1. Despair
(Verse)
You come and you go
I pass you by but you all seem so low
Empty stares, empty minds
I want to run but I'm trapped with these kinds
(Chorus)
I'm my own creation
My own devastation
Life is what you make it
You say
I got it all wasted away
From the moment you were born
You've got your wasted self to mourn
You make your own way to the grave
That is the ultimate aim
(Verse)
Life swiftly peeling away
Getting to explode one day
Years of hurt welling up inside
Always growing the rising tide
Guaranteed a life with happiness
But all I can see is darkness
Everyway I turn, I turn into a wall
I'm an ailing flower in the garden meant to fall
(Chorus)
I'm my own creation
My own devastation
Life is what you make it
You say
I got it all wasted away
From the moment you were born
You've got your wasted self to mourn
You make your own way to the grave
That is the ultimate aim
(Chorus)
These images flash before my eyes, I see
When days were long, joyful and free
I didn't care if the future was gray
I just lived for the fucking day
Now a reign of darkness, hurt and despair
Doomed together, no one gives a care
I can see the future, burning in fire
We will all soon expire
(Outro)
What is this feeling?
What shadows fall over me?
What is this scream I keep so silent?
Alone, my cries echo aloud
Yet I can't hear a single sound
Welcome to the land of despair
Welcome to the agonies lair
We all burn in fire
We're all welcomed to hell
2. Heavy Dose
(Verse)
The dark turned into grey
During the golden age of sin
Into distance it let me fade
But I'll never let it win
There is only one guarantee
It's the cycle of suffering
I look ahead for the end
That I don't wanna see
(Chorus)
I got a heavy dose of it
Like a shot piercing my skin
I got it twofold what you all did
But I fought while you all hid
You're still that little kid
You never got caught in the grid
Where they injected the heavy dose
The heavy quantity of…
Pain
(Verse)
It all feels like hell
Did the pain get there to stay?
'Cause I die when this feeling comes
Alive
The anger is around my neck
It's there like a noose that wanna wreck
All that I value and cherish
All that I hate and my malice
(Chorus)
I got a heavy dose of it
Like a shot piercing my skin
I got it twofold what you all did
But I fought while you all hid
You're still that little kid
You never got caught in the grid
Where they injected the heavy dose
The heavy quantity of…
Pain
(Verse)
A heavy dose of nothing
Is not enough
A heavy dose of everything
Is just as tough
A heavy dose of something
Is unhealthy and insecure
A heavy dose of anything
Is hell
(Chorus)
I got a heavy dose of it
Like a shot piercing my skin
I got it twofold what you all did
But I fought while you all hid
You're still that little kid
You never got caught in the grid
Where they injected the heavy dose
The heavy quantity of…
Pain
3. Among The Fallen
(Verse)
No one sees the raven inside my soul
It wants to get out and rips me 'til torn
Everything I do always turns out wrong
The fallen - I was placed among
My frayed soul is soon but gone
Nothing will be left because I'm the one
I'm the one standing in the flames
While you are laughing at my pain
(Chorus)
Misery!
I'm here among the fallen
Melancholy!
Screaming, despair, pain, help calls and
Tragedy!
Please stop the tragic memories
Treachery!
I have no one but myself
(Verse)
Want to scream but my voice is gone
Eternal night's over the dying sun
In my dreams, light still appears
But when I wake up I'm covered with tears
The time that has passed is nothing but a blur
That what I saw of life, no one wants to learn
The shadow of doom stands above my path
I can never go back to the past
(Chorus)
Misery!
I'm here among the fallen
Melancholy!
Screaming, despair, pain, help calls and
Tragedy!
Please stop the tragic memories
Agony!
I am doomed to a life in eternal flames
Please save me
(Chorus)
Misery!
I'm here among the fallen
Melancholy!
Screaming, despair, pain, help calls and
Tragedy!
Please stop the tragic memories
Treachery!
I am in eternal hell but something wild did survive
4. The Bell Tolls For Thee
(Verse)
In the shadow at the end we do not see
The sadness in their eyes before they betray thee
I walk in the dark, along the heavy wall
I see them always stronger, better arms, never to fall
Here I am alone
Shall I walk on to the dead-end?
To die or to pretend
Then it's thyself who forgives thee
Out of you will have passed all capacity
To be hunted, nothing more
Pain in the pounding sore
(Pre chorus)
In the steep emptiness of the gorge
In the way quieter than a whisper forge
Annihilation's not that difficult
Just open the wound and fill it with salt
(Chorus)
Sun gone down, the last light failing
Afterglow from the last sunlight faded
They survive to enslave thee again
We do not have a God but a hell
A dark passage leading to nowhere and on
Dark never-ending, suddenly all gone
Now there's nothing more to see
The bell tolls for thee
(Verse)
The fear was made of what I had been through
The apprehension was for the evil I would do
In the sack is the essence of all
Dead earth and the dead stalks of fall
They're from the flowers and their rotten blooms
The smell that is death in the sinful gloom
Thou wilt wrap this sack around thy head
Inhalest deeply, and smell the odor of death
(Pre chorus)
Faint, muted, dry and far away
We are all in the same cauldron left to stay
There's a scream that will never die
It will go forever It will always cry
(Chorus)
Sun gone down, the last light failing
Afterglow from the last sunlight faded
They survive to enslave thee again
We do not have a God but a hell
A dark passage leading to nowhere and on
Dark never-ending, suddenly all gone
Now there's nothing more to see
The bell tolls for thee
(Pre chorus)
In the steep emptiness of the gorge
In the way quieter than a whisper forge
Annihilation's not that difficult
Just open the wound and fill it with salt
(Verse)
Hated injustice, hated cruelty
Lay in my rage that blind my mind
That was given to me because
I never asked for it
I was not the aim but I got hit
Time is shortening, there's one direction to go
No, no, please no, no!
Just save me from this eternal hell
Free me from the tolling bell
(Pre chorus)
Faint, muted, dry and far away
We are all in the same cauldron left to stay
There's a scream that will never die
It will go forever
It will always cry
(Chorus)
Sun gone down, the last light failing
Afterglow from the last sunlight faded
They survive to enslave thee again
We do not have a God but a hell
A dark passage leading to nowhere and on
Dark never-ending, suddenly all gone
Now there's nothing more to see
The bell tolls for thee
