1. THE FORCE

(Instrumental)


2. RETALIATE

A downward spiral pulls you down
And you avoid to interfere.
An endless maze with endless roads
But don't forget you're never alone.

Retaliate!
How does it feel to be alive?

Can't you see my friend
This is not the end.
Ways to live are always easy to pretend
Can't you see my friend
Tonight it doesn't end
Feed the spark of life, retaliate!

Darkened ways that lie ahead
They always seem to lead away.
Lead away from the light of truth.
No time to waste, no time to waste.

Retaliate!
How does it feel to be alive?

Can't you see my friend
This is not the end.
Ways to live are always easy to pretend
Can't you see my friend
Tonight it doesn't end
Feed the spark of life, retaliate!

Every day a different way is leading you into whatever you decide.
Tears of joy - tears of pain.
Every sense is just a proof of humanity.
Normality - insanity.
Thousand ways to choose and they're all in your hands.

Seek your way to retaliate
Seek your way to be free


3. LYCANTHROPE

Strive. striving on to madness.
This self-destructive path ahead
Seems to kill all life within
That nature once sow.

Something starts to grow inside,
A need to take control.
Something's building up inside,
I can not hide.

Hide!
A lunar wind shivers my spine.
Yellow eyes begin to shine.

Howls. the howling breaks the silence.
The ingrown seeds of ancient ways display
Its greedy face again,
It's time to feed.

New ways find to surface,
Obedient to the moon,
Need to feed the yellow eyes
Obsession inside

Hide!
A lunar wind shivers my spine.
Yellow eyes begin to shine.

Hide!
A lunar wind shivers my spine.
Yellow eyes begin to shine.


4. SELF-TERMINATE

Secrets buried deep inside
Always tries to come alive
When midnight comes
The mirror on the wall reflects
Something I was told was dead
Why are you here?

Don't let it grow, don't let its grip take hold...
I can not escape from here.
I've paid a lifetime.
I've served a lifetime in this hell

I'm trying to become alive, by killing you.
Self-terminate!
I'm hoping to restore my life, by killing you.
Self-terminate!

My mind is playing tricks on me
Or am I playing tricks with my mind?
Truth and fiction entwines.
Voices from a tortured world
Echoes in these hollow walls
When midnight comes

Don't let it grow, don't let its grip take hold...
I can not escape from here.
I've paid a lifetime.
I've served a lifetime in this hell.

I'm trying to become alive, by killing you.
Self-terminate!
I'm hoping to restore my life, by killing you.
Self-terminate!

Don't make me feel the thousand worlds in my head.
I always need to be one step ahead.
It's getting harder every day to conceal
What I really would like to feel

I'm trying to become alive, by killing you.
Self-terminate!
I'm hoping to restore my life, by killing you.
Self-terminate!


5. SOLITUDE, MY FRIEND

Hollow words repeats... in my head
Holl scenes projects... in my head
It's strange how seasons change when you're down.
(Just) different shades of grey all around.

It's strange how summer glows without glow.
Solitude - my friend, don't make me feel.
Hate is a word so meaningless right now
I've forgot how to live, please someone show me how.

Voice of reason chants within "just let it be"
All words of wisdom have been said - I can not hear.
A sombre state drops like a veil - becomes my fear.
Warmth of friends so meaningless - too numb to feel

Voice of reason chants within "just let it be"
All words of wisdom have been said - I can not hear.
A sombre state drops like a veil - becomes my fear.
Warmth of friends so meaningless - too numb to feel


6. AUTUMNAL

(Instrumental)


7. THE FORSAKEN

Always the same, you never seem to learn
All I can do is wait 'til you turn against...
Though signs of the young and wild in you when you ignite
I always hoped that we could see
beyond the craziness and just agree...

The sun sets behind as I leave this place,
I don't wanna to see it no more.

Don't be afraid to call my name
Don't be afraid, I've always stayed...

Always the same, you need someone to blame.
And always this game - who cares for the forsaken.
Selfworth to find, when you see clear again.
The bloodties don't change, I hope you see it so.
See clear again...

Always the same, you never seem to learn
All I can do is wait 'til you turn against... again.

Don't be afraid to call my name
Don't be afraid, I've always stayed... no!

Always the same, you need someone to blame.
And always this game - who cares for the forsaken.
Selfworth to find, when you see clear again.
The bloodties don't change, I hope you see it so.
Please see clear again...

Always the same, you need someone to blame.
And always this game - who cares for the forsaken.
Selfworth to find, when you see clear again.
The bloodties don't change, I hope you see it so.
Please see clear again...

The forsaken - in war with the world
Your enemy - you can never kill
The forsaken - you're killing your self
Your enemy - you can never kill


8. THOUSAND STORMS

You've sailed through thousand storms
But now it's time for you to breathe.
An uncertain course made sure you found me

Lay your arms around me,
I make sure you'll never drown.
Let the ghost of you drift on
Embrace new life

Great bliss and fire down in my soul
An invincible fire - born in me.

The pounding of the waves
Gave birth to your insightful eyes
A necessary act of faith, to make you arise

Lay your arms around me
I will keep you safe from harm
Let the ghost of you drift on
Embrace new life

Great bliss and fire down in my soul
An invincible fire - born in me.

Lay your arms around me
I will guide you through the storms
Let the ghost of us drift on
New life unfolds

Great bliss and fire down in my soul
An invincible fire - born in us.


9. PAINT IT BLACK (THE ROLLING STONES COVER)

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I wanna see it tainted, tainted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it tainted, tainted, tainted, tainted black
Yeah!


10. ...'TIL THE END

You thought you could play this game so well
...'Til the end
Fearless thoughts of conquering the world, impossible to last...
...'Til the end
You knew all the rules, you knew which ones to break
...'Til the end
Little did you care about those who held you close
...'Til the end

Can't feel the ground beneath me.
The songs of sorrow fills me.
Can't feel the world around me.
Too deep of wounds to heal.

Can't feel the ground beneath me.
The songs of sorrow fills me.
Can't feel the world around me.
Too late to heal the wounds.
