1. Red

My whole body hurts so bad
This is a fate I shouldn't have had
Growing to be dry bones and ashes
Bleeding red inside from rips and gashes

Red, too dim to see
Blood forever bleeds
Fire is burning me
Pain, make it leave

Red is the end blurring my sight
Red is the end after defeat in this fight
Red is the end at the warning alert
Red is the end coloring my earth

Sickening to see dreams die
All it takes is to realize
Stranded in a waterless sea
Just see the red image of mercy

Red, too dim to see
Blood forever bleeds
Fire is burning me
Pain, make it leave

Red is the end blurring my sight
Red is the end after defeat in this fight
Red is the end at the warning alert
Red is the end coloring my earth

I am now in this world to stay
To chase my demons away

Red, too dim to see
Blood forever bleeds
Fire is burning me
Pain, make it leave

Red is the end blurring my sight
Red is the end after defeat in this fight
Red is the end at the warning alert
Red is the end coloring my earth

Demonic creatures hide in my mind
A morbid truth one cannot hide
I'm not ready to go
Never take me away from home

2. Labyrinth

Looking around but I cannot find
What I'm looking for I am not sure
I want to get the fuck out of this place
Blocked by walls in front of my face

Where am I? Am I far from where I was?
I am already far and lost
Search for humanity, totally detached
Callously left to persist and last

Walking around, I can only see walls
Trapped inside long dark vicious halls
Help me! Why can't anyone hear me?
Am I the only one hearing these calls?

I was here already before
I'll go back but I won't find the door
All from here is gone but me
No release from this never-ending labyrinth

I walk in my own footprints
I feel the cold winds, they blow in my face
Ensuring me, I walk towards the dead
But I'm lost, where am I to head?

Lead me to the exit door
I hear my steps on the cold empty floor
I am dying, I want to get out
It's so silent, scares me to the core

Walking around, I can only see walls
Trapped inside long dark vicious halls
Help me! Why can't anyone hear me?
Am I the only one hearing these calls?

I was here already before
I'll go back but I won't find the door
All from here is gone but me
No release from this never-ending labyrinth

No one from outside will come
I know, because you're all gone
If you would be here you would have shown
That earth is not as cold as stone

I know you think I'm lost forever
You're wrong, I'm stronger than ever
Spit before me and laugh with pride
I'm am stone cold and will forever stride

Walking around, I can only see walls
Trapped inside long dark vicious halls
Help me! Why can't anyone hear me
Am I the only one hearing these calls?

I was here already before
I'll go back but I won't find the door
All from here is gone but me
Who will now set me free?

3. The Creature

Whispers fade in the dreams, even fantasy
Can't deny the pure reality
Disliked the day and was always mad
Filled with anger, laughed at the sad

Slept long to await the night
The time when it didn't have to fight
Filled with hatred on its greatest height
Always knew when the time was right

I ask myself: is that me?
Is this what I am supposed to be?
There's a sign on my neck, a number blackened
I'm a creature in this land of fright
Who in this time gave me this role to act?
So corrupt, and thought it was right?

Left alone to await the pain
Apprehensive, fell down in dismay
Never cried, stood there and smiled
For it was pure and never insecure

Locked in a cage and poked with a stick
It was enraged until it got sick
Started to move away from the pain
Like a beaten animal locked with a chain

I ask myself: is that me?
Is this what I am supposed to be?
There's a sign on my neck, a number blackened
I'm a creature in this land of fright
Who in this time gave me this role to act?
So corrupt, and thought it was right?

Wondering; is someone still out there
Someone having blood in his heart left?
Asked; will you give some blood to mine?
It's so cold; it's empty to the core

If pity was out there and someone still was smart
Only gave a little to this drained heart
Give the creature back a dead organ
See it's me, and see what I've become

I ask myself: is that me?
Is this what I am supposed to be?
There's a sign on my neck, a number blackened
I'm a creature in this land of fright
Who in this time gave me this role to act?
So corrupt, and thought it was right?

4. Wasteland

All covered in a sandy desert haze
The fallout turned it all into a blaze
Left alone in this land of nothingness
Always facing the common weakness

Clad in leather to roam the land
Breathing for survival while crawling in the sand
Only living for my own self
The biggest mistake is to trust someone else

A silent whisper recalling a memory
Remembering something that once was my family
The world before is past and gone
Life in wasteland just begun

My name they call, Mad is the given one
Shouldn't have survived was supposed to die
Alone there, all close are out of sight
All I have now is my dismal life

In front of me there's nothing but dust
Far has past the will for life and lust
All who cared are far away
The last memories of pre war are to fade

Kill all that lives in self defense
All that is left is to scavenge and cleanse
Find another town to watch and explore
Find yet others who cry and mourn

No fear left only hate
Is this my final fate?

A silent whisper recalling a memory
Remembering something that once was my family
The world before is past and gone
Life in wasteland just begun

My name they call, Mad is the given one
Shouldn't have survived was supposed to die
Die, die, die

5. Possession

When my soul was filling with warmth again
The spark in my eyes resurrecting from the pain
But you took it all into your possession
I believed you but you betrayed me

I did believe your words
Didn't care for the things I heard
Never to become a possession
Kill me instead in frenzied obsession

You thought you had control
Possessing all as your own
A disappointment to my eyes
A failure in disguise

You crossed the flaming line; you took away what's mine
You took that part of my heart with you
You wanted to have there me as your own
But left me dead to remain alone

I did believe your words
Didn't care for the things I heard
Never to become a possession
Kill me instead in frenzied obsession

You thought you had control
Possessing all as your own
A disappointment to my eyes
A failure in disguise

My eyes now full of hate, making you desperate
You try to escape from your fucking reality
Until you understand, I won't leave you be
I will make you know, you will never possess me

I did believe your words
Didn't care for the things I heard
Never to become a possession
Kill me instead in frenzied obsession

You thought you had control
Possessing all as your own
A disappointment to my eyes
A failure in disguise

6. Killing Perseverance

As I drift through the hallways of darkness
I'm being chased by the suffering fathomless
The path is dark, creatures reeking of decay
Can't say what hurts but to keep them away

Towards the darkness
I am drawing near
Sounds of haunted chants
Killing perseverance

Surrounded by the haunted
Drifting in the darkness
Feeling constant terror
Mind heavy with horror

I can't get out, I'm caught here forever
Dying again in a permanent cycle
This is my life to be eternal
This is my own hellish inferno

Towards the darkness
I am drawing near
Sounds of haunted chants
Killing perseverance

Surrounded by the haunted
Drifting in the darkness
Feeling constant terror
Mind heavy with horror

Incessant circle, nowhere to find an end
I died there a little more once again
Nevermore will I remain in peace to rest
I will die more in the next coming test

7. Desperate Secrecy

Alone in the far corner of a world of dreams
I listen to the plaintive whisper of sweet memories
They're clipped with time, a sedate, soothing rhyme
Slowly cries the litany of mine

Over this landscape of loose translation
My trembling gathers a tacit rejection
In seclusion I dwell in deep desolation
In desperate secrecy, my pain
I live to steal the night again

The day has come too soon
Sobbing, the stranger's clutch is due
So little time to learn so much
No other night could bring such a passionate touch

Over this landscape of loose translation
My trembling gathers a tacit rejection
In seclusion I dwell in deep desolation
In desperate secrecy, my pain
I live to steal the night again

Finally all the destructive words were said
Nothing left only to keep what is sacred
The memories kept again for all remaining time
But now, there's a future in this fucking crime

Over this landscape of loose translation
My trembling gathers a tacit rejection
In seclusion I dwell in deep desolation
In desperate secrecy, my pain
I live to steal the night again

8. Inside

Waking up, was that a dream?
A living nightmare's all I see
The strongest one of them all
Laying there, pushed to fall

I collect my final strength
It's not enough, there's so much left
I want to give it away
To make the past stay

I see it right before me
There, open, standing with pride
Like a red healthy looking apple
Beautiful but rotten inside

Lost in damned metastasis
Should have been anything but this
My tears will no more help
All that's left is to fight death

I so desperately want to give
Back the strength to make you live
Gone, is no word for me
Stay, is the one I accept to see

Why did it choose this way
Please don't leave, just stay
If you are taken away
My roots are cut from me

I see it right before me
There, open, standing with pride
Like a red healthy looking apple
Beautiful but rotten inside

Lost in damned metastasis
Should have been anything but this
My tears will no more help
All that's left is to fight death

This vicious silent killer
Wants to block every way of return
Eating inside, slowly by time
You have to be saved now

I see you smile once again
I know, you know it's not a game
It's all there in your mind
You have to leave it all behind

Inside me forever lay
My memories, my hope will stay
I want you to pull it through
Fight, kill, recover, prove

I see it right before me
There, open, standing with pride
Like a red healthy looking apple
Beautiful but rotten inside

Lost in damned metastasis
Should have been anything but this
My tears will no more help
I don't want you to go
