Tracks



01. Black River Delta

I spread false news
Never on the way to my perfection
I won't leave this world alone

Why do I accelerate?
Why do I believe in lies that I have used before?

So trust in what I gave to you
Follow me and I will follow you

Everything's different since I was alive
My tainted soul is now washed clean
No need to cry
Black river delta will consign me to the sea

Riding with strong current into our fate
Passengers unable to navigate

I watch the moon guiding my remains
Tiding away
Nothing to regret
I am long since dead
Let the ocean be my permanent site
My bed for eternity

Why did I take this divergency
Tiding me into the wrong direction
Why am I still caught in this earthly me
While the water gets gluey and thick

I am now a part of conscience
Greater than anything I knew before

Everything's different since I was alive
My tainted soul is now washed clean
No need to cry
Black river delta will consign me to the sea

02. Memento

To shed all this pain in me
This distant reality
Memento is forcing thee
To return to a point to dark to flee

Tied
Addicted to the past
Remembrances to cast
Not waking from your self extinction
Soaked in acid
Or in vain
No reasons to detain
Those twinges just remaining the past
Remaining the last goodbye of
Just time off

But all those memories hurting cane
Forever banned a futile gain
Below the crown it's not the same
Just a stain

Now betrayals cloud your sight
A tunnel with no light
Not waken from your self deception
Then just try to face the truth
I guess you missed the move
When they told you not to read
Morenot to ask for an answer
This shrouded answer

But all those memories hurting cane
Forever banned a futile gain
Below the crown it's not the same
Just a stain

Tempus hic est ut veritatem dicere
Tempus hic est ut mendacia finire
Tempus hic est us animam intendere
Tempus rationis veridice hic est

Time has come to face the truth
Time has come to make the move
Time is here to feel the rage
Power of the surpressed page

And all is said and done
And all are gone
Follow me follow me follow me
Into the dark of doom

And when night falls you'll know
Where you belong
Hollow me hollow me hollow me
Til you reach the loom

After the dark there's a light we see
Towards the dawn of eternity

Don't dare to fail
Or you'll never prevail

Prevail over lies over jealousy
Walk in to the light of eternity

Don't dare to fail
Or you'll never prevail

03. New Dawn

Nights before
I thought about all the days we made it out
But today I face tomorrow
Yes there's bigger fear than before
And lonely knights are getting more
But there won't be lies and sorrow

Again I have been told to let you go
Oh no
I am sorry, cause my head won't so

Burn my heart
Burn it out
Cause without you there's no doubt
That I won't need all those feelings for a new dawn
Take my soul
Carry down all those memories to your ground
But the water in your eyes says
Forever we are bound

Blackened times I hoped in pain
But all attempts where in vain
That you would change your destination
No there are no feelings left
Little needles bigger shaft
In my head just my fixation

Again I have been told to let you go
Oh no
But otherwise my blood would stop to flow

Burn my heart
Burn it out
Cause without you there's no doubt
That I won't need all those feelings for a new dawn
Take my soul
Carry down all those memories to your ground
But the water in your eyes says
Forever we are bound

04. Where Daylight Fails

Curtains of the world
Pulled by the weak
Made by the strong
Fear is to keep you where you belong
You fall apart while they grow strong
Regret and despair
No longer to care for what you used to live
Your dreams are turning into nightmares you can't control

Your minds landscape turned reality
Forms and shapes disappear

Where daylight fails
There is no sorrow
No hope
No life
No tomorrow
It's frozen situation
The final score
There is no imagination of anything

Fight for a life you'll never ever reach
A life like it is on TV
Drown your confidence in alcohol
To feel strong
To feel save
To be free
Work for the man you've never ever seen
Pay for what is yours anyway
A wheel in the machine of society
Reliable
Just how you should be

Your minds landscape turned reality
Forms and shapes disappear

Where daylight fails
There is no sorrow
No hope
No life
No tomorrow
It's frozen situation
The final score
There is no imagination of anything

Stand up
Stand tall
Cry out
You will not fall
Believe in you
Let your desires come true

Where daylight fails
There is no sorrow
No hope
No life
No tomorrow
It's frozen situation
The final score
There is no imagination of anything
A forwardlooking revelation
Forevermore
In a fictional global nation under control
We will be part of it

05. Conquest Of Others

Despite is what I teach
Is what I fear
Is what I preach
War is what I bring
Is what I do
I do for you
Hate is what I learned
Is what I leave when I return

Crush down all you fear
Cause you don't understand
Eliminate the opposite
Make enemies and friends your slaves

A border is just a line on the cards of the weak
A crime is just a crime if you get sentenced for it

The world is my audience on screens I dictate
Its actors my puppets
Slaves of the state

Despite is what I teach
Is what I fear
Is what I preach
War is what I bring
Is what I do
I do for you
Hate is what I learned
Is what I leave when I return

Crush down all you fear
Cause you don't understand
Eliminate the opposite
Make enemies and friends your slaves

On my own stage I pull the strings
I write the tragedy
Everybody obeys my will
I write the tragedy
Nobody wins

Sorrow is my profit
Finally death is what I sell
Hate is my business and I create your hell
Do you know who I am?

Crush down all you fear
Cause you don't understand
Eliminate the opposite
Make enemies and friends

I am the illusionist
Satan and God
The world is my playground
And freedom is my fraud

06. Twist Of Fate

What are you crying for?
What is your desire?
How can I help a poor soul?
Swallow the solution I offer you
Exhale and you lose all your fear

Just give it a try
You want to
So I do what you ask me to do

It's never to late for a twist of fate
Believe and elate your mind
And try to segregate the feelings you hate
On my watch you'll be able to fly

Don't you feel better now?
Rely onto me
My cure is a lifetime deal
Love me and hate me
Fear me and take me
Die a thousand times

I just want to be another me
Cause I can't stand the uncertainty
Why can't I just see another side of myself

Just give it a try
You want to
So I do what you ask me to do

It's never to late for a twist of fate
Believe and elate your mind
And try to segregate the feelings you hate
On my watch you'll be able to fly

07. Elegy Of Existence

Would you call me the Lord of the bad world?
Would you blame it on me for being hurt?
Would it change anything if I said yes?
It's your own life, your own bloody game of chess
All the tears through the years, all the sorrow
Just dismiss and there won't be tomorrow
But keep in mind only life is for living
There is no fate but the fate you will give in

When there's no time for me now
Without rhyme or reason how
Should I ever keep my vow
And not fail

At the crossroads between hate and glory
Reaching pass-fail-point for now
Ruling clear-cut not my kind of story
Reaching pass-fail-point for now
As we die there's just one way to choose
It's the numen hot the soul you lose

To be in charge is my declared intention
Fortune no starry-eyed invention
If they slow you accelerate
In their glare hidden sham and hate
To arise from the blank ones
No big thing
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king
Recollect only live is for living
There's no fate but the fate you will give in

When there's no time for me now
Without rhyme or reason how
Should I ever keep my vow
And not fail

At the crossroads between hate and glory
Reaching pass-fail-point for now
Ruling clear-cut not my kind of story
Reaching pass-fail-point for now
As we die there's just one way to choose
It's the numen hot the soul you lose

At the crossroads between hate and glory
Reaching pass-fail-point for now
Ruling clear-cut not my kind of story
Reaching pass-fail-point for now
As we die there's just one way to choose
Now for a little while
Now for a little time
There's no fate no evil
Now and forevermore
Then at the raging shore
You will be here

08. Reflection

Like waiting for a dawn of...
An inner confidence, like ignorance
Don't miss the chance tonight
And when occlusion's drawn up...
All the lights won't stop
To put you on the display of this shop

The time after rising...
From the ashes is so cold
Between the world and you the icing
And you know you have been told

But it's too late to cancel, points of no return
No time to learn until you burn... tonight
Forecasts (four casts) of our ration, of the crowd alone
And all those acting things you call the tide

But when the curtain's falling...
Waiting forlorn for the day
Remaining just those memories
Afraid they will not stay

Stay tonight, never bail... and you will prevail
Inner sight, former gale, now the storm won't fail
Wasted years, wasted tears bringing back your fears
But anything caused everything and now you got the wing

Expressions on a window, would you call it stage
Better call it sage to be the hub tonight
Whenever it may end up, never think to stop
Never lead those days out from the light

Like leaves over a loom gale
We're carried through the world
And after years on this assumed trail
You realize the aim would hurt

Hurt your heart, take your soul, never find this hole
To rise again to fill the air, for you there's no spare
Wasted years, wasted tears bringing back your fears
But anything caused everything and now you got the wing

09. Sonar

10. Gravitate Towards Fatality

The long lost link
Once drowned in the sea
Sentenced forever in darkness to be

Searching since I can think
Fiction for the most
Passion for me
No doubt what I have found

Forget your obsession
It is not worth a thought
Look at your life and the sorrow it brought

A dreamer and a fool, that's what you are calling me
Unreal like a ghost and damned to lethargy

Come closer stranger
Don't be scared
Come closer stranger
There is nothing to care

I will make your dream come true

And now I gravitate towards fatality
Don't hesitate I will come for you
Something great is inviting me and it forces me to come down
There is no light above you anymore
Your only salvation lies deep in the core of your soul

Everything is here for you

And now I gravitate towards fatality
It's never to late for a wish come true

It's the end of my dream and the core of my living
A pure sense of love
And the goal, for my longing it's everything but it's also my end

Come closer stranger
Don't be scared
Come closer stranger
There is nothing to care

No chance to return
Water is surrounding me
I can feel the pressure
Part of a secret
Part of the sea

Now you see the price
See what it takes

I will make your dream come true

And now I gravitate towards fatality
Don't hesitate I will come for you
Something great is inviting me and it forces me to come down

There is no light above you anymore
Your only salvation lies deep in the core of your soul

Everything is here for you

And now I gravitate towards fatality
It's never to late for a wish come true
All the lights are shining

Just for me and force me to go
