[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1: Jens Kidman]

Unbound to the pale and lifeless day

By the multi-coloured, multiform

A spinning anti-dream unthought

Exceeding the obsolete reality

Overheated inner shape-generator

Blowing every cerebral fuse

Insanity filtered and systematized

Feeding the tools of mind abuse


[Chorus: Jens Kidman]

Mind-signal transmission peaked, distorted, bent

Unrestrained neuro-receivers short-circuit

System parameters over-gained

Nervethreads decoding the stream of the reality-inverting revolution

The patterned untruth of non-dream: The closed eye visual delusion


[Verse 2: Jens Kidman]

A frantic cellular race down the switchbacks of mind

Throttling the existence-engine

A propulsion beyond all limit lines

Convulsive thrusts of septic energy as infected cells collide

Unleashing the video-bacterial disease, the sinew-conducted pseudo-vision


[Chorus: Jens Kidman]

Mind-signal transmission peaked, distorted, bent

Unrestrained neuro-receivers short-circuit

System parameters over-gained

Nervethreads decoding the stream of the reality-inverting revolution

The patterned untruth of non-dream: The closed eye visual delusion


[Verse 3: Jens Kidman]

Self unfolds like a disintegrating dream

All revealed but the sinister cause

My lying eyes come apart at the seams

Still how could I ever regret the loss


[Bridge: Tomas Haake (Spoken)]

The self transformed into wave lengths

Reverberating this unyielding dream

Lost in this greedy illusion

I'm forever devoured by the closed eye visual delusion


[Guitar Solo]


[Instrumental Interlude]


[Verse 4: Jens Kidman]

A twirling visual overload

Explosions of terror and beauty

Colours of fear and pain within clash into unanything


[Outro]
