I like to bury myself in pain
You know what I mean
I like to suffocate in all my memories
Until I cannot breathe

So I can taste again
How hard it is
To have a frozen heart inside my chest
That only beats but doesn't feel

That wall inside the room
Are closing in
I cannot see a door
A little sparkle of light
I cannot see any hope

I wonder
Is it all my fault?
Is it because of me?
Is it because I never care enough?
And now I pay for this

Cosa ne rimane della mia anima nera?
Anima nera
Anima nera
Anima nera

We are the anima

Ride

We came
Rising from the dark
We've been riding for so long
It's coming
Many things to overcome
Always learning from our past
Bringing vengeance from the gods
Never lost our way

We don't heed you
The sword of anger
Will cut in the deep
Still moving alone

We feel no pain

We don't heed you
Beyond the blackness
We find harmony
Never belong

Always chained to the sorrow
Never hide behind remorse
Silent ghosts
Of what once was
Rising from the shadow
We've crossed to the other side
And never lost our way

Still running alone
With no interest in what you say
To free ourselves from the boundaries
Let's breathe reeling into the darkness
Swimming past all the hatred
Overcoming our failures
Beyond the surface
We dig in the deep
There's more to us than you will never see

More
Feel no pain
We feel no pain
Never lost our way

Tonight it's coming down
To hell with all the innocence
The signs are all around
I've had enough
Wasted too much time
Afraid to cross the line
Enough with alibis

You make me, make me reckless
You make me reckless
You make me, make me reckless
(Destroy)

Let's wreck it down
Let's be wild and get reckless
(Now destroy)
Keep the madness endless
Give me danger along the ride

(Unafraid to self destroy)

Things won't be slowing down
I'm high enough on bitterness
The fire fills my eyes
(Not afraid)
I have never learnt to compromise
I need to feel alive
Enough with alibis
(Feel alive)

You make me, make me reckless
You make me reckless
You make me, make me reckless
(Destroy)

Let's wreck it down
Let's be wild and get reckless
(Now destroy)
Keep the madness endless
Give me danger along the ride

(You make me reckless)

Let's wreck it down
Let's be wild and get reckless
(Now destroy)
Keep the madness endless
Give me danger, come on, enjoy the ride (Smash)
And break this down
Let's be wild and get reckless
(Destroy)
Keep the madness endless
Give me danger along the ride

(Unafraid to self destroy)

Layers of time
Layers of time

I live the life I left behind
A story born of scars and strifes
My heart is blind and frozen
I'm among snakes
I'm well disguise
Healers and dealer of this time
The poison enters every night

Well disguise

Victims of time
We take our chance again
Our road is paved with pain
The past we can't rewind

Building this life
Still trapped inside
I think I've lost the storyline
Forever hurt and broken
I swear I'll get out alive
Burning the bridges built behind
My life's reloading every night

Out alive

Victims of time
We take our chance again
Our road is paved with pain
The past we can't rewind

Twisting
Turning
Through the baptism of fire
Burning
Angels
Falling
Through the spiral of time
Twisting
Turning
Through the baptism of fire
Burning
Angels
Falling
Through the spiral of time
Twisting
Turning
Through the baptism of fire
Burning
Angels
Falling
Through the spiral of time
Twisting
Turning
Through the baptism of fire
Burning
Angels
Falling
Through the spiral of time

Through layers of time
We'll live again
Forget the past
We'll be alright

Victims of time
We take our chance again
Our road is paved with pain
Keep walking
We'll find the way

Layers of time
Layers of time

While you pray
We don't care

While you pray

Apocalypse
It's going down
This time
And I'm surprisingly alive
We've been condemned again
Guilty of our innocence
Do you preach about the revelation
So far from evolution

You're far from the solution

While you pray
We start a revolution
You don't care
And celebrate your lies
While you pray
You're far from absolution
We don't care
We leave it all behind

We don't care

Tell me all about your life
Looking at the sand gliding down
Through the hourglass
Here we are again
We know only time will tell
Let the fate decide
Right here
Staring in each other's eyes
Trusting in each other's lies

Walk me out of here
Take me away

I made my way back to the living
When I was already dead
I can't believe this is for real
I felt my heart skip a beat
My vision was so unclear
As I slowly revealed myself

Now or never
The time is right
Out of your shelter
Crawl back to life

The beast is still unleashed
I'm hating all of this
I don't know what is wrong with me
I know I will take the blame
I left the good times in the past
And maybe I'm already dead

I won't surrender
To a corrupted soul
Under bloody flags
We march in pain
Through the turmoil
Hold the flame
There's no mercy for the innocent

Now or never
The time is right
Now or never
We are not down on our knees
We're close to victory

Beneath the gloss
There is no escape
You're looking sharp
But the smile is fake
There's much more
That hides behind
All your senses are compelled to lie

Solitary warm embrace
That keeps me here confined
Can't run away
I search for comfort deep inside
And I don't want to get away
Escape from here
I could be wrong but I don't care
I'm imprisoned deep
Alone
Living in isolation from the world

Demise
But I feel fine

Everything feels perfect
When you're spinning lies
Deceiving yourself
But deep under the surface
The battle comes alive
Don't want to fight
Everything's collapsing
But you don't seem to care
Disown
Illusions and emotions are for sale

Life
There is no point

Loneliness won't let me go
And crawls beneath my skin
It's moving in
The filtered world I'm living in
Is not as perfect as I think
Don't want to hear
It all gets old within a week
But I just don't care
Alone
Living in isolation from the world

Everything feels perfect
The culprit sleeps inside
But deep under the surface
Your weakness comes alive
Everything's collapsing
You never stood a chance
So keep on burying your head in the sand

Nova vis ad diem novum nascitur
Penìtus veneficium versatum revincitur

I'm unmoving like a stone
This silence screams so cold
I wish I was so far from here
But now
I think we need to talk
Sit right in front of me
The dream we had has come to an end

I would destroy my own life
To consume your soul
And smile
But I'm locked into your world
Again

Here I come
To show you all the wounds
Inside my heart
But it's all in vain
Here I come
I know
That it will never be the same

Now
I need to be alone
I spin out of control
We're trapped inside the dream again
Look now
What we have become
You're like a parasite
Infecting me until the end

There was a time
We looked down from the clouds
We climbed sky high
Thought that we would never fall
How come you didn't even try?
Was it harder to fight than to let me go?

Nova vis ad diem novum nascitur
Penìtus veneficium versatum revincitur

Arise
Inside of you
Defeat again

Here
I want to start again
Keep learning day by day
Forget the fear and feel free at last
Because now
I'm closer to the edge
I'm afraid to see what I became
I know that it will never be the same

Here I come
Knowing I will never be the same

I am just realizing
This  pain is almost like salvation
Keeps  coming back to me
Protects me from the voice of madness

Clean away my sins
Because  I want to be with you
Now  please
Answer my prayers
Because the end is all I can see

Twisting  and turning
Anxiety moves in
Is coiling inside me
The evil within
Stinging and burning
Consumes me with guilt
It plays with my senses
Then crawls out of me

No one answered my prayers
There is nothing left here for me

Now
You need to burn it down
Let's give it all an end
I'm caught inside a maze
I need to get out of this
Trapped inside
A prison in disguise
I keep running around in circles
Stuck on repeat again

Burning your sins

Save me from myself
I  can't help it
I'm  breaking down
Save me from myself
I could use your strength
Right now

My  skin is crawling
And  feel this pressure
Pushing from the inside out
I  have lost my nerve
My mind is racing
Insomnia kicks in
Burning in my darkest thoughts again

So  I keep asking myself
Will I be strong enough to face this mess?
So Iìm still here begging for help
We're only humans walking through this hell

Save me from myself
I could use your strength
I'm breaking down

Oppressed and hopeless
And held in this spell
I don't know how to find a way
To release myself
I am going crazy
So close to giving up
Nothig here feels like it used to be

And what remains is the shadow of my past
I look in the mirror
And hate what I see
I don't recognise my face anymore
And wonder where all of my dreams are gone
Feeling lost and empty
I know I can't turn back time
But I just don't want to give up
I can't give up

The calm before the storm
Clouds are moving in anticipation
I'm longing for the rain to wash it all away
Slowly I am losing control

What's on the other side of the clouds?

It's time to let go
Release all control
Destroy everything
Rebuild it again
Let go

The countdown has begun
Control
Delete everything
Destroy
Erase and rewind
Rebuild
Repeat

Go
Together we'll erase the suffering
Smash
Disarray
Our world is afraid
And falling
Pain
We are chasing the ghost
That's trapped inside

I can see your anima

You and me
Against the world
When you're feeling all hope is lost
You are not alone
In a world of disarray
All the walls that keep us separated
We will break them all
And reunite
And when I'll be gone
You'll keep our legacy alive

Break
Smash
Disarray
Chaos
Rise

I want to know
What's inside
I cut her open
She doesn't bleed out
Like a river
She has run dry
I try to grab her
She turns away
She turns away

I can't believe that she's not real
She's all I ever wanted
No one can hear the whispering
She keeps on drifting away

I can see you under a veil of memories
She takes me away
We have lost our gravity
Break my fall
Let's let the wind decide
Where we are going to fall
Soaring to a destination
She takes me away

Black feathers in the storm
We are right where we belong
Carried by our desolation

I can't let go
She gets me high
She's just a shadow
But feels so alive
Like a vision
In my eyes
I try to grab her
She fades away

I can see you under a veil of memories
She fades away
We have lost our gravity
Break my fall
Let's let the wind decide
Where we are going to fall
Soaring to a destination
She takes me away

Black feathers in the storm
We are right where we belong
Carried by our desolation

Break my fall
She takes me away
Can't let go

Black feathers in the storm
Where will we fall?
Will we ever be home?
Let's let the wind decide
Where we are going to fall
Soaring to a destination
She takes me away

Black feathers in the storm
We are right where we belong
Carried by our desolation
Can't let go

I sit and watch you burn
A spark of light
Ignites the fire
Get this lesson learned
Don't be scared
You'll rise to be divine
Let this cleanse your soul
Take it apart
Piece by piece
Let it run in our blood
The deeper it goes the darker it gets

Face me
I need you to understand
Lit the flame
And let this be the end
Consume me
But I will not repent
Face me
Face me

I'll shut down our world
Heretic thoughts
Torture your mind
There is no reward
While I see your face
Through the flames
Point of no return
The demons you hide have eternal life
Let them burn in your blood
The deeper they go the darker it gets

Face me
I need you to understand
Lit the flame
And let this be the end
Consume me
But I will not repent
Face me
Face me

And now the sun is coming down
The gates of dusk are waiting for us
Please remember me
I know it is too late
But promise
You will spread the ashes of our past

Face me
I need you to understand
Lit the flame
And let this be the end
Consume me
But I will not repent
Face me
Face me

I choke
Suffocate
I don't want to live like this
There's no air left to breathe
There's no fight left in me

A return to the past
Is it all you can offer?
A relief from the pain
That only lasts 'til tomorrow
Wither like grass
The sense of our life
Wrathful and tearless
The distance we feel
Gone

I need you right now
My black dried up heart
It's hunting you down
(Fading away)
It's breaking apart
I need you right now
You're becoming the dark
That's blinding my eyes

I choke
Suffocate
I don't want to live like this

Arise from the dust
The sands of our life
Release me from the chains
A reason to survive
Drinking from the glass
Of memories and lies
Restless and shifting
The season of fear
Gone

I need you right now
My black dried up heart
It's hunting you down
(Fading away)
It's breaking apart
I need you right now
You're becoming the dark
That's blinding my eyes

You are dead to me now
Now

I need you right now
I need you right now
My black dried up heart
It's hunting you down
(Fading away)
It's breaking apart
I need you right now
You're becoming the dark
That's blinding my eyes

You are dead to me now

I choke
Suffocate
I don't want to live like this
There's no air left to breathe
There's no fight left in me
