1. None
Habit's what it's become
seems like I'm alone
no one to love me
a proud man is gone
The one in control
is no longer known
living in a haze
hell I've been shown
I dare not die though
I dare not live
I want to escape
I want to feel good
I need to forget
I need to want
I need to
I need
To think is to be
therefore I am not
living's not the word
applying to me
No longer I can
see what I should do
do with my life
do with myself
I dare not die though
I dare not live
I want to escape
I want to feel good
I need to forget
I need to want
I need to
I need
Now I've lost all hope
to get me of the hook
No prospect for me
Into hell I look
If I cannot find redemption
at least there will be oblivion
I dare not die though
I dare not live
I want to escape
I want to feel good
I need to forget
I need to want
I need to
I need
2. This Day
Leaving, leaving behind more than a memory
Leaving behind our days and time
Wish, want you here to stay, know you will have to go away
to where you long for, a far and distant shore
Must not forget, must not regret
Remember what we had, remember what we shared
The days of belief, the days of faith
Days of truth, days of freedom
In my heart there is sore
Will we meet, once more?
In my heart there is sore
Will we meet, once more?
Leaving, leaving behind more than a place to stay
Leaving behind our future plans
Wish, want you here to stay, know you will have to go away
to where you long for, a far and distant shore
All we had, all we lost
Will not forget, will not regret
Be all as one once said and gone
Together forever, this one is ours
Saying good-bye, leaving behind, always
Saying good-bye, leaving behind, always
Hope to meet again, meet again, and talk about the days
Be friends for more, be friends for more, than this day
3. Vengeance
Do you know the path you are on, my friend?
Push me no more
Till a point where you will have gone too far
I draw the line
Vengeance will be mine
Wait and see, when pushing me
till breaking point, you fear me
Vengeance will be mine
Wait and see, when pushing me
till breaking point, you fear me
You might see things you do not want to see
I won't be me
No hope for you when I turn against you
Feel my vengeance
Vengeance will be mine
Wait and see, when pushing me
till breaking point, you fear me
Vengeance will be mine
Wait and see, when pushing me
till breaking point, you fear me
Vengeance will be mine
Wait and see, when pushing me
till breaking point, you fear me
Vengeance will be mine
Wait and see, when pushing me
till breaking point, you fear me
Vengeance is mine
4. Shallow
Try to steer me with your jalousy
My move is to reject influence
Try to lure me with your vanity
You want to try use my honesty
Try to steer me with your jalousy
You want, I won't, I want, you do not
I want, you won't, you want, I do not
Try to create freedom for myself
Dare to speak, dare to fall
Try to steer me with your jalousy
My move is to reject influence
Try to lure me with your vanity
You want to try use my honesty
Try to steer me with your jalousy
You want, I won't, I want, you do not
I want, you won't, you want, I do not
Try to create freedom for myself
Dare to speak, dare to fall
5. Dead Man Progress
Brothers, sisters, let us learn
To leave this path of no return
How long can we play this game which knows no gain
Mothers, fathers is this what you leave?
Mothers, fathers is this what you leave?
Or are we also to deceive?
The stakes are getting higher in this game which knows no gain
Mothers, fathers is this what you leave?
A world entire to renew
6. Instinct Of Pride
Taking, taking the fruit
letting it all wither away
wither away, leaving mere hate
Man has always abused his sister
Yet it's she who feeds the child which will once again become man
Fighting, fighting the wars
the enemy slain, spoils for the victor
(yet) mothers in pain, mothers in pain
Dying, dying sea
Our fragile womb, mother of all
all living things, all living things
Man has always abused his sister
Yet it's she who feeds the child which will once again become man
Instinct of pride
Think, think we not all
in means of gain, until the womb
can no longer sustain, no longer sustain
Man has always abused his sister
Yet it's she who feeds the child which will once again become man
Instinct of pride
7. Your Truth
Fighting for everyone
Defensive for everyone
Defiance by everyone
Absent in mind, I declare peace and war
Torture in thought, do you care?
Reading my lips, reading my words
Just a bubble of air
Suffocating..., breathing in
Fear me not, love me not
I am here to read your peace, war and fear
Save this mankind
Save this soul
Face down the world all alone
Do deny, your truth, deny!
Fighting everyone
Defensive of everyone
Defying everyone
Absent in mind, I declare peace and war
Torture of thought, do you even care?
Reading my lips, hearing my words
Just a bubble of air
Suffocating..., breathing in
Fear me not, love me not
I am here to learn your peace, war and fear
Save this mankind
Save this soul
Face down the world all alone
Do deny, your truth, deny!
Killing everyone
Not defending anyone
Defiance by everyone
Absent in mind, I've declared peace and war
Torture of thought, do you care?
Reading my eyes, reading my soul
Just a bubble of air
Suffocating..., breathing out
Fear me now, love me now
I am here to judge your peace with war and fear
Save this mankind
Save this soul
Face down the world all alone
Do deny, your truth, deny!
8. To Let Die
A new enemy to fight
New breed of barbarians
To know not
Yet to dispose
A threat to life as it is known
Civilization will be no more
Hatred will prosper from tribal war
Never to help, simply ignore
Can we all not comprehend
That when we draw the line
We will then have betrayed
Our brotherhood of man
Dare not see which is in all of us
We must see which is in all of us
To let die is living a lie
To let die is living a lie
Can we all not comprehend
That when we draw the line
We will then have betrayed
Our brotherhood of man
To let die is living a lie
9. Loss Of Dreams
That much is gone now
Opportunity is lost now
Fading...
With it leaving me
That is all we had then
Emptiness is left here
Destroying...
Hope inside of me
Anger is all that is left here
Comprehension no more
Creating...
Fear inside of me
Must not loose this thing
Call it a crazy dream
Searching...
For who I want to be
That much is coming now
Looking back to future plans
Changing...
My own destiny
Fighting for myself
Feeling like an empty shell
Living...
For the dreams come true
Will not, shall not, loose this dream
Hope is just a state of mind
Will not, shall not, loose this dream
Fear is just a state of mind
Will make, shall make, make this dream
Reality.
10. Revelations
First one to ride was white
Had a bow and a crown
He went forth conquering
Forth he went to conquer
Come and see
Other horse that was red
Power given, take peace
They should kill each other
There was given great sword
Come and see
Given the power, to kill with sword
Given the power, to kill with hunger
Given the power, to kill with death
Given the power, with beasts of earth
I beheld a black horse
One on him had the scales
Measure for a penny
Hurt not the oil and wine
Come and see
Fourth one to ride was pale
This was to be the last
Name of the one was Death
All Hell followed with him
Come and see
Given the power, to kill with sword
Given the power, to kill with hunger
Given the power, to kill with death
Given the power, with beasts of earth
They are riding, riding today
Come and see
Given the power, to kill with sword
Given the power, to kill with hunger
Given the power, to kill with death
Given the power
11. Redemption
Fear and anger, leave me be
Behold a future, you and me
From dark past, to bright, bright light
Will we then be given insight
Hope will be my driving force
I will be the one to learn
From the thing that should not have been
That put me in the state I was in
Death and sorrow, let them be
Leave these ashes, leave them be
From these ruins, let me learn
As a phoenix, I'll return
Life and death, question I
Day by day, always why
How I am going to be
Shall I then be free and see
Hope will be my driving force
I will be the one to learn
Fate and faith, are then they
Life's true spirit, who is to say
Dare not speak the hopeless thought
Of life's reason, it hasn't got
