Lyrics

Exposed with hands as empty, as the opposite space
Crawlingly we move to where the final station lies
To whom is the debt that we are forced to pay
Real faces dare to appear only, when we turn away
Truth reveals itself ... - reveal yourself !
A face ordained to serve the hypocrites
We know the masks, the artificial smiles ... -
Mind's black eyes should break the lies
Distorted pictures are all trans/parent to us
Phantasmagoria, such a useful weapon;
Ineffectual against us ... -
Enemies with the knowledge of truth
Truth makes me sick ... - what a wretched play

Paralysed by flesh and bone ... -
Condemned to vegetate
Condemned to stay alone
Helplessly we are escaping, we're clinging to ... -
Stranded at the shores ... oh, beloved infamous side
Our distress in perfection, trials and tribulations ... -
Preferring our pain, we'll stay and die
