This hovering shadow I see
It's touch of death surrounds me
No glimmer of hope in a distant sight
Memories of life
On this vision they feed
Leaving this world
The end is complete
Surely the bottom deep
Visions dark as never seen
Looking down on an empty shell
Bones left for the earth to dissolve
We have reached the end my friend
This is the end
Surely the last descend
Those who enter can never leave
As darkness swallows all light
The end is complete
Surely the bottom deep
Visions dark as never seen
Looking down on an empty shell
Bones left for the earth to dissolve
We have reached the end my friend
We have reached the end
We have reached the end
We have reached the end
Never reveal the family secrets
Hide the rats in your basement
There's an old lady in her gray rags
Who always sleeps in the park
Nothing can ever change the past
Her eyes look like they were made of glass
But now there is no more pain to feel
This morning she was found stone cold in the park
Drawn into drugs to drain the pain
Cold with fever - deny, or face the fact
It's not that far away from here
Not that far away from where we live
A siren sounds and break the silence of the night
Minds getting black
No reconnection at all...
Destined to schedule a new meeting
Reach the human mind in the mirror
Nothing is left but the door to the soul
But you've been put on hold again...
Details revealed in the morning paper
Rumors spreading like fire in dry grass
Nothing can ever change the past
Her pale skin was torn by years in despairs
But now there is no more pain to feel
This morning she was found stone cold in the park
Destined to schedule a new meeting
Reach the human mind into the mirror - into the mirror...
Take a good look, into the eyes of the weak
Let's throw them all away, like rats in the streets
Paramedics are closing the black bag
Kids are playing, laughing in the park
No place to call home, no one even cares
There is always a dark family secret to hide
An old picture of the family queen
She didn't leave them anything
In the shadows the society feeds
Frozen asleep in the park
Drawn into drugs to drain the pain
Cold with fever - deny, or face the fact
It's not that far away from here
Not that far from where we live
The siren sounds for the 5th time this night
My mind is black
Just another night in the park
Destined to schedule a new meeting
Get another fill to keep the blanket warm
Nothing is left but the door to the soul
One morning in the silence of nature
Two shadows dance in the sunrise
Never knowing what's on the other side of the wall
What is it hiding this absence of secrets
Behind the gate to the unknown
Lying obscure behind these highest walls
What is hiding in the garden of secrets, behind the wall
Who is the creator of these illusions of lies
A brand new project Eden
Evil seeds just waiting to bloom
Someone is testing human fate
Living in this world of secrets
In an underground sphere of science
Searching for the place where all evil began
Born into this state of innocence
An Arcadia of coming future life
Reality strikes
When the two headed snake bites
Fooled by the serpent
Who took a bite
Of the forbidden fruit
From the holy tree
Fooled by the serpent
Someone took a bite
Of the forbidden fruit
In the garden
What is hiding in the gardens of secrets, behind the wall
Who is the creator of these illusions of lies
A brand new project Eden
Evil seeds just waiting to bloom
Someone is testing human fate
Occasional sinners
That breeds
And form new life
One day someone will go back
To the place where all evil began
Only those who pray every day will find the light
With guidance on their way
Heading back to the land behind the gate
Back to the land of all evil
I feel cold
When the night takes over
Will we ever find our peace again
We must search for another home far across the fields
Towards what tomorrow will bring
We will be strong
Together we will make it
And never be tempted by evil again
We must leave
To find our new home beyond the sun
Hand in hand
We'll walk to find the light
Fooled by the serpent
Who took a bite
Of the forbidden fruit
From the holy tree
Fooled by the serpent
Someone took a bite
Of the forbidden fruit
In the garden
What is hiding in the gardens of secrets, behind the wall
Who is the creator of these illusions of lies
A brand new project Eden
Evil seeds just waiting to bloom
Face suicide at the gates,keep your evil away!
From the mother of civilization. For resolve to compel!
UNDER A LUMINOUS SKY!!!
Play the role of your holy God. To destroy for belief!
While these subsequent uprisings, continuing until present day!
UNDER A LUMINOUS SKY!!!
They kill, for the sake of killing,
To reach a new, and better reality.(x4)
Warning of the danger approaching!
Those who act under illusions!
Cycle of violence that never ends, there is no way to varify.
Door to a truce is open, but only when the last soldier leaves,
But only when the last soldier leaves!!
They kill, for the sake of killing,
To reach a new, and better reality!(x2)
Those who identify themselves in, the locked dimension of the turmoil!
Two pieces of one kind we live our separated life's
One hundred miles are not so far away
In spite the map of our world
A planet with so many good intensions
The thunder disturbs the calm a tidal wave so strong
What can we do, when we ask our self why we try
The winter is closing in
Invisible frost tears on my skin
On the magic dreams we live, when the distance tear us apart
Like in a fairy tale we fly away into the night
And when the winter is done you'll be back in my arms
[Solo]
Like in a fairy tale we fly away into the night
And when the winter is done you'll be back in my arms
My arms...my arms...
Growing strong by being alone
Knowing that you'll soon me home
Then nothing on Earth can manage to tear us apart
And a garden in blossom will wipe the tears from our eyes
Like in a fairy tale we fly into the night
The thunder disturbs the calm a tidal wave so strong
What can we do, when we ask our self why we try
The winter is closing in
Invisible frost tears on my skin
On the magic dreams we live, when the distance tear us apart
The thunder disturbs the calm a tidal wave so strong
What can we do, when we ask our self why we try
The winter is closing in
Invisible frost tears on my skin
On the magic dreams we live, when the distance tear us apart
To suffer when all hope is denied
Waged down by sorrow, marked by grief
To suffer when all hope is denied
Waged down by sorrow, marked by grief
A home in flames, fathomless night
Seek shelter from pain, I wish to forget...
At the edge of the world, last stand has been taken
Feeding on the enemy, with a clean shot
Deadly screams, don't reveal your presence
It's hard to ignore the blackened debris
Silence surrounds
A broken voice
Silence surrounds
A broken voice
Unthinkable days, man against man
Fighting on plains, streams of pitch and soil
The final conflict, between the remains of the world
Brother fights brother, over poisoned water
Silence surrounds
A broken voice
Silence surrounds
A broken voice
Silence surrounds, silence grows
A word so tall, brother we are close
A sleep so deep, stance wounded ear
Look at the shadows, brother we are so close to the goal
Unthinkable days, man against man
Fighting on plains, streams of pitch and soil
The final conflict, between the remains of the world
Brother fights brother, over poisoned water
At the edge of the world, man against man
Living on fear, deadly screams can be heard
A home in flames, a child left for it self's to care
Seeking shelter from pain, wishing to forget...
... to forget
Then, a strange light came from the north
And light went dark under heavy sky's
Then, a strange light came from the north
And light went dark under heavy sky's
A strange light came from the north
And light went dark under heavy sky's
Then, a strange light came from the north
And light went dark under heavy sky's
[Solo]
Silence surrounds
A broken voice
Silence surrounds
A broken voice
Watch over yourself, brother
Watch over yourself, brother
On the shadows line where whispers creep
From the world above to the world beneath
On waves of silver I dreamed of gold
And rang the mark where my shadow fall
Take away this illusion - hide all the lies
Show no more fear - rise with the tide
Dreamed I sailed to the mirrored edge that dragged me down to my ocean bed
And a silent shore waits with silver sand
Divide the sun - reveal my desire
Take away this illusion - hide all the lies
Show no more fear - rise with the tide
With beauty before me, beauty behind
The sun in the morning is the beauty I find
Where sky land and water reveals together
I lay my body down, in the ocean forever
The seaweeds in the ocean shall be my deathbed
Untie my hands and let my spirit free
Should I die to forgive
As colors fly
Try not to live
And paint my skin
Be with me here
To wake me up
At the ocean we are free
It stops the time
She cast her fair body, and long blond hair
And closed her hands around me
In our ocean bed
I'm caught up in this wet web she's spun
As eyes of the ocean watch our secret vow...
The seaweeds in the ocean shall be my deathbed
A silent ocean line
The world at war, hate flows and now I'm questioning
We ask, is this the way? Do we believe?
No one's answering...
A few words may be heard
Temptation within my head
Collecting the treads of fate in a colour less 3D world
Now I'm filling up inside
A snake sleeps by my side
The news spitting words of lies transmitting waves of visual decay
Once it opened, I climbed in
Communication - wondering
Once it opened, I climbed in
Communication - wondering
Lost in the connection
Communication sublime
Lost in the connection
Communication sublime
Blood, flows, in the pulse
Like liquid hate we fall, as deep
In the network soil no one's wondering
Generations lost
Holy devastation to land
Crops need water to grow but eternal hatred we sow
Guns and bullets won't work
Vaporize their souls
Our land slowly rots and decay
No pride left
Once it opened, I climbed in
Communication - wondering
Once it opened, I climbed in
Communication - wondering
Lost in the connection
Communication sublime
Lost in the connection
Communication sublime
Deep in my inner believes I can't find any relief
Enemies in the mirror of life taking control of all resorts
Deep in my inner believes I can't find any relief
Enemies in the mirror of life taking control of all resorts
A few words may be heard
Temptation within my head
Collecting the treads of fate in a colour less 3D world
Now I'm filling up inside
A snake sleeps by my side
The news spitting words of lies transmitting waves of visual decay
Lost in the connection
Communication sublime
Lost in the connection
Here in a deadly maze, there is something hiding in the dark,
In clouded minds where hate and anger collide
I spiral into a grand illusion in a world of reality beyond
Then the secret of my inner self will reveal
I see tears in your eyes
I sense weakness inside
I will take you far away,
To the deepest of your dreams
Let me in on your stream,
To the entrance of your deep
I watched in disbelief
Imprisoned in a deadly maze
The enemy rise from within
Risking their lives on a dangerous search
With conspiracy in mind
Taste the hate within
Human weakness
A solution to the mystery
With conspiracy in mind
Now hear my warning
All you sinners on the porch
Sweet relief from the pain of longing
Remember this twisting smile
Unspeakable anguish
Heaven's out of reach
When mother nature will surely
Descend, and sleep for eternity
Please release the weight
That lies on my shoulders
Please release the weight
That lies on my shoulders
I spiral into a grand illusion
In a world of reality beyond
I see tears in your eyes
Always out of reach
I want to sleep for eternity
[Solo]
I see tears in your eyes
I sense weakness inside
I will take you far away,
To the deepest of your dreams
Let me in on your stream,
To the entrance of your deep
I watched in disbelief
Imprisoned in a deadly maze
The enemy rise from within
Risking their lives on a dangerous search
With conspiracy in mind
Taste the hate within
Human weakness
A solution to the mystery
I watch the tears fall down
All I see now is my pain
A pale face reflects in the mirror
Watching it all disappear
Time flows but no on calls
To see if I'm here, still waiting...
Watching it all disappear
Time has spoken
Skin fades to pale grey
Days, turn to years
Ticking... watching it all disappear
I close my eyes but I still see
The dark past that haunts my sleep
Why can't they leave me alone
I want it all to disappear - from memory...
Want it all to disappear
I still see their shapes
Shadows that can't be defined
Turning around in circles
Broken... watching it all disappear
Diving deep into forever
Trying to keep this evil away
To survive and carry on the next day
Destroy this destructive instinct
Why can't they leave me alone
Why - to live on in this empty void
WHY! WAIT! NO ONE! CARES!
Why can't they leave me alone
Why - to return for another day
Diving deep into forever
Trying to keep this evil away
To survive and carry on to the next day
Destroy this destructive instinct
Watching it all disappear
Time has spoken
Skin fades to pale grey
Days, turn to years - ticking...
....want it all to disappear
I still see their shapes
Shadows that can't be defined
Turning around in circles
Broken... watching it all disappear
Taste this fragile piece of mind
And watch it fade to grey
If I could trade this pain away
To understand the purpose
I'm embarked upon this life
A constant brief of flashes
Maybe this time I will get it right
The future sees the past
If I fail to conceive
The time has arrived
For killing the past
And come back to life
Come back to life
I need to see before I can believe what I have seen
It's dark an I am cold, all these memories still remains
A sense of fear, am I cynical
Have I failed to conceive
Seeing brief moments in life
Time to erase the past
And come back to life
...come back to life
Round and round I'm turning
In a circle containing myself
Round and round I'm turning
In a circle containing myself
All my cases of improvement
Disappeared without a warning
All my cases of improvement
Disappeared without a warning
If my heart could do the thinking
So my head could relax for a moment
And cope with the feelings
So many words
So fragile minded
My life breaking apart
In so many different stages
With the questions comes the dark
And the voices I hear reflects
When I'm lying all alone in the night
In the shadow cast
Trying to hide the fear
In the shadow cast
Making the images blur
When this strange wave
Drags me into decay
Dreams shattered
As I am drifting away
In the shadow cast
Trying to hide the fear
In the shadow cast
Do you feel the presence
Of this unknown force
Do you feel the waves
That drag you into decay
It's my time to feel the pain
Hoping someone will salvage me
From this wreckage of a mind
The stage is set
Back from when I was a young boy
Round and round I'm turning
In a circle containing myself
Round and round I'm turning
In a circle containing myself
All my cases of improvement
Disappeared without a warning
All my cases of improvement
Disappeared without a warning
W A R N I N G !
Maybe this time, I will get it right
Two leafs linked by blood
Drifting away from the tree
Will they ever be able to
Take control of their own existence
With different prosperity
They enter the world alone
Equal but so unlike
Leaving home in their own direction
Stripped down to the concrete
Wet, cold and alone
Neon lights, addicted
Definition of home... so material
Some are born into wealth and prosperity
All you need, for riding "the gravy train"
Struck by power
Pouring another liquid fire
As second fly a storm arise
In this unpredictable life
Set in control of your inner demons
In memories vague, loosing fate
In this unpredictable life
Set in control of your inner demons
Act of fate
Do you think I care?
It has always been Me, Myself and I
Even a stray dog will be my friend
Before I reach your level
Don't put me down, please leave me alone
We were both born with nothing
Why am I the family's black sheep
Stripped down to the concrete
Wet, cold and alone
Neon lights, addicted
We are all...
Material - Scorn
Material - Hate
Material - Waste
Material - World
Material - Terror
Material - Pain
How can it be, I want to conceive
Don't give my sympathy, ignore me
Worthless life, while someone sits up high
Don't moralize, ignore me rather
Stripped down to the concrete
Wet, cold and alone
Neon lights, addicted
Definition of home... so material
Some are brought into life as society's waste
A cess-pool of trash that we all tend to forget
Struck by the power
Pouring another liquid fire
As second fly a storm arise
In this unpredictable life
Set in control of your inner demons
In memories vague, loosing fate
In this unpredictable life
Set in control of your inner demons
As second fly a storm arise
In this unpredictable life
Set in control of your inner demons
In memories vague, loosing fate
In this unpredictable life
Set in control of your inner demons
Act of fate
Material - Scorn
Material - Hate
Material - Waste
Material - World
Material - Terror
Along the fragile edge of darkness
Down to chaos seething below
Rise in the grace of moonlight
The stranger came in the night
I've been waiting for so long now...
Hungry as the sea
Turbulent as the storm
Deepest eyes of mystery shine
A guiding light sent for me
I've been a trader of so much pain
Now a harvester of life
All are born as barren souls
To a life free of all sins
A place where evil awaits for those
The labyrinth of years must go
Time has come to cleanse the soul
Our home far behind the sun
A place to plant the eternal seed
As fragile as roses you'll grow
I've been lower than so called Hell
Been used, and I've been scorned
I used to count myself as one
Into million stars I've become
I've been a trader of so much pain
Now a harvester of life
Time has come to cleanse the soul
Our home far behind the sun
A place to plant the eternal seed
So fragile...
Time has come to cleanse the soul
Our home far behind the sun
A place to plant the eternal seed
As fragile as roses you'll grow
Your ship can never sail
Without a proper wind in its sails
This wind you now will feel
Coming strong
And it will never leave you
Abandoned ashore
As long as my name remains
There will always be a safe port of call [x2]
All are born as barren souls
To a life free of all sins
A place where evil awaits for those
The labyrinth of years must go
Time has come to cleanse the soul
Our home far behind the sun
A place to plant the eternal seed
So fragile...
Time has come to cleanse the soul
Our home far behind the sun
A place to plant the eternal seed
As fragile as roses you'll grow
You'll grow...
I've been a trader of so much pain
I've been waiting for so long now
I've been a trader of so much pain
Deep under the mountain in the darkest of the forest
In the shadows that falls from the trees
Deep in the black lake don't dare to go near
Don't you dare to go near
Behind the door to the closet
Reflections in the mirror
Every sounds you hear at night
If you look outside you'll see their pounding eyes
You'll see their eyes as light that glows in the night
Hiding under your bed
They feed on our fear
Created in our dreams at night when we are asleep
Where all the creatures of the underworld lives
Never out in the light
Afraid to die in the morning light
To dust they crumble of they're touched by the daylight
[Solo]
She have always been there since the first tall tale was told by the fire
To their children before they tuck them into bed at night
Tale of a Dream weaver
Stories about a beautiful siren
With a song that fool's every man to follow
She lives deep in the lake
Raving along in the full moons light
Watching her children play
Fooling around in the dead of night
Be home by dawn
Walk in the obscure
In the silence of the night
Don't wake the sleeping child
A window of glory light
From deep within our dream
From dusk till dawn, we can hear them ponder
In the night they come, from deep within
Frozen to stone, while asleep at night
The night awakens our fear
But were always saved by the morning light
They feed on our fear
I have seen their eyes
As lights that glows in the night
Hiding under my bed
Days are passing, weeks are counted
Two weeks, four weeks, six weeks gone
Where am I now, I'm missing home
Behind locked doors they await my plea
Do they all see through me, do they all know?
[Prechorus]
I'm sending this message to all
Hoping sometime it will reach a shore
Someone to find, bring back hope
I will wait - cold and forlorn
[Chorus]
Does it matter where we are
In an orphan home, or in a mansion of gold
All these people with no place to call home
Too bad no one cares
Who decides where the journey starts
A tidal wave will bring me safe away
Until I reach a distant shore
I've been away for a long time now
No one is waiting for me I know
Time will erase all my darkest dreams
I'm still counting days
[Prechorus]
I'm sending this message to all
Hoping sometime it will reach a shore
Someone to find, bring back hope
I will wait - cold and forlorn
[Chorus]
Does it matter where we are
In an orphan home, or in a mansion of gold
All these people with no place to call home
Too bad no one cares
Who decides where the journey starts
Days are passing, weeks are counted
Two weeks, four weeks, six weeks gone
Where am I now, I'm missing home
Behind locked doors they await my plea
Do they all see through me, do they all know?
No one is waiting for me, I know...
It's all going to get better now
Fool's paradise - the promised fields
Thinking positive, not the opposite
After the tide, a new dawn will rise
It's all going to get better now
The beholder comes, to clear my head
Thinking positive, not the opposite
Six feet under, the end to it all will come
[Prechorus]
I'm sending this message to all
Hoping sometime it will reach a shore
Someone to find, bring back hope
I will wait - cold and forlorn
[Chorus]
Does it matter where we are
In an orphan home, or in a mansion of gold
All these people with no place to call home
Too bad no one cares
Monuments, rise upon arrival
Bizarre theories
Questions and controversies remain
Left clues to their origin in the stones
Did isolation create this enigma?
Anyone who tries to break the code
Will have to sacrifice their precious life
We can not make our holy God cry
Fire will flood from his mouth on the hill
Anyone who tries to break the code
Will have to sacrifice their precious life
We can not make our holy God cry
Fire will flood from his mouth on the hill
Paradise, surrounded by an endless blue
Alone in this world
Waiting for salvation to come
Outcasts, for reason still unknown
Voyagers, found it empty and abandoned
Anyone who tries to break the code
Will have to sacrifice their precious life
We can not make our holy God cry
Fire will flood from his mouth on the hill
Any one who tries to break the code
Will have to sacrifice
Their one chance in life
And when the darkness falls on shores
Olden rites from a secret lore
Stone carved eyes leaves a shadow mark
Deep in these eyes reads a prophecy
A lost continent of liquefying stone
Burned through the crust
And erupted into the Earth
A lifeform unknown
Looking out on the coming wave
Waiting for what to come
Mold the statue of pure fear obsession
Afraid of what to come, mold the statue
Afraid of what to come, mold the statue
So observe meant to please the Gods
Afraid of what to come, mold the statue
So obscure meant to please the Gods
... The Gods
And when the darkness falls on shores
Olden rites from a secret lore
Stone carved eyes leaves a shadow mark
Deep in these eyes reads a prophecy
Moon dance in the skyline
Where the oceans meet
Trigger the mind of the staring stone eyes
A lifeform unknown
Looking out on the coming wave
Waiting for what to come
Mold the statue so pure
A lifeform unknown
Looking out on the coming wave
Waiting for what to come
Mold the statue of pure fear obsession
And when the darkness falls on shores
Olden rites from a secret lore
Stone carved eyes leaves a shadow mark
Deep in these eyes reads a prophecy
A view of reason
Rotation of the sun
To fulfill their God's prophecy
Mold the statue of pure fear obsession
Disappearing in the vast-seas
Wiped away by a tidal wave?
And when the last tree went down
They left a mark for the future to find
Afraid of what to come, mold the statue
So obscure meant to please the Gods
Is this a clue to the modern race
Who left this mark
Last night I had a dream
About the existence to it all
Vague visions in the black of night
Made by shiver, made me reconsider
That night I had a dream
About a raven so black and glimmer
It came to me in the dead of night
The raven's cry, a cold, soulful need
In the black of the night
The raven of darkness
In the black of the night
Then it all faded away
I fear I woke, so many thoughts
What we inherit, when will we perish
Need to change for those who come
Our existence, the final extinction
The final extinction
Lost a loved one, we know time will come
Gave birth to my own special one
Pick a number, stay in line
I'll give you strength, for you to light the way
In the black of the night
The raven of darkness
In the black of the night
Unfledged but still divine
We all know there is a price to pay
Time will come where it all will fail
A shelter in Heaven for those who pray?
Birth, life, and then will come death!
Eyes of silver reflect the last breath
I see generations fall
Admire it now before the last remains fade
We will cause human's empire to fall
Empire to fall!
Born - sanctuary denied
Forlorn - mesmerized in fear
Behold the raven's cry
Black wings bringer of pain
Behold the raven's cry
Through its silver eyes I saw the fall
In the black of the night
The raven of darkness
In the black of the night
The raven of darkness
In the black of the night
Do you think they could have a secret agenda
An iron hand over the last remains of humanity
The final breath of life, allusions of the end
Are we all part of this scheme?
Another coin in payment for your soul
Another bone in the lifegiving soil
Reincarnated - as spawns of the darkness
All we crave to passes will leave a hole into deep
As payment to exist they lost their soul
Bones buried beneath
We are ... slaves of creation
Reincarnated, a revolution
We are ... merged into perfect form
Regeneration came with a steep price
Into a realm of wealth and comfort
How can we even resist this claim
A manifestation of a perfect empire (your kingdom come)
Where pain and disgrace are absent
Do you think they could have a secret agenda
Protect the nation, with hidden intentions, for reasons why?
One day when the devil calls your name
And when he does you will think of me
Another coin in payment for your soul
Another bone in the lifegiving soil
As modern Gods claim sacrifice
The flames will feed on the doomed
Vested interest controls the flow
Transaction on the wire
All we crave to passes will leave a hole into deep
As payment to exist they lost their soul
Bones buried beneath
We are ... merged into perfect form
Regeneration came with a steep price
Reincarnated - as spawns of the darkness
Reincarnated ...
On this ground, where ancient spirits once were summoned
It's said to hold the way to salvation
Demanding chaos, for the unknown times ahead
Where the eldest gathered for sights of the future
Preparing the ritual
...sacrifice [x4]
How can they resist these gifts that we give
Our most valuable possesion
Behind masked eyes, material claims
Was not a price high enough for this ...sacrifice
In search for better times, adorn gifts from virgin hands
Should be the price to the angelic hoast
Around center stone, they all made the final choice
Prosperity in exchange for blood
On ancient ground - They paid the price [x2]
Sacrificial rites, blueprint for eternal life
As the phenom would gather the clouds
Pleasure the Gods, then harvest salvation
Awaiting the feast of the Hunter's Moon
On ancient ground - They paid the price
On ancient ground - Awaiting the harvest
As the eldest rise, they gathered by
Giving their pray to the ancient ground
A sacrifice, for better times
In order to please the ancient ground
Most precious gifts, they could ever give
To the feast of Gods on ancient ground
They gazed in awe, while soil sucked dry
As the impassive stonehead, demanded more!
Circle of stones, in perfect alignments with the stars
With a gift of life, a passage to the otherworld
Within the enclosure, shines the eye on the altar stone
An instrument to read the signs of the moon
Preparing ritual
...sacrifice [x4]
How can they resist these gifts that we give
Our most valuable possesion
Behind masked eyes, material claims
Was not a price high enough for this ...sacrifice
On ancient ground - They paid the price
On ancient ground - Awaiting the harvest
...as the impassive stonehead, demanded more!
Where am I now?
Have I turned blind?
Broken down by the guilt of my killing hand
My bleeding victim
Folds her hands an prays
My bleeding victim
Folds her hands and prays
The morning rise the sky burns red
Sheets are soaked by unknown blood and soil
Memories burn - I crawl in pain
The scene I see is becoming more surreal
Beyond the veil - stalking my prey
Beyond control - I'm on my way
Drawn into the center of the weak
Madness flares within my angry mind
Alone in this maze where voices speak
In twisted tongues that taunt for evil deeds
Beyond the veil - stalking my prey
Beyond control - Unveil my pain
I feel the blood slowly flow
In a reflecting eye I see them die
Heartbeat that silently decays
Sinking deep into the Earth's hungry soil
I will return
Same face
With a new mask
Trying to hide
From the guilt
Of my killing hand
My bleeding victim
Folds her hands and prays
My bleeding victim
Folds her hands and...
....prays while the blood slowly flow
In a reflecting eye I see them die
A heartbeat that silently decays
Sinking deep into the Earth's hungry soil
Drawn into the center of the weak
Madness flares within my angry mind
Alone in this maze where voices speak
In twisted tongues that taunt for evil deeds
Beyond the evil - I'm on my way
Beyond the evil - Stalking my prey
Beyond the evil - I'm on my way
[Solo]
Always in a state of evolution
Some people try to differ from one another
To beat life's quiz is not an easy task
Hot pepper produce an unpleasant pain
Yet fools come back to feel the burn
Are we lost in the garden of hypocrisy?
Now we have formed a riot against the masses
Information lost before it reach the point
Now we have formed a riot against the masses
Information lost before it reach the point
All system lock down
Go to selfdestruct...
All system lock down
Go to selfdestruct...
Always in a state of evolution
Some people try to differ from one another
An unpleasant pain when we feel the burn
[Solo]
The future is set, the Earth is run by a nuclear sun
Leaders sit high, as we live like worms
The circle is closed history reversed
All we have done for you to be
The world has become what we didn't see
It's time to rise, there's no easy way out
Now we have formed a riot against the masses
Information lost before it reach the point
Now we have formed a riot against the masses
Information lost before it reach the point
All system lock down
Go to selfdestruct...
All system lock down
Go to selfdestruct...
Always in a state of evolution
Some people try to differ from one another
An unpleasant pain when we feel the burn
In a capsule it came
Bellicose as it is
It infected the system
To build a new day
Silently it resists
Waiting as an embryo
The perfect moment to infect
To build it up more superior
A superior becoming
Inside this void it feeds
A conception of the ideal structure
Contained in the flesh
A fountainhead of the rise
Hear my becoming
For I will be...
Hear my becoming
For I will be...
A mutant of the new world [x4]
On this depraved orb I'm wandering
I see others like me
Have we all been transformed?
By this strange lunar halo
No! - The carrier now I am
No! - Of this unearthly syndrome
The carrier now I am
Of this unearthly syndrome
That tears my body down
To recreate the master plan
As I wander the fields of abode
A grey and old man I've become
The birds won't sing anymore
To fragments of dust I dissolve
Crumble to dust
Becoming of man
Hear my becoming
For I will be...
Hear my becoming
For I will be...
A mutant of the new world [x4]
On this depraved orb I'm wandering
I see others like me
Have we all been transformed?
By this strange lunar halo
On this hideous orb I'm wandering
I see others like me
Have we all been transformed?
By this strange lunar halo
No! - The carrier now I am
No! - Of this unearthly syndrome
Locked down as in the capsule it came
All traces of life has been erased
In frozen sleep I seek forgiveness
For my sins have not been paid
Will
Ever
The vision was a test of deprived physical strength
Dipped in the ocean to be born again
My soul was naked without a surface
Then fingers folded around me and gave me a shell
This ship on its travel carried meaningful thoughts
Traveled over me and left their minds
Then a shadow unbound me and stretched me with skin
And adorned my soul with the memories of them
Sailor, sailor burning bright
On the stormy sea at night
Golden heart and undying pride
Their heart lies buried in a bay of Norway
Bring back the memories bring me back in time
Bring back the colors and the scent of meadow lands
Bring back the memories bring me back in time
Bring back the colors and the scent of meadow lands
At dewy prime
Bring back the souls of the dead
At dewy prime - bring back the souls
At dewy prime
Bring back the souls of the dead
At dewy prime - bring back the souls
Bring me back in time to their homeland
Bring back their souls together with me
Bring back their souls to their homeland
Bring me back in time together forevermore...
In remembrance of this kind
That once came round our land
What immortal hand of time
Made a frame and locked the symmetry
Our eyes contemplated
A transmission to the soul
Spectacle of this universe
The night veils its sadness in bloom
And one day will come
Suppress all the dark thoughts
Spirits of our destructive time
Even into plains of ether
Bring back the memories bring me back in time
Bring back the colors and the scent of meadow lands
Bring back the memories bring me back in time
Bring back the colors and the scent of meadow lands
At dewy prime
Bring back the souls of the dead
At dewy prime - bring back the souls
At dewy prime
Bring back the souls of the dead
At dewy prime - bring back the souls
Bring me back in time to their homeland
Bring back their souls together with me
Bring back their souls to their homeland
Bring me back in time together forevermore...
The vision was a test of deprived physical strength
Dipped in the ocean to be born again
My soul was naked without a surface
Then fingers folded around me and gave me a shell
This ship on its travel carried meaningful thoughts
Traveled over me and left their minds
Then a shadow unbound me and stretched me with skin
In solitude, looking into the flame that burns
Alongside with your memory
Desolation, a picture of my fallen star
A broken branch in my family tree
In my family tree
I raise my head, now defying this obvious truth
That night came and our Heaven turned to Hell
That night came and our Heaven turned to Hell
Our Heaven turned to Hell
Drowning hope, remembering all the pain
Fear of loosing memories in the daily haze
It was the time we should fill with laughter
Of our newly arriving joy
The siren grabs you with tragic hunger
Flashing blue, cutting through the view
A message of death, that no one could foresee
Inside this hall, waiting for the fall
Waiting for the fall
My fallen
May not live to roam this earth
My fallen
Changed my life forever
My fallen
Left a mark inside so sore
My fallen
Only solitude within my core
The siren grabs you with tragic hunger
Flashing blue, cutting through the view
A message of death, that no one could foresee
Inside this hall, waiting for the fall
How many dreams, I have chased on my road
I don't feel for anything anymore
All just fragments of disposable waste
A cesspool of terror, displaying hate
I have to face the day
Still denying this obvious truth
That night came and our Heaven turned to Hell
Our Heaven turned to Hell, to Hell
My fallen
May not live to roam this earth
My fallen
Changed my life forever
My fallen
Left a mark inside so sore
My fallen
Only solitude within my core
The siren grabs you with tragic hunger
Flashing blue, cutting through the view
A message of death, that no one could foresee
Inside this hall, waiting for the fall
The fall
Days are passing, weeks are counted
Two weeks, four weeks, six weeks gone
Where am I now, I'm missing home
Behind locked doors they await my plea
Do they all see through me, do they all know?
[Prechorus]
I'm sending this message to all
Hoping sometime it will reach a shore
Someone to find, bring back hope
I will wait - cold and forlorn
[Chorus]
Does it matter where we are
In an orphan home, or in a mansion of gold
All these people with no place to call home
Too bad no one cares
Who decides where the journey starts
A tidal wave will bring me safe away
Until I reach a distant shore
I've been away for a long time now
No one is waiting for me I know
Time will erase all my darkest dreams
I'm still counting days
[Prechorus]
I'm sending this message to all
Hoping sometime it will reach a shore
Someone to find, bring back hope
I will wait - cold and forlorn
[Chorus]
Does it matter where we are
In an orphan home, or in a mansion of gold
All these people with no place to call home
Too bad no one cares
Who decides where the journey starts
Days are passing, weeks are counted
Two weeks, four weeks, six weeks gone
Where am I now, I'm missing home
Behind locked doors they await my plea
Do they all see through me, do they all know?
No one is waiting for me, I know...
It's all going to get better now
Fool's paradise - the promised fields
Thinking positive, not the opposite
After the tide, a new dawn will rise
It's all going to get better now
The beholder comes, to clear my head
Thinking positive, not the opposite
Six feet under, the end to it all will come
[Prechorus]
I'm sending this message to all
Hoping sometime it will reach a shore
Someone to find, bring back hope
I will wait - cold and forlorn
[Chorus]
Does it matter where we are
In an orphan home, or in a mansion of gold
All these people with no place to call home
Too bad no one cares
I'm lost with fever
Drifting into this psycho-sphere
I wish the stars could tell me
Is this it, my last breath
All alone
I'm a master of denial
Don't even try to convince me
Am I conscious or lost
Could this be my final day
Here on earth
I'm taking a leap of fate
Never to look back, or loose control
I'm beyond despair
In silence with my scars
I'm falling
Loosing control
I'm falling
A desecrator
I'm lost with fever
This task called life I failed
I hear an echo from the unknown
I cannot exclude these cynical ideas
I'm taking a leap of fate
Never to look back, or loose control
I'm beyond despair
In silence with my scars
I'm falling
Without control
I'm falling
A desecrator
I hear an echo from the past
I cannot exclude these cynical ideas
I'm heading into the unknown
All my fears are now at peace
All alone
I'm taking a leap of fate
Never to look back, or loose control
I'm beyond despair
In silence with my scars
I'm falling
Loosing control
I'm falling
A desecrator
I'm leaving
This planet earth
Our time was short
But unbreakable bonds in a flood of blood
This link to the past
Is forever a totem in my life
This place that we visit
Our secret that we groom and cherish
This pain I don't want to forget
Always a peace within me
Through sleepless nights
Cold-hearted facts of life
The meaning of it all so unfair
This ride I did not foresee
Flood river blood
No time to waste
There was nobody there that could save you
Nobody there to help me
Flood river blood
With power to breathe life
If there was a God he would have saved you
But now I have lost my belief
This token of love
All I have within my heart will be remembered
Your skin so cold
So cold, a touch so hard to explain
I have now found peace
A conclusion to where we inherit from
We can't rule over life
Down into the earth we will follow
Through sleepless nights
Cold-hearted facts of life
The meaning of it all so unfair
This ride I did not foresee
Flood river blood
No time to waste
There was nobody there that could save you
Nobody there to help me
Flood river blood
With power to breathe life
If there was a God he would have saved you
But now I have lost my belief
There is nothing here that can take me lower
Lower than this place I've already seen
Take pride in what's in your heart
Take advantage of this trial
Through sleepless nights
Cold-hearted facts of life
The meaning of it all so unfair
This ride I did not foresee
Flood river blood
No time to waste
There was nobody there that could save you
Nobody there to help me
Flood river blood
With power to breathe life
If there was a God he would have saved you
From the islands to the cities
From the ports into the sea
We are strong, we will always be
Blazing through the wreckage
Burning all we see
The life we lead committed to be free
Our union is a fortress
Together we are bound
A common bound in freedom and in sound
So raise your voices high
For miles around to hear
Let them know we are drawing near
In union we stand as they blaze across the land
In union we make a final stand
In union we stand as they blaze across the land
In union we make a final stand
A peaceful co-existence is dropping out of sight
So band together
Together we will fight
Blasting the resistance, marching to the top
They started this
We say when it stops
Strike fear within their hearts
Strike down those in your way
Let them know that we live today
They throw us into flames
Did not hear our cries
But now from the ashes we arise
In union we stand as they blazed across the land
In union we make our final stand
In union we stand as they blazed across the land
In union we make our final stand
In union we stand as they blazed across the land
In union we make our final stand
In union we stand as they blazed across the land
In union we make our final stand
Our union is our fortress
Together we are bound
A common bound in freedom and in sound
So raise your voices high
For miles around to hear
Let them know we are drawing near
In union we stand as they blazed across the land
In union we make our final stand
In union we stand as they blazed across the land
In union we make our final stand
In union we stand as they blazed across the land
In union we make our final stand
In union we stand as they blazed across the land
In union we make our final stand
In union we stand as they blazed across the land
Silent cries echo in this peaceful place
Eyes closed, nothing more to say
In the finest crest of ebony
A familiar name carved in ivory
I will forever owe my first one
For grabbing me
Needing me, returning me
Facing tomorrow
We walked through halls of pain, holding close
Earth Mother and this father, earthbound together
We brought the memories home, holding close
Earth Mother and this father, earthbound forever
The earth now treasure my deprived
Once soft and pale, these memories stain
Underneath this stone a truth so cruel
All so divine the scavenger awaits its prey
This burden of grief pulling in me
So much colder and with no relief
Will your deeds make the scale sway the right way
The truth to it all revealed
This hopeless life I led
My own blood I let shed
My body so weak and sore
Waiting to be decomposed
Overwhelmed by this tragedy
Wrapped up in harmony
Close my eyes, no more will to be
As nature is delivering me
This burden of grief pulling in me
So much colder and with no relief
Will your deeds make the scale sway the right way
The truth to it all revealed
Here in this garden of memories
I have searched for some clues to life
Feedback from those resting so wise
I wish they could tell me, it's all a lie
I believed in a life so delight
I'm so crestfallen by the truth so cold
After the storm there will be light
But right now I don't want to arise
I believed in a life so delight
I'm so crestfallen, by the truth so cold
After the storm there will be light
But right now I don't want to arise
We walked through halls of pain, holding close
Earth Mother and this father, earthbound together
We brought the memories home, holding close
It feels like I'm locked up
In this dark room behind bars
Where my mind is the cell
And this heart piece of me went missing
A shock that left me in the dark
Can I allow myself to have these feelings
Bringing me into temptation
Pin down the reality
I need to toss this blame I have in my head
All my future years already planned
There was made no room for mistakes
Even if the devil wants to lead me
Into a deeper state of doubt
Am I the destroyer of my bloodline?
Am I the destruction to my own life?
Am I the butcher of my future?
Am I the downfall of my heritage?
Am I the destroyer of my bloodline?
Am I the destruction to my own life?
Am I the butcher of my future?
Am I the downfall of my heritage?
This flesh I can't replace
But our soul may reunite
In a parallel world as travellers
Still I sense, this presence visiting me
A piece of me lost in a twirl of misery
While a serpent
Still tries to tell me that I failed
Leaving me in a wasteland of desolation
How could I let this life slip through my hands?
All my future years already planned
There was made no room for mistakes
Even if the devil wants to lead me
Into a deeper state of doubt
Am I the destroyer of my bloodline?
Am I the destruction to my own life?
Am I the butcher of my future?
Am I the downfall of my heritage?
Am I the destroyer of my bloodline?
Am I the destruction to my own life?
Am I the butcher of my future?
I am the downfall of my heritage
I am drifting
Into a deeper state of doubt
I am
Do you know this pain?
From the first sting in your heart, forlorn
All the ideas in your head
All the ideas in my head
What can you do about it?
Try to hide behind the grace, all this noise
All these crazy images in your head
All these crazy images in my head
All the ideas in my head
In blur distance, no future ahead
My world crash into pieces
It seems like old memories
From one life to another
Lines spinning in my head
Feelings that I can't remember
What happened, where did they go
These feelings that I can't remember
Look ahead so you don't fall behind
Thoughts keeps us up, gives us hope
Look ahead so you don't fall behind
Thoughts keeps us up, gives us hope
It gives us hope
Look ahead so you don't fall behind
Thoughts keeps us up, gives us hope
Look ahead so you don't fall behind
Thoughts keeps us up, gives us hope
Here on my weekly down trip
On a voyage of discovery
On display, like a freak show
While these crazy people are watching me
While these crazy people are watching me
As a deeper state of coma
A prescription from an unknown hand
Drifting into the drug
Injected to secure my ideas
Injected to secure my memories
All these crazy images in my head
Bloodlines left behind
Bones buried, hidden by earth
Life takes mysterious ways
In a blink of an eye, all twisted around
Burn my skin, pull out my nails
It won't heal, invisible scars inside
Bad luck, get your act together
Leaving, destination unknown
Look ahead so you don't fall behind
Thoughts keeps us up, gives us hope
Look ahead so you don't fall behind
Thoughts keeps us up, gives us hope
It gives us hope
Look ahead so you don't fall behind
Thoughts keeps us up, gives us hope
Look ahead so you don't fall behind
Thoughts keeps us up, gives us hope
The earth has swallowed my pride
There is no need to believe
This God has left me anyway
A wayward soul at the edge of the world
With a one way ticket
To the bottom deep
With a one way ticket
To the bottom deep
The deep
Come follow
Into the deep
The earth has swallowed my pride
There is no need to believe
This God has left me anyway
A wayward soul at the edge of the world
With a one way ticket
To the bottom deep
With a one way ticket
To the bottom deep
A wayward soul
A wayward soul
This image of a vulture's head
Casting a shadow resembling death
Waiting, while he listens to your breath
Its beak ready to pick up your flesh
An image of a livid face
Exposed over a stormy sky
I try to reach, but it fades away
Drifting on while I still search
This trauma triggers my thoughts
You are the one that I owe
For the influence of my return
The vague shape of better things to come
At gunpoint I could shimmer
What if life that really matters
All these thoughts I put into form
Will there be light on the other side?
Time still tearing on me
A downward spiral that bleeds
Lost in this barren part of my mind
These tears still bleed within
In silence you speak to me
Please wait for me at the edge of the world
With a one way ticket
To the bottom deep
With a one way ticket
To the bottom deep
In silence you speak to me
You speak to me
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
A deathlike silence sweeping the land
Murderer, a feeling of blame feeding this sinister kiss
A room filled with the smell of death and decay
Anger wash over me as memories stir my mind
My body is numb
Agonized and blind
These strange calls
From those who walked before their time
Spinning through emotional fields
I turned the nails, that closed this crest of belief
Once I surely tasted paradise
But now I weep
Will I ever see this paradise unveil
I will be searching for all my years
Strangely waiting among the shadow of the stones
I now feel connected while in your garden
Is there a King of vengeance, who roams to punish me
Inside it feels like a battle between good and evil
An internal storm that hates me
And this storm always outlasts me
I wish I could believe in angels and demons
I wish I could believe
I wish I could believe in angels and demons
I wish we could meet again
Welcome to my world of denial
Welcome to the realm of the lost
Come, feel the stillness of my garden
Where my blood has soaked the ground
Once I surely tasted paradise
But now I weep
Will I ever see this paradise unveil
I will be searching for all my years
I wish I could believe in angels and demons
I wish I could believe
I wish I could believe in angels and demons
I wish we could meet again
