Hear me now
Bearing down upon a path we choose
Chosen from the start living different rules
Existence something that cherish true
Will not succumb to doubts that I hold onto
Release the fear of my pain
In so much pain give me the will to fight
Every obstacle that I have inside
Release my fear
And hear me now, words I vow
No fucking regrets
Fuck these chains, no goddamn slave
I will be different
I'll stand here defiantly, my middle finger raised
Fuck your prejudice
All my life always I've felt alone
Conditioned to believe that I'm always wrong
Only truth will help to set me free
My every weakness I must turn into strength
Every rage, every tear
Hate in so much hate never that pain will bind me
Ask of myself if I've the will to unwind
Every rage and tear
Hear me now, words I vow
No fucking regrets
Fuck these chains, no goddamn slave
I will be different
I'll stand here defiantly, my middle finger raised
Fuck your prejudice
Carved upon my stone, I will go on
Patience, belief, love will ascend
Just listen to it
Voice so true inside calling
Just take you up and march you on
Keep from falling
Let go your sorrow
Sun will shine, this I promise
Rising tomorrow
Rising
Hear me now, I'm taking back the control
Of my life from societies hold
I vow, no more will I be a slave
Rise to challenge the whole human race

In längst vergangner Zeit
Stand das Imperium einst bereit
Und schob sich
Durch heißen Sand
Es wuchs
Zu Wasser wie auf Land
Das Imperium war geboren
Und ragt zu den Himmelstoren
Es kündigt sich
Sichtlich leise an
Doch fühlen wir
Jetzt erst seinen Bann
[Ref.]
Zeig mir deinen Schatz
Er diene mir als Lebenskraft
Und blicken wir nach vorne los
Gemeinsam in das Abendrot
Sähen neue Felder
Und ernten unseren Taten
Entspringt auch schon
Eine neuer Quell
In unsrem grünen Garten
Und blicken wir nach vonre los
Gemeinsam in das ABendrot
[Ref.]
Zeig mir deinen Schatz
Er diene mir als Lebenskraft
Und blicken wir nach vorne los

Questions burn
Caught in persuasive rational words
Take his hand
And he will take away your hurts
Vicious lies
The so called chosen one decides
Confusing
Ensuring your mental demise
Exalting crowd begins to pray
Fanatic true believers of his lie
Maliciousness, Messiah Mask
Casting souls and mental suicide
Pedantry
Deprived of all reality
Elusive
Yet drowning in this forgery
Manipulate
Consume your mind and duplicate
"Hear my child"
Your own opinions suffocate
Exalting crowd begins to pray
Fanatic true believers of his lie
Maliciousness, Messiah Mask
Casting souls and mental suicide
Unstable souls lost in the depts of evil
Obey to me and never go astray
Your wicked minds and earthly possessions
Let go of them and give it all to me!
Loyalty
Mesmerized catastrophy
Empty stares
Hysterical dependancy
Bloodstained floors
A penance for your wicked soul
Say your prayers
And heed to the infalable
Exalting crowd begins to pray
Fanatic true believers of his lie
Maliciousness, Messiah Mask

So here it is my friend
An invitation to this monologue of contradiction
This display of emotions
Makes you hunger for more
Disposed of reason
Listen to every word that will be spilled
Some strange addiction
Sold for a moment of blind attention
Cast a shadow of empty phrases
Without mercy
Exposure of pain, until all is dark
Swallowed by slip of tongue
A fall from grace
Once placed on a pedestal now thrown away
All words denied
But whispered softly, whispered softly
Cast a shadow of empty phrases
Without mercy
Exposure of pain, until all is dark

They sound so loud and clear to me in hopeless distance
But drowned in cynical laughs
Determination waved goodbye and went away
My eyes grew weary
Silenced in a cold and paralizing stream
Struggled up and pushed under
All they were is gone just like a passing dream
Left me with nothing
I am losing sight
Turned away, silently
Completely out of reach
Abandoned goals in contrast with a different choice
Lost somewhere, found nowhere
Former things have passed away and lost their voice
Unable to respond
I am losing sight
Turned away, silently
Completely out of reach
Maybe all our dreams ascend with the wind
Abandon you, abandon me
Turned away, silently

I raise my hand to catch a thought within an imaginary word
Their voice is not but still I hear
Your sin I'll be, complicity will free you
Hear me out and once again bleed for me
Seems so strong but strength has failed
The idle standards that you praise
No part I am of lasting shame
Once again a loss of face
Words in lack of understanding
In this play of compassion

We lay down ourselves in ignorant absensce
No lasting word we will find as there is none
For words we will crave
Moments as they fail
Answers seem to lack, questions still left unasked
We're not the same, a noiseless change, though we are
Still we see a weak display in scenes
Of what was meant to be
Still we know a few words of what we've lost
They are left meaningless
Strange intents will be a veil covering our shame
Until we face the truth as lies often are
Still we see a weak display in scenes
Of what was meant to be
Still we know a few words of what we've lost
They are left meaningless
Answers seem to lack, nothing left unsaid
We are instead left meaningless
Still we see a weak display in scenes
Of what was meant to be
Still we know a few words of what we've lost
They are left meaningless
We are left

Entering my room of fun
In you go
Deforming all that it contains
Umbibing you in pleasure pains
It's placed in your head my son
Don't you know
I will leave a lasting trace
Torn from my smothering embrace
Chemical dreams
Chemical dreams
As you're looking through my eyes
You will see
Things that you have never seen
Together we'll explore it all
Come with me
To places you have never been
I will make you float on air
Spinning round
Reality caught in a spin
Gravity will surely win
Take the jump now if you dare
There's no ground
This flying vision ends so rough
Grasping hands as wings fall off
Chemical dreams
Chemical dreams
Set the trap
Seal your fate
Will take long

Hear the sound of masses, their isolated pains
No longer is the wisdom innocence betrays
Sleeping still I may not, visions that we share
Pace along this dark road, wetted by their tears
A prelude to all thoughts that last
Pass on to me all things long past
Watch their dancing silhouettes
Their sad song of what once was
Hear the sound of masses, I surely will prevail
Progressing into nothing, deafened by own will
A prelude to all thoughts they last
Pass on to me all things long past
Watch their dancing silhouettes
Their sad song of what once was
Help if you will, try to fill up my dreams
Please, all I have, hollow sounds, hollow schemes
Form me!
Shocked surprise, the plans you've drawn
Created me, an absurd form
Awakening in time to see
Your icy hands all over me
You're losing me, I will abort
A final scream, a last resort
I'll refuse, you'll stand astound
A your tears stain on the ground
A prelude to all thoughts they last
Pass on to me all things long past
Watch their dancing silhouettes

Minutes ticking away, it seems endlessly
A desperate face, creative ways
To extend the time
The wait is sickening
All that is gained, multiplied pain
Soon will be gone
Memories remain, still the same
A gaze at the sky, all will pass by
No longer to see
All seems so unreal
Suplicate screams, strange as it seems
No longer to be
A gracefull end to what I see
Oh no this cannot be
Awake me from this godforsaken dream
Awake me!
"Limbs seem to freeze, your voice seems to have gone"
"Death perceptible as it welcomes you"
On false hopes I stand as I reach out my hand
Seemingly near but so far away
All is, though for me it seems not to be
Still try to believe the memories stay
The silence is broken but no word is spoken
This bitterness I drink to the things that were
As long as I can I will think of them

Sudden loss of time
Dance to a weird symphony of
Timeless acts in perfect sound
Ìn perfect memories
Placed in this position of stagnancy
Logic Lost Proportion
In a seemingly unendless cycle
Left to yourself
Seizing time, illusions
Trespassing the
Cold light of our passing days
Reversing and stopping
Placed in this position of stagnancy
Logic lost proportion
In a seemingly unendless cycle
Left to yourself
In unexpected ending
In the end it was too short a season
A well times warning
Leaves an ironic smile
Of misplaced arrogance
So dream on your strange dream
Everchanging scenery
Passing and breathing
Through inanimated dreams
In sustained farewell
Placed in this position of stagnancy
Logic Lost Proportion
In a seemingly unendless cycle
Left to yourself
In unexpected ending
