1. ORIGIN

You hold the answer deep within your own mind
Death in it's most hideous form


2. WHISPER

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drive me into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

[Chorus]
Don't turn away
Don't give in to the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep - Never die

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be
Blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

[Chorus]

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me - I fear
She beckons me - Shall I give in
Upon my end - Shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet the end

[Chorus]


3. IMAGINARY

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh - How I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light

[Chorus]
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story

If you need to leave the world you live in
Lay your head down and stay a while
Though you may not remember dreaming
Something waits for you to breathe again

[Chorus]


4. MY IMMORTAL

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much the time cannot erase

[Chorus]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much the time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]


5. WHERE WILL YOU GO

You're too important for anyone
You play the role of all you long to be
But I - I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone

But where will you go?
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape - You can't escape

You think that I can't see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You're left to face yourself alone

But where will you go?
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't abandon everyone
You can't escape - You don't want to escape

I'm so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that
You can't live your whole life all alone?
I can hear you in a whisper
But you can't even hear me screaming

Where will you go?
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't reject the whole world
You can't escape - You won't escape
You can't escape - You don't want to escape


6. FIELD OF INNOCENCE

I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now

Where has my heart gone?
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I - I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now

[Chorus]
Where has my heart gone?
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I - I want to go back to
Believing in everything

As the years pass by
Before my face
As wars rage before me
Finding myself
In these last days of existence
This parasite inside me
I forced it out
In the darkness of the storm
Lies an evil
But it's me

Where has my heart gone?
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I - I want to go back to
Believing in everything
Oh Where

[Chorus]

I still remember


7. EVEN IN DEATH

Give me a reason to believe that you're gone
I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong
Moonlight on the soft brown earth
It leads me to where you lay
They took you away from me but now I'm taking you home

I will stay forever here with you - My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on

Some say I'm crazy for my love - Oh my love
But no bonds can hold me from your side - Oh my love
They don't know you can't leave me
They don't hear you singing to me

I will stay forever here with you - My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
And I can't love you anymore than I do

People die but real love is forever


8. ANYWHERE

Dear my love - Haven't you wanted to be with me?
And dear my love - Haven't you longed to be free?
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night - You are my own
Take my hand

[Chorus]
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long - I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away - I'll take you there

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you

Now

[Chorus]


9. LIES

Bound at every limb by my shackels of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within - Pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again

You will nerver be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above

[Chorus]
They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me

But through my tears breaks a blinding light
Birthing a dawn to this endless night
Arms outstretched - Awaiting me
An open embrace upon a bleeding tree

Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you

[Chorus] (x2)

Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you

[Chorus]


10. AWAY FROM ME

I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll
I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds
But oh God I feel I've been lied to
Lost all faith in the things I have achieved

[Chorus]
I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
Away from this place I have made
Won't you take me away from me?

Crawling through this world
As disease flows through my veins
I look into myself but my own heart has been changed
I can't go on like this
I loathe all I've become

[Chorus]

Lost in a dying world I reach for something more
I have grown so weary of this lie I live

I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
I have woken now to find myself
I'm lost in shadows of my own
I'm longing to be lost in you
Away from me


11. SOLITUDE

How many times have you told me you love her?
As many times as I wanted to tell you the truth
How long have I stood here beside you?
I lived through you - You looked through me

[Chorus 1]
Ooo - Solitude
Still with me is only you
Ooo - Solitude
I can't stay away from you

How many times have I done this to myself?
How long will it take before I see?
When will this hole in my heart be mended?
Who now is left alone but me?

Ooo - Solitude
Forever me - Forever you
Ooo - Solitude
Only you - Only true

Everyone leaves me stranded
Forgotten - Abandoned - Left behind
I can't stay here another night

Your secret admirer
Who could it be?

Ooo - Can't you see all along it was me?
How can you be so blind as to see right through me?

Ooo - Solitude
Still with me is only you
Ooo - Solitude
I can't stay away from you

Ooo - Solitude
Forever me - Forever you
Ooo - Solitude
Only you - Only true


12. EXODUS

My black backpack stuffed with broken dreams
Twenty bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment
Thought it a thousand times but now
I'm leaving home

[Chorus]
Here in the shadows
I'm safe - I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
But I cannot stay where I don't belong

Two months passed by and it's getting cold
I know I'm not lost - I'm just alone
But I won't cry - I won't give up - I can't go back now
Waking up is knowing who you really are

[Chorus]

In the shadows
I'm safe - I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
But I cannot stay here - Oh
Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more dismay in empty eyes


13. SO CLOSE

I've spent so much time
Throwing rocks at your window
But I never even knocked
On your front door

I walk by statues
Never even made one chip
But if I could leave a mark
On the monument of your heart
I just might lay myself down
For a little more hope than I had
The last day (x3)

Wait a time
To spare these lies we tell ourselves
These days have come and gone
But this time it's sweeter than honey


14. UNDERSTANDING

You hold the answers deep within your own mind
Consciously - You've forgotten it
That's the way the human mind works
Whenever something is too unpleasant - to shameful for us - to entertain - we reject it
We erase it from our memories
But the imprint is always there

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't cry it all away

The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual
Shame we idolize
To blind them from the truth
That finds a way from who we are
Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence
Screaming in our hearts
My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my Valentin

We're supposed to try and be real
And I feel alone - And we're not together
And that is real

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The life that flows inside of you
Burns inside of me
Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this
And I will die for you
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know I cannot
Bear it all alone

You're not alone - Honey
Never - Never

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away
No - No

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
Ooh - It all away
Ooh - It all away

But the imprint is always there
Nothing is ever really forgotten
Because I'm dying too
I'm dying too
I'm dying too
I'm dying too
Because I'm dying too


15. THE END

(Instrumental)


16. GIVE UNTO ME

I've been watching you from a distance
The distance sees through your disguise
All I want from you is your hurting
I want to heal you
I want to save you from the dark

Give unto me your trouble
I'll endure your suffering
Place onto me your burden
I'll drink your deadly poison

Why should I care if they hurt you?
Somehow it matters more to me
Than if I were hurting myself
Save you - Save you
I'll save you

[Chorus]
Fear not the flame of my love's candle
Give unto me your trouble
Fear not the flame of my love's candle
I'll endure your suffering
Let it be the sun in your world of darkness
Place onto me your burden
Give unto me all that frightens you
I'll drink your deadly poison
I'll have your nightmares for you if you sleep soundly

[Chorus]

Fear not the flame of my love's candle
Let it be the sun in your world of darkness


17. FORGIVE ME

Can you forgive me again?
I don't know what I said
But I didn't mean to hurt you

I heard the words come out
I felt that I would die
It hurts so much to hurt you

Then you look at me
You're not shouting anymore
You're silently broken

I'd give anything now
To kill those words for you

Each time I say something - I regret - I cry - I don't wanna lose you
But some how I know that you will never leave me - Yeah

'Cause you were made for me
Some how I'll make you see
How happy you make me

I can't live this life
Without you by my side
I need you to survive

So stay with me
You look in my eyes and I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry

And you forgive me again
You're my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt you
