Quaestio nostra est aeterna
Ultima requies fons vitae
Sed nos eam novam existimemus
2. The Obsessive Devotion
Don’t you ever blind me
Don’t be a foolish thief
-Am I?
Don’t you ever bring yourself to grief
Don’t you ever blind me
Don’t ever trick my mind
-Did I?
Don’t you think that you can lie to me
-Did I lie?
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured.
I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else
Don’t you choke and bind me
Don’t be a bleeding heart
-Am I?
Fold then walk away or play your cards
-Let us play!
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured.
I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else
I can't even recognize the path which has to be
Taken to enter infinity.
-Don't you dare me
I dare you
-You don't care about me
I care about you
-Don’t you touch me
-Liar
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
Adoratio permanebit
Quotiens me eges, adero
I prefer to be unhappy with you,
rather than being depressed without you.
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
Nothing lasts forever but you, you do…
I prefer to be a lair just like you
To fulfill my deepest desires
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
But all that I desire is you
One thoughtless moment passes in slow motion
As I lie down, I realise that…
All I wish is to get rid of this Obsessive Devotion
Venia ad vitam aeternam
Non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis
Hit me as you can
Beat me as you wish
Liar
Fortuna mutual coniuncti
Per tota saecula futura
I have raised myself for you
But now I regret
Venia ad vitam aeternam
This is the end
3. Menace of Vanity
Comprehensive expressions of your social weakness
Vented on your countless made up enemies
I cannot know how you feel
When you don’t say anything
We don't care what you say
We'll never join the games you play
We won't bleed for all your sins
We never followed your way now so
We don't care anymore
How you’ll perform your last encore
Your misplaced sense of superiority
The result of your unbearable form of Vanity
I cannot know what you see
When you don't show anything;
We don't care what you say
We'll never join the games you play
We won't bleed for all your sins
We never followed your way now so
We don't care anymore
How you’ll perform your last encore
I cannot know how you feel
When you don’t say anything
I cannot know what you see
When you don't show anything
We don't care what you say
We'll never join the games you play
We won't bleed for all your sins
We never followed your way now so
We don't care anymore
How you’ll perform your last encore
4. Chasing the Dragon
Free my mind
Heal my scars
Erase the past
Dark days to forget
And memories to last
In my heart
Free me now
Make me forget
And forgive
There's no use
To go on and live
Show me a way
To the sun
Heal my scars
Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don’t deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here
Let my eyes take in
The beauty that's here
That’s left on this earth
My ears long to hear
A melody
Give me sight
Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don’t deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here
Poison is slowly seeping through my veins
Stealing the only dignity in me
I pick them up and let them fall
To cause your pain and hit them all
[grunts]
One more life to live is what I want
I’ll take the joy away from them
See to it, they will all be damned
One more chance to heal what I have harmed
The dragon is wreak havoc in my brain
Plays my emotion, a never ending game
Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don’t deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here
One more life to live for me
I want the night just to colour the day
The morning to chase all my nightmares away
Don’t you deny that we're all human beings
We all have our flaws that can make ourself obscene
Obscene…
Give me what I want
Give me what I need right now
That’s what I want
That’s what I need, get it!
Dolendo novit mortalis vitam
Tell me what I want
Tell me what I need right now
That’s what I want
That’s all I need, cure me
Dolendo discit mori mortalis
Losers
Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don’t deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here
5. Never Enough
Can't you hear me screaming, once again?
Voices you can't hear
Because you are consumed and incontent
With everlasting greed
Don't you see me on my hands and knees?
Begging and bleeding
You're smiling as you bite the hand that feeds
But will you never see?
Always wanting what your eyes can't see
needing what your arms can’t reach
Thinking you are in need
Always hearing what your ears can't hear
feeling what your hands can't touch
Thinking you’re incomplete
(Enough)
It was,
Never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you've put me through
(Never enough)
How can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line
Sacrificed my life to be with you
Why did you leave me?
There's nothing more from me you can consume
Cause you are incomplete
Always wanting what your eyes can't see
needing what your arms can’t reach
Thinking you are in need
Always hearing what your ears can't hear
feeling what your hands can't touch
Thinking you’re incomplete
(Enough)
It was,
Never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you've put me through
(Never enough)
How can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line
Everlasting need
Would you please?
Answer me and
Make me complete
Everlasting greed
Would you please?
Set me free
Fulfill all my needs and make complete
(Enough)
It was,
Never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you've put me through
(Never enough)
How can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line
Never again will I be with you
No promise eternal carrying us through
I finally made up my mind this time
This is the end, I've drawn the line
Never enough to devour your greed
6. La‘petach Chatat Rovetz (The Final Embrace)
7. Death Of A Dream (The Embrace That Smothers Part VII)
I followed your rules
A willing fool
Branded by shame
My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I bear so many scars, hit me hard
Time to change we have to rearrange
For this has gone too far, way too far
Creating new laws and living by unwritten rules
Restricting us
My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I can’t let go
Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views
Denying us
You created this world
Where honesty is not allowed
You created this world
Where ignorance is being taught
You created this world
Where I am all, you'll never be
You’ve been drilling these
Such falsely-based philosophies
…in me
The curtain has fallen
There's no one behind
Corrected one mistake
But I am still around
Our fight is over
My scars will leave a stain
You thought that it was all easy
But I will still remain
You created yourself
Based on nothing else but lies
You created yourself
Where all your aspiration died
You created yourself
Where I am all, you'll never be
You’re deceiving me
Now I am forcing you to see
… this
The curtain has fallen
There's no one behind
Corrected one mistake
But I am still around
Our fight is over
My scars will leave a stain
You thought that it was all easy
But I will still remain
Take my hand, I'm sinking, I'm reaching out for you
Can't you see what you've done to all of us?
Torturing me has no use here anymore
I followed your rules
A willing fool
Branded by shame
My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I bear so many scars, hit me hard
Time to change we have to rearrange
For this has gone too far, way too far
Creating new laws and living by unwritten rules
Restricting us
My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I can’t let go
Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views
Denying us
The curtain has fallen
There's no one behind
Corrected one mistake
But I am still around
Our fight is over
My scars will leave a stain
You thought that it was all easy
But I will still remain
Your time is over
I'm taking what’s mine
You thought that you could keep me
Under your thumb and mind
Take my hand, I'm sinking, I'm reaching out for you
In my dying dream
8. Living A Lie (The Embrace That Smothers - Part VIII)
Don't believe what you see
Believe in me
In my reality
I am a man of God
God, can't you hear that I’m begging you?
Don't believe what you hear
Believe in me
And I will reappear
Salvation here at last
At last someone to answers all my prayers
Hope is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life
Find salvations in distress
We will wait
For the day you’ll break out and
Re-awake
Lies
Don't believe what you see
Believe in me
And my reality
Eternity indeed
Indeed i’ts the end all and be all there’s
Hope is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life
Find salvations in distress
We will wait
For the day you’ll break out and
Re-awake
Lies
Domine lesu, demitte nobis debita nostra,
salva nos ab igne inferiori,
perduc in caelum omnes animas
praesertim eas, quae misericordiae tuae
maxime indigent.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
Amen
Living a lie
Human power
Will devour
Our senses
Bring us to forget
Human sources will not save
The power of faith
Heals us all
Hope is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life
Find salvations in distress
We will wait
For the day you’ll break out and
Re-awake
And we wait for the day
To discover there’s no way
I can't wait at this rate
It’s too little and too late
To live this lie
Living a lie
9. Fools of Damnation (The Embrace That Smothers - Part IX)
Go for it
Bow to the supremacy
Go for it at last
You do believe, so I can say
That you are owned by me
Go for it
Bow to the supremacy
Go for it at last
You do believe, so let us pray
For all those fools that be
Fool
Dance with me again
I am your destiny
Mark my words, don't you ever disagree
Fool
Kneel for me again
I am your agony
Walk my way, I will never set you free
Kneel for me unknowing fool
Bow to the supremacy
Kneel for me unworthy pig
Die for the divinity
Go for it
Bow to the supremacy
Go for it at last
You do believe, so you display
All that we want to see
Fool
Dance with me again
I am your destiny
Mark my words, don't you ever disagree
Fool
Kneel for me again
I am your agony
Walk my way, I will never set you free
Go for it
Just do it
Walk my way just to serve me
Go for it
Just do it
Kneel for me and obey me
A humble genuflection for the onrushing ascendancy
Not able to turn back anymore
Bow to me
Bow to the supremacy
Kneel for me
Die for the divinity
Bow to me
Go for it
Just do it
Die for the divinity
Believing is the cure
Religion is like opium
You’d better feed them all
Before they start eating you
Et fictum fit factum
Ne timeas obscurum
Id autem cognoscas
Ne timeas obscurum
Primum id cognosce
Deinde iudica
Post iudicandum demum age
[x2]

Mark my words, don't you ever disagree
Fool
Kneel for me again
I am your agony
Walk my way, I will never set you free
[x4]
Go for it
Just do it
10. Beyond Belief
Wisdom, knowledge, science
Develops, always, better, faster
This is the final end
A voice in the wilderness
Fights a futile war
Because the strong are deaf
More so then before
Massive disregard
Shows what to expect
Scars on top of scars
Racing toward a future we don't have
Fear is taking over me, there is nothing I can see
The Future is as certain
As life will come to an end
When time feels like a burden
We struggle with our certain death
Wisdom, knowledge, science
Develops, always, better, faster
We have to guide ourselves
For we cannot stand
One more false pretence getting out of hand
Now fear is the driving force
Taking over us Aad finding out this source
May turn out to be too much to bear
Fear is taking over me, there is nothing I can see
How could this have come to be
The Future is as certain
As life will come to an end
When time feels like a burden
We struggle with our certain death
Wisdom, knowledge, science
Develops, always, better, faster
Defeats us
Science, knowledge, wisdom
Destroys us, always, ever, faster
This is the final end
Thirteen moons
The path to walk
Thirteen moons
The path to talk
Restore all that belongs to us
Thirteen moons
The way to speak
Thirteen moons
Is what we seek
Restore all that was left behind
The Future is as certain
As life will come to an end
When time feels like a burden
We struggle with our certain death
[solo]
The Future is as certain
As life will come to an end
When time feels like a burden
We struggle with our certain death
Wisdom, knowledge, science
Develops, always, better, faster
Defeats us
Science, knowledge, wisdom
Destroys us, always, ever, faster
This is the final end
11. Safeguard to Paradise
Memories that fade away
Have not left their mark
But you live on, every single day
In many different ways
It’s the truth between his cunning lips
That hands him his suspicious alibis
Persuading with your force will never be the way
To our destiny
Suddenly we’ve lost the force
To close our cursed doors
No one seems to realise
That wolves are in disguise
It’s the truth between his cunning lips
That hands him his suspicious alibis
Persuading with your force will never be the way
To our destiny
Your engine was so strong
But the road was just too long
Hope is not the end
So never lose the faith
As long as we can say
They can never take away
Our freedom, the most precious thing we’ve ever had
The reward from the blood, we’ve ever shed
His quest for higher truth, life of eternal youth has just begun,
in spite of being on the run
Many virgins wait for him to come
Persuading with your force will never be the way
To our destiny
Our destiny
12. Sancta Terra
A place which I have searched a thousand times
To finally free myself
Forever wasn't ever long enough
I will refrain
I feel a passion washing over me
To shed the skin I’m in
This evolution will empower me
Now truth begins
And you will not find me
I am safe in here
I'm where I want to be
It's a place where a wish will be granted
Come, you'll see I'm right
It's a force that will live on within you
Dark as day is light
It's a place where your dreams will be slanted
And will always be
It's a force that was sent out to win you
Just you wait and see
Take one step closer to the borderline
Where night and day unite
This mortal coil I’ve gone and left behind
On holy soil
And you will not find me
I am safe in here
I'm where I want to be
It's a place where a wish will be granted
Come, you'll see I'm right
It's a force that will live on within you
Dark as day is light
It's a place where your dreams will be slanted
And will always be
It's a force that was sent out to win you
Just you wait and see
You will not find me
I am safe in here
I am where I want to be
So leave me now in peace
And you will not find me
I am safe in here
I'm where I want to be
It's a place where a wish will be granted
Come, you'll see I'm right
It's a force that will live on within you
Dark as day is light
It's a place where your dreams will be slanted
And will always be
It's a force that was sent out to win you
Just you wait and see
13. The Divine Conspiracy
Quaestio nostra est aeterna
Ultima requies fons vitae
Sed eam ut novam ducemus
We will never know all possibilities to predict what is to come
And so we have illusions to think freely
Once we had been
Rich from within
Did not try to reach
What we couldn’t achieve
Because once we had been
Able to win
From the need to succeed
We need to be innocent to live the life we've lived for so long
We need to be blind enough to live the life we live right now
Who possesses your time also possesses your mind
Once we had been
Rich from within
Did not try to reach
What we couldn’t achieve
Because once we had been
Able to win
From the need to succeed
We need to be innocent to live the life we've lived for so long
We need to be deaf enough to live the life we live right now
Reach out, touch infinity
Life is just a memory
Time is not the entity
Like it used to be
The Divine Conspiracy
Opens up the reality
Time is not the entity
Like it claims to be
Once we had been
Rich from within
Did not try to reach
What we couldn’t achieve
Because once we had been
Able to win
From the need to succeed
We need to be innocent to live the life we've lived for so long
We need to be insensitive to live the life and so ignore it all
Who possesses your time also possesses your mind
Who possesses your time
-Mislead us all, we are not in control
Also possesses your mind
-There is no trace that will lead to this place
Reach out, touch infinity
Life is just a memory
Time is not the entity
Like it used to be
The Divine Conspiracy
Opens up the reality
Time is not the entity
Like it claims to be
Desperately we all
Clutch at the last straw
We stumble and fall
Countdown to die
To heal it all
We will never reach
Our capacities, no more
We cannot expand
Our boundaries
Once we had been
Rich from within
Did not try to reach
What we couldn’t achieve
Because once we had been
Able to win
From the need to succeed
We need to be innocent to live the life we've lived for so long
We need to be insensitive to breathe so we can take it all for granted
Reach out, touch infinity
Life is just a memory
Time is not the entity
Like it used to be
The Divine Conspiracy
Opens up the reality
Time is not the entity
Like it claims to be
