1. THE LIGHT OF DAY SLOWLY FADES

Past memories
Moments kept deep inside
Decaying my soul
Marching on and on
Reluctanly
I walk into the shades
The light of day slowly fades away
Shadowed by a reminder of times lost
Desperately I embrace it to my heart
In the lair were courage feeds
Under my skin the hollow breeds


2. GAUNT SOUL

Unseen clouds refusing to part
On and off the beaten path
A king a leader of an army ready to obey
Still must climb the walls of despair each day
These wounds won't heal cracked open wide
Silent screams
Alive but rotten inside
A warrior trained to win the earthly fight
Still the battle inside is lost each night


3. EMPTINESS HAS MANY TEARS

Scarred savaged skin
Windless and silent
Still in the innermost a storm breaks loose again
I can just briefly recall that time of serenity
Is this the foreplay to eternity ?
My heart descends
With broken wings I walk away
Hiding, observing how all turns blue and grey
Ready to face the source of all pain all fears
Emptiness has many tears


4. TIME HEALS NO WOUNDS

(Instrumental)


5. THE MASK

Concealed behind thick walls they who took the fight
Attempting slavery
No one believed
To see the mask, nothing else exists
Turning a lie into obvious truth
Wood and flames, towns and populations
Worship the cane
The first ones, the excited ones
Moving across the lawn, searching
One path into the jar
That other sleep


6. THESE WALLS BLEED

Written in blood on these walls forgotten
Rotten wood but still present
The light as from angels cloaked eternally
Each day like each night
Wet of tears, breathing dust
An ocean of time
Just a thought away
I still hear her voice
Screaming
Steel against flesh
End of hope
Once again I hear her plead as these walls bleed


7. LORD OF DISILLUSIONS

Somewhere under the sky
Hopes alive for a while
Torn apart
Trampled into mud
A soft and merging wind flowing from the depths
We bless our torments
Kneeling, loving, dying
Empty words charming mortal ears
Broken spirits still graceful
Resistance is pointless
Always falling short of the one and only truth
Disarmed, left with nothing but our naked souls
Trusting, submitting, vanishing


8. VENOM OF LIES

It softens your heard at once
From behind, steel
The sound of trampling, ominous
Your mouth stays open
Victory, blindness
Black and white
Another warning
Defiance
The weak, the loathsome
The shepherd who sent his goat to the field
They who hate but want love
They who kill and seek forgiveness


9. UNSUNG

Heroism, dedication
Always to remain unknown
Shattered dreams
To pieces blown
Souls left crying
Alive a last time in a young girl's eye
The unsung have fought their last fight
Left as prey to the winds of the night
