1. Fight Fear With Fire

spreading your wisdom
behind the hood that's blinding you
i never understood your "freedom",
your everlasting truth

and with that almighty gaze
you're keeping all of us safe

cease the lives of those who make you fear
silent the screams you don't want to hear
there's always someone to take the blame
your soldiers keepin' you in the game

so many hands
to secure your eyesight
keepin' your look
straight ahead

you'll never ever have to see
all the trash you leave behind
you'll never ever have to be
responsible for your lies

2. Rush Of Life

laughing as you try to save me from fallin'
don't waste your breath, i'm already crawling

my master and savior has promised me freedom
as long as i don't question these methods he's keen on

this is the time you choose
the side you're on, win or lose

rush of life
the minute i let go
injected by fear, refusing to say no
rush of life
the minute i'm going down

searching for meaning, now seems so futile
i am still locked inside my own mind

this is the time you choose

rush of life
the minute i let go
injected by fear, refusing to say no
rush of life
the minute i'm fallin'
the prize is mine
as long as i stay alive

3. Hollow

right now i'm reaching
the point of no return
i'm entering the emptiness
redeeming myself
from everything i feel

far too long
i've watched this show
where everything is nothing

i'm hollow
there's just the fear
when the eyes are drawing near
i'm hollow
deep in the core
not even a shadow
to live for

gazing the mirror
i see a halfmoon backwards
and i'm inside out
the fear is growing
i'm feelin' all so clear
the emptiness is filling me

i cannot cry
i cannot laugh
just this emptiness in me

4. Man Who Was Me

before it was all so clear
i knew where to lay my head
now the crystal has turned to a mirror,
showing me the false
of the past

reflecting
how it was so easy
to betray myself
i was faking
the things i ever dreamed of
could've been
my own

this is my world
the walls aren't closing in,
they're out of sight
this is my world
where the dreams are not to come true,
they're to burn me

yesterday
it was crystal clear
now the mirror's
chosen the way of pain

it's showing pictures
of a man who was me
now just the shattered pieces of a restless soul

5. Dream Of Crown

i go to sleep
with you by my side
it's someone else
with who you wake up

i was there
when livin' meant together

when i look back
at all of my traces
i'm searching your eyes
among all the faces

and you're not there
not one of those
who made me be

to find life again, could there be a way
in my eyes, it seems to fade away
when the ties were gone, can you name the day
when the lies came in, left nothin' to say

when did it all turn around
when did i start losin' ground
when did i turn upside down
and forgot the dream of crown

when did we turn
the way we always feared
i can but burn
the way i always knew

6. Failed One

Chained spirit in the shadows,
fettered by shame.
Incarcerated by the only one
who knows his real name.

Give the ravens a treat
and let it be
naught but the bones
escape scot-free
Deny the growth of your own seed.
The thrill of flying was better than in my dreams
Now but the pain in my fractured wings.

Enter the real world, weak one
You are to rot till your kingdom come.

Let the dirt wash away
There's no one for you to stay
Stream can take it all away
Take it away
Let the filth wash away
You can't live with all this shame
Avert your eyes and walk away
Walk away

Your bloodstained hands can be washed
Your own blood that it is
With oblivion comes relief.

Leave the failed one in the shades
Fragile shell turns to dust, day by day

7. Banished

Thought we had found a shelter
Keeping us safe from the cruel world
Took it as a sanctuary
Now we are banished for all eternity

Among the wolves we wonder
in the snow with cold and hunger
You have now proved your power and might
Driving your children out into the night

Clear vision with a black heart
Fortune is what you're after
Drawing you to the dark side
One day will pull you under

Found a place to rest, realized
I was lying in a pile of snakes
Black eyed gaze in the dark
Your dark schemes grant your desires
Now it is your time

Know the price of a failure
Wither, waste away
You are not worthy
to earn the right to live

Do you know the price?
You should know the price!

8. My Only Sin

felt the rhythm
of days dissappear
when i heard your words
about another truth

when was the trust defined as livin'
behind a curtain,
where you were hiding
another you

making a fool of my restless heart
though you don't know the shape i'm in
once whole, now torn apart
belief in life within, my only sin

seeing the change
of a dream long ago
when the stakes were getting higher

when you were the one to pull me near
i was blind enough to see you'd feel
when you were the one to give the signs
was it clear to you i did believe

i don't wanna
wish you well
to the darkness
where you dwell
that's not my hell

9. Credulous Soul

floating in the jet-black waters once again
mind is bright like the starlit sky above
lettin' the waves drift me to the open sea
strayed off course so long time ago

feel the changes in the air
shifting of the wind
echoing voices now insisting
new direction is ahead
towards much deeper shadows
than ever before

white bright light in the sky
follow 'cause you know
now it's the time (it's the time)
across the oceans sailing star so far away
illusion, your only truth
go astray

step off the path credulous soul
i am now waiting for you
ask no more questions, wanderer
one true believer
obey me with no reservation
i'm the one to say your will
take it on trust, embrace my truth
it will make you complete

10. Took My Will To Feel

every smile i got from you
was only born out of pity
and never meant to let me know,
to let the unknown flow

you just wanted to share your pain
and make two feel the same

when you saw me,
dying to see how the unknown would be
you just turned your face away
denied the truth,
but asked me to stay

i took your hand
to guide you through the dark

remember the night
when you lost my will to live?
remember the night
when you took my will to feel?

(it was then)
when i should've put an end
to torturing you
i should've stopped
torturing myself,
and said goodbye...
