1. THE FEVERISH ALLIANCE

Standing tall, denied the fall
All the lies repeat themselves
Embrace the challenge, make it your vengeance
The fate is his to seal

Now he rises from the sulphur
To regain his pride, to expose the masquerade
It takes more than hatred to destroy a man
A lesson told, let the truth unfold

Come and join the masquerade
Are you the predator or are you the prey?
Come and join the masquerade
Are you serious or is it just a game you play?

Break through the mask of sin
It's an act, a senseless play you're in
Where betrayal leads to the fall
Be true, face all the sin
There's a part unknown
The truth untold
In might strike back twice as hard

Deceives engaged to swollen heart
We will exterminate, then create
Damnation decides your place
Into a false direction and tears you apart

Come and join the masquerade
Are you the predator or are you the prey?
Come and join the masquerade
Are you serious or is it just a game you play?

Break through the mask of sin
It's an act, a senseless play you're in
Where betrayal leads to the fall
Be true, face all the sin
There's a part unknown
The truth untold
In might strike back twice as hard


2. ONCE KISSED BY THE SERPENT (TWICE BITTEN BY TRUTH)

I could be wrong...
I could be gone...

Who are you to call yourself a friend of mine
When you choose to ignore all the signs
When even enemies turned and stuck out their hands
You decided against and burned your last chance

Why did it have to take this long
To realize that bastards are gone
Why could you not keep up the pace
Rather than to succumb to disgrace

Strengthen your colours
And show your true face

Why did it have to take this long...

[Chorus:]
Draw me down until I hit the ground
Try to make me weak and consume my peace
Satisfy all your needs, feel the great relief

Strengthen your colours
And show your true face

Why did it have to take this long...

[Chorus:]
Draw me down until I hit the ground
Try to make me weak and consume my peace
Satisfy all your needs, feel the great relief
So you may hold me down until I nearly drown
Break my strength and might, though it comes around
There's no place to be for you to feel free


3. BLOODSTAINED ENDURANCE

Well, it turns out to be
a simple behavior of ignorant disloyalty
Now tell me!

Protest all life in lack of connection
Challenge the soul on the eve of despair
I might be black from grief yet I am white at heart
My bloodstained endurance will set me apart

[Chorus:]
Deception grows and malice continues
Descend with pride, to pleasure your needs
Deny your thoughts, unbreakable silence
You're nothing more...
A pitiful, ignorant, devious, meaningless fool

Feel your fatal deceit
The consequence rages straight through your face of disgrace
Just take it!

Protest all life...

[Chorus:]
Deception grows and malice continues
Descend with pride, to pleasure your needs
Deny your thoughts, unbreakable silence
You're nothing more...
A pitiful, ignorant, devious, meaningless fool


4. TRIUMPHANT GLEAM

It all became history
Rose from dark so graceful
But nothing here is what it seems
It is out of control and disaster unfolds

Voice your ignorance
I am built to take it
Sweet your prejudice
I was born to make it
Spread your lies all across the world
I watch it all with a grin
Hatred heals in all it's forms
Fear us now as our forces storm

[Chorus:]
Inside this world of liberty
There's an existence
Beyond diversity exceed
Let me invite you
Invite you to this fragile world
'Cause I wanted you to see

Scream your own disgust
You are used to take it
Put forth another weak attempt
and I'll be sure to break it
Feel the blood from yesterday
steal your remaining light
Wake up to the smell of wrath and might
We're chasing further heights

[Chorus:]
Inside this world of liberty
There's an existence
Beyond diversity exceed
Let me invite you
Invite you to this fragile world
'Cause I wanted you to see


5. IN THE VALLEY OF ASHES

Take me to your secret place
Reveal all hidden tears that fell
Along the way
Open up, show me you face
Behind that mask of stone you made
It's time to change

[Chorus:]
We cherish what we built
and buried what was lost
We said our goodbyes to the ones we loved
It's time to move on
I know that you are tired
I know that you are drained
Wipe the tears from your face and shine with grace
Our lives will flourish and prosper yet again
Our time is now
Celebrate as horns of triumph sounds
Here in the valley of ashes we'll build new dreams

Tell the story without frames
Don't leave yourself alone again
in burning shame
As the words stars to take shape
Your heart is near the breaking point
In search of truth

Filth. Soiled.
Tons and tons of human waste

Filth. Soiled.
Laid to rest

[Chorus:]
We cherish what we built
and buried what was lost
We said our goodbyes to the ones we loved
It's time to move on
I know that you are tired
I know that you are drained
Wipe the tears from your face and shine with grace
Our lives will flourish and prosper yet again
Our time is now
Celebrate as horns of triumph sounds
Here in the valley of ashes we'll build new dreams


6. A STORM AT WILL

Wind of life set me free
Lift me from this place and fly with me
Giver of hope and dreams
Cut my wings and crash me to the sea

[Chorus:]
Be a storm at will
Move the soil, stir the sea
Through fields of fire
You'll never break me

To await your destiny
With open arms is a game of chance you fools
Paint your eyes and grin your teeth
Cowards in disguise still all you are to me

[Chorus:]
Be a storm at will
Move the soil, stir the sea
Through fields of fire
You'll never break me

Leave your broken dreams
alone in despair
Stay in that place
and I will be here


7. TAKE AIM.RECLAIM.PREVAIL

Filthy tongues and angry souls
clench their fists in contempt
Trying hard do stay afloat in a well of bitterness

All this pitiful desperation
makes me but victorious, glorious
While their lungs got filled
my heart beat still
and I hear from deep within

Take aim. Reclaim. Prevail.

[Chorus:]
Step back and face the loss
Unarmed and left behind those enemy lines
Strip down to the core
So haunted by the vicious, diabolical minds

Filthy tongues and angry souls
clench their fists in contempt
Trying hart to stay afloat in a well of bitterness

You cannot crush me anymore

[Chorus:]
Step back and face the loss
Unarmed and left behind those enemy lines
Strip down to the core
So haunted by the vicious, diabolical minds

My soul is fading
and nothing is the same
There are tears and suffering
and lots of pain

[Chorus:]
Step back and face the loss
Unarmed and left behind those enemy lines
Strip down to the core
So haunted by the vicious, diabolical minds


8. THE DESPERATION CORRIDORS

Find a way to catch you while you fall
Leave the burden here, walk further on
Feel no shame or guilt
Nothing at all
Deceive the pain and I will seal the door

[Chorus:]
I will let these tears wash away
Let these tears wash away
What remains of anguish and pain

I still fall, I'm still crawling
Will you keep me from anguish and pain

I will let these tears wash away
Let these tears wash away
what is left of your shame and despair

I still fall, I'm still crawling
Will you keep me from anguish and pain

Sail your way now, leave the shore
An open sea is not your enemy
Greet the storm with an open heart
I'll guide your path if you get lost in the dark

[Chorus:]
I will let these tears wash away
Let these tears wash away
What remains of anguish and pain


9. FAREWELL TO SANITY

And shadows embraced me and claimed my heart
Into a fearful story of dark
A soul to forever be torn apart

I'll make your mind into my insanity slave

Carried away by winds of betrayal
I'll lock you up, chain you to aspects of
Chaos, malice and death

[Chorus:]
Can you hear me scream?
Can you see me bleed?
I'm still falling
I'm still crawling

As your heartbeat faded, in panic breath
Brutal reflections in hysterical ways
A view of desperation is nailed to your face
I hide and disappear, just to haunt you once again

[Chorus:]
Can you hear me scream?
Can you see me bleed?
I'm still falling
I'm still crawling
Please release me
You are nothing to save
Will you leave me
You are lost in yourself
Please heal me

While your eyes are still open
Hypnotized by fear
I'll swaddle your slowly into my crib of pain
To a universe of everlasting immortal dark
Your soul I've claimed
Now it's mine to tear apart

You made me into your own insanity slave
of chaos, malice and death

Carried away by winds of betrayal

(Chorus)


10. DEAD END GAZE

Trapped inside a swollen haze
Looking out, a dead end gaze
Meet the future, cold and bleak
Your own actions determine directions


[Chorus:]
Sealed with exposed words in a truthful design
Enter the image of an open mind
In a time for destinations
An emotional ride
Reborn construction built by honor and pride

Time to pass the tension on
Take back my life before I'm gone
Cease the future, warm and bright
My own actions determine directions

[Chorus:]
Sealed with exposed words in a truthful design
Enter the image of an open mind
In a time for destinations
An emotional ride
Reborn construction built by honor and pride


11. FAITH COMES KNOCKING

Embraced by lies too many times
In the past I have stalked the shadows
Led by both misery and strength
Even still sought refuge from myself

[Chorus:]
Leave the past behind as faith comes to greet you Continue
Take a step towards a prosperous life
There's no time to waste
The future is still with you
Returns to the place where dreams completely come to life

How many chapters of self contempt
must rise and surface violently
How many dreams must disappear
and shatter straight in front of me

[Chorus:]
Leave the past behind as faith comes to greet you Continue
Take a step towards a prosperous life
There's no time to waste
The future is still with you
Returns to the place where dreams completely come to life

How many chapters of self contempt
must rise and surface violently
How many dreams must disappear
and shatter straight in front of me

I am still stuck inside this box with you
We used to be many but now we're only two
The problem is that I'm so tired of you
I'm sorry to say, now it's goodbye to you
