[Instrumental]

Living, no giving, no passion at all
Watching the days going by
Wasting the moments, ignoring the life
Blindfolded and chained by the lie

I – the almighty god of it all
I'll never surrender
I – I'm always surviving the fall

Like the lightning in the sky
Flying through the night
Giving me the power
I need to be right
Holding my heart
And never letting go
You're the vision of my life
I'll be standing by your side
Showing the light on your way
And you're holding my heart
Holding forever and forevermore

I throw myself into the eye of the storm
I'll be washed away with the rain
So many years i've been fighting it back
Now I'm ready to leave it in vain

I – the almighty god of it all
I'll never surrender
I – I'm always surviving the fall

Like the lightning in the sky
Flying through the night
Giving me the power
I need to be right
Holding my heart
And never letting go
You're the vision of my life
I'll be standing by your side
Showing the light on your way
And you're holding my heart
Holding forever and forevermore

I locked all the doors and tossed the key
Into the darkness, into the sea
I tried to get back all the things that I've lost
But in the end I had to pay all the costs

You're the vision of my life
I'll be standing by your side

Like the lightning in the sky
Flying through the night
Giving me the power
I need to be right
Holding my heart
And never letting go
You're the vision of my life
I'll be standing by your side
Showing the light on your way
And you're holding my heart
Holding forever and forevermore

Come on down here.
I feel false expectations, live by a name
Expect no revelations, it's not a game
Yeah

There's no such thing as thunder, that's nice and clean
It's all pure dirt i'm under, that's what i mean
Yeah

I'm turning the tables
From now on i walk
I walk my own way
Now hear me say
I'm not chained down by labels, i'm spreading like wild fire
Taking you with me

Oh! Waste no time pretending, i'll raise my fist for you
Screaming dirt metal
Dirt metal! Yeah

What's nice with self frustration, this one to give
I won't have mind-castration, it's time to live
C'mon

We're turning the tables, from now on i walk
I walk my own way, now hear me say

I'm not chained down by labels, spreading like wild fire
Taking you with me

Oh! Waste no time pretending, i'll raise my fist for you
Screaming dirt metal

Dirt metal!
C'mon scream!

I'm not chained down by labels, spreading like wild fire
Taking you with me
I waste no time pretending, i'll raise my fist for you
Screaming dirt metal

I'm not chained down by labels, spreading like wild fire
Taking you with me
I waste no time pretending, i'll raise my fist for you
Screaming dirt metal
Dirt metal!
Scream!

Skies are red like the devil's eyes
Gaze that burns and peels my skin
There's no place to hide from the lies
There must be evil within

Justify the deeds that I've done
I've lived my whole life in disguise
Amplify my needs I'll become what
I always have despised

Oh, I'm twisting and turning around
I'll never be free to be bound
My destination is still unknown
And I can't find a way...

Holding my breath as I'm going ahead
A burn in my eyes, a wish in my heart
The blood that I bleed is the hope that I seek
A burn in my eyes, a wish in my heart
The blood that I bleed

Crucify my dreams, I'll survive
Whatever gets in my way
Clarify my vision, my life
I hope that forever you'll stay

Oh, I'm twisting and turning around
I'll never be free to be bound
My destination is still unknown
And I can't find a way...

Holding my breath as I'm going ahead
A burn in my eyes, a wish in my heart
The blood that I bleed is the hope that I seek
A burn in my eyes, a wish in my heart
The blood that I bleed

Justify the deeds that I've done
I've lived my whole life in disguise
Amplify my needs I'll become what
I always have despised

Oh, I'm twisting and turning around
I'll never be free to be bound
My destination is still unknown
And I can't find a way...

Holding my breath as I'm going ahead
A burn in my eyes, a wish in my heart
The blood that I bleed is the hope that I seek
A burn in my eyes, a wish in my heart
The blood that I bleed

Blinded and weak, mind torn apart
Crushed by the evil that freezes your heart
Driven by sorrow, driven by hate
Breathing object, living human bait

Ten thousand eyes
Locked on the screen
Stripping this innocent beauty queen
Covered in filth and raped by the sin
"Oh girl, you're so sweet, just give me so skin"

Welcome to our land of dreams
We'll give you everything you need
This is where your dreams come true
Just open yourself
You'll get the fortune and the fame
You'll never be the same
What a fine way of life
Girl, you're a star

Feeding the vein
Another array of a human lowlife
Body decayed
No future, no hope
Can you hear the voices: "Hey you, buy a rope... but make sure it's thick
enough hahahaa..."

Welcome to our land of dreams
We'll give you everything you need
This is where your dreams come true
Just open yourself
You'll get the fortune and the fame
You'll never be the same
What a fine way of life
Girl, you're a star

Blinded and weak, mind torn apart
Crushed by the evil that freezes your heart
Driven by sorrow, driven by hate
Breathing object, living human bait

Welcome to our land of dreams
We'll give you everything you need
This is where your dreams come true
Just open yourself
You'll get the fortune and the fame
You'll never be the same
What a fine way of life
Girl, you're a star

Scream in the night wake up in a fight
Dreaming of death and destruction
I am haunted by the ghosts of my youth
Face in the light
A stranger beside
I'm lost I don't know where I'm going
I am falling with the ghosts of my youth

Hunger for life is still strong
I'm not younger
I can't take it all
Now there's other emotions inside growing day by day

And the days just keep passing me by
I don't know what is hiding inside
It tears out my heart and my mind

Bring me down – reality strikes me
Heal me now – keep me alive
Bring me down – got to be stronger
Ghosts of youth – leave me alone!

I'm on the run for something i've done
Just can't remember the reason
I am the haunted by the ghosts of my youth

Hunger for life is still strong
I'm not younger
I can't take it all
Now there's other emotions inside growing day by day

Bring me down – reality strikes me
Heal me now – keep me alive
Bring me down – got to be stronger
Ghosts of youth – leave me alone!

As another day turn into night
The silence surrounds me
I can hear my self breathing hard
Your eyes are all I see
I can feel your touch on my skin
I can feel it burning deep with in
The pain is taking over once again
And again

Counting hours
Counting days,
It never seems to end
Counting every moments
No time to pretend
You're fading away

There a raging war in side of you
Eating you alive
And it slowly take your faith away
Leading you to survive
We now take there words
I realize there not the same
This the time to face the truth
Now the pain is leaving you
Alone

Counting hours
Counting days,
It never seems to end
Counting every moments
No time to pretend
I keep on
Counting hours
Counting days,
It never seems to end
Counting every moments
No time to pretend
You're fading away

Fading away
For others to see

There's no more words

Counting hours
Counting days,
It never seems to end
Counting every moments
No time to pretend
I keep on
Counting hours
Counting days,
It never seems to end
Counting every moments
No time to pretend
You're fading away
You're fading away
You're fading away

You try to make yourself a god and you try to live like one
But you're too weak too small too everything for that
Since day one you've been choked by their expectations
And now, after so many years... it's time to pay the price

Vengeance – is the only way
Happiness – comes another day
Fucked up mess – mind astray
Control – your middle name

Reaching for something that's too far away
You fail and you fall just to get back onto your feet
Holding on to a dream can bring you misery
You live and you learn it all turns into greed

After all those things you've done
You think you can get away from it
No way! Just dodge the bullet and die trying...

Vengeance – is the only way
Happiness – comes another day
Fucked up mess – mind astray
Control – your middle name

Reaching for something that's too far away
You fail and you fall just to get back onto your feet
Holding on to a dream can bring you misery
You live and you learn it all turns into greed

No more pain for me
No more suffering and grief
I'm done with this wasted world
I choose my destiny
I'm right where I want to be
Numb again and getting myself swirled

Hey take a look at me
Tell me: what do you see?
You've got one thing to give
Attention, please

All night long I dream a dream
Of brighter days
All day long I'm in the dark
My back to the world
All night long I dream a dream
Of brighter days
All night long I dream a dream
Of brighter days
And I'm ready to embrace
The deadlights

Here I stand alone
At the end of days for me
Blinded by the beauty of it all
I will face my fear
But I can't supress a tear
I only wish that you'd have heard my call

Hey take a look at me
Tell me: what do you see?
You've got one thing to give
Attention, please

All night long I dream a dream
Of brighter days
All day long I'm in the dark
My back to the world
All night long I dream a dream
Of brighter days
All night long I dream a dream
Of brighter days
And I'm ready to embrace
The deadlights

Lost in the madness, I'm out of my mind
Blinded by a shining screen
The world's upside down, outside is inside
Is this the end? Is it me?

Dreaming and screaming and...
Reality hell!

Welcome to the temple of vanity
Sign of the times and insanity
Gods made of plastic and stupidity
The world kneels down blind
At the feet of fools

It's not what we are, it's what we could be
Inside everybody's a star
Live to be seen, so hollow and preened
What's left of our souls is a scar

Dreaming and screaming and...
Reality hell!

Welcome to the temple of vanity
Sign of the times and insanity
Gods made of plastic and stupidity
The world kneels down blind
At the feet of fools

I'm singing this suffering song
My eyes are on fire
I'm thinking about what you said
You called me a liar
I'm watching myself in the mirror
That face is not mine
I'm fading away into nothing
I'm crossing the line

Voices surrounding my space
Haunting but leaving no trace
Striking me down with disgrace
And wiping me away

Embracing my insanity
I feed it with anger
My suffering's my pleasure my pain
And makes me stronger

For years they've been hunting me down
Teasing and pushing me around
No more! I'm finally done
Just let me sing my suffering song

I'm seeing myself in the mirror
Those faces are mine
We're fading away into nothing
And crossing the line

For years they've been hunting me down
Teasing and pushing me around
No more! I'm finally done
Just let me sing my suffering song

Blindness is fear, we don't want to see or hear
Rejecting all the signs
We don't want to be too near
Hear no evil see no evil is our blessing
Ignoring everything
That gun's your fucking middle finger for us all! [x2]

Compressing all that you feel
Sucked in this spinning wheel
Can't get out
This is your cell
Welcome to our living hell!
Hear no evil see no evil is our blessing
Ignoring everything
This is your wake up call for us all!

Come join the choir
We all sing the same
Higher and higher
Or we all lose the game
Come join the choir
Together we'll always be strong
Higher and higher
We sing the suffering song
