Flycatchers 03:52
You will never ask yourself about Empty things you did just to be in crowd Empty words you said with your empty voice Cause all you want in life - freedom from choice. Your mind is free from everything You are no use to anyone You do not even try to live You do not matter anymore Chorus: Take a deep breath, sit back, enjoy your ride You may catch flies or you may change your life Existence in this world is just a waste of time Forget about insects and start to clear your mind! Take a deep breath, sit back, enjoy your ride You may catch flies or you may change your life Existence in this world is just a waste of time… Clear your mind! Every day is just a copy of a copy Every move leads you to nothing – one more step… back. Around you so many flies – does it mean something? And this sick cruel world stands on your neck. Your mind is free from everything You are no use to anyone You do not even try to live You do not matter anymore Chorus. Bridge: Just another simple man Who leaves nothing to this world Just another captured fly Something wrong, oh, something wrong… [x2] Fuck! Eat! Drink! Die! [x7] Fuck! Take a deep breath, sit back, enjoy your ride! You may catch flies or you may change your life!

Chorus: Free yourself Show your mind And tell me something about me. Less than three That’s your love Now close your heart and hide the key. Bridge: Come on! You are pathetic! Oh, don’t you know? Come on! Don’t be ascetic! Come on, come on! 1) Yeah, everything had happened at night There was no wrong and no right Just waterfall of our thoughts And tension of one million watts. Two mouths are no longer one tongue But these days will not die unsung Because I was The man with the sweet spike inside. (All your words do not mean Anything to me at all. All your thoughts make me feel You will never break this wall) Chorus. Break. Could you stop dope out? Oh, could you just drop dead? Forget about this for a second Calm down and… Tell me the one thing – yes or no? (x2) If you want to make me hurt – don’t do it slow! Tell me the one thing – yes or no? (x3) If you want to make me hurt – don’t do it slow! Tell me the one thing - yes or no?.. 2) You see my eyes are burning With a half-dead inner fire? You see my lips are bleeding?.. At least I am not a liar! C’mon, don’t make me antsy And start to clear the memories If you’ve already started this – I want to face your madness! (All your words do not mean Anything to me at all. All your thoughts make me feel You will never break this wall) Chorus.

Every Falling Makes you Stronger. Essence Of world Is false You know. Come on My friend You should Try hard. listen you can Reach all Should fight. Close your eyes You will rise Feel your heart Inside... Come on, wake up You were lied Find a sign Take a place At world... Getting scars on the face! Your days Counted. We will Laugh at Staying A slave. Have no Escape. If you Don't run For life The one. Scary Darkness Will Make Flightless. Close your eyes You will rise Feel your heart Inside... Come on, wake up You were lied Find a sign Take a place At world... Getting scars on the face Won't Forgive Sins... There is no God Won't be knock out Should Escape This... Break your chains out Throw your beast shout! Throw your beast shout... Break your chains out. Let's close our eyes An we will rise We feel our hearts Inside... Come on, wake up! We were lied Let's find a sign And take a place At world... Getting scars on the face!

1) There is the star In the sky Want to see it And say goodbye I’m so sick And feel the poison inside. Pain can’t last So am I. Wanna see you In the light Of the moon... All of my last night. Chorus: Now I’m ready to die Forgive me for being So fuckin’ alive! 2) There is not so bright There is no pain Almost dead No time to say Even good bye To the star I wanna see Cannot speak Cannot move Can’t wiggle eyes To see your look Staring at me All of my last night Chorus. (x2)

The Emperor 03:20
Intro: Get away! Get out of the empire! You swore an oath To be a silent machine A selfless ghost! How dare you rise? How dare you open your eyes? Get out! Get off! And never come back! I’m the Emperor! You must obey. This is my will, so go Away! You disappointed me so much I thought that we had The same dreams, the same ideas! I will build the world! With or without you… Chorus: Do you want to feel the power of my Empire? You’ve always tried to change the rules But this time I’ll not let you fight… I'll crush you from the inside. I’m the Emperor! So take a bow. You lost this battle, now You know! That you would better stay a slave… You are a traitor! I’m the voice that makes the crowd hate you! I’m the hand that feeds! And who are you to try to fuck with me?! Chorus: Do you want to feel the power of my Empire? You’ve always tried to change the rules But this time I’ll not let you fight… I'll crush you from the inside. Bridge: So, you won. I’m outlaw. I am a thousand miles from home. But I believe – there comes a day When you should pay, when you will pray! Now I give up. Now I’m alone. But the defeat of one doesn’t stop the rebellion! Hail to the Emperor! Glory to the Empire!

Chorus: Don’t waste your time for hating You can go way too far Before you start this baiting Know – I don’t care anymore! While everybody's vying For someone’s minds and souls Know – for me you are Just the most minor of all roles. Verse 1: I must stay blind But anyway I see you. Good to be deaf But I can clearly hear. You give – I take Everything you brought to me. But I would give it just a quickly glance. Interlude: If words are like bullets You've got probably dummy ones I am open; let me give you an advice… Bridge 1: Don’t be So brash Because Extremes are dangerous But I know That you Don’t take it seriously and cross the line again. Verse 2: You think you are An obstacle in my way. In fact you are A directing sign. I walk away From your words without meaning. Goodbye! We have nothing to talk about. Interlude. Chorus. Bridge 2: One day I'll wake up with the thought inside my mouth It jumps on my tongue. I feel and realize That it swallows me before I can blink an eye Then I’ll lose my mind and it just eats me alive. Maybe my whole way is just stairway without steps? Maybe I get nothing except some scars on the face? Maybe I catch flies and do really nothing right? Maybe my future is as black as anthracite? But I – I don’t really want to live In this – In this world without a dream So I – I keep staying in my lane, I want you to know my name And I tell you once again That I – I don’t really want to live In this – In this world without a dream So I – I keep staying in my lane, I want you to know my name And I tell you once again… Chorus.
