1. ZERO DAWN

(Instrumental)


2. THE FALL OF HUMAN RACE

Mankind decayed inside its cage

Every day we strain, a life in chains out of greed and hunger
Always searching for a thrill: no matter the score
Nothing feeds our vanity

We stand alone in the endless search
To fulfill our thirst and yearning
For things we cannot get
We fell from grace
But no one seems to care

How long can we sell lies to ourselves
Before chances have all come and past?
Selfish, broken, mankind′s fallen
For eyes too blind to see
The world keeps burning day by day in a quiet grey
Bleeding in silence
A withered leaf that fades away
Behold the fall of the human race

In the name of flesh and blood we shape every dream and longing
Always wanting something more, it's never enough
What we achieve′s not meant to quell

We taint the world with our senseless game
But this can't go on forever
We just have to change, to change our ways
To make it right again

How long can we sell lies to ourselves
Before chances have all come and past?
Selfish, broken, mankind's fallen
For eyes too blind to see
The world keeps burning day by day in a quiet grey
Bleeding in silence
A withered leaf that fades away
Behold the fall of the human race

How long can we sell lies to ourselves
Before chances have all come and past?
Selfish, broken, mankind′s fallen
For eyes too blind to see
The world keeps burning day by day in a quiet grey
Bleeding in silence
A withered leaf that fades away
Behold the fall of the human race


3. A NEW BREED

Day after day
The requiem for our dying race
We′re down a dead end street where
The path's been tracked by our ego

Alone and forsaken through the alleys of this human masquerade
Desire, temptation dancing inside our head
Beyond the gates of reason

Break the mold
As the wind of change blows straight to a better day
Time has come for a brighter fate
Where nothing will stand our way... will stand our way
Break the mold
Every single breath will make all the worries fade
The page′s been turned
To a whole new different world
Shake the demons off, release the fear

Over the self to ascend beyond the human fails
Our step towards (r)evolution
Will bend the laws of creation

Untamed and awakened from a slumber made of fears and overthinks
A new breed, emerging
This is our birth again, a new life waiting

Break the mold
As the wind of change blows straight to a better day
Time has come for a brighter fate
Where nothing will stand our way... will stand our way
Break the mold
Every single breath will make all the worries fade
The page's been turned

Alone and forsaken
Desire, temptation
Untamed and awakened
A new breed emerging
Free from a world of chains we can find our way

Break the mold
As the wind of change blows straight to a better day
Time has come for a brighter fate
Where nothing will stand our way... will stand our way
Break the mold
Every single breath will make all the worries fade
The page's been turned


4. INTO THE BREAK OF A NEW DAY

Two-sided heart to lead existence
A silent tide, the days go by through light and shade
The struggle of our race: the human illness

How many times I feel uncertain
Carried by the chains of my mind and skin
Torn within every breath that I take

The hunger feeding on me
It burns and makes me craving for some more
It led my heart astray day by day

The final shot
To erase all instincts
And let us finally come alive
Out of deception
Open your eyes and break away
We can′t waste another day
Say goodbye to pain and misery
And from our each depravity
With the dawn we will wake
Into the break of a better day

We'll move ahead to a new direction
And rise as one as we outrun our past mistakes
A life above the strains that weigh us down here

Out of the dark we′ve been alone in
Forget war and hate, no more crime, all sins will fade away
Like a 'mare on a new day

The hunger feeding on me
It burned and made me craving for some more
It led my heart astray day by day
I'll bury it away

The final shot
To erase all instincts
And let us finally come alive
Out of deception
Open your eyes and break away
We can′t waste another day
Say goodbye to pain and misery
And from our each depravity
With the dawn we will wake
Into the break of a better day

That hunger feeding on me
It burned and made me craving for some more
It led my heart astray day by day

The final shot
To erase all instincts
And let us finally come alive
Out of deception
Open your eyes and break away
We can′t waste another day
Say goodbye to pain and misery
And from our each depravity
With the dawn we will wake
Into the break of a better day


5. HEART BEGINS TO BREAK

Another dawn without a meaning, stuck in repeat our daily race
No memories, no plans, heading to nowhere

As if in a dream turned into a nightmare
Lost inside a maze blinded by a reverie
Feeling out of place every single moment
As my life is streaming away

Free from the shadow we feared
We crossed the borders and fell in a world asleep yet awake
The perfect sky that we craved can gift no rain
This all got too out of hands

Dreams in the gutter, unspent, desire traded to ascent
The track is blurred, dust covered the way
Afraid and blind we misshaped the human clay
We breathe, we don′t live, torn, we're lost into the fall

Fragile and weak: beyond the surface heart only beats, it doesn′t feel
Like numbers with no name, we run without purpose

Choosing not to live, wasted out to nothing
Haunted by the sin we've fallen for the remedy
Time is wearing thin, we didn't see the warnings
Sinking like a ship in the sand

What matters taken away
We lost all wonder
We′re broken and blind, so tailored our fate
The world keeps turning around
As no one cares the future becomes the past

Dreams in the gutter, unspent, desire traded to ascent
The track is blurred, dust covered the way
Afraid and blind we misshaped the human clay
We breathe, we don′t live, lost into the fall
Give up this lie as a trade for (a) heart beginning to break
A bounded soul, the pulse in our veins
To heed the small voice buried within

Dreams in the gutter, unspent, desire traded to ascent
Give up this lie as a trade for (a) heart beginning to break

Dreams in the gutter, unspent, desire traded to ascent
The track is blurred, dust covered the way
Afraid and blind we misshaped the human clay
We breathe, we don't live, lost into the fall
Give up this lie as a trade for (a) heart beginning to break
A bounded soul, the pulse in our veins
To heed the small voice buried within


6. THE PHANTOM PAIN

As the night draws in
Every doubt and every fear, they break in
After many years, what is left of those promises?

A vision for a world to build
A brand new humanity
Locking greed and lust away to make it better

So how have we just come to this?
There′s nothing sending chills on my skin
No desire burning within
Every day, every color tasting like grey
Running round in circle
Ghosts without a reason to be
We wake up to the light that announced the new day
To find it all stays the same
And live with this phantom pain

A smile on no one's face
Heart is dull, there are no tears to dim eyes
A daydream walk towards our demise
All the questions fade
Everything just falls into place
We live inside a make-believe
But no one see it′s unreal
In a dream, we're lost, awake until our conscience fades

We sold our feelings to a play
Now we're nothing but a fake
Flawless and perfect with no fail

Nothing sending chills on my skin
No desire burning within
Every day, every color tasting like grey
Running round in circle
Ghosts without a reason to be
We wake up to the light that announced the new day
To find it all stays the same

Running with no reason to be
We wake up to the light that announced the new day
But it all stays the same

Nothing sending chills on my skin
No desire burning within
Every day, every color tasting like grey
Running round in circle
Ghosts without a reason to be
We wake up to the light that announced the new day
To find it all stays the same
And live with this phantom pain


7. SEAS OF GREY

A world that′s built on fiction
Buying our way with clinging morality
We fell asleep, drowned in our vanity
The failure of humanity kept growing within

We′re fallen in a circle
It's all the same yet different
Inside a cage we cannot sense
Here we stand without a name
We can't but fall in line, we′re digging further into the black
Perfect slavery

We just got everything, but it burnt away
We no longer care if there′s another day
Through the veil we fade away
No common sense to lead us back to live
We're captives
On the wilting meadows ages slowly sail
Sail away... sail away
On sullen waves we float in seas of grey

The loss of recognition
A million faces into the crowd they fade
Wake up and witness a new reality, relying on no morality
We sink in a choiceless haze
Of a dream that fell apart

We just got everything, but it burnt away
We no longer care if there′s another day
Through the veil we fade away
No common sense to lead us back to live
We're captives
On the wilting meadows ages slowly sail
Sail away... sail away
On sullen waves we float in seas of grey

We just got everything
Through the veil we fade away
We're captives
Sail away... sail away

We just got everything, but it burnt away
We no longer care if there′s another day
Through the veil we fade away
No common sense to lead us back to live
We're captives
On the wilting meadows ages slowly sail
Sail away... sail away
On sullen waves we float in seas of grey


8. I3

Out in the streets another night begins
They′re still here with me (shadows in my ears like humming)
Wired in my brain the ghosts they keep on calling me
Changing the fabric of reality

Lying in bed, I can hear three voices
Stuck in my head, they keep coming in and out of nowhere
(They're) always there, dressed in grief and malice
Pulling my strings and taking hold of me

Shards of a mirror: I see there are three of me
Still can′t find the one that I am meant to be
Haunting my life and my sleep
A strange war within as the world's so distant in my head

Savage and deep, this struggle from within
Still burns on my skin (yet a thousand shivers crawling)
I talk to myself, but every time I'm someone else
Suddenly changed my body′s chemistry

Once again I can hear these voices stuck in my head
They keep coming in and out of nowhere
(They′re) always there, dressed in grief and malice
Pulling my strings and taking hold of me

Shards of a mirror: I see there are three of me
Still can't find the one that I am meant to be
Haunting my life and my sleep
A strange war within
As the world′s so distant again
Split in my head, torn between opposed realities
A three faced fire still dwells inside of me

Give up the purpose, look at the world we made
Do as you're told, your every single day
Forget about whim: it doesn′t fit the plan
Just stand in line, the let it happen stand
Give up the purpose, look at the world we made
Do as you're told, your every single day
Forget about whim: it doesn′t fit the plan
Just stand in line, the let it happen stand

Fragments of self I perceive
I'm now coping with...
Can I handle all this?

Shards of a mirror: I see there are three of me
Still can't find the one that I am meant to be
Haunting my life and my sleep
A strange war within
As the world′s so distant again
Split in my head, torn between opposed realities
A three faced fire still dwells inside of me


9. THE FLAME INSIDE

Lost in the feels slowly twisting reality cast in my mind
Whatever dream you come from relight the flame inside of me
Deep inside of me

This thing inside slowly eating again
Your words... smile... they keep passing through my head
I can′t understand: new colors are raising from grey, day after day

There's something happening to me that I can′t explain
Feels like I've been wanting you forever
I close my eyes but your face never fades
You creep in my dreams at night, paint my visions

Got these chemicals all through my veins
Now I'm seeing red, not thinking straight

Carved on my skin
Everything tastes like memories floating around
A thousand visions coming in
Asleep... awake
Something down my chest now calling
Lost in the feels slowly twisting reality cast in my mind
Whatever dream you come from relight the flame inside of me
Deep inside of me

Beneath the light of a neon I dance
My heart beating still and I can′t forget the moment we met
I felt I was drifting away, a leaf in the rain

Your eyes still burning on me and I can′t pretend
The fever, silent and weird, I'm facing
Feels like a fire, a voice in my head
Screaming from deep inside, dying to be heard

Under a million stars I rove again
Hoping that you just could feel the same

Carved on my skin
Everything tastes like memories floating around
A thousand visions coming in
Asleep... Awake
Something down my chest now calling
Lost in the feels slowly twisting reality cast in my mind
Whatever dream you come from
Relight the flame inside of me

Carved on my skin
Everything tastes like memories floating around
A thousand visions coming in
Asleep... Awake
Something down my chest now calling
Lost in the feels slowly twisting reality cast in my mind
Whatever dream you come from
Relight the flame inside of me


10. LETTER TO THE LAST OF US

A dying breed lays down in slavery
Sleepwalking minds dream
Inside the world that sank in apathy
That grips everything

Some words now got no reason, no meaning
Emotionless heart was led to numbness
This hollow lie we still call "existence"
Is starving our soul every day

Open our eyes and face
The end of fairy tales
We′re falling like tears melt in the rain
Is there a way for us to keep the world living?
Hands of time
Now rewind
Now rewind

Back to that tragic day
We made the skies grey
And got every feeling swept away
'Cause embers still blaze in our veins
Burning ghosts of yesterday
Lying buried deep away (lying buried deep away)

We gotta deal with pride and vanity
No point in fighting
The million grey shades of humanity
We′re keeping within
There's white and black between every heartbeat
The candle defines yet breaks the darkness
Without a night
To wink at the sunset
No dawn would announce a new day

Open our eyes and face
The end of fairy tales
We're falling like tears melt in the rain
Is there a way for us to keep the world living?
Hands of time
Now rewind
Now rewind

Back to that tragic day
We made the skies grey
And got every feeling swept away
′Cause embers still blaze in our veins
Burning ghosts of yesterday
We left a life away

As time just slips through nights and days
Nameless, hollow heirs of no tomorrow
The laugh and tears we lost still dwell somewhere

Back to that tragic day
We made the skies grey
And wake up to be alive again

Open our eyes and face
The end of fairy tales
We′re falling like tears melt in the rain
Is there a way for us to keep the world living?
Hands of time
Now rewind
Now rewind

Back to that tragic day
We made the skies grey
And got every feeling swept away
'Cause embers still blaze in our veins
Burning ghosts of yesterday
Bring back our life again
