In the Shadow of the Closed City

They regulate the air, they regulate the sound Keep your face in the dirt, keep your ear to the ground Scanning the barcode tattooed on your soul While the man in the tower loses all control Check the pulse, is it beating or dead? Believe exactly what the television said Ignite the fuse Nothing to lose They light the fuse WE REFUSE! Breath in the smoke, choke on the lies! Tear down the curtain, open your eyes! The machine is turning, grinding the bone! Take back the power from the silicon throne! Pocket full of shells? No, pocket full of greed Planting the doubt like a poisonous seed Click, scroll, obey, repeat Marching like soldiers on a dead-end street Who gave the order? Who signed the deal? Can you feel the weight of the boot on your heel? Breath in the smoke, choke on the lies! Tear down the curtain, open your eyes! The machine is turning, grinding the bone! Take back the power from the silicon throne! It starts with a whisper... It starts with a whisper... It starts with a scream! IT STARTS WITH A SCREAM! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! Burn the machinery! Burn the machinery!

偽物の空を　泳ぐだけの毎日 指先ひとつで　殺されるアイデンティティ 予定調和の　檻の中で笑え お前の温度は　あと何度残ってる？ 剥がれ落ちた　カモフラージュの裏で 震えているのは　誰の魂だ？ 掠れた声でいい　名前を呼んでくれ このノイズの海に　消えてしまう前に 美しくなくていい　傷跡を見せてくれ 泥濘（ぬかるみ）の中でも　まだ鼓動は　ここにあるから 正解のフリした　冷たい既製品 誰かの真似事で　埋めていくカレンダー そんな顔して　死ぬまで待つつもりか？ 本物の痛みを　まだ覚えているか？ 壊せ！ 叫べ！ 孤独を　その体温を　力に変えて GO!!!!! 掠れた声でいい　名前を呼んでくれ このノイズの海に　消えてしまう前に 美しくなくていい　傷跡を見せてくれ 泥濘（ぬかるみ）の中でも　まだ鼓動は　ここにあるから ...Here I am! Don't let the fire die. Don't let it go.

Turn it up. Walking on the wire, city never sleeps Pavement cracking underneath my feet Tick-tock, watch the clock, running out of time Committing to the rhythm like a perfect crime Everyone is talking but nobody hears Drowning in the noise, grinding on the gears Plastic smiles, digital lies I see the emptiness behind your eyes Pressure rising, I can't hold it back The walls are closing in, fade to black Concrete veins, I’m paralyzed Screaming at the hollow skies Is this the life we left behind? Searching for a pulse I cannot find (I cannot find!) [Back to Funk Groove: Bass heavy, drums tight] [Vocals: Aggressive Rap, faster flow] Back in the cage, rattle the bars Hiding the bruises, covering the scars System error, logic is dead Voices getting louder inside my head Snap back, slap back, hit the low string Dance like a puppet, kiss the ring Pressure rising, I won't hold it back! Break the cycle, fade to black! Concrete veins, I’m paralyzed Screaming at the hollow skies Is this the life we left behind? Searching for a pulse I cannot find Am I just a ghost in the machine? Washing my hands but they never get clean... Never get clean... NEVER GET CLEAN! Concrete veins, I’m paralyzed Screaming at the hollow skies Is this the life we left behind? Searching for a pulse I cannot find Yeah, searching for a pulse...

Look up at the sky, shadows overflow Only the wind's voice is calling me Bottled-up feelings, I can't let go Walking today, on this ride of tears A voice inside my heart, screaming in vain Lost in the silence, it echoes my pain But I can't stop, my pulse won't lie Chasing the light, through the darkened sky It's okay to cry before the night breaks Throw everything out, this ride of tears Pierce through the darkness, keep running Hold the light of hope deep in your chest Memories of pain, shadows of doubt Whispering softly, trying to pull me down Yet every heartbeat pushes me forward Through the storm, I won't turn around The fear inside is screaming still But I feel the strength to climb this hill I won't look back, the past fades away Guided by hope, into a brighter day It's okay to cry before the night breaks Throw everything out, this ride of tears Pierce through the darkness, keep running Hold the light of hope deep in your chest All the pain, all the doubt, let it go Melt into the wind, let the freedom show Unlock the key inside your heart Embrace the tears and the smiles, a brand new start It's okay to cry before the night breaks Throw everything out, this ride of tears Pierce through the darkness, keep running Hold the light of hope deep in your chest Endless ride, it won't ever stop
