The Truth 04:44
lyrics

I woke up and felt like out of place beside me just an empty space A thousand dreams are no act of grace Chasing memories of your face All my sentiments decay Thought a Word would matter Tell me, tell me, that isn’t true No more lies can get me through Although my heart will shatter Tell me, tell me, that it’s true The Truth Why did you leave without a last farewell? That sudden message hurt like hell So many words I couldn’t even tell Your death is creeping through my cells All my sentiments decay Thought a Word would matter Tell me, tell me, that isn’t true No more lies can get me through Although my heart will shatter Tell me, tell me, that it’s true You promised me so many things That we’d belong together But now you’re gone and got your wings Not even lost a feather Yet petrified I stand alone Into the wreckage of myself Your last remain is just a stone And pointless pictures on the shelf The Truth All my sentiments decay Thought a Word would matter Tell me, tell me, that isn’t true No more lies can get me through Although my heart will shatter Tell me, tell me, that it’s true All my sentiments decay Thought a Word would matter Tell me, tell me, that isn’t true No more lies can get me through Although my heart will shatter Tell me, tell me, that it’s true

Not yet the time for you to change Not yet the time to re-arrange The day is still to come to throw Your burden off your shoulders Darkness is the place to breed Take your time and try to feed Take your shelter in your loneliness You’re different - You are different You will overshine the brightest suns Exploding to a bitter end You’re different - You are different You will overshine the brightest suns Exploding to a bitter, bitter end - Different Look around and be aware There are things no one could dare Toss away the fear and pride That binds you to the narrow kind The time will come a man must do What a man must do for true There will be no doubt about You’re different - You are different You will overshine the brightest suns Exploding to a bitter end You’re different - You are different You will overshine the brightest suns Exploding to a bitter, better end - Different You watched your fire going out But there is still a spark, no doubt You will light that love that burned in you And burn the hatred to the ground Every virtue has its vice It’s told that god doesn’t play the dice There’s nothing to despise You’re different - You are different You will overshine the brightest suns Exploding to a bitter end You’re different - You are different You will overshine the brightest suns Exploding to a bitter, bitter end Different – Different

Your book was blank and open Welcome to this World Write your path upon its pages A chance to make sense of this Darkened Ignorance And as you bloomed into yourself Life’s colors Mesmerized And as you walked your golden path The walls were made of air But as you opened your mind Doors began to close Sun gave way to rain and doubt then grew The colored ink you wrote in Turned a morbid shade And your memories will fade Dark words all I read Spawn that poison seed and pages Torn in rage Lay burning on the stage But I’ll Lift you from the floor Find that open door Where you will find your way And chase the break of day These Dark words These Dark Words - Dark Words - Those Dark Words And now this chapter ends Dare I turn the Page? Dark words all I read Spawn that poison seed and pages Torn in rage Lay burning on the stage But I’ll Lift you from the floor Find that open door Where you will find your way And chase the break of day These Dark words will fall Will you find yourself within that book Welcome to this World that lied to you. And chase the break of day

No bill of rights when you were thrown into this universe Black turns to white and all the colors Start to hurt your brain One hundred different words to say One thousand different games to play One million good, one million wrong, until you’re gone We’re struggling, we’re tumbling We took this road as straight as we could go We’re bleeding time, we’re losing aim And still we fear that someone passes by Without headlights through the blackened night No judgement day when you are kicked out of this universe Blue turns to black and colors then blend into memories One hundred minds that you have met One thousand stones that you have set One million right, one million wrong, now you are gone We’re struggling, we’re tumbling We took this road as straight as we could go We’re bleeding time, we’re losing aim And still we fear that someone passes by Without headlights through the blackened night Hit the breaks now - end’s just a cast away Loose direction - just take a look and stay Let go - and all the scenery will multiply Cruising slow - will get you more out of your way We’re struggling, we’re tumbling We took this road as straight as we could go We’re bleeding time, we’re losing aim And still we fear that someone passes by We’re struggling, we’re tumbling We took this road as straight as we could go We’re bleeding time, we’re losing aim And still we fear that someone passes by Without headlights through the blackened night

Bittersweet Revenge 04:59
lyrics

Nameless pain in my head Luring me to enter the light Flashing memories to Dead Heart’s desire to lose sight If ache blurred by cruelty And social abyss catches me A collar sewn by misery Like disturbed soulmates in company The question that engaged me rough Could satisfy my soul enough Earned carnage was arranged Not legally, but been avenged I see your vitalities descent It is my Bittersweet Revenge Necessity knows no law Finally raised the devil’s claw Bowles remaining on the saw No more sound from your nasty jaw The question that engaged me rough Could satisfy my soul enough Earned carnage was arranged Not legally, but been avenged See your vitalities descent It is my Bittersweet Revenge My Bittersweet Revenge Emotions awake strangely warped The smile exclusively enforced Secret longings in a silence concealed Yearning that my mind would be healed The question that engaged me rough Could satisfy my soul enough Earned carnage was arranged Not legally, but been avenged See your vitalities descent It is my Bittersweet Revenge

No one remembers when you came to this town In fact no one remembers your name They should be alerted, they should be afraid But there’s no one on this earth that you can’t tame You walk wherever you choose to And Everybody seems to’ve met you before You’re talking so sweet. you got such a charming smile Not only men - longing for more You look like an angel but you’ve got a wicked smile The devil creates a thing like you only once in a while Since you walk on this earth a star is missing from the sky You are the demon with the flaming vortex eyes A late night party and you are moving Straight into everyone’s attention You are hungry tonight so you are picking a couple They cannot resist the magic tension There is a glow around you, and they either admire Or hate you - There’s nothing in-between They are looking for fun but get something different So evil, so dirty and so mean, and so mean, and so mean Your skin looks like silk but your touch melts steel I don’t believe there’s anything you really feel Beat them up - hang them out to dry You are the devil with the stone-cold eyes You look like an angel but you’ve got a wicked smile The devil creates a thing like you only once in a while Since you walk on this earth a star is missing from the sky You are the demon with the flaming vortex eyes The night is over, dark surrenders to the light You walk down the streets alone Young man whistles at you That poor fool doesn’t seem to know what’s all over town Uhhh - No one at your side, another missing soul Now nothing more than power in your veins As you slowly turn around, your lips begin to smile And the vortex in your eyes starts to spin again Another number of men – and some women too Made the mistake they fell in love with you You swallowed their souls and tell pack of lies You are the woman with the vortex eyes You look like an angel but you’ve got a wicked smile The devil creates a thing like you only once in a while Since you walk on this earth a star is missing from the sky You are the demon with the flaming vortex eyes

Last to Know 05:03
lyrics

Wanderlust will take you far away To places they call home Take your fears and sorrows and let ’em die Different colors, different ways of life but in the end mankind Save love and respect - don’t let it die Oh Supremacy - just illusion No moral high ground Joining hands are like a harbour in the tempest You’re the last to know Every word is like a thunder when there’s silence In the afterglow - The Last to Know It seems so easy to judge wrong from right Regarded from your sight Take your prejudices and let ’em die Stripped by all trinkets only thoughts remain The essence to confine If there’s consent don’t let it die Joining hands are like a harbour in the tempest You’re the Last to Know Every word is like a thunder when there’s silence Oh, Oh Joining hands are like a harbour in the tempest You’re the last to know Every word is like a thunder when there’s silence In the afterglow - The Last to Know

When lies are forgiven At the cost of humble truth You’re the one that keeps me waiting I stay, I stay here for you Silver arrows tipped with whispers Inner circles shun and stare Hear your ghost across the water You care, you care, you care I cannot free the voices without you All this time you knew I cannot tame the beasts inside my head All I feel is pure dread End my existence, and lose you Your poison beauty, a breed far and few Is it you, Is this real? It seems you’ve brought your allies Turn your back on what you feel Now you mock our fate bound path way I kneel, I kneel, I kneel I cannot free the voices without you All this time you knew I cannot tame the beasts inside my head All I feel is pure dread Look at the water’s edge The truth shining clear as the dark You’re just a voice like them Slave to my false Mind - Lies I cannot free the voices without you All this time you knew I cannot tame the beasts inside my head All I feel is pure dread End my existence, and lose you Your poison beauty, a breed far and few Is it you, Is this real?

That’s a story ’bout a freak I know It sneaks into my mind It covers sight, I’m blind And all the drugs I take The only reachable peace in my life Though you warn me babe I keep on sucking that leaf into my lungs Sometimes it hits me bad Gives a knockout to my brain Insanity no way to see reality Inside of me Jealous as I’m then Sometimes I Saw an enemy in every man Jealous as I’m then An enemy in every man In every man Everything changes sometimes (they told me that) Everything changes sometimes (they told me that) Everything changes sometimes (repeat 3 times) Or never - or never - or never at all Illusions of control are all we see Monstrosities are hiding underneath The Faces of the people that I meet The planetary shell under my feet It’s crawling up my spine It’s feeding on my brain Though you warn me babe I keep on poisoning myself To kill that beast in me Cut off slices of my soul Lost them on my way to go Cut off slices of my soul Far away from being whole Everything changes sometimes (they told me that) Everything changes sometimes (they told me that) Everything changes sometimes (repeat 3 times) Or never - or never - or never at all Everything changes sometimes (they told me that) Everything changes sometimes (they told me that) Everything changes sometimes (repeat 3 times) Or never

They said you ain’t good enough So realize that it will be tough Now at last it’s time to rise It shouldn’t need to be told twice Now it’s just up to you And there’s no substitute Whoa, a badge of shame is hardly fair Yeah, increasing pain, but I don’t care Increasing pain, but I don’t care Snatch at this one-time Opportunity Reject the idol that you wanna be Please accept this good advice Take the load of sacrifice Whoa, the badge of shame is hardly fair Yeah, you’ll take the pain, but I don’t care Take the pain Play the game The Bagde of Shame Whoa, the badge of shame is hardly fair Yeah, I raise your pain, but I don’t care The same old game, but I don’t care! Yeah, yeah Don’t be afraid to admit That you bury the fear of losing it Simply have to break the rules Cause you’re nobody’s fool Let us believe, the time will show Come on seize it - face it - now You have been waiting for too long There’s nothing more - that can go wrong Whoa, my badge of shame is hardly fair Yeah, increasing pain, but I don’t care The same old game, but I don’t care! Yeah Again the pain, but I don’t care

Prey 08:57
lyrics

Breathe deep my child A warm summer harvest haze Dream of the fields With golden grains and rivers jade Crows call - Nothing can prepare us for our fate Fear grows - Blooms then wilt away forever Into unknown hate Prey falling Turn this land to ash and darkness Flay the earth beneath us Rage burning I will build a cage around us Wake the fury boundless We must fight - For everything that’s true Bring another dawn Cold chokes the night And seeks to freeze our sacred homeland Beasts stalk the wild Their madness born of hidden rage Fear lives - Moonlight seeds a shadow Cursed by blinding fate Prey falling Turn this land to ash and darkness Flay the earth beneath us Rage burning I will build a cage around us Wake the fury boundless What brought this wrath? Cast our people to the east wind Why bring our fears true? This perfect ignorance The rhythm of the land There’s a strength within these roots The daybreak will hold all the darkness back And when the bell strikes noon When our people hear the call All fathers and mothers will join their hands. Your Mind will take you back The bird song and breeze When our children played along the oaken forest paths Stolen memories A painting of the past But I remember innocence and fires glowing bright We sleep within a dream So radiant from birth Prey falling Turn this land to ash and darkness Flay the earth beneath us Rage burning I will build a cage around us Wake the fury boundless Prey falling Turn this land to ash and darkness Flay the earth beneath us Rage burning I will build a cage around us Wake the fury boundless Give your life Stay brave and stand as one Shield your kin, protect the homesteads Onward we shall ride Lets start the hunt
