01. Muddy Clepsidra

Music by Eugene Simone
Instrumental

02. Forbidden

Music by Eugene Simone
Lyrics by Terence Holler
She Will Try Again To Bring You Under This Ground
All The Words I Spend Fade Away With No Sound
You Have Lost Your Face You've Got No Ambitions
In Her Wicked Games You Became The Main Star

She Took Your Breath Away
Taking You Under
She Took Your Heart Away
Please Don't Believe Her Now

Forbidden Skies Surround You
Skies Are Turning Red
Forbidden Dreams Invade You
Dreams Will Turn You Dead

You Fell In Love Again And This Is Forbidden
She'll Tear Your Soul And Then Throw It In The Garbage
Try To Comprehend That You're Just "Another One"
Bring You Flowers When You'll Be Six Feet Under

She Took Your Breath Away
Taking You Under
She Took Your Heart Away
Please Don't Believe Her Now

Forbidden Skies Surround You
Skies Are Turning Red
Forbidden Dreams Invade You
Dreams Will Turn You Dead

Make Sure Now You're Recovering
Make Sure Now That She'll Get Away
Make Sure Now You're Recovering
Make Sure Now That She'll Get Away

Here She Comes Again With Her Cruel Intentions
All The Things I Said Plenty Words All Wasted
Don't Come Crying To Me Cause I'll Say "I Told Ya"
Don't Come Lying To Me Have A Nice Day Under

She Took Your Breath Away
Taking You Under
She Took Your Heart Away
Please Don't Believe Her Now

Forbidden Skies Surround You
Skies Are Turning Red
Forbidden Dreams Invade You
Dreams Will Turn You Dead
Forbidden Skies Surround You
Skies Are Turning Red
Forbidden Dreams Invade You
Dreams Will Turn You Dead

03. The World Apart

Music by Eugene Simone
Lyrics by Terence Holler
Getting Used To Running Against The Wind
Haven't Got The Spirit By My Side
Getting Used To Living Alone
Whom I'd Ever Share The Bone?

Now I Feel The World
I Feel The World
I Feel The World Apart
I Feel The World, I Feel The World
I Feel The World Apart

Strangled By The Rhythm Of These Days
Dodging Words That Would Cut Me Like A Knife
Getting Used To Making A Stand
Who's Gonna Ever Take My Hand?

Now I Feel The World
I Feel The World
I Feel The World Apart
I Feel The World, I Feel The World
I Feel The World Apart
I Feel The World, I Feel The World
I Feel The World Apart
I Feel The World, I Feel The World
I Feel The World Apart
I Feel The World. I Feel The World
I Feel The World Apart

Now I Feel The World
I Feel The World
I Feel The World Apart
I Feel The World, I Feel The World
I Feel The World Apart
I Feel The World, I Feel The World
I Feel The World Apart
I Feel The World, I Feel The World
I Feel The World Apart

04. This Everlasting Mind Disease

Music by Eugene Simone
Lyrics by Terence Holler
I've Been Too Silent,
Here Waiting For Something New
I've Changed My Way Of Living,
No More Giving, I Gave It All
I Kept My Faith And Dreaming,
No Complaining, Here I Am
So Many Colors Changing,
The Most Are Fading Into Grey

My Life's Like A Broken TV
Colors, Stripes And Nothing To See

This Everlasting Mind Disease
It Ain't No Good For Me
The Deepest Toil And Inner Pain
A Useless Agony

Now Times Are Changing,
Consuming A Reaction
Many Days Of Bleeding,
You Treated Me Like A Stepping Stone
Emptiness And Daydreaming
Still Believing In A Chance
Too Many Colors Changing,
Feeling Dizzy, I See Black

My Life's Like A Broken TV
Colors, Stripes And Nothing To See

This Everlasting Mind Disease
It Ain't No Good For Me
The Deepest Toil And Inner Pain
A Useless Agony
This Everlasting Mind Disease
It Ain't No Good For Me
The Deepest Toil And Inner Pain
A Useless Agony
Looking At My Mind

My Life's Like A Broken TV
Colors, Stripes And Nothing To See

This Everlasting Mind Disease
It Ain't No Good For Me
The Deepest Toil And Inner Pain
A Useless Agony
This Everlasting Mind Disease
It Ain't No Good For Me
The Deepest Toil And Inner Pain
A Useless Agony

05. Picture On The Wall

Music by Eugene Simone
Lyrics by Terence Holler
When I Turned My Eyes On
And You Weren't By My Side
Realized That You Passed To Another Life
Start To Set My Mind Up
But All I See Is Black
There's No Remedy All I Need Is Time
All I See Is A Picture On The Wall
All I See Is A Figure In My Soul...

06. Dice Rolling

Music by Eugene Simone
Lyrics by Terence Holler
How Can You Buy
All The Shit That He Is Selling You Now?
How Can You Take
All The Words When None Of Them Are True?

And When You Cry
No One Will Give You Consolation
And When You Pay
I'll Be There Saying: "I Told You"

You've Got To Pay Your Dues Now
You've Got To Face Your Future
You've Got To Pay Your Dues Now
You've Got To Face Your Future

It's Time To Stay
And Take It To The End Don't Fear
I'll Laugh, You'll Cry,
This Is The Way Things Go Now

You've Got To Pay Your Dues Now
You've Got To Face Your Future
You've Got To Pay Your Dues Now
You've Got To Face Your Future
You've Got To Pay Your Dues Now
You've Got To Face Your Future
You've Got To Pay Your Dues Now
You've Got To Face Your Future

How Could You Buy
All The Shit He Spread On Your Face Now?
How Could You Take
All Those Words When You Knew They Weren't True?

You've Got To Pay Your Dues Now
You've Got To Face Your Future
You've Got To Pay Your Dues Now
You've Got To Face Your Future
You've Got To Pay Your Dues Now
You've Got To Face Your Future
You've Got To Pay Your Dues Now
You've Got To Face Your Future

07. Drowning

Music by Eugene Simone
Lyrics by Terence Holler
God Will Hate Me Every Day
For What I'm Doing, For What I Say
Lived A Lifetime In The Mud
Like A Torture, Like A Flood

I'm Drowning Every Day
I Won't Let Go
I'm Drowning Every Night
I Won't Let Go
I Won't Let...

People Hate Me I Don't Care
Some Avoid Me, It's Not Fair
No Direction, Place To Go
Now I'm Losing My Self Control

I'm Drowning Every Day
I Won't Let Go
I'm Drowning Every Night
I Won't Let Go
I Won't Let... Go!

It's Finally Over I Close My Eyes
Close The Curtain No More Show Now
No More Breathing, No More Air
I'm Too Exhausted To Despair

I'm Drowning Every Day
I Won't Let Go
I'm Drowning Every Night
I Won't Let Go
I'm Drowning Every Day
I Won't Let Go
I'm Drowning Every Night
I Won't Let Go
I'm Drowning Every Day
(Won't Let Go, Won't Let Go)
I Won't Let Go
(Won't Let Go, Won't Let Go)
I'm Drowning Every Night
(Won't Let Go, Won't Let Go)
I Won't Let Go
(Won't Let Go, Won't Let Go)
I Won't Let Go

08. Blindfolded Walkthrough

Music by Eugene Simone
Lyrics by Terence Holler
There Ain't No Oxygen For Me
No More Left To Breathe
No Second Chances, Only Dreams
No Overtime To Play
Since That Day Has Come
There Is Something In My Body
That Is Growing Like A Fire Inside
Since That Day Has Come
There Is Something That's Stressing
My Resistance To Swim Against The Tide
Yeah, Yeah

Faithless,
The More Things Change, The More I'm Faithless
A Solution Needs To Be Found
A Solution For My Weakness, Yeah
A Blindfolded Walk On Through
Bridges Of Sand
A Spark In The Darkness Of This Wasteland...

Walking On Bridges Of Sand
Falling Into Nowhere
Walking On Bridges Of Sand
Falling Into Nowhere

Faithless
The More Things Change, The More I'm Faithless
A Solution Needs To Be Found
A Solution For My Weakness, Yeah
A Blindfolded Walk On Through
Bridges Of Sand
A Spark In The Darkness Of This Wasteland...

Walking On Bridges Of Sand
Falling Into Nowhere
Walking On Bridges Of Sand
Falling Into Nowhere

Closed My Eyes But You're Still Here
Wasted Time And Wasted Breath

Don't Wanna See You Down
Don't Wanna See You Down.
Don't Wanna See You Down
Don't Wanna See You Down
Don't Wanna See You Down
Don't Wanna See You Down
Don't Wanna See You Down

Someone Said I'm Wrong Again
All I Need Is To Rid This Filth

Don't Wanna See You Down
Don't Wanna See You Down
Don't Wanna See You Down
Don't Wanna See You Down
Don't Wanna See You Down
Don't Wanna See You Down
Don't Wanna See You Down
Don't Wanna See You Down

I've Tried So Hard To Erase Your Face From My Mind
I've Tried So Hard To Confine You Away From Me
Far Away, So Far Away
So Far...
Away...
Down

I Don't Want To See You Down
Down On Me, Don't Lean On Me

Don't Wanna See You Down
Don't Wanna See You Down
Don't Wanna See You Down

10. Slow Motion "K" Us

Music by Eugene Simone
Lyrics by Terence Holler
Fog In The Sky, Sand In The Eyes, An Evil Dance
Nowhere To Go, Nowhere To Flow, No Second Chance
People That Come, People That Go, No Permanence
Numerous Times, We Need To Try, Perseverance

I Won't Survive Another Day, I Won't Survive Another
Don't Wanna Waste Another Day, Don't Wanna Waste Another
I Won't Survive Another Day, I Won't Survive Another
We Should Try To Change The Rhythm Need To Calm It Down

Wicked Desire, Sex In Our Minds, Horniness
Walking Too Fast, Eating Too Fast, Dying Young
"Big Men" Pollute, "Big Men" Corrupt, Bringing Death
Children That Cry, Children That Shoot, What Is This?

I Won't Survive Another Day, I Won't Survive Another
Don't Wanna Waste Another Day, Don't Wanna Waste Another
I Won't Survive Another Day, I Won't Survive Another
We Should Try To Change The Rhythm Need To Calm It Down

Slow Rhythm Hold Your Horses
Slow Rhythm Give A Chance To Your Breath
Slow Rhythm Hold Your Horses
Slow Rhythm Give A Chance To Your Breath

The Tic-Tac Is Melting Away
No More Rushing
There Ain't No Time Left To Pray
No Forgiving

I Won't Survive Another Day, I Won't Survive Another
Don't Wanna Waste Another Day, Don't Wanna Waste Another
I Won't Survive Another Day, I Won't Survive Another
We Should Try To Change The Rhythm Need To Calm It Down

Slow Rhythm Hold Your Horses
Slow Rhythm Give A Chance To Your Breath
Slow Rhythm Hold Your Horses
Slow Rhythm Give A Chance To Your Breath

11. Lonesome Existence

Music by Eugene Simone
Lyrics by Terence Holler
Like A Swim Through Troubled Waters
Like A Picnic In The Dark
Like A Half Step Away From The Border
Like A Rose Without A Thorn
When I Feel She's Getting Closer
Something Wicked Falls Straight On My Head

Dancing All The Night Alone
Dancing All Alone
Dancing 'Til The Break Of Dawn
Dancing All Alone
Erase My Sins And Lay Your Hands On Me...

Never Had The Face To Call Her
Never Found The Reason To
Never Meant To Hit Her Harder
I Doubt I Ever Wanted To
But When I Felt She's Getting Closer
Something Crooked Fell Right On My Head

Dancing All The Night Alone
Dancing All Alone
Dancing 'Til The Break Of Dawn
Dancing All Alone
Erase My Sins And Lay Your Hands On Me

Dancing All The Night Alone
Dancing All Alone
Dancing 'Til The Break Of Dawn
Dancing All Alone
Erase My Sins And Lay Your Hands On Me
Dancing All The Night Alone
Dancing All Alone
Dancing 'Til The Break Of Dawn
Dancing All Alone
Erase My Sins And Lay Your Hands On Me

12. Shallow Waters

Music by Eugene Simone
Lyrics by Terence Holler
You Lost Control, You Lost Your Faith
You Need To Be Suppressed In Time
The Way You Live, The Way You Talk
The Hearts You Broke, The Words You Spoke

Don't Follow, Don't Follow
Don't Follow, Don't Follow

Your Dangerous Ways, Tore Me Again
This Strength-less Heart Is Petrifying
Your Dangerous Ways, Tore Me Again
This Strength-less Heart Is Petrifying

You're Sinking, You're Drowning Again
In Shallow Waters
You're Sinking, You're Drowning Again
In Shallow Waters
You're Sinking, You're Drowning Again
In Shallow Waters
You're Sinking, You're Drowning Again
In Shallow Waters

Your Dangerous Ways, Tore Me Again
This Strength-less Heart Is Petrifying
Your Dangerous Ways, Tore Me Again
This Strength-less Heart Is Petrifying

You're Sinking, You're Drowning Again
In Shallow Waters
You're Sinking, You're Drowning Again
In Shallow Waters
You're Sinking, You're Drowning Again
In Shallow Waters
You're Sinking, You're Drowning Again
In Shallow Waters

13. Quiet Hope

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
Legends To Relieve Poverty And Pain Are Lost In Time
Evil Will Quit The Fight
So Many Men Believe Living On Earth Is The Price
Of A Never Fading Light

We're Inclined To The Divine
Humans Believe But Don't Want To Die
Ingenious Minds Captured By
Rites Of Amazing Emptiness

Suffering Is Rewarded Prostration Appreciated
Justice, Love And Peace Guarantees
Adding Some More Prayers For What Is Done
Devotion's Never Enough
When The Time Has Come Life's Begun

We're Inclined To The Divine
Humans Believe But Don't Want To Die
Ingenious Minds Captured By
Rites Of Amazing Emptiness

Huge Deception
By Cults And Churches
Growing Wealthy

We're Inclined To The Divine
Humans Believe But Don't Want To Die
Ingenious Minds Captured By
Rites Of Amazing Emptiness

Feelings Of Love And Respect
You Can Never Learn
If Not Spontaneously Felt
