Abduction

Music: C.Westholm/D.Burke
Lyrics: C.Westholm, B.Eriksson, D.Burke

People disappear, people are observed.
People make up stories and some hallucinate.
People reappear, some with amnesia, others with spectacular stories.
In the same second but from two different worlds, Keith and Jane disappear.

>>> HALLUCINATION:

Revolving - absorption - the voices of distortion
Relay with distant cries with truth and fiction hide
Illusion - obsession - recounts the revelation
Sequential disorder - delusion, ever forward

The trails across the northern sky of deepest grey
And slowly as I'm mesmerized, regressive state
Assumptions that were made now fade away
Taken to somewhere, I have never been

Everywhere - always everywhere
Hear a silent scream made real by what is seen

>>> THE ABDUCTOR:

This is nothing like abduction, more disintegrated existence
Their feeble minds conjuring understandable explanations

All their guilt working as a collective, fabrication time lost in non-existence
Space/time continuum complete domination, the truth is much, much worse

Paralyzed Paralyzed into submission,
Paralyzed into a void of dehumanisation
Paralyzed Paralyzed waiting for their incisions,
Paralyzed waiting for their probes

>>> HALLUCINATION:

Faces in a crowded space, I hesitate
Like something from inside a dream that's here to stay

Everywhere - always everywhere
Hear a silent scream made real by what is seen

>>> THE ABDUCTED:

Totally exposed on a bare metal surface, room without walls, room without air
Incomprehensible light, droning sounds, no one listening, no one looking

Can not breathe, can not think, can not see, like a bad dream but no one's asleep
Bright light of pain soaring through my nerves, and bright white nothing floating through my veins

>>> HALLUCINATION:

Reflection - detection - reports of mass rejection
The sceptic leads the cry, maintained by his desire
Sequential disorder - delusion, ever forward

Paralyzed Paralyzed into submission,
Paralyzed into a void of dehumanisation
Paralyzed Paralyzed waiting for their incisions,
Paralyzed waiting for their probes
