Lyrics


1. THROUGH THE ECHOES, FUTURE & PAST

Wasted a life for the days to come forget or to devote
There was so much to be said and done and now you're the scapegoat

Sacrificed everything
Distracted by the suffering

Too many times and for so many years you've bled for the greater good
Nothing is enough - it's true
With the lies of your biggest fears you should run if you only could
Forced to give it up for you

Now it is time to open your eyes

Fall to the ground - do not make a sound
Take a look around - rise up and you will fall
To the ground - do not make a sound
Take a look around - you are on your own

Nothing is enough - it's true
Forced to give it up for you

Sacrificed everything
Distracted by the suffering

See through the echoes of the future and past you're blinded forevermore
Nothing is enough - it's true
The deafening silence will last on your knees you will beg for war

Now it is time to open your eyes

Fall to the ground - do not make a sound
Take a look around - rise up and you will fall
To the ground - do not make a sound
Take a look around - you are on your own

Controlled by faith - one way to feel
Destroyed by love - no time to heal
Consumed by hate - one chance to fight
Burnt out by all - no hope tonight

Fall to the ground - do not make a sound
Take a look around - rise up and you will fall
To the ground - do not make a sound
Take a look around - you are on your own


2. INSIDE THE VOID

Rooted so deep underground
Hiding here made us feel so safe all around

Nothing remains the same - evolution
We are the ones to blame - resolution
Nothing can change the fact - execution
Now it's the time to act

What if we never learn
Next time could be our turn - could be our turn
What if we'll never know
When is the time to go - to go away

Guarded too well by the void
Good enough to slowly turn us paranoid

Too late we can't return - regression
This world is doomed to burn - retribution
Our fate is not to thrive - contribution
Only to stay alive

What if we never learn
Next time could be our turn - could be our turn
What if we'll never know
When is the time to go - to go away

What if we never learn
Next time could be our turn - could be our turn
What if we'll never know
When is the time to go - to go away


3. FRAGMENTS OF THE INNOCENT

Surrounded worthless drowning in shame
Defeated broken buried in pain
Shattered rotten stained in disgrace
Fragments of the innocent scattered all over

Hated hunted ready to dive
Wounded bleeding barely alive
Forgotten banished rejected from life
Fragments of the innocent

Scattered all over

Hear this voice of mine taking you out of line
Violence lust and greed - they're all you'll ever see
See these hands of mine backstab you one more time
Bloodshed war and hate - they're here to steal your faith

Exhausted starving weakened by time
Hollow empty victim of crime
Wasted useless burnt to the ground
Fragments of the innocent

Scattered all over

Hear this voice of mine taking you out of line
Violence lust and greed - they're all you'll ever see
See these hands of mine backstab you one more time
Bloodshed war and hate - they're here to steal your faith

Hear this voice of mine taking you out of line
See these hands of mine backstab you one more time


4. MESSENGER OF SORROW

This is the prophecy
Our dreams and hopes denied
Our fates now redesigned
Our freedom too confined
Total control of mind

The frontline of doom is about to land
The decadence of our world is close at hand
Caugth in a war we can not win
Surrounds us all and takes you in

How can we fight - this state we're in
Maybe we need something to change within

Breath - keep moving
Hope for the best wait for tomorrow
Give up now - lay down and hide
Expect the worst messenger of sorrow

This is the prophecy
Our tears and love despised
Our fears now amplified
Our sorrow too refined
Now will the stars allign

How can we accept this state of mind
They're guiding our way as if we're blind
Locked in these chains we can not brake
The decision is your's not our's to make

Breath - keep moving
Hope for the best wait for tomorrow
Give up now - lay down and hide
Expect the worst messenger of sorrow

How can we fight this state we're in
Maybe we need something to change within

Ring-a-round the rosie
A pocket full of posies
Ashes ashes - we all fall down

Breath - keep moving
Hope for the best wait for tomorrow
Give up now - lay down and hide
Expect the worst messenger of sorrow

Breath - keep moving
Hope for the best wait for tomorrow
Give up now - lay down and hide
Expect the worst messenger of sorrow


5. NIGHTFALL

One day in November
We embraced the endless night
Darkness fell and ate the light

The situation is a lot worse that we expected
I think we need some drastic measures

No bright tomorrow
Just pain and sorrow
This is a burden I can bear no longer
Our lives are wasted
Reasons for hatred
Is all we are

Do you to remember
We once saw the morning sun
No one knew it had begun

Violence abuses and poverty are leading people to look for new lives elsewhere
The conflict continues

No bright tomorrow
Just pain and sorrow
This is a burden I can bear no longer
Our lives are wasted
Reasons for hatred
Is all we are

No bright tomorrow
Just pain and sorrow
This is a burden I can bear no longer
Our lives are wasted
Reasons for hatred
Is all we are

No bright tomorrow
Just pain and sorrow
This is a burden I can bear no longer
Our lives are wasted
Reasons for hatred
Is all we are

7. SCREAMING BACK TO HELL

Demons driven by greed for power
With lies we're ready to strike and devour
Never learn that in return
We fall we burn we suffer together

Screaming back to hell
Into the scorching flames
That's where we're going to
No matter what you try to do
Screaming back to hell
Right through the burning frames
That's where we do belong
No matter what you're longing for

Creatures possessed by hatred for life
In time we'll see the results and the size
In the end we are condemned
We fall we burn we suffer together

Screaming back to hell
Into the scorching flames
That's where we're going to
No matter what you try to do
Screaming back to hell
Right through the burning frames
That's where we do belong
No matter what you're longing for

Every day is like a blank page
A miserable life in a filthy cage
Repeating questions ask me why
Life is a bitch and then you die
All this frustration
I am the one can to solve this strife
My desperation
Vengeange and justice both will be done

Screaming back to hell
Into the scorching flames
That's where we're going to
No matter what you try to do
Screaming back to hell
Right through the burning frames
That's where we do belong
No matter what you're longing for


8. 5000 VOICES

I am the path that will lead you astray
I am the snake that will keep you away
Another tempting whisper in your ear
I bring to life everything that you fear

Invitation revelation
Feel the chill run up your spine
Confrontation degradation
Seal the deal of new blood line

Just another nightmare
Five thousand voices screaming in your head
One after another
Blessed by this darkness calling out your name

I am the poison running through your vein
I am the shock that will shut down your brain
Another shadow to make you disappear
I bring to life everything that you fear

I'm incomplete

Invitation - revelation
Confrontation - degradation

Just another nightmare
Five thousand voices screaming in your head
One after another
Blessed by this darkness calling out your name

Just another nightmare
Five thousand voices screaming in your head
One after another
Blessed by this darkness calling out your name


9. THE DEVIL INSIDE ME

Flame of a life is burning down so low
My every breath and vain are cold as snow
You cannot take my life and just fade away
I take it back and force you to pay

Keep turning away
Don't ever look back

This cruel life is darker than the night
Your sun is dead shadows lost their light
Endless nightmare can't let you wake
Few more minutes and your soul will break

I'm walking my way down
How deep could this go
Look in to my eyes what can you see
It's the devil inside me

Deep down inside of me there is something about to break free
I'm a false messiah - I've come to cause you pain
Some day you will learn not to trust me or you’re going to burn
I'm a false messiah - embrace me once again

On this dead end road make your last call
It's not just me together we shall fall
I take your hand and I hold my breath
The last lethal kiss - rest in death

You've distorted our minds
With your tainted thoughts
Look in to my eyes what can you see
It's the devil inside me

Deep down inside of me there is something about to break free
I'm a false messiah - I've come to cause you pain
Some day you will learn not to trust me or you’re going to burn
I'm a false messiah - embrace me once again

Deep down inside of me there is something about to break free
I'm a false messiah - I've come to cause you pain
Some day you will learn not to trust me or you’re going to burn
I'm a false messiah - embrace me once again


10. SLAVES TO THE GREED

So what if you try to save the world
And hold them when they run
Show me that you'll stop them now
Don't wait until sundown

Don't wait for tonight
This sickness can't go on

Slaves to the greed
Fanatics are about to bleed
See what it takes to beat the rest
Slaves to the greed
The starving that need to feed
To get away you need to clear the nest

Pause - stall
Stop just for tonight

So what if you want to turn back time
Erase the things we've done
Show me something real this once
Don't act like everyone

Don't act like they do
This madness can't go on
Go on

Slaves to the greed
Fanatics are about to bleed
See what it takes to beat the rest
Slaves to the greed
The starving that need to feed
To get away you need to clear the nest

Pause - stall
Stop just for tonight

Slaves to the greed
Fanatics are about to bleed
See what it takes to beat the rest
Slaves to the greed
The starving that need to feed
To get away you need to clear the nest

Pause - stall
Stop just for tonight

Wait - save
Hold - show
Save the world
You will stop them now

Slaves to the greed
Fanatics are about to bleed
See what it takes to beat the rest
Slaves to the greed
The starving that need to feed
To get away you need to clear the nest

Pause - stall
Stop just for tonight

Slaves to the greed
Fanatics are about to bleed
See what it takes to beat the rest
Slaves to the greed
The starving that need to feed
To get away you need to clear the nest

Pause - stall
Stop just for tonight
