1. LOST

Omnipresent phrase in mind
Spoken words said one million times
I close my eyes and I turn around
To leave it all behind

Lost somewhere between earth and sky
Who are you to say I'll be this way
Lost because I want to be lost
Don't try to find me

You could say I lost my belief in faith
You could say I've never been at a better place
Could be lost inside my life
Waiting for the end of time

The break of day, filled with emptiness
Like frozen in time, disaffected with life
Restless craving, never sleeping

Reflections of past fantasies
Eaten up by my loneliness
A created world full of punishment
That's all what's left of me

Grounded and caught in the space of time
Disappeared without a trace
Lost because I want to be lost
Don't try to save me

You could say I try to cheat through my life
You could say I've never been clever and wise
Words I've said for all these years
Things I've done one million times

The break of day, filled with emptiness
Like frozen in time, disaffected with life
Restless craving, never sleeping


2. GUILT

He never cared what the prophets said, anytime...
He gathers rain for his guilt and pain, falling down...
To clean himself, to wash his soul...
Escape from himself...
Mistakes, made over and over again...
Clearing his guilt...

His forehead branded by their holy sign
Day by day he's living in this line
He's begging the master on his knees...

(priest:)
"One word, one sign and everything's forgiven.
Now, say you prayers and everything's alright.
Don't shift your blame on another backdoor.
Sell your soul and soon you will be absolved."

He tries to repent for his sins as he was told
His only hope arriving at the other side

In the name of belief
In the name of belief
They wash their hands of it
Obessed and blind

Unable and bowed running out of time
Too mortified to reveal this evil crime
Tortured in guilt, what's right what's wrong

(priest:)
"Your fate, your soul, everything is fleeting.
I tell the truth in favor of the saints.
They came to teach discerning good and evil.
Now it's mine to pronounce the rights for all."

Unsolved questions remaining like a wall
Empty words are leading to the final fall

In the end he will receive eternal life...
There's nothing more to care...
Escape into another phase...
The end: escape from himself...


3. NUMB

How far can I go in this cage I've to stay
The voice in my head says I don't have to care
Tries to convince me I don't have to change
Far from my reach is the life I'll never attain

All disappears as I scream at the wind
Facing the truth, now my fate has been sealed
The pain is increasing still I can't break free
Blinding light searing my eyes, I can't look away

When I was alive
Something inside had told me
When I was revived
Sombody around approved me

How long is it since all these thoughts crossed my mind
I see all these pictures with unopen eyes

How long am I breathing in this endless shape
Feeling the silence which rules in my head
Getting demented my mind will not die
Inside my head there's no faith, I've run out of time

When I was alive
Something inside had told me
When I was revived
Sombody around approved me
When I'm crucified
Something inside had shown me

I just awoke, the sun is cloaked
Now I'm everything I hate
I can't feel only one notion
Face to face with the truth

In this flash, blood is flowing
I can't live in death or life
I can't see with my eyes open
I feel better when I'm numb


4. LEAVE

I've told you this once before you're gone
Don't try to take me down
You're having nothing that is worth to hold onto

You're always hiding behind your smile
Do you think I can't see your face?
I'm not blind, I still see what's all around

Please, I never thought in a million years...
Can't hear myself speak or breathe...
I try hard if I can push you further
Further as you did to me

So where were you when I felt this would end
Stop tryin' to talk me down
And where were you when our dream was broken down
Leave me here I'm leaving...

All these feelings running through my mind
What would you do if I was you?
I'm longing for one minute to be free

I repent the lies as you pushed me down
Do you still think that I'm to blame?
Too many times the stories been replayed

Please, I never thought in a million years...
Can't hear myself speak or breathe...
I try hard if I can push you further
and try to believe in myself...

And all my life and all the scars, what I am all about
On and on, what I hold inside and I waste more time than anyone
And all my life and all the scars, what I am all about
On and on, what do I hold inside?

Please, I never thought in a million years...
Can't hear myself speak or breathe...
Try not to loose reality
Am I awake or asleep?


5. DEATH

Searching around / Searching for truth
Embracing unkind / Nothing can hide

Open your eyes / Won't undertake
Wasted from years / There's no fake

Diseasing the eyes / Reduced to be blind
Crushing the cross / Make all gods die

I've seen the end and there's no light
You close the door and that's where it ends
There's no light. Make all gods die...

Drown in misery / Serving the time
Loosing the faith / Suffering in crime

Priests are deceiving / Blood on their hands
Book filled with lies / Taking thy pride

Down comes the rain / Whipping down hard
Rest in peace / Wash away the stains

I've seen the end and there's no light
You close the door and that's where it ends
There's no light. Make all gods die…

Straying around / Praying and begging
Cursed be thy name / Ready to carry their blame

Open your eyes / Breaking through chaines
Celebrating the fall / Knowing that this is the end

In the drowning of procedure
In this world of rotting minds
Awaking from a dream
What we also call our life
Drifting into a new dimension
With blaze in my sight
I see you...


6. CHANGE

Every now I'm running out
Come on, we'll leave this place
Tonight before all what we've built will turn to dust

I am used to change and then
I will change again
Turning like the wheels which work inside my head

I'm going life or death
Keep hanging by a thread
I'm going life or death
What's on my mind?

Come on down, now we will leave this town forever
Get on with life, pray we will find a better one

Every now I'm drifting out
I keep on sinking down
and all this lying which is locked inside my head

I am used to change and then
I will change again
Turning like the wheels that spin around themselves

I'm going life or death
Keep hanging by a thread
I'm going life or death
What's on my mind?

Come on down, now we will leave this town forever
Get on with life, pray we will find a better one


7. SEEK

Some say the simple things in life are the best
Some say the future is unwritten, seek and you will find...
Some say the belief in god will save your life
Some say they're feeling better when the sun is rising high

All designed for my ultimate downfall
What drives a man in his darkest throes?
And I reach out and see my life unfold
One day I'll find you...

Let's shoot the moon!
In control I'm not in control
Left all behind me
All that's good I have given up

Let's shoot the moon!
In control I'm not in control
There's no escape here
Played too much and I want to stop

Some say they're longing for a throne, reaching for the stars
They aspire to be almighty, they laugh at your despair

All designed for my ultimate downfall
What drives a man in his darkest throes?
And I reach out and see my life unfold
One day I'll find you...

Let's shoot the moon!
In control I'm not in control
Left all behind me
All that's good I have given up

Let's shoot the moon!
In control I'm not in control
There's no escape of here
Played too much and I want to stop


8. RISK

Do you like to say the words you hide?
And do you like to trade up for a ride?
Do you trust the thoughts inside your head?
And are you scared to loose what you arranged?

What have I done ever and anon
Stopped running the risk to fail once more
All that I need is a new world better than ours

With each passing day the moment has come
The waiting is over and life must go on
I check my breath for cold and hold on...

Do you think you differed right from wrong?
And are you satisfied with all you've done?
Are you pleased with everything the way it is?
Are you scared of looking back at all?

You couldn't read the silence
And I couldn't play my part
If you never go ahead you'll keep on looking back
You don't move, and I'm still and silent.

Don't you like to move ahead and run?
And aren't you sad to see what we have done?
Was it worth the price we paid all these lies?
Are you proud of all these bitter tears?

What have I done ever and anon
Stop running the risk to fail once more
All that I need is a new world better than ours

Reached for a star and shut down anew
Too tired of starting all over again
Everything's better than this world we've throwed away

With each passing day the moment has come
The waiting is over and life must go on
I check my breath for cold and hold on...
