Run away far from this wasteland Inhaling the sand before setting sail They say there is shelter A better place where there’s chance to thrive “Fight! Cry! Scream! Die! Breathe! Drown! Die!” And I'm still alive to see another day I beg you Help me, help me, protect me Heal me, heal me I’m not gonna take away your rights Instead you judge me, beat me You reject me, crush me You don't care if I live or die From waves straight to the sidewalk Filed as a beggar or a trivial whore Lost in a world of strangers I fled a battle just to find a war “Fight! Cry! Scream! Die! Breathe! Drown! Die!” And I'm still alive, so at least they say Is this paradise or another lie? I beg you Help me, help me, protect me Heal me, heal me I’m not gonna take away your rights Instead you judge me, beat me You reject me, crush me You don't care if I live or die And I'm still alive, so at least they say I beg you Help me, help me, protect me Heal me, heal me I’m not gonna take away your rights Instead you judge me, beat me You reject me, crush me You don't care if I live or die Help me, help me, protect me Heal me, heal me I’m not gonna take away your rights Instead you judge me, beat me You reject me, crush me You don't care if I live or die

We played by your rules I stayed one step behind Waiting to undergo your castigation Still I don’t know why The sentence to be served is mine When you’re the one holding a bleeding knife You chased what you didn’t even want Fully armed to take down a lamb Who’s this monster-faced angel? I’m falling apart You’re dancing on my corpse I should just move on But your words keep pounding in my head With your tormenting “What did you do for me?” Can’t believe that I Have lost control over my mind You’re haunting a life I’m no longer feeling mine You chased what you didn’t even want Fully armed to take down a lamb Who’s this monster-faced angel? I’m falling apart You’re dancing on my corpse Sheathe your claws We both need to heal our wounds This is a war I don’t wanna fight anymore You chased what you didn’t even want Fully armed to take down a lamb Who’s this monster-faced angel? I’m falling apart You’re dancing on my corpse This is a war I don’t wanna fight anymore

The Way Out 04:28
There is only one way out It’s where you don't want to go Or do you? Cling to all that’s left And after all you’re longing for a place That’s yours already Like a womb, but underground There’s no resting on a cloud (Like a womb, but underground) Knowledge comes for those who can wait Mother, don't you cry It is not a place for grief And I’m finally feeling free (Like a womb, but underground) There is only one salvation And it’s calling from within Is there shelter from the cold Restraining you? It takes your breath away Knowledge comes for those who suffer Mother, don't you cry It is not a place for grief And I’m finally feeling free “She lifted her glorified eyes toward the sun and, for the first time, felt them filling with tears. Sorrowfully they gazed at the pearly foam, as if they knew she had thrown herself into the waves.” It consumes you It’s calling you Lift your eyes towards the sun Now you know the time has come Can’t you see? Mother, don't you cry It is not a place for grief It’s my time to spread my wings and fly ‘Cause I need to go, don’t hold me back You can recognize the end When there’s no more time to tell

Worth Living 04:48
Strangers we’ve been for too long I gave myself in the attempt to reach you Blind to the truth that I’ve always been ahead Far enough to escape your embrace Stunned by the gloom winding you Scolding yourself to get lost in your pain Still the pretension of your regret Makes you neglect what it’d be worth living for In bitterness you fray In solitude you hide In the dark you’re alone and left behind There’s no rest and no light at the end of the night You chose this path for yourself Can't go back Why do you fight to find out where you went wrong? It’s too late to realize what to live for In bitterness you fray In solitude you hide In the dark you’re alone and left behind There’s no rest and no light at the end of the night Tears dig inside you and drain your strength away And you get lost again In bitterness you fray In solitude you hide In the dark you’re alone and left behind There’s no rest and no light at the end of the night Learn what it takes to move on To free yourself Let go of your past Of the veil that blind your eyes And rise You’re alone and left behind There’s no rest and no light at the end of the night

Don’t be afraid to stay alone tonight If you want I can walk with you You’re so hot, though you should smile a bit more Can’t you see that I’m addicted to you Lighten up, what’s under that dress? Where’s the key to your secret garden? Call your last shot, dear ‘Till you can't take it anymore I don't get why they call it violence Why they always burst into tears You look comfortable in those tight clothes So how come you don't like my attentions? Call your last shot, dear ‘Till you can't take it anymore Take off that smug face You think you’re all that, but you’re not I'm not gonna let you ignore me no more I think I’ve strong romantic feelings for you Darling, I can't stand watching you go You know what? You ugly anyway Call your last shot, dear ‘Till you can't take it anymore Take off that smug face You think you’re all that, but you’re not

The long-time chained wolf freed itself And soon it will devour the whole sky Kings and queens surrender at the hand Of the demiurge who gives and takes away Great final blast Everything will collide in this spiraling Ragnarök Until the end When the gods have knocked you down Rising high the serpent coils creation And spreads poison in our minds Humankind surrenders to a disruption Crumbling worlds will come to life Great final blast Everything will collide in this spiraling Ragnarök Until the end When the gods have knocked you down Great final blast Everything will collide in this spiraling Ragnarök Until the end When you’ll curse the heavens Great final blast Everything will collide in this spiraling Ragnarök Until the end When the gods have knocked you down
8.
You can’t rob me of my strength Destroy my self-confidence I won’t take your burden on me Won’t let myself open Trails of sorrow you left behind A path of tears that will never dry But I can see behind your false regret I'm tired of empty promises Can’t take back what it used to be Let go and I’ll set you free What’s the point of acting insane? You’ve already lost the game All this hate, you’ll have it back How’s it like while it’s digging in? Don't bother pretending with me Can’t take back what it used to be Let go and I’ll set you free What’s the goal of acting insane? You’ve already lost the game It’s just a fact You’re a crybaby left without toys You can get them if you’re nice to me Come over here Would you mind taking off your mask? Can’t take back what it used to be Let go and I’ll set you free What’s the goal of acting insane? You’ve already lost the game You’ve already lost the game

Time cannot obliterate Memories remain, they’re showing me the way Still every night I mourn until I wake Oh, your loss wounded my whole life more than I can tell Smile to take the blues away It’s hard to survive, when your heart is shattered into a million parts But I feel your voice inside You touched my soul and somehow I’ll find the strength to look ahead Changing my name Changing my past Leaving behind the pain that made me go astray Alter our fate At times you come back to my mind When I see you in the eyes of the child who came and just restored my smile As his spark evokes your light You changed our lives with your loving guide And still you’re watching over us If I could Changing my name Changing my past Leaving behind the pain that made me go astray Alter our fate Don’t fade away Changing my name Changing my past Leaving behind the pain that made me go astray Alter our fate Changing my name Changing my past Leaving behind the pain that made me go astray I’ll fade away Time cannot obliterate

Breathe No rush You can feel his voice in your head Breathe Don’t fight He’s awaiting for your weakness Till you’ll find You can catch him in your mirror What will you become If he’s taking over Try to stay alive But it’s just begun Hides before your eyes Lies, that's all you have left Cure and bane Neither can survive without The other side of pain Hidden deep inside that mirror What will you become If he’s taking over Try to stay alive But it’s just begun Hides before your eyes Lies, that's all you have left His awakening, your demise There’s no way for you to break free And it’s just begun Hides before your eyes Lies, that's all you have left His awakening, your demise There’s no way for you to break free
11.
Time slips through my hands I wander on a long lost path I’m alone Darkness fills the space around and within me Fragments of life come to my mind Then again I don't know who I am Don’t wanna fade away, oh no I'm swept away from unknown thoughts Drawing the pain I'm causing in the ones I've loved Pale shadows keep passing by A labyrinth where every day I lose some piece of what I used to be Fragments of life come to my mind Then again I don't know who I am Don’t wanna fade away, oh no I'm swept away from unknown thoughts Drawing the pain I'm causing in the ones I've loved A distant voice speaks to my core Don't let me sink into oblivion But when I’ll lose my grip I’ll start the endless fall
12.
Silence Broken inside I’m bleeding Darkness I’m here but no one sees me I just want to run away I just need to find my way Flowing The river turns to waterfalls Blowing Enough to smash this paper walls Rising The more you climb, stronger the storm ‘Till I fall Is there still time Once you let go of yourself? Should I keep trying Or is it time to close my eyes? Lying Frozen inside you’re ceding Soothing I’ll guide you holding your hand You just want to run away But you need to find your way home Flowing The river leads to calmer shores Blowing I will build up your strongest walls Rising I’ll keep you sheltered from the storm ‘Till I fall Is there still time Once you let go of yourself? Should I keep trying Or is it time to close my eyes? Is there still time Once you let go of yourself? Should I keep trying? Is this my time to fight? Should I keep trying Or is it time to close my eyes?
