Rage - End Of All Days lyrics



Tracks



01. Under Control

Like a kiss of evil it took hold on me.
Creeping paranoia, it will get me day by day.
Like the deadly viper with it's poisoned teeth
it is getting in my blood, a killing brain desease.

Oh, no, the thrill became a curse,
oh, the right has turned to wrong.
It's just me, myself to blame,
yes I could have seen it coming.

Now I'm a wasted man
this is 'cause I am under control.
Inside a self built cage,
screaming out the rage, under control.
Enslave my soul, I'm under control.

I can't live without it and I need it now,
what is I know about it will destroy me anyhow.
I have lost my free will, it's enslaving me.
Face inside me mirror let me out and set me free.

Oh, no, the thrill became a curse,
oh, the right has turned to wrong.
It's just me, myself to blame,
yes I could have seen it coming.

Now I'm a wasted man
this is 'cause I am under control.
Inside a self built cage,
screaming out the rage, under control.
Enslave my soul, I'm under control.
Yes, I am.

02. Higher Than The Sky

So, now my time has come.
I will be dead and gone
from the earth's face.
It is my destiny,
this time I cannot cannot hide
from this cruel fate.

A never ending memory,
a life before my eyes.
Whatever comes, whatever's been,
my pocket full of lies.

Like an arrow in the air,
falling endlessly and I know we're gonna be

Higher than the sky, we're
higher than the sky.

An ordinary flight,
who could imagine this
will be our death cell.

No miracle in sight,
We're diving faster now,
as for as I can tell.
I see the faces passing by,
there's fear inside this eyes.

They all will be my company
we're brothers now for life.

Like an arrow in the air,
falling endlessly and I know we're gonna be

Higher than the sky, we're
higher than the sky.

03. Deep In The Blackest Hole

Hey, what have they done to you?
Say, do you mean what you do?
Just like a spark that fell aside, or what -
you're telling me you're happy but I know you're not.

I look into your eyes and see you heart is black.
Are you afraid of me or why don't you look back?
You're telling me to follow, do it like you've said,
you'll get me never, never, never...

What has happened to you life?
Do you really want it so, 'cause

I don't want to be like you, the time will come,
when everything too late
Deep in the blackest hole.
I'll never be like you and you will end
frustrated, full on hate,
deep in the blackest hole!

You don't like to see the world
like it is, you try to change it all.
You're in defense, only appologize,
you're telling me you're lucky but I know your lies.

I look into your eyes and see your heart turns red
like if you're wounded but no drop of blood is shed.
You don't look for a cure, instead you're hurting me,
You'll get me never, never, never...

What has happened to you life?
Everything you had is missing.

I don't want to be like you, the time will come,
when everything too late
Deep in the blackest hole.
I'll never be like you and you will end
frustrated, full on hate,
deep in the blackest hole!

What has happened to you life?
Do you really want it so, 'cause

I don't want to be like you, the time will come,
when everything too late
Deep in the blackest hole.
I'll never be like you and you will end
frustrated, full on hate,
deep in the blackest hole!

04. End Of All Days

Thinking on my yesterdays,
I have failed in many ways,
but I won't complain, 'cause I
had my share when luck passed by.
Then you came into my life
and became my biggest pride.
I thought the cards had turned for me,
oh, if I knew.

And then, when this fatal moment came to be
I couldn't turn the steering wheel around...

Once I feel in love with you,
now I can't stop feeling blue.
Will I ever be the same?
Free me from this crying shame,
Hey, you won't find me.
I'll, I'll hide 'till the end of all days.

I still don't know what happened there,
my mind is blocked, I was too scared.
But they told me you had died,
now the future's out of sight.
If I could have seen it coming
I'd had turned the other way,
but then we were smashed,
our lifes were torn apart.

They can tell me a hundred times I'm not to blame.
I didn't turn the steering wheel around...

Once I feel in love with you,
now I can't stop feeling blue.
Will I ever be the same?
Free me from this crying shame,
Hey, you won't find me.
I'll, I'll hide 'till the end of all days.

05. Visions

Headed away and took off in the sky,
the air was as bright as my mind.
And everything on the ground floated by,
a land of toys, undefined.

Glittering clouds that were puzzled in the air,
hiding a secret, not easy to share.

I've got visions and I can't
get then out of my mind,
it was a moment in time.
I've got visions and I can't
get them out of my mind,
what am I leaving behind?
I've got visions...

I saw a face that I'll never forget,
staring at me through the mist.
Leaving a trace that lead into my head,
the other side I have missed.

There in the hemispheres I caught a view in life
where all is streaming and nothing will die.

I've got visions and I can't
get then out of my mind,
it was a moment in time.
I've got visions and I can't
get them out of my mind,
what am I leaving behind?
I've got visions...

06. Desperation

Oh, can't you tell me what makes me fell this way?
It's overwhelming, obscuring all my days.

Give me a reason to carry on for more.
The change of season, it undermines my core.
A constant darkness coating me,
I cannot see you, no more...

Excuse me for the things I've said,
if I could change it I'd be glad,
it is just, it drives me to desperation,
to desperation.

There's no solution, I'm heading for the end.
The consecution is lying in my hand.
A constant streaming, opening me.
I cannot feel you, no more...

Forgive me all the things I've made
for peace of mind, now it's too late,
it is just, it drives me to desperation.

Excuse me for the things I've said,
if I could change it I'll be glad,
it is just, it drives me to desperation,
to desperation.

07. Voice From The Vault

In a dark and spooky graveyard,
there he's waiting in the deep
for the day when he will wake up
from his godless, deadlike sleep.

Since a while she heard these voices,
calling in her sleep at nights,
telling her she has to return
to become his mouldering wife.

Soon will come what she was told,
she cannot longer resist his call.

Oh, midnight and she's all alone
among the graves where it's so dark and cold.
Oh, she's heard his infernal voice
from the vault.

Long ago, when they were younger
they were married, lucky times.
But then clouds locked the horizons,
a martyrium for her life.
Then she's got this evil plan, she
put the poison in his tea.
And he passed away, real slowly,
noone noticed, she was free.

Soon will come what she was told,
she cannot longer resist this call.

On, midnihgt and she's all alone
among the graves where it's so dark and cold.
Oh, she's heard his infernal voice from the vault.

"The truth, give me the truth!
You've killed me and I want you to pay.
You've promised to be mine and I want you now.
I will make you follow!"

Now he took hold on her mind,
he's possesing her complete.
She's no longer self-controlled,
and he is moving her feet.
Lays her body then to rest,
covers her with his caress.
And the ground is broken up
when the new born morning comes.

Now has come what she has told,
she couldn't longer resist his call.

Oh, midnight and she's all alone
among the graves where it's so dark and cold.
Oh, she's heard his infernal voice
from the vault.

08. Let The Night Begin

Sometimes when I get this feeling
for a very subtile thing,
then I need a break, a healing
from the daily bore I'm in.

If I didn't have these moments
I'd be going crazy soon,
so I'll pack my things tonight and go.

Let the night begin,
the fall of darkness washes my sins,
the rising moon will pick me up
to find an opened mind...

Yes I simply love these moments
getting lost within the night.
And my friends, the dead, will teach me
what I need to know for life.

They all made their own mistakes
but have died in early death.
I don't want to end like everyone.

Let the night begin,
the fall of darkness washes my sins,
the rising moon will pick me up
to find an opened mind..
Let the night begin,
my sight's reduced to eyes within,
the light of moon will shelter me,
so let the night begin...

09. Fortress

The wall inside, he built to defend himself.
He needs to hide, to keep independency.

The race is on, it can't be won.

A fortress in you head
one step among the dead.
Security for fear,
a fortress, caging in
for what you're here.

The pain inside, disappoinments everyday.
To keep his pride he can't find a better way (than)
to lock his mind, though he'll lose life.

A fortress in you head
one step among the dead.
Security for fear,
a fortress, caging in
for what you're here.

A fortress in you head
one step among the dead.
Security for fear,
a fortress in you head, oh.
A fortress caging in,
unreal behind your grin.
Security is lie,
a fortress caging in untill you die.

10. Frozen Fire

And my brain feels like a rock.
In my veins the stream is locked.
There's no pulse and there's no beat.
I am dead but not complete.

I must be waiting for the day,
lying in this box.
When they found a way against decay,
till then I'm this block of

frozen fire, in this iceland sleeps desire,
frozen fire, a blue flame beneath the wire,
I'm frozen...

In this darkness I'm alone.
Will I stay or am I gone?
Where're the others by my side?
Help me in eternal night!

Slowly I feel a growing fear,
could this be my hell?
If they can't find the way out if here
I'm forgotten, last farewell, I'm

frozen fire, in this iceland sleeps desire,
frozen fire, a blue flame beneath the wire,
I'm frozen...

And my brain feels like a rock.

11. Talking To The Dead

I listened inside myself,
the voice that I heard, it wasn't mine,
it came from time to time.
I listened real close and I found out
that someone was talking through my mind,
told me wat to find.

With every sense on highest intense
I tried to understand and I
asked in the dark
and got an answer and since then I know
I'm talking to the dead
I'm talking to the dead
You gotta hear me
talking to the dead,
I'm talking to the dead
and I can hear them talk!

There are so many voices,
they all belong to different heads
and they all are dead.
They have eternal knowldge
and they will help me anytime,
they are on my mind.

With every sense on highest intense
I tried to understand and I
asked in the dark
and got an answer and since then I know
I'm talking to the dead
I'm talking to the dead
You gotta hear me
talking to the dead,
I'm talking to the dead
and I can hear them talk!

12. Face Behind The Mask

You're such a liar, when I first saw you
I really thought you'd be our man.
You started sighin' and caged us all in,
seems that we've built our hopes on sand

I can see your real self in your eyes.
You don't want to be my friend.

You speak with a forked tongue,
say "hi", but it means "go to hell" -
over and over again.
The face behind the mask.
All that you've done was for taking
and not for giving.
I've recognized what's within,
saw the face behind the mask.

You're such a coward, we brought you forward,
we gave you chances on and on.
But you just wasted what we invested,
now there's no way to carry on.

I can see your real self in your eyes.
You don't want to be my friend.

You speak with a forked tongue,
say "hi", but it means "go to hell" -
over and over again.
The face behind the mask.
All that you've done was for taking
and not for giving.
I've recognized what's within,
saw the face behind the mask.

Look in the mirror behind the mask.

You're such a loser, there's no excuses,
you'll never make it mark my words.
Forget your sighin, there is no way, man.
I'll never trust again in you, no!

I can see your real self in your eyes.
You don't want to be my friend.

You speak with a forked tongue,
say "hi", but it means "go to hell" -
over and over again.
The face behind the mask.
All that you've done was for taking
and not for giving.
I've recognized what's within,
saw the face behind the mask.

13. Silent Victory

Here we are, we talk about too many things.
But we can't
find the words when death is on it's way.

If we don't remember this
we won't be prepare for the final day.

A silent victory, it made me see
that all is meant to be,
my dearest friend, it's not the end.

Our time is short,
our castles built on sand of make believe.
At the gates of eternity the heart is free.

And I will remember this
something's there that's stronger than our pain.

A silent victory, it made me see
that all is meant to be,
my dearest friend, it's not the end.

A silence victory, it made me free
to step outside on me
and in the end I'm born again.

I reach out my hands to reality of life
far beyond all images.

And I will remember this
something's there that's stronger than our pain.

A silent victory, it made me see
that all is meant to be,
my dearest friend, it's not the end.

A silence victory, it made me free
to step outside on me
and in the end I'm born again.

14. Fading Hours

Who tells sader stories?
Tears in broken eyes
telling 'bout the worries,
search for cure from whys.

A something to believe in, not leaving, still living.
There must have been a reason for all, she said.

Fading hours of pleasure and pain,
trust me now, it wasn't in vain.
In this life some things will remain
from fading hours.

Why didn't you answer?
You looked through me, it seemed.
It all's changed but I can't swear,
the whole scene's so unreal.

I'm still an unbeliever, won't leave you,
still live here.
There must have been a reason for all, she said.

Fading hours of plesure and pain,
trust me now, it wasn't in vain.
In this life some things will remain
from fading hours.

Fading hours, but my time stood still.
My missing shadow can't explain.
But the pictures on your table will,
they're showing me pale white,
the coffin's opened wide...
I've forgotten fading hours.

16. The Sleep

If you don't know me: I came from beyond
My name doesn't matter, 'cause that's not the point
This has no meaning where I'll take you now
Open your mind, then we're ready to go
What I will show you is all that you need
That no living man on this earth ever has seen
An answer to all of the questions you had
The only solution you'll never regret...

Hey, this can't be real
This unbelieveable longing I feel
Still it's pushing me on
Pushing me out of my body

The sleep-destination unseen
The sleep-death is not what it seems to be

This is the real world, now you're on my side
The doors of eternity are opened wide
What you see now is what comes after death
If you have wishes, the answer is yes
Without a body we're all energy
And we drown into all things here to be
All of the places you wanted to see
All of your visions - you are into it

Hey, this is so real
Please let me stay here, I love what I feel
But I know I'm not dead
I have to get back to my body
(It's pushing me back to my body)

The sleep-destination unseen
The sleep-death is not what it seems to be

17. The Trooper

The fire's burning bloody red
The tide is turning but we don't regret
The devil's demons 're coming in our lifes
All evil dreams, we make 'em here alive

Look into our torture chambers, your life isn't worth a dime
Hating, raping, killing day by day

That's how, how we teat each other
We never learn from history, this world's a big absurdity
That's how, how we treat each other
We seem too blind to see it's us who's wasted in our hands at last...

Dropped bombs are falling, falling to the ground
The politicians, they won't hear a sound

Look into the cities jungle, your life isn't worth a dime
Hating, raping, killing day by day

That's how, how we teat each other
We never learn from history, this world's a big absurdity
That's how, how we treat each other
We seem too blind to see it's us who's wasted in our hands at last...

The kid is killing, doesn't know 'bout life
That he's destroying, too fragile to survive

That's how, how we teat each other
We never learn from history, this world's a big absurdity
That's how, how we treat each other
Humanity is just a word, it echoes on, remains unheard
