De fumo in flammyam
Tempore nihil sanat
Noli ignoscere
Noli oblivisci
Odire humanom est

(Translation from Latin to English:
The smoke of the fire
Time heals nothing
Do not ignore
Do not forget
Hate is human)

See the wolf in sheep's skin, waiting in the shadows
Watching learning...too bad I did not recognize
The dark undertow, pulling you away
We've been infiltrated, in fact violated, carefully orchestrated

Hate springs eternal, in this black heart of mine
Time heals nothing, I'll never forgive
Hate spreads internal, in this black heart of mine
Time heals nothing, I'll never forgive
You swallowed the lies, in a search for inner peace
With open ears and eyes, could you not feel?
The dark undertow
Pulling you down
You've been infiltrated, in fact violated, ultimately desecrated

Hate springs eternal, in this black heart of mine
Time heals nothing, I'll never forgive
Hate spreads internal, in this black heart of mine
Time heals nothing, I'll never forgive, never forget
Never ever

When the dust has settled
I'll watch you drown, drown, drown in your regret

The dark undertow, pulling you away
We've been infiltrated, in fact violated, carefully orchestrated
Hate springs eternal, in this black heart of mine
Time heals nothing, I'll never forgive
Hate springs eternal, in this black heart of mine
Time heals nothing, I'll never forgive, never forget, never ever

Friend or foe, there's no way to know
In the battlefield of life it's kill or be killed
So many times it's a matter of degrees
From being up on your luck to down on your knees

It's a hellish inferno
This is war eternal

They try to change you, crush and break you!

Try to tell you what to do
They love to have control of you
Back against the wall
In danger of losing it all
Search deep inside
Remember who you are

It's times like these when lines are drawn
Which side of the fence are you standing on?
There will come one day not so far away
When the hunter becomes the prey (and you will pay)

It's a hellish inferno
This is war eternal

They try to change you, crush and break you!

Try to tell you what to do
They love to have control of you
Back against the wall
In danger of losing it all
Search deep inside
Remember who you are

This is fucking war!

They try to change you, crush and break you!

Try to tell you what to do
They love to have control of you
Back against the wall
In danger of losing it all
Search deep inside
Remember who you are

As the pages burn
Secrets can't be unlearned
Silence can't be unheard
Knowledge is burden, power is onus
As the pages burn
Your memories fade
Freed from the grip of reality
Rejecting Cognition...As the pages turn
Sinking in a pool of ether
The past is washed clean
Rip apart the world
Word by word
Inch by inch
Sever your timeline
Silence your conscience
Sweet amnesia, here to free you
As the pages burn

All your trials, solved by fire
As the pages burn
As smoke fills the room
Soon to pass...heavy gloom
The wind will whisk away the past
A blank page stares at you
Nothing left, where to start?
A second chance carries expectation
The books you'd written no longer exist
The future is in your pen-Ink to paper now begin
Rip apart the world
Word by word
Inch by inch
Sever your timeline
Silence your conscience
Sweet amnesia, here to free you
As the pages burn

All your trials
Solved by fire
As the pages burn

Rewriting history, starting now
Erase the misery...Let the flames eat your doubts...
Sweet amnesia, here to free you
As the pages burn
All your trials, solved by fire
As the pages burn
(War, war, war...)

You chose your path
Don't shift the blame
You ran your course
You lost sight of your aim
Wrong choices linger
Like scars remain
Long after the bleeding stops
There's nowhere left to hide from the shame
Never again

No! No more regrets
What's done is done - can't be erased
Know, know your regrets... savor the bitter aftertaste

The crippling guilt, how heavy it can be
When searching for the right words
Hoping the truth will bring you peace
A lesson learned is good company
For the lonely road you walk
Each step forward - agony
Never again

No! No more regrets
What's done is done - can't be erased
Know, Know your regrets...savor the bitter aftertaste

It's hard to breathe
Thought process crushing me
Purge mistakes! Strip the mind of its dignity

Liar
Liar

Never again

No, no more regrets
What's done is done can't be erased
Know, know your regrets, savor the bitter aftertaste
No more, What's done is done can't be erased
All I know is but regret
I can't shake this bitter aftertaste

The judging eyes, watching me
Is all I've ever known
When i try to open up my heart
I am ridiculed and torn apart
You tell jokes I'll never get to hear
Behind my back, at my expense

There's something inside me
And I know it's good
I'm not evil, just misunderstood

Do you see me now?
Do you hear me now?
You will know my name
Do you see me now?
Do you fear me now?
You will know my name

Today i break my silence...
Strip you of your dignity
Tear down your perfect world
Your perfect lies

No more jokes I'll never get to hear
Behind my back, at my expense

There's something inside me
And i know it's good
I'm not evil, just misunderstood

Do you see me now?
Do you hear me now?
You will know my name
Do you see me now?
Do you fear me now?
You will know my name

No longer Invisible
You will know my name

Do you see me now?
Do you hear me now?
You will know my name
Do you see me now?
Do you fear me now?
You will know my name

No longer Invisible
You will know my name

Instrumental

Everything so clear now
It's written on your face
In a world within a world
I can smell the bridges burn
Sharks ever circling
They never go away
In these dark, murky waters
So hard to navigate and so easy to hate

Paint me black, demonize me, this is how you pay me back?
Do you ever really know someone until you look away?
Misplaced my trust, only to learn...honesty is just a word

This is a stolen life
Before you walk away
Don't forget to turn the knife

What's next, more betrayal?
Have I not suffered enough?
You made me feel so alive
Now you're just killing me, killing me

Paint me black, demonize me, this is how you pay me back?
Do you ever really know someone until you look away?
Misplaced my trust, only to learn honesty is just a word

This is a stolen life
Before you walk away
Don't forget to turn the knife

This is a stolen life

Carve away the rotten flesh
It's time to burn
Strip away the dirty lies
Expose the ugly truth...

Do you ever really know someone until you look away?
Misplaced my trust, only to learn honesty is just a word

From a distance, the truth is so obvious
Answers are all so clear
Logic stays at arm's length
When engulfed in the present, here
Desperation draws near...

If I could pull the fabric of time
And bring the future near
The answers wouldn't be so far
The truth would be so clear

Time is black, time is black
And nothing will escape
Nothing will remain
Nothing

From a distance time is black
Tangible and dense
With each rotation a new day passed
And past, at last, makes sense
There where past obstacles seem
Just pebbles on your path
Always just a step ahead
The peace I hope to catch

Time is black, time is black
And nothing will escape
Nothing will remain
Nothing

Time is black, time is black
And nothing will escape
Nothing will remain
Nothing

We walk through war in the halls
Of dead protocols
We came so close, demands were met
That's when the rug was ripped out from under our feet
A vicious crime...cold betrayal and deceit

Then reality hits you like a stab in the back
Like a slap in the face, a premeditated attack

On and on
The battle knows no victory
On and on
Weapons high - Reject defeat

Decrepit smiles shine like fire
Lying through their teeth
It's a memory you want to forget
From one second to another the whole world went under
The future cuts so deep tangibility bleeds

Then reality hits you like a stab in the back
Like a slap in the face, a premeditated attack

On and on
The battle knows no victory
On and on
Weapons high, Reject defeat

On and on! Until the victory is dead and gone
On and on! Kill the history, the wrong side won

On, on and on
On, on and on

On and on, the battle knows no victory
On and on, weapons high, history repeat
The battle knows no victory, weapons high, Reject defeat

Don't let the history repeat...

A fistful of fear in my hands
A bullet of betrayal in my brain
No progress comes from pleasure
We smile in ignorance and learn in pain

Willful deceit was your plan
Desperately avoid the blame
Who will you answer to now?
Sharpened your shovels
Just to dig your grave

Stand up because the ground is in your way
I won't give you any peace
Yet still you talk
Try to fight but I will watch you fall
Fall

This is sweet revenge
And karma's a bitch
You glutton for punishment
What did you expect?

Sick, sick, sick
I'm sick of being your martyr
Your inflated ego is just dead weight
Bask in all the eyes upon you
Before you know it
They'll have turned away

Stand up as the whole world turns away
I won't give you any peace
Yet still you talk
Try to fight but I will watch you fall
Fall

This is sweet revenge
And karma's a bitch
You glutton for punishment
What did you expect?

Wait and see
Cry yourself a lonesome creek

Your decaying corpse
Can feed the roots
Of my towering free

Just wait and see
You're dead to me

Yet still you speak
Trying to justify what you're doing to me

I will watch you fall
Fall

This is sweet revenge
And karma's a bitch
You glutton for punishment
What did you
What did you expect?

The light dwindles down to nothing
As the candle sputters out
Just beyond the ebb and flow
Of a dark and restless heart

Alone again
Facing the demons
In this hell
Of my own making

I will not let this moment
Define who I am
Now you see me
Now you don't
I am strong, eternal
Now you see me
Now you don't

Licking the wounds now
I shelter in the melody
My ink runs from black to red
Screaming into the void

Alone again
Facing the demons
In this hell
Of my own making

I will not let this moment
Define who I am
Now you see me
Now you don't
I am strong, eternal
Now you see me
Now you don't

Seemingly endless
Like the wind, the stormy seas
I held the poison, I had the power
I will return

Seemingly endless
Like the wind, the stormy seas
I held the poison, I had the power
I will return
