Tracks



01. Trail Of Kings

Time's up, you cannot change a thing
Cannot regret, cannot explain
When all the mistakes have been cast
You try to take your freedom
With eight shotgun blasts

Right now you don't know what to say
Cannot find no-one else to blame
This time you have gone too far
This time you can kiss your ass goodbye

Soon you will see that justice takes its toll
No, the punishment will knock you out of the door
There's no excuse. There's nothing in your sight
No-one to help you out, to help you find your peace of mind

Old man you're wasting your breath
Trail of kings is far ahead
There is no grace in your defeat
Your suffering will be legendary even in Hell

[Solo]

Trail of Kings

Trail of Kings
Trail of Kings

Old man you're wasting your breath
Trail of kings is far ahead

Old man you're wasting your breath
Trail of kings is far ahead
There is no grace in your defeat
Your suffering will be legendary even in Hell

02. Living Dead Superstar

The sign of target is painted red
The trial shall begin
A new form of supremacy
One more declaration of war

The pulse of death is now released
Unstable killing machine
Tearing down the state of illusion
Slaughter of, slaughter of believes

Propaganda
Lack of faith
Circle of insanity

Oh, Lord, I don't know
How to forgive to this messenger of agony

Cult of submission
Pathological addiction
Revolutionary transformation

Behold the disciple
Of tyranny and fame

Cross my heart and hope to die
Clock is ticking your 15 minutes of prime time
You will become a part of the show
"Living dead superstar"
The last episode of your story cannot be rewound

[Solo]

03. Bad Sign

He was born in a place
Where the shadows
Grow upon the grain
Not far from here

It was the time
When dreams
Were taken away
Oh, it flings him down to despair

And he can't cry for what it might have been like
He can't 'cos he has no more tears
Now he is standing in silence
Holding his breath
Before they know it the blood runs red

One
"For the pain"
Two
"For the shame"
Three and four
"Just in case"
No need for words
Eight will be a secret

Bad Sign
No, no, no, no!

[Solo]

He can't take back all the things he has done
Redemption will remain
He has frozen his fate
And now it's far too late
To find the reason to go on

One
"For the pain"
Two
"For the shame"
Three and four
"Just in case"
No need for words
Eight will be a...

04. Resign From Life

So here I am
Conjuring the ghost of Cain
I was born into this world
One foot in the grave
But you can still see the grin on my face

Soon I will come and go
Out of order, raving through the show
Trembling hands, smell of death
I disregard bone and flesh

No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try
You still cannot face what I have become
It's never me, it's never you
There's nothing else, there's nothing new
But I've just got one more thing to say:
"Yes, I am my brother's keeper"

Hey, now I have reached the point
Where there's nothing left to say
I am crusading on this serpent of disgrace
Life, just one more
Just one more connection to let go
Well, let's propose a toast for the loss!

Destiny waits for no one
And now my time is near
I will resign, resign from life

[Solo]

Now I have
Given all the excuses I could give
Still you try to read between the lines
Keep acting like you knew it all
No, no, no, no

No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try
You still cannot face what I have become
It's never me, it's never you
There's nothing else, there's nothing new
But I've just got one more thing to say:
"Yes, I am my brother's keeper"

Hey, now I have reached the point
Where there's nothing left to say
I am crusading on this serpent of disgrace
Life, just one more
Just one more connection to let go
Well, let's propose a toast for the loss!
Well, let's propose a toast for the loss!

05. Icaros

I do remember the torrid wind in our lonely cell
Sometimes it feels like yesterday
Sometimes more than a million years
Oh, I close my eyes but I know that
It won't make those memories go away
I try not to remember the things
I cannot forget

My grave is deeper than guilt
I was the master of labyrinth
As only the Gods once knew
Then I had the world
But now I've got no one

Mmmm... We followed the wind to new horizons
We spread our wings when the darkness
Was fading into the light
We had no choice but
To come home to the unknown
If I had a way of knowing that
You were heading for a fall

My grave is deeper than guilt
I was the master of labyrinth
As only the Gods once knew
Then I had the world
But now I've got no one

Born to die, Icaros, my only son
Led by my desire for the open sky
I'm not the which you left behind
Born to die, Icaros, my only son
I have erased my precious art
With the stroke of the sun

[Solo]

Born to die, Icaros, my only son
Led by my desire for the open sky
I'm not the which you left behind
Born to die, Icaros, my only son
I have erased my precious art
With the stroke of the sun
Now your name is written in stars

06. Light Of The End

I came from nothing
Into existence, to live
From your shame
And right by your side
Is where I'll stand
Your journey begins
And ends with me

I am the way the truth
And the life and my
Salvation is for sale
So if you're looking for a shelter
Just stick around
I'll seal your fate

In this land of temptation...
Well, I know how sorrow creeps
So pray with me
Children of the night
I'm always on your side
Until the end of time

Follow me into the
Light of the end
Oh, I say... Follow me
A heart that bleeds will never die
Amen!

[Solo]

In this land of temptation...
Well, I know how sorrow creeps
So pray with me
Children of the night
I'm always on your side
Until the end of time

Into the light of the end
I'm always on your side
Into the light of the end
I'm always on your side
Amen!

07. Chagrin

A heart is broken
Another prayer in vain
It was the moment
Oh, when all began
Angel of sleepless nights
I barely know your name
But I can see you even
If you're a million miles away

Navigation for desire
For the flesh and for nothing else
In the still of the night
The poison calls her name
And she feeds her soul
With the needle of deceit
Before million eyes
In the great dark hall of fame

A disciple of the new God
Who has no name
Designer of unknown
Adoring servant for everything
Between zero and one

Chagrin
A dream of insanity
I have never even heard your voice
But I miss you so

Chagrin
I thought I knew it all
But the more things change
The more they will stay the same

[Solo]

Chagrin
A dream of insanity
I have never even heard your voice
But I miss you so

Chagrin
I thought I knew it all
But the more things change
The more they will stay the same
The more they will stay the same

08. Through Difficulties To Defeat

Screaming
I'm falling deeper into depression
Four walls around me
Oh, what have I done?

Even asleep I cannot know
If I'm awake
This is what it feels
Like to lose control

Deny me
Another nail to pierce my skin with blame
I feel shame
For the sin I know I can't make up

No more reasons
To live and breathe
This what it takes
To reach the end

I know my life is getting harder day by day
Now I don't know what to do or what to say
I have been counting down my days but I see no release
I cannot save me from myself as you will see

Through difficulties to defeat
That's the way the wind blows down here
Through difficulties to defeat
Tears are just a waste of good suffering

[Solo]

I know my life is getting harder day by day
Now I don't know what to do or what to say
I have been counting down my days but I see no release
I cannot save me from myself as you will see

Through difficulties to defeat
That's the way the wind blows down here
Through difficulties to defeat
Tears are just a waste of good suffering
A waste of good suffering

09. Hammer

I don't remember last night
Did I past out or did I get into a fight?
Well, now it's just you and me
And I would love to take you for a ride
It's like a shot right between the eyes

I'm so sick and tired of your face
They remind that everything
Has gone insane
That is exactly how I feel
So come on, let me entertain you
Until your voice is dead

Say your prayers little one
The end has now begun
And I waste no time at all
'Cos here we stand or here we fall

It's time for the hammer to fall

Left, right, left!
Forward march
To the point of no return
Left, right, left!
Forward march
Can you feel the sound of war?

[Solo]

I've got nothing left to lose
So you can just sit back and watch yourself
Becoming number two
I will treat you like a dog
Don't you know bad things come quick
So this shouldn't take too long

Say your prayers little one
The end has now begun
And I waste no time at all
'Cos here we stand or here we fall

Damn right!

10. Into The Sea

You see the tears of God
Falling down into the sea
Horizon is calm as ice
But that's not how it seems

Storm is rising from the north
Where the waves are made of sorrow
We're sailing into a place
Where I can rest in peace

Because of you, I guess we're through
This is the way it has to be
The last page in our story
Has been full of lies and deceit

You were someone to believe in
A place for hope in a changing world
I can no longer pay the price
For the shot by the dead as lies

Dear sister of every goddamned lie
A monster at heart, shepherd of the night
Still standing proud like a queen
I see, but your empire has come
To the end as least for me

God look at me now 'cos I
'Cos I will soon belong to the sea
Forgive me now
Only in silence of water
I can find serenity

[Solo]

Dear sister of every goddamned lie
A monster at heart, shepherd of the night
Still standing proud like a queen
I see, but your empire has come
To the end as least for me
At least for me...

God look at me now 'cos I
'Cos I will soon belong to the sea
Forgive me now
Only in silence of water
I can find serenity

Into the sea
For the first time
Into the sea
For the first time
For the first and for the last time
