1. THE CIRCLE NEVER ENDS

Time strikes back again. this circle never ends.
In those cycles your affection dies
What is there left to lose?

Breathe in - take this pause
Observe the mental cause of sanity’s paralysis.
Emotions chose to lie!

You hesitate to free yourself.
The weight of the world keeps you down.
You’re so afraid to let it go.
And now time strikes back again.
While this circle never ends.
The ashes around convince you to burn

Stuck here? that’s what you think! safe here?
Stagnation wins! stay here?
Why would you choose the bare remains of suffering?

Salvation’s calling! just take its hand and rise.
See new lights and start to chase new heights.

Abort and stop the futile fire!
Deplete the rush and stay in line.
Breathe into me. desires sincere.
Resurrected from the fallen. I‘m seeing clear.
Medicate the broken. with hopes of the forgotten.
Revive!

Keep still! tolerate the deadening
Keep still! leave me where I am!

Believe us – deceivers.
There is more than just stalemate.
More visions craving life
Believe us – deceivers.
There is more than just stalemate.
Believe and find.

Abort and stop the futile fire!
Deplete the rush and stay in line.


2. DEEPER INTO TIME

Cold light like oceans washing out the way
Surrounded by waves that wrap me in decay
A sun so warm is hidden in the sand
Of an hourglass with grains of delay

Slowly breathe the loss of moments
When I'm down dried out - dried out

I sink deeper into time
Seamlessly devoured
I'm sinking deeper into time
Dried out - dried out

Like a mist of dust I disappear with the wind
Once supposed to ...
... Slowly breathe the loss of moments
When I'm dried out - dried out

I sink deeper into time
Dreamlessly devoured
(I'm sinking deeper into time)
Feel weaker deep inside
Lost track of what I could have been
I'm sinking deeper into time

It's who I am and how I was
That is not what I'm supposed to be
I can't escape from this spiral to the end
It's a force so strong

The hourglass I feared I now became
Counting down the lives to waste
And while I watch the grains still to fall
I see the sun I missed and
Smash the glass that owned
The audacity to mislead my way
The oceans always meant to carry me


3. COUNTING STARS

As my thoughts collapsed with your world it could have killed us well
Words – like slivers – turned into my brain and I fell
While I tried to stop the ashes of our mourning
Life’s slipping through my cold and yet anemic fingers

Roads we oughta know - forgotten and unseen
To places we will never reach and those where we have been

A million miles away, a million miles apart
As echoes from the nether void we tried to see the stars

Roads we oughta know - forgotten and unseen
Who broke the stairway to our dream?
Now there’s this ever changing scheme
Beneath our feet that makes us fall

The pillars of the hope we bore
Are rotten deep down to the core
Foreshadows to regret it all

We’re counting stars to keep us awake
If we could only reach their lights
To blind our fate - counting stars to sort our minds
But then we lost control as the world went blind

After all there’s not much left of
All these precious things went wrong as we left the path
But we could never turn around
We have done things we won’t forget behind our facades

They could be found, they could be locked
It cuts my thought, it knocks me off
Your shining eyes that turn to grey - I fade away …

We tried to lock ourselves down in an oubliette made of our own …

Fragments of the future shattering the past
Bonds we could not nurture - how long will they last?
How long? how long will they last?

And still we’re counting stars we pray and
Plead we feast on their lights to forget this life is a disease


4. DEAD WORLD

Sometimes I see a face in the mirror.
Cold eyes are watching me, my soul starts to shiver.
No fear, no mercy, no sign of emotion.
Just like a mask this face shows no motion

This dead world is pushing me down.
All I see is hate it‘s making me frown.
Bad faith, distrust, social exclusion.
Religious wars and racial collusion

It hasn‘t always been this way.
In my heart the world will stay.
But my mind is not the same.
I‘m afraid the world.
I knew will start to fade away

Wake up and you‘ll see something is wrong.
It‘s where we go to.
And not where we‘re from.
Who will live, Who will die
This world is crumbling, you can‘t deny

This dead world is near to the end
Faith has spoken, no way to prevent
Hear my words my message of fear
The seal is broken, vengeance is near

It hasn‘t always been this way
In my heart the world will stay.
But my mind is not the same.
I have lost my innocence.
I‘m afraid the world.
I knew will start to fade away.
It starts to fade away

Can you see it burning?
This dead world is shining bright.
Reveals its blazing beauty
Got cured of mankind


5. HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO?

Have you ever wondered what your life would be
If something happened that no one could foresee?

All the little things you loved are different now
Nuances shifted over –it’s a different feeling somehow
And all that’s left for you is to embrace this lonely state?
But there is one thing to do to change your fate

Now I feel betrayed by the feeling deep inside
How long must I wait before I lose this fight?
What has been and what will be - who is here to blame?
I am blind, too blind to see I can’t take this pain!

Trying to fulfill your dreams - would you ever take a life?
Even if you had the means - break the rules just to survive!
Would you take it all the way - past the point of no return?!
How far would you go?

“Take your time it’s no crime you’ll be fine,”
They have said to me - yes it was a lie

“What you feel is not real it will heal,”
They have said to me - just another lie!

“Take your time it’s no crime you’ll be fine,”
They have said to me - all these lies …

“What you feel is not real it will heal,” they have said to me

Trying to fulfill your dreams would you ever take a life?
Even if you had the means break the rules just to survive!
Would you take it all the way past the point of no return?!
How far, how far would you go?

Trying to fulfill your dreams I won’t hesitate a while
How far would you go? although I know what it means
I will go the final mile – past the point of no return
How far, how far would you go for me?


6. HOME

Sometimes I feel lost in cramped circles of repetition
Gathered among routine and conformity we dwell in rust
In this uncertainty I'm lost
Defined to be undefined - while I'm locked...

...I am undone. am I the only one
To see the light beyond the paths we did not choose

Home - is where I'm homeless
The entire world is left to conquer
Home - is where I'm headed
The feeling of being free is what I need

Breaking out is what I've tried a thousand times
But just beneath my heart are chains to keep me...

...The undone. am I the only one
To see the light beyond the paths we did not choose

To be alive and to sustain in all the pleasures and pain
For my thoughts I tend to fall a deep
Awoke from dismal dreams

Am I awake? no! am I awake? no!
Am I awake? am I too late?

Home - is where I'm homeless
The entire world is left to conquer
Home - is where I'm headed
The feeling of being free is what I need

I'm reaching for somewhere else to call my
Home is where I'm headed
I'm leaving to find my home away from home


7. BEHIND YOUR MASK

You keep feeding their desires.
With a blatant twist in mind.
Only reaching for the helpless.
A shepherd leading just the blind

So you know I used to follow.
Not anymore! I‘ve seen through you and carried on.
(You) make them believe no other sun will shine again
But yours that is painted with false-faced dedication

Free from the shame. I‘m better off without your light.
I can‘t believe it took so long
We live to shine. We‘re better off without your light.
Your barren ways lead us no more

You said your offer won‘t come twice.
That I should leave it all behind.
A glimpse of doubt can make you nervous.
Who would have thought?

I paved your way and felt regrets.
Turned around and set an end.
Don‘t be so shocked. this blinded sheep has seen a light

No make-believe can block the sun forevermore.
Behind your mask I found the weakest of them all
I gave it all – all that you claimed while
Giving up what I deserve.
Surviving is not living in your realm

Now feel the sting of disappointment.
Find another one to blame.
For the reasons to your downfall.
For your loss within your game


8. FEED THEIR MINDS

Lives attached to mine
Won't be able to foresee
Tomorrow is just yesterdays relief
Bless today for the comfort of not knowing
Where you will be... if I'll be gone
But tonight...

I've set this soul to sleep
I've set this soul to weep
Another demon commands
I've forced this soul to keep off

They never care - they waste their time
They never care - their souls are mine
They can't repel - this is the time
For what I feed their minds

I love you ignorant views at all that gets hold of us
Absorb

I've come to drown beliefs - may faith be gone
In callous hearts I hide. out of reach

Feel the sorrow coming. calling through the silence

Feel sorry inside for all that pretend and grieve
For the lost that live in past mistakes in their shell

Four walls and no door to escape
You just wait and hide for time to stop and turn back

Values are crumbling to be filth in your eyes
You'll never see horizons behind this disguise

All blind. and lost. no more. focus


9. A DYING HEART

Make your cross, carry the cross! but never cross the line
Move along ’cause the deed is done - now everything is fine
Step aside, turn off the light. there’s nothing behind the curtain
What you saw is your own flaw. yes, we are almost certain

It’s a little hard to digest with a knife inside your chest
Sometimes a wound cannot heal on its own

Answer now to me! we have come to one conclusion:
Trying not to see - tables turn
Answer now to me! we will start a revolution
Here’s the place to be - time to burn!

Do confess your own excess! try to shield your senses
Now wake up and never stop to lower your defenses
Step aside into the light. who’s hiding behind the curtain?
What you saw is against the law - so how can you be certain?
Be certain!

It’s a little hard for your vote with a knife against your throat
Some of those scars will break up on their own

Mind ignoring splices - pain exploring devices
Behind the lid: the lying grid entices me
Soul detesting vision - fear infesting precision
Within the chart: the dying heart exhibition

Will you, will you answer this to me?!
Trying not to see - answer now to me!
We will start a revolution
Here’s the place to be - time to burn!


10. AGE OF PARANOIA

Alone and restrained inside your mind.
So tired of voices that tell you what‘s right
The windows show broken worlds to you
Stay inside and feel safe.

But you know there are other ways.
Take the chances and find the better days

Driven to search for more.
Beyond the door are reasons to long for.
You‘re not the first one to run a red light.
And not the last one to win the last fight

You run to find a cure to this madness
Demise won‘t keep control. so don‘t let it
Somewhere ahead lies the freedom you need to feel

Breathe out – breathe in. you‘re running down a lonely road.
Always searching for the sunlight. refuse to fear.
The age of paranoia and contempt

The world was blackening. this is your reckoning.
Now the horizon shines bright before your eyes.

You leave the past to be. a silent memory.
Now the horizon shines bright before your eyes.

Still feel the shadow‘s grip on your neck.
Don‘t dare to slow down.

Freedom‘s near! just breathe it in!

Afraid of the voices behind you.
You found assuring peace in hope.
See for yourself – don‘t blink now.
And realize what you‘ve become
