02. Futility
Breaking wood beneath my feet
I am standing on a fragile bridge The abyss is indescribably deep Only ledges could catch my fall Something forces me to wait right here I'd rather run away if I could Seconds seem to be hours These hollow beams are bent like blades of grass They'd never have carried weight before The railings are destroyed I'm just a step away Is this my life? Is this my life? Wherever I've gone The end was always The futility of delight Whatever I've said In my words was always The futility of delight Now the bridge is breaking apart I cannot get a hold of anything There's nothing within my reach at all I'm falling weightlessly Just a step too far This is my life This is my life Wherever I've gone The end was always The futility of delight Whatever I've said In my words was always The futility of delight 03. New Day
I walk along an endless path, it's the same as yesterday
Nothing's changed and nothing's evolved anywhere Too many voices call your name And my own is much too weak To be heard, to be felt And I'm dragged down the waterfall Disarmed, defenseless All the flowers are withered And everything has turned to gray The rain can't wash away my tears Into the deepest marsh I falling And my struggling only helps To force my suffocation And I'm dragged down the waterfall Disarmed, defenseless When I saw you for the last time Your eyes were cold and dull Why can't you stay with me forever Why did you have to go Oh, you were wilting much too fast Your scars will never heal I never knew how much I love you Can I wake the dead Can I cry if I could Will the sun ever shine on you again Can you see me lying here Don't you see me hiding here It's too deep, much too deep to cry And I'm dragged down the waterfall Disarmed, defenseless 04. A Better God
Your eyes reflect the surface of the water
Your lipstick is smeared The reed moves quietly in the wind And you alone with yourself For the first time alone with yourself You've always been waiting for that moment To answer all your questions yourself The shore at the edge of the world seems too far And you drink the blood of life And you vomit God - give me another life I'm praying for a better life God - give me another life I'm praying for a better life The clouds merge to the image of your fate Your faith belongs to no one anymore You're blind 'cos you are dead 'Cos you were blind of trust But your eyes are closed now Forever God - give me another life I'm praying for a better life God - give me another life I'm praying for a better... God - give me another life I'm praying for a better life God - give me another life I'm praying for a better... god A better god... 05. Intransigence
You're the guide to my tomorrow
You're the anchor of my heart but I can't follow 'Cos my bones will break apart When I try to get up for another start I will suffocate again Leave me lying on your pillow Dance with me until no morning ever comes And my hair is turning gray Like a dying leaf in autumn always fades In a wilting garden Intransigence of time Another time I heard you calling, But you are too far away Intransigence of time Another time I felt you breathing, But you are too far away In my dreams your face is burning Your eyes reveal an everlasting fear I try to take your hands But when I almost touched them - they disappeared All my hope is drowning We drive the blade into our bodies We'll be united 'til the end of our time Even if our bodies part And we're a 100,000 miles apart again We'll always be together Intransigence of time Another time I heard you calling, But you are too far away Intransigence of time Another time I felt you breathing, But you are too far away Another time I heard you calling Another time I felt you breathing, But you are too far away 06. Torn Being
I wake up, it's dark
It's cold, but I'm not freezing I don't know where I am, don't know how I came here I try to get up, but I'm paralyzed The last snow is melting, it's march It's always cold in march, isn't it? I'm trying hard to remember What happened yesterday, or was it the day before I see blood beside me and on my hands I see your face It's raining heavier and life is coming back to my body I try to find the moon, but it's too cloudy I try to move - and I can move I try to make out where I am There's a lake with silent waves and there are trees I see your body with dislocated limbs And I see your face "My shivering hands vainly try to touch your face Something holds me back approaching your face..." Your eyes are open, are you crying? But these tears are rainwater filling your eyes You don't move, you don't answer, you don't react at all It smells like burnt rubber, I see a car And I remember it was ours And now the fog is clearing Very slowly I begin to understand Begin to understand We wanted to end our lives Of sorrows and agony We wanted to escape And now you're dead Now you're dead and I'm alive Why do I live when you're dead Why should I live when you're dead 07. Courageous
Your wrinkled hands reveal the time
You can't stop anymore The expression of you eyes is still courageous Your lips are pale, your skin is white I thought you'd never fall You're lying motionless in bed Courageous inside Flies dance around the same old lie I'm giving up your shape Oh, I was startled by the words You breathed in your despair You've lost your trust in your own world - in living In times when you were young and strong You could embrace the world You've been so fearless and so sure Courageous inside Flies dance around the same old lie I'm giving up your shape "But our dreaming was too far beyond reality Another time we had to see - we are creeping worms in space Too many disappointments made me disintegrate I'm losing hold, losing control - and my world collapsed" It seemed that life came back to you Your eyes were blazing bright Immortal power seized your body I left you when you fell asleep You wanted to be alone And now I'm sitting next to you You're still courageous inside Flies dance around the same old lie I'm giving up your shape "Sometimes I'm burning in a fire of lies and agony These waves will never subside and my world will disappear I don't believe in human souls, I had to bury warmth In endless fights against myself my world collapsed" 08. The Vortex
The dust in your photograph
Reveals the time gone by These days seem so far away Why did I return Your rooms didn't change a lot But the things have lost your soul Your scent was replaced by cold Which is seized my body The vortex was much too fast But we weren't afraid of falling The blindness of fatal dreams Remains The door opens and you're standing there Your hair is wet from rain You're looking scared and distraught But you can't speak anymore A window shutters and you laugh Your face is so unreal Your eyes reveal the senseless fight You'll never escape The vortex was much too fast But we weren't afraid of falling The blindness of fatal dreams Remains 09. Awakening
This is the day I've always been awaiting
A ray of sun comes into my room The sleepless nights of former years are ending And every day falls into a gloom Where is the torment in my brain - it's so silent Where is the screaming of my soul I can't stand it anymore I'm drowning I'll be dancing with your soul - in our ancient way I'll be kissing you today - and our hope is granted Every minute I am wasting here is agonizing pain Why should I hesitate to leave I'm sick of escaping from that cold - I'm still running The torn thoughts destroyed my mind The emptiness causes fear and isolation Transience seems to be a lie I'll be dancing with your soul - in our ancient way I'll be kissing you today - and our hope is granted Every minute I am wasting here is agonizing pain Why should I hesitate to leave 10. Vagrants In Space
Contaminated ground beneath our feet
We're walking slowly but hand in hand We don't care to stumble, we don't care to fall We're too far away from earth We don't feel our aching feet anymore After years and years of running The long road we covered seems to end right here We're so close, but too far There is something better Something free and new There's another home for the lost Where our dreams come true We're vagrants in space We don't care about the dreams around us Vagrants in space We don't need deceitfulness to live We have tried too long, we have died too long We have cried too long at all We believed too long, understood too long Now our time has come There is something better Something free and new There's another home for the lost Where our dreams come true We're vagrants in space We don't care about the dreams around us Vagrants in space We don't need deceitfulness to live 11. Calling The Sun
Another time I've tried to walk along this icy way
Another time I've lost my balance When my eyes turned gray Too many screams don't let me fall asleep Too many dreams that I have buried deep inside Calling the sun My whole world collapsed last night My star can't shine tonight Another time I've tried to walk along this icy way Another time I've lost my balance When my eyes turned gray Another day began to dawn in my mind Another day without a sun to shine Calling the sun My whole world collapsed last night My star can't shine tonight All the things I ever knew Seem to be without importance For my intent for another start Go away from here Just go away from here My sun might shine for you Calling the sun My whole world collapsed last night My star can't shine tonight 12. Exile
Contradiction in my thoughts is the barrier of my life
I cannot jump that nigh to overcome Too many hidden ways - their destination is the same Which way is wrong and which is right Sometimes I wish I had a choice To end or to begin Sometimes I wish I could live on my own But nothing's breaking through the walls inside All the dreams remain behind All the voices fade away I'm falling into nothingness of life I don't care about the time I don't need to understand There's no confusion in my mind but the clarity is gone I hope you'll never ask about tomorrow My abandoned ship is carried by the current I cannot fight against it and I cannot force it Sometimes I wish I had a choice To end or to begin Sometimes I wish I could live on my own But nothing's breaking through the walls inside All the dreams remain behind All the voices fade away I'm falling into nothingness of life I don't care about the time I don't need to understand 13. The Cycle
Seal the chapters of your life, but they'll be immortal
Feel the scares you'll never seen on your skin Try to remember who you are, you'll never realize All the failures in the past come again Dreams are shattered Life has won again The endless cycle You have lost again |
