Behind a velvet curtain, behind the sea of dreams
You hide me underneath your guiding wings The dark will seep into my life, feels like a vision to the blind So it will never be the same again I lose my soul and waste my life to find the truth about Why I must die, I reached the point of no return Memories and choices I defend will follow me into the end Forsake what I believed, deny what I have learned And my soul will burn Forsake what I believe, strain from another world The weakness in me hurts For this inner reason, for all the wealth I've sold You'll remove all doubts from my soul I'm not afflicted anymore, ask myself what I'm dying for Do you dare to watch my dreams tonight Life shined so bright once in my eyes, in agony I wish to rise Until the end I'll stand my ground Like a memory from a spark my hope's now glowing in the dark Through all my painful years, on my journey to the end I'll catch and kiss your tears, so I'll rise again 02. Shiver
This is my getaway from all the things you've done
'cause you let me fall astray For all the sorrow that I see the purpose is all gone And you think there's nothing left to say We should have done things differently But different worlds always collide in me I'm running out of nowhere There's nowhere left to hide I'm on my way to nowhere, it's me against you all I shiver down your spine When you lose your mask tonight You tried to pull the strings of my memory And tried to break my walls in two Keeping you from getting in, no word that I can say ...I can't explain all you put me enough I'm drowning with you by my side The pain of mine just tears me down inside 03. The Conjunction Of 7 Planets
At the fairly end of time the prophets have one thing in mind
The 'anti-Christ' will ensure their demise Divination or prophecy through reading signs in history The portents of the sky our last devise He rules the earth like god or king, religious worldwide following And brings down the birth of a new breed It's the lack of our morality, the loss of love and sanity The answer to all the fears we seed At this time there's some belief That the anti-Christ may has been born in '62 but far away The perfect time on a perfect day we were torn There'll be a time coming when we will lose our lives There'll be no hope or sin When redemption comes from god within Each religion, in its own way, has foretold the coming of a great saviour and pleasures for their souls With not a single trace of sin, god disappeared And enslaved the king that's what they have been told The revelation of the world, prepare yourself for the worst No need to flee from the lies We've lost compassion for the poor The reason what we're living for A cultured way of suicide Signs of extinction everywhere, in 2012 a new despair, a mortal fear Behold and learn the truth about these prophecies They're preached around the world 04. Cross The Line
My head is pounding my flesh's getting weak
I'm hiding my pleasures behind Burnt out like a dead religion My heart is aching as you crush my pride I'm torn between love and hate And victimized my soul The sky turns grey as blood runs dry So I did what I had to do Refused to believe, only a precious lie The will to survive, we embody the demise There's no shelter for my sins There's no way to leave behind The fear to cross the line There's no shadow as I pass There's no mountain I must climb Only the fear to cross the line This is where my path leads me I'm bonded and tied up like a slave God may forgive or god may save Devour the soul that's guilty Sorrow turns to hate, you seal my fate The thoughts of perfection enslaved The truth remains to guide the way These blessings won't take away The presence of evil, the source of all fears I swallow the pride that remains throughout the years 05. Nailed Down Dreams
Can you take me to heaven, I'm naked in my misery
It's only one last breath and one last dream away And can you ever release me, can you ever free my soul For all the tears my friends will cry, a single tear for every lie You've locked our hopes away Some lost their pride under your sway But in this void of social care we're lost everywhere Embrace your dreams, thrives on defeat It's all we do cause all we can't see Reveal your soul, they're running out of steam These are your nailed down dreams So many souls you have broken You've tajen all our dignity Draining out my hopes and call it "terror" on the screen All is left and unspoken, retribution from your hand I won't be the only one who's lost They'll bury me on this barren land Unheard so they don't care, we're lost everywhere 06. Blood Still Stains
In a world not far away, the evil seems to be alive
See people rotting through the streets You fight to save your life You've been socialized for many years Now you have to face the truth For those who care, a reason to despair If you can't see, there's nothing left in there There's no need to fear life As blood runs through your veins Where killing is a suicide And your soul remains ...The bloodstill stains Like the idols show on our TV That's something you don't care Controlled by fear and tragedy The wealth isn't really there Life feels so strange, so much to be discovered It never helps - you realized - to hurt another 07. Ahimsa
Many souls around the world
Live the ideals of compassion It's gentleness and non-injuring A life of fate and passion On sacred ground, their souls revealed Protected by a father, taught by a philosophy Of non difference of self and other What they have done to others will be done to them It's their great desire not to suffer again Ahimsa, for good and evil, friends not enemies Ahimsa, one god one devil, my belief is a sacrilege Ahimsa, I wonder why and how to realize Ahimsa, share the dream, souls will survive They bring the freedom to their homes They rule their own domain They try to live a harmless life So we are still the same Released and lost in a previous life Resolved just in their minds On a trip through time and space They try to change our lives What we should learn and what we're supposed to do Is to free our minds to let the dream come true Belief in karma and reincarnate your soul And teach the world there's peace at all 08. The Final Stages Of Decay
One step and all comes down
Each breath feels like the last Wrap my mind, you steal my soul My complete relief, life takes its toll Don't ever let it get me down When my feelings slowly burn So quietly I walked away My breakin' down reality I never thought this would be how I die I'm torn apart but in you, I confide If this is where I'm supposed to be My eyes will percieve... ...the final stages of decay Cause everything that get's in my way Will be lost and gone My strenght provides relief Without fear I'll turn around Strange faces that do surround me Want me to be what I want them to see Days disappear all at aonce I'm breathing on my own Wake me up from my undead dread I'm glad that I haven't lost my head I'm just a stranger to the scene Give me the faith and I'll believe This is not where I'm supposed to be There's no last embrace, no sanctuary... I never thought I would laugh again My smile has decayed as I embraced the dead My helpless soul is drowning in pain The more I loathe, the more love I shed 09. Victim
You can't see the scars I had
Resurrect but not undead Blessed by an immortal love I can breathe the air above You fall asleep but need no rest just stay awake to take a test You say it right but speak no word The loudest silence I've ever heard You share the grace to be my god And justify every single shot Scared me to death by night and day But no regrets in many ways Your face is blank, no need to speak It hurts me blind, but noone seeks My body's drenched in cold sweat Fear surrounds my soul, fear surrounds my head Now walk the line, and keep it true Nothing here and noone there will face the truth It's not what you say, it's what you do There's more in life than we can say it's what the people hear... I know the answer but no one sees Will you ever know just what I mean I need to feel that I'm alive, can't take my breath Don't be a victim to a world that divides You enslave a lonely soul Unleash the greatest gift of all Is this your blessing or a mistake No regrets and nothing to take You figure out my confidence To take the arm and cut off the hands Smile to me in my mortal fright A sinner's harm, the saint's delight This loss of life, you're not to blame Nothing here and there will ever be the same It's not when you cry or when you sleep There's life to live, a world to save, there's life to keep 10. When No One Cares
I'm out trippin' the system
I'm lookin' down where you dwell How many times I count you out and How many times your world comes crashing down? Accepting, denying the fear you were lying Unaware of the plans I had made Threads are broken, the promises taken You're losin' your pride and I'll keep you alive But no one knows or seems to care I grow strong and breathe the same air The answers there for all to see But you're suffering within your false belief You're in, now you have to face Now we're together by a fall from grace Enchanting words, dreams denied Whatever I find, you appear on my mind Accepting, denying the fear you were lying Without words you accept my life Threads are broken, the promises taken Times we shared, time to survive 11. Would You
It's when I hear the prophets call
It's my decision to be free I know it doesn't go away Still can't believe what you say I drag myself through all my dreams While I'm reflecting on the past Struggling to reach the end of line To cross the blackside of mankind What do you expect me to be A stranger who learns to hate Beyond the mist of my memories I'm blind and without fate Would you see me, would you care Would you take away my fears Would you leave me, would you lie Would you stand by me side by side You seek confusion everywhere The living proof of what can be Finding it harder now to breathe Onto a place where thoughts are free So there is nowhere else to go And there's no reason to resist No god or master has built your brain Drowning my soul and ease my pian Can you tell what's inside of me I'm too weak to fight my own When faith and fear has closed on me My existence depends on |
