1. THE SONGS OF THE WHALES

Sleep now my child
Let your dreams guide your way
Clear is the sky in your dream tonight

Hear the songs of the whales before they are lost
They will tell you a story from the seas
We all need to hear

Please find the key to the box of pandora
We ripped the lid from the box long ago

Our hope is that you will find a way
To close the box you inherited from us
We're led astray
Please don't follow us
Hear the song of the whales

Hear the songs of the whales before they are lost
They will tell you a story from the seas
We all need to hear


2. FORGIVE ME

Fragile you came to me
Like a dried leave
I still feel my restless state
Something under my skin crawling around

You gave your heart to me
At least i tried, sincerely tried

You have to realise
I tried to heal these wounds
Wounds that cannot be healed
You fell apart to a thousand pieces

Wherever you are please forgive me

I hope you will find the key
To solve your puzzle someday
One day not far from now
I will not even remember your name

Whoever you are please forgive me


3. THE MONOTONIC SCREAM

The only thing that occupies this moment
The monotonic screaming noise in a false tone

Still standing among all my scattered things
Distracted by my filthy worn-down finger nails

I feed on guilt
I hate myself

I cannot touch your face no more
I dress up in my self-pity once more
Competing with my image in
A labyrinth of mirrors

A final glance at the darkest stain before i close the door
I walk down the corridor with countless silent doors
And every step will take me down in this whirlwind of despair
At the end of the corridor i sign my resignation

I feed on guilt
I hate myself
I cannot touch your face no more

The monotonic screaming noise in a false tone


4. TWISTED GAMES

Don't play your twisted games
I've had enough by now
Please leave me be

Your fake tears will dry
When i turn around
Your insidious smile shines bright
While you stir your knife
Deep inside in my spine
I can see your pain
Transcending our love
I had a dream where we co-exist

I remember your smile
When we first met
I drowned myself in your eyes
You hid your dark side well
And your sharp claws
Gently caressed your prey

I have to flee from you...
And your twisted games


5. IN ABUNDANCE

A search for things, a need to fill
Something rare, something never seen
Too much time with my own mind
Tried hiding myself in the sun hoping to see the light

A short romance, a sense of lust
Primal beauty, a way to feel again
I pour myself another drink
That bottle...it greets me like an old friend

A prophecy fulfilled with no hope
Life denied
Another world will crumble to pieces
I will fall

I bow down by all i'll leave behind
In silence, in abundance
At this altar to my failures
There is no turning back

What else is there but this emptiness?
I've been trying to kill this nothingness
I hang my head, sunken deep below
Still i don't know how to live without you


6. OPEN YOUR MIND

In an empty room you can scream
In the darkness you can bleed
In the darkness

In a crowded room you can hide
In a corner silently

It's time to stop wallowing in the mire
Embrace yourself and make a stand
Somewhere deep down in your subconscious
A voice of reason is growing strong

With an open mind you can see
All the oppression, all the guilt and all the greed
Raise your voice - freedom of speech - you're not alone
We can make the difference

It's time to stop wallowing in the mire
Embrace yourself and make a stand
Somewhere deep down in your subconscious
A voice of reason is growing strong

In a crowded room you will speak
With a voice sincere and full of hope


7. VANITY

Impatiently you keep weaving
Your costume made of flesh
At first impression without flaws
A masquerade decadent

You are shining like a diamond
But your soul is made of coal
A facade filled with hidden cracks
About to be ruined

Beauty has two faces
One is obvious the other veiled
A symbiotic balance for the veiled to thrive
Vanity consumes your soul

You are shining like a diamond
But your soul is made of coal
A facade filled with hidden cracks
About to be ruined
