02. Look At Me Now

Look at me now
I'm somewhat broken
And misplaced

Look at me now
My mind was stolen
By your games

Look at me now
I'm somewhat broken
And misplaced

Look at me now
My mind was stolen
By your games

There's no helping hand
There's a deal written on the sand
There's no hiding place
The devil works in mysterious ways

Now you need to know
That things are buried but not erased
There's no hiding place
The devil works in mysterious ways

Well look at me now
I'm far away been broken
I'm not broken anymore

Look at me now
My mind is not stolen
It's not stolen anymore

03. On Fire

Walk me through the broken glass - I'm not bleeding
Toss me to the fire and to the sun
Drag me through the nine circles of suffering
Feed us to your demons as they come

Your words are paper leaves on fire
Can't you see how they're eating us alive?
I'm the flames in need to get higher
Nothing can smother it this time

The sun goes down so that we can see the stars

Come closer to the fire and let us get lost
Into it's movement on the walls
We can not deny this feeling of warmth
As we watch things dissolve

Your words are paper leaves on fire
Can't you see how they're eating us alive?
I'm the flames in need to get higher
Nothing can smother it this time

Walk me through the broken glass - I'm not bleeding
Toss me to the fire and to the sun
Follow me through the five stages of grief
Lead us to the death by thousand cuts

Your words are paper leaves on fire
Can't you see how they're eating us alive?
I'm the flames in need to get higher
Nothing can smother it this time

04. The Way We Wanted

Don't you feel the fire?
The devil's dancing on your left and right shoulder
Can't you hear the sirens?
They play those damned notes over and over and over

Now what is left
Will never disappear
But what is dead
Will not be compensated

During these countless hours
You feel like nothing matters
Are we unpowered?
Could there be something better?

Tearing down the memories
Holding on to what matters
Ripping off the misery
Holding on to what matters

What to say to a man who has it all?
How to fight against the forces that are making him fall?

The way we wanted
This is not the way we wanted
The way we wanted
You know this ain't the way we wanted

Don't you feel the fire?
The devil's dancing on your left and right shoulder
Can't you hear the sirens?
They play those damned notes over and over

During these countless hours
Are we unpowered?
During these countless hours
Are we unpowered?
Could there be something better?

Now what is left
Will never disappear

05. Under The Knife

Words - Spat out in anger
Hatred - Now let it linger
Bitter - Is the taste in my mouth
Disaster - I need to let it outAll this time I was boiling over
Contemplating the things that I'm afraid of
And tonight I am showing thunder
Recreating the world of hurt again

Fighting against myself
Cutting you out, out of my mind

All that I had was desire
It's gone under my knife
And where we were
Was a place much higher
It's all under my knife

And what is left is our world on fire
It's now under my knife
Now where are you? I am so tired
All has gone under my knife

What I had was desire - It's gone
Under my knife
Now where we were was a place much higher - It's all
Under my knife
And what is left is our world on fire - It's now
Under my knife
Now where are you? I am so tired - All has gone
Under my knife

Knife, toss yourself under my knife
Join me under my knife
Toss yourself under my knife

06. First Sign

First sign of weakness
First time I saw you there
Broke my image of perfection

First sign of helplessness
First time you did not care
Shattered the feeling of protection

I've seen your heavens fall
And watched you in a moment of despair
I've seen your heavens fall
And watched you broken and praised
I've seen your heavens fall
And watched you been swallowed by the flames

First sign of weakness
First sign of weakness

First sign of weakness
When we had nothing to spare
Made us hunger for more and more
The time for selfishness came with signs of end
And did tear us apart again

I've seen your heavens fall
And watched you broken and praised
I've seen your heavens fall
and watched you been swallowed by the flames

First sign of weakness
First sign of weakness
Broken and praised

I've seen you heavens fall
And watched you in a moment of despair
I've seen your heavens fall
And watched you been swallowed by the flames

Your heavens fall

07. Freaked

That wasn't joke
I tried to hold on
And Im going on
Still without fate

Days are burning marks
Marks of my life
Just take your time now
Im still alive

Understand what is missing
Scandalous - is it charming?
In Murdello we live
The place for the freaked ones
'Cause of Murdello we feel
Eyes blind evermore

That wasn't joke
I tried to hold on
And Im going on
Still out of my mind

And days are burning marks
Marks of my life
Just take your time now
Im still alive

Time washes the time
Days as seconds
Face the sky that cries you free
That cries you free

08. Electronic

Electronic manufacture
Gives us the license to
Kill by pushing the buttons
And our hands stay clean

Virtual sexuality
Keeps us from meeting our soul-mates
By deleting our desire to find
A new race is born
Electronic

By Watching their faces you can find the vision
By searching the meanings you will find the way
Which is, electronic

We kill our darlings and reject our past
We kill our memories and reject the truth

This is, electronic

Virtual sexuality
Keeps us from meeting our soul-mates
By deleting our desire to find
A new race is born
Electronic

Electronic manufacture
Electronic sexuality
Electronic way to live
Electronic universe
Electronic way to disappear

Upload me into outer-space
Show me a shortcut to the grace
Keep me away from this nonsense
Cause I prefer something else

09. Hell Is Around The Corner

At this hour of deception
The world just got black
Oh I can't see the sky

No truth, no dimensions
Just fill my mind
With your lies, lies, lies

At the moment of redemption
The sky was still dark
But I could follow the stars

They got my attention
I broke from my path
And reached for the ones too far

How deep is the sea that keeps on drowning me?
How thick is the ground crumbling under me?

Hell is around the corner
It keeps on waiting
And will never sleep

I know I must be stronger
No time for drowning
As I beat the hell out of me

Hell is around the corner
It keeps on waiting
To crawl inside of me

Inside of me, Inside of me
While it keeps on waiting
Inside of me, Inside of me
Hell is around the corner

How deep is the sea that keeps on drowning me?
How thick is the ground crumbling under me?

At the moment of redemption
I could follow the stars
They got my attention
I reached for the ones too far
At the hour of deception
I couldn't see the sky
No truth, no dimensions
Keep feeding me with lies, lies,lies
How deep is the sea?
How black is the sky?
Why won't they let me be?
How deep is the sea?
They're crawling inside of me

10. Afraid Of Tomorrow

In our eyes can be seen the color of desperation
Our posture hides the marks of submission
We are pushing ourselves to the limit of devastation

Look around
Where are you?
What have we done?

What happened to the world we once embraced?
What happened to the changes we used to face?

What happened to the world we once embraced?
Do we miss those times or are we afraid of tomorrow?
What happened to the changes we used to face?
Do we miss those times or are we afraid of tomorrow?

Look at their ways
Look behind their eyes
Don't their actions seem too synchronized?
You know that something must have gone wrong
When we're singing that same old song

It tells about our mistakes and buried rage
It's the anthem of the long-gone race
About who was wrong and who was right
Where to find the next thing to fight

Back against the wall
No way to turn
You should have never opened that door
One more day to come, one more hour to pass
We could not find a way for this moment to last

Back against the wall
No way to turn
You should have never opened that door
You know that something must have gone wrong
When we're singing that same old song

11. The Time Is Now

Running to the edge of this world
Unable to carry nothing with us

Believing we won't crash and burn
Together nothing will hurt

Searching until unable to go on
Watching light after light fading away

Crawling until unable to hold on
There always seem to be things we are still yearning for

The time is now
Now, our time is now

Running
Our time is now
Believing
Our time is now

12. Syviin Vesiin

Sinua katselen
Taas veitsen terällä astelet
Piikit lävistävät rintasi
Silmäsi huutavat lisää

Sinua katselen
taas syviin vesiin astelet
kylmäksi itsesi valelet
etkä tunne mitään
Ainoa tietäjä on kääntänyt päänsä
Tästä vääryyden hyhmästä täytyy nyt päästä
Et anna itsesi elää - Olet pakotettu löytämään
Kapina, tuska ja häpeä - taas oksennat märkää hiekkaa

Ajasta ahdinkoon
Ja isästä itään
Kaivoit hautasi häpeään
Etkä saavuttanut mitään

Taas hukuit varjoihin
Katosit alle pinnan
Takaisin pimeään
Syvään veteen kylmään

Ajasta ahdinkoon
Takaisin pimeään

minua katselet
taas syviin vesiin astelen
kylmäksi itseni valelen
enkä tunne mitään
