1. INCEPTUM FINIS

(Instrumental)


2. MOTHER

All the time they see the signs
Every day and don't wonder why
Can they really hear the screams
From the top of your tired lungs

Every day I watch you die
Every night I hear you cry
Every time they're living you behind

Hear me don't fear me
Take me in your arms of love
Mother you're torn asunder, going under
Their burning minds of dust

You gave them life and let them breathe
Forgave them all for what they did
Your rivers flow and flowers bloom
All in vain they're signing your doom

Ravaging and shattering
Burning fields and lands of free
Still you find a will to carry on

We are dust
We are (sanctus, sanctus) dust


3. MADE OF LIE

How can you see it
When your eyes are shut
How can you know it
When your mind is closed
How can you fly
When your wings are made of dust
How can you die
When your life is over before it starts

Every day you look away
Every time it's the same

You're made of lies
You'll never reach the morning light
And open your eyes
Your bloody ties
Will never chain my soul
Never still my heart

Now look around you and tell me what you see
Take a look at the world that you have left to bleed
Rip your heart away and spill the blood
On this ground that you never cared about

Never look my way
Better kneel down and pray


4. FOREVER THE SAME

Time, never will I find it
Doesn't mind, there's no tomorrow
Only stains in the dark
And all you see are...

Lies spread across the land
Where people live and die in despair
Wasting all we could be
Drowning in this tragedy

Forever the same
We'll never find the way back home
So we'll face the end of our own
The storm is closer the night is near
We fall asleep forever

Guilt, brought upon me
By those who want to to follow
But they don't know what they do
Destroying the future for me and you

Fear next to nothing
Worn by those so hollow
Greed blinding their eyes
So they can't see, they can't see


5. TRAGEDY

Restless storm shadows the sun
Helplessly the light dies down

A silent scream spreads on through the night
One more time struggling in a fight

Of being me, of who I am
You want to know, just take my hand

So many dreams, don't understand
Just follow me, and take a stand

On and on I'll lead the way
And show you what we've done today
We're near the end and all is lost
So now you know what is the cost

If only you could now, if only you could go
And live your life beyond this pain

But now it's too late, now you found yourself
And you see the signs

It's who we are, it's how we bleed
But in the end, that isn't what we see

Wanting more, never ending needs
Killing love in every being

This is my last tragedy
This is our last tragedy

On and on the sky will fall
Our own greed will kill us all
The time has come for us to see
That this is our reality
Our tragedy


6. NOCTURAL WINGS

Hey do you ever think of what could be
Wake up take a breath and follow me
Lock the door as you leave the sanctuary
Close your mind to the taste of betrayal

And here we stand warning for the night to come
Now here we lay bleeding but not for long

Far away from the pain
We try to seize the day
By the night the flame will burn
The skies await for our return
We will return

Hey I'm speaking to you
Do you hear my voice
Or you still believe I'm not you
Screaming inside your mind
Can you see me clear
Or you still believe that you are blind

And here we stand on the verge of no return
This is the time to spread your wings and fly away

We will return
We will return
Before the dreams are crushed and burned
We will return
We will return
To find a place where we will learn
To be who we are
To live how we feel
To bleed for the freedom that is real


7. CARRY ON THE FLAME

Life is waiting
Always there for you to come
In the universe
Of your unconscious mind
All the things we learned when we were young
Turned up to be lies
So we must find ourselves
Beyond this vivid light

Look inside the night
And don't fear the shadows
Close your eyes and see
Beyond the borders

Carry on the flame of life
Carry on all that you are
Don't turn back to see
What you could be
Just look inside you
And realize you are

All the years that passed away
And all the nights you spent in pain
Reflect the time
When you were asking questions
About the pieces of the world
We couldn’t save
About all the chances
We let slip away


8. PARADOX

The night falls around my heart
The dark engraves another scar
Every time wondering
Why is this happening

The gates open a path in lies
To land of dust and polluted skies
The dread imprisons my darken mind
Letting loose the ties that bind

More it hurts to feel the pain
Knowing you are causing it

I'm losing you, losing myself
To this demon called vanity
Everyday more and die
Killing what keeps me alive

Once again the new day dawns
Weary I take a hit of reality
But now I know you bleed the same
I'll keep you safe and kill you in the end

Amazingly you see the future
While you're destroying it


9. CITY OF VULTURES

In pain I travel all alone
Between the mountains of blood and bone
City of vultures calling me
And brings me closer to its walls

Misty road in front of me
Reeks of ashes and decay
My cape is black
My hands are blood
Of those who didn't care
To know my name

Don't want to be trapped inside
Don't want to know their reasons why
Don't want to be lost forever

My temple falls as the day goes by
Lost on the shores of the sea of lies
Seeking refuge in the same old scars
But still again I play my part

As I reach the gates of black
Dying whispers lead ahead
I feel my heart turn to stone
As I enter

Lurid colors burn my eyes
As I walk towards the line
Between the dead man's stare and poisoned air
Hey stranger help me find my way

Open the door and let me in
I want to sell you all my sins
I want to show you where I've been

Forget who you are
And go so far
Don't try to turn around
They will tear your soul apart


10. FLAMES OF REASON

Since I can remember I've fallen through the dark
The endless struggle within my troubled mind
Always thought the darkness was the key
To meaning, the will to be

You burned my heart with your lucid mind
And all the tales were left behind
I was floating over an endless sea
When flames of reason took all over me

Stay, stay my savior, my sign
Touch, feel this wounded soul of mine
Come, see through my disguise
I'm yours to keep, so be my demise

I want to spend the rest of my time
Walking beside you through this chaos
I want our love to be the cure for this earth
Where ruins we touch will find their rebirth


11. DEATH COMES ALIVE

I see the world in ruins
I see it die in flames
Every day this image reappears
The savior is too late
We never see him coming
Bound to relive the same tragedy

It is meant for us to bleed
Meant for us to bleed

When death comes alive
Everything shall die
Death comes alive
Every voice will sigh
All life's deprived
When death comes alive
All reasons denied

Another soldier died in vain
One more mother drowns in her pain
Another year goes by in an endless cry
Death is there and we can't see

That we are not supposed to be
Not supposed to be

Crumbling down destruction bound
Painful colors in our eyes
But it's our nature, and it's our curse
To see the beauty in our fall


12. EUTHANASIA FOR MANKIND
