough

Counting lights on the horizon
They could be distant stars
And I wonder, why have them all
When one is enough
