Lyrics


1. LOST IN DARKNESS

Dying or living
We're all so deceiving
Our hate consumes us
Forever, we're fighting ourselves

It's time to stop
To become humane at last
It's time to rise
To forgive all their crimes and open our minds

Pain and suffering
Is that what our gods want?
We're lost in darkness
But all of us have one last match

It's time to stop
To become humane at last
It's time to rise
To forgive all their crimes and open our minds

It's time to stop
To become humane at last
It's time to rise
To forgive all their crimes and open our minds


2. FALLEN SKIES

The skies are falling, and we burned the ashes
Of those who forgot what dignity was
With red eclipse, our tears will turn to gashes on enemies' souls
Straight for the cause of war

War War War
The cause of war
War War War War
At last

Abide!
The screams will bleed into our fate and collide
Immortal blood fills the sky
The gates are down, our minds are blind
Don't hide!
We are all fallen, and we fight against the light
Hell's creatures storm the heavens
With angels side by side

The universe is cold enough from bloodshed
For them in their name for love and regret
We rise to fall, we end the games with sunset; our last sleepless night
Before we abet the dead

Dead Dead Dead
Abet the dead
Dead Dead Dead Dead
Tonight

Abide!
The screams will bleed into our fate and collide
Immortal blood fills the sky
The gates are down, our minds are blind
Don't hide!
We are all fallen, and we fight against the light
Hell's creatures storm the heavens
With angels side by side

Fearless fight will last forever
Walking on edges
Timeless death inside me crying
Asking if heaven is lost in hell

Abide!
The screams will bleed into our fate and collide
Immortal blood fills the sky
The gates are down, our minds are blind
Don't hide!
We are all fallen, and we fight against the light
Hell's creatures storm the heavens
With angels side by side
Side by side


3. DANCE WITH THE DEVIL

I've whispered all my words tonight
And now we go fading away

My words have gone from sanity
To something now that's blinding the devil inside
You waste yourself
Wishing every single moment was a fucking disguise
You can't save me
From sinking below
Sinking below
Stop wasting precious time
Dancing with the devil

But I signed this deal with my own blood
There is no going back now
There's no going back

The darkness it calls my name
I want to leave but he wants me to stay
To stay
I'm shackled he calls this a game
I've always lost but not this day

The life I live runs short of time
Oh my God, I'm losing my senses of pride
And all that's left
Is this motherfucking vessel that is seeking demise
I won't fear death
From taking my life
Taking my life
I'm left here one last time
Dancing with the devil

But I signed this deal with my own blood
There is no going back now
There's no going back

The darkness it calls my name
I want to leave but he wants me to stay
To stay
I'm shackled he calls this a game
I've always lost but not this day

The darkness it calls my name
I want to leave but he wants me to stay
To stay
I'm shackled he calls this a game
I've always lost but not this day

Dance!
Dance!
Dance!


4. EPHEMERAL

Is this how it ends? Eternal white lies
A light unto dust blown away like ashes
Only in the darkness, do I feel complete
Only here do I feel me
Shunned by those who don't understand
The lives all led by willful blindness; and now

I refuse to live this way

When the night falls my soul screams
Am I the only one who loves darkness?
I would always chase my crazy dreams
But no one sees the beauty in madness

Stranger to restraint a cause of lost will
Your sympathies have left this world
All that I asked for was some degree
Of caring and empathy; and now

You refuse to live this way

When the night falls my soul screams
Am I the only one who loves darkness?
I would always chase my crazy dreams
But no one sees the beauty in madness

My heart is heavy with the burdens of all others
Taking on their sins I carry from this world
Ephemeral regrets upon this world

My heart is heavy with the burdens of all others
Sanity exists just outside of my far reach

When the night falls my soul screams
Am I the only one who loves darkness?
I would always chase my crazy dreams
But no one sees the beauty in madness

When the night falls my soul screams
Am I the only one who loves darkness?
I would always chase my crazy dreams
But no one sees the beauty in madness


5. BURN DOWN THE SUN

You hold back yourself with the fetters of modesty
Hoping to rise in pathetic eyes
But piercing yourself with the arrow of honesty
Will break up your chains of disguise

Tomorrow is a new day

Maybe we were never meant to see the black skies
Burn down the sun let the darkness thrive
Tear away all your pain, open your eyes, rise up from the ashes
Let your dreams take you far away

You think that you're bound by the webs of morality
Searching to gather your memories within
But don't be imprisoned by ties of mortality
Don't fear the temptation to sin

Tomorrow is a new life

Maybe we were never meant to see the black skies
Burn down the sun let the darkness thrive
Tear away all your pain, open your eyes, rise up from the ashes
Let your dreams take you far away

Your body is numb
Your heart is beating less and less
You're trying to stay calm
Yet your soul is screaming in distress
You feel despair as hot blood races through your veins
Your life's affair has turned to dust that still remains
Your fear is helpless
Stop seeking salvation
Be free as the wind
Let your mind fall into oblivion
Look at the sun and hold your breath
For you won't feel alive in death

Maybe we were never meant to be
Meant to be
Burn down the sun let the darkness thrive
Let the darkness thrive
Tear away all your pain, open your eyes
Open your eyes
Rise up from the ashes and let me take you away


6. TOGETHER WE FALL

So many days have passed since then
A memory of what was
What have they done to us?
Where have our spirits gone?

But something changed within your self

All of ourselves we've left and lost
To those who could not tell
Take me with you on this path
Where no one else has gone

Fragments of who I used to be
You keep them still with you
Give yourself unto me
I only ask for truth

But something changed within your self

All of ourselves we've left and lost
To those who could not tell
Take me with you on this path
Where no one else has gone

Why do we let them take life from us?
Rise up again and together we will fall

All of ourselves we've left and lost
To those who could not tell
Who could not tell
Take me with you on this path
Where no one else has gone


7. ALL FOR NOTHING

Longing for true love
But nobody seems to see through me
But how I grow so fragile
My hands are bleeding and arms so weak
But there will be time for my aching heart to
Feel no remorse and live hoping to get through
But would it have been more painful to dream?
When cry of my youth has died in its sleep

But that is not what I meant at all

A chance to give, a chance to take
Is it all for nothing?
A chase that never ends
A race I cannot win

I have succumbed from beauty
I have forever locked it in my grave
The fate is destined to drown us
To take away our peace and turn it to pain
Should I presume?
I spent my whole life hiding for me to make it fit
I choose to waive
My thoughts surround the truth that I'm her slave

But that is not what I want at all

A chance to give, a chance to take
Is it all for nothing?
A chase that never ends
A race I cannot win

Shall we act young and dive deep down to feel unknown oblivion until our souls awaken and we drown?

A chance to give, a chance to take
Was it done for nothing at all?
A chase that never ends
A race I cannot win


8. SICKNESS WITHOUT SENCE

My mind is burning, slowly sinking away
All of these thoughts inside my head are breaking from the shallow grave

What is this agony? My life is a mess
I cannot think about it one more day with all those monsters
All I hear are footsteps coming
This is it; just set me free

Drag me out and leave me for dead
At least the blood wasn't on my hands

Where has my peace gone? A distant memory
Crying out in vain in a nothing that was
A sickness without sense; illness of the mind
Is this the curse of humankind?

I've always tried to scream but silence destroys
And it's too late to save my life so I'll just keep on drowning
Rest your head and raise your hands up
On your knees, just pray for me

Drag me out and leave me for dead
At least the blood wasn't on my hands

Where has my peace gone? A distant memory
Crying out in vain in a nothing that was
A sickness without sense; illness of the mind
Is this the curse of humankind?

How have we gotten here and how do we find our way out?
A life that cease to be for me and now I'm out there, here's my plea

The lives you lead are all the same
No discourse direction, a semblance of pain
And now, I'm full of empty rooms
Wasting away and hiding from your truth

The end of reality engulfs my suffering
Where the consequences lead to a tragic and painful death
A disease whose creator was darkness herself
An illness for which there is no remedy or relief
It's pointless to prey, the gods won't hear me over the voices sounding in my head
They cause my memories and days to become the remains of sunken ships
Which are lost in the depths of great despair
Insanity is like a moth that descends upon my shoulder
It slowly turns into a black raven wrapping its wings around me
With every passing day it becomes more difficult to hold its weight
At one point this heavy burden prevents me from breathing
It makes everything around me colourless
And turns me into a ghost who submits to demented thoughts of existence
And In the end, it will finally sink its fangs into me
Draining my mortal blood so I may bleed no more
Bringing a depressive madness
An illness of the mind
Or the sickness without sense

Where has my peace gone? A distant memory,
Crying out in vain in a nothing that was
A sickness without sense; illness of the mind
Is this the curse of humankind?
