Brain Death 05:25
(To die there in emptiness Justice will prevail Before he gave his final breath They lead him to his grave) Unable to move and find his way, He’s meandering through the secret path… A brave man soaring up in distant space They decided to burn his flesh and his heart Embraced our humanity That was his destiny To die there in emptiness Justice will prevail Before he gave his final breath They lead him to his grave Far from these walls The winter is gone Following their logical atomism He was restrained In a distant space Now slowly he’s dying alone. Embraced our humanity That was his destiny To die there in emptiness Justice will prevail Before he gave his final breath They lead him to his grave Embraced our humanity Yeah It was his destiny To die there in emptiness Justice will prevail Before he gave his final breath They lead him to his grave I’m dying here in helplessness Justice must prevail Before I saw the eyes of this world They took me to the grave

Think Again 04:20
Nothing comes without its consequences Even if you’re dying to act, think again Evil plans are brought upon you when they’re trying to haunt you, think again Think again nobody can undo their actions Think again before you lose yourself again Where was my fault where did I go wrong? I tried to change My heart’s desire (Living in vain) She didn’t listen to me I couldn’t help myself be A leap of faith I could never take (No turning back) Should I give up or should I let you live Think again nobody can undo their actions Think again before you lose yourself Think again, now is your time. Make your decisions Think again before you lose your pride again You said: “I never have or will regret” This second is a moment of remorse You tried to leave these things behind and the Scars from them in your heart never let you Think again Nobody can undo their actions Think again before you lose yourself Fight with pride. It’s time to face your inner demons Fight with pride before you lose it once again

Living Hell 05:17
I woke up, where am I? Can’t remember a thing What do I feel? How did I come to this? Addiction, needles burning my skin, The lights around me are so dim The substance is in my blood. I feel it inside Oh sweet relief of death where are you? Release this dark chain from my heart Carry me with you Now I see, I finally understand What was lost, entering this cell? Dreaming of her, craving for the end... I wanna escape from living this hell This living hell Paralyzed, alone, Standing still I can sense the emptiness surround me Just because I can’t feel Doesn’t mean I don’t care Sitting in this dark and empty room Can’t move, can’t shed a tear Can’t breathe, I’m trapped in here My fragile eyes wide shut Drifting off this endless road This game for me is lost Now I see, I finally understand What was lost, entering this cell? Dreaming of her, craving for the end... I wanna escape from living this hell This living hell Gazing up at the vague sky The sun is setting on me But what an irony, God You are always smiling at me Can’t move, can’t shed a tear Can’t breathe, I’m standing still This is my own demise Never imagined it would end well

My Own Blood 05:05
My weakest part is you, the past can prove it All those things you’ve done to save me from the pit You wiped the dust from my forehead After all those years I betrayed you and him You came back Come to me brother I need you with me No one can save me from the monsters I see I never wanted this life for us Escape was not an option I thought I was protecting my own blood Inside this fight there is no mercy. Neither a shelter to rest We fool the people to protect them. Lies, from scratch ‘till the end Don’t lose your patience and your faith I tried to do my best. I wasn’t strong enough God where are you now that I need you Stay with me brother I’m counting on you No one’s here for me I can’t stand losing you I never wanted this life for us Escape was not an option I thought I was protecting my own blood Come to me brother I need you with me no one can save me from the monsters I see Stay with me brother I’m counting on you no one’s here for me I can’t stand losing you I never wanted this life for us Escape was not an option I thought I was protecting my own blood I always wanted this life for us Escape was the only option I never said that you were My own blood

Empty Helmet 10:50
I’m not trying to bring justice here and I don’t want to see this case clear Together we collect the debt and we condemn you You set up a plan, to create a world of pain and doom Dragged me to the womb of oppression For a god with no soul You’re just a part of his game I’ll learn the words by heart and play the role you trained me for I can see the rectitude, I’m coming through A threat is coming from the sky Can’t you change my Disturbed mind? Wearing a helmet on my head Loyal to my country’s will I’m Tired of Poetic justice Look at me behind the bars of this jail My purpose is lost and they cut off my hair I have to be patient and comply with the rules, oh no more hate! I can feel the emptiness with a shotgun in my hand And the sergeant’s voice is driving me insane I can’t hear you anymore Can you stop to take a breath? I want to escape from here I need help but you can’t hear A threat is coming from the sky Can’t you change my Disturbed mind? Wearing a helmet on my head Loyal to my country’s will I’m Tired of Poetic justice Follow me in this misery And march with the Army of Salvation Engines of war have engaged Soldiers, welcome to hell Thousands of people are dead I don’t understand the reason we’ve started to fight I remember the horror of death, abandoning a newborn child Declaration of war, from us I uncover my eyes, but thousands of people are blind Authority, for the benefit of our country Submission to our nation’s will forever I don’t wanna break this seal Allegiance, an evil plan upon us And you cover up this masquerade To make us live your own sick dream How can you live with that? Dissension? For what? Now I leave this place, lost in my reflection This paranoia makes me live in my obsession One nation against these schemes And only now can I see what this means

“There’s no hope” he said and left And the evil spread like wild fire We tried to flee, but we were crashed Into the darkest desires Out of this burning inferno There was a child With hands covered in blood His innocence forever tainted So for all your life, all your Life You kept on hiding all your thoughts With the eyes of your soul you can find all the things that you have lost And keep on living And God disappeared From the face of the Earth Now instead of Him The human kind prevails Ride on until you rise again Cause the end shall not descend So for all your life, all your Life You kept on hiding all your thoughts With the eyes of your soul you can find all the things that you have lost And keep on living ‘’For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in many places, as well as famines and troubles…‘’ {These are the beginnings of sorrows ἀρχαὶ ὠδίνων ταῦτα } So for all your life, all your Life You kept on hiding all your thoughts With the eyes of your soul you can find all the things that you have lost, and keep on living So for all your life, all your Life You kept on hiding all your thoughts With the eyes of your soul you can Remind yourself of all the things that you have got And keep on living…

Upon the world grey darkness Smelling of blood and corpse The candle wax in brightness Showed me the way to roam Creatures of the fall Tolls in the midst of life It took me years to find The mysteries of your soul The age of madness This realm is where I belong Searching in darkness Why are my answers wrong? Bringing down the demons of this world This empire had to be destroyed A clang of shields I cannot avoid It’s a divine tragedy Acting on the stage of insanity We tried to kill our destiny It’s the beginning of absurdity The age of madness This realm is where I belong Searching in darkness Why are my answers wrong? Bringing down the demons of this world This empire had to be destroyed A clang of shields I cannot avoid Time to escape from this living hell The flood is coming I can hear the bells Bringing down the demons of this world This empire had to be destroyed A clang of shields I cannot avoid I cannot avoid it My spirit abandoned my body And it flew away
8.
My theory in life was so earthbound and Suddenly this abstract figure, in person appeared I’m not of this world I can surely tell That they know Thus I cannot lie and I don’t care anyway The moments of sorrow within redemption All this time in a parallel universe I’ve got to find my way back I guess nothing is forever in life Will we disappear on the way back home?

There... The nature goes wild It sows and unfolds all her secrets Wicked creatures unaware of this place Draining sunlight with joy Giving itself fully to its lord They interfered with the Creation... Million miles away, behind the snowy mountains Under the cloudy sky, eyes are incapable of facing heaven Just travelling with our memories, emotions and dreams.. With the sound of angels' harps and quests for eternity Twelve ships closing to the land. Slipping slyly upon the sea... The ropes of the sun are their captain Night-stars are their compass Willing to become Kings instead of her... The harmony of nature, surrounding them like the moonlight hugs the Earth Birds like nature's heralds beginning their Journey The picture softly faded, till it turned white, one bleak night of December Twelve ships closing to the land. Slipping slyly upon the sea... The ropes of the sun are their captain Night-stars are their compass Willing to become Kings instead of her... They used her beauty, they never shed a tear She might be hurting, but she doesn't fear They took advantage of every corner found A prophet saw it coming, and he’s dead by now She will rebel, with much anger You may run but there is no escape Willing to give you my seeds, willing to serve you always But you have betrayed me, you are cursed I will rule this place, you will kneel before me If you misbehave, I will take your life Now please give me more ground to ease my hunger Some wine and some whores, it’s the perfect life She will rebel, with much anger You may run but there is no escape Willing to give you my seeds, willing to serve you always But you have betrayed me, you are cursed You are all cursed! You burned me, you dug me You didn’t care at all about my heart that’s suffering Everything is produced implanting the delusion That all the things we sacrifice are for the common good Who are you trying to fool? Even when I warned you You didn’t hesitate You made me feel so worthless Now I will have my revenge Everything is produced implanting the delusion That all the things we sacrifice are for the common good Who are you trying to fool? Now I see our time is at hand, it is entirely my fault This is the ending we deserve, we should have known I can see the angels arrive; this is what I fear the most This is the ending we deserve, we should have known It was just a dream (wake up) this is your second chance Don’t screw it up (no time to lose) off you go to change the world Twelve ships closing to the land. Slipping proudly upon the sea The ropes of the sun are their captain Night-stars are their compass Willing to become, willing to become Servants in her hands

I feel so sad for you Abysmal guilt surrounds you All the things that will happen are your fault I will break the seven seals One by one they will destroy you Everything will fall into place The four horsemen The white-dressed martyrs Devastation released It will be spoiled The first creation You’ve become an abomination The firmness will be lost The stars will miss their host When everything falls apart Please show mercy The guilt lies with me Things can change I believe in you, I hope it’s not too late To save my soul The trumpets blared out After the silence it’s the end of mankind I’ve shown no mercy The seven seals were broken One by one they really did destroy you everything has fallen into place Everything has fallen into place

Marionettes 09:22
Nothing has changed. She gazed at the past, It was better than ever There’s no time for pain. Against the stream We will stay together A newborn will come to life It’s my own debt to raise it We’ll do it together You shouldn’t be afraid We will fend for ourselves Some people may rush to draw conclusions Many of them might find the wrong solutions Don’t do it or you’ll regret it This was your last chance to prevent it You will feel utter desolation inside you, it’s too late Impossible is nothing You’ve got no choice you have to face the cold hard facts You can’t run away for all eternity -So… we’ve reached this dead end. -There’s no avoiding the obstacles in our path. Shall we discuss the matter at hand? -Please don’t do this to me. I can’t stand the thought of it. It’s murder, don’t you see? -We have to face reality or else life will become a trial for us, full of pain and Suffering -Face reality you say? Haven’t you ever stopped to consider anything but the obvious? This soul is what will link us together forever. It’s just an innocent child. Please, don’t go… You’ll regret it. -Listen to me: -I’ll miss you my love, but I can’t live this lie. -I’ll miss you my love, this must be a misunderstanding ”Goodbye”. The gift of life was given to you It can’t be thrown away like this The mystery of raising a child The feeling… it’s irreplaceable You are my whole life I can’t do you any harm I will let you live I will let you live in peace Nothing remains the same We picture the future It’s more difficult than ever You are my whole life I can’t do you any harm I will let you live Impossible is nothing
