1. The Ghost Inside
I have seen my life,
relive it many times.
Still there was no hope of a point of contact.
Still hoping to regain my long lost memories.
Strange things happen somewhere hidden in my mind.
In the dark and out the reach of time.
Out of time...
I feel blind,
but maybe time will open up my eyes.
It sets me free, destroying my disguise.
My disguise...
I keep telling to myself,
forgive me for my sins.
And the silence spoke to me...
And an answer never came.
I keep asking for truth,
the truth behind my mask.
And an old man stared at me
and the silence remains the same.
Surrounding mountains I try to climb,
to catch a view of life.
So much deeper I will fall...
Into oblivion.
To treasure the words of love and hate,
I will never understand.
But no one ever taught me...
It leaves me beyond redemption.
I was never born to live,
who was the one who gave?
But no one gives an answer...
An answer to behold.
I keep searching for my death,
release me from this pain.
But my blood is still boiling.
In my cold and frozen hands.
Strange things happen somewhere hidden in mind.
In the dark and out the reach of time.
Out of time...
I feel blind,
but maybe time will open up my eyes.
It sets me free, destroying my disguise.
My disguise...
2. Afraid to Surrender
Freeze me with this pain of a dying soul.
Let me fall into your arms to see myself wither away.
In a lengthening of time.
I'm carried away to the portals of the fallen.
Where only I can pray.
Why be afraid to surrender to your faith.
The sorrow and the grief are filled with pain and tears.
There were my blinded eyes can see.
and my lifeless heart can feel.
I'm there where my heart stopped bleeding and my wounds are healing.
I'm there where death conquers my empty soul and leave me all alone.
Why be afraid to surrender to your faith.
The sorrow and the grief are filled with pain and tears.
3. Darkness Falls
I'm gonna tell a little story.
About a man who sold his soul.
All he wanted was some glory.
All he wanted was control.
He was fighting in this war.
Without pain, without remorse.
Yes, they all stood side by side.
In an everlasting night.
Left his heart behind,
darkness fills his mind.
Left his heart behind alone...
Left his heart behind,
darkness fills his mind.
Left his heart behind alone...
Will you keep him warm?
Will you calm the storm?
'Cause this night he seeks tenderness inside.
Can you make him strong?
Let him know that all along.
You'll be there by his side.
Watch my shadow as I turn around.
The enemy won't see...
Deep in the heart of foreign land.
Death comes along with me...
As I aim the darkness falls.
This night belongs to me...
Just a flash into the night.
A victim far away...
When I fall into the arms of encountering enemy troops.
I hope my soul can get away.
Or my thoughts fornever free...
Will you keep him warm?
Will you calm the storm?
'Cause this night he seeks tenderness inside.
Can you make him strong?
Let him know that all along.
You'll be there by his side.
4. Shades of Sorrow
The rise and fall of nations.
It brings us hate, it takes us down.
It fills our lives with sorrow and disbelief.
There is so much more to live for but not for me.
It drags me forth, to the rivers end.
Where I intent to find some piece of mind.
It divides my world...
In my life there aren't dreams of perspective.
And the will to continue our lives with joy.
Although it doesn't make me miserable or sad.
I never thought about it, like this before.
In all ages, life has always been the same.
When they say, children are the future.
They will never change this world into a better place.
For all to stay.
We failed to respect the world with love and care.
We fight against all hatred, which filled this world.
Seeing mankind drowning in it's own blood and misery.
We've reached the point of no return, a painful tragedy.
The candle doves, the night is falling soon.
Maybe I'm wrong and it will be an untold future.
Do I hear laughter or is it mankind crying.
My doubts are growing, my hope is gone.
When I feel all hope is gone.
This is my home, here is where I belong.
I hope....
5. Desperation
Every night I'm scared.
Will tomorrow be the same as today?
In my dreams I don't care.
But when I'm awake.
My thoughts are always there.
I'm wandering again.
In a night without an end.
But there seems to be another day for me.
I have lived the past.
And I'm afraid to see it all again.
Distorted images move fast.
And blur my vision.
Like an old and loving friend.
I'm wandering again.
In a night without an end.
But there seems to be another day for me.
I'm searching for myself in everyone else.
Is there someone to show me the way?
I'm wandering again.
In a night without end.
But there seems to be another day for me...
6. From the Grave...
Don't you lie now for I will die.
I've been loved by you, so I won't cry.
As I feel the emptiness returning.
I can't stop my heart from yearning,
for a touch of heaven.
As I leave this world, I can't stop thinking.
The one I loved will keep on sinking,
into emptiness.
Sorrow for the years.
We've just lived, but never loved.
Going different ways but traveling on to same destination.
They said we were a strange combination.
Pain for the loss of all this time.
All this time we were fighting each other without knowing why.
Maybe they were right, we didn't want to see.
But please, in these a last few minutes,
hold on to me.
I didn't think, It would be like this,
our ending, fragile as a kiss.
The moment of our farewell
is painted black in my memories forever
I buried myself deep within emotions.
It's hard to find another solution.
I know this pain will never end.
I can feel it, 'cause it's heaven send.
You and I were sleepwalking over this world.
Watching dreams go by.
You and I, searching the moment.
Seeking the truth behind the lies.
And now I lay in your arms, holding you so strong.
Words like how I'm missing you,
are telling tales about the way our lives could have been.
Oh, a future I did see.
Oh, how I want you to share this moment of joy with me.
But I know, yes I know time is running out for us,
running away from me.
You can taste the grief in my tears.
My journey will end beside you.
Sadness falls down on me like a curtain of tears.
And the pain creeps inside every bone.
Drowning in endless moments of isolation.
Nothing can take away my fears.
Even the silence like the sound of pounding drums.
Sings to me like a choir of the fallen.
I try to reach out to you.
But you can't hear my cries from the grave.
7. Beyond the Light
The night is gone and they are tired.
But the taste of victory is strong.
Marching past those dreadful fires.
Longing for a peaceful home.
Where candles burn instead of men.
Burning for their fallen friends.
And children play with wooden swords.
Pretending to be one of them.
Streets are filled with hopeful wives.
Who all proudly raise their heads.
Are their loved ones still alive?
Or will they sleep in empty beds.
On pillows soaked with silent tears.
Full of dark but lucid dreams.
Now the time is almost there.
To see what's become of all their fears.
When I open up my eyes.
These Images reflect the darkened skies.
I try to hide insanity.
Still trapped inside this tragedy.
It's difficult to accept this new reality.
Start believing my own lies.
I want to believe...
So listen to your heart!
Is there something left... a sense of life?
There is still hope...
But where can it be found?
You must search your entire soul!
I shall try so hard...
There is still some good inside
In this world I really can't exist.
In the end there's nobody I've truly missed.
The shadow of my past, it conquers me.
I've chosen the easy path of war.
Don't you walk away from me!
It's the only way to be...
Think of the love we're giving you.
It feels so damn cold inside!
But all we give is warmth.
It burns my soul deep within!!!
My eyes are filled with hate.
The fear in their eyes will bring them to their fate.
No one will ever escape my pain.
I feel so much rage, blood and agony.
Killing all of them, it's like a monstrosity.
All of them will soon be mine.
It seems to be the fear is gone.
Somehow they let the past go free.
But it's the silence before the storm.
Because some wounds are deepening.
Leaving scars inside his mind.
Shades of red which turn him blind.
He feels the moment's almost there.
To leave humanity behind.
Although used to feel the pain. (I want to believe)
He's too scared to kill himself.
But the urge runs through his veins. (There's still hope)
He exists for no one else.
Hating men's mortality.
While he steps beyond the light. (For love!)
Everyone he used to love.
Now becomes his enemy...
