1. The Fading
My life is fading,
All that's left are memories.
Vestige from the past.
A fire-storm of fear.
I'm shadow of a man.
One foot in the grave.
I remember times of chaos.
A fire-storm of fear.
Nothing can escape
From mortality.
Man begins to feed on Man.
Wanted by demons of the past.
I remember times of chaos.
A fire-storm of fear.
Nothing can escape
From mortality.
The leaders talk and talk.
But nothing can escape the avalanche.
Fire-storm of fear.
2. Above The Ground
Times flies,
It stays up high above the ground.
I try to come to terms
With my future tense.
I despise conformity,
The lies, the clenched fists.
I wish that I could feel,
Touch of sanity.
I wish that I could,
Touch of sanity.
Lies of concrete.
As hard as stone, as cold as steel.
Dry bones, broken.
Help me, please, I need to feel.
Times flies,
It stays up high above the ground.
I try to come to terms
With my future tense.
They want me to die.
The memory of pain I've known,
Piercing, poignant pain.
I vow to never feel again.
I despise conformity,
The lies, the clenched fists.
I wish that I could feel,
Touch of sanity.
3. Eyes To Match A Soul
Cry out for one soul,
The only one that could ever hear,
Only one whose ears are brave
Enough to listen to the beat of a heart.
Try to find a pair of eyes,
Eyes to match a soul.
The sweat meets my tears,
The salt blinds me.
You are there, I know it,
I can sense the throbbing pain.
I catch a glimpse of sparkling eyes,
Then I see the eyes no more.
Try to find a pair of eyes,
Eyes to match a soul.
4. Kaddish
It seems only yesterday,
I lost them all.
Years have past me by
And time can't heal this loss.
Bear your prayers for thier souls.
Bear your prayers for thier souls.
It seems only yesterday,
Hope was somewhere else.
Far away,
And the nightmare was life itself.
Bear your prayers for thier souls.
I know that memories can't be shared,
But I suffer a pain that isn't mine.
Somewhere, in the back of my thiughts,
There will alaways be a Holocaust.
5. Fear Of The Future
She is the fear of th future.
Rising out from the womb,
A black, looming figure.
The white, bloody sheets.
Her eyes, gripped with terror.
Our fate is so uncertain,
But still we bear the offspring.
How shall I face the future
In a world of hate and disease?
The blood inside is pure,
Sheltered by the womb,
Birth is stained with blood
That is no longer pure.
She is the fear of th future.
Rising out from the womb,
A black, looming figure.
6. Dying Embers
Lost in thoughts of the past,
The anguish of the years
Darkness is my only friend,
Darkness hides my tears.
I've lost the only light,
The embers fade and die.
The memories of days long gone
Refuse to ignite.
Lost in thoughts of the past,
The anguish of the years.
Darkness is my only friend,
Darkness hides my tears.
I've lost the only light,
The embers fade and die.
But why?
Can this be all that's left?
This love has gone amiss.
And why am i left to die,
To perish here for all to see?
Why? Can this be all that's left?
This love has gone amiss.
7. Desert Prayer
8. The Edge Of The Void
Screaming on the edge of the void.
Silent, only I hear the scream.
Grasping my hands, white from the fear.
Burning the sky, more red than blood.
Escape is impossible now,
Hopeless, the world itself is screaming.
Burning skies roar like flames,
Whirling oceans heave in storm.
Grasping my hands, white from the fear.
Burning the sky, more red than blood.
Escape is impossible now,
Hopeless, the world itself is screaming.
The edge of the void.
Darkness is setting over my mind,
I awake, but the nightmare remains.
The edge of the void.
9. Ha´ayara Bo´eret
Srefa, ahim, srefa
Ayaratenu boera kula
Ba ruhot schorot yisa'aru
Lehavoth hurban yivaru
Ikvoteha lo nisha'aru
Hi ola ba esh!
Va'atem hovkim yadaim
Bli hoshit ezra, bli habot et esh ha'lahav
Esh ha'ayara
Srefa, ahim, srefa
Krova has ve halila hashaa
Ki ha'lehavoth yatmidu
Et kulanu po yashmidu
Rak sridey kirot ya'idu
Ma shepo haya
Va'atem hovkim yadaim
Bli hoshit ezra, bli habot et esh ha'lahav
Esh ha'ayara
10. The One That No One Knows
Can't understand what is wrong with me,
How on Earth can you st me free?
Where are the times I was in control?
Open the gate to my fucking world.
The one that no one knows.
Only lies survive,
Reason is no excuse.
He's inside of me,
The one that no one knows.
I've lost my mind.
You'll never find
Peace in these eyes.
I can't disguise
Flames that burn within.
Devouring
My sanity.
This is not me.
Can't understand what is wrong with me,
How on Earth can you st me free?
Where are the times I was in control?
Open the gate to my fucking world.
The one that no one knows.
Only lies survive,
Reason is no excuse.
He's inside of me,
The one that no one knows.
Struggle against my impulses.
Against my will, imprisonment.
I am confined within myself.
What in the world have I done?
