1. The End Of The World
Open the gate
Feel the wind
Of devastation
Of desolation
Blows like the breath of a thousand vultures
Wheeling above your head
2. In Nomine Patris Et Filii Et Spiritus Sancti
You know it's coming
Nothing or no-one will save you now
Forsake your life
What's the use of waiting for a salvation?
Now it's too late
Did I do everything I wanted to do?
Did I forget something I could regret?
I know the end is near
I feel cold like ice
It's as if I was already dead
I know our time has come
Open the gate
Hear toll the knell
Kneel down
Pray the lords
Did you ever think about how will be
The end of the world?
It smells like death
It smells like past
Like two thousand years
Like millions of dead men
It smells like...
The end of the world
3. The Inner Pain
Back to reality
For the first time in my life
I thought it was good to be alive
But I was wrong...
The dreams of yesterday faded away
There is no more hope
No more hope
Back to reality
Where all is dull and grey
Where living is everyday an ordeal
Where everything can break down in a split second
What a mess I've made of my life
Will I have the strength to live one more day like today?
Blinded by a past I don't want to see anymore
And a future from where a bleakness is all I can see
What a mess I've made of my life
Will I have the strength to live one more day like today?
Back to reality
For the first time in my life
I thought it was good to be alive
But I was wrong...
The dreams of yesterday faded away
There is no more hope
No more hope
I just can't carry on this way...
4. Down Under Ground
Deep into the dark
We all look for a way out
Is it our eyes?
Light was just an illusion
We all fall into the hole
Sinking into the dust
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Down under ground
And the ache keeps growing
And the pang keeps digging
And the pain keeps creeping
And life keeps fading away
We all fall into the hole
Sinking into the dust
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Down under ground
Deep into the throes of hope
we are all waiting for a sign
But the only thing we cannot doubt about
Is that we have to decline
We see no light
We cannot fight
We live into the night
We are under ground
5. Following The Funeral Path
As we are taken out of the womb
The only certainty we have
Is to end in a tomb
Following the funeral path
Like a funeral procession
We are all walking towards our end
Heading for disaster
From womb to tomb
Is the story of our lives
6. Day Of Suffering
I kneel and shut my eyes
Hoping tomorrow never comes
How could I forget all these dull memories of my life?
Do we have to hope against hope?
Deceiving ourselves with lies
How to keep faith in life as we all fall down one by one?
One by one...
Each new day is another day of suffering
Of shivering flesh
Here in the cold
And as the day is dawning
I know a part of me is getting colder
Compare the joys and pains that occured in your life
And tell me if you want to go on living
I kneel and open my eyes
Wishing today had never come
How could I see in a world where only blind can see?
Do we have to hope against hope?
Deceiving ourselves with lies
How to keep faith in life as we all fall down one by one?
One by one...
7. Nothing Left But Silence
Sometimes I wish I had no past
No future
No history
No family
Sometimes I wish I came from nowhere
And went nowhere
I wish I had nothing to hang on to
Nothing to give me the will to live
Or to die
I wish I was just passing through the years
Sometimes I wish I was out of time
Sometimes I wish I was no-one
Sometimes I wish I was nothing
Sometimes I wish I was no-one
Sometimes I wish I was nothing
I wonder how it is when there's nothing left but silence
8. Still Alive
For how long shall life be considered as a gift of God?
I'm still in the land of the living
Still alive
But for how long?
Ice-cold
Half-dead
Sick at heart
I'm alive
Anguish Perish End it all I'm alive
Anguish Perish End it all Dead
How many dead?
How many alive?
I'm still in the land of the living
Still alive
But for how long?
Ice-cold
Half-dead
Sick at heart
I'm alive
Anguish Perish End it all I'm alive
Anguish Perish End it all Dead
Dead
9. Waste Of Time
Ignorance is a gift that no-one should lose...
Condemned to live in a world of disaster
Condemned to contemplate our won disaster
Blessed are the poor in spirit
Blessed are the sick
Blessed are the starving
Blessed are the merciful
Blessed I am not
But cursed from birth...
...and for eternity
Like ridiculous puppets we are running after time
But time slips away
Inexorably
Relentlessly
We will all die
Just slipping away
As if we had never come to life
Just fading away
All of us
10. De Profundis
Let me drift
Stay away from me
I'm bleeding
Let me sleep
For a hundred years
I'm bleeding
What will be my very last words?
I'm bleeding
What will I feel when I'll breathe my last?
I'm bleeding
How time flies
How years go by
I'm bleeding
Watch us laugh in the wind
Our fate is sealed
I'm bleeding
Everything fades to grey
I'm bleeding
Everything is so desolate
I'm bleeding
Life is but a gaping wound
I'm bleeding
I feel like the end of the world
I'm bleeding
