No One Stands In My Way
I used to live my life like a party
Day do day, night to night, I was flying
Striving hard to keep it in, to deny it
I didn't see how deep the flood was around me

I let you in, from within, you consumed me
Twisted my dreams and set my memories on fire
Killed them all, threw them all to the pyre
Ravenous wraith, not a saint but a vampire

You are - Amorous and so amoral
You are - You're my deception and my downfall

Thrown. On the floor. Like a whore
Was that all I was good for?
Though you used me, and abused me
Broke me down, know I will be rising
Thrown. On the floor. But no more
Will I cry or crawl
My heart, my soul full of hunger and hate
You're my demon to slay
No one stands in my way

Beat me up, drag me down, try to break me
I'm not afraid so bring it on, I will face it
A wounded heart, a hollow soul now awakening
Feeling invincible, see that's what you've made me

You are - The darkest shadow upon my sun
You are - My self-destruction when darkness falls

Thrown. On the floor. Like a whore
Was that all I was good for?
Though you used me, and abused me
Broke me down, know I will be rising
Thrown. On the floor. But no more
Will I cry or crawl
My heart, my soul full of hunger and hate
You're my demon to slay
No one stands in my way

And I know
We have to run before we're at the break of dawn

No one can win this war
Wisest to close that door
To erase what we've adored
The memories and the dreams we have lived for

It's the time to kill this fear
We're both degenerating year by year
I thought it would be always clear
Until the end we both had sworn to be sincere

Crossed the line too many times, our world is upside down
Can't go on, it's the time to turn around

And I know
We have to let it go
Escape before we lie on ocean floor
When all the hope is gone
We have to run before we're at the break of dawn

No one turned the hourglass
Forget and leave the past behind
And I will always ask
Why anything that's beautiful can't last

It's the time to make it right
Turn back and walk towards the light
The dark can be turned bright
We'll end this twisted fairytale tonight

Close your eyes for just one time and lose your paradise
All we had is gone, it must be sacrificed

And I know
We have to let it go
Escape before we lie on ocean floor
When all the hope is gone
We have to run before we're at the break of dawn

Shining through the night
Your fire burns bright
Your dreams brought to life
Through the ashes you'll rise up to the sky

Red day arrives
From the shadows of the twilight
Ready to fight
Our spirit comes alive

The morning shines
Tomorrow beyond the skyline
The everlasting dream we've waited for so long

The stars aligned - Our hearts on fire
And now it's time - To fight the darkness

Shine through the night
Show the way towards the light
Through the darkest hours of our lifetime
Rise into the light
From the ashes up to the sky
With your wings spread out we fly
A revolution will arise

Deceit and lies
The betrayal lives inside us
This world was doomed to die
But we found the cure, we saved her life

The skies alight
Your flame burns brighter
It's our sunrise
No darkness, now we're free

Shine through the night
Show the way towards the light
Through the darkest hours of our lifetime
Rise into the light
From the ashes up to the sky
With your wings spread out we fly
A revolution will arise

Shining through the night
Your fire burns bright
Your dreams brought to life

So hard I tried
'Though I knew I stood already on thin ice

And now it's time
I swear, I promise I'll be telling no more lies
'Cause when you're staring in my hollow, lifeless eyes
I know they're telling you I'm running out of time

No time to waste
'Cause I'll be going
Down the river of my twilight years, while it's roaring
You'll find the way
I've always known it
Through the river of your falling tears, to the ocean

Tomorrow shines
The dark will fade and in its place the dawn will rise

The skies alight
I'm a lantern, shining through the dark of night

And while I know that I can't fight the rising tide
I promise I'll be always by your side

No time to waste
'Cause I'll be going
Down the river of my twilight years, while it's roaring
You'll find the way
I've always known it
Through the river of your falling tears, to the ocean

The silent calls
The weep of the world within the foaming waterfalls
Nothing heard inside these wealthy walls

The nations moan
Never-ending weary world wars raging on and on
And soon the world we loved is gone
We've made it our whore

We lie within the slowly worn, the last decaying walls
Blindfolded with the wealth we owe, can't see before they fall
When mother earth will take her toll inside our hearts we know
We should have realized so long ago
"What I have done is unforgivable"

The castles burned
There's nothing we have learned, our desolation earned
The beauty of our life can't be returned

And like before
Again we've sacrificed the pride before the throne
And soon there's nothing left to pay the toll

We're all responsible

We lie within the slowly worn, the last decaying walls
Blindfolded with the wealth we owe, can't see before they fall
When mother earth will take her toll inside our hearts we know
We should have realized so long ago
"What I have done is unforgivable"

And soon the world we loved is gone
We're all responsible

We lie within the slowly worn, the last decaying walls
Blindfolded with the wealth we owe, can't see before they fall
When mother earth will take her toll inside our hearts we know
We should have realized so long ago
"What I have done is unforgivable"

So cruel, so abhorrent
Savage and so inhuman
With my face pushed down into the sand
I believed your lies, ate from your hand

An atrocious masterplan
But now I see, I understand
I was a puppet in your hands
A marionette you bought only to trash

For the pain, everything I've been going through
Every brick, every rock you threw

Hate is fire, you're the fuel
You will feel everything I've been going through
Every brick, every rock you threw

Paved the road to hell for you
You will feel everything I've been going through
You shall kneel when life comes to punish you

Your empire doomed to fall
The despotic king dethroned
Your outrageous deeds unveiled, unmasked
Now prepare for the final fall, it's fast

Face to face with the demons from your past
You will pray for this day to be your last
You will fade to the dark and die alone
Blame yourself, the fault is yours alone

Feel the pain, everything I've been going through
When life comes to punish you

Hate is fire, you're the fuel
You will feel everything I've been going through
Every, brick every rock you threw

Paved the road to hell for you
You will feel everything I've been going through
You shall kneel when life comes to punish you

I used to dream, used to wish, used to wonder
I hoped for things that were not meant to be for me
The poetry lived in me but no longer
The painter died, the brush has broken and decayed
All colors faded away

The stories I wrote turned all into tragedies
No happy endings here

Tell me - Is this what you want from me
Tell me- Is this what I'm meant to be

Life is not beautiful
It is cold and lonely
Life is not beautiful
We all live and die alone
Hopeless, loveless we all fall down

I had a heart like a shrine, like a temple
But then they came, turned it into a house of trade
Stripped of my pride, here I lie, I surrender
Come gather 'round, see the flame burn out in my eyes

My failure is life-sized

For thirty pieces of silver is all we're worth
We live but never learn

Life is not beautiful
It is cold and lonely
Life is not beautiful
We all live and die alone
Hopeless, loveless we all fall down

So here I am standing now
My candle is burning out
The cracks on the ground, the sky is falling down
There is no way out

You already let me down
Betrayed me and took my crown
When everything ends, the pain will fade out

Life is not beautiful
It is cold and lonely
Life is not beautiful
We all live and die alone
Hopeless, loveless we all fall down

In the darkness, I am walking
Through the haze hopelessly roaming
My hands and feet are stained with blood and clay

Devastation now unfolding
Desolation slowly dawning
The chaos in my mind will never fade

And now I'm here
Building the pyre
And now I'm here
I still wonder why

I walk through the fire
I stand by the burned, collapsing walls
I hear the choir
The humming of angels, silent calls
What am I fighting for?
Why am I searching for new hope?
'Cause when the last one falls
None of it matters, if in the end we'll lose it all

Smoke and dust, slowly fading
Rising sun, new dawn breaking
But still the roses die and all I see is gray

Ruins of war, storm is raging
And when there's nothing left here worth saving
In the end the world is lost to falling rain

And now I see
How heaven is crying
And now I see
Nothing but lies

I walk through the fire
I stand by the burned, collapsing walls
I hear the choir
The humming of angels, silent calls
What am I fighting for?
Why am I searching for new hope?
'Cause when the last one falls
None of it matters, if in the end we'll lose it all

Winter night, hours of black and white
Haunted road with slowly fading footprints in
the snow

Fallen trees, as far as I can see
Dreadful destruction near complete
Will be soon forever sealed

Our world is the place it should not be
And I believe we have destroyed our dream

What have we done?
Now all we had is gone
We've lied, we've stayed alive
We have drowned, we've sold our pride
What have we done?
We've cried for thousand nights
When the last candle dies
We'll be waiting for sunrise
One last time

Pointless war, era of peace was torn
Like before, In the end there's no one on the throne

We let go, no one cared anymore
Then we forgot all we stood for
Set on fire our land adored

Is there a reason why we've fought?
And once more pride comes before the fall

After sinless blood's been sacrificed
The earth will be purified
Our appetite now satisfied
(but never justified)
Light up the last candle and let it burn bright

Be still my bleeding heart
For we have come so far
And life's about to change

While home it was so near
The road became our trail of tears
Where hope will die and fade away

Is there's anything that's permanent
Why everything that's beautiful must end

I'd give anything if everything come back again
But now I have to face reality and though
All the years and all the tears were worth the pain
I rule the ruins of what we had
For seven days heaven will cry your name

Once written in the stars
This tale was only ours but now
We've reached the End of our tragedy

A funeral of dreams
A future tearing at the seams
It's time to say our last goodbye

All therei's left to do is to take a bow
But when I leave I want my scars to show

All my life I have been a pariah, an outcast
Sailing on, crossing oceans while cursing the shore
Forsaken and ignored

The choices I made
The pride that I paid
All that I gave was all in vain

In silence I've suffered, awaiting the tide
I've waited so long but now it is time

Alive, I'll rise stronger than before
Through the wind and through the rain
I have found my way

Tonight the skies are darker than before
Come rain, come fear and pain
Now you are the ship lost at sea and I'm the storm

I've arrived like a tempest of hate, raging
You shall learn you will pay for for your sins and
you learn
All you live will burn

I am the wind, I am the rain
I am the anger, I'm the pain

Like ire of the oceans I reign over thee
My siren of vengeance show me the way
