1. Behind Tomorrow
The retribution for our greed, curiosity led to our downfall
Degraded with centuries of the evolutionary scale
Now we stand at the ruins of life
Behind tomorrow, relive the yesteryears
We are lost from the path of faith
Left on thin ice standing
Behind tomorrow, reborn from the ashes
History cannot be allowed to repeat our fall again
Staring at the reasons engagement, so determined
Leaving nothing for the hand of chance
Behind tomorrow, relive the yesteryears
We are lost from the path of faith
Left on thin ice standing
Behind tomorrow, reborn from the ashes
History cannot be allowed to repeat our fall again
We now stand at the ruins of life
Leaving nothing for chance
Degraded with centuries of the evolutionary scale
Staring at the reasons engagement, so determined
Behind tomorrow, relive the yesteryears
We are lost from the path of faith
Left on thin ice standing
Behind tomorrow, reborn from the ashes
History cannot be allowed to repeat our fall again
2. Death's Call
Chasing shadows from my past
When death comes calling they grow vast
I´m falling into nothing fast
Haunting dreams come closing in
I always end up where i´ve been
A vicious circle from within
Explanations so illusive
Now i´m blinded searching for them
The aggressor lies within
This i know as we battle constantly
Whatever crosses my path, whaterver gets in my way
Whatever pours itself out as I remove the scab
If it´s attention you want, this is what needs to be done
Don´t gently tap on my shoulder, smack my head with a rock
Feels like what lies ahead is a lifetime of agony
There is a light at the tunnels end
A light that turns out to be the undeniable fire
A fire that burns, outside and in
A fire that reminds me of my every sin
It stains and distorts, then lingers and burns
Chasing shadows...
Explanations...
Whatever crosses...
3. In Despair For My Sins
See into my dreams and turn the tides of time
Back into the days before tears
Life to live in despair for my sins
See me now in despair for my sins
I watched you fade away, within your eyes the blame froze for eternity
Life to live in despair for my sins
See me now in despair for my sins
Wrapped in sorrow anger breeds the hate
Black as night the sin weights upon me
The voiceless cry within me
Growing from a whisper to a scream
See into my dreams, and turn the tides of time
Back into the days before tears
Life to live in despair for my sins
See me now in despair for my sins
Life to live in despair...
See me now in despair...
All this life to life in despair for my sins
4. Godsend
My harmony banished by this suffocating fear
A flash of the blade changes the outcome of our lives
A watcher sits by the sleepless, ready to guide this soul to whatever end
Through endless nights we await, yet only time can save us from this loss
Through my tears you are the godsend
Take my fears away and let me wish for hope
Slow decay of my weakened will
End of this night one will be gone
A watcher sits by the sleepless, ready to guide this soul to whatever end
An angels sigh, a timeless cry
All I hear is the whisper of the godsend
A dreamless night, a fathers cry
In this truth echoes the whisper of the godsend
Mornings light reaches me back again
A watcher still sits by the sleepless
Ready to guide this soul to whatever end
Through my tears you are the godsend
Take my fears away and let me wish for hope
Slow decay of my weakened will
End of this night one will be gone
An angels sigh, a timeless cry
All I hear is the whisper of the godsend
A dreamless night, a fathers cry
In this truth echoes the whisper of the godsend
An angels sigh, a timeless cry
All I hear is the whisper of the godsend
A dreamless night, a fathers cry
In this truth echoes the whisper of the godsend...
A timeless cry, all I hear is the whisper of the godsend
A dreamless night, a fathers cry
In this truth echoes the whisper of the godsend, godsend...
5. Second Life
Deny the world your pain
And in loneliness endure
Hide it all away in shame
No-one does ever need to know
Feed the demanding secret of yours
By keeping all the sadness inside
Truthful are your tears covered in shame
But there´s no-one else, no-one else to blame
A second life, your hopes cry for a new beginning
A second life, in this tearing loneliness
Reason lost its faith in you
or was it the other way around
Now you want to find yourself lost
From this endless, lonely course
yet the pain is yours alone, yours all alone
Deny the world your pain
And in loneliness endure
Hide it all away in shame
No-one does ever need to know
A second life, your hopes cry for a new beginning
A second life, in this tearing loneliness
A second life...
A second life, in this tearing loneliness
6. Within My World
See the eyes fixed upon what never was
Only gaining the things that will be lost
Had my choices been altered in any way
And if only there was an if only
And if only I'd acted differently
Looking back, looking forward, it's all the same
To this world I'm oblivious
I'm haunted by the actions of those who feel
That they know everything so much better
Within my world I stand by this fate, yet nothing touches my soul, I stand alone
Within my world I stand by this fate, yet nothing touches my soul, I stand alone
See the eyes fixed upon what never was
Only gaining the things that will be lost
Had my choices been altered in any way
And if only there was an if only
And if only I'd acted differently
Looking back, looking forward, it's all the same
Within my world I stand by this fate, yet nothing touches my soul, I stand alone
Nothing can take the pain away, I stand on my two feet
Standing alone and here to stay, to stay...
Shadows of failure leaves a mark on my path
Should you fear my dreams and hope to change direction
Now let me follow the light at the end of the line
Within my world I stand by this fate, yet nothing touches my soul, I stand alone
Within my world I stand by this fate, yet nothing touches my soul, I stand alone
7. Act of Fate
A harsh end descanted by hollow tears
Cornered within this insumountable moment
It seems that I have deserved this lack of desire
Dereliction towards the inner cluster of depravity
Though i tried to prevent this slender
Persection to the bitter end
I stumble in the darkest of worlds
My struggle for help devours my everything
The act of fate comes closer to the end
Grasping for it´s spoils without hesitation
Without resistance, I shall too descend
For this final termination
The act of fate...
8. On Bitter Wings
Conquer the control before the hour is yet too late
A truthful desire burning still in heart
As I lived my life jeweled by my sins
My world torn to shreds by your growing needs
I climb the ladder of my downfall and truthfully envy the malice in your eyes
But my tears won't become you
Since my pain enjoices you too
Giving you the world I sacrificed my will
On bitter wings yet my pride is not unstained
On bitter wings, on bitter wings
In fantasy this pain is everlasting but time will scar these wounds of you
Truthful is the malice in your stone-cold eyes but still my tears enjoices you
Giving you the world I sacrificed my will
On bitter wings yet my pride is not unstained
On bitter wings, on bitter wings
These bitter wings
9. Fallen Virtue
Slowly return the world to it's former grace and let evolution repair the flaws of mankind
Our roads leads nowhere, but to our own downfall
Purest of fiction to believe in change
Fallen virtue, the purity of life so eagerly defiled
Fallen virtue, descent into the absence of hope
Fading in the hands of man, the heart of the world
Soon the waves will bounce back
It's only a matter of time for the weak to fail and nothing is left behind
Hear it's, it's the fall of virtue...
We see the truth without acting
Letting injustice occur without interference
Yet who are we to alter this course
When it's so much easier to continue in blindness
Fallen virtue, the purity of life so eagerly defiled
Fallen virtue, descent into the absence of hope
10. At Your Hands
I saw the panic entice you and the tears you tried to retract
Pain as it seems to be the language of your life
In your arms a new beginning to end along with your doubts
Now will the world see your fears at yours hands
The tears of a dream abandoned as suffering turned into innocence
Blood of your sins
Fear weights into evils favor, tempting with promises
It drowns you into hope, casting a shade on your soul
At yours hands, the tears of a dream abandoned as suffering turned into innocence
The choice lies now...
At yours hands, the tears of a dream abandoned as suffering turned into innocence
Blood of your sins
At yours hands, the tears of a dream abandoned as suffering turned into innocence
The choice lies now...
At yours hands, the tears of a dream abandoned as suffering turned into innocence
Blood of your sins
11. A Face in the Crowd
As i fall asleep my eyes still see just a face in the crowd one that walks you by
I am all alone still theres no space just a silent whisper that passes you by
Where the dreams comes to die
You will see me standing in the shadows
Waitin for the one we shared
To finally come to its end
But would you welcome me, into the light
As i fall asleep...
Nights cold caressing as you can feel upon my breath
But will you deny me if i reveal my world to you
In this perfect dance impossible
Touch my soul and feel what rises
A newborns cry ready for the world
Will you take it to your heart or leave it astray
But the purity of an angel would burn my wings
As i fall asleep...
12. Wither
We shared the same dream, but the boundaries of reality rippled it's surface
Like your reflection in the water destroyed by a tear falling
And the slightest impact scatters all hope of faith
A growing passion, hidden within a solemn promise
Never before had desire burnt me this hard
Though my heart crawed for it's lust
At least the dream was ours to share
Never before had desire burnt me this hard
A withering passion, hidden crawed for it's lust
At least the dream was ours to share
Whenever I see you again... I wither
For the truth that I saw in your eyes
Yet even without you now... I wither
Who are we to deny our destiny
Whenever I see you again...
For the truth that I saw in your eyes
Yet even without you now...
My world fades away
Whenever I see you again... I wither
For the truth that I saw in your eyes
Yet even without you now... I wither
Who are we to deny our destiny
