Initiation: ShowHide
Big news! We would like to announce the initiation of a new member! Please welcome Aimee Carpenter; she'll be the band's official female vocalist and lyricist. We're also in the process of adding an official guitarist to our roster. Our sights are currently set on Alex Farhadi, a friend of Tino's.

In other news, Tino wants us to drive a tour bus into a studio housing a pop band at Sony Music Entertainment, and wants us to charge out wearing gas masks and wielding hammers, where we will proceed to beat the hell out of anything and everything. His motives involve a deceased pet bird.

Archetype: ShowHide

"Just months before the fall of mankind, a group of secret organizations were pooling their resources to create the tool of their salvation. The only information retrieved about this project was it's name, 'Project Archetype'."

Scientists and engineers from 'Cognition Industries' spend years creating a prototype super-machine capable of destroying entire cities in minutes. It would be the dawn of a new weapon, the introduction of a new kind of security, the uprising of fear incarnate. This cybernetic super-soldier would ensure that all of 'Cognition Industries' greedy desires be fulfilled, would ensure that their organization control everything. At the press of a button, the 'Archetype' would shift the balance of power forever. An indestructible killing force, this was their goal, and that is exactly what was handed to them. Upon activation, the 'Archetype' malfunctions, and shuts down using one of its scripted fail-safe measures. A repair crew approaches 'Archetype', and begins immediate repairs. It is unknown whether the machine simply glitched, or a repairman secretly reprogrammed it, but as the 'Archetype was activated once more, it looked around and thoroughly examined its surroundings as if it were confused. The operators attempt to give a command to the machine, by telling it to walk forward. The 'Archetype' simply turned its head towards the man barking the order, and stood still. After a few moments of silence, the machine began flexing almost uncontrollably, the sounds of its gears could be heard swiftly spinning under the hardened metal exoskeleton. The pitch of the gears changed suddenly, and it could clearly be heard throughout the room as the gears 'uttered' the words 'Walk forward'.

In fear, the commanding officer in the room ordered a hidden sniper squad perched on the rafters in the ceiling to 'open fire on the malfunctioning equipment'.Before the first shot was fired, the 'Archetype had already anticipated the attack and was curling into an upright fetal position. The firing squad emptied their weapons on the machine, the room dimmed due to ricocheted bullets colliding with light sources, but it was unphased. Before the squad had a chance to reload, 'Archetype' rolled forward, sprinted towards the officer who gave the order to shoot, and with a single swing sent him forty feet into the air and into one of the rafters, tearing the man in two and showering half the firing squad in blood. As the squad began firing again, the machine extended its left arm and shot a red beam of light into the ground ten feet away. A blinding light ensued the sound of an explosion. The 'Archetype' readjusted its optics, and with its enhanced processors watched the bunker disintegrate around it. Witnessing its destructive power firsthand brought many questions to the 'Archetype', mainly the purpose of it's construction. The 'Archetype quickly came to the conclusion that it was the product of evil, and that something must stop this evil from spreading. As the bunker fell to ruins around it, the 'Archetype' 'shrieked' with its gears and ran from the irradiated inferno, a single process repeating in its CPU; 'DESTROY_THE_EVIL_MINDS' ...


Song Lyrics:

Archetype: ShowHide

[5-13]
(Take a stand...)
(Gun in hand...)
(Lucid demand...)
(Blood in the sand...)

[13-21] X2
(Take a stand...) Safety in numbers, now a contradiction
(Gun in hand...) Birthing fear was your heinous mission.
(Lucid demand...) Safety in numbers, now a contradiction
(Blood in the sand...) Now ready your mind and wait in line...

[21-29]
Firsthand introduction to your ravenous machine...
Firsthand introduction to your murderous fiend...
Sharing glances with a metallic shell...
Staring into the face of YOUR CREATION!!! ... HELL!!!

[29-37] X2
Hell is upon you, can't you see with your own eyes!
blinded by your greed, smiling at these innocent cries!
Bow to the reaper, bow to your self-inflicted fate!
Archetype of chaos, Archetype of hate!

[53-61] X2
Safety in numbers, now a contradiction
Birthing fear was your heinous mission.
Safety in numbers, now a contradiction
Now ready your mind and wait in line...

[61-65]
(Take a stand!) Safety in numbers, now a contradiction
(Gun in hand!) Birthing fear was your heinous mission.
(Lucid demand!) Safety in numbers, now a contradiction
(Blood in the sand!) Now ready your mind AND WAIT IN LINE!!!

[65-69]
SIT BACK, MOTHERFUCKER! ENJOY THE SILENCE! PREPARE FOR THE ORCHESTRA OF SORROOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!

[69-85] X4
Hell is upon you, can't you see with your own eyes!
blinded by your greed, smiling at these innocent cries!
Bow to the reaper, bow to your self-inflicted fate!
Archetype of chaos, Archetype of hate!

[93-109] X4
A permanent mistake!
regretting it's own existance!

[109-117]
(WHY, GOD! WHY, GOD! WHY, GOD! WHY, GOD!) A PERMANENT MISTAKE!!!
(WHY, GOD! WHY, GOD! WHY, GOD! WHY, GOD!) REGRETTING IT'S OWN EXISTANCE!!!

[117-125]
lost in the nightmare of a dream come true.
where sky is red and your blood is blue.
Icy fingers creeping up your spine,
and you realise...

(You're out of time...)

Welcome, all, to the age of dread!
Take a bow, so they can cut off your head!
The mistakes of a few will determine your state,
and you realise...

IT'S TOO LAAAAAAAAAAATE!!! (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!)

[125-END]
Hell is upon you, can't you see with your own eyes!
blinded by your greed, smiling at these innocent cries!
Bow to the reaper, bow to your self-inflicted fate!
Archetype of chaos, Archetype of hate!

Injection: ShowHide

don't fear this haunted palace
you're safe here, we don't wanna hurt you
don't be afraid while you're in this place
do not ever be afraid

(chorus)
stand by and we will give your injection
this poison will spread though you like a virus
don't be surprized if it feels like infection
a new destiny has come upon us

pass me the scissors
pass me the knife
pass me the scalpel
experiment on life
changing the world
as far as we know
we're cutting you open
and scarring your soul (chorus)

(screams in the background)
come back, children
come back, i say
you need your medication
ahhahahaha

(chorus)

(outtro verse)
we're losing him..
we need the E K G machine!!..
clear!! nothing!!..
we need to do it again!!..
and double the voltage!!..
clear!!.. still nothing!!..
....he's gone..

(last syllable echoes and fades away)

Ow, ow, (4x)
(Somebody... anybody resurrect this god-forsaken place, rebuild what has been destroyed, again give birth to the broken remnants of humanity, and take this pain away. Someone... anywhere needs to give us a reason to move on, a reason to stay on this scarred and blood-stained earth and hold on to our shattered souls,) <somebody, anybody, somebody, anybody, help us, help us!>
Someone take the pain away, bloody little motherfucker,
Someone give light to this day, fucking little gold digger,
Someone, help this, world in, turmoil,
Someone, give our, world back, leave our toys,
Look at the mess you have created, bloody little motherfuckers,
And look what your greed has done, because of you it's the apocalypse,
We must, rise up, to re, conquer this,
We must, man up, accept the guilt, of what this world's become,

(chorus)
You're in the zone, you're in the zone,

Give us a reason, give us a chance,
To sit back and zone out, to the world's trance,
The world's dance, has gotten the better of us now,
Give us the chance, to sit back and zone out,

(Siehst du die welt in der wir nun leben? Siehst du wie sie in die hände der korrupten gefallen ist? Kannst du nicht sehen wie all die schwierigkeiten useres lebens das feuer in unseren Augen wieder entfachen?
Was müssen wir tun um diese welt wieder sicher zu machen und die feuer des krieges zu löschen? Und was wird es kosten, diesen heiligen boden wieder bewohnbar zu machen?
Verstehst du, die antwort liegt in uns allen, in unserem herzen und verstand, in dem, was von unseren zerstörten seelen übrig ist.
und diese antwort werden wir niemals finden, niemandem wird sie einfallen, nie wird sie umgesetzt, wenn wir uns entscheiden, uns alleine durchzuschlagen.)

Someone lift us off the earth, you little son of a bitch,
Someone take us to the place, where all the angels lie,
Someone, help these, souls in, turmoil,
Someone, give our, broken, souls to God,
Do not give up this cold fight, even on these dark days,
Do not surrender the light, to the demons' cold gaze,
We must, rise up, we can, take this back,
We must, rise up, accept the gift, of what God's given us,

(All we need to is to believe in a better tomorrow)
