1. DESTROYED

I did my best to please you
But my best was never good enough
Somehow you're only able to see
All I am not

Did you ever look behind
Aren't you afraid of the pieces you'll find
I have failed you
But you have failed me too

It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified

It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
In your life why didn't you ever try

I close my eyes as I walk the thin line between love and hate
For the person with the same blood in his veins

You show no regrets
About all the things you did or said
I have failed you
But believe me you failed me too

It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified

It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
In your life why didn't you ever try

It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified

It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified


2. BLUE EYES:

Blue eyes just smile to the world
Full of dreams and with fascination
Too soon she saw that her hands were chained and pulled without any freedom

It's always the same, they fear no way out
I can not break it
I can't take it no more

It's burning me up inside
Lost all my tears, can't cry
No reason, no meaning
Just hatred
No matter how hard I try
You fear the beast inside
It's growing, it's waiting
Just to hurt you

This heart was hurt by the lights
And I see your world that tries to denies
Now everything that I love has died or has been shattered to pieces

It's always the same, they fear no way out
I can not break it
I can take it no more

It's burning me up inside
Lost all my tears, can't cry
No reason, no meaning
Just hatred
No matter how hard I try
You fear the beast inside
It's growing, it's waiting
Just to hurt you

Can't you see their eyes, what lies inside
They've given up, they no longer shine
Too soon they'll close with one last cry
Before they turn to light

It's burning me up inside
Lost all my tears, can't cry
No reason, no meaning
Just hatred
No matter how hard I try
You fear the beast inside
It's growing, it's waiting
Just to hurt you


3. SOUNDS OF FREEDOM:

Your call is coming
I'm dreaming away
For what lies hidden
It needs to be found

Sounds of freedom make me wanna try

When the ghosts are found
They will lead us to tomorrow
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try

Voices forgotten
I hear them close by
Ghosts from the past I can see through their eyes
Are these the ancestors leaving me signs?

Sounds of freedom make me wanna try

When the ghosts are found
They will lead us to tomorrow
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try

The sounds, they are all around
Forces start moving out
Taking sides, though there's so much
That I need to know
And soon it will be shown

Sounds of freedom make me wanna try

When the ghosts are found
They will lead us to tomorrow
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try

When the ghosts are found, they will lead us to tomorrow
When the ghosts are found, they will lead us to tomorrow

If we could restart how it was before tomorrow.


4. JANE DOE

Why, you just won't leave my mind
Was this the only way
I couldn't let you stay

Run away, hide away
the secrets in your mind
Sacrificed just her life
for a higher love

No matter how many stones you put inside
She always keeps on floating in your mind
With every turn of your head you see her face again
until the end, over and over again

Why, you just won't leave my mind
Was this the only way
I couldn't let you stay

Told the truth she laughed at you
Something snapped inside
She had to go or they would know
all you tried to hide

The sins of your life are now catching up with you.
You can't stay ahead, there's nothing you can do
With every turn of your head you see her face again
until the end, over and over again

Why, you just won't leave my mind
Was this the only way
I couldn't let you stay

Why, you just won't leave my mind
Was this the only way
I couldn't let you stay


5. SAY MY NAME

Say my name
So I will know you're back, you're here again
For a while
Oh let us share
The memories that only we can share
Together

Tell me about
The days before I was born
How we were as children

You touch my hand
These colours come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind to be with you again
We breathe the air
Do you remember how you used to touch my hand
You're not aware
Your hands keep still
You just don't know that I am here

It hurts too much
I pray now that soon you'll release
To where you belong

You touch my hand
These colours come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind to be with you again
Please say my name
Remember who I am
You will find me in the world of yesterday
You drift away again
Too far from where I am
When you ask me who I am

Say my name
These colours come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind to be with you again

Say my name


6. TOWARDS THE END

The turn against
The world we know
Now our destiny
Will be decided
We have to send our brothers in arms
With pain in our heart
We watch them go
Will they return?

Truth is we have no choice
We'll try to shield those we can
No better world
Let this end
Mothers cry
Our boys die
But we'll stand 'til the end


7. THE LAST TIME:

For so long I've tried.
Could not close my eyes.
When you became a outcast in this life.

Again and again I try
to understand the demons inside your head,
but the truth is you love them to death.

Now, I know it's the last time I have tried
to lift you up to make you fight.
Nothing is ever easy in life.
I can't change it if you don't have the will deep inside.

I have been blind to how you justify
everything that you've wasted in this life.

Got lost in the illusion,
I'd find a solution for the demons in your head,
but the truth is you love them to death.

Now, I know it's the last time I have tried
to lift you up to make you fight.
Nothing is ever easy in life.
I can't change it if you don't have the will deep inside.

You can blame and you can hide
behind what is wrong and what is right.
Life is the choices we make
I hope you'll awake before it's too late.

Now, I know it's the last time I have tried
to lift you up to make you fight.
Nothing is ever easy in life.
I can't change it if you don't have the will deep inside.


8. ICE QUEEN

When leaves have fallen
And skies turned into grey
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide for her freezing hell

On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better belief it

When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds you


Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world

She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of a new day


9. THE CROSS:

Nothing's ever changed, you still turn away
You've washed your hands, you've made that all too clear
You just keep on living this lie

You refuse to see, you're denying me
the cross I bear but you don't seem to care
Even Judas knew he had lied

I keep wondering why
I'm still calling your name through my tears

Why have you waited to embrace me my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why
I'm still calling your name my dear

I'm sorry if you can't stand the naked truth
All you see is how you want it to be
So you keep on living your life

Release me from this cross after all these years
Oh call my name and help me with this weight
Even though it comes far too late

I keep wondering why
I'm still calling your name through my tears

Why have you waited to embrace me my dear
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name
and I wonder, oh I wonder ...

In my heart I still hope you will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call

Why? Why?

Why have you waited to embrace me my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name
and I wonder, oh I wonder ...

In my heart I still hope you will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call


10. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE:

Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices
than to harm the one I love

What have you done now!

I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
I know, should stop believing
I know, there's no retrieving
It's over now, what have you done?

What have you done now!

I , I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away ...oh
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you

What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!

Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to?
Cause you have turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I don't feel
It's over now
What you done?

What have you done now!

I , I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away...oh What have you done now!
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you

What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!
What have you done now, What have you done?...

I will not fall, won't let it go
We will be free when it ends

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away ...oh What have you done now!
Why, why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us, between me and you

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away ...oh What have you done now!
Why, why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us, between me and you


11. STAND MY GROUND

I can see
When you stay low nothing happens
Does it feel right?
Late at night
Things I thought I put behind me
Haunt my mind

I just know there's no escape now
Once it sets it's eyes on you
But I won't run, have to stare it in the eye

Chorus:
Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I've got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it
Someone else will stand my ground

It's all around, getting stronger
Coming closer, into my world
I can feel that it's time for me to face it
Can I take it?

Though this might just be the ending
Of the life I held so dear
But I won't run
There's no turning back from here

Repeat chorus

All I know for sure is I'm trying
I will always stand my ground

Stand my ground, I won't give in
I won't give up, no more denying
I've got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it
Someone else will stand my ground
I won't give in, no more denying
I've got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it
Someone else will stand my ground

Pale

The world seems not the same
Though I know nothing has changed
It's all my state of mind
I can't leave it all behind
I have to stand up to be stronger

Chorus:
I have to try to break free
From the thoughts in my mind
Use the time that I have
I can't say goodbye
Have to make it right
Have to fight, cause I know
In the end it's worthwhile
That the pain I feel slowly fades away
It will be alright

I know, should realise
Time is precious, it is worthwhile
Despite how I feel inside
Have to trust it will be alright
Have to stand up to be stronger

Repeat chorus

Oh this night is too long
I have no strength to go on
No more pain, I'm floating away
Through the mist I see the face
Of an angel, who calls my name
I remember you're the reason I have to stay

Repeat chorus


12. ICE QUEEN

When leaves have fallen
And skies turned into grey
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide for her freezing hell

On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better belief it

When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds you


Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world

She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of a new day


13. AQUARIUS

I hear your whispers
Break the silence and it calms me down
Your taste on my lips
Your salty kisses

They say I'm seeking out the danger
That one day you won't let me go
I'll drown, you'll take me down

Chorus:
I need you Aquarius
enchanted I will have to stay
I feel you Aquarius
Cause you the sea set me free
You call to me Aquarius

You call to me, you set me free

I relinquish to your powers
From your grasp, I just can't hide
I missed the danger I had to conquer
You made me feel alive

They say I have to be aware
That one day you won't let me go
I'll drown, you'll take me down

Repeat chorus

I long for you Aquarius
I need to be with you again
I fear you Aquarius
My destiny till the end

Repeat chorus


14. SEE WHO I AM

Is it true what they say
Are we too blind to find a way?
Fear of the unknown clouds our hearts today
Come into my world
See through my eyes
Try to understand
Don´t want to lose what we have

We´ve been dreaming
But who can deny
It´s the best way of living
Between the truth and the lies

Chorus:
See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way
The world is in our hands
This is not the end

Fear is withering the soul
At the point of no return
We must be the change
We wish to see
I'll come into your world
See through your eyes
I'll try to understand
Before we lose what we have

We just can't stop believing
Because we have to try
We can rise above
Their truth and their lies

Repeat chorus

I hear their silence
Preaching my blame
Will our strength remain
If their power reigns

Repeat chorus


15. CAGED

These are the darkest clouds
To have surrounded me
Now I find my self alone caught in a cage
There's no flower to be found in here
Not withering
Or pale to me
Everyone with a friendly face
Seems to hide some secret inside

He told me he loved me
While he laughed in my face
He just led me astray
He took my virtue
I feel so cold inside
Sorrow has frozen my mind

My heart is covered
With thoughts entangled
How could it ever have felt so real?
Is there a place more lonely than I feel within?
Could I have seen?
Could I have known?
I just took it as the truth
Everyone with a friendly face
Seems to hide some secret inside

Always there to remind me
To keep me from believing
That someone might be there
Who'll free me and never ever leave me


16. DECEIVER OF FOOLS

He told the tale so many times
About the dream not meant to be
In a world of the free
He plays with your mind
As faith for the future faded fast
He grows strong with their displeasure
It sets him free

Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules again

He feeds on fear
Poisons the truth
To gain their faith
To lead the way
To a world of decay
He rules your heart
He will sell your soul to the grave
No hesitation he'll make
He belongs to the dark


Please awake
And see the truth
He can only be
If you believe what he tells you
Remember who you are
What you stand for
And there will always be a way

In my heart there is a place
In my heart there is a trace
Of a small fire burning
A sheltering ray shines through this night
Although it 's small, it's bright
But darkness is lurking

He will sell your soul to bitterness and cold
Fear him

Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
Shall he rule again?
