01. Rise From The Fall

Invisible faces
Whisper to me in the night
They're speaking of places
Men have spent lifetimes to find

As if out of nowhere
Their shadows appeared
Fathers and sons in search for the one
Souls of eternity

Into the night, Reach for the sky

Guide me: You are the wise
Take me away to your kingdom of light
Time will prove to us all
If I'm the one, the rise from the fall
The rise from the fall

The journey seemed endless
Answers were so far away
I was running on empty
I was down on my knees in prayer

And just out of nowhere
The shadows appeared
Opened the gate, they showed me the way
The road to eternity

Into the night, Head for the sky

Guide me: You are the wise
Take me away to your kingdom of light
Time will prove to us all
If I'm the one, the rise from the fall
The rise from the fall

As if out of nowhere
Their shadows appeared
Fathers and sons in search for the one
Souls of eternity

Into the night, Reach for the sky

Guide me: You are the wise
Take me away to your kingdom of light
Time will prove to us all
If I'm the one, the rise from the fall
The rise from the fall

02. Heaven

Too many questions runnin' through your head
Speaking a language I don't understand
Blame me as always with that look in your eye
The sound of your silence asking me why

How many times must I try to tell you
For every tear that you cry my heart dies
There's no return for me

Heaven is somewhere beyond
A place you don't know, so far from here
Heaven is somebody else, no I can't pretend
Take my word, you're not the one

Now you're begging me to cure you from the pain
But the fats remain the same
The years that we had that you treasure in your heart
Was just a mistake from the start

Too many times must I try to tell you
For every tear that you cry my heart died
There's no return for me

Heaven is somewhere beyond
A place you don't know, so far from here
Heaven is somebody else, no I can't pretend
Take my word, you're not the one

Cause all that I need is to find some peace of mind
Oh can't you forgive and try

Heaven is somewhere beyond
A place you don't know, so far from here
Heaven is somebody else, no I can't pretend
Take my word, you're not the one

03. Tell Me

I can tell wrong from right
The stories you tell
The sound of a thousand lies
Don't tell me I'm out of line
I know every move
Heard every alibi

Your destiny's calling
It's only a matter of time
Before you start falling
Losing what's left of your mind

Don't tell me you are sorry
Don't tell me you are true
Cause I don't believe in you
I used to believe
Don't tell me you are changing
Don't tell me your truth
Cause I can't believe in you
Like I used to believe

You are the accident
Just waiting to happen
Too late to save yourself
It's over and we both know
That you're back on your own
Out of your comfort zone

You're tradding old waters
Playing your game 'till the end
A lamb to the slaughter
Losing again and again

Don't tell me you are sorry
Don't tell me you are true
Cause I don't believe in you
I used to believe
Don't tell me you are changing
Don't tell me your truth
Cause I can't believe in you
Like I used to believe
Tell me, who will believe in you

04. Chained

Don't try to change me
Don't try to stop the roll of the dice
The fate of mine
Choices I'm making, the plays I act
I don't expect you to understand

Now, I can tell you must be hurting
Don't think I don't, keep hangin' on
Hide in my shadow, but you should know
You got me...

Chained
Release me from this slavery
Chained
You'll never get the best of me
Chained
Our days are numbered can't you see
Chained
That is nothing, but a game to me

It's in your hearbeat
Every word you speak
You fear the moment you'll watch me leave
No matter how much you are burning
You're still too cold
Well, my love can't be trusted
You ought to know

I feel the pain in your denials
Don't think I don't, telling yourself it
Isn't over, but we both know
You got me...

Chained
Release me from this slavery
Chained
You'll never get the best of me
Chained
Our days are numbered can't you see
Chained

Release me from this slavery
It's nothing but a game to me, you got me

Chained
Release me from this slavery
Chained
You'll never get the best of me
Chained
Our days are numbered can't you see
Chained
That is nothing, but a game to me

05. Now Or Never

Look into the mirror
Search inside your heart
You will find the one you really are

Any way but backwards
Heading for the truth
Nobody can tell you what to do

Live your life
Just open up your eyes

Now or never
You must choose your destiny
Live forever
Trust your soul and
Seize the day
You're in control
It's all in your mind
Live your life

Face a new tomorrow
You've got everything to win
From today your new life will begin

The only trusted ally
Is none but yourself
Standing tall, prepared to risk it all

Live your life
Just open up your eyes

Now or never
You must choose your destiny
Live forever
Trust your soul and
Seize the day
You're in control
It's all in your mind
Live your life

Now or never
You must choose your destiny
Live forever
Trust your soul and
Seize the day
You're in control
It's all in your mind
Live your life

06. Two Hearts

I lost my mind
I lost myself
I kept on falling
Straight down to hell

Stood at the crossroads
I needed a sign
To find my way
Out of the night

As the light seemed to be too far away
The answer to every prayer
Looked into my eyes and took my hand

(It took)
Two hearts but only one wish
Two hearts, together we're strong
(It took)
Two hearts but only one wish
Two hearts, together we're strong

The wheels of life
Spinning around
I kept on'falling
No feet on the ground

Reached out for something
But I forgot to give
It took an angel to show me how to live

As the light seemed to be too far away
The answer to every prayer
Looked into my eyes and took my hand

(It took)
Two hearts but only one wish
Two hearts, together we're strong
(It took)
Two hearts but only one wish
Two hearts, together we're strong

08. Run/Leave

Lay down your arms
This fight you cannot win
Don't go too far
Might be a rude awakening

We're worlds apart
I can't help what I don't feel
Don't trust your heart
I'm everything that you don't need

(You might as well)
Run / Leave
Cause I'm not your destiny
(You know you better)
Run / Break free
From you own worst enemy
I know you're confusing me
With the one I used to be
(You might as well)
Run / Leave me
No, I'm not your destiny

I know myself
The dark mind of a restless soul
The road to hell
So tell me what you're waiting for

Don't hesitate
There's still time to save yourself
Before it's too late
Get a life, get someone else

(You might as well)
Run / Leave
Cause I'm not your destiny
(You know you better)
Run / Break free
From you own worst enemy
I know you're confusing me
With the one I used to be
(You might as well)
Run / Leave me
No, I'm not your destiny

Lay down your arms
This fight you cannot win
Do not trust your heart
Might be a rude awakening

(You might as well)
Run / Leave
Cause I'm not your destiny
(You know you better)
Run / Break free
From you own worst enemy
I know you're confusing me
With the one I used to be
(You might as well)
Run / Leave me
No, I'm not your destiny

09. Live For The Scared

The cry's been heard before
It's evil to the core
Chanting in the distant
Calling out for more

Always - hunted - wanted
It's an everlasting chase
Always - hunted - wanted
Ages since it started

A scream of ecstasy
As they smell the enemy
Hunting human souls
But they can't catch me

I live for the sacred
I'll die for the truth
Fighting the dark 'till the
Light comes shinning through

Centuries of fear
So many disappeared
But finally the time has come
The reckoning is near

Always - hunted - wanted
They are in it for the chase
Always - hunted - wanted
I'll finish what they started

So lead them on to me
I let them sense the enemy
Let them hunt my soul
Cause they can't catch me

I live for the sacred
I'll die for the truth
Fighting the dark 'till the
Light comes shinning through
The light comes shinning through

I live for the sacred
I'll die for the truth
Fighting the dark 'till the
Light comes shinning through
I live for the sacred
I'll die for the truth
Fighting the dark 'till the
Light comes shinning through

[Instrumental]

11. Run For Your Life

Thunder and lighting roaring outside
Voices keep calling your name thru the night
The wind carries these whispers away
It's almost like a spell

Will you ever break free
From the chains of the past
If you believe in yourself
There's freedom at last

Run for your life
Run from the dark to the light
Run for your life
Run with the speed of light

The beginning of the end
Cause now your fate is in your hands

Closing your eyes to focus the thoughts
You'll do anything not to get caught
Leave while you can and don't get confused
By demons inside your head

Will you ever break free
From the chains of the past
If you believe in yourself
There's freedom at last

Run for your life
Run from the dark to the light
Run for your life
Run with the speed of light

The beginning of the end
Cause now your fate is in your hands

Run for your life
Run from the dark to the light
Run for your life
Run with the speed of light

The beginning of the end
Cause now your fate is in your hands
