Tracks



01. Whispers In Vain

We must be strong
We carry on
Never alone
Our wrath has grown
We're all for one
The time has come
To save our souls
No one will ever know

You see it happen all the time
Looks just like everyday life
We are slowly weaving deep inside
And you will pay the price

Moving closer
To control you
And there is nothing
You can do

You know there's
So little time to break
On your knees you shake
Will you feel betrayed
All that remains
Are whispers in vain

The road is long
It stretches on
As the desert rolls
Not too far to go
We've come so far
With no light in the dark

We have travelled cross many lands
Things have fallen into the wrong hands
We were hoping you'd understand
Sorry to ruin your plans

Moving under
Feel the thunder
In a moment it's over

You know there's
So little time to break
On your knees you shake
Will you feel betrayed
All that remains
Are whispers in vain

Moving closer
Feel the thunder
In a moment it's over

You know there's
So little time to break
On your knees you shake
Will you feel betrayed
All that remains
Are whispers in vain

02. Consequence Of Power

Don't know how I'll make
Hiding in the cold
Will I die here waiting
How long can I fight
Nothing left but pride
Got to find a way
To make it one more night
Feeling like I'm nothing
Like I was before
Praying for survival
For another round
Every second counts
Sometimes I don't know
If I can take anymore

Understand
The consequence of power
Never seen but always there
In your hands
The consequence of power
Is where the ride will end

Try to find a way back
Got to save myself
In this world
We lost control
Thought of checking out
Everything's in doubt
Feel like the tide is turning
But I've lost my soul
Spending every hour
Thinking 'bout my life
I lost it all inside
It's all a mystery
How this came to be
I was in the wrong place
At the wrong time

Understand
The consequence of power
Never seen but always there
In your hands
The consequence of power
Is where the ride will end

Don't know how I'll make it
Running from myself
Lost in survival
Don't know what I see
Nothing left of me
Knowing there's a way
But I may not return
Spent all my emotions
Should I now confess
On the road of no control
All that I believed
All my ecstasy
Buried in the ground and burning
Right next to my soul

Understand
The consequence of power
Never seen but always there
In your hands
The consequence of power
Is where the ride will end

03. Out Of Nowhere

Take a walk along
The highway to your mind
Take a chance
On all the things
You never thought you'd find
Take advantage of your universe
Erase the damage
Of a journey
Gone from bad to worse

All the anger
All the pain
Just when you thought
It'd never be the same

Look out there
The city of darkness
Is waiting to set you free
Your wildest moment
Out of nowhere
Something you'll never believe

Same old fears
Got you paralyzed
Same old tears
That you could have shed
In years gone by
Same old hesitations
You can rise above
We got every nation
Wondering what we've got in store

All the danger
In the game
And you're anxious every move
And that's a shame

Look out there
The city of darkness
Is waiting to set you free
Your wildest moment
Out of nowhere
Something you'll never believe

All the anger
All the pain
Just when you thought
It'd never be the same

Look out there
It's waiting to set you free
Your wildest moment
Out of nowhere

Look out there
The city of darkness
Is waiting to set you free
Your wildest moment
Out of nowhere
Something you'll never believe

04. Remember

I've come to warn you all
A dark and deadly force
Is now beyond control
We don't have one second to lose
It's looking like
The end is coming soon

Nothing
Can stop us
From taking the fall
I know this
I've seen them
They'll tear down the walls

Search for a new life
A new day in plain sight
It's finally upon us
The morning has come
A new day is born
Leave the fear behind us
Remember the days of the storm

Don't get lost in your thoughts
There's a reason they've come
To program your mind
To their cause
And try to make you their kind

Nothing
Can stop us
Protect us from harm
For them
Leave nothing
Our destiny calls

Search for a new life
A new day in plain sight
It's finally upon us
The morning has come
A new day is born
Leave the fear behind us
Remember the days of the storm

Should I break the silence
Leaving everyone in sacrifice
Should I break alliance
With the ones
That let me keep my life

Get ready to make your move
We'll make the rules
And darken their mood
Then we will arrive
From a distance
Hear our battle cry

Show us
Save us
Protect us from harm
For them
Leave nothing
Our destiny calls

Search for a new life
A new day in plain sight
It's finally upon us
The morning has come
Escape all the violence
All in defiance
Anger fuels desire
Inside your heart

We've known all along
We can be strong
Leave the tears behind us
All that's been torn
Morning has come
A new day is born
Remember the days of the storm

05. Mirage

All alone watching
Evil in the sky
Scan the desert
For a stranger coming into sight
But I have to be one step ahead
Let the eyes of time
Lead me to the end

Taking every chance
To trace these steps alone
Every circumstance
Leads to roads unknown

Now it's all around us
And the world has come undone
There's no one left to see
Nothing to believe
There's a ghost inside my mind
Keeps the memories alive
There's a demon on the run
Heading for the sun

Here alone and I'm half asleep
Thoughts are sick and twisted
Never what they seem
Always someone on the other side
Got to stop this spiral
Running for my life

All the evidence
Was hidden very well
That will never change
The stories one could tell

Now it's all around us
And the world has come undone
There's no one left to see
Nothing to believe
There's a ghost inside my mind
Keeps the memories alive
There's a demon on the run
Heading for the sun

06. Episodes Of Mania

She died in a firestorm
It echoes from the street
A wasted life
Full of promise ending
I'm left to wonder
How it might have been
No one knows
How this fuels my hatred

In a maze of lies
Tearing down inside
And I know
This time they cannot hide

No more rides on the manic sea
I don't care what tomorrow may bring
No more spirals down an endless dream
My life's changing
But I'm living in your memory

Light comes into view
The sun breaks the horizon
Spend the hours thinking about you
The touch of your skin
The way you drew me in
Don't know if I could ever
Feel the same again

Through the darkest night
Through their sinister eyes
They will see
Their end has now arrived

No more rides on the manic sea
I don't care what the darkness may bring
No more silence I have fled the scene
Got my eyes
On the road that's now ahead of me

Now I wonder
What brought this to an end
Did they receive the message I sent
She's now in a better place
Leaving us to trace
A road that leads
To echoes that she hides away

In a maze of lies
Tearing down inside
And I know
This time they cannot hide

No more rides on the manic sea
I don't care what tomorrow may bring
No more spirals down an endless dream
My life's changing
But I'm living in your memory

07. Redemption

In this cold dark city
Nothing for sure
Ain't nothing for free
The situation's a pity
Everything failing
Just existing
Ventured into places
Where you should not tread
One day you'll wind up missing
And they'll find you dead

It's time you figured out
Sometimes you're not allowed

When it all comes down
Face your conviction
Make you presence felt
They cannot speak for themselves
You were lost and found
Now you preach your religion
A witness to the dead
On the lonely road to redemption

Through this whole situation
Running for cover into the night
Endless confrontation
Something's missing
Something ain't right
Always call to question
Motives meant to pressure
Always take the hard road
Nothing's worth taking
Without a fight

Your judgement is in doubt
This time you're going down

When it all comes down
Face your conviction
Make you presence felt
They cannot speak for themselves
You were lost and found
Now you preach your religion
A witness to the dead
On the lonely road to redemption

It's time you figured out
This time you're going down

When it all comes down
Face your conviction
Never turn around
They welcome resistance
You were lost and found
Now you preach your religion
A witness to the dead

08. Take Back Yesterday

Seems to me we could
Make it all work out
Seems to me by now
You won't consider lies
I really hope
That you've found it all a thrill
You have really shown
Desire for the kill

We're never giving up
They'll never bring us down
No matter what they say about us
We'll be back around

Sometimes in our lives
We all have to bleed
Sometimes giving up
Things we thought we'd need
Internalize your anger
Intensify the pain
Get back all you lost
Take back yesterday

Did you ever think
We could have come this far
Did you ever think you'd
See right through the scars
Can you believe it's out there
It's your will to win
Things we'll keep forever
Let the war begin

We never let it die
We always steal the show
Never ones to wait around
Now the world will know

Sometimes in our lives
We all have the need
Sometimes giving up
All our hopes and dreams
Concentrate your anger
Release all of the pain
Get back all you lost
Take back yesterday

09. Anathema

In the garden of hell
Did you heed the warning
You lie awake in your cell
Hear the evil calling

Look inside
This extraordinary place
Never know what you'll find
But there's no room for mistakes

So please understand
You must weigh the cost
You soul belongs to me now
No way out
It's what you live for

You will never know
Until its right before your eyes
Nothing will ever show
Open up your mind and recognize
You're not immortal
Just a soldier of fortune
At thre crossroads of your life

In the shadows of death
I tried to reach you
What's going on your head
Hope you come back real soon

There's a chance you take
To escape on the ocean
Your debt is hardly paid
They removed your emotions

I was forged to leave
Running for so long
Now I'm on the dark sea
What will be
It's what I live for

You will never know
Until its right before your eyes
Nothing will ever show
Open up your mind and recognize
Your last decision
Fulfil your vision
At thre crossroads of your life

Live the lie
Tell the story
A lifetime on this earth
If you die
What's waiting for you
Will the voice be heard
One more time
One for glory
Leave behind the hurt
Remember now
Through all the changes
The silence always burns

You will know the truth
It will keep you from harm
I know you feel the sadness
The madness
Deep within your heart

You will never know
Until its right before your eyes
Nothing will ever show
Open up your mind and recognize
Your last decision
Fulfil your vision
At thre crossroads of your life

On the lonely road to redemption

10. Blood Of An Angel

Another empty night surrenders to the day
Just can't seem to get out of the rain
I'm getting tired of running from the pain
I could I start again
Hoping you would see
But I've been blind
You could see the future
Close enough to know
The past can hold all the ways
To make it through another day

There I go again
Getting lost in thoughts of you
You're the morning light
The stars that shine
Everything inside
I see you standing there
Then you disappear from view
A vision that I never will forget
The blood of an angel

There I go again
Getting lost in thoughts of you
You're the morning light
The stars that shine
Everything inside
I see you standing there
Then you disappear from view
A vision that I never will forget
The blood of an angel

I guess I had what I was looking for
Then it slipped away forever more
All the questions now surrounding what's
In store
Things are different now
I'm searching for a way
To pass the time
You still hold the future
Stay with me
Forever needs to wait
For all the things I didn't get to say
