1. The End Is Nigh

Grab the last beams of hope
Piercing through this thunderous sky
The horsemen are riding out
Can't you hear the end is nigh

Embrace this ray of light
Through darkened skies it will appear
The horsemen are riding out
Can't you see the end is near

The apocalypse, the end of times
Mankind is lost, we pay for our crimes
The sound of galloping, the riders cry
The final hour, we all will die

The rider white with bow and crown
The pestilence that will bring us down
The rider red, sword held high
Brings us war in which we die
The rider black, scales in hand
The famine that'll be our end
The pale rider, reaper named death
Our final hour, our dying breath

Grab the last beams of hope
Piercing through this thunderous sky
The horsemen are riding out
Can't you hear the end is nigh

Embrace this ray of light
Through darkened skies it will appear
The horsemen are riding out
Can't you see the end is near

2. World In Flames

Aeons of misery
Mourn the death of Gaia
Pitch-black destiny
Praise the death of Man

Nations built with arrogance
Nations decline from ignorance
Nations undermined by belligerence
In the end it makes no difference

Aeons of misery
Mourn the death of Gaia
Pitch-black destiny
Praise the death of Man

Refuse to learn from the lessons from the past
Take a look at what mankind has become
All these ignorant thoughts, they do not last
The wounds within this world can't be undone
This world is crying, this world is bleeding
It is screaming in tremendous pain
Mankind is too blind to see this
Now watch this world burning in flames

Nations built with arrogance
Nations decline from ignorance
Nations undermined by belligerence
In the end it makes no difference

Aeons of misery
Mourn the death of Gaia
Pitch-black destiny
Praise the death of Man

3. Shackles

Here I am all alone
In an endless universe
I cannot move my brittle bones
It feels like I am cursed

In shackles I am trapped
Barbed wire around my heart
My numb soul can't adapt
To this life that's falling apart
The balance is disrupted
Trembled with fear I'm on this cord
My mind is corrupted
I'm falling off the edge of a sword

I gave up resistance
Staring into desolate skies
Shackled to this desperate life
Fooled by my own lies
And there's no other truth
There is just my own
Yet I can't see clear
I'm stuck and dying all alone

I can't take these shackles away
I cannot live, I cannot live another day
Lost and alone in endless skies
I am stuck in my own eternity
To suffer forever will be my destiny
Lost and alone until the day I die

4. A House In A Field In The Eye Of The Storm

Embrace the eternal sleep
In your house in a field in the eye of the storm
The darkness outside will hurt no more
Over yonder you will find your peace

5. The Guilt

It's hard to look back now
Of what was real
The things we had
When all seemed fine
It's not on me
You crossed that line
I did my time

I know I am the one to blame
I still can hear you cry
I know I caused this pain
(And) I never even tried

Now that you are gone
My life goes on
I won't look back
Cause I'll be fine
It's not on me
It's not my crime
I did my time

To solve what I did cause
To make right what I did wrong
There's only me you can blame
In hell is where I belong

The sparkle in your eyes just disappeared
A shadow cast upon your life
The glint I saw came from the tears
You shed because of my lies
It is my fault, I did you harm
And I never even cared
It's all on me, I denied your trust
I understand you wish me dead

And I searched for purity... deep within my soul
Only to find demons... demons that took control
That caused me to do these things
Things that caused this pain
And now nothing will never ever be the same

I know I am the one to blame
I still can hear you cry
I know I caused this pain
And I never even tried

It's hard to look back now
Of what was real
The things we had
When all seemed fine
It's not on me
You crossed that line
I did my time

Please don't look back
I crossed that line
Your life goes on
You have done your time

Now that you are gone
My life goes on
I won't look back
Cause I'll be fine
It's not on me
It's not my crime
I did my time

6. Just Smoke And Mirrors

I'm awake, why can't I sleep?
What are these pallid visions I see?
Shadow ghosts that haunt me?
It's just smoke and mirrors
Illusions that trick your mind
There's nothing that can hurt you
Don't worry, now sleep tight
Hold back your tears
You've got to stay strong
It's just smoke and mirrors
You just have to play along

It's just smoke and mirrors
Illusions that trick your mind
There's nothing that can hurt you
Don't worry, now sleep tight
I'll stay right beside you
These monsters I will fight
Wide awake, I still can't sleep
What are these pallid visions I see?
Shadowghosts that haunt me?

It's just smoke and mirrors
Illusions that trick your mind
There's nothing that can hurt you
Don't worry, now sleep tight
I'll stay right beside you
These monsters I will fight
I'll make sure they won't bite

7. Like A Flower In The Desert

Like a flower in the desert,
yearning for a drop of rain
Lost and so lonely,
I cannot share the pain
When no-one's there to hear me cry,
no-one's there to see my tears
No-one else is left behind
Why can't I just disappear?

There is all this space
but no room for me
I feel so out of place
I cry in disbelief
it hurts to be alone
It all makes no sense to me
All I want, all I want is to leave

Like a snowflake in summer,
I vanish into thin air
Lost and so lonely,
it all seems so unfair
There's no-one to talk to,
no-one I can hear
There are no thoughts to be shared
Please make me disappear

Like an ocean without water
Like a forest without trees
Life without a beating heart
A lock without the keys
Like mourning without grief
Truth without lies
Like faith without a God
Like seeing without eyes
I am defeated, ripped and torn
I wish I was never born

8. Losing Ground

Solid ground swept away underneath me
Do I dream?
Into a pitch-black abyss I fall
Is it real?

What I see, what does it mean?
Is this something I can believe?
Does my mind play tricks on me?
Are these nightmares while I sleep?

My inner thoughts and feelings disappear
Do I dream?
I vanish into these depths beyond
Is it real?

What I see, what does it mean?
Is this something I can believe?
Does my mind play tricks on me?
Are these nightmares while I sleep?

I'm loss for words as my life crumbles
It feels like I'm fading away
I can't run or walk, I just stumble
Will I make it to the end of day

What I see, I know what it means
I lost my ground
Something you better believe
