Night falls
I'm counting my wounds again
You pushed me
teared another scar in my soul
Tomorrow, what a good day to be alive
as the pain confirms
The road is hard, there's no shortcut
to success
The threat we face, to be in this place
dreads you
Today, what a good day not to die
after all
We take damage, mostly to our pride
We inflict damage, because our pride
We hurt others on the way to the top
We get hurt reaching for the top

Wasted Years
06:04
|

Another day goes by
Your roll the dice
What will become
You'll never know
You take a step
and you might fall
you may rise
and live after all
Here we are again and again
defining the insanity
we couldn't change the history
all we have is a mystery
Here we go again and again
we found no clarity
if we don't learn to change
in the end what's left is wasted years
What is said or left undone
What is done yet never referred
What is seen and not unseen
What is gone is a moment in time
What will be in the hands of time
What we'll see in our time
Why we stall and hesitate
Why we waste our precious time
Another night falls
Another duty calls
What will you do
if they're coming for you?
You may try to run
But you can never hide
You try to escape
But you will get caught
Destiny calls
written by your hands
They try to change you
and seal your fate
You do as you like
and pave your way
You don't care
to listen what they say

Ones With The Gift
04:30
|
|||
|
You think it's easy to be me
haven't you try to be me
You wouldn't have a chance
at the first glance
you would fail
Your gifts only brought you this far
don't waste what you got in this life
by boasting for all
you will fall behind
(if you don't train your mind)
When night falls
a party starts
yet others work
to make up the time
they didn't have
to even the odds
to stand a chance
When the night falls
they are afraid
of doing nothing
to do nothing
they will fail
at their own cost
by their own hands
Another night partying hard
working hard or hardly working at all
That life's not for all
many would fall
counting down
As years go by there's more things to do
it gets harder to keep up the game
You want something to blame (but)
hard work beats talent
(if talent doesn't work hard)

Mr. Solidarity
03:37

Mr. Solidarity, you missed our date
I'm here for you and you fade away
Wasn't I good enough for you?
Did you got better things to do?
Mr Solidarity, you accused me again
and you treat me like I'm the bad guy
Was this my fault again?
Or did you just tell me so?
I'm waiting for you in this cold dark place
It's not that I haven't other stuff to dot but I want to see your face
You want me to be there for you
and when I need you, you turn me down
I want to believe you when you say you're sorry
You just turn your head, smile at me and say "Don't worry,
next time I'll see you and be there for you"
My fears won't shelter me from the future

Blood Bonds
04:13
|
|||
|
You cast your eyes on me - your kin
you think you know me - like you
the old days are gone - forever
you didn't spend the time - to learn
how should I have learned - what you wanted
there's not much to be done - no more
Houses of cards are coming down
Digging the graves of the old memories
If blood is thicker than water to you
why I only sink faster to
the bleeding tears of the past?
Why do you crave for my love - my understanding
We had our chance not to fight - with words
Now that the sands run lower - we see
What's hidden before our eyes - in time
Powerless we cry in pain - in vain
The time will break the bonds - of our world
It's always easier to say - than act
I guess you knew it too - I felt for you
Regrets won't fade away - they grow deep
All the time, inside - we knew
What we had, how we feel - right?
Never the less it's late - too late?

Wishing Well
06:19
|
|||
|
You turned your back on me many years ago
you only show your face when it suits you
Words of advice
sharp as knives
What will suffice?
if I may serve
I've had enough of your selfish ways
how long I've seen this show I'm counting the days
Words of plea
cry of bitterness
will I flee?
will I give in?
Why I'm your wishing well?
A secret you'll never tell
You only turn to me
when you need something from me
Can't you see what you've done?
You don't care how I feel?
you don't change and you never will?
you just call your wishing well?
One could ask you what the hell?
What lies are your trying to sell?
I know you need me
or you wouldn't come looking for me
Can't you really hear yourself?
Don't you care to listen to?
you don't know me and you never will
you make my life a living hell
I've heard this story many times before
still I don't know what makes me reach the door
I'm not trying to be better than you
You try either too hard or not enough
You only remember me when you need my help
I don't want friends that are not around tomorrow
Years have passed in exile from the world
I know that you know I just like to be left alone

The War Within
06:01
|
|||
|
Who's talking to me?
I wish I could gather my thoughts
Sometimes I think it's too loud
I miss the silence of my thoughts
Sometimes I think it's too loud
Don't you miss the silence in the crowd?
In here it's too loud
Can't decide what's right or wrong
Everything I do is wrong to you
The doubt we have
The fear we hate
The hate we create
are consuming us all
Sometimes I wanna pass the time
I haven't got all the time in the world
to wait for a world to end
I don't want to waste my time
to wait for a world to end
Don't waste my time
I'm here alone now
Can't decide what's right or wrong
Everything I do is wrong to you
The doubt we have
The fear we hate
The hate we create
are consuming us all
The War Within
Sometimes I'm just clueless
Sometimes I don't now what to do
Despite everyone tells me to
Sometimes I don't now what to do
And then no one tells me to
Voices of doubt are talking to me
I second guess my self
Can't decide what's right or wrong
Everything I do is wrong to you
The doubt we have
The fear we hate
The hate we create
are consuming us all

The Cursed One
04:45
|
|||
|
Dark clouds are shadowing you
like a life running away from you
You think you make your way
but your picture starts to turn grey
You paint brand new lies
to cover your true face
The secrets you will never tell
if revealed you'd burn in hell?
Do you feel like the cursed one
So many things you have done
It doesn't matter what you do
They'll always be blaming you
At least that's how you feel
In their eyes, you never will appeal
Outcast, alone like a cursed one
In their eyes you are gone, (cursed one)
Time goes by before your eyes
fear won't absolve your life
It grows like your collection
of the art covering your walls
You buy anything you like
but you can't win this fight
Certain things aren't for auction
You can't buy back your freedom
You close your eyes
wish everything to be fine
Your picture grows old
the days turn to cold
You cast your own curse
making your own life worse
oh, can't you see
this is the life you live

Once upon a time there was this young person
Fallen from grace, beaten by hand of fate
A friendly soul in the right place at the wrong time
They gazed upon them with eyes full of hate
They do it for fun it's just a game
to play the part in their life
before the last candle burns out
consumed by the shadows darker than the night
I feel pain
I am hurting
They feed the flames
Ready to engage
I am consumed
Forgiveness gone
My heart is poured empty
It's eating me alive
What separates the hunter from the pray?
What overcomes the lust for revenge?
What will silence the voice of hate?
What would divert the hand of fate?
How could they ever forget the pain?
Why would they ever forget the crimes?
What would ever make things right
lost forever in the sands of time
Agony is the price we have to pay
as we pave the way in the play
Who writes rhymes of the pain
and the joy or is it just all in vain?
There were the good times
and then there were the bad times
It's our choice to decide
what will remain in our memories

The Plague
06:03
|
|||
|
Signs of the apocalypse
Visions of the end
Life today feels so cursed
Into darkness we descend
Watching the flow
of sands of time
before they bury us all
(We) fight to win
this plague, we're all in
Torn apart by forces afar
and it feels like there's nothing to do
If we fight together
why it feels like we're alone
Take a look at this chaos ridden land
rich and poor are all the same
in the grand scheme of things
Will the people ever learn
to hold on to what matters the most?
Spreading like a wildfire
Carried like a swarm
We thought we knew the cause
but our actions do only harm
Stand up for human rights
give your helping hand
Unite, it's not too late
Destruction, terror, hunger, and need
are haunting now our cities indeed
Conspiration? Statistical fail?
Is society going off rail?
Are these shadows of the war within
or just the wages of sin?
Desolation, gossiping lure
Will time be the only cure?
Centuries we blamed the beast
However, we tried to think at least
In the end we were all wrong
the reason was within us all along
Past civilisations
why would they fall?
Will this happen to us all?
Devastation, termination of social life
Isolation, self vacation may save people
Though no work nor play will make the people insane
But storm like any other this too will pass
