Lyrics


1. THE MARVEL OF CHIMERA

At the foot of a mountain
The top seems out of sight

Burn, I wanna burn inside
Where's the next wall I can raze?
Try, try to erase a life
Equalized and fairly safe

This is my way…

The Marvel of Chimera
There is light behind the darkness of your days
"I'll die with a name, so what do you die for?"
The Marvel of Chimera
The fire in your heart devours your shoulders weight
"I'll die with a name, so what do you die for?"

The further you climb
The more you see light

Am I faithless? How can I believe?
This is my only life!
Driven by an inner flame
I am struggling to survive

This is my way…

The Marvel of Chimera – "with this fire I'll burn my hell"
There is light behind the darkness of your days
"I'll die with a name, so what do you die for?"
The Marvel of Chimera – "nothings gonna stop me now"
The fire in your heart devours your shoulders weight
"I'll die with a name, so what do you die for?
So what do you die for?"

Leave it all behind
This is your place and time
A laurel wreath nailed to your cross
When you step into the light of the world

The Marvel of Chimera – "with this fire I'll burn my hell"
There is light behind the darkness of your days
"I'll die with a name, so what do you die for?"
The Marvel of Chimera – "nothings gonna stop me now"
The fire in your heart devours your shoulders weight
"I'll die with a name, so what do you die for?”


2. A CALL TO ARMS

To all you distrustful creatures out in the night
I am calling you to arms; we're taking back our life

While the world is wrapped in noise, we must hear our hearts
‘Cause we are here to help ourselves and find another start

Turn up your voice within – wipe out the noise
Now let them know we are here to stay
This time we will overcome
History is the price to pay
A new storm is beating our drum

While the world is wrapped in noise we feel so unrepressed
We need an undepraved heart to fill this emptiness

Turn up your voice within – wipe out the noise
Now let them know we are here to stay
This time we will overcome
History is the price to pay
A new storm is beating our drum

There is a war coming after us
How can we tell wrong from right?
There is a war deep in all of us
Finding our way in the night

Now let them know we are here to stay
This time we will overcome
History is the price to pay
A new storm is beating our drum
(x2)


3. REMOTE

The ruins of past on an island of violence
This place is captivating and odious at once

You can not stay away
You always go back to lay...

...down on your shore that makes you feel secure
Do you think you don't deserve any better?

Cold and grey, the ghosts you chose
They make you sway, they pull you close

I can see your hate
Caught in the past, you bleed and wait
– The river so cold, you can not cross –
Through the cracks you see a place
With all the love that you once lost

Hope is a raft
In an ocean of fear
The further you flee
The more it brings you back here
From a mind of despair grows a heart made of stone
You can't find your place in life, nor find back home

Hands of ghosts, they're on your tail
Ensure you to turn back and fail

Caught in the past, you bleed and wait
– The river so cold, you can not cross –
Through the cracks you see a place
With all the love that you once lost

I am nowhere, drift in the ocean
How could I lose all of my faith
Bridges burning, hope is dying
Will I ever find my way?

Dandum semper est tempus
Veritatem dies aperit!
(x2)

With the burden you bear, you can't be with me
With the burden you bear, you can't fulfill me

All the beauty in you like a grime-stained light
Is covered in dirt, it’s buried in the night, buried in your night!

I can see your hate
Caught in the past, you bleed and wait
– The river so cold, you can not cross –
Through the cracks you see a place
With all the love that you once lost


4. DESTINED WAYS

A late September day
And I buried the doubt
I let you in and my heart –
My heart I locked out

Is there a will and way
Or is it all foregone?
Can we control our fate
Or is it leading?

It’s been eight years and I,
I don’t know where I’ve been
How could I ignore the scream
That came from deep within

Is there a will and way
Or is it all foregone?
Can we control our fate
Or is it leading?
(x3)

I leave my destined ways to find a place
Where I can rest my soul
And in the darkest night
I’ll find a vivid light
To blend the demons eyes

I leave my destined ways
For a path that leads me to myself
If there’s will and way
I will build the kingdom in a day

I leave my destined ways
For a path that leads me to myself
(x2)


5. FALLING WATER

A heartless cold is pouring down like rain
The sound of change swallowed your last words

We will never meet again
What will be, will be
The heartless waters fall,
Falling down on me

The roses burn and all vases are broken
We lost our hearts for the hope of love

We will never meet again
What will be, will be
The heartless waters fall,
Falling down on me

An autumn sky, no shades of grey
Tears are made to dry when the clouds have lost the rain

We will never meet again
What will be, will be
The heartless waters fall,
Falling down on me


6. THE GREED

I’ll still be loved in a hundred years
I won’t cease to exist
Not to die, but to be a star in the sky

My greatness – true glory
You love yourself – you feel divine
And every day I grow up
I kneel in front of you
It’s inside of me: a Greed!

I turn my back on you! – You are worthless
Derision – despite and the scorn – throw you off the throne!
You will fall to pieces, regardless of all glory
Just a small part of the whole
You are dispensable!

My greatness – true glory
You love yourself – you feel divine
And every day I grow up
I kneel in front of you
It’s inside of me: a Greed!
The more you feed, the more
I will cross – I will cross all borders
The more I’m lush, the more it grows
It spreads like a disease

My greatness – true glory
You love yourself – you feel divine
For all times – the love will go on
This existence – will never end!

I would be empty without it. I have to be filled
But this greed is the source of all my – of all my pain!


7. ERROR

Sunset and the rain has stopped
The shadow of candles stroke aslant their walls
The mail dropped the order and I started to obey
Lost my head to the gun and my heart to the hate
Innocence in their burning eyes
So safe in the knowledge of no chance at all

All my dreams turned grey that day
How very young the faces were...
I should have known, I could have stopped
This mistake in the game of thrones
It tears me down, beyond belief
While all my dreams turned grey that day
How very young the faces were
Where all the dead burned bodies lay

I was thirty and convinced when I walked through that lane
With the dawn of my doom only one step away

Blackest smoke arose from the hills
The heartless thrones misspent all our souls
All my dreams turned grey that day
How very young the faces were...
I should have known, I could have stopped
This mistake in the game of thrones
It tears me down, beyond belief
While all my dreams turned grey that day
How very young the faces were
Where all the dead burned bodies lay

Deep in your soul we are all still alive
Feeding your heart with anger and pain

With my own hands
What have I done?
It tears me apart
A ruefully heart

Deep in the night we will come to your bed
Burning bodies are calling your name

I want to forget
The anger of guns
The monster I've been
An indescribable sin

Silence and grace are afar of your days
Will you take the step into your fate?

Take it away
My life away
I will atone

All my dreams turned grey that day
How very young the faces were...
I should have known, I could have stopped
This mistake in the game of thrones
It tears me down, beyond belief
While all my dreams turned grey that day
How very young the faces were
Where all the dead burned bodies lay


8. LAST PANTOMINE

I spend six nights of seven days
In the mirror of the eyes
I dress and talc and concentrate
On scripted words trapped in my mind

A knocking at the door
A small and narrow floor
Leads me to the calling of my life

And I'm, I'm at my best again
‘Cause you came for me, you're hiding in the lights

Is there anybody out there?

The show, the show must go on again
Fading smiles behind the mask
Throw my heart, my heart on the stage again
Just a step out of the dark

A knocking at the door
A small and narrow floor
Leads me to the calling of my life

Will you stay the rest of time
Watching my last pantomime?

Give us more!
We want more!

When the curtain falls
I will fade and fall as well
When the curtain falls
I will fade and I'll let go

I'll let go
Don't let go
(x3)

The show, the show must go on again
Fading smiles behind the mask
Throw my heart, my heart on the stage again
Just a step out of the dark


9. EQUILIBRIA

My life, full of plans and visions
A horizon of gold, but feet of concrete
The extra mile going backwards
Sometimes one step back means one step further

With every silent minute, it tears apart my conscience
All silence comes with sloth
Sloth leads to worry, it makes me wanna burn
Who’s gonna help me out?

I feel so far away – miles away
I seek serenity – sobriety
But the silence in serenity,
It feels like a crown of thorns – crown of thorns

(Can you still see? – Look what you’ve done)
(Can you still feel? – Look what you’ve done)
So many vampires, feasting on my blood
My inner peace is buried – it’s hard to dig it out
Don’t you take my strength – I need it for myself
But suddenly I stand alone and walk this road all by my own

With every silent minute, it tears apart my conscience
All silence comes with sloth
Sloth leads to worry, it makes me wanna burn
Who’s gonna help me out?

I walk further down the road
I will clear a way for me – Equilibria
Wander through the deepest dale
Soon I’ll rest forevermore – Equilibria

I feel so far away – miles away
I seek serenity – sobriety
But the silence in serenity,
It feels like a crown of thorns – crown of thorns


10. REQUIEM

I am still a part of you and you are always in my soul

Summer blooms drifted all across the aisles
And the sun seeded dreams in the heart of every child
There was no grief that could have frozen our smiles
When a dark, rash shadow took away what once was mine


11. SONG OF REVENGE

Remember what you did to me
The day that you erased her life
A blind rush on an empty street
A thing I'll never forgive

Requiescat in pace
Who are you to play with life?
Requiescat in pace
Now I'll hate you till I die!

Burn, burn, burn for what you did to us!
There is a hater in my heart!
Burn for your craven act
I sing the song of revenge

A wrong step from a little foot
A black mark upon her shroud
No words for the emptiness
I had to feel when she was laid out

Requiescat in pace
Who are you to play with life?
Requiescat in pace
I came to demand my right!

I sing my Song of revenge
There is some dirt upon your scalp
The song of Revenge
Eye for an eye, heart for a heart

Requiem aeternam dona eis, O Domine
Requiem aeternam dona eis, O Domine
Sanctum, mortuis in memoriam – Memento mori!
Sanctum, mortuis in memoriam – Memento mori!
Ira! Odium!
Flagra! Ultio!
Hostimentum!
Umbra! Obscuritas!
Iniuria!

Requiescat in pace
Who are you to play with life?
Requiescat in pace
It is my god given right!


12. THE UNSPEAKABLE

I look at you, traces of time unfold on your skin
Have you been the love of my life?
Did we fail in kissing us goodbye?

I always dreamed love would be true
And when I gave it up
Then there where you...

You are the only one I ever needed for me
Still there are the lonely parts in me
You are the only one I ever needed with me,
When angels of death will lift us high

You know you can't fool me,
I've been loving you too long
It started so young
And we just carried on

You know you can't fool me
I've been listening too long
Now you remind me of a youth
That has been blurry and all gone

And when I gave it up
Then there where you...

You are the only one I ever needed for me
Still there are the lonely parts in me
