Quiet rest, with a rope around my neck
I assure you that the time is coming near
Fight them all, break the spirit and the bone
All I care for is what's happening to me
Pushed away and rejected from first day
Never felt that I am like everyone else
Architects of my intellect and flesh
Always pressured me towards the common frame
So now, chuck it down your throat

See me stand
Among the waves
The slaying hand
Still I am
The dream and fall
A hateful grace

Growing darkness, war within
Emptiness
Shadows alter my reflection
Desolation marks my skin
Loneliness
Visions alter my perception

In Isolation, I slowly drown
Vague destination
For words I shout

Victimized by my equals all my life
Consequently rival of the obedient mass
Parody, be submissive to act free
Be what dividend is telling you to be
Mockery of the essence of our kind
In the mirror you see nothing but a farce
Linger on, aiming far but ending close
Bearing excess as an instinct not a choice

Desire, downfall
Possessed by greed and numbers
The more we want it all
The worse we treat each other
Desire, downfall
Possessed by greed and numbers
The more we want it all
The worse we treat each other

Growing darkness, war within
Emptiness
Shadows alter my reflection
Desolation marks my skin
Loneliness
Visions alter my perception

In Isolation, I slowly drown
Vague destination
For words I shout

Come find me, I'm hiding in the deepest night
Far away from the riddle of time
Come down here, in twilight we can reunite
Sharing hopes of a wonderful life
You see me, you see me through your own disguise
Even blind still had you in sight
Dependent, addicted to your judging eyes
Cure my wounds and I'll stay by your side

So align with all the dreamers while we fight for our lives
It is hard to find a reason when you're heading for demise
We descend into deception and deny our given time
Still, we tremble when we're breathing

As we reach for the sun, we are burning our tongue
Drift in the sky with the clouds
At end of the line, on the edge of a knife
Diving into the divine
Icon shines, offering its soul to darkness
Falling down, heading for a life in torment

This time dear, this time I know we'll do it right
Dance evading the menacing scythe
Fall deeper and deeper in our precious lie
Death is us together at last

Walking away
From the home that we once shared
Still I know that we are
Undivided
Passing the days
All their words turned into blame
Who we are is denied
Uninvited
Uninvited

So align with all the dreamers while we fight for our lives
It is hard to find a reason when you're heading for demise
We descend into deception and deny our given time
Still we tremble when we're breathing

As we reach for the sun, we are burning our tongue
Drift in the sky with the clouds
At end of the line, on the edge of a knife
Diving into the divine
Icon shines, offering its soul to darkness
Falling down, heading for a life in torment

Leave your hope for truth, in the hands of faith
Let it lead the way
None of us is whole, madness shapes our fate
We're the ones to blame
The thinking mind is singled out
The fool is royalty and
Never will let you evolve

Our laments echo silent, hidden to their eyes
The wordless ghost of mankind
Tongueless criticize
The masses' voice is silent
Lost within our walls
They're waiting for a mistake
To provide our fall

Spirit of the water, let the sky fall down on me
Suffocate the fires lit to harm
Hear the prayers calling and embrace our fallen sons
Heal the open wound that bleeds the earth

Shepherd of the elite, guiding light of vain
Idol of its prey
Give your servants hope while they beg for change
And so they'll obey
Obey

We are made for dreaming, for wandering the earth
For what we have is all we need
Framed inside a system
Made to praise the tame
A leash to keep our will restrained
Drowning in the shadow of the wonders we have built
We are
The ashes and the seeds
Spirit of the water, let the rain pour down on me
We know
Our essence is the key

Spirit of the water, let the sky fall down on me
Suffocate the fires lit to harm
Hear the prayers calling and embrace our fallen sons
Heal the open wound that bleeds the earth

Gather around
All the things that we admire
To be here is where I wanted to be
To abandon who I was
Gather around
As we're pushed towards the fire
We've been tricked into believing that all
Starts and ends within our walls

Gather around
Holding close your sons and daughters
Promise them that we will all be alright
Let them know you love them all
Talk to yourself
Let your essence be the answer
While we chase the meaning of who we are
Navigating through a storm

Gather around and follow me
Something misled us to this
Wanting it all is poverty
Rich is the one who is free
Be the one who wakes up
All of those who roam

Shake your head to the sides, wake the animal inside of you
Run away from it all, let the wildness be your home
Plant a tree, kill a man, let your instincts be in charge of you
Where you walk, what you dream, measures who you really are

Turn to your friends
Let them face the one you mirror
And the demons that now rest on your side
They will leave you on your own

Fear to walk down the aisle
Feel the beat as you lead me on
From the sky to the mire
Shame and pride are the seed of harm
Stand aside from the shadows
Set your sight on the vein of life
Taste the blood of denial
Blow the candle with rotten breath

I am waiting to face the hunter
To feast on my flesh, torn asunder

The sinner will die
Parading down through the misty light
He becomes the night
Upon the sacred and hallowed ground
Away from the sun
In holy halls within walls
Where the light won't reach down
You give your seed to the frail

Seek advice from the elder
Falling down on your knees, repent
Be the crow and the angel
Be my curse to the end of time

Freedom lies in your own desires
Freedom lives in your will
(Freedom lies in your own desires
Freedom lives in your will)
Nothing's left as we're reaching higher
Lust is thicker than sin
(Nothing's left as we're reaching higher
Lust is thicker than sin)
The sacred leaves on the trees of hope
Malice poisoned our soul
A wicked halo deprived of love
Slithering to the cross

The sinner will die
Parading down through the misty light
He becomes the night
Upon the sacred and hallowed ground
Away from the sun
In holy halls within walls
Where the light won't reach down
You give your seed to the frail

In silence, isolated, trying to stand on your own
Naive and numb, you feed the leech that will feast off your blood
You wear indifference as cover to hide the demise
Build up your walls, fill up the glass, let it bury your cries

You're deceived by inner demons that were fed by your own hand
Shaded veils hide your perception, shooting nails into the heart

Still your mind, your soul will find peace
In the dream, you end and leave us
You'll awake without fear
And your thoughts, your whole will roam free

Submersed in draining silence, calmly inviting the curse
All debts and broken vows are fragments detached from our loss
The moonlight shone upon you staggering out in the cold
You tried to leave this journey, forcing your kin to behold

Still deceived by inner demons that were fed by your own hand
Shaded veils hide your perception, shooting nails into your head

Still your mind, your soul will find peace
In the dream you end and leave us
You'll awake without fear
And your thoughts, your whole will roam free

Still your heart, your mind will find peace
In this life all ends, you'll leave us
In your sleep, careless, you're falling
See my hopes dissolving

As I'm walking alone, I remember the times when we played here
Leaving a broken home, making sure we were whole and together
Every failure we shared, every night that we were forsaken
I would dream of a life far away from it all but you

All these words that I left unspoken
I will say when I meet you again
I see you but I can't feel your presence
I feel you but you're fading away

Time is wise and our wounds seem to heal to the rhythm of aging
But our past is a ghost fading out that at night it's still haunting
We are growing apart, still I know that inside you're aching
But the scars that we share will remind us of who we are

All these words that I left unspoken
I will say when I meet you again
I see you but I can't feel your presence
I feel you but you're fading away

Let it all wither
Let it all wither and let it go
Let it all wither
Let it all wither and let it go
Let it all wither
Let it all wither and let it go
Let it all wither
Let it all wither and let it go
Let it all wither
Let it all wither and let it go
Let it all wither

They promised this would be our home
They led us here, to rest our hearts
A shelter for the future born
To embrace peace and harvest hope

Divided from the ones we love
We saw them slay what we adore
The soil is dry, the water foul
There's only past where I came from

The ones we leave are left behind in need

For all I had, vanished
My hands will burn your walls
This is who I am, fallen
An icon of the loss

For all the fire
For all the fire

The sanctions that you force on us
Asphyxiate the overcome
Despair is built within our house
Breeding the weak to feed the strong

The thoughts you feed, you can't restrain
They'll turn to you and be your bane

For all I had, vanished
My hands will burn your walls
This is who I am, fallen
Commander of the lost

For all the fire
For all the fire

The walls are higher, fields are burning
And my dreams are all there is
The light is blinding, no prayers answered
For salvation never came

Can you see me? Am I still here?
Tell me not to give in
Can you hear me?
Is it time to walk again to that place in silence?
Go back to the shadows
Back to the shadows

Can they heal me?
Can they help me be myself once again?
Can they?
Am I dreaming? Am I feeling love or is this just consolation?
I'm begging the devil
To feed me venom

There's a silhouette beside me, cutting tangles of my hair
Will this lunacy allow me to remember who I am?
The reflection on the mirror shows me eyes that cannot see
And I'm trapped inside illusion, severed from reality

In my head it ain't over
I surrender and give in to delusion deep within
It's in my head, taking over
And the only voice I hear is a prayer for release

All these pieces do not fit in my cosmic self
Overthinking everything
Inconvenient, unexpected sounds that call
For my strained reaction
My own occupier
Reset and rewire

There's a silhouette that haunts me and I know I can't be saved
As the shapes are moving closer and my sanity derails
The reflection on the mirror shows me eyes that cannot see
And the calling of a vision alters my reality

In my head it ain't over
I surrender and give in to delusion deep within
It's in my head, taking over
And the only voice I hear is a prayer for release
And I won't live in this sorrow
With no reason to get by
When divided from your light
No I won't live, I'll stay hollow
Without chance to reunite
While I'm driven to the night

You were pushed into a sidetrack, never to remain
You had every intention to leave with grace
When you're lying on your bed and descending into doubt
I just hope your light will still keep me warm
