1. THE AWAKENING

Empty words, gestures and promises, as a part of the madman game.
Deception and extortion, the essential tools for control.
Spineless acts of betrayal, no matter the cost.

A tied noose around the neck.
Waiting for the final touch.

A distorted reality, lacking a flash of clarity.
Puppets in jester suites lead by the invisible hand.
There is no awakening.

A planted seed of deceit for the trusting fool.
The ignorant deserves nothing but to be drained.

A tied noose around the neck.
Waiting for the final touch.

A distorted reality, lacking a flash of clarity.
Puppets in jester suites lead by the invisible hand.
There is no awakening.


2. IN SOLITUDE

I woke up thinking, this could be the perfect day.
The perfect day for me to prove you wrong and blow your head away.
You wouldn't realize all the things you put me through
Now until my hands were filled with blood an tears.

Inside my head, inside my broken heart
I won't be missing you, I won't be suffering in solitude.
Inside my head, inside my broken heart
I won't be leaving you, I'm letting go of this hateburnt soul.

The pain will end eventually, the solution lasts for life
I've got you on your knees begging please.
You can take no more.
I tear your soul apart and feel your rising fear.
And when your lips are sealed I close my eyes and wipe those red blood tears.

Inside my head, inside my broken heart
I won't be missing you, I won't be suffering in solitude.
Inside my head, inside my broken heart
I won't be leaving you, I'm letting go of this hateburnt soul.


3. SCORCHED

One, one heartbeat away.
Today is the day, I'm no longer so scared.
No stepping back this time.

It is because we're not afraid.
It is because we're stronger than before, we are.
We are alone and in this war.
Know that they only build you up to tear you down.

Soaring like the flames through fire.
Like a bullet breaks the air, you are the force.
Now you know that at the end you'll make it.
Dry the tears you shed, hold your head high cause now your time has come.

I wish we'd always stood so tall.
We are this way and we're proud to not let them get on our way.
Face all your fears, say it is because we're not afraid.

It is because we're not afraid.
It is because we're stronger than before, we are.
We are alone and in this war.
Know that they only build you up to tear you down.

Soaring like the flames through fire.
Like a bullet breaks the air, you are the force.
Now you know that at the end you'll make it.
Dry the tears you shed, hold your head high cause now your time has come.


4. SOMEONE ELSE'S EYES

As the sun sets and the darkness takes over,
I feel the presence of the stranger.
The shadows in the valley and the figures in the morning mist.

I've been told it's just the sound of the wind,
but i can hear the desperate cry from the distance.

And every night is a new attempt to escape.
But somehow this fear grows deeper.
Every daybreak i see the dawn through someone else's eyes.

Trying to stay quiet, never will i walk.
Avoiding all the staring faces.

I've been told it's just the sound of the wind,
but i can hear the desperate cry from the distance.

And every night is a new attempt to escape.
But somehow this fear grows deeper.
Every daybreak i see the dawn through someone else's eyes.

Every glance on my torn body will catch a new scar.
Hoping to find a sanctuary i'll just hide and hold my breath.

And every night is a new attempt to escape.
But somehow this fear grows deeper.
Every daybreak i see the dawn through someone else's eyes.


5. WOUNDED

Pick up what's left of me.
Just pieces on the floor.
Remorse was in your eyes, but you kept living in lies.
We tried to live our lives.
So full of guilt.

I keep losing this game.
I'm still wounded by you.

I can feel your heart beat through my skin.
Wrapped in your arms i can feel your breath on my neck.
When i reach out to you, you step back and i only grab air.

Remind me why i'm in this state.
Why do i even care.

I keep losing this game.
I'm still wounded by you.

I opened up to you.
But now i'm bleeding dry.
I'll never be enough.
Won't lose myself again.

I keep losing this game.
I'm still wounded by you.


6. REDEMPTION AWAITS

The power of spiritual healing.
When people are left bleeding.
Waiting for salvation.
When infidels wither.
The crusade is upon us.
A merciless mission unfolds.
Devour the ones who dare to stay in the way.

The final redemption awaits the fierce.
But for whom are the sacrifices made?
Sacrifices made.

You'll be told what to believe and grow to trust all the lies.
No room for reason.
No time to think, to time to think.
Slay and be saved.
They say it's the only right way.
Just fragments laying on the ground, no mirror to reflect.
The dauntless are the ones to stay, ones to stay.

The final redemption awaits the fierce.
But for whom are the sacrifices made?
Sacrifices made.

You'll be told what to believe and grow to trust all the lies.
No room for reason.
No time to think, to time to think.


7. STILLNESS

Never been so low.
Unattainable depths.
Cursed with loneliness.
Don't it bring you down.

Such a blissful dream.
Such a lack of truth.
And how it makes me sick.
This stillness in your eyes.

Stepping down that road.
You've seen it all before.
Heavy on your heart.
With this thorn in your side.
Don't it bring you down.
I've overcome this.
I'm done, feeling numb.
I'll turn these thoughts off.
My lights go off tonight.

Such a blissful dream.
And how it makes me sick.
This stillness in your eyes.

You can't fix what is not broken.
I am torn but i'm not broken.
Smash against these walls but my strength doesn't fade.


8. CROWNED BY FOOLS

In this wicked time of confusion.
Affliction playing around.
Nothing but a blur of the past.
One-way to the abyss.
We are shattered to the bone.
Can anyone aid us anymore?
The shady one appearing.
This is what we need - Just what we need.

Little do they know.
Not being servants for the great.
Forgetting their judgment, only sealing their fate.

Offering the throne misguised and lost.
Blinded by despair.
Leader of the ludicrous, nothing to gain.
There's no glory in being crowned by fools.

Take this crown ad guide us.
Strengthen us to what we once where.
We have found our new king, dire and grim.

Little do they know.
Not being servants for the great.
Forgetting their judgment, only sealing their fate.

Offering the throne misguised and lost.
Blinded by despair.
Leader of the ludicrous, nothing to gain.
There's no glory in being crowned by fools.


9. NO WAY OUT

It looks like delirium.
Butit's a heart in ruins.
And beat by beat it's tearing him apart.
And his storm keeps rising high.
Swallows him although he fights.
He fights but no-one believes.

He can see them
(you know that he can see).
They never fade.

He says he feels the presence, but no-one sees the same.
Just moans and shrieks inside even through a grin.
Holding his chest hard, trying to breathe again it keeps closing in.
And the downfall has no end.
It's a nightmare with no way out.
He wants out.

He can see them
(you know that he can see).
They never fade.
And knowing in time
(and knowing in time).
People don't change.

No time to lose, no People don't change.
Can't prove it's real.
No time.
I, i want out (he screams).
I, i want out.
I, i want out.

He can see them
(you know that he can see).
They never fade.
And knowing in time
(and knowing in time).
People don't change.

No time to lose.


10. BE HERE NOW

This is not the end, no.
The burden you left here is simply too heavy to bear.
And when we meet again you're going down in despair.

Leave me now, be here now!
Breathe now, be here now!

Black loneliness, coldness and these walls of fear that you built
are shutting down my dirty mind,
imprinting visions of me locked in that grasp.

Breathe now, be here now!

I'll drown my soul in this water if my fate's in his hands.
His truth is stained and depraved, i wait for life.

These perverted thoughts have drained.
I have turned them now into strength.
Let me die, be born again!
I want to feel my breathing heart.

See it now, feel it now!
Breathe now, be here now!

I'll drown my soul in this water if my fate's in his hands.
His truth is stained and depraved, i wait for life.

Leave me now, be here now!

I'll drown my soul in this water if my fate's in his hands.
His truth is stained and depraved, i wait for life.
