Neverday
06:03
|
|||
All hopes are shattered on the floor
I voluntarily close the open door of my own cage
Oh, I have gone astray
My aching mind is lost in yesterday
Don't look back, bridges burn
There's no return
Let a new day begin
Devour my fear
What is left of confidence?
Nobody else can see the walls you face
All I could ever find in life
I sacrifice tonight
Don't look back, bridges burn
There's no return
Let a new day begin
Devour my fear
You're running, hiding
Lost and somber
Faltering, falling
Is this what you want?
I am losing the game
Don't you see? I'm forlorn
In the heart of the night
Specters are haunting my mind
Lead me through the dark and show me
How to break
The prison of my doubts where every
Dream is fake
Give me strength; I will strive
For every treasure of this life

Aeons Of Sadness
06:25
|
|||
Inside of you a million dying stars,
Shatters of your soul
Inside of me a thousand broken lives
Bounded by one sorrow
Memory may fade,
but the promise will stay
I'm in love with my agony
and this agony has your name
I cannot escape the feeling inside
that I will never fight
a subtle sadness in your eyes
And no one knows that void has swallowed us
That we don't belong in this world
Don't be afraid, we are one
Wherever you go, I'll follow
Please, let me rest now,
for my spirit is weak;
In hours of despair remember -
My shadow's always near
Now you are gone
And the secret's revealed
You were hiding behind the mask
But you've never learned to live
I couldn't escape that feeling inside
and I never fought
a subtle sadness in your eyes

Soulglass
08:00
|

Sing the swan song of honour
I'll stay no one in my sweet misery
And you will not ever feel the sorrow
As standing at my grave with the smile of a deceiver
Once I felt so much love of yours
And once you left at nightfall
Now remember the fragile trustful soul
That lived for you
Don't be so shy,
Don't close your eyes
Watch me enfeebled dying in your arms
It's time for you to drink the wine
From a bleeding soulglass
Hear the music of winds
Their dirge for me will last forever
Feel the pain I have borne through all these years
As a ghost from the past I will haunt you, my dear
Why don't you leave me?
Why?
I'm not the one to bless you
On your way to depth
Cursed and forsaken soul
In your own hell

Spring Covered With Snow
05:17
|
|||
I watch the passing years
Summer dew and autumn clouds
Still restless heart can't share that peace
The noble giants rise aside
Their ancient wisdom joins the skies
But when I close the eyes
I rush towards the past
Where days were always cold...
Should I stay there forever?
My spring is sleeping inside of
The frozen gardens of my bitter memory
Oh, I wish the time could heal
The lifelong agony
I see a perfect world
Of silent harmony
But I'm a bird that's scared to fly
The roots of fear have grown so deep
This is the curse I have to keep
I still remember all
The place without the roads
With no one by my side...
Should I stay there forever?

Shattered Universe
07:16
|
|||
One fatal shot changed everything
It seems to be a morbid dream
Now the emptiness is to become
My new reality
And in the world that fell apart
Nothing will be the same
Through utter dark I have to run to find myself
For so long they have tried to fix
What's broken inside me
I'm on my knees, I'm on the ground
This hopeless struggle's all I've got
It's only real in my dreams
The world they took away from me
I fight to break this curse
But some wars can't be won
Lost in a shattered universe
That man is now gone
How to collect scattered pieces of life
when they all slip away?
Only beyond the great divide my tragedy will end

Night falls and they come to me
Ghosts from the days I won't forget
I can hear them crawling near
Upon my walls, upon my bed
Faces and names
Rise from the haze
Turn every breath to shame
Darkness conceals the marks on your skin
But the pain will not go away
Flashback!
The horror's rising again
For years it's stayed inside
Why can't I run away from that hell?
Why does it always drag me back?
Cursing the life
you walk through the fire
breathing the blood and fear
Child of the war,
Your wounded soul will never heal
Rescue me!
Flashback!
I feel the touch of death
It has become a part of me
I am nothing but a prisoner
in the narrow cage of memories of a broken man

Scream Of Silence
07:27
|
|||
Come to me once in my sleep
And free me from the never-ending silent scream
Everywhere, I see you everywhere
Now that you're gone, the silence stays
Why did you leave me with this killing silence?
Why did you leave me with this screaming silence?
I see your shadow next to me
Silence…
But all that's gone cannot be real
Silence swallows me, it burns like flame on my skin
There is a shame deep inside
I know it'll never, never leave
My mistake I can't deny
For many years I've prayed for chance to say goodbye
Couldn’t stay, I know you couldn’t stay
And I understand your loneliness today
Why can't I let it go?
The memories are just a painful echo of the things we can’t redo
I meet you in my dreams over and over again, but...
the morning always ruins all my hopes...

Just Tired
03:53
|
|||
I hear your quiet song,
The voice so beautiful and luring
You are here to save me from the bitter truth i know now
The darkest moment,
the moment that is meant for everyone…
Could I ever hope for it to be less lonely?
