"OUTSIDE IN"

PLEASE STEAL MY EYES
HYPNOTIZE ME
I WONDER WHY
YOU´RE BEING TAKEN

COULD YOU SUCK MYS EYES AWAY
I´M NOT ALLOWED TO PRAY AGAIN
THERE´S A LOT OF SINS I´M CARRYING ON
I CURSE YOUR GOD FOR TAKING HER
COULD YOU TAKE MY EYES AWAY
IT´S BEING HARD TO FACE THESE DAYS
I JUST HAVE GOT TO GO ON
I´D RATHER BE BLIND THAN TO CARRY ON

SON I´M HERE
LOOK AT ME
I TRUST YOU TO TAKE CARE OF ME
THERE´S A LOT OF THINGS WE CAN´T FORESEE

I CURSE YOUR GOD
HE´S WATCHING US AND LAUGHING LOUD
I DON´T TRUST YOUR LIES
HE PLAYS WITH ALL MANKIND

HER CONSTANT PAIN IS MINE
CANNOT STAND HER CRIES
I JUST WON´T PRAY NO MORE
I´M NOT STRONG ENOUGH
REFUSE MYSELF BEGGING
AND EXPECT YOUR CLEMENCY
I´M NOT A PUPPET TO SERVIVE BEING CONTROLLED
BY THE WILL OF SOME RANDOM LAW THAT FALLS ON EVERYONE OF US

I CURSE YOUR GOD
HE´S WATCHING US AND LAUGHING LOUD
DON´T TRUST HIS LIES
HE PLAYS WITH ALL MANKIND

"The Endless Agony"
by AnachroniA

s I fall asleep, Appears my biggest fear : I am coming near the unseen frontier between my inner me And my reality. The beginning of a shape, A familiar landscape : I am in a forest Made of darkness, Where resounds a voice Calling me again :

Never fear your mind !
Escape human kind !

This nightmare is so real ! These things that I feel… I just cannot wake up from this world of lies. I have to get the way, it's stronger than me. « I'll give you Salvation ! », the Voice is telling me.

Never fear your mind !
Escape human kind !

The Voice:
Come my dear,
Don't be afraid,
Forget your fear, and your pain !
Dry your tears,
Hold in your hate,
The end is near. I'm your fate !
Don't despair
And take my hand.
Every dream is a nightmare without end !
Wandering,
You won't survive.
Alone with your melancholy, you will die !

Now, my soul is trapped. I won't wake up, never ! These demons in my head say now I'm one of them. And, as gradually I just begin to die, the tears are coming out From my lifeless body !

Never fear your mind !
Escape human kind !

It's a desperate fight
Between two minds, two wills.

Entwined in a huge vortex of grief,
Will he come of Lunacy ?
Entombed in his own silence, and drif-
Ting on the waves of a rough sea.

My chains are shattered
But I'm still sorrowful. (Open your eyes...)
Screams echo in my head,
I'll never be the same ! (Watch at, you're blind...)
Loneliness is my friend
Until the end, my death. (Open your mind...)
Will I find the key
Of my insanity ? (Insanity...)

This Lyrics one's song "Scissorlips" that taked from the new album "Feathergun"

Scissorlips

Where are you?
I'm lost upon this boulevard
and I'm afraid this plastic mask made room enough for all of us

now Scissorlips has come to grips while chewing paper fingertips
that boulevards made boulevards of boulevards in endless strips
sing your lullaby
sing, sing, sing

I want hear it from your lips-what's it worth shining for?
nevermind your thirst, nevermind the curses you utter vacantly
I can hear them scream from below, I still hear them screaming below
all we are is all we are, transcendental animals

where are you?
I'm high above this boulevard
I left behind this passive mask to prove to us it's not enough

now Scissorlips throws Scissorfits 'til bleeding's what the kissing gets
to fork the tongues of old and young, forever speaking opposites

...trying to dig up the love-you call this love?

for the love of loss, we find
for the love of joy, we cry
for the love growth, we sever
for the love of now, we never
for the love of peace, we kill
for the love of wealth, we steal
for the love of difference, confine
for the love of unity, divide
for the love of love, we hate

who wouldn't want to disappear?
but I'm still here, I am still here
having come out the other side wearing horrors that climb from our soul
and I am still here, I am still here
falling facedown into the light, wholly naked I cling to these roots
and I am still here, I am still here

Wings Of Dove

My thoughts trouble me and I'm distraught at the voice of the enemy,
At the stares of the wicked for they bring down suffering upon me
And revile me in their anger.

Confuse the wicked oh Lord confound their speech
For I see violence and strife in the city
Threats and lies never leave it's streets.

Oh, that I had the wings of a dove
I would fly away and be at rest.
Oh, that I had the wings of a dove
I would fly away and be at rest.

My heart is in anguish within me
The terrors of death assail me
Fear and trembling have beset me
Horror has overwhelmed me
And revile me in their anger

Confuse the wicked oh Lord confound their speech
For I see violence and strife in the city
threats and lies never leave it's streets.

Oh, that I had the wings of a dove
I would fly away and be at rest
Oh, that I had the wings of a dove
I would fly away and be at rest.

~Mastermind - Insomnia~

Mastermind biography
MASTERMIND is brothers Berends, Bill and Rich. Rich is a drummer who subscribes to the Carl Palmer school of drumming. Music, lyrics, guitar, bass and faux-keyboards (actually a guitar-controlled MIDI setup) were handled masterfully by brother Bill, while Rich pounded out complex drumming and sang. Even though the music is guitar based you can hear influences from ELP. They play a melodic ELP - styled energetic and bombastic progressive rock. The music, a heavy metal, jazz fusion, and progressive hybrid, propels you at a breakneck speed from the opening notes to the final chord.

Line-up / Musicians
- Bill Berends / guitars, synthesizer, bass, vocals
