THE NEW ALBUM

Distant Past

Extraordinary Indication of unnatural perception (2005)


1. UNKNOWN EXCEPTION

The lies you told a real to me, although there's not many who see
I cannot move, I will not change, it might be time to rearrange

Why do I obey, even me, I got something to say
My innermost goes out to you, and you just look that's all you do

Fantastic theories in my head
Might be something that I just read
Another reason, another way to prove you wrong

Break my heart, fool my mind, but I won't let go my right
Promises and Hopes are gone, with my belief I stand alone

I can look behind what is real
It's no reflection disturbing me
Why restricted, why avoid the imminent

Dancing devils on my porch
Could be you threatening me
Another dependant, another one taken out

Just an unknown exception in time

Vocals : Reto Guggisberg
Guitar & Solo: Alain Curty
Drums: Kaspar Zwirner
Bass: Adriano Troiano


2. TIDE OF THE CENTURY

I don't know where I am going
But I see that it's really there

In my mind the dream goes on
As if it never disappeared

Are you sure that you can't take it
Are you able to understand

You eyes are glancing at the stars
Are you prepared for what appears

Oh, Oh, too many of them to mentioned
Oh, Oh, it might be too late for the final strike

Oh, Oh, lead us to glorification
Oh, Oh, you can't stop it, will you deny

Rise above the ground
Defending your faith
Live up to expectation
t's never too late
To meet your destiny – It's the tide of the century

Is it still all in the circles
Or just a scratch on the surface

While time renews itself
We all still stay the same

Oh, Oh, too many of them to mentioned
Oh, Oh, it might be too late for the final strike

Oh, Oh, lead us to glorification
Oh, Oh, you can't stop it, will you deny

Rise above now (come near)
Defending our faith (don't fear)
Into expectation it's never too late
To meet your destiny – It's the tide of the century
To end the game for me
prohibited it shall be

3. NEVER RETURN A FAVOUR

My model of behaviour, learned in youth never leaves
And on behalf of my mistakes, I betray and look away

They will do just anything, to keep you headways down
You feel there's nothing more to it, your dreams are made of foam

And if you wanna prosper, so do return the favour
‘Cause all the movements ignored, block you way to freedom

The wheel of karma spinning low, you to change the frequency
So the magic and the purpose, return to set us free

But what about you ? What about you?

Standing in their boots, what about you, my friend
Born on the other side, what about you, in the end

What about you ? What about you?

You're lost and now you're sold, what about you, my friend
Take one chance before you're old, what about you, in the end

There's just one reason, not to play along
When you're chosen, wouldn't you be
In favour of it all….

Vocals: Reto Guggisberg
Guitar: Alain Curty

4. LIMITED LIBERTY

Burning ambitions, natural cause for alarm
Human injustice, a matter of side effects
Triangle the square to show power
Make ‘em bleed, make ‘em pay, no more respect

Consequences ignored, it's our own fault
Ego-oriented, no signs in the sky
You know you've been hearing only lies
Defend your freedom or it'll be lost

In this limited liberty
I adapt to circumstance
They tell me that I'm free
Without options, not a chance

In this limited liberty
There is not a chance for me

Vocals: Reto Guggisberg
Guitar: Alain Curty
Guitarsolo: Michael Vaucher
Drums: Kaspar Zwirner
Bass: Adriano Troiano


5. MAYBE

I, saw the blackest dusts of time
Been through space and back again
But I'm not prepared for the insane

Hey, you never realized
That a sting can hurt your flesh
But devotion breaks your heart in two

Soul-keeper…reconquering my state
Sole-Reason…to live in peaceful times

Maybe..oh..Maybe
I will not submit
I will not pretend
I say Maybe..oh…Maybe
I'm not strong enough
Can I live on (without you)

Hey, prepare to give birth
To a new breed of a new dimension
Again taking the world before the storm

Yeah, there are always different roles
And the losers better learn
At least give it a try

Soul-keeper…reconquering my state
Sole-Reason…to live in peaceful times

Maybe..oh..Maybe
I will not submit
I will not pretend
I say Maybe..oh…Maybe
I'm not strong enough
Can I live on (without you)

7. CRYSTALLINE TERROR

When a light-stream touches you
And glory fills your heart
Feel invincible, no limit
Stone to flesh, house to temple

I still resist

Ships are entering my harbour
But space I've got none
See the world transparent unveiling
It all escapes my sight

I will fulfil – my destiny, my destiny, is it my destiny, my destiny

Dark Suns bring the holy martyr
Seen in spirits mind
Where I can grow to wonder
What if you were … what if you were mine

What if you were mine
To the end of all time

Crystalline Terror unfolding measures
Now I can't trust no more
If what I eat is poison for me
And what I hear is lies…Bastards

Dark Suns bring the holy martyr
Seen in spirits mind
Where I can grow to wonder
What if you were … what if you were mine

What if you were mine
To the end of all time

Vocals: Reto Guggisberg
Guitar: Alain Curty
Guitarsolo: Christof Schafer
Drums: Kaspar Zwirner
Bass: Adriano Troiano

10. WHISPER IN THE WIND

I want to give it
I want to keep it
Time's running out
So better hurry up and breathe

There's no time here
There's no need to
My bloom poisoned
So I'l grow to be something to remember
Someting to live forverer

Want to give you more than I need
When it's about more the eye meets
You can't resist your incompleteness
and seem to be much wiser than
a Whisper in the wind
Roaring back from hell

And I spin
Through the hours
I'm weakened
by the hammer
obliged to fall

And I swing
With emotions
Neutralized
The longing lonely
dreamed it was real
