Colony 5 - Colonisation (2004)

Here comes the rush
that splits my heart in two
one daunted, one lush
to support and subdue
I'm on the edge
going too fast to breathe
too fast but to hold on
too fast but to seethe

Accelerate
Digest the rush
Feel free for once
This is life
Accelerate
Near the edge
Unsafe for once
This is life
Accelerate
Headlights off
Pity the ones
Without life
Accelerate
Eyes wide shut
Alive for once
This is life

Feel the pulse
blood rushes through your veins
for once alive
as woken from the dead
we have found the pace
together invincible
we are here to stay
awaken in a new world

Should I be scared
How do you all fight the thoughts about death
The feeling of emptiness in our hearts
Do we exist to be or go on to a higher place
Or a lower and not so loved, we can call it hell

When I die will the emptiness eat me like alive
Will there be a tunnel of light like a sign
To guide the way to something greater than the mind
I want some answers fill me in before I'll die

Who's to say how we choose the way we want to go
Maybe even possible to reborn in different shapes
It's all a question mark printed in my head
I have to confess my sins before I'll give in

When I die will the emptiness eat me like alive
Will there be a tunnel of light like a sign
To guide the way to something greater than the mind
I want some answers fill me in before I'll die

Will the emptiness eat me like alive
Will there be a tunnel of light like a sign
To guide the way to something greater than the mind
I want some answers fill me in before I'll die

Black eyes, black lips, black nails
We're dancing a slow dance
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails
At the sharp blade of romance

Black eyes, black lips, black nails
We're dancing a slow dance
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails
At the sharp blade of romance

Tongue of ash catches drop
From sharp and bloody steel
We've danced too long to ever stop
It's time for a broken mind to heal

Black stare could shatter stone
Black knife rests, white body prone
Dark angels watch the play below
Black soul wants to die young
Black lips smile when dark tongue
Tastes the wine from your kind

Black eyes, black lips, black nails
We're dancing a slow dance
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails
At the sharp blade of romance

Black eyes, black lips, black nails
We're dancing a slow dance
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails
At the sharp blade of romance

Crimson tongue catches drop
From nails like razor blades
The dance is done, the game is won
It's time for a broken heart to feel

Black eyes, black lips, black nails
We're dancing a slow dance
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails
At the sharp blade of romance

Black eyes, black lips, black nails
We're dancing a slow dance
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails
At the sharp blade of romance

Black eyes
Black lips

Civil wars over the world, powerful unions interfere
It's a dangerous situation for us all
Atomic bombs are ready to be launched
It's time we unite, it's time we scan the universe
We had to move on

We seek colony 5

We have the technology for destruction
Can we use that knowledge to survive?
Reverse the process and make something great
Our calling is not to die
We have to find a way to survive

We seek colony 5
The time is right
Last chance for mankind
To survive

We seek colony 5
The time is right
Last chance for mankind
To survive

We seek colony 5

Send a satellite out in space to find the answers
Are we alone, can we find an equal place?
We have to move along before it's too late
Unite, lay down your weapons
This is the chance to find a better way

We have the technology for destruction
Can we use that knowledge to survive?
Reverse the process and make something great
Our calling is not to die
We have to find a way to survive

We have the technology for destruction
Can we use that knowledge to survive?
Reverse the process and make something great
Our calling is not to die
We have to find a way to survive

This must be fate
like on the movie screens
it's the first time for all
is this really what I need?

Come back to me
You belong here
All the gods of this age
will become enraged
if you are not by my side

Give me time
Give me your life
I'll give you mine
Two lovers entwined

This is fate
it has to happen
it's bound to be
I know you're not free
but fate can't be too late

Give me time
Give me your life
I'll give you mine
Two lovers entwined

My mind is clear
My place is here
I'll stand my ground
I'll never leave
I'm not a puppet on a string

Stand up for yourself
Stand up for your life
Make your own path
Follow your heart

I don't need someone to guide me through my life
I don't need someone to see things through my eyes
Although the goals I have are out of sight
I have to find them myself, this is my own fight

Please leave it alone
You are not my clone
We have different goals
and skills unknown
and I would like to discover my own

Stand up for yourself
Stand up for your life
Make your own path
Follow your heart

I've seen this before
But not so close to heart
So much anger to release
The chemicals put it there

Life is not a movie
This is fact, not fiction
Push the trigger
And kill your addiction

How does it feel
To be like you
How can you hate
The way you do

Time heals disputes
At least it does for me
No anger left to release
I've felt it disappear

Crawl out of your misery
And defeat your insanity
Don't push the trigger
'Cause you are free

Life is hard, for some people it's even a hell
The smell of lack of hope every day I pass this way
Begging for a way to get its own addiction relieved
No minor roof over its head covered with some plastic bags
Constitutes its bed

The last chance
Look inside you
Analyze yourself
Review your life
Find out went wrong
What is causing you this sad song?

Life is hard, for some people it's even a hell
To wake up spending the next hours working somewhere
Most people get used to this way of life
Only a few try to break the chain
Break themselves free from this useless way to find them with no fear

The last chance
Look inside you
Analyze yourself
Review your life
Find out what went wrong
What is causing you this sad song?

Let your sense show you the way
Look inside you
Review your life
Find out what went wrong
What is causing you this sad song?

Let your sense show you the way
Look inside you

The last chance
The last chance
The last chance
The last chance

Can't believe my eyes
She's so sweet and still so clean
Had to make my move
I had to get you this once
No time to lose

Do you mind if I put my arms around you
Would you be pleased if I took you home with me
Do you mind if I gave you a kiss and touch you
Then we make love until the sun will rise

And we wake up, looking at each other try to remember
But the headache reminds me how drunk I was
You are not so sweet and not so clean anymore
I've got to get out
Please can you leave

Do you mind if I put my arms around you
Would you be pleased if I took you home with me
Do you mind if I gave you a kiss and touch you
Then we make love until the sun will rise

Do you mind (Do you mind)
Do you mind (Do you mind)

Do you mind if I put my arms around you
Would you be pleased if I took you home with me
Do you mind if I gave you a kiss and touch you
Then we make love until the sun will rise

Do you mind if I put my arms around you
Would you be pleased if I took you home with me
Do you mind if I gave you a kiss and touch you
Then we make love until the sun will rise

Do you mind if I put my arms around you
Would you be pleased if I took you home with me
Do you mind if I gave you a kiss and touch you
Then we make love until the sun will rise

Do you mind

Dim the light, it hurts my eyes
It scars my skin and shatter my lies,
Fold the blinds, let's stay inside

Take my hand, I'll give you strength
Come with me, we'll make our way,
Through the light, into the night

Welcome to my world,
It's calm and cold
Welcome to my soul,
It's withered and old

Welcome to my mind,
Tread lightly and slow
Welcome to my love,
Touch it and make it grow

We belong to this, this protected room
The world outside is for the ones,
That's not afraid to lose

So take my hand, you are invited in
Share my darkness and my lust,
I'm filled to the brim

Welcome to my world,
It's calm and cold
Welcome to my soul,
It's withered and old

Welcome to my mind,
Tread lightly and slow
Welcome to my love,
Touch it and make it grow

Welcome to my world,
It's calm and cold
Welcome to my soul,
It's withered and old

Welcome to my mind,
Tread lightly and slow
Welcome to my love,
Touch it and make it grow

I'm getting up, it's oh so cold
Come over here and warm my soul
You are so hot; I take what you've got
And I ask for more, never been so cold before

I can climb the mountains I can sail on the seas
But only if you have faith in me

The clock strikes noon, dinner is breakfast
I'm feeling alright
I hate my life but love is a light
When day becomes night I'm feeling all right

Science, eternal life,
clones replacing each other on a line
Who are you, deceiving nature?
Who are you?
You're not a god!

An enhanced gene pool, perfection in the bin
No need for schools, he who dares wins
We have turned biology into technology
We have the factory but not the entire recipe

Breeding humans; mutants for special needs
A perfect DNA, a killing machine
Superior species, developed for special needs
A nature in chaos, science or madness
we fail to see (the difference)

White coated hubris, creating life
No first kiss, you construct your own wife
Who are you, eluding nature?
Who are you?
You're the modern God!

I always see you as my queen
I could do everything for you to make you pleased
I saw you as the most precious thing I could have
I thought you were reflecting the same feelings I do for you
But, I was wrong
Yeah, I was wrong
I was second hand to you all along

I saw you sneak away in a car
With the darkest windows but even then
I could see it so bright like stars
I followed you like the shadow I am
And what I saw tore me apart
I was your second choice and not your star

And now I can see it there when I held your hand
I can feel the dirt you're covered in all along
I despise you I don't like you anymore
And still I held on to you like your second hand clothes

And now I can see it there when I held your hand
I can feel the dirt you're covered in all along
I despise you I don't like you anymore
And still I held on to you like your second hand clothes

And now I can see it there when I held your hand
I can feel the dirt you're covered in all along
I despise you I don't like you anymore
And still I held on to you like your second hand clothes

They're closing in I feel their breath
I cannot live without the secrets of my past
Their scent is strong my will is weak
They read my mind I cannot hide

Kill my sorrow I could die tomorrow
If you don't forgive me, my heart is still in me
I run through the night and leave neon-trails
My fluorescent blood shines through my skin
My heart is a beacon they're homing in

From probing tongues or eager lips
I brace myself from their fingertips
They touch my skin my shield is down
My eyes are black
my darkness is back

Kill my sorrow my soul isn't borrowed
So please forgive me, the trackers have set me free
