Lyrics


1. ...INTRO

I'm here all alone
What kind of place is this and who are they?
I feel alienated
Among these figures, are they even human?

Born to live
I'm about to leave you

You are here but not alone
Delirium?


2. EXIT

Fire kindled by anger
You cannot control me anymore
What you did was out of order
Watch me as I burn the family tree

She has become
A mismatch in society
Dancing all alone
She's at the crossroad of her life
I guess she is drawn to the dark side of the moon

As I wrap it up, it's time to fly, what if he catches me
Feather light footsteps on the wooden floors
As I unlock the door
A sense of guilt I never felt before

She has become a self-fulfilling prophecy
Breaking out of her own
She's at the crossroads of her life
I guess she is drawn to the dark side of the moon

Let's hope for a miracle to suddenly come along
Facing the world, all alone
Her destiny

What lies ahead is a path without a home
The unforgiving roads

Mind set to survival
In my heart I know where I belong
it's a place I've been drawn to forever
A bittersweet emotion as we ride into the night lights

Another day has gone by
another moonlit night
I would do whatever it takes
to see you home again


3. IN THE HANDS OF A GOD

Now she's taken her own way, taking matters in own hands
Will she ever come back?
One that fateful night, something opened up my eyes

I was no friend, I was a phantom, from down below
Can somebody please help me, can't stand this picture of myself

This is not the way I wanted this to be

All we ever had is now in the hands of a God
(I cease to live)
If only I could turn back time, and be there

I reach out my hand
Can you forgive me?
I have changed my ways
I swear on my soul

This is not the way I wanted this to be

All we ever had is now in the hands of a God
(I cease to live)
If only I could turn back time, and be there

I was no friend, I was a phantom, from down below
Can somebody please help me, can't stand this picture of myself

This is not the way I wanted this to be

All we ever had is now in the hands of a God
(I cease to live)
If only I could turn back time

My love for you is eternal
Flesh and blood, you're a part of my soul
Revelation came too late this time
So here I am all alone
This is not the way I wanted this to be


4. THE PAIN I COLLECTED

Her friends they never knew
A story was untold
This came out of nowhere

And so if I tell you the truth
Will you be there, or will you leave me?

(Speak the truth)
I'm so afraid to not be accepted
(This is the point of no return)

They said
Become the one
(We're on your side)
Don't become your own enemy
The pain I collected
This is where I belong and this is my home

Her friends they pulled her through
That moment when she broke
The weight of the world on her back was lifted

(Speak the truth)
I'm so afraid to not be accepted
(This is the point of no return)

They said
Become the one
(We're on your side)
Don't become your own enemy
The pain I collected
This is where I belong and this is my home


5. RIVEN

To forgive? Father, I don't know what to do
Night after night, then took a part out of my life
Will I find my way?
I've been to hell and beyond
It's the story of my life
Free me from old times

There's a thorn in your heart
You got something on your mind
I see it from afar, what's going onh?

Tey were the sun, they were the moon to me
But there was too much profanities
I left a broken home

Beneath the shell, there is a riven soul
You read life, like a comic
You can't run for the rest of your life
Some may look down on you
Some people in life will adore you

Deliver me from evil
Night after night, they took a part out of my life
Will I find my way?
I've been to hell and beyond
It's a story of my life

Deliver them from evil
Time after time they took apart out of my life
Can we find a way?
I've been to hell and beyond
It's the story of my life
Help me calm down, erase my memories


6. C'EST LA VIE

Awakened by a song from the past
That melody is tearing you apart
A kind of obsession is calling out for me
Let's get real and never be apart

You're out, looking for the answer
That never will arrive
Can this be my last revelation?

I cannot take this pain, I cannot make a remedy
You're a part of my entity
Feed me with gold

Is this the end?
Are we failing?
Reach for the sky as you spiral down to a void
C'est la vie
it may not be there
Open your eyes, the walls are caving in on you
Love will conquer all

Was it make-believe?
It's hard to understand
That melody is what you used to sing for me
A kind of obsession was calling out for me
Let's get real and never be apart

C'est la vie
It may not be there
Open your eyes, the walls are caving in on you
Love will conquer all
I said love will conquer all


7. THE EYE IN THE SKY

We write down the memory lane
Wil our dreams come alive?

We had the best of times
We were on a roll back then
Simply put, on fire
They could never catch us
'Cause you and I were unbeatable
United as one

We ride down the memory lane
Will our dreams come alive?

The eye in the sky is watching over us
Don't break the system, you will fail
Why this anger
Why do we fight
When we both know
That life is beautiful

We came to a hole
We both fell into
A dark abyss where demons
Were coming after us
They could never catch us
'Cause you and I were unbeatable
United as one

We ride down the memory lane
Will our dreams come alive?

The eye in the sky is watching over us
Don't break the system, you will fail
Why this anger
Why do we fight
When we both know
That life is beautiful

I can sense that someone is near
There's an eye up in the sky
They are watching every move you make

The eye in the sky is watching over us all
The eye in the sky is watching over us
Don't break the system, you will fail
The eye in the sky is watching over us
Don't break the system, you will fail


8. ARRHYTHMIA

One down, this second one I'll heed
This lust, Persephone, I'm close but out of reach

No one can hear the arrhythmia of my heart
No more treatments
I'd rather burn, I'd rather burn alive

This fever inside, my inside is turning
Outside my careless affection flows

Shout from the tower of love
Sent from above, sent to deceive them
This is what you are, this is where you belong
Close but still so far
No one can hear the arrhythmia of my heart
No more treatments
I'd rather burn, I'd rather burn alive

This fever inside, my inside is turning
Outside my careless affection flows

Shout from the tower of love
Sent from above, sent to deceive them
This is what you are, this is where you belong
Shout from the tower of love
Sent from above, sent to deceive them
This is what you are, this is where you belong
Close but still so far


9. IN MY WILL

I've been drifting in an open sea
I fear there is no path for me
I'm in desperate need to be drawn from black to blue

I can promise you one thing in my will
I will give you everything

A falling leaf I am
I seek the other side
Now they know who you are
(The angels are waiting)
My mind is drowning, I'm out of air
Will I reach the other side?
Is this for real or am I dreaming?

If my morning arrives
And my heart still is beating
Will I ever see
A different black of blue

I can promise you one thing in my will
I will give you everything

A falling leaf I am
I seek the other side
Now they know who you are
(The bridges are burning)
My mind is drowning, I'm out of air
Will I reach the other side?
Is this for real or am I dreaming?

I can promise you one thing in my will
I will leave you ...nothing


10. UNAFFECTED LOVE

Eyes closed, I drift away
And I dream about the stars
Ducking rwality
Here and now, no other place I'd rather be
As I hold you in my arms, this is love

Blood is thicker than water
Same kind of eyes
As I'm falling
You arise

Love got me blinded, I felt so alive
Oh, days are getting colder
Stay here for a while?

I've been a drifter and my heart was turned to stone
But you, you are a diamonds in the rough

My heart was broken, I was dying
You can make it right
You can make it right

Blood is thicker than water
Same kind of eyes
As I'm falling
You arise

Eyes closed, I drift away
And I dream about the stars
Facing reality
Here and now, no other place I'd rather be
As I hold you in my arms, this is love

Now we both drift away
Life is all about to turn
In this humble home
In my arms a tiny little miracle
As I hold you in my arms
I feel true unaffected love!
