1. The Beast Within
Did I care well of my soul
In my empty hours?
Did I really do my best
To spread the world divine?
I have reached a crossroad
I've tasted the sin of man
And I have a question now
Who's the master I am serving?
Knelt down, hands joined
Staring at the top of the cross
I let you down – hope is lost
Don't want glory anymore
What could I give more?
I torn your grace apart...
I met, at the crossroad
The enemy within
Then he marked my heart and faith
With his burning tongue of fire
Knelt down, hands joined
Staring at the top of the cross
I let you down – hope is lost
Don't want glory anymore
What could I give more?
I torn your grace apart...
Deep in my heart, there's a place
No one knew about
In which faith and devotion
We're burning to the point
Love was consumed... love was consumed
I had come to hate those sinners
And the twisted face behind them
I had awakened the beast
The beast within
Knelt down, hands joined
Staring at the top of the cross
I let you down – hope is lost
Don't want glory anymore
What could I give more?
I torn your grace apart...
2. Another You
You and I use to be like brothers
Two fools sharing the same anger
No need to talk to understand each other
But friendship couldn't restrain any longer
Wishing I were someone special
Try again to make me grow up
You were my Abel, I was your Cain
Looking for my own identity
Who else could you be... but another me?
Wishing I were you?
Let me see
Please help me
Wanna pull myself up!
You made me feel that things were worth fighting for
I was yearning for the passion and experience
Yeah, you gave me all, all that you had
But I could never pay you back
As you trusted, I betrayed you
It was the best that I could do
When you held your hand out to me
To make me feel stronger
I would only turn into a stranger
Let me be... another you
Let me see
Please help me
Wanna pull myself up!
You made me feel that things were worth fighting for
I was yearning for the passion and experience
Ooh, we used to be like brothers
Two fools sharing the same anger
No need to talk to understand each other
Friendship couldn't restrain... no!
3. When The Morning Comes
No question will remain unanswered
When I'm gone
There is nothing I should fear
(Nothing I should fear)
I've been trying hard, fightin' my way
Back for so long
Shadows of the past sorrows are
Now forever gone
Finally I've reached ashore
I'm tired of denying my fate
Now I'm at peace with myself
No grudge for anyone
There's no more reason for hatred
No more, no more...
I know for sure
Days follow the nights
From death we'll be brought back to life
Life is more than breathing in and out
Carrying away is part of the art
My cards have already been laid on the table
Now I know my time has come
I'll die when the morning comes
Now I'm at peace with myself
No grudge for anyone
There's no more reason for hatred
No more, no more...
I know for sure
Days follow the nights
From death we'll be brought back to life
Life is more than breathing in and out
Carrying away is part of the art
Down to the river I go, down below
To the river of lost souls this is my shelter my home
Down to the river I go, down below
Where the grass has never grown
Please hear these last words
Please hear an old man's last words
I'll leave at all behind me! (hatred, receinment, deceit)
Let me share my last words
With the rest of you folks
Please hear my last words
Remember, remember as I will be gone
Hope will live on
I know for sure
Days follow the nights
From death we'll be brought back to life
Life is more than breathing in and out
Carrying away is part of the art
4. Enter The Carnival
As I was on my way
Things were turning into grey
Clouds slowly filling up the skies
For me the light was gone
And the curtain was torn
Unveiling the worldwide festival
Born in these times of confusion
I wonder: is there still a truth I could fight for?
No future anymore
History has ended
Enter the carnival
Come, dance in our party world
Then you will find tragedy exiled at last
Things have changed now...
Look the herd, they wish the best
No more wars and anger!
Look those smiles, void made flesh
I'm a wolf among the lambs
Born in these times of confusion
I know them, their peace is another trap
No future anymore
Tragedy's still on the prowl
But they are blind
Born in these times of confusion
I will find a bad cause I could proudly die for
Die!
No future anymore
Dance on ashes and dust
And don't forget there is no escape to the evil ones
5. Restless Show
Every night feels like there's a desert
In my heart and in my soul
I am lost when someone finds me
I think of me and my space
Only when I see you I breathe
I don't believe anymore
That love is to want someone
I fear if I had you, I would break your heart
I see her smile and wonder if I can
Enter the world one sunny day
If she'd only help me loving me
Giving me what I always refuse
But I know it's only dreaming
I can't take her life in my hand
Right now I'm the one who knows about us
Let me show you the way I feel
Now I've got time for the restless show
Don't tell me reason for I should
Don't wanna her 'bout one more goodbye
We'll meet in the middle of eternity
It's easier loving you not having you
But now this is getting hard
I wish you were here... in my arms
While I go on with my restless show
I see her smile and wonder if I can
Enter the world one sunny day
If she'd only help me loving me
Giving me what I always refuse
But I know it's only dreaming
I can't take her life in my hand
Right now I'm the one who knows about us
Let me show you the way I feel
Now I've got time for the restless show
Don't tell me reason for I should
Don't wanna her 'bout one more goodbye
We'll meet in the middle of eternity
Restless show
Restless show
No more goodbyes
6. Everlasting Farewells
Fly around me, sweet memory
Are you trying to haunt me all night long?
My blood is cold but tears won't roll
I am without you how can anything be real?
You're lying cold and dead
Unlike this endless pain
Which burns deep within
Cause I've seen you down there
Take a look at me now
I'm just a shadow half-alive
Looking for an answer I'll never find...
In this world... now you're gone
I hear your voice down through the rain
And I've been looking for your face
It's all in vain (I pray the lord)
I pray the lord so that he takes my life
And would bring you back to life!
'cause this pain keeps driving me insane
Now you're lying cold and dead
Unlike this endless pain
Which burns deep within me
Cause I've seen you down there
Take a look at me now
I'm just a shadow half-alive
Looking for an answer
I will never find in this world
Oh, your absence is tearing me apart
I hear those footsteps in my head all day
And people say to me that time keeps passing by
But winter cold freezes my heart
So long
I've been waiting for so long
I've been graving to see you
In this world, close to me
I feel alone
Can you hear me?
Come back to me
Can you help me
Feel alive?
Now you're lying cold and dead
Unlike this endless pain
Which burns deep within me
Cause I've seen you down there
Take a look at me now
I'm just a shadow half-alive
Looking for an answer
I will never find in this world
(Can you hear me?
Come back to me
Can you help me
Feel alive?
Feel me again
We'll break our chains
Flee painful lanes)
It's tearing me apart
Can't remember who I am
I failed: I swore I'd never leave you!
I just can't say farewell
Farewell
7. The Grand Illusion
Like a curse
It took me by surprise
It seemed the veil had been torn
Burnt aflame!
Reality appeared as it actually is
What a torture room for me
For me... what a torture...
I need some silence
I need to leave the world behind
Just hear the silence
This world drives me mad!
It's a dream – illusion
We're still here watching you
Close your eyes and windows
Anyway we're there
In my shelter, life's under control
Frozen picture of the sparkle of existence
I need some silence
I need to leave the world behind
Just hear the silence
It drove me insane
Shadows dance, the reverie covers the world
Let my mind build up the perfect illusion
As the world still turning everyday gets my dream closer
Until the day Grand Illsuion comes true
Now I've reached the breaking point
Where everything collapses
So clear – I never had control!
Shadows dance, the reverie covers the world
Let my mind build up the perfect illusion
As the world still turning everyday gets my dream closer
Until the day Grand Illsuion comes true
8. Through Painful Lanes
Here I'm standing tall
Staring the void of a pure horizon
Trying to bring back to life
Some small fragments of time coming from the past
Awake in the blessed hour
When nocturnal bells clast together
Their toll, in the silence, seems to dig cosmic tombs
Through painful lines I wonder
Through blaze of anger I'm growing
I've seen – the kingdom was burnt and the empire's fallen
I've seen satan dancing with the mask of god
The pure angels smile at the hangman's scaffold
Now the end is near...
Where's my home?
I'm alone in a world sized desert
Where's my home?
Every step in this life seems to lead to darkness
Am I able to guess the true
Meaning of it all?
Am able to live
After all the tears I cried?
I've seen – the kingdom was burnt and the empire's fallen
I've seen satan dancing with the mask of god
The pure angels smile at the hangman's scaffold
Now the end is near...
Still the blade's stained with innocent blood...
Oh Lord please, tell me about the final aim
Hear my cries, could I have the force to tell
And testify to the growing terror
Of this overwhelming void?
Am I able to guess the true
Meaning of it all?
9. Eagle Fly Free
оригинал: Helloween
People are in big confusion
they don't like their constitutions
Everyday they draw conclusions
And they're still prepared for war
Some can say what's ineffective
Some make up themselves attractive
Build up things they call protective
Well your life seems quite bizarre
In the sky a mighty eagle
Doesn't care 'bout what's illegal
On its wings the rainbow's light
It's flying to eternity
Eagle fly free
Let people see
Just make it your own way
Leave time behind
Follow the sign
Together we'll fly someday
Hey, we think so supersonic
And we make our bombs atomic
Or the better quite neutronic
But the poor don't see a dime
Nowadays the air's polluted
Ancient people persecuted
That's what mankind contributed
To create a better time
In the sky a mighty eagle
Doesn't care 'bout what's illegal
On its wings the rainbow's light
It's flying to eternity
Eagle fly free
Let people see
Just make it your own way
Leave time behind
Follow the sign
Together we'll fly someday
