ReProgram…
Looking at the child content so happy
running playing wild, laughing and loving free
Then he goes to school knowledge in the mind
telling him what’s true and now the magic’s died
Where’s the wonderment?
Programming… Conforming…
Boxing in their little minds…destroying all creativeness…
Why do we believe that we can foresee
Where the world will go or a child’s destiny
We crush them when they're wrong
they fight but will concede, eventually they fear
killing their originality.
ReProgram…
We’re all born artists remaining one is hard
We’re taught the tried and true and it’s taken all away
Obvious to some we know there is more
What would we become if allowed to grow into
our own passions?
Perfecting… Connecting
Expanding our minds…exploring all creation…
Why do we believe in this society
in twisting the young minds in our own conformity
We steal away their dreams we’re telling them they’ll fail
We value academics as the only holy grail

Pointing Fingers:
It seems too good to be real it’s just an illusion
for every moment of truth there’s just more confusion
You’ve got a tongue that cuts like a razor knife
always lobbing dung with the accuracy of a laser guide…
Just as Cold as Ice Willing to Sacrifice I know
You Wanted Paradise
Once you made your Choice there’s no taking it back
once you been Branded you’ll always be under attack
Tell me…so many lost who has won?
when we… turn our backs to the sun…
has the battle just begun? Is it the time to turn and run?
a cut that’s deep in my heart…won’t tear us apart!
Just as Cold as Ice Willing to Sacrifice our Love
You Wanted Paradise…
Someday I’ll Pay the Price I know
I’ve Seen it all before…
What did you do now what did I hear you say
you’re never happy just want it your own way…
A stranger in my house a pain that lingers
two different worlds always pointing fingers
Send me that look yeah Opposites Attract
Salt and Pepper Faster to React
Say the word Yeah that would Thrill me
Quick to Anger Looks that kill me…
Looks that Kill me
Looks that Kill me…
Just as Cold as Ice Willing to Sacrifice our Love
You Wanted Paradise…
Someday I’ll Pay the Price I know
I’ve Seen it all before…

Stand Your Ground
What is Freedom when your World is Crashing Down
and your Face is Bloodied from the Last Round
Never Give an Inch, Say it with a Smile…
Never Give up cause they’ll always Take a Mile
Set your course of Action
Never feel the Reaction
Stand your Ground… Gotta be Strong in your Resolution
Stand your Ground… Never Let anyone Sell you their Mind Pollution!
DeProgram…
What’s the use in Speaking Truth when everyone Believes the Lie?
Those that Blindly Follow rules like to Mock and to Ridicule you!
Because they can no longer Understand…Ohhh
the Unique Dreams of a Woman or a Man.
Stand your Ground… We all gotta Deal with the Fear of Rejection
Stand your Ground… Guard yourself with a bit of Self Love and Protection!
DeProgram…

Technology

Technology:
When I started making noise, so psyched hanging with the boys
learning songs, making posters, hangin’ out in music stores
We practiced every day, made our plans our own way
booking shows, playing parties, to buy some new gear
always a new toy to help us make more noise…
Technology, Technology oh can’t you see it’s
Pushing me Forward, it’s it’s own Reward
Technology, Technology oh can’t you see it’s
a New Sound Now so they’ll say wow…
Now I sit in my spare room, in a minute I can share a tune
texting riffs, sending songs, writing on my iPhone
Though the web we’re all affected, social media all connected
never thought I’d see the day when things happened so quickly
getting kind of bored, there’s nothing really hard.
Technology, Technology oh can’t you see it’s
Pushing us Faster, it’s now our Ringmaster
Technology, Technology oh can’t you see it’s
a planetary gear… don’t bring up the rear!
-solo- (Kim Olesen)
Now in the Future, we’re Consciously Connected via Internal
Cerebral Communication Implants…
Technology, Technology oh can’t you see a
part of who we are, but have we gone too far…
Technology, Technology oh can’t you see it’s
a planetary gear, don’t bring up the rear!
Technology, Technology oh can’t you see it’s
Pushing us Faster it’s now our Ringmaster…
Technology, Technology oh can’t you see we’re
devoted hopelessly, too connected to see…
How will we still be free?
Will we swim in a virtual sea?
How will we use it next?
Will it be via virtual sex?

Reaction Formation:
What’s inside you that’s so broken
Are you not feeling enough love
is this what causes you to lash out
can you not see the contradiction?
The twisted pit of fear
you’ve dug only getting deeper
as you find yourself alone
with only your thoughts and emotions
Reaction Formation
Can you see the contradiction?
Reaction Formation
ohhh…
Are you so sure you're the enlightened
or are you just self-righteous?
Accepting others where they are…
or should everyone be just like you?
The twisted pit of fear
you’ve dug only getting deeper
as you find yourself alone
with only your thoughts and emotions…
Reaction Formation
Can you see the contradiction?
Reaction Formation
ohhh…
Unconditional Love is Acceptance
Unconditional Love is Harmony
Unconditional Love is Peace

Judgment born from Fear…
Antithesis…antithesis of Love

Limitless

Limitless:
I’m caught in the flow of the river
Relaxed never fighting the current
I’m just attempting to miss all the sharp rocks
and looking for the point of convergence
I’ve got this feeling of who I want to be,
what am I thinking, are my thoughts aligned?
No sabotaging the flow of the mojo
Knowing things happen when it’s their time
I am Limitless… the writer of my destiny
You are Limitless… it only takes us to believe!
I’ve gone rogue my focus better than ever
I can see clearly the goal in my mind…
Every day I attack it relentlessly
from every angle, I can foresee
Never fearing what it brings
Always focused on my dreams
Never doubting what comes next...
Never blocking the route of success!
I am Limitless… the writer of my destiny
You are Limitless… it only takes us to believe!
Remember we’re all encoded
with what is bad and good
what is truth and what’s fiction…
Never doubting what comes next…
Never blocking the route of success!
-Solo- (Markus Sigfridsson)
I am Limitless… the writer of my destiny
You are Limitless… it only takes us to believe!
Limitless…

Wide Open

Wide Open:
Eyes Wide Open… Eyes Wide Shut
Will we be directed, or will we go with our gut?
Are we truly connected, or the cord need to be cut?
Eyes Wide Open…or Eyes Wide Shut!
Driving your point hammering away
give it a rest even for a day
filling our ears with endless chatter
it’s become clear that facts don’t matter!
Attention drifting and unbound
this is your call to action
are you a part of the machine
join the main attraction
It’s time to wake America
this time we’ll make it loud as hell
time to end the epidemic
it’s time to drain the well…
Frame it, tell it, share it, sell it…
It’s all in the spin!
Hear it, read it, see it, do it
An illusion of choice to box you in!
Are you a rebel or do you care what they say…
fighting for what’s right alone in the fray?
News refraction… a young generation
Faux information… time to wake up a Nation!
-solo- (Mattias iA Eklundh)
Eyes Wide Open… Eyes Wide Shut
Will we be directed, or will we go with our gut?
Are we truly connected, or the cord need to be cut?
Eyes Wide Open…or Eyes Wide Shut!
It’s time to wake America
this time we’ll make it loud as hell
It’s time to end the epidemic
it’s time to drain the well…
Misinformation, Misdirection
The Enemy of Freedom
Are the Politics of Magicians
Are we truly connected
or the cord need to be cut?
Eyes Wide Open!

Chaotica:
Turn the news on it’s always the same
it’s all bad but that’ll never change
Talking Heads dish out the daily Poison
tune in for your dose of Paranoia…
It’s alright now, it’s not as bad…
it’s not as bad as they say
They could sell you good news…
but that’s not why you tune in…
Chaotica…We love the drama of Chaotica!
Talk all day long and Lie
the Media Bias has reached an all-time high
Say it so often makes you wonder why?
Time to Tune Out and Reach for the Sky…
It’s alright now, it’s not as bad…
it’s not as bad as they say
They could sell good news…
but that’s not why you tune in
Chaotica…We love the drama of Chaotica!
Ohhhhaaaahhhh…

Spell of Domestication

Spell of Domestication:
Punishment and Reward,
same as I train a pet I’m scared
Society has trained the Wolf into a dog…
now it’s time to face the world with War Paint on.
I’ll be great with words, won’t take it personally
I won’t assume I know and I’ll do my best
Because the goal is to Break the Spell of Domestication...
I’ll be Aware and stop the Fear Reaction
time to claim my Own Power
Independent of all other peoples opinions
they’re just reacting from their own conditioning
Dream…
Because the goal is to Break the Spell of Domestication...
Allowing my Spirit to Fly the Magic and the Mastery of Intent
It’s a struggle to break free from all the programming
Fear and Self Doubt plaguing me
Guilt, Incrimination, Self Abuse and Rage…
But I’ll Calm the Storm remembering where it’s Born.
-Guitar solo-(Matt Hodsdon)
-Keyboard solo (Fred Colombo)
Punishment and Reward,
same as I train a pet I’m scared
Because the goal is to Break the Spell of Domestication...
Allowing my Spirit to Fly the Magic and the Mastery of Intent

Perfect World:
When you’re afraid in the darkness
I’ll burn bright for you like a candle in the black
Every new doubt that emerges
will be easily known, easily handled with a quick come back
Never say goodbye!
I don’t want to lose you ( I don’t want to lose you )
You're my best friend now
I never abuse you ( I’ll never abuse you )
Let us Transcend now
In a Perfect World, we’ll be together
even though skies can be grey
In a Perfect World, we’d never have to wave goodbye
as I watch you walk away
In a Perfect World, we’d keep things simple
all my problems blown away
In a Perfect World, we’d be, everything’d be fine
No broken hearts, no scars, no pain…
I know you won’t deceive me darling
I know you’ll always treat me right
You know I won’t reveal your secrets
Our Love’s so strong everything will be alright
Never say goodbye!
I don’t want to lose you ( I don’t want to lose you )
you're my best friend now
I never abuse you ( I’ll never abuse you )
Let us transcend now
In a Perfect World, we’ll be together
even though skies can be grey
In a Perfect World, we’d never have to wave goodbye
as I watch you walk away
In a Perfect World, we’d keep things simple
all my problems blown away
In a Perfect World, we’d be, everything be fine
No Broken Hearts, no scars, no pain…

A Mind at War

A Mind at War:
There’s a coldness in the air
moon reflecting from sparkling snow
a looming blue drenching the view
far from my breath adding rainbow
from night to day the blinding light warms the world to its core
Between the Beauty of Darkness and Light
(a Mind at War)
a Balance of Power seems to Unite
(a Mind at War)
Rolling thunder echos in the darkness of the night sky
like a reflection off the hidden lake of my mind
a star that’s light is ever decreasing and obscure
by the looming clouds increasing that threaten to blur
Watching, Waiting, Wanting, Placating, Taunting, Baiting…
Between the Beauty of Darkness and Light
(a Mind at War)
a Balance of Power seems to Unite
(a Mind at War)
Twisting, Turning it’s Burning, it’s way in my mind…
Guessing, Obsessing, just which way from this I should climb
Calming, Collecting I’m making my intentions so clear
Soaring, I’m Drifting all is Zen
Between the Beauty of Darkness and Light
(a Mind at War)
a Balance of Power seems to Unite
(a Mind at War)
Between the Beauty of Darkness and Light
(a Mind at War)
a Balance of Power seems to Unite
(a Mind at War)
(Eulogy)
There’s a gothic scene a majestic beauty hiding there
amongst the glories of my other Lightmare…
Between the Beauty of Darkness and Light
a Balance of Power seems to Unite
Floating, Emoting, Flying so very high
Racing, Embracing, here I am alone in the sky…
Between the Beauty of Darkness and Light
a Balance of Power seems to Unite
-Keyboard solo (Fred Columbo)
-Guitar solo in tandem (Rich Hinks)
Between the beauty of Darkness and Light
(on a fine Lakeshore)
a Balance of Power seems to Unite
(on a fine Lakeshore)
Between the beauty of Darkness and the Light
(on a fine Lakeshore)
a Balance of Power seems to Unite
(on a fine Lakeshore)
