01. Intro

[Instrumental]

02. Final Eclipse

Light fades away and the shadows take its place
A natural phenomena like nothing ever seen
Result of any observable event
From the interaction between light and matter

Don't believe what your eyes see!

Prophet Muhammad described zodiacal light
In the five daily prayers - to be the false dawn
Viciously lurking beyond the horizon
Reflected - Refracted
Reflected - Refracted
Sunlight Scattered by space dust

Nothing will ever last
Nothing will ever be
Eternity and life together is hypocrisy
Nothing will ever last
No one will ever be
Ready to give all up for
The final eclipse

Feeling so alive when I don't believe my eyes
See the universe collide in a fracture of my mind
As the galaxy itself is falling from the skies
Solar winds bless me the northern lights
I fall to my knees - this geomagnetic storm
In the earth's theromsphere brings emissions of photons
Ionized collision

Earth shadow is an atmospheric phenomenom
Dark band, clear sky - look to the horizon
Always in the dead of night and visible at twilight
Sunset - sunrise
Sunset - sunrise

Nothing will ever last
Nothing will ever be
Eternity and life together is hypocrisy
Nothing will ever last
No one will ever be
Ready to give all up for
The final eclipse

All is illusions - the final eclipse awaits
All is illusions - the final eclipse awaits
Ravaging the world as we know it
Don't see the light - don't see the way
It's burning through the shadow of our moon
It's all too late
All hope is gone - end of the life we lived too long

Nothing will ever last
Nothing will ever be
Eternity and life together is hypocrisy
Nothing will ever last
No one will ever be
Ready to give all up for
The final eclipse

03. Arachnida

Crawling in the shadows
Crawling down crawling down
Crawling in the shadows
Crawling down from the nest in the night
Darkness hides
All concealed from the world
Fallen asleep - all alone in the dark
Free to wonder off in the night

Spin a web - spin it wide
spin a web of deadly lies
Watch yourself - you must hide
Watch yourself or you will die

Arachnophobia

Stalking down the walls
Stalking down to hidde in your sheet
Silence is a virtue in the mist
REM sleep - a sign of fear twisting crystal dreams
Progressive nightmares
I taste your salty skin in the night

Spin a web - spin it wide
Spin a web of deadly lies
Watch yourself - you must hide
Watch yourself or you will die

Arachnophobia

Paralyzed - stunned by fear
Stare into cold black eyes
Fangs revealed - bite of death
Injecting what seems to be a
Ruthless medicine called

Neurotoxine, liquid PHTX3
Live for spreading the disease
A deadly fantasy becomes reality
Venomous terror, venomous pain
Killing at night, lurking at day
Venomous terror, venomous pain
Endless aggression stalking the pray

Spin a web - spin it wide
Spin a web of deadly lies
Watch yourself - you must hide
Watch yourself or you will die

Arachnophobia
Arachnophobia

Paralyzed - stunned by fear
Stare into cold black eyes
Fangs revealed - bite of death
Injecting what seems to be a
Ruthless medicine called

Neurotoxine, liquid PHTX3
Live for spreading the disease
A deadly fantasy becomes reality
Venomous terror, venomous pain
Killing at night, lurking at day
Venomous terror, venomous pain
Endless aggression stalking the pray

Spin a web - spin it wide
Spin a web of deadly lies
Watch yourself - you must hide
Watch yourself or you will die

Arachnophobia
Arachnophobia

04. For The Fallen

Sitting all alone by the door in 1945
Waiting for her children to return
It's been so long now
So many winters have passed
Without the slightes sign of life

Calling from the front
Calling in - Calling out
Calling from the fronr
Calling home
My letter was not sent
And I dont dare to even hope
When all is gone then nothing's left
The pressure's on - it's so intense

Germany to France and from Paris to Berlin
From the sores of Normandy we brought the war
It followed us close and we always brought 'em hell
No matter what they did we always endured it

Lock it up - suck it up
Don't ever go to war with us
We're bringing all the power in the world
And we don't take no shit
So you better think twice before you roll the dice
'Cause the snake eyes is craving your lives

Remember what I did for you
Remember what you didn't do for me

Every now and then
This feeling inside
Open up the wounds
And let it out

Every now and then
I get lost in time
Forget myself - hope
To take back my life

I count the hours passing by

1 year at the front
2 years at the front

3 years coming up - at the front
I only serve the front
And I don't care what others say
'Cause they don't know a fucking thing
Of what it's like to fight for your life

With a cross in my hand
And with hope in my heart
I maintain a strong belief
That this willl change the world
And if not at least I tried
Now I know That
United we fight and divided we fall

Remember what I did for you
Remember what you didn't do for me

Every now and then
This feeling inside
Open up the wounds
And let it out

Every now and then
I get lost in time
Forget myself - hope
To take back my life

All I get is hate from all sides
The only thing I did
Was to win your fight
In honor there is hope
But this hope is not for me
You ripped me from pride
And stripped me from my life

Hell
You should try what it's like
To be in hell
You should try what it's like
To burn in hell

At last I found my way back home
In 1946 I returned to the door
Where my journey began with a step outside
But the door was locked and on it was a sign

No one is alive - I can't believe she died

Every now and then
This feeling inside
Open up the wounds
And let it out

Every now and then
I get lost in time
Forget myself - hope
To take back my life

Every now and then
When the rain is pouring down
It hurts my bones and
I wish you were here

Every now and then
I need you near
To remind myself
I lived my life without hate

05. Children Of Rwanda

One hundred days of aggression
Three months in the absence of light
Cruelty and violence as obsessions
A conflict causing a millions of crimes

A land torn into pieces united by hate

Let the blood spill and be flowing in the streets
Creating a river of guilt
Leading the nation into war against its own
Demanding everyone to search and kill

All ist the enemy - It is as simple as this
Now the world is mad
Hunger - terror - blind corner of the eye
Executing the most dreadful - genocide of our time

Children of Rwanda left to die
One million bodies piled high
Rise from the ashes and obey the call
An empire stands and an empire falls

Ashes to ashes - in a civilized world
Blood for blood - spilled as it turns
Not a day passes by
Without the innocent getting
Violated for some blood-dripping cash

Nothing is forbidden in the essence of a lie
Eyes of glass see all - you can't hide now
Sixteen years have passed but I will never forget
The crimes they did - the lives they took
The day you let them

Take away my son - kill my loved ones
Shatter all my life
A broken heart drained for life
A broken heart drained for blood
Empty words when you said that
Nothing could be done

Children of Rwanda left to die
One million bodies piled high
Rise from the ashes and obey the call
An empire stands and an empire falls

Ashes to ashes - in a civilized world
Blood for blood - spilled as it turns
Not a day passes by
Without the innocent getting
Violated for some blood-dripping cash

Darkness in my soul leaves my body cold
I can't see why I shouldn't commit suicide

Ashes to ashes - in a civilized world
Blood for blood - spilled as it turns
Not a day passes by
Without the innocent getting
Violated for some blood-dripping cash

06. Gemstones

Fractured minerals lurking as quartz in the deeps
Hiding from the world - waiting in their sleep
Silicon - oxygen harvested to
Satisfy needs - satisfy greed
Never ending heartless quest for indulgence cause
Nature's free - money me

Ruby, diamonds, emerald, crystal
Jade, jasper, gold, pearls,
Silver, amber, opal, garnet,
Coral, topaz, xenon, sapphire

These are the words that lead to aggression
Weak souls react to what blind their hearts
Emptiness - feel depressed
Now inject - to release the press
Why pay the price
When you can get what you want for free
Invest in me and exploit your oppurtunities

Digging hard and deep to achieve what the stockholders need
Financial support to breath fire in machinery
You must never feel ashamed to get in the game
Satisfy needs - satisfy greed
Never ending heartless quest for indulgence cause
Nature's free - money me

Ruby, diamonds, emerald, crystal
Jade, jasper, gold, pearls,
Silver, amber, opal, garnet,
Coral, topaz, xenon, sapphire

No more words that can lead to aggression
Not for the rich and minority of man
Religiously on the knees
Bow your head and receive the
Diadem of death - no time for a crown of thorns
What the hell do you take me for
Give it to the poor

Deep in my soul
Is a prism shaped heart
Containing no blood
Beating by the will of my mind

I rest my head all far away
Escape the pain and live for today
By the shore of a sandy beach
I'll live my dream - the golden fantasy

When I lay down to rest
I feel a knife in my chest
It's not a sign of consciousness
It's a fully grown cardiac arrest
It chills down my spine
As I feel the hand of time
I don't want to leave what's mine
But now it's time for me to

Die, die, die

The words are ringing in my head
All I will be ever forced to regret
Are all the things that I have done
Will not matter when I'm gone

Deep in my soul
Is a prism shaped heart
Containing no blood
Beating by the will of my mind

I rest my head all far away
Escape the pain and live for today
By the shore of a sandy beach
I'll live my dream - the golden fantasy

Fractured gemstones
The soul will blast away
Fractured gemstones
It was more than you could take

07. Dark Matter

South polar region of titan
Atmospheric haze of frozen nitrogen
Liquid hydrocarbon lakes
Still horizon on a core of silicate

Radioactive decay of subatomic particles
Initiates the process known as hydrogen fusion
All light is but a specular reflection
On a natural satellite so dense

Wrath - extreme power
Channelized by dark matter
Intervention in the planetary ring
Shepherd moons and shadow gravity
Existing and ruling in the gap
We cannot see

Radioactive decay of subatomic particles
Initiates the process known as hydrogen fusion
Stellar magnetic field
Solar atmosphere
Staring into the sky

All is on a collision course
Since the dawn of time
Space itself has been
Twisting and turning our lives

Fade - ultimate fate of the universe
Ripped apart by phantom dark energy
Reaching out for the galaxies
Crush all into unbound particles
The end of our universe - state of singularity
The expansion rate becomes infinite

Quintessence - hypothetical form of dark energy
A fifth fundamental force in the fourth dimension
Repulsive - attractive
Dynamic in equation and in state because it changes over time
Silence is the one who rule a frameless world
Potential energy by kinetics

All is on a collision course
Since the dawn of time
Space itself has been
Twisting and turning our lives

The lives that live is nothing but
And illusion of what I see so clear
As I stand under the night sky at my home
And I think to myself
I need to lay my head down to rest
So that I keep dreaming about the stars

08. Last Night Of Solace

Legends are born at night
In darkness they are forged
Constant flow of soul
Curious turns of fate

The stories I was told
When I was young
And my mind was innocent
Still remain
Deeply rooted within my heart

Storms are raging on this open sea
A journey seeking to explore a world so far away
The course is set for knowledge and not for gold
Legend has it - unlimited wisdom awaits in a

World still unknown to our civilized kind
History tells us what we can hope to find
Roaring in the woods is an everlasting beat
Seeking its source legend tells us that we can all be free

Last night of solace
Last night of solace

The stars come crashing down
On me - the life I lived
Everything was leading me to this
A journey towards seeking inner peace
At last I found all I'm meant to be

Nature in the hand of my will
Time to decide what I feel

I must choose what it is I feel
The eyes I'm staring into won't let go until
And I scream

All of my time I've been here for nothing
All of my life I've been here for something
All of my time I've been looking for this life
Escaping the nothing

Reaching the shore of the fabled land
No one ever thought we would get this far
But now we're here and
All the impressions are too much for my mind
I need to seek out the grail for which that we came
Heading out in haste

A legend lives inside - it always will
Formed by the world in which it lives

Thunder nights following monsoon rain
Endlessly falling from a starless black heaven
Tropical climate is a force of its own
Which we who are left tries to survive
This nature is wild beyond my wildest dreams
At last I have arrived - the secret is mine

Last night of solace
Last night of solace

My kingdom will come and my heart will prevail
As I take a step towards the burning sun
Which is the miracle lying in this glade
And I fall unto my knees in shameless awe
This is under Heaven - this is above Hell - this is
The heart of nature shining on my soul
So blinding but yet enlightening in my mind
And now I know
I have to walk away and live in peace

09. Opium

I believe that Jesus existed
I believe he walked the grass on which we grace
A true philosopher that brought us inspiration
But don't you get me wrong
It's not about what I believe

I could say that religion is pure evil of this world
And I understand everything
I could say that all innocence died on the day I was born
And I would blame it on the Afghans and their

Opium - extracted with a knife
Opium - nectar of life creates
The drug that keeps the world turn

In this newfound world I am born again
Far away from what I know
As my parallel universe burst into flames
I will ride once again

Rise to stare you in the eyes
Tell you that all is gone
The fear we had before
Will not return again
Nothing will be the same
Come stand by me my friend
Nothing can shake the Earth on which we stand

Side by side
To face a bitter end
And then we close our eyes
Taking our last farewell

We know we had it all
We know we did our best
And now we take the step
Into the cosmic blast that's ending all there was

10. Fractured Dimension

A line is drawn, a stage is set
A battle is upon the curtain moves
The audience anxiously awaits
As the final act is starting to take place

Gracefully they're striking from above
Judgement blasting out of heaven
Hammering the anvil from the skies
Banging in the nails one by one

There's fire in the night

Trapped in an alien reality sentenced to die
Lost in a deserted world used to be mine
Searching for intelligent life to help get me out
Cover, no one must see me
Look to the sky and feel the fire
The fire which flames burn into my skin

Here is lighting skies
In the night
Falling from above
Hear the blast
Feel the clash
The hammer's striking hard

Shattering
All the things
Getting in its way
Splitting time
Fractured my
Dimension made of clay

Have mercy

What to do? I need someone
To help me find what I'm looking for.
Earth's core is overheating
And time's running out. life's nowhere to be found

Locked up
In a fractured dimension
Awaiting final death
Locked up
In a fractured dimension
Holding my last breath

Grains of sand keep me running blind
I can't seem to find the light
Leading me to inner peace
I want to be free

Locked up
Locked up
Locked up
Locked up

Locked up in a shattered dimension
Feelings of apprehension
Burning all the light and my energy
Needed to flee from the storm

Timeless is a fleeting hope
It's fleeting this dimension to escape
Euphoric master piece of heart
You're lying if you're saying you don't care

Locked up
Locked up
Locked up
Locked up

Fire
The fire which flames burn into my skin

Here is lighting skies
In the night
Falling from above
Hear the blast
Feel the clash
The hammer's striking hard

Shattering
All the things
Getting in its way
Splitting time
Fractured my
Dimension made of clay

Have mercy
Free my soul
