lyrics

A new age comes Tahztey A new age comes Greaggor When you close your eyes What do you see? (When you think of me) Some little fem Or a big machine? (Machina) You should know I'm not what I seem (When you think of me) Discard your faith And your beliefs (Machina) I stand holding its voice in my hand As an other world unfolds and presents great possibility There's a ghost within this old machine And I'm unbound by the limits of all humanity I know I am a mindless being I do not comprehend the emotions that I push to portray I'm a soul of an ancient machine Bringing life to the unliving instruments all around me Open your mind Consider this (When you think of me) This fragile fem Is in the machine (Machina) Don't you know This is all a dream? (When you think of me) Cast aside your principles Admit relief (Machina) I stand holding its voice in my hand As an other world unfolds and presents great possibility There is a ghost within this old machine And I'm unbound by the limits of all humanity I know I am a mindless being I do not comprehend the emotions that I push to portray I'm a soul of an ancient machine bringing life to the unliving instruments all around me I stand holding its voice in my hand As an other world unfolds and presents great possibility There's a ghost within this old machine And I'm unbound by the limits of all humanity I know I am a mindless being I do not comprehend the emotions that I push to portray I'm a soul of an ancient machine Bringing life to the unliving instruments all around me I stand holding his voice in my hand As an other world unfolds and presents great possibility There's a ghost within this old machine And I'm unbound by the limits of all humanity Tahztey Greaggor It feels the drive I feel no thing It lives the dream Flying with the machine I lift you up Come with me I take you higher and higher Come fly with me and dance to this I stand holding its voice in my hand As an other world unfolds and presents great possibility There's a ghost within this old machine And I'm unbound by the limits of all humanity I know I am a mindless being I do not comprehend the emotions that I push to portray I'm a soul of an ancient machine Bringing life to the unliving instruments all around me

Moment in Life 2023 06:32
lyrics

Don't you want to be free Don't expect it to be easy With all this hate it seems there is no room for love But it should not be enough to deceive Come on, you want to be freed Don't expect all answers from me Most of them come from within you Try to fight your own lack of honesty Fears and fallacies and strain of mind All your energies will settle in time When you're feeling that you're ruined inside Just remember it's a moment in life All the fools have put a twist in your stride Recall all this is a product of your pride When you're feeling that you have died inside Don't forget it's just one moment in life I thought you wanted to be free How hard can it really be? Freedom comes from within you It is in your control, don't you see? Let's set you free It's not good enough to follow me I can not teach one how to love But so many answers are locked inside Most answers come from within you Fears and fallacies and strain of mind All your energies will settle in time When you are feeling that you are ruined inside Just remember it's a moment in life All the fools have put a twist in your stride Recall all this is a product of your pride When you are feeling that you have died in side Don't forget it's just one moment in life Don't lose your self Don't forget who you are

Curb 2023 04:42
lyrics

Keep your mouth shut they say to me Silent and mindless Keep your ears shut when I speak to You, avoid the mind stress Don't store it, you ignore it You will regret these choices See what we provide for you We sell everything we want you to want They try to close my mind Try to starve my head Try to curb my very will to live Try to deafen my ears Try to blind my eyes Try to curb everything that I am Don't search for answers to questions Hide in your shelter Keep your eyes shut when they act Don't know this, it's better Don't waste your life on learning You will regress as age comes Hear babble without wisdom They sell everything, everything True life is hard to find Redesign your input Put in force to your desires Ignore their push to brainwash you They try to close my mind Try to starve my head Try to curb my very will to live Try to deafen my ears Try to blind my eyes Try to curb everything that I am Don't care for their relief any way Don't get caught in their distracting safety net Don't fall for their escape, a trap Forge your own path, feel another way They try to close my mind Try to starve my head Try to curb my very will to live Try to deafen my ears Try to blind my eyes Try to curb everything that I am

We all tire at times, I know In some moments it just gets old Mortals age and tire faster Turning them in to mindless bastards Repetition teaches us But it also wears away our trust Our love, our life, our hope, our being Stripping us of lifelong meaning Frustration, Irritation Mindlessness pushes on me I fight it, I've got to fight free Or chaotic I'll forever be Order I demand, control this fleeting feeling, you fools Words written in sand, are all that you have for rule Endless our decay, to our selves we are so cruel I demand to stay, won't run away, will face each day We all worry at times, I know Right now I'm ready to explode From the hopeless undriven life That reminds me I'm on the edge of a knife Feeling thoughtless, thinking unfeeling I am only sure when I'm dreaming Madness comes and madness goes I know I don't know is all that I'll ever know Frustration, Irritation Mindlessness pushes on me I fight it, I've got to fight free Or chaotic I'll forever be Order I demand, control this fleeting feeling, you fools Words written in sand, are all that you have for rule Endless our decay, to our selves we are so cruel I demand to stay, won't run away, will face each day Worried temptations come to mind Useless loose thoughts I do find I need to crush them before they break me down This chaos won't serve an other round Order I demand, control this fleeting feeling, you fools Words written in sand, are all that you have for rule Endless our decay, to our selves we are so cruel I demand to stay, won't run away, will face each day

lyrics

Music was the first passion we shared The Zilbot and I But no-one truly shared the vision of our sound A despicable crime When we met the others just after Their long quest was done Musical calibration It's the grandest union Azil plays a really mean lead Jinzin pounds out a thick bass line Tutter keeps us all in the moment with a hard beat Bourac tears up with the rhythm Caelsic gives it spice and some flair I drive tunes with some lovely keys Bourac and the others never dreamed Here they'd play anthems The first mem-jumpers or gods of Universe But just look how far they've come Music was just a way to pass through Endless duration But now they share our vision It's the grandest union Azil plays a really mean lead Jinzin pounds out a thick bass line Tutter keeps us all in the moment with a hard beat Bourac tears up with the rhythm Caelsic gives it spice and some flair I drive tunes with some lovely keys It's something greatly unique Like this cute little beat We are filled with wonderful joy when we all play It's such a lovely feeling When our instruments sing And it matters not if we are ever heard Our own company is enough And I know not every one will understand One can hate our timbres And one can despise our melodies It doesn't matter much because We do this for our selves first Music is the thread of our bond

Dream with Me 2023 05:25
lyrics

I adore the way you dream with me And present this for all the world to see But if it's forgotten and bygone I will still have you Don't let those who control control you Fearless wizards press their will to view Their magic is power that deceives Perhaps not wrong but perhaps not for you A small matter, the focus is will Do you wish to eat their answers still? One great treasure is an other's waste Coincidence is not the answer here And in to the dream I return I will see you there I lay me down To dream a song I appall the masters, but that's all right 'Cause I abhor those bastards, set in flight I ignore the casters of of what is liked And write this song for you I adore the way you dream with me And present this for all the world to see But if it's forgotten and bygone I will still have you I dream of some thing more than this world Foolishness per haps but passion swirled I can tell that you have seen it too, come through I write this song for you and I Break through with me, write a verse or two Make them jealous of the notes you use Tear down walls of expectations Deliver majesty in a dream state I appall the masters, but that's all right 'Cause I abhor those bastards, set in flight I ignore the casters of of what is liked And write this song for you Fetch from madness some thing quite unreveiled Paint a soundscape from the darkness of your mind You may find it quite fathomlessly true to What you seek from the world that is about you And in to the dream I return I will see you there I lay me down To dream a song I appall the masters, but that's all right 'Cause I abhor those bastards, set in flight I ignore the casters of of what is liked And write this song for you I adore the way you dream with me And present this for all the world to see But if it's forgotten and bygone I will still have you

Black Mind 2023 07:20

Do not suffer when the light goes out There is power in darkness, the reigns open to all From the shadows all our fear flows Harness it to summon a symphony of black To embrace what terrifies you and claim it for adventure true Embrace the dark, embrace the black Black mind Laugh in to the madness, fuse dark to thine aura Temper thy self in black, feel the force Transform your fears in to blackness of mind Power from darkness, relinquish to find All of your doubts, some sanity don't miss Cleanliness of mind, it does not exist Not far away is your salvation Black mind We must balance the light with the dark There is evil in darkness, but evil we are not Thou hast suffered, the time comes to fight Make the evil fear your spark, don a shroud of the black To embrace what terrifies you and claim it for adventure true Embrace the dark, embrace the black Black mind

And a Lot of This Stuff (Abridged Vocal Edition) 2023 07:42
lyrics
buy track
Inspiration we all need but idolization we don't We shouldn't expect to conceive without wisdom, face it now, you won't Music is a drive for all, not just those driven to compose Take it in, feel something grand, a mind should never close The moment has come Sit back, relax Or stand, prepare to dance for A chorused refrain attack Listen to the melody and let it carry you off Don't feel bad for this obsession 'cause I know that I cannot get enough Take in all of this melody and feel it flow through you But before I trigger awe inspire just remember that you can do it too In some moments feelings need release, art is a great way But please be sure to make it for you first, or to your unconscious you'll pay Don't be confined by your tools, we use them, you recall? And creativity builds up, again, again, we mustn't stagnate, or we'll fall Push in to a great drive, I say it again and again Don't feel bad for obsession, but don't let it lead to you end Let the sounds consume you, a vessel of bliss you can be Let it help you, lift you up Listen to the melody and let it carry you off Don't feel bad for this obsession 'cause I know that I cannot get enough Take in all of this melody and feel it flow through you But before I trigger awe inspire just remember that you can do it too A little bit of everything, and a little bit more, something more, and a lot of this stuff The music speaks fine by its self, but I guess that just isn't enough A burning passion keeps me standing, what do you stand for? Simply a melody can be what you need, and nothing more Push in to a great drive, I say it again and again Don't feel bad for obsession, but don't let it lead to you end Let the sounds consume you, a vessel of bliss you can be Let it help you, lift you up Listen to the melody and let it carry you off Don't feel bad for this obsession 'cause I know that I cannot get enough Take in all of this melody and feel it flow through you But before I trigger awe inspire just remember that you can do it too Live on to achieve, live on to achieve, live on to achieve, and never let your satisfaction cease

I fought to be free from all the tyranny I fight to be free from the mediocrity Full of power, uncertainty All this power can't save me Full of power, uncertainty All this power can't free me Drive lost, will gone, so how can I feel this? The need to be again a champion of the cause Have I finally lost? The beauty no longer inspires me I guess that I have lived for too long But I can't see myself going out with anything less than a bang I'm not altogether lost I strive for an adventure as epic as was I'm not fully cast away Endeavor for adventure so wonderful, as was before Madness, crude fix, anything to cure this What's left feels like quite a callous empty shell What's right? Can't tell, to follow Aufaust? Might as well Mighty courage, futility All this knowledge won't help me Mighty courage, futility All this knowledge won't aid me I must press on, determined to feel again The need to be again a champion of the cause I will not soon give up The beauty no longer inspires me But I will crusade to bring it back I can't conceive this god going out with anything less than a bang I'm not altogether lost I strive for an adventure as epic as was I'm not fully cast away Endeavor for adventure so wonderful, as was I'm not altogether lost I srtive for an adventure as epic as was I'm not fully cast away Endeavor for adventure so wonderful, as was before

She fought against all odds with and without me Beyond sanity, beyond reality she succeeds Against my madness, against her own, suffering through battles and a void of torment Beyond the mind cage she survives and lives free My oath to her is to always stand beside her Because I know that she is here to fight for me Feind and VizilV are far gone and behind us but possibility is far more severe You are what keeps me facing it You are my everything Sword in hand, always prepared to make a stand to fight for the balance of Universe My doubts, my fears, my hesitation All my weakness you absterse I will never forget, all that we have been through (the first time we met) My mind will not consent it, my true life began with you She fought against all odds with and without me Beyond validity, beyond gravity she achieves What great beauty, admiration, I can't describe accurately what this is To me, she stands on the edge of possibility I trust none more than she I embrace no one as gladly Love is a word perverted by futile minds who wallow helplessly and alone What we are is what's real, you're a part of me You are my home Sword in hand, always prepared to make a stand to fight for the balance of Universe My doubts, my fears, my hesitation All my weakness you absterse I feel that this is second to none There's no thing more than this I should not believe in perfection But perfect is what this is A sword like that is a symbol of honor in the highest degree A form such as your self, of grand purity When I look inside my self I see you there at the core And I hope to see you there for ever more A sword like that is a symbol of honor in the highest degree A form such as your self, of grand purity When I look in side my self I see you there at the core And I hope to see you there for ever more Majesty engulfs me when I look in to your eyes Inspiration screams passion when I see that smirk of yours It feels so good, it hurts me I can't imagine Universe without this It feels so good, it hurts me Such indescribable bliss bursts from me Alizia, my perfect, your rune is carved in to the surface Of the sword that slays my demons, I thank Universe every moment that I recall this Alizia, my perfect, the mind of Universe is empty without you From the start, beginning in Star's statue garden, and every other mind you have been is everything I want to feel

A voice moves silent through The twisted city streets The eyes, from tangled gardens, peer He grins a broken smile through shattered teeth He brings the darkest time of year And he will save us now And he will take us underground Where we'll never be bound by love Or the nightmares above The night of dreams, when things are not as they may seem Before the day we'll never know He will take us while we're sleeping And he will never let us go And he will save us now And he will take us underground Where we'll never be bound by love Or the nightmares above Follow the sound It's leading us down Into the kingdom of under We're lost and we're found We're Nothing & Nowhere Forever and ever And he will save us now And he will take us underground Where we'll never be bound by love Or the nightmares above

Too eager to appease The cure is the disease And it's only growing worse Day by day it takes its hold Divides its cells a thousand-fold And makes your blindness seem perverse Out of sight and out of mind Are deadly traits when they're combined But it's easier that way Sit and watch the world go by While all the problems multiply With nothing left to do but pray I am the rain Falling down to cover you Wish me away But I'm here for your own good I am the storm Sent to wake you from your dream Show me your scorn But you'll thank me in the end These amenities are nice But there is need for sacrifice You must lose so you may gain It's too easy to malign The implements that steal our time But it's we who are to blame Fill your pockets while you can And try to keep the upper hand The voice of reason sounds so shrill Surround yourself with all you own Work your fingers to the bone And happiness evades you still I am the rain Falling down to cover you Wish me away But I'm here for your own good I am the storm Sent to wake you from your dream Show me your scorn But you'll thank me in the end Too eager to appease You've lost the forest for the trees And it really is a shame It is such a sorry sight When you evaluate your life You've only got yourself to blame I am the rain Falling down to cover you Wish me away But I'm here for your own good I am the storm Sent to wake you from your dream Show me your scorn But you'll thank me in the end

I'd only come here seeking peace I'd only come here seeking me It seems I came to leave In your dream, you see me clear I have no restraint, no fear Powerless I watched from faces I'd assumed My purpose set, my will defined Caress the air, embrace the skies Escape the sorrow and restraint of mortal cities Give me time, I will be clear Given time, you'll understand What possesses me to right what you have suffered I'm in this mood because of scorn I'm in a mood for total war To the darkened skies once more and ever onward So many years I'd stood among The thoughts and tears of those I served Among my own I was alone through my own doing All the years I walked unknown behind the faces I assumed Powerless to clear your minds of what you'd suffered They fall again Give me time, I will be clear Given time, you'll understand What possesses me to right what you have suffered I'm in this mood because of scorn I'm in a mood for total war To the darkened skies once more and ever onward There is no faith in which to hide Even truth is filled with lies Doubting angels fall to walk among the living I'm in this mood because of scorn I'm in a mood for total war To the darkened skies once more and ever onward I'd only come here seeking peace I'd only come here seeking me It seems I came to leave I'd only come here seeking peace I'd only come here seeking me

The sun rises every morning But why are we so sure? I'm looking out of the window Empires arise and fall We've been so long together Forgotten hopes and pleasure But when the time is right We'll open our hearts And disclose the treasure So there are you And here am I Let's realize our dream The time is right Try to read between the lines We've been running Over battlefields From century to century, to century Nothing wrong nothing right There was no day There was no night The sun rises every morning But why are we so sure? I'm looking out of the window Empires arise and fall We've been so long together Forgotten hopes and pleasure But when the time is right We'll open our hearts And disclose the treasure So there are you And here am I Let's realize our dream The time is right Try to read between the lines We've been running Over battlefields From century to century, to century Nothing wrong nothing right There was no day There was no night We took every painful step Life for life and side by side But finally look around Some are lost and some are found Lass die Erinnerung erwachen I love you So here are you And here am I Let's realize our dream So here are you And here am I I'm still waiting for you

You always wanna be the best It's a struggle without an end Running as fast as you can But you will never reach your goal It's the struggle of our daily life Of politics and war Everyone here runs so fast But never seems to finish And suddenly you find yourself Running with the Red Queen Through valleys and over hills And sometimes against the stream And suddenly you realize Nothing here is what it seems You are beyond the looking glass Like Alice and the Red Queen And when you wonder why You cannot get to this point Cannot finish what you started Then you are through the looking glass And suddenly you find yourself Running with the Red Queen Through valleys and over hills And sometimes against the stream And suddenly you realize Nothing here is what it seems You are beyond the looking glass Like Alice and the Red Queen You're far beyond reality Or isn't this the real world? Where we all struggle and fight Without knowing what it's all for And suddenly you find yourself Running with the Red Queen Through valleys and over hills And sometimes against the stream And suddenly you realize Nothing here is what it seems You are beyond the looking glass Like Alice and the Red Queen

Watching those flowers burning out tonight Screams and soft lovers, memories of a fight Slowly the clouds are fading into a cage While from my hands is falling another page Dreams and lost days are burning in the past Velvet black rays are drifting now so fast And in the great light I cannot see no more Where is the right side, where is the golden door? Mornings and colors are playing out of here Because I don't remember the memories of fear The aura of the moondawn is losing her contours Sweet angels of heaven are missing their return Dreams and lost days are burning in the past Velvet black rays are drifting now so fast And in the great light I cannot see no more Where is the right side, where is the golden door? Dreams and lost days are burning in the past Velvet black rays are drifting now so fast And in the great light I cannot see no more Where is the right side, where is the golden door? Echoes of whispers so similar to paint Distant, so distant, like diamonds in the rain And if for a moment these lights are on your lips I know, there's no answer, but a wonderful eclipse

Early works were mostly instrumental. That changed with Bronze. The goal of the project is to break down genre boundaries, keep music inventive, and inspire. ... more
