01. A New Beginning

Breathe and let the poison in
Inhale the words in silence
One more soul consumed by fear
You have broken every rule
You've fallen way too deep now
Just one more can bring you down
Just one more will bring you to the ground

It's been like this for ages now
The truth has been condemned into your dreams
By all their schemes
But I could never follow you
The lies you told are ripping at the seams
And the broken ones will see

So I will never fly with you
My fallen angel
I feel time is over due
For your tomorrow
This time you will see... me

You are hiding your intentions
Deceiving your own heartbeats
But I could never play that game
Wait just a minute more
Someday the truth might find you
One of these days it will be clear
One of these days all you'll hear is

(Will you) turn the page
Turn this sleeping darkness into day
Right from your grave
Will you ever close the door
And find a new beginning if we fall
So we can rise above it all

So I will never fly with you
My fallen angel
I feel time is over due
For your tomorrow
This time you will see me

So I will never fly with you
My fallen angel
I feel time is over due
For your tomorrow
No I will never fly with you
My fallen angel
I could have lived and died for you
And your tomorrow
This time I will be... free

02. In Front Of You

On the outside looking in
Everything appears okay
Right here

We'll do what we want
Our destiny may be our own
No matter what?

But why refuse to see
Why bear a cross that can't be seen
That no one else can feel

How come you hide your self within
An archetype that is so old
Now, there is so much to know

I'm here, right in front of you
I can not believe that you can't see this too
It's right in front of you
It's right in front of you
I'm right in front of...

Another heaven awaits us
Utopia to come our way
Another fairy tale

They'll do as they please
Our future deemed in unknown hands
No matter what?

But I refuse to be weak
Carry a burden 'cause you can't see
The way things really are

How come you just hide your self
Inside this monumental fortress
When we can make it fall

I'm here, right in front of you
I can not believe that you can't see this too
It's right in front of you
It's right in front of you
I'm right in front of...

03. Alive (Part I)

What is there to be done
About the world today
A thousand million stars
Surround us as we lay
Turning from the light
And falling into sleep
Wondering who we are
And are we in too deep

But people everywhere
Keep falling in between
The truth will set you free
Is that reality?
Where am I coming from
Where am I going to
I will go to rest
Thinking
I am just like you

04. Alive (Part II)

She could never see beyond
The color of her own skin
No matter what tomorrow brings her
So hard to change within

She grew up into this darkness
It's in her mind
In her soul
But we can always break the silence
No matter what we're told

You can run and you can hide
But remember you only have one life
Never take for granted
What you've got and what you're given
I might lose and I might fall
But I will fight against it all
One last time
One last try to make me feel

He was never satisfied
No matter how hard they tried
But greed will always make you weaker
So find another way

He was taught to feed his hunger
Always wanting more
So much more
But we can always make us stronger
And change us at the core

You can run and you can hide
But remember you only have one life
Never take for granted
What you've got and what you're given
I might lose and I might fall
But I will fight against it all
One last time
One last try to make me feel
Alive

"When we're giving up
And when we're giving in
And let the colors fade in this world
We will lose it all"

One last time...
One last try...to feel alive

You can run and you can hide
But remember you only have one life
Never take for granted
What you've got and what you're given
I might lose and I might fall
But I will fight against it all
One last time
One last try to make me feel
Alive

05. Reflection Of A Mind

I can sense you
Through the mist in the moonlit night
Shadows dancing
To the beat of the pounding heart

The nocturnal breeze
It whispers my name
It alters my spirit and feeds my pain

I can feel you
In my veins and inside my mind...

I cannot believe
It's tearing my mind, and I
I cannot deceive
My hunger for pain, though I tried

Wake me up from this slumber
In the morning I stare at the face of despair

I cannot hide
Dreading for the day
I fear the moment
The moment when I'm lost

I can see, but I won't believe this
The reflection of me; nothing lives, nothing dies
Will I see this forever?
In the morning I fear the mirrors truth

Darkness will rise
It's holding my heart
Taking control of my senses

Take me!
I will not run
Break me!
Use my soul and
Own me!
I will not feel, I'll embrace this beast

I cannot believe
It's tearing my mind, and I
I cannot deceive
My hunger for pain, though I lied

Waking to the state I've been turned
Darkness all around and in my mind
You will stand before me, loosing hope
Waiting for the screams to be heard
Feeding on your fear, it's my reward
You cannot escape this, that's when you bleed

Am I lost now?
Will I wake up?
I'm numb and lifeless
Will I fight this... or loose?

Through the window shines the crescent moonlight
The empty wall reveals a missing portrait... of me... it's lost
Seeking for myself in desperation, am I gone?!
The mirror shows me my reflection turned to stone

Scream and say my name, but no-one answers
Can't remember how I used to look like
Now I'm gone

The night's approaching
It's close but I won't turn into... you

Cause I won't let you
Take my spirit nor take my soul!

I will not fear
Searching through my mind
The mirror shows me
Reflecting what is real

I cannot believe
It's tearing my mind, and I
I cannot deceive
My hunger for pain

I cannot believe
Reflecting my soul, and I
I cannot be free
Until it's gone, this beast inside

How I tried...
How I lied...
How I cried...

06. Insomnia

Now if you hold me dear
If I am close to you
Then life could alter in the night

If I would speak to you
And you would answer me
Then we could turn this darkness into ever lasting light

We, can we ever make it through
Oh, can I ever trust in you - you leave this up to me

And so we fall for the lie
That we will never find
A time to abide, and leave this all behind

When I close my eyes
Within this withered place
What can break this malice course
Here I lie awake
Embraced insomnia
Without you there's nothing left to perpetuate

The lights are off and I am lost
Strike my mind and let me dream (insomnia)

If we embrace our fears
And help each other then
We can walk ways that we did not dare before

Why don't I care to take your hand
And choose this world with you
We could fly beyond where no-one else have ever been

We, can we ever make it through
Oh, can I ever trust
We, will we ever make it through
Oh, can I ever trust in you - you leave this up to me

And so we fall for the lie
That we will never find
A place in time, to leave this all behind

When I close my eyes
Within this withered place
What can break this malice course
Here I lie awake
Embraced insomnia
Without you there's nothing left to perpetuate

And so we fall for the lie
That we will never find
A place in time, to leave this all behind

I lay these words to rest
Never to be found
I leave this place, in my heart and mind

When I close my eyes
Within this withered place
What can break this malice course
Here I lie awake
Embraced insomnia
Without you there's nothing left to perpetuate

07. The Journey

In the frozen winter
Through the ice and through the snow
I'm walking right beside you
But little do you know

I broke your trust, forgive me
But I was only ten
My hands, they slipped, I'm cold now
I'll never fall again

I was only playing with my friends
I was on my way back home

Into the cold
Over the mountains
I will follow wherever you go
Over the seas
Across the oceans
I will travel through space and time

And like a silent whisper
Confiding in the wind
My strength in life has always
Been coming from within

But you're no longer near
And all I feel is fear

I wish you could see me
Fading in the dark
But life has turned against me
I wonder where you are

I can't find my way back home

Into the cold
Over the mountains
I will follow wherever you go
Over the seas
Across the oceans
I will travel through space and time

"As darkness closes in
The coldness grows stronger
And as his journey has just begun
Mother nature won't take him to the ground"

And he can hear their voices now
Calling in the night
But he grows weaker so just how
Will he find the light

Breaking through is sunrise
A ray of light on skin
A sense of desperation
They all feel within

And now he only sees them
From a distance far away
One last "goodbye" he whispers
"I can no longer stay"

Into your dreams
Into the sunrise
I will always be there for you
Out of the dark
Far from the shadows
I have finally found my way back home

08. Burdens

I know, we have our burdens
But I feel that we could be
So much more than we are
Is this why we leave?
I know that we're fallen
But I can never let it go

In a heartbeat we could
Turn away from all we have
Our days of old, be passed away
Like the sands through the hourglass

I would hate to see us here
Falling for another lie
If we could mend our mistakes
Maybe it would take forever, for us

If I confide in you
Would I be redeemed like you?

I can't keep the dark out
It always seems to seep right through
I just cannot fathom
The wisdom you're suppose to carry

If I would dare to meet you
Turn away from all I have
Could it wash my sins away?
Would it take us through forever?

If I confide in you
Would I be redeemed like you?

I know, we have our burdens
But I feel that we could be
So much more than we are
Is this why we leave?
I know that we're fallen
But I can never let it go!

If I confide in you
Would I be redeemed like you?
If I confide in you
Would I be redeemed like you?
Oh yeah... oh...

09. Turning Pages

Waking up into a silent world
I open my eyes, a broken earth I find
A time will come for us to rise and change
So we tell the stories once denied, and let our colors fly

See the coldness all around you
Take control over what you've done

I can't take anymore
So I'm turning pages
Need this world to come alive
Or colors will fade
Turn into cold grey
Nothing more than empty lies
Feeding our society

Walking down the road of fame and greed
(Give me more, so much more)
The more you show the more you will succeed
(...take...it...off...)
So take control, forgive and let it go
But you bring the stories to the ground
And let your spirit die

Feel the darkness that surrounds you
Take it in and see what you have done

I can't take anymore
So I'm turning pages
Need this world to come alive
Or colors will fade
Turn into cold grey
Nothing more than empty
Lies
Feeding our society
Lies
Breaking what we could have been
Lies
Tears me up inside

I will not
Break the trust that I have been given
Or feed your lust to be in control
And veil the sun, it's all just a misconception
I will not
Break

All that we are is falling to pieces
Will we ever break these chains?
We need to find our way back home

I can't take anymore
So I'm turning pages
Need this world to come alive
Or colors will fade
Turn into cold grey
Nothing more than empty lies
We can't wait anymore
We're turning pages
We need this world to break these
Lies
Hiding what we would have seen
Lies
Breaking what we could have been
Lies
Feeding our society

10. Light Of Dawn

Deep, cold
Lost strength now, drown

Thought I'd never see the light of day
Will I ever be awake?
Will I ever reach that dawn once more?
In the evening I will spread my wings and try to fly again

"I am king of the night, yet I haven't conquered the day"

I will fly!
Into the light of dawn, leave where I hide
Try to find a way to break this cage
Time to emerge!

I sense the dawn but I'm turning to the night
Feeling secure in the shadows where I dwell
Hunting for prey by the pale light from the moon
But I will return

Rise, breathe
Swim ashore, emerge!

I will rise, but you hold me down
But I will try reach the tallest tree
Into the morning when I finally leap and fly with all my might

I will fly!
Into the light of dawn, leave where I hide
Try to find a way to break this cage
Time to emerge!

Leaving the ground, leaving this scene now
I see the landscape change beneath and I
Hold my head high
No longer I fear
I know I can fly

I will fly!
Into the light of dawn, leave where I hide
Try to find a way to break this cage

Night or day
No matter when I fly, I will not hide
If I fall I'll learn to rise again
Learn how to live
