01. Dying Embers

It's the hour of fading light, embers of my life
Save me from myself
You touched the fire and took it out of me
The flame is gone for all eternity

Nothing can hurt me, I'm safe within your grace
Whatever comes our way you will protect me
You gave me something more precious than this life
You touched the fire and took it out of me

After all I still believe in life and blood relation
I know I'm drained of both
Now it's all the same to me
I'm safe in isolation surrounded by your love

With a silent whisper you came from the dark
Left me with splinters of my shattered heart
With a silent whisper you came from the dark
Left me with splinters of my shattered heart

After all I still believe in life and blood relation
I know I'm drained of both
Now it's all the same to me
I'm safe in isolation surrounded by your love

02. (I Just) Died In Your Arms

Music & lyrics by Nick Van Eede
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said,
I just died in your arms tonight
I should've walked away.

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me,
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary, it sits on the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cat's in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this.

Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said,
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away.

Is there any just cause for feeling like this
On the surface I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again.
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake.
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times.

Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said,
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away.

It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over, the moment is gone
I followed my hands, not my head,
I know I was wrong.

Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said,
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away.

03. Too Much Ain't Enough

All I need is anything that makes me feel alive
To end this pain and suffering that others may call life
And when the wave comes crushing in I cry from within

Too much ain't enough

I reach the peak of ecstasy
My way back down begins
So much for the luxury
It's payback time for sins

Another wasted youth
Another way to get kicks to escape the truth

Too much ain't enough

I don't regret
I won't forget
The vivid high I never thought that I could get

The highest high
The lowest low
The mirror lies and never lets me go

Too much ain't enough

Too much ain't enough
It's not enough
Too much ain't enough
It's not enough

Too much ain't enough
Too much ain't enough
Too much ain't enough
Too much ain't enough
Too much ain't enough
Too much ain't enough

04. The Unknown II

So much has changed since the last time we met
Dreams turned to ashes in the bonfire of regret
The bringer of misfortune, the other one inside me
Has finally taken over the one with sanity

Nothing else but trouble, nothing left to gain
All I want a painless end to conclude this endless pain

Tomorrow the unknown awakens me from dreaming
Tells me there's no smile that really has a meaning
Tomorrow the unknown awakens me from dreaming
Tells me there's no smile that really has a meaning

So much has changed since the last time we met
Dreams turned to ashes in the bonfire of regret
Nothing else but trouble, nothing left to gain
All I want a painless end to conclude this endless pain

Tomorrow the unknown awakens me from dreaming
Tells me there's no smile that really has a meaning
Tomorrow the unknown awakens me from dreaming
Tells me there's no smile that really has a meaning...

05. Jaded

I never meant to hurt you so, but here I am again
Embracing someone else
It never seems to change

I know my heart belongs to you but it yearns for someone else
I cannot help myself

I've begged you to forgive me a thousand times before
This time it's over, don't want me anymore

And you took your things and at the door you waved a quick goodbye
There is nothing left to say, just bitter tears to cry

Living a lie ain't easy
Truth comes out and kills our jaded love
I want you to forgive me
Find a way to save this jaded love

Living a lie ain't easy
Truth comes out and kills our jaded love
I want you to forgive me
Find a way to save this jaded love

I never meant to hurt you so but here I am again
Embracing someone else
It never seems to change

I know my heart belongs to you
But it yearns for someone else
I can't resist the taste
I can help myself

Ain't easy living a lie

Living a lie ain't easy
Truth comes out and kills our jaded love
I want you to forgive me
Find a way to save this jaded love...

06. Fall Strains

Where were you when I needed someone to help me ease my pain?
Where were you when I needed comfort to get me through the day?

There was no one to hold my hand when I couldn't sleep at night
No one there to understand
Too scared to sleep 'til daylight

Another night without you
Another night of fear
Another night of loneliness
Wishing you were here

Can't find the light without you
Darkness calls me near to another sleepless night
Whishing you were here

Years we shared have lost their meaning
Without you by my side
Memories of all the good times bring tears in my eyes

Another night without you
Another night of fear
Another night of loneliness
Wishing you were here

Can't find the light without you
Darkness calls me near to another sleepless night
Whishing you were here

07. Forever

Misery loves company, and you're the chosen one
It doesn't let you go until it loves you to numb

You were searching for something
Something you don't know
You've been lost so long
Cannot find the light anymore

Remember the days
Your heart felt sympathy and love
Now your mind is dull
So lifeless

Whatever you do, wherever you go
Misery will follow
Needs you everyday like a desert needs the rain
Your sinner soul keeps it alive

You try to run away
Away from your hell
From your inner cell
What you never thought to know

Misery loves company, and you're the chosen one
It doesn't let you go
Now it loves you to numb

Remember the days
Your heart felt sympathy and love
Now your mind is dull
So lifeless

Whatever you do, wherever you go
Misery will follow
Needs you everyday like a desert needs the rain
Your sinner soul keeps it alive

Whatever you do, wherever you go
Misery will follow
Needs you everyday like a desert needs the rain
Your sinner soul keeps it alive

08. Años De Dolor

A shattered man, that's what I am
It never was the plan
Drowned in lies with despise
Bitterness is no surprise

I lost my future, lost my hope
Day by day I try to cope
Emptiness spreads from within
The walls are closing in

Just ignore me I don't care
If I die I am prepared

In years of hate I lost my everything
The only way is down
In tears of rage I drown my every sin
In tears of rage I am

Empty walls keep staring back
Best friends that I ever had
To hell with all your sympathy
It's all the same to me

Just ignore me I don't care
If I die I am prepared

Now it's too late
The walls are closing in

In years of hate I lost my everything
The only way is down
In tears of rage I drown my every sin
In tears of rage I flow

In years of hate I lost my everything
The only way is down
In tears of rage I drown my every sin
In tears of rage I flow... drown, rage I drown

09. Silence Tells More...

She's by the window alone, silently crying
Mourning the love that is gone
Desperately denying

Tears run down her face like the rain
Been crying now for days
Plaintive need to let go

I tried to tell you something more but my silence tells you more
I don't love you anymore

I tried to tell you something more but my silence tells you more
I don't love you anymore

Her blood runs down the drain like a river
Gave in to the pain
Strongest of emotions

I tried to tell you something more but my silence tells you more
I don't love you anymore...

She realize the other side, no need to cry
It's all behind the frost tears that tear his eye...

Silence tells more...

10. Spineless

No one here to take away the pain I'm going through
No one here to share this moment
Empty walls stare back at me, laughing at my pain
I can't face reality
Can't face tomorrow

I've bid my last farewell
I've shed my final tear and cast aside the fear
I've bid my last farewell
I've shed my final tear and cast aside the fear

The scars were never healed
I have hidden my despair when I pulled the shortest straw
No one even cared
Empty walls stare back at me
Laughing at my pain
I can't face reality
Can't face tomorrow
There's nothing more to give

I've bid my last farewell
I've shed my final tear and cast aside the fear
I've bid my last farewell
I've shed my final tear and cast aside the fear

12. Behind These Walls

Walking in the garden, picking flowers in the sun
Madeleine is on her own
She can't see any of the other nuns
Is she blind or is it her mind?
What's going on?
What's going on behind these walls...

All the birds are singing, but Madeleine can't hear their song
Memories of screams in the night
Moaning coming from below where the prison cells are cold
She does not understand what's going on

Now the bell is ringing, communion time has come again
Is Father Picard really a friend?
The Bible in her hand reminds her of the wine
The sour tasting blood of Christ
What's going on? What's going on behind these walls....

What's going on? Behind these walls....
