1. Path To...

2. Ruin

There's a crimson star in my sky tonight
She shines my will to fight
There's an island in my sea of emptiness
She wants to keep me ashored, so I go...
There's a roomful of best intentions
Hopelessly scenting funeral song
It doesn't matter, it's on now
Burning my pain of solitude

I've travelled over the long distance
Far beyond the wounds of dark days
I've screamed the songs of broken hearts
On the verge of rude awakening
This poetry of ruin swaying on
Ripping my guts so violently
I've been waiting for so long
That song to end, kill the white noise in my head

Night and day, my enemies scar me
Now I face my anguish alone
A thousand stings cutting my chest
Guiding my rage against me

There's a poison pillow in my bed
Stealing my dreams away
Lying awake and hating the sleep
It holds me until I drift away
This poetry of ruin swaying on
Ripping my guts so violently
I've been waiting for so long
That song to end, kill the white noise in my head

Night and day, my enemies scar me
Now I face my anguish alone
A thousand stings cutting my chest
Guiding my rage against me

Night and day, my enemies scar me
Now I fight my anguish alone
A thousand stings cutting my chest
Guiding my rage against me

A thousand stings cutting my chest
Now I face my ruin alone

3. Nemesis

He is insect among gods
With strength to dehtrone all
A tool of hate with no soul
Driven by a dead black heart

Lacerated and torn human shell
Walking on the burnt bridges
Carved in his battered flesh
A mantra of human kindred

"To forgive is noble but vengeance is power"

Nothing can stop this nemesis
Every lie reconciled
Judging us from above
Cauterizing feelings inside

A false deity congregation
Kneeling down for absolution
Last rites and confession
Prosecution and execution

"To love someone leads us into oblivion"

Would you still hold me if I was the one
Born out of the rivers of blood?
Would you still love me all over again
If you could stop the end?

Others are born of fire
Destined to burn forever
With lust for something, never to find
I stare at the wall against which I will die
I carve these words into my flesh as I cry:
Why can't my aching soul retire?

"To forgive is noble, but vengeance is power"

Would you still hold me if I was the one
Born out of the rivers of blood?
Would you still love me all over again
If you could stop the end?
Would you still love me all over again?

4. Fall On Evil Days

Do we remember why they're suffering
None of this seems real
We see their sadness, it's all madness
Darkness has descended upon us

All the nameless fears have come true
Faceless secrets revealed
All this loathing that we feel inside
It doesn't justify our deeds

Dead emotions all around us
Time of sickness begins
Never believed in tomorrow since day one
We were walking dead

All the nameless fears have come true
Faceless secrets revealed
All this loathing that we feel inside
It doesn't justify our deeds

Fall on evil days, remember there's no way out
What is done is done
Fall on evil days when agony breaks us down
We murdered love

Pathetic lives, too sick to cure
There is no medication
Fall on evil days, we are walking evil ways
Hand in hand towards hell

Fall on evil days, remember there's no way out
What is done is done
Fall on evil days when agony breaks us down
We murdered love

5. Feardom

Ravenblack hair whips the shadowed wall
Dusk swirls around her
Temptation has arrived with fall
The true fall of man

In here many have loved
And given into hatred
A tomb of all things living
And a grave for all things dead
(We come here to die)

Bloodred cape sweeps the ancient floor
Tiled with vanity
Fear is here, master of this hall

(Feardom) Beggars in the halls of king fear

Flames lick the roof above
Bearing time like we carry our crosses
Guilt is here, burning like the sun

Blue eyes stare at the convention
This meeting of betrayers
Truth is before the beholder
Grim truth we all know but deny

In here many have loved
And given into hatred
A tomb of all things living
And a grave for all things dead
(We come here to die)

Greatest of all kneel before him
Fear breaks the strongest one
Forged inside mind, embedded inside heart

(Feardom) Ages cannot hide what we are
(Feardom) Beggars in the halls of king fear
Grave of love

Seal me inside this tomb
Leave out all things I hold dear
Entomb me inside my mind
Abandoned in the kingdom of fear

6. Life Keeps Bleeding

I have challenged
All the nameless fears, lost within the cause
In my darkest place
I have born and died, risen above all ashes
Yesterday's mistake
Nevertheless casualties, victims of coincidence

Please make me an honest man
Choose my weapons, choose my fate
Lose my shadows, burn my hate
Yesterday's mistake
Nevertheless casualties, victims of coincidence

I must survive this ordeal
Since only the dead see the end of dying
And life keeps bleeding thru' ageless wounds...
...of joy and despair... bleeding on and on

What I can't see
Mind can't make it real
At last I see my soul bleed
When the deed is done
When the smoke has gone
I stand my ground proud and tall

I must survive this ordeal
Since only the dead see the end of dying
And life keeps bleeding thru' ageless wounds...
...of joy and despair... bleeding on and on

7. Another Door

Tonight, I don't wanna be me
I live in a dreamworld
It seems to be inevitable
Expect more things to fail
Next gasp of breath, next perfect way
To prevail...
I shall be reborn in this moment
Don't wanna die in vain...

If I could find chivalry
In those moments when I crack and fall
Rise and stand against the wall
And no one knows I can see it all
So many times I've seen it break
Tonight, I carry the cape of fear
Since love's the only thing that can't hate
Hate is the last shadow I wear

Tonight, I ease my restless soul
While my body lies in flaming torment
It's a long way to turn around
When death is just another door
...Just another door...

I keep those things safe in my head
That should not be
Tonight, I leave them under lock and key
Killing of time begins
My mind wanders, my soul aches
Shall I be afraid?
Should I stand my ground and stay?
Leave the weak behind and survive

Tonight, I ease my restless soul
While my body lies in flaming torment
It's a long way to turn around
When death is just another door
...Just another door...

I close yet another door
In every struggle I feel insecure
Close my mind to stay awake
In the last eye of the storm

8. Pathetic Little Soul

Your words will never change
To tell the truth, you can never change
You're trying to rule our lives
But remember you can't be someone's king
Take a close look at yourself and
See your stupidity

Your pathetic little soul
Only capable to destroy

You, show your face and come out from shadows
Prepare, I unleashed hell for you
We all can smell your fear
Now we know you can't be healed

I promise someday my hate and rage will
Face your lies
Why don't you try to find help for yourself

Your pathetic little soul
Only capable to destroy

You, show your face and come out from shadows
Prepare, I unleashed hell for you
We all can smell your fear
Now we know you can't be healed

I thought you were my friend
I thought you'd understand

What the hell are you thinking?
Can't you see you are going down?

You, show your face and come out from shadows
Prepare, I unleashed hell for you
We all can smell your fear
Now we know you can't be healed

I thought you were my friend
I thought you'd understand

9. Butterfly

Spread the fragile wings, reach for the sky
Leave all sadness behind
Higher and higher to reach the stars
A mere butterfly in the storm of life

From earth you are born
And back to earth you are drawn
Death's own all the same
The wise, the strong, the frail

Spread the fragile wings, reach for it all
Sun burns the wings, greedy ones must fall
A dreamer soul burns like a candle
Lit from both ends
Thirsty heart can never be quenched

From earth you are born
And back to earth you are drawn
Death's own all the same
The wise, the strong, the frail

Remember when you were born
At that same moment
You were sentenced to die
And to carry the burden of life
Our dreams are built into castles
And those walls will crumble down
Nothing is forever, to each his own

Spread the fragile wings, reach it for the last time
The tireless hope to live a good life
Our hope is in vain, our wishes will never come true
Each life will end, every dream will die

Remember when you were born
At that same moment
You were sentenced to die
And to carry the burden of life
Our dreams are built into castles
And those walls will crumble down
Nothing is forever, to each his own

10. Powderburns

Now understand this, wretch
I tore my heart in two
Let's take a glimpse inside me
All traces lead to you

Shredding your way into another man's flesh
Crush and burn the smoldering ruin to start fresh
A sea of empty souls to harvest this barren crop
Without hesitation all blindfolded and shot

No matter where I look I see all life end
Nothing we sow will ever grow into grace

We are the powderburns in your hands
A silenced death, a whisper, a memory of past

A field of fallen victims we have to bear in our minds
A graveyard of broken hearts, forlorn loved ones

No matter where I look I see all life end
Nothing we sow will ever grow into grace

We are the powderburns in your hands
A silenced death, a whisper, a memory of past
We are the powderburns in your hands
A lie, a whisper, a turned page at last

How do you sleep at night
After all you've done?
Joy and woe enshrined
A statue made of flesh and bone undone

We are the powderburns in your hands
A sack of dust, a whisper, a memory of past
We are the powderburns in your hands
A lie, a whisper, a turned page at last

Telltale snake eyes
Give away you, twisted ghoul
A gangrene ridden heart
Spreading poison blood into my very soul

11. DNA Of A God

You are my everything
I would draw down the moon for you
Given the love and all the trust
What we have I am dying to lose
It kills me to see you lying there
I am strong in my faith
Every damn second taking you away
I am nothing before this fate

Inhale the will to live, exhale the dying cold
The more you die each day, I die a little each night
As a man, my love is just a word
No power can stop us from dying
As a god, my love would change it all
My love could bring you to life

Paralyzed with fear to rely on hope
Too weak with nothing to be done
Tempted with ways to defy nature
Forsake my soul to save her

I will inject myself with this divine DNA
To reject my salvation for one more life
To stop the time right here, right now

Fear of losing loved ones, fear of being left behind
Anger against mortality, clear mind obsolete
Give me a way to go beyond
Become something more, become a god
If I can't cure a cancer I must cure humanity

Paralyzed with fear to rely on hope
Too weak with nothing to be done
Tempted with ways to defy nature
Forsake my soul to save her

I will inject myself with this divine DNA
To reject my salvation for one more life
To stop the time right here, right now

I changed myself to preserve you
To save us I rejected our salvation
