2.	Velvet Lash 06:29	lyrics	buy track
Try to feel the velvet lash Creeping down your back like a furtive serpent Was it just a loving hand's caress Or have you been tricked to bow to a shaded stranger Do you feel the poison That is flooding your veins You notice the numbness Creeping its way into your heart Rid the false embrace Whispering your troubled mind to sleep Or is it yet too late To trade all warm words for a free decision Did you feel the poison That has flooded your veins You noticed no numbness That crept its way into your heart
3.	The Fugitive 05:09	lyrics	buy track
Unwind the leash gripping you tight Leap the rootage catching your sight Quench the embers down your road Burning your future to vicious smoke Steady the pace Kick the ashes behind you Let them veil your track Flow the heated streams of air Only perseverance Will make you reach the ocean's chill Sweet tranquillity Needed time to treat your wounds As an amputee Got rid of the festering limbs No time for memory It might be the fatal glimpse Unwind the leash gripping you tight Leap the rootage catching your sight Quench the embers down your road Burning your future to vicious smoke Steady the pace Kick the ashes behind you Let them veil your track Flow the heated streams of air Phantoms of your old life Penetrate the fog like rays Shining in gleaming light Burning your freshly moulted skin There is no way To run even faster than light But yet you may Powder the air to absorb the sight
4.	Leave Them Running On And On 06:02	lyrics	buy track
Where is the here Where I stay What leads my mind Show me who I am When is the now Where is the time What leads my mind Show me who I am How can I break the walls of perception How can I realize what's going on So let us move like a puppet on a string Like a puppet on a string Leave them running on and on Into your knife into your plan So your slavery survive Try to finnish their free lives
5.	Western Fortress 03:56	lyrics	buy track
I hear the echoes Of their mourning grief Of their screaming rage Their pounding at my gates My guards stand ready Their guns at hand As my fear takes over I caw the command They know they're wrong But couldn't see another way Veil of ignorance is fading But guilt fastens anger I know I'm wrong But didn't dare another way My choices sealed our fate Pandemonium cries for me Dead flesh keeps falling Men, children all alike But the source is endless And my bullets are finite Dull, empty faces Staring on both sides My elite, the privileged Dehumanized
