01. The Beloved And The Hatred

Where is your...
Where is your...
Where is your love?

The smaller the keys, the bigger the locks
Closure of dorms for the hatred
Pick a key and watch!
Sesame open, just meaningless words
A daring mixture of shelter and temptation
The one who dares will gain the blame
Lines web into my heart
To tear it slightly apart
Where's your love?

The smaller the keys, the bigger the locks
Closure of dorms for the hatred
Pick a key and watch!
Sesame open, just meaningless words

Tell me, where's your love
Tell me, where's your heart
Don't look back to that start
Where's your love?

A daring mixture of shelter and temptation
The one who dares will gain the blame
Lines web into my heart
To tear it slightly apart

Where is your love?
Where is your heart?

Tell me, where's your love
Tell me, where's your heart
Don't look back to that start
Where's your love?

A daring mixture of shelter and temptation
The one who dares will gain the blame
Lines web into my heart
To tear it slightly apart

Where is your love?

02. Goodbye

Goodbye
A word that makes me cry.
All the joy and all the fun
Are suddenly gone
Goodbye...

I can feel the cold steel on my shaking skin

I stand alone with my thoughts
On a crossway to neverwhere,
Every end shows your tender face,

A long kiss goodbye,
In my head the distance rises,
This sheer endless time of despair
Goodbye

I can feel the cold steel on my shaking skin,
A long kiss goodbye
I can feel the cold steel on my shaking skin,
A long kiss goodbye

I stand alone with my thoughts
On a crossway to neverwhere,
Every end shows your tender face

A long kiss goodbye
My tears flow over,
The time just fans the fire,
The time just fans the fire,
Why can't you stay forever?
Whay can't you just pull the trigger
I wish this nightmare would end,
Goodbye

I can feel the cold steel on my shaking skin,
A long kiss goodbye
I can feel the cold steel on my shaking skin,
A long kiss goodbye

I stand alone with my thoughts
On a crossway to neverwhere,
Every end shows your tender face

03. I've Sold Myself

Don't look at me like that,
I am your creation,
My actions will teach you,
None of your tears can change me again,
It's too late for this!
What do you see and feel when you abuse me?

Don't pretend like you feel any pain
Forget about it, I have no conscience,
You took that from me
And now you complain about me being cruel

But this is exactly what you want,
You want no heart,
But this is exactly what you want,
You want no contract

You want to play and that is what you want me for,
That's why I'm your toy, my words mean nothing,
It's on the shadow of me that I'm giving to you

But this is exactly what you want,
You want no heart,
But this is exactly what you want,
You want no contract

I've sold myself and given me away...
Let me be myself again
I've sold myself and given me away...
I want to give up this game

But this is exactly what you want,
You want no heart,
But this is exactly what you want,
You want no contract

04. Stand Up

I'm there of what you dream.
I see you, but what are you?

You make me sick, eat me up.
Stand up!
I was there where you will never be

Bits come off your shell,
But I recognize still nothing.
You change with the flow of the masses,
A thick empty shell with no content,
I keep my eyes shut, but I scream at you.
Just open your eyes.

Take me up, tear me down,
But when I'm gone,
You're the one who's left
Take me up, tear me down,
You're the one who's left

I can't recognize you
A bug full of standups!
I can't recognize you
A bug full of standups!

Bits come off your shell,
But I recognize still nothing.
You change with the flow of the masses,
A thick empty shell with no content,
I keep my eyes shut, but I scream at you.
Just open your eyes.

Take me up, tear me down,
But when I'm gone,
You're the one who's left
Take me up, tear me down,
You're the one who's left

05. Senseless Fight

I've got the space I need
I've got the air to breathe
I've got the mood to bleed
I need to breath, to bleed

This senseless fight will never end,
You teach me to forget
I can not win

I feel weak and helpless,
This prision make me sick
You teach me to forget
But forget means disrespect

This senseless fight will never end,
(Will never end)
You teach me to forget
I can not win

Just let me go and don't look back
While my flesh begins to burn,
Just come back to bury my forsaken soul
And tell my heart goodbye!

This senseless fight will never end,
(Will never end)
You teach me to forget
I can not win

06. Stigmata

I made one step back and reached out my hand...
To touch my picture in the mirror
I'm sticking in an amour of fear
Observing my image from the outside

I can't believe what's left of myself...

I always tried my best and I never justified
I tried so hard but in the end it doesn't even matter
Nobody's out there, no one to hold my hand

I can't believe what's left of myself

My time is up

I feel like I'm gone as long before
My time is up

My time is up
I made one step back and reached out my hand
To touch my picture in the mirror
I'm sticking in an armour of fear
Observing my image from the outside

I can't believe what's left of myself...

I feel like I'm gone as long before
My time is up
I feel like I'm gone as long before
My time is up

07. Certainty...Corpses Bleed Cold

Arms are weak, my feet are stiff & cold
Why do I not escape?

Arms are weak, my feet are stiff & cold
Why do I not escape?
Arms are weak, my feet are stiff & cold
I'm the scourage of my self made walls

Shadows of the past thrown on me
And broke my walls,
All the time that has passed

However the pain is not less
Hopelessly caught in emptiness

Recognition of boredom...

Arms are weak, my feet are stiff & cold
Why do I not escape?
Arms are weak, my feet are stiff & cold
I'm the scourage of my self made walls

Dreams of hope come up
And let me fall again even deeper
Into the land of pain,
Steel colours my skin deep red,
No death, but eternal torture...

Recognition of boredom...

Arms are weak, my feet are stiff & cold
Why do I not escape?
Arms are weak, my feet are stiff & cold
I'm the scourage of my self made walls

08. My Little Secret

I wake up in flames,
Like everyday with my heart in my hands

I wake up in flames,
Like everyday with my heart in my hands,
I wake up in flames,
Say my name and I will rise again

I will rise again
I will kill again, I will...
Say my name and I will kill again

I wake up in flames,
Like everyday with my heart in my hands,
I wake up in flames,
Say my name and I will rise again

Here is my little secret,
Stay back or I will kill... kill kill
Here is my little secret,
Stay back or I will kill... kill kill

I promised you my blood,
I gave you my life,
But you threw it all away

Go, run, flee
Go, run, flee, faster...

I wake up in flames
Like everyday with my heart in my hands
I wake up in flames,
Say my name... again

Here is my little secret,
Stay back or I will kill... kill kill
Here is my little secret,
Stay back or I will kill... kill kill

09. One Of These Days

Wake up and see the truth
It's over for sure
Like the sinking of the moon

All hope seems to be gone
All lust is fading away
For the dust of forgetting

Every breath aches as it was the last
Every moment distored through tears

The walls have fallen down,
Pure cold reality surrounds me,
Is hugging me

This big, black hold inside me
Screams for fulfilment and nearness
So tell me who I am
Tell me lies
So tell me who I am
Give me hope
So tell me who I am
Lead me to my heart

All hope seems to be gone
All lust is fading away
For the dust of forgetting

Every breath aches as it was the last
Every moment distored through tears

The walls have fallen down,
Pure cold reality surrounds me,
Is hugging me

The awareness of emptiness
Pushes me down to earth...

10. Salvation

A long distance run without any tension
Raptured soul, raptured life
A long distance run without any tension
Grow in the half of a night, bloom!

Live this life in straight lines
Step aside, step below
Watch yourself falling
Flight lines, light lines become clear

Slightly I remember the way
To the origin of despair

Reality is what come first

Attempt to see through my eyes
Careless and senseless devotion
Nothingness is a part of me
On the behalf of your imagination.

The blackened curtain seems to fall,
Beside the stage we lose out soul,
A different place, a distant time,
Say goodbye...
Salvation

Blacken the earth and darken the sky

The blackened curtain seems to fall,
Beside the stage we lose out soul,
A different place, a distant time,
Say goodbye...
Salvation

A long distance run without any tension
Raptured soul, raptured life
A long distance run without any tension
Grow in the half of a night, bloom!

Live this live in straight lines
Step aside, step below
Watch yourself falling

Watch yourself falling...

11. Diary Of An Addict

No one hears you
No one fears you
You are invisible
Nothing
Trace of belief

You're going blind
Dazzeled by the beauty of the day
Your footsteps slowly dissappear...
Release your soul

This is a diary
The diary of an addict
it's just a diary
Only written words...

Help me, get me out of here

Your own mind leads you to this
Just remembering where you are
Beneath the cold and senseless...
No trace of belief

Help me, get me out of here

Your throat swells, your eyes glow
Deep inside you swallow the blood
Hit the darkness, feel the cold...
Release your soul

Help me, get me out of here

This is a diary
The diary of an addict
It's just a diary
Only written words.

12. 100 Suns

A hundred suns, born to kill
it is madness, a sun created by man
Once again a perverse irony of life
Earth creates, man destroys

Love and hatred
We are the butchers of the earth
A hundred suns will be born
Millions of lives will fall

The first lightening
A picture without protection and sense

The end, torture and death
When do they stop?
When is it over?
One day they will all stand up
Rebel against us
Exterminated us

The first lightening
A picture without protection and sense

A hundred suns, born to kill
It is madness, a sun created by man
Once again a perverse irony of life
Earth creates, man destroys

Love and hatred
We are the butchers of the earth
A hundred suns will be born
Millions of lives will fall

The end, torture and death
When do they stop?
When is it over?
One day they will all stand up
Rebel against us
Exterminated us

Born to kill

13. Trapped In Time

What have I done?
I have broken the contract and I burn to ashes...
I've sworn to be true to myself but I broke with me,
A pure no and everything would be allright...

But I was weak and fell deep,
The sun sets
A day goes by
Beauty rises up
The day has gone...

Here is my life
Trapped in time
This is my life
Is this my fault
Trapped in time

Noise turns in silence...
Time has past
Past is part of life
(I stand still)

Here is my life
Trapped in time
This is my life
Is this my fault
Trapped in time

People pass by, pacing firm paths,
I stand still in time and burn to ashes...

Thoughts of tomorrow
Knives cut flesh,
Thoughts of tomorrow,
What have I done?
