1. Erinnerung

оригинал: The Protagonist

(Instrumental)

2. Judgement

оригинал: Faith And The Muse

Standing still here for a moment
Breath held tightly in my body
A world that?s growing darker
Not worth a longer stay

All the wisdom that I earned
Can?t make a change to this state
As I lay down my spirit?s arms
On my knees to seal my fate

I cast my hopes into the waters
Awaiting judgement from the sea
And someday the tide will rise
Up so high to swallow me

Collapsing pride and fading joy
Are marking my capitulation
To a world that cries in pain
And slowly dies in misery

Come the demons of my soul
To carry my sane mind away
I?m just a noble soul of honour
Who has left its way

3. Epitaph

оригинал: Janus

Too many souls just fade away
And leave nothing behind
Too many live just for the day
And let their time pass by

Too many graves stay nameless
In the garden of the dead
Too many pictures frameless
Blurred lost memories

Do not search this place for me
Search for me deep in your heart
If I haven?t built my memorial there
My life has been in vain

So I must not fear the time
When the reaper shows its face
My memorial will shine
Brighter than the sun

Let come the night, the final day
To retreat forever
My soul will sweep away
And will not be forgotten

4. Rearranging

оригинал: ASP

I?ve walked the holy grounds of justice
For too long now, I assume
I cleared the paths for those too week
And walked blind into my doom

The time has come to change the sight
To find a new perspective
To search the world for inner peace
Leave shelters, so protective

But in the end it all stays the same
No changes made, no lessons learned

Seasons change as time goes by
When tears are cried, they always dry
A change be made, to understand
That I will find my promised land

I cared to much for people?s thoughts
And forgot about my own
If I?d continue to suit their needs
I?d loose the treasure that I own

My powers focused, they shall be
To treat my treasure properly
To conserve its beauty, and its love
And never threat our unity

5. Slut

оригинал: Lights Of Euphoria

Misled children
Tortured souls
Masochistic need
A bell tolls

For those who feel
Nothing inside
No love, no hate
No stars bright

Raped by life
They give their pride
And will end up
With no one at their side

You?re just a slut with no honour and no pride
You?re just a slut and it is time for you to finally confide
You are a slut, you are alone
You will die here on your own
You are a slut you ran astray
And you?ve thrown your life away

Loneliness your destination
No helping hand and no salvation
For those who do not know
The meaning of feelings

I turn away
And you don?t care
There?ll be another one waiting
In the city square

6. Licht Und Schatten

оригинал: Yendri

Licht:
Du sahst so viele Wunder hier
Erfuhrst Liebe und auch Zärtlichkeit
Noch soviel legt das Leben offen Dir
Noch soviel Schönes, so viel Zeit

Ich stieg empor zum höchsten Thron
Ich fiel auch in die tiefste Nacht
Doch nichts erstickt die Wunder
Die die Liebe hat vollbracht

Schatten:
Grausam das Schicksal, das Dir bestimmt
Tod und Leiden waren Deine Begleiter
Nur noch mehr Schmerz die Zeit sich nimmt
Es ist vorbei, geh` nicht mehr weiter

Ich stieg empor zum höchsten Thron
Ich fiel auch in die tiefste Nacht
Doch nichts erstickt die Wunder
Die die Liebe hat vollbracht

Licht:
Das Leben ist ein Wechselspiel
Wie es auch der Tag, die Nacht
Nach jedem Mord, nach jedem Pein
Werden Wunder dann vollbracht

Schatten:
Leben ist ein Wechselspiel
Wie es auch der Tag, die Nacht
Doch Dein Leiden wäret ewig
Der Tod erhört dann Deine Klag?

Ich stieg empor zum höchsten Thron
Ich fiel auch in die tiefste Nacht
Doch nichts erstickt die Wunder
Die die Liebe hat vollbracht

Egal ob lebendig oder Tod
Sie ist immer hier bei mir
Und wenn die ganze Welt auch leidet
Leben wir, lieben wir
[für immderdar]

7. Voiceless

оригинал: MS Gentur

I watch the stars collapse at night
When demons haunt me once again
In the sky, their death shines bright
Every loss brings a new gain

The peace of voiceless darkness
Silence voices who scream at me
And through the gentle night– time
I gain the knowledge, that I?m free

When you?re in your darkest hours
Seek the embrace of the night
Open up to all its powers
I`ll show you what`s behind the light

We`re blinded by the brightest shining
And see not what`s behind
So we watch our own declining
Life, that made us far too blind

We will not see the pleasures offered
When they?re not obvious to see
Beauty?s just what they will look at
Close the door and drop the key

8. Was Hält Mich Noch Hier

оригинал: Assemblage 23

Langsam rinnt mein Leben
Wie der Sand durch meine Hände
Umsonst scheint all mein Streben
Verloren in der Ewigkeit

Doch nur weil ich meinen Traum
Zu oft in fremde Hände legte
Doch ändern kann ich es kaum
Denn jetzt ist es zu spät

Was hält mich noch hier?
An diesem Ort der Dunkelheit?
Nur das Licht, dass Deine Liebe
Mir scheinen läßt in Ewigkeit

Mein Schicksal, welches fremdbestimmt
Verflüchtigt sich und langsam weiter
Es ohne Halt zu Boden rinnt
Um dort unterzugehen

Nur ein Ziel das ich erreicht
Rechtfertigt all das was geschehen
Die Liebe, die nichts and`rem gleicht
Hilft mir hier zu bestehen

9. Forgive Me

(by In Strict Confidence)

All the dreams that I have had
They lie shattered on the floor
But I found waht I was searching
I have never wanted more

I am forced to leave this life behind
You remain behind the door
But our love stays in my heart
I have never wanted more

Please forgive me, but I have to leave
Stand up proud and show no grief
In this hour, I will pray
That we?ll be joined again some day
Our love is stronger than the sun
And will still shine, when I am gone
I?m so afraid to cross this line
Please hold me for one last time

The marks I left, the deeds I? ve done
Will remind the world of me
Some hearts will bear my memory
I have never wanted more

Also these lines shall shine up high
To show the people who I?ve been
A loving man of pride and passion
I have never wanted more

10. Leaving

оригинал: S.I.N.A.

Unfold your heart and let me see
The pain you bear, because of me
I?m innocent but broke your heart
Destroyed your dreams, ripped them apart

Ask gods above and gods below
To tell you why I have to go
Have I deserved this punishment
Please guide me to understand

Ask gods above and gods below
Why my life will stop its flow
The gods deserved this punishment
To guide you to understand

11. Dead Actor's Requiem

оригинал: Sonar

It?s time to leave the stage
In this theatre of pain
To let go of all the rage
When all scenes have been played

The final act concluded
The curtain falls for one last time
And outside the crowed still cheers
There?ll be no encore this time

Weep away all your tears my friend
We will meet again someday
But this time, there?ll be an end
To this play I called my life

Leaving the stage, smash the mask
An actor dead, a human being
On the ground, a final gasp
The doors are opened wide

The air perforated by the rain
Outsied is conquered silently
By a soul who?s free of pain
The actor left the stage

12. The Truth Behind

оригинал: Megadump

On the edge of this world
In the darkness of your soul
The only hold you have
Are your beliefs that conquer all

All the doubts and all you hide
Like a curtain these will fall
And reveal the truth behind
The lies that obey your call

There are dreams I do believe
That do guide and not deceive
There are dreams I do believe
That reveil what you conceive

Shatter your illusions
To conquer what is real
Surrender to your fellings
Cry out loud what you conceil

Believe in your powers
Your dreams will come true
As long as you believe in you
Nothing in this world can stop you
