02. Ripples

Today I saw the world, from a different view
The prospect of the future is now unclear
Today i saw the truth, the truth about tomorrow
all that i care for turned to rust
and now i don't know where to go

Have we lost, have we failed will we ever be able to act
Have we come to the point where we don't se the fact?

We plague our nature
we plague our mighty god above
there's no longer salvation
Are we willing to die for nothing
Ungrateful despite the blessings

Tomorrow we'll be confused
Rounded up in panic
Tomorrow we'll flee,
and you'll blame it on me
can't you see?

We can't resist the temptations we face
in our wasted, shallow lives
and the sound of our misery will never fade out

So If we are the ones
Will we be given mercy for our actions
or will we have a second chance
stop the flame from burning out
where do we go now
is there nothing more for us to do
will we find a better place
or can we stop this fading flame

Have we lost, have we failed will we ever be able to act
Have we come to the point where we don't se the fact?

We plague our nature
we plague our mighty god above
there's no longer salvation
Are we willing to die for nothing
Ungrateful despite the blessings

03. Do I Dare ?

It cuts deep inside of me
'cause I thought we were meant to be
from the moment we met
the smile, the joy, the love all gone
in a second it went from right to wrong
It was meant to break
and it can not be replaced

Tell me why you left me,
I didn't even have the chance
to tell you what I felt for you
before you let me go
I just need to know
What you're gonna say
it hurts so bad, so

Do I dare to walk again
After all that we've been through
Do I dare to dream about the smile
that made it all be so real

Painted in blood, cuts in my chest
heart broken misery, wound up, stressed
never to be changed
answer my prays before I burn
day after day I hope for return
left in the cold

Do I dare to walk again
After all that we've been through
Do I dare to dream about the smile
that made it all be so real

Tell me why you left me,
I didn't even have a chance
to tell you what I felt for you
before you let me go
I just need to know
when are you gonna see
it hurts so bad, so

Do I dare to walk again
After all that we've been through
Do I dare to dream about the smile
that made it all be so real

Love me, feel me, help me take my pain away
Tell me, show me, do you have something to say

04. Remorse

Have you ever looked into the mirror
in faith of finding yourself
Have you ever made a promise
a promise you couldn't keep?

I regret and I'm sorry
I'm sorry for the pain I caused you
Help me find forgiveness

Are you sometimes frightened of tomorrow
do you fear the truth?
Do you dare to stand up for your sins,
and feel the wounds deep within
Or are you afraid of the shame?

Rise from the fall try to capture what you've lost
angels sings to restore your memory

You've got to rise from the fall, try to capture what you have lost
angels sings to restore your memory, you are not alone

05. Between Black & White

There are so many paths in life, but only one to follow
and if you choose another course, you'll be banished, and cursed in sorrow
all my life I have been told that wherever I may go
I must never try to stand out, I am not as good as them

We fear our inner selves
Where did we go wrong?

Wake up, they're never gonna see
they go on, and on, and on
to the point where they can't control their inner selves
when the daylight turn to shades of grey
when the evening sun just fades away
in the deck of the night there is no colored light
are we left with black and white

Sometimes I wonder if they'll always be the same
will they ever open their eyes, or am I hoping in vain?
I have tried to understand the purpose of their ways,
but it made the colors fade away

We fear our inner selves
Where did we go wrong?

Wake up, they're never gonna see
they go on, and on, and on
to the point where they can't control their inner selves
when the daylight turn to shades of grey
when the evening sun just fades away
in the deck of the night there is no colored light
are we left with black and white

I see them coming with their heads soaked in blood
They will never be wiser,
if they don't turn their heads
they must try another way

I've been a victim of forsaken minds
I've been forced down on my knees
I've been trapped between the colors they see
And now I will break free

Wake up, they're never gonna see
they go on, and on, and on
to the point where they can't control their inner selves
when the daylight turn to shades of grey
when the evening sun just fades away
in the deck of the night there is no colored light
are we left with black and white

06. Catatonic Coma

Captured by a strange power
forced to live alone
no longer able to choose what to do
And I try to sustain calm
because the calmness is my survival

Am I gone forever, will I stay in here
no one around me, will nothing ever change

The bitterness is growing inside me
it's getting stronger for every day
I try not to hate
but the hate has become my survival

Am I gone forever, will I stay in here
no one around me, will nothing ever change

And now the memories fades away
The memories can't be taken away
You know I need a place to stay
I will be taken by you anyway
Now get inside these walls and pray
Get on your knees for me, you will pray
My mind needs a way

Am I gone forever, will I stay in here
no one around me, will nothing ever change

07. Torn Apart

I can see the face of evil when I close my eyes
and I'm left with too much to change
the trace you left me makes me bleed again
I was an easy prey, so young, so vulnerable

In my dreams I crawl in human flesh
and to me you were an easy prey
My breath made you panic
and my voice created fear
And your screams, just made me smile

Treated as filth, drowned in pain
I'm left with an empty heart

Struggling for a life
struggling for a future
it was never clear
it was to be torn apart
her eyes won't shine anymore
all the joy is broken from the core

I felt so alone, so hurt
and I'll never forgive myself
Please give me a choice,
please give me hope to survive

Struggling for a life
struggling for a future
it was never clear
it was to be torn apart
her eyes won't shine anymore
all the joy is broken from the core

08. Traces Inside

You never told us where you were
you never said anything
I cried myself to sleep at night
did you even care for us?

You had a choice but let me down
Dissappointment, silent torment
I remember being pushed to the edge
and being torned apart

How could you do this to us?
How could you make us suffer?

And now...

I'm burning inside,
but I don't blame you for the pain
I am still bleeding, and I am shattered

Still you're the same, still it's you I should blame
Although you had your reasons, you never had to act like you did
Feeling sweat, feeling cold, I'm so left alone
Dissappointment, silent torment
the picture of you slowly fades to grey, I feel sick

How could you do this to us?
How could you make us suffer?

And now...

I'm burning inside,
but I don't blame you for the pain
I am still bleeding, and I am shattered

Seek the traces inside
Feel the traces inside
Love the traces inside
let them guide you out

How could you do this to us?
How could you make us suffer?

And now...

I'm burning inside,
but I don't blame you for the pain
I am still bleeding, and I am shattered

09. Reflections

If I could see it,
Would I believe it?
I had no chance
but let you fade away
If I was blinded
and absent minded
my eyes just saw reflections

I see you
All so clear

Should foreseen it
Should have believed it
Now you're gone and time can't heal
This pain I'm feeling
Wounds are bleeding
Everywhere I turn I see your face

10. The Purpose

Seeking my fate
seeking my one creation
The sole salvation
I must unite with my enemies
magnify the mission
realize whats to face

Why does it feel so wrong
this is my direction, I hope
and if you tell me the truth
tell me why won't I follow you?

All that I think is real,
I fight for it, lie for it
chained by my prophecy,
the purpose of finding me

My journey ends, I ask myself
is this my reincarnation?
My mistakes I neglect
and i'm forced to forget

Hurt by the ones who will set me free

All that I think is real,
I fight for it, lie for it
chained by my prophecy,
the purpose of finding me

Only I know my horizon
I may hold the secrets of life
Did god create me, or did I create god?

11. Trails Of Clarity

Fallen through a haze of unconsciousness
Sins undone, I'm forced to confess
I'm loosing control of this fatal dream

Streams of clarity far beyond
Minds untouched, now they're gone

It feels like the world is lost
Like paradise is out of reach
I'm travelling a road of sorrow
To me this is real

I'm draining the thoughts of an empty well
Fighting visions of a twisted self
Free fall towards the end

Streams of clarity far beyond
Minds untouched, now they're gone

It feels like the world is lost
Like paradise is out of reach
I'm travelling a road of sorrow
To me this is real

Am I lost
(I am falling towards the end)
In this world
