Blood once filled my dried out veins
Now I am put to sleep and drained
Forced into the arms of soulless ghouls
The army of sleeping ghosts
Dead men walk under the cloak of night
And I walk among them away from light
Away from the feelings I once felt
Feelings that held me

In a lock I couldn't break
To keep you safe away from me
A lock of silence forced me down
On my knees and to watch you leave
Please come back I'm left behind
You're my air my heart my source
You're my dreams that keeps me awake
You're forgotten life a hidden force

?My source?

I hunger like a predator
But I am nothing but the prey
Emotionless denied
Emotions left behind
I hide in pointless agony
I've fought to get out
Sadly I'll survive
I'm sorry I'm alive
I cry the loss of a fight but I never fought
I cry the loss of my mind
You were always in my thoughts

A sad excuse for crying in vain
No reason for denying I'm hiding again
Dry fucked, dry dreams, drowned in sand
Died by my own hand
It's pulling me under, I'm wasting my life
Left cold alone, bleeding and left out to the night
A frozen statue a fading memory
Soon to be forgotten

I'll break the lock that held me down
That kept you safe away from me
No more silence to keep me down
Down on my knees to watch you leave
I'll run fast I'll return in time
You're my air my heart my source
You're my dreams that keeps me awake
You're forgotten life a hidden force

?My source?

I hunger like a predator
But I am nothing but the prey
Emotionless denied
Emotions left behind
I hide in pointless agony
I've fought to get out
Sadly I'll survive
I'm sorry I'm alive
I cry the loss of a fight but I never fought
I cry the loss of my mind
You were always in my thoughts

I've tried to see beyond it
But I've never succeeded to see
More than what you've showed me
It's beyond what you might believe
I've tried to be wise about it
But I've never managed to get through
I guess that I'll stay human
So I can stay with you

Song of sadness song of rage
Sing forever sing for me
Song of hidden golden age
Teach me how to set you free

I hunger like a predator
But I am nothing but the prey
Emotionless denied
Emotions left behind
I hide in pointless agony
I've fought to get out
Sadly I'll survive
I'm sorry I'm alive
I cry the loss of a fight but I never fought
I cry the loss of my mind
You were always in my thoughts

Bastard
You little creep
Time after time
You prove that you're blind
Listen
Don't try to think
Shut the fuck up
I want you to stop

Open your mind for my heart to enter
Embrace the wind
Don't fear the light
Open the gate - The battle can start
Embrace my sin
Or get out of my sight

You will kneel before it
My shining star
Won't it mean shit?

Force fed
With your commands
You nag and you nag
You'll kneel and you'll beg
Please don't
Just listen to me
Hear what I say
This is the way

Open your mind for my heart to enter
Embrace the wind
Don't fear the light
Open the gate - The battle can start
Embrace my sin
Or get out of my sight

You will kneel before it
My shining star
Won't it mean shit?

No more
I'll bite the hand
Enough is enough This got to stop
It's over
I am my own
No longer your slave
Free to walk away

You will kneel before it
My shining star
Won't it mean shit?

You will kneel before it
My shining star
Won't it mean shit?

Bloodlust, frenzy,
Hatred, fire
To you they're empty
You're the liar

Too much pain (Change the channel)
The truth is hard (Close your eyes)
Let it rain (Wiped away)
Too much pain (Too much pain)
Too much pain (Change the channel)
Too much pain (Close your eyes)
Too much pain (Wiped away)
Too much pain (Too much pain)

Sleep tight, deny
Leave us behind
The voice gets to loud Find your way out

Information streams feeding you with hate
A nightmare in your dreams blackens your portrait
Pictures of the world move before your eyes
The dying will get heard where nobody survives

Sleep like a child
Don't weep, don't cry
The pain's not from here
Don't weep, don't fear

Too much pain (Change the channel)
The truth is hard (Close your eyes)
Let it rain (Wiped away)
Too much pain (Too much pain)
Too much pain (Change the channel)
Too much pain (Close your eyes)
Too much pain (Wiped away)
Too much pain (Too much pain)

The ghosts are just TV
They're not here, they're not free
As long as we sleep
They can't come, so don't weep

Information streams feeding you with hate
A nightmare in your dreams blackens your portrait
Pictures of the world move before your eyes
The dying will get heard where nobody survives

Wake up
Child of denial
Fight back
Tonight we'll shine

Information streams feeding you with hate
A nightmare in your dreams blackens your portrait
Pictures of the world move before your eyes
The dying will get heard where nobody survives

Fly out of your cage
Leave eighteen years of pain behind
And feel the wind under your wings
Victim of life, you're free now
Breathe the clean air - sweet smell of death
Sundown is here - Another one rises

Pain, sweet pain
You're too much for me
Pain, sweet pain
You'll set me free

Nothing is to stay
You wander on
You couldn't wait
Please wait for me
I ask the stars:
Where have you gone?
What's in the next world?
Will we ever meet again?

Like a bird flying to the moon
You never reached it - Your hunger was your doom
Doomed to live or forced to die
In this cage you were entrapped
What did you see when your dreams held you wake?
What did you say to the ghosts in your head?

Pain, sweet pain
You're too much for me
Pain, sweet pain
You'll set me free

You drowned in your own blood and tears
Once you have jumped there is no way back

All these illusions, trying to make it right
But it feels wrong, wrong to say goodbye
My beloved stranger - Nobody knew what happened
I hope you can tell me later
I don't mourn your death - I just don't know why
You were always close but still so far away

Pain, sweet pain
You're too much for me
Pain, sweet pain
You'll set me free

Nothing is to stay
You wander on
You couldn't wait
Please wait for me
I ask the stars:
Where have you gone?
What's in the next world?
Will we ever meet again?
