1. THE END

And as I heard them speak
I knew this was the end…


2. A RAINY DAY IN HELL

Gone, everything is gone now
Heaven cries for the perished land
So it has been written and now it is done

Post bellum
Via Dolorosa
I am the Last man standing

Forever failure when the path we walked was lost
Forever silence, now the music has stopped

Post bellum
Via Dolorosa
I am the Last man standing on a rainy day in hell


3. IN THE ASHES

A year has past since everything went black.
I’ve confronted my demons now there’s no turning back
I stood alone and scared among the ruins of man.
Now the time has come for me to make a stand.

I cannot hide no more I have to go
I cannot hide no more I have to go
I cannot hide no more I have to go
I cannot hide no more I have to go

In the ashes I’ve lost everything
In storms of fire I’ve danced with the dead

In the ashes of a lost yesterday
I am crawling, but I am on my way

My greatest fear of all, that I should be alone.
Me, myself and I, the one who did survive.
I’m leaving the valley of the shadows of death.
Nothing could be worth outside. I have no regrets.

I cannot hide no more I have to go
I cannot hide no more I have to go
I cannot hide no more I have to go
I cannot hide no more I have to go

In the ashes I’ve lost everything
In storms of fire I’ve danced with the dead

In the ashes of a lost yesterday
I am crawling, but I am on my way


4. THE WANDERER

Arise from the depth of hell
There is no light in the end of my tunnel

From the ashes into the land of sorrow
A nation beyond with no tomorrow

Memories of my past give me no peace of mind

I am the wanderer through nevermore land
A trail of tears in the blackened sand

I am the wanderer in no mans land
A seeker of life among the ruins of man

Along through the fields of death
A journey of the damned, an echo from the dead

Across the wounded land, my quest for paradise
Just a foolish hopeless dream I leave the dead behind

Memories of my past Give me no peace of mind

I am the wanderer through nevermore land
A trail of tears in the blackened sand

I am the wanderer in no mans land
A seeker of life among the ruins of man

Save me from this hell or am I already dead
Save me…


5. NEW EDEN CITY

Beyond the red horizon, lies the Promised Land
Finally I see the lights, the city of my dreams

Of my dreams…

This could be paradise
Heaven built my man
Blood, sweat, concrete and steel
All baptized in gasoline

Civilization
So wicked, so beautiful
New Eden City
My chance to be reborn

At the gates to sanctuary, my nightmare will end here
I will be a citizen, in the city of my dreams

Of my dreams…

This could be paradise
Heaven built my man
Blood, sweat, concrete and steel
All baptized in gasoline

Civilization
So wicked, so beautiful
New Eden City
It’s my city
And my chance to be reborn


6. THE COUNCIL

As the gates closed behind me
They told me to stand and wait
The council will decide my fate

What do you know about the Others?
The enemies outside these walls
The deceivers, traitors with no souls?

I can’t tell you anything,
I’m just a wanderer all alone
My journey has been long
Long so long I walked this earth,
It feels like finally coming home

The Others must be stopped
They are creatures of the night
Killing everything in sight

They had seven deadly spies
We have caught all but one
The last deceiver must also die

I can’t tell you anything,
I’m just a wanderer all alone
My journey has been long
Long so long I walked this earth,
It feels like finally coming home

As the gates closed behind me
The council will decide my fate


7. SOULMATES

My journey has been so long, endless misery in a world of pain
Never thought I would smile again, when an angel suddenly appeared

Why do you look so sad? Come and sit here with me, release your agony
Sarah is my name, my heartache is just the same, so let it all out

You are the one my angel
My Soulmate
Forever more
Always with you

You are the one my angel
My Soulmate
Forever more

I love the way he smiles at me
She is so beautiful, a dream, a fantasy
I can’t believe that this is happening to me
Oh Sarah, from now on it’s just you and me

We’re bounded by faith in a world of bitter hate
For love it’s never too late

Together we are strong together we’ll go on
Lovers forever hand in hand

You are the one my angel
My Sou lmate
Forever more
Always with you

You are the one my angel
My Soulmate
Forever more


8. LAST DECEIVER

I woke up at midnight. She is gone. I’m all alone
Now she has gone to The Others and I know what I must do
Crying in silence for the blood I am about to spill
No one can save me as I prepare to kill

Lying. Denying. No more conspiring
Eternal Decision. What if it isn’t her?

Why did she lie? I can’t deny, now she must die
How can I go on? Being strong, when she is gone?

She is the last deceiver, the last deceiver.
How could I ever believe her? I was a blind believer

Minutes seems like days as I await the final stand
My mission is crystal clear. She must die by my hand
Endless sorrow as I walk down memory lane
Sarah sweet Sarah. Farwell my love. Farwell

Lying. Denying. No more conspiring
Eternal Decision. What if it isn’t her?

Why did she lie? I can’t deny, now she must die
How can I go on? Being strong, when she is gone?

She is the last deceiver. I was a blind believer
The last deceiver. How could I ever believe her?


9. CONFESSIONS

Lies, time to face your life of lies, you can’t hide any more.
Time, is running out for you, like sand running through your hands.

I am your judge and jury now, your trial ends here with me.
Death is the penalty for your crimes, so tell me why?

Please, please forgive me and hear me now
They’ve captured my daughter, my beautiful child
Please forgive me and hear me love
Without her I can’t live another day

Last, you are the last deceiver; the council wants your head.
Dead. I’m the Angel of death tonight: this dawn should have been your last.

I love you more than life it self. I cannot harm you love.
We must convince the council now, so tell me how?

Please, please forgive me and let them know
I did it all for my beautiful child
Please forgive me and tell them so
I had no choice; they would’ve taken her life

Raging hate fills my head!
Nova could have been dead!
No war is coming instead!

Please, please forgive me and help me now
The others will kill her, for my beautiful child
Please forgive me and help me love
We must find her before it is too late


10. WAR OF THE WASTELANDS

Time has come for war, blood, pain and death
No looking back, just head for the attach

Now the Others will pay with their lives
Show no mercy, it’s them or us tonight

Blood red skies and desert sand
Here and now we’ll take our stand

War of the wastelands
Fighting for freedom, our city of dreams will prevail
War of the wastelands
Dying for freedom, our city of dreams must prevail
We will not fail…

I see the Others marching side by side
We march against them not afraid to die

Screams of pain and rage the battle has begun
The blood will wet the ground for those who hasn’t won

Blood red skies and desert sand
Here and now we’ll take our stand

War of the wastelands
Fighting for freedom, our city of dreams will prevail
War of the wastelands
Dying for freedom, our city of dreams must prevail
We will not fail…


11. AFTERMATH

Dead bodies everywhere. Vultures fill the air
It’s all coming back to me now

I can’t escape my past. Death always laughing last
All I wanted was some peace

I took a look around me. New Eden City is no more
Crawling in ashes once again

I fear for my loved ones
Please let them be safe
I can’t stand another lost

I must find them now. I must find them now

Angels are crying. Lost souls everywhere
Angels are crying. Mother earth drowned in blood
Angels are crying. A battlefield of tears
Angels are crying. The aftermath is here

By noon the smoke has cleared. But they wasn’t there
Nova or her little child

Later in the moon light. I found them both lying there
So pale and beautiful in peace

My love you died from me. Please this can not be
This pain is more than I can stand

I kiss your cold silence lips. And beg you to come back
But it’s time to say goodbye

I will bury my own. I will bury them all

Angels are crying. Lost souls everywhere
Angels are crying. Mother earth drowned in blood
Angels are crying. A battlefield of tears
Angels are crying. The aftermath is here
The aftermath is here


12. POINT ZERO

My love has turned to death. All light has fade away
A life of loneliness. Point Zero ones again

Nothing good remains. No future or no past
One man and his pain. Point Zero ones again

Can someone hear me scream? I am losing my sanity

I am so lonely. I am so lonely.

A handful of dust marks humanity
A handful of dust is my legacy

My love has turned to death. All light has fade away
A life of loneliness. Point Zero ones again

Nothing good remains. No future or no past
One man and his pain. Point Zero ones again

Last man standing the king of dirt
Walking slowly across a world of hurt

I am so lonely. I am so lonely.

A handful of dust marks humanity
A handful of dust is my legacy

My love has turned to death. All light has fade away
A life of loneliness. Point Zero ones again

Nothing good remains. There is no future or no past
All love is lost and gone. Point Zero here I come


13. SOULMATES [radio edit]

My journey has been so long, endless misery in a world of pain
Never thought I would smile again, when an angel suddenly appeared

Why do you look so sad? Come and sit here with me, release your agony
Sarah is my name, my heartache is just the same, so let it all out

You are the one my angel
My Soulmate
Forever more
Always with you

You are the one my angel
My Soulmate
Forever more

I love the way he smiles at me
She is so beautiful, a dream, a fantasy
I can’t believe that this is happening to me
Oh Sarah, from now on it’s just you and me

We’re bounded by faith in a world of bitter hate
For love it’s never too late

Together we are strong together we’ll go on
Lovers forever hand in hand

You are the one my angel
My Sou lmate
Forever more
Always with you

You are the one my angel
My Soulmate
Forever more
