1. BROKEN

Wandering somewhere between darkness and light,
between dream and reality, trough the cold night
I watch the last light of life fade away,
as on this stormy path, yet of calmness I stray
Frozen eternal I'm cursed with this blight
For I'll never again see the light!

Chorus :
Time will destroy me so slowly
Broken forever and ever
Never again will the sun rise on this sky
My wings of steel like a dry autumn leaf, I am broken!

Forces I sought to control now my friend,
like the abyssal fires it burns in my eyes
Now in my mind is but hatred and death,
but it matters no more for my destiny's set
Frozen eternal I'm cursed with this blight
For I'll never again see the light!

(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Chorus)


2. TALKING TO SILENCE

As I lay floating inside my mind's corners it comes to me
Darkness it falls when you least would forsee it,
upon your soul

On think again what you think is for real
Maybe in silence there happiness is...

Took us in our darkest hour, brought us down with it
Trapped in an eclipse of sense, oh I should have seen

All with freedom in our minds, yet we were it's slaves
Found such peace, still it was a constant war

Chorus :
Talking to silence
Talking to silence

There's no point, no journeys end,
not going anywhere
Just found ourselves under the spell,
no end of it I see

All with vengeance in our minds,
yet no one there to blame
Destination there but there's no roads to take

(Chorus) x2
(Solo)
(Chorus) x2

As I lay floating inside my mind's corners..


3. FOREVER

Like a child, with no troubles in mind
Young and wild, not a thing that I feared
Now winter's here,
in this darkness I look up and long for my freedom

Chorus :
Out of the ashes I'm rising anew
Drowning my sorrow and pain
Just like the wind and the stars will never die
Forever I'll stay here this way

We were one: The shadow, my fear and me
I was done, without a reason to be
But I broke free from the chains of the past
now I leave all the sadness

(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Chorus) x2


4. RISING SON

Lost in darkness, like a shadow there I was
Always searching for tomorrow yet to come

Never thought I would see again, see the light shine upon me

Can't you see me coming, Coming for You baby
Coming there to take you from the light
Can't you hear me calling, Calling for you baby
So you better take on to the night, I'm the rising son!

I was haunted, but now I broke free from the spell
But now it's your time to live the nightmare all through

Never thought I would run again, run free across the lands

Can't you see me coming, Coming for You baby
Coming there to take you from the light
Can't you hear me calling, Calling for you baby
So you better take on to the night, I'm the rising son!

Lost in darkness like a shadow
Always searching for tomorrow
Haunted, but i broke free
It's your time now
So look at you all through

Can't you see me coming, Coming for You baby
Coming there to take you from the light
Can't you hear me calling, Calling for you baby
So you better take on to the night,

Can't you see me coming
Can't you hear me calling
I'm the rising son!


5. THE RAVEN

Forests wrecked and cut,
flies the raven in the sky
He's got no home, no lonely hut,
he's forced to fly and fly

Shut your eyes, don't kill your dreams,
fly, trough the clouds above
Nothing is no longer what it seems,
turn all your anger to love

Chorus :
A lonely wolf was chased down there,
by people scared and poor
He's like you, he cannot share his life no more
Fly down raven to your friend,
leave destruction far behind
Fly and run until the end and finally ease your mind
Fly away like the raven

He was running free across the plains,
but now he's doomed to die
We're coming back you can be sure,
it's all just one big lie

Shut your eyes, don't kill your dreams,
fly trough the clouds above
Nothing is no longer what it seems,
turn all your anger to love

(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Chorus)


6. INDIAN

Maybe one day in a place without time, without space
I can look back and see that I am finally whole
Dying to undo the moment when all fell apart
Trying to fade out what's real it's not for a life

Chorus :
One brief moment brought agony blackened my heart
No light for me, no way out, I'm next in line
Never ever, in this life I'll never find peace
Digging my own grave, I'm shot down in flames

You were my guardian angel, you saved me all times
But angels will fall burning, all candles have burned out
There is one way to escape but worse things will await
I'll let him take me, eternity will pay my price

(Chorus)
(Solo)

Maybe one day in a place without time, without space
I can look back and see that I am finally whole
That's what I hoped but now I don't believe anymore
My wounds won't heal, I will bleed til the death of my soul

(Chorus)


7. LEARNING TO ROCK

Sitting here trying to cut off all of the things you say,
don't wanna listen to you yell!
All your words are like poison, tainting my very brain

Turning the sound up, I just wanna rock

Chorus :
We're learning to rock
- Higher and higher screaming
We're learning to rock
- Fueling up for metal
We're learning to rock
- Higher and higher shooting
We're learning to rock
- Heading for the stars

Trying like crazy to change me, everything I am,
having a fight with my inner demons
Well we'll see who'll be talking, I'm better of on my own!

Turning the sound up, I just wanna rock!

(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Chorus)

We're learning to rock
We're learning to rock


8. FLY AWAY

Looking over a million parts of my once called life
Shattered in infinity, cut out by own knife

The rain is coming,
stormclouds are gathering above
I know it's time for me to go

Chorus :
I fly away I am leaving this kingdom of lies
Through the storm,
passing hell all for my kingdom come
All for a life one day

If only I could take you with me,
but the past holds you enslaved
I have to let go of it or it will tear me apart

The rain is coming,
stormclouds are gathering above
I know it's time for me to go

(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Chorus)


9. MORTALS

Came to us when darkness had fallen
Took us up from we were crawli'n
Said that we would find what we sought for
But now where trapped in endless war

Promises were made out of lies
Anguish, fear and dread in our minds

Chorus :
Mortals, But you'll never take our souls away
We are Mortals, But you'll never take our hearts away

Thought that we were free still we were slaves
Sanity was lost into madness
Blinded by the promise of our hopes
We couldn't see that hell is what we chose

Destruction you have brought before our eyes
Will one day be upon your kind

(Chorus) x1
(Solo)

Promises were made out of lies
Anguish, fear and dread in our minds
Destruction you have brought before our eyes
Will one day be upon your kind

(Chorus) x2
(Solo)


10. MISERIA

Do you remember those days of old times?
The days were so golden and all shining bright

Now those days are gone, now I'm here all alone
Alone, oh miseria

The sun was so shining but rain came one day
The dark came so fast and now it's here to stay

Now this is my life in this cold emptiness
Empty, oh miseria

Chorus :
Take me away
Take me back to when life was liveable
I can't stay
In this hell, oh miseria

Do you remember that day when all died?
I'd give my everything just for it's change

But this is the end I can't stand all this pain
The pain, oh miseria

(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Chorus) x2
