Front Line Assembly - Implode Album Lyrics

---

Retribution

A fading signal of distress
Counting the wounded
No time to rest
A final prayer
This ship's going down
Faces lie forward
Hands are all bound

Hope and glory
Unreachable now
Nervous glances
Collide somehow
Plasma fluid
Quiets the thirst
A dead calm rises
Who will be first

[Chorus]

Burned with gas
The mask goes on
Subversive warfare
No right from wrong
Stepping forward
Into the unknown
Stepping forward
Restricted zone
Frozen water
Reflecting the light
Setting the enemy
In our sights

[Repeat chorus]

 

---

Fatalist

[Chorus]
City of mutants
Darker than night
Evil illusion
Guided by light
The friends you thought
They never were
Egos and icons
They just don't care
You hope to die quiet
Laying in bed
It's better than pointing
A gun to your head

[Chorus x2]

All cold and forgotten
You only feel pain
This quest for hope
Is a losing gain
Another dream crumbles
In front of your eyes
Your paranoid vision
Only sees spies

[Chorus]

Prophecy

Delusioned prayers fill the air
A hopeful soul is hard to see
Human cruelty frozen in time
A world so hard to feed

[Chorus:]
Nothing seems to matter
The rain begins to fall
Nothing to believe in
Even angels learn to fall

A trantic march into the sea
Being hunted to extinction
This human bond of frail mortality
A tarnished ground of true conviction
A teardrop falls behind closed walls
There's so much more of life to see
The closing of the door
The mind and so much more
A broken moment to believe

[Chorus x2]

Torment and anger
Runs through my veins
Leaving me cold inside
Surrender your feeling
Unfolding is the veil
Turning love to despair
This anger
A silent rage
This anger
A silent rate

Synthetic Forms

Falling

Hidding in the corner
Looking at the world

[Chorus:]
Divinity of right
Start to loose sight
Hold on to yourself
What do you see
As you start to fall
Makes no sound at all
Falling to the ground
Oh so free

Looking through a window
Gasping for some air
Spirits wander freely
Tied down to a chair
Shadows of confusion
Makes sinners of us all

[Chorus]

The water swells below you
Reflecting times you cared
Remaining in the distance
The good times that we shared

[Chorus x2]

Don't Trust Anyone

Don't trust anyone
Don't trust anyone
Don't trust anyone
Don't trust anyone
Don't trust anyone

Unknown Dreams

Nothing breaks
Winning is for those
Who take

[Chorus:]
Forever
Whenever
Tomorrow may never
Come
Forever
Whenever

Isn't life fun
Swimming in a world of creeps
A silhouette of the - Future looms
Distant dreams
Forbidden wounds
Creepy sound
In an eerie room
Burnt out light with elusive moons

[Chorus]

Now I lay my head
To sleep
Pray the Lord for
Me to keep
Distorted vision
Cloud my eyes
Even sleep can't
Hide the lies

[Chorus]

Torched

'Cause nothing will ever be the same
You burned it down
To the ground

[Chorus:]
But nothing has remained
The cause and effect
hat you reject
It all burns just thesame

Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire

[Chorus]

Lurking shadows
Become dissolved
Pyro fixation
Burns them all
Singeing hair
Smells like you care
Be glad that
You're not there
You strike a match
Close the hatch
You're totally insane
Another burn
Starts the yearn
Feelings always the same
You like it hot
And watch it rot
You love to play
The game

[Chorus]

Smoke is deep
Life is cheap
Smoke is deep
Life is cheap

Machine Slave

Only to see it's just a burn

[Pre-chorus 1:]
Spike the bass [x2]
In your face
Smell the dust [x2]
Grind the rust

[Pre-chorus 2:]
Mega dope
Mega beat

[Chorus:]
Mega dope
Mega beat
Mega fake
Mega cheap
Mega slave
Mega brave
Mega fine
Mega slime

Winding down that tarnished road
Truthful stories never told
The price they pay
The seconds of fame
This game we play
The ultimate way

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Pre-chorus 2]
[Chorus]

Broken promises
Fashionable hope
This big illusion
One big joke
Plastic people living the dream
Sell their soul to make the scene

Silent Ceremony
