I Am I 04:51
Like vampire from movie I live in dark eternal night Surrounded by humans I try to keep them all in sight Don't you see that I'm coming You'd better start running Like never before One wrong step and you're madman One more and you're deadman It's my little war I am your most terrifying foe Cause you can't control you anymore I am I, you are me I am you, and we are we But the question is: who rules over who? You are me, and I am you And still we can't get it through Which one rules over who: saint or sinner? Shepherd or the sheep? Living in the darkness of Your mind's insanity Making my way out of here Want to become free I wish I could, but I can't I wish I would, but I would not I know this day will not come and... Listen, what's that?!
2.
Far from the teenage Still want to be unique But there are no options at all And since we are born They try determinate What is your place and your goal But I'll do my best just not to fall Don't wanna be someone's mindless doll Keep things in the places they should be Don't even try to stop me Rise up and leave all your doubts behind Tear down the screenplay they're trying to write Most precious treasure is your own soul But they have templates for us all (For us all) Find yourself a job Not the one you really like (Job you don't like) Find yourself a person Not the one you really love (Person you don't love) It's not the way we all must follow And fight your horrors Listen to me No more templates for us all What is your place and your goal?

Wasted 05:16
My time is wasted I became nothing And after all I still ignore The voice of reason in my head I know I could've reached for the sun So high, if only I had tried that before Coming to the point of no return From where there is no other way Then to let myself regret And not to forget Of what I become! I'm a spineless worm Left without home Just a useless piece Of meat Now, please, take your seat And relax a bit Jester's on a stage Hey, it's me! Can we really get what we all deserve? Should you be a slave or should you be served? I don't know You do Time to make up your mind Time to leave all doubts behind No! I am your sloth, and I've heard enough Listen to me! You just need your TV, and your cozy seat No need to rush - hush... You just need your TV, just need your TV, just need your TV My time is wasted I am still nothing Can you imagine how to live without fantasies and dreams? I know I could've reached for the sun But I'm a spineless worm Left without home Coming to the point of Point of no return Point of no return From where there is no other way Then to let myself regret And not to forget By those... Who did not win the stake!

Mass Media 05:16
My time hasn't come It has just begun I don't wanna bow That's all what I know Wish I can find you And stab from behind you But there’s just one thing You are mass media Mindless and thus merciless You are mass media I'm to save us from this mess They want us to obey Want us to be paying for Wanna more Stop! I said that's enough! Hear the bell rings for you Make it through Before it's too late Corn flakes are good For your Blood circulation system Yes, of course, you're right But I don't trust in lies Give me back My mind Go find another one I told you I don't I don't trust in lies (Save your soul) Millions of people're bounded to their leather couches And they can do nothing by their own will Roots of mass media monster Carved deep into their souls And the only chance to become free again To release the chains Is to... Pain is in your eyes You need to be strong Raise your spirit high You need to be strong No more TV-set And no more fast-food No more wicked lies Keep your body fit It's all for your good Buy yourself a suit It's all for your good Listen to the crowd And shout it back "I'm not in your pack!"

Fugitive 03:55
Please, cast away my sorrow and pain Let me inside, I'm going insane Black seems so white and white turns to black Remnants of past are right behind my back Down the river of repentance I follow alone Arrogance led me on to this path That is what they would say God, you tell me why, oh, why Saving a child is a crime Are we all blind? Are we blind or not? I killed a man who had tried To murder my only child Now we have to run and hide Two fugitives we are Blood on my hands Won't ever be washed away Damned for all time Is it right? Is it right? It's not! It's not! It's not! No! No! Tracked us at last, now our hope is gone Captured us both and there's nowhere to run Just like a beast is stalking his prey Left me with nothing, I can only pray
6.
I'm lost in the city Of the broken hopes Misery, agony, all around Misery, agony, all around Life is gonna stop Cause we've used all our pre-paid time And the earth won't take no more There's no "us" - there's just "mine" And I doubt these things are worth fighting for Now, the earth is on trial, you see It's not like we all are used to live In the darkness of our lunatic minds Grows a feeling that it's the end of the line Now, thy shall be done! Take a tumble and it won't be fall Change yourself and you will save your soul Now, thy shall be done! Rearrangements have begun Light of hope is almost gone Fools! Your time is over! No salvation for the sinners! Prepare yourself for eternal pain! And I know that you can not see me But at least try to believe me Together we can do it better And save the Earth
7.
I was thrown away Like a useless old broken toy As you can see, we're all getting off To the trash bin or even worse Surrender to your fate and forgive You loved them more than life but they forgot How you protected them From the nightmares they got When they were young Afraid of the darkness And the monsters Hiding under their bed You showed them the way and now its so sad They abandoned you when everything is already done No place for the old men! I needed you so but you've turned away And at this very time my life casts astray Pain slips down through my veins And my blood now is not that warm In our age when authority reigns Old people can’t stay in for long When everything is already done...

Reflections 03:52

Access denied... Racks of equipment have crowded the place (No way) What's going on? Connection is set All packets are sent I'm on my own No time to waste All systems engaged I'm on my own What if our lives are encrypted in code? Tested... And then being sold! I lost my mind... Access denied! Paradise blackened the gates Access denied! Pray till you die for your sins Access denied! Merciless virus destroys all what we love I don't wanna to find this world Shattered into smallest pieces I wanna to help to save it From the danger and from anger If we do not release our minds And understand the problems all in one Then we shall face the judgement And redeemer will not show up No, no... Faster than bullets They are gonna get you The story's at end And now I am lost inside the paradise of the sin Gathering's begun Judgement will be done Lost and tied We are waiting Access denied... Access denied... Access granted.

Thanks:

HAMMERFORCE would like to thank:
Sergey Fomichov (for beautiful artwork and support), Kate Sergeeva (for support, ideas and contribution), Anton Shostakovskiy (our former bass player), Ilya Lemur, Andrey Shpitalnik, Viktor Minkin, Artem and other vocalists that we tried to collaborate with, Nikolay Fomichev (for some ideas), Aleksandr Orlov (for posing for artwork), and everybody who somehow helped us during creation of this album (sorry if we forgot somebody)

Special thanks for their notable support to: Andrey Zvonarev (from Beorn - promising new Power Metal band!), Steven Weeks, Eddie Risdal (and his band Legacy Of Emptiness - check it out!), Bas Van Den Berg, Hendrik Mießner and Nataly "Ziry" Menitskaya \m/

Nikita personally thanks: Kate Sergeeva (for love, understanding and support), Ilya Kapralov (for being the good guy to deal with), my parents and brothers (for their patience and support), Allen Carr, Mikhail Litvak and Gleb Arkhangelsky (for their excellent ideas and books), Kjell-Ivar Aarli (from Legacy Of Emptiness for kind words, and info), all great Metal (and not so Metal) bands that inspired me, among them: Raintime, Kovenant, 2 Times Terror, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Twilightning, Lost Horizon, MyGrain, Labyrinth, Athena, Masterplan, In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, DJ BoBo, Masterboy (please forgive me last two, hehe)
Live your own life, and no more templates for us all!

Ilya Kapralov's thanx to:
Nikita Merzlyakov - for his great contribution in our music, for his laborious work on music through the whole album. Really great work!
Kate Sergeeva - for efforts on texts and support of our band! Awesome!
Alexandr Zhuchihin - for his implicit help in composing, during rehearsals. Sometimes it’s very necessary to have a person, who can test what is composed already, play with you and make an advise to change riff or note, even a little, but this may be very cool finally!
Of course, great thanx to other members of our group – Dmitriy “Ian Breeg” Yanovsky and Ilya Mamaev.

Dmitriy: I would like to thank my family and my beloved one Darya for keeping the faith in me during the whole process. I would also like to say thanks to my band-mates, who did incredible job on their own and of course we need to thank Nikita for getting it all together and making the record as good as it can be.

And last but not least: greatest thanks and loud hails go to all our fans!
