You had to learn
This catastrophe is not my fault
You fail to believe
the things you hear inside your head
Raise your voices
Sense the danger
Warn me of the storm
You became the man that you were scared of
You commit the deeds that we all need
You paint the words that we all dream of
You see the signs that we ignore
We count the minutes
until we call the mutiny
Go Strange strangers
so they become your alibi
Raise your voices
Hear the silence
Come and play a game with me
it is warfare strategy
nn the battlefield tonight
kings and queens, side by side
See the armies stand in line
if you lose, you are mine
face to face, black and white
screaming loud for regicide!
Pawn by pawn - see them fall
queen of blood - takes them all
kiss the knight - chop his head
all the rooks - tumbling dead
Smell of honey, smell of rose
now your queen is coming close
but tonight she is mine
break her heart, break her spine
All I want is your crown
when your kingdom’s coming down
face to face, black and white
screaming loud for regicide!
Pawn by pawn - see them fall
queen of blood - takes them all
kiss the knight - chop his head
all the rooks - tumbling dead
Queen meets king - that’s the end
see the dagger - in her hand
with a smile - seals your fate
This is the funeral of tears
I exile the last sad years
Future's coming over me
But there's not much hope to see
So just look up – up to the sun
The end can be a new beginning
So just wake up – don't defy your life
Look out, don't be misleaded
Stop the rain...
A fog creeps through my brain
Befuddles without shame
No lights anywhere to see
So this might comes over me
So just look up – up to the sun
The end can be a new beginning
So just wake up – don't defy your life
Look out, don't be misleaded
Yes, I look up – but where's the sun
It's the beginning of the end
Well, I'm asleep – defy my life
I look inside and I'm misleaded
Without further ado this feeling surrounds you
But it's as small as pebble running down a wall
What a cliff is this I must jump onto
What a misery I am going through
So just look up – up to the sun
The end can be a new beginning
So just wake up – don't defy your life
Will I ever get out of this embracing space?
How was I trapped into this space?
Just feel how it embraces you
Why must I bear this punishment?
You'll learn what this life is for
Why was I chosen by destiny?
Don't ask for the reasons!
Do I succumb a higher might?
The highest one lies in your mind
May I die?
These feelings are mortal
But I just don't want to loose myself!
Please, come into my tragic kingdom
But be careful – you cannot linger!
Take my wisdom – just step forward!
Cause Time has no meaning – take these vistas from your
past
Do you think that I am a fool?
I just want to lead you to light
Did I say I want to forget?
This is the wish of your heart!
Everything seems unsettled to me
My cranial seems to explode
You didn't understand that this is not trivia
Am I not in this space, am I finally through?
I didn't hesitate
Your soul took no rest – do you really bother?
But where is the light?
Where is the outside?
Where lays my soul?
Where is the solution?
I'm not here to bring you perdition
No, I am here to guide you out of this
So where you lead I will follow
I trust in you – but don't cause disaster!
So where you lead I will follow
(Where I lead you will follow)
I trust in you – but don't cause disaster!
(Trust in me – but don't cause disaster!)
I enjoyed the time as the world was embracing us
The last few months were like paradise - that was
around us all the time
I spoke about us knowing each other more and more
through the years
(My tears ran dry)
It took a second for diseases to change my world
To a world without oceans
That clear horizon's turned into a disappointing view
Into a world without oceans
Feeling alone, fixed to the only one I love
Deported in an ignorant way - still I was begging you
to stay
A chapter's ending without paragraphs or warnings or
forebodings
(It's passing by)
It took a second for diseases to change my world
To a world without oceans
That clear horizon's turned into a disappointing view
Into a world without oceans
This poor world's desiccated, screaming for water in
parching ache
Only she could quench the thirst, but she dispatched it
without a gaze
Could it be that this world ran dry and I just didn't
see it? Have I been blind?
have you seen all the lonely faces
dreaming of some foreign places
and what is it that's waiting out of sight
what is it they're waiting for tonight
screaming
REGICIDE
and in their deep desperation
they're still praying for salvation
there is just one thing that's shining
strong and bright
one thing they all need to lighten up the night
screaming
REGICIDE
days of pleasure in the past
hoping that these aren't the last
but time is running much too fast
and i don't want to take you to task
because i love you
and thought to know you
but time braught changes
now i'm afraid of you
hey what you're doing there
it's not what it was meant to be
i open all my eyes and doors
and don't know what i'm looking for
'cause there's no answer
and there's no helpless cry
and you're not the only one
to reach things over time
without your will you fly away
we don't want our love to decay
a long glance at all but no view from a hill
i'm searching for the helping pill
i don't recognize you
you don't understand me
our love is drowning
in a misunderstanding sea
hey what you're doing there
it's not what it was meant to be
i open all my eyes and doors
and don't know what i'm looking for
'cause there's no answer
and there's no helpless cry
and you're not the only one
to reach things over time
consider the yearning
see the valley's boundaries
set fire to the thirst of your heart
waste feelings against the sun
fear, time, infinity
extinct candles, immortality
smashing stones
impossibility to flee
make way for the spirits way
see everything with closed eyes
I see a vagabound
creeping down a street
his hands on his wounded knees
he's coming near,
I can look in his eyes
through this dirty skin shines
blossomned life
he's lost in his dreams
he's lost in his wishes
lost in a tale far from reality
no, he doesn't take
his eyes from me
the world changed immediately
the world turns inside out
I'm imprisoned
by his fantasy
this look imprisoned me
this look imprisoned me
I'm lost in his tears
I'm lost in his tears
it's been a few days
that i began to feel
something inside us
is not the way i ought to be
all i know is that somehow
you slipped away
and all what remains
is just a mess inside of me
because i see
though you're beside me
i can not reach you
you're anywhere but here
do you feel the waters rise outside
there's no place to hide
drowning in hopeful desperation
but still i see the sun up in the sky
while clouds are passing by
shining with hopeful desperation
can we stop us from losing ourselves
now i wonder if we can rearrange inside
and if there's a chance to find
a little space of time
so we gotta find out
where to turn from here
or if all the closed doors never
can be opened again
because i see
i see her getting of her cloud
all alone in the dark
where angels fly she's born
but somehow never reached the stars
her feelings are lost inside
tight by abandoned soul
still stumbling, she trumbling
while her past sneakes up from behind
it seems like the sun has
never raised an eye to her
her freedom and beautiful spirit
smashed by abandoned soul
she still feels the horses running
in her lonely heart
but her broken wings won't let her
won't let her fly
i wish that a new love could
bring back the smile to her face
how i tried to catch her, but she's falling
crawling down her road
somebody else wears her crown
sold by abandoned soul
i saw the skies turn red
diseases spread out of the dreams we had
and when you look at me
i can see world's destiny
and after all we betray us
all your sorrow, all your pain,
all your thoughts they were in vain
everytime i look at you i just can't speak
'cause your life is nothing but a fairy's tear
your future holds the key
to a lifetime tragedy
and your reality
is nothing but false fantasy
and after all we betray us
all your sorrow, all your pain,
all your thoughts they were in vain
everytime you smile and laugh you just can't see
'cause your life is nothing but a fairy's tear
all our sorrow, all our pain,
all our thoughts they were in vain
everytime we try to talk we only hear
that our lifes are nothing but fairytears
Diegetic world
I follow you everywhere just show me what to buy
There's no escape
Anyway, everything's fake and so am I
No use to be myself!
Oh, suck the marrow out of me
Oh, I wear the latest rage
Oh, the last bit of my dignity
I don't care
I am rehearsed
So that I don't fail, I do not ever ask my soul
Cause I might find
I'm singing your line, walking your way, I'm hanging on
No use to see myself!
Oh, suck the marrow out of me
Oh, I'm hiding from my self
Oh, the last bit of my dignity
I don't care
Oh, suck the marrow out of me
Oh, so, do you like me now
Oh, the last bit of my dignity
Born in a ruin that should have been his home
He has never seen the sun
From the first day familiar with fear
But this he couldn't understand
He just wants to live in peace -
Dreamt from a life in harmony but he had
No chance to rescue, none to leave
Just saw parents in panic, screaming: "Just get out of
here! "
In a flash they were gone there
And left me forever
But the fragrance of war still remains
In a flash I was alone here
Got nothing but my fear
And the fragrance of war still remains
So I was shifted for myself
Couldn't trust anyone else
Panicky I ran through fields of sorrow
Always waiting for relief
"Am I just another victim?
Beaten up by policy?
Will I be counted as a carcass?
Just a figure statistically? "
In a flash I was gone there
Left warfare forever
But the fragrance of war still remains
In a flash I was alone here
And now I lost my fear
But the fragrance of war still remains
"Just keep up again", familiar voices said
I was mentally deranged
"Open your eyes", but the voices were disguised
I was rearranged
By this vision inside
Did not want to turn around, cause still I was bounded
By the fragrance of war
Fettered by the laws
In a flash I was gone there
Left warfare forever
But the fragrance of war still remains
In a flash I was alone here
And now I lost my fear
But the fragrance of war still remains
One man decides over millions of humans
We are powerless, have to watch it
And we hear, that Government says:
"The state of war aims at prospectively freedom " but
Since five month we've been on this journey
Every day meant a new triumph
Every night brought exciting stories
But this is not what I was dreaming of
His cruelness and crime are not enough
The curse of greed changed my target
Way too many threads I've spoken. I won't let my will
be broken
I will stop this madness. I will mutiny today!
So I grab the dagger
Cut through the Captain's throat
Screaming and fighting I capture the sailer
To get back the treasure trove
I had won - I was the ruler
Just like a king without a crown
I led my men to wars and battles
With a feeling something's still undone
No one ever dies - what have we become?
The years passed by and we never had a loss
Way too many years were gone and not one of our
leaguers fallen
I will stop this madness. I will break this curse today
So I grab the dagger
Cut through my own throat
Screaming and fighting I'm waiting for agony
To get rid of the awful curse
And the Captain was waiting in all of these years
All of these years for revenge
Revenge was his way to find peace
To find peace
So I grab the dagger
Cut through my own throat
Screaming and fighting I'm waiting for agony
Since I was young so young
I learned to see what others wanted me to be
I practised it all my life in many different ways
So now I'm the master of masks
I can't find the boundary
Where others end and I begin
I can't decide
My colours merge into those of others
He's the man, they say he's the hype
In all his fame, no one would have thought that he
might
Be living a lie and not his own history
He sold all his colours to the pop industry
You just take the outside as if there's nothing in here
She is a sweet girl that hides carefully
Her fateful secret, she's longing to be
Graceful and skinny like those girls on TV
She threw up all her colours to look that pretty
They can't find the boundary
Where media ends and they begin
They cannot hide
Their colours got lost in this world of others
She tried to escape from her bleak and poor home
A stranger took her far
But kept none of his promises
Locked up in a little room
He takes the money from the bedside table
Again she pretends to be somewhere else
They don't mind the boundary
Where their greed must end cause her beauty begins
No hope in sight
Her colours, sold and paralyzed
So now is the time that the resistance breaks and the
only true might of this world is enjoying it's mastery
to the full...
We're on a turning point of time, as the throne once is
overturned and built of calamity and perdition again.
And this ludicrous herd, led by a princess who wants to
sojourn this power???
I don't know how and when this war started
But I'm here to stop it
I was sent through pitch and squalor
To opt this fight for us
To take these crowns for us
My crowd is as mighty as the storm
Now is the time – the kings will decline this mastery
demise
They'll lay down their sceptres, the crowns are
destructed
...the turning point of time
So you really think, that you could destroy our long,
dark time of reign with this cluster of varlets,
leading into war?
Just this plan exhibits that you are unable to reign!
You will be perished! None of you will remain!
I guess you can't believe your time is over
You will feel our strength
You and your might is going to the ground
New laws will be made
New eras be created
And also your men will stand by my side
Now is the time – the kings will decline this mastery
demise
They'll lay down their sceptres, the crowns are
destructed
...the turning point of time
Now is the time – the kings will decline this mastery
demise
They'll lay down their sceptres, the crowns are
destructed
...the turning point of time
The sky will be cloudless – darkness will yield
We committed regicide
And we picked up the sceptres, put on the crowns
In my dreams i still can see
the life that used to comfort me
but i know it fades away
in every minute day by day
now it seems i lost my way
searching a place where i could stay
i became a living lie
while lonely voices started to cry
and so i face the setting sun
our past can never be undone
paradise i tried to find
and nothing else i had in mind
with blind eyes i walked on by
the things i didn't even try
looking back i only see
failure, endless misery
that is why i hear at last
just lonely voices from the past
and so i face the setting sun
a cagebird trying to fly with broken wings
our past can never be undone
what lies beyond remains a mystery
I was getting in another of these strange rooms, to
wait for the news what's wrong with me
As they wrote it down, sickness overcame me - for hours
I was unable to speak
How can this be? I've never done a bad thing. Why have
I been chosen from above?
Hey - look at me! How do I deserve this? My absolute
trust is getting lost.
Could someone break the silence?!
Could you please take your hands off me?!
Can you hear me?!
Could someone talk to me?!
Could someone take away this pain?!
Please, call my name!
What am I to do? Call for the Grim Reaper? Accept this
is my only destiny?
Hundreds of injections, neverending inquieries. I'm
slowly feeling like a guinea pig.
Oh, I wanna scream and I wanna hear me screaming. I
wanna hera the noise of everyday.
But I can only hear me breathing, black despaired I'm
leaving and again I am learning how to live.
Could someone break the silence?!
Could you please take your hands off me?!
Can you hear me?!
Could someone talk to me?!
Could someone take away this pain?!
Please, call my name!
Everything's inseide out
My world stopped turning around
Feeling worthless and blank
So powerless - I will give up
I will give up
Could someone break the silence?!
Could you please take your hands off me?!
Can you hear me?!
Could someone talk to me?!
Could someone take away this pain?!

Read between the lines
It’s surprising what you’ll find
So I read the story of my life
She strolls past a field, alone, without need
of thinking about chasing her bare feet,
that seem to not touch the ground, down that street,
yet knowing that wherever she'd stop, she would fall
into sleep
Her mind's still lost far away to her love she left
that day
she escaped from her old self, that threatened to decay
All that's left is his voice, a faithful companion, a
of hope, whispering those words as she feels stand at
try to keep up
though you may never stop
walking down that road to your heart
try to believe
you have to relieve
yourself from those chains of reality
Midnight by noon she's kept awake by a strong effort
not to forsake,
not to go astray between all this increasing, awful
ache,
those plunges, her wounded skin, this blurry truth and
sticky fake,
still his words keep telling her heart, this is less
than she could take
try to keep up
though you may never stop
walking down that road to your heart
try to believe
you have to relieve
yourself from those chains of reality
She drags herself along trough a thickening dark dust
longing for salvation out of this heavy crust
that imprisons her, longing for the love that she has
lost
knowing this is the only path to soothe her sensual
lust
try to keep up
though you may never stop
walking down that road to your heart
try to believe
you have to relieve
So I go on, got banished from
Your heart, isn't this senseless?
My story's torn apart,
Don't know how to start it all over again
I feel the air getting thick
So hard to rech out, gotta breathe
Yes, it caught up with me again
This unpredictable life
Those scraps of paper lie all dispersed
I try to recompose them
I need a new focus, some hope, more glue
To fix my life a new meaning
I feel my lungs getting weak
It's so hard to rech out, gotta breathe
Yes, it caught up with me again
This unpredictable life
Where is this all leading to?
We're crushing and rebuilding our homes
Will something ever be, ever be for good?
All those chances we take, those plans we make
Is there such a thing as fate?
All I have is questions, where is this all leading to?
Can't move my arms, they're leaden still
It's so hard to rech out, gotta breathe
Yes, it caught up with me again
This unpredictable life
This unpredictable life
(Music by Gerhard Storesund)
(Lyrics by Gerhard Storesund)
Ridden through the flame
The ring be his bane
The oathkeeper's brother bid
The ringkeeper slain
Fire-raisers hand
The grief and the rage
The ill-fated will had won
The ill-fated wage
Fish of the wild-wood
Worm smooth crawling
With wolf-meat mingled
They minced for him
Then in the beaker
In the wine his mouth knew
They set it, still doing
More deeds of wizards
The fate has overcome
maimed and outrun
The brave breed of the noble son's
Vile unjust done
(Brynhild:)
"Long shall ye have
land and men of war
Thou who now has slain
Sigurds death done"
Now he has fallen
The son of Gods triumphant
Norns have their judgment
Death knell toll
We are the children of the wolf
Fall to your sleep
Thy court of mailcoat's gem
Swift peace reap
The shriek of a raven
Cut through the air
Fire!
A cry, a shade
Vanished into haze
You can throw my life away
But i'll never lose my faith
I belive in something
Something you've never had
You spread your lies now pay the price
Tomorrow you'll be dead
Regicide - Thunderclouds were swifty passing by
Regicide - Rays of hope, I gazed into the sunlit sky
Regicide - Turn the page, another day is gone
Regicide - Free your soul and your spirit will live on
Fire!
Ancient hills on the horizon
I lead you through the storm
Another time, another place
Our future king is born
Memories are forever
Engraved on my mind
Empty words, broken dreams
My old life lies behind
Regicide - Thunderclouds were swifty passing by
Regicide - Rays of hope, I gazed into the sunlit sky
Regicide - Turn the page, another day is gone
Regicide - Free your soul and your spirit will live on
Thunderclouds were swifty passing by
Rays of hope, I gazed into the sunlit sky
Turn the page, another day is gone
