1. EXORDIUM

(Instrumental)


2. CRUMBLE

The grey clouds obliterate the light blue sky, they're approaching quickly
The sloppy and filthy streets are reflecting the human condition
Everywhere I look I can only see narrow alleyways
The bridges are burning
No chance to heal the wounds, no time-out from the selfish world
The cold environment is looking at me, in hope of getting answers
I close my eyes to stop the time, to forget all this misery
Where am I? Where's the place where the roses still grow?
I can't hear through these hazy words anymore
Is this the reality or just my perception?
Wait for a sign but you can't see me, through this blurred visibility
But I can see you, the fear in your face, the fluttering eyelid, you can't hide, you can't
I perceive there is a way out
There's might be a solution that cures the world
Can't you feel it? Can you really see it?
So shout out, convince me
Step up!
You're the gunman, I am just the bullet shot from your gun now


3. HERO

It is the darkest night, stars invisible
The only thing I can feel is your cold fear, your shivering hands, controlling gaze
Fearing the end, awaiting the consequences as long as you are walking this path
In fact you don't have to fear the fog my friends
And I see, you already know the other side, you know the way out
But the cruel end is etched in your thoughts
Your fantasy, only able to envision the worst
You dream of a hero, helping hand, brave guardian
When you wake up you wish to wake up again
Leaving this place is what you secretly hope for
But in reality you can't run away, in the end the past will catch you all up
It's not the case that you weren't responsible
Take a look at this world, drab and reeking
Look at the dull seas, almost dead inside
Look at the toxic sky, we and the sun, no longer friends
Now there's no more excuses for walking this path
No more chances for the fucking blind
All this is making you sad, all this is making you scared
The hero is close, he can save you
He's close to you, so close to you
Reach out your hand, open your eyes
What made you not change your mind for so long?
That's right, the hero is you


4. THE WRITER

It's your turn right now
Let me see your steps, let me feel your hesitation
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
We know the reproach to yourself
All your reflections as an open secret
All your mistakes as a success, your tears as the pitiful disport
Your decisions make us win, follow the guide we gave you
Don't look upward, there's nothing above you, your eyes aren't qualified
Your memory is your future, can you remember your end?
We are your faith and your fear
We are your inspiration and your overload
You're all equal
This is your reality, your veiled sight
You can never see
You can put the blame on us
I see you try to grow with your scars, but you fail again and again
You can put the blame on us, this is what we expect
This makes your life so much easier, just close your eyes, follow blindly
In your deepest dreams you can see us, in your lonely hours you can feel us
This prison was built for you, you are not ready for the outside
Maybe you will never be, maybe you will never see
Nothing is more constant than change
So why don't you change within?
Positions won't change as long as you can't see the point
Till then we will keep observing you..sneering


5. BLIND

Today my awakening was different
I'm dazzled by the hidden truth
It woke me up with sharp screams, it shook me up
Is it already too late, was this the last of our fights?
Maybe just a dream
It shines so fucking bright, tears roll out of my squinted eyes
This is the cold fire, burning down my little hope
I get up, I walk down the street again, but today I'm just the observer, now I am the seeing
Watching all the zombies, I am scared by their ashamed glances
Their empty faces with these glossy eyes, trying to evade my assessment
I see them dying within, lost on the way, not ready to pay
I walk along, no one holds me back, no one blocks my path
I can read their minds, they have lost their goals, lost their dreams, lost their selves
They don't know what they are searching for now
Now they feel the consequences of their stiffened way of life, caged in their own prison of lies
Focused on the fading things, now the safety falls to dust
What is the use of all the money now, can you remember your decision?
I watch 'em pay the price for being blind, for being so narrow-minded
The final question is: what if this was just a dream?
Was it just a dream?
You blind motherfuckers


6. SCISSORHANDS

I forget my own rules, but I still know the end of the story
What's happened to the world, what's happened to my life?There was a time I felt safe, safe from the drossiness, safe from discomfortno enemies no lies
Where is my soul, where are my ways, where is my heartover years it made me weak, it made me unpredictable
Something came across my way, it changed too many things inside me
Over years it made me weak
I saw your smileeverything around me seems to glow but everything I touch goes outi hold your hand, feel your breath, see your smilei took this gift from life, not knowing what awaits me
Another step in an unknown direction, how can I be sure, how can I be sure?Days go by, it seems to grow
It feels still right where I am
I can't see you anymore, feel you anymore
These voices are pushing me, they want me to fail
I am falling, nothing to lose, nothing to winhow could I be sure, why so sure?


7. PERCEPTION

(Instrumental)


8. THE GIFT

I was falling for a long time
Almost everything I knew became more fucking worthless
So many promises, so much energy
All I want is silence, all I want is peace, all I want is you
No more reason for searching for what I always expected from life
New direction, new fuckin' rules
You caught me on my way to my new life
I think it's time to act selfishly
Memories of a time before distrust and pain
Perhaps a dream, perhaps a trap
But not this time, it's too different
My pulse is slowing down, my eyes are closed now
And I create a picture in my head, a picture of the time
I draw it with my mind, it's colourful and bright
It's no longer waiting, from today it's arriving
This time I can see the sky, the first time I don't look back
No more walls, no more lies, I can breathe until after the sundown
My glowing heart, just awakened perfection within reach
My sad memories, you make them look like fading dust
I am the air, I am the ground, nothing can burn me down
I really missed this feeling, now I don't fear myself anymore
Open mind, open ways, my future turns to light
Hope has come to find me, my real destination
This is the control I was waiting for, it makes me unbreakable
I remember who I am, what i was, what i've become


9. DELIVERANCE

It was a long way, it took a long time to find a safety like this
I was almost giving up all my hope but in the end the picture in my head surpassed my expectations
A world so perfect, a world so fuckin' flawless
The search has an end, I don't need anything else other than this place, a place where I belong
Nothing is grey, even the dark clouds above me shine bright
The ocean so deep, my spirit above
Nomore questions, only answers
I take a deep breath, close my eyes, reach out my hand and try to stop the time to feel the perfection for longer
The warm, pleasant sunbeams on my face, the sand between my toes and the breeze in my hair
No-one can take this moment away from me
Please don't take me away from this place, please don't wake me up from the place where I belong


10. CHAPTERS

Looking back on my footsteps on the cold ground, feeling like fleeingthey say the path I took should be my fate, but I wanna take my lazy steps on my ownday by day, second by second, I set the course anewwalking through the frames of my life, looking for the moments i'll remember with a smiletripping over lies and hate, envy and vanityi wish I could change the order of proceedings, no chance at alli build a time machine, I will reverse my mistakes, pain - fade awayall these sources of noise are whispering and screaming, tempting and frighteningin the middle of my head, beyond my heartthey try to change my mind into some thing bad, fighting against them for yearsbut in the end I still decide on my own, fearing the mistakes,fearing the responsibility to myself and to my belovedthese Photos, can't overlook the flashlights, they are surrounding me, observing all my movementsbut finally it's me who's crying for my perfect sincerity, crying for my salvation,
Crying for the respect for myselfso where is the golden means of all decisions? I don't even know if there is a right way I could choose

I go down on my knees, I'm yelling at the ground, in the hope of finding some new answersthousands of questions, only one life for finding answers - one question for thousands of lives breathing slowlydespite this I never stopped believing in, waiting for the point I can see it clearly


11. BROKEN WINGS

The fetters are loose now but the reddened wrists will be visible forever
I was standing on the edge, i've lost almost my spirit, my path
Something died inside me
I didn't recognize myself when I was looking in the mirror
Something has grown inside me
What have I become?
I acted too late
I should have seen it but i've gone blind more and more
I've just heard this ticking in my head
I will never feel safe anymore, nowhere
Nothing will ever gonna be the same again, nothing
The surface won't be regrinded anymore
Now i've to conceal my scars which I'm trying to heal
I felt to cry, I cried to feel
What a waste, what a dissapointment
All the things you never appreciated
Like a leech on my neck, you took my energy
The wings are broken, the roses are black
The pictures remind only of days of lightness
No one can change it, no one to blame
Just forgive, just forget
In spite of all this I refuse to give up, I won't give up


12. INVISIBLE SCARS

I hope there is an end of this story
Everywhere I go, everytime I sleep I go around in the circle, again and again
On my way to a better life, with a free heart, a carefree mind
It's joining me through time and distance, like my fuckin' shadow
Invisible scars, caused by myself, so deep inside me
I played with the fire in my heart
It has finally caught me
They told me, it's time for change
The beauty enticed me to risk so many mistakes
Why not, why not?!
The signs were clear, the clouds were here
Who knows, maybe they're still right, maybe there will be rain again
Maybe I can forget, to forget the sadness
Just another aberration? Just a delusion?
So here we go, round 3, and I'm doubtful again
The shadow of the past so dark, making my life look empty
I hope there is an end of this story
Every night I dream of the love I lived twice
Every morning I wake up with memories of things that never happened
Alone in the crowd, maybe already forgotten
I see the time is working against me
I guess I can't stop this, because it's stronger than me
Impossible to learn the lesson, as long as my heart won't listen
The circle holds me back, I am strapped down
Waiting for the day I can break through, the moment I can catch up all the love
Waiting for the day, you aren't just a dream, no!


13. CARDIAC SILHOUETTE

Another sleepless night, time stands still, minutes seem like hours, hours like days

I take a deep breath, open my eyes and clench my hand into a fist
All these nightmares, they hunt me for real
Running away is futile, standing still is fatal
Can't distinguish between sweat and blood anymore
Was it our fault? We knew we could fail
I feel numb from drinking our tears, but when I remember your smile I know I have to face all this fear
I enter your room, close the door, smell your perfume
It hurts like an open sore, which will bleed forever
Was it me, that ended our dreams?
Somebody please cut me out of this twisted picture
I'm floating in memories, they feel like fractures reflecting on everything, since you disappeared
If there's one moment you can choose your fate
Why didn't we grow in love, instead of ending up in a fuckin' fight
Oh god, why?! Tell me why
You took the keys, started the car, drove into nowhere...with my heart
Now it all falls apart
I enter your room, close the door, whisper your name
It was our fault, we knew we could fail
