Breathe! Drown! Die!
04:06
|

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

Monster-faced Angel
03:47
|
|||
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

Call Your Last Shot
03:46
|
|||
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

Knock You Down
04:01
|
|||
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

Puppet Master

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

Changing my Name
05:08
|

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

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
|

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?
