1. Break Me
You are the one, the one in my dreams, making me bleed
You are the one, the one in my fears, taking and breaking
My heart – torn apart
Take me as I am, break me as I stand
I'm waiting here for you
Wait until we die, after it's all gone
I'm holding my soul for you
Too dark to see – lost in your eyes, lost in a dream
Fading away, lost in horizon, still lost
In your dreams
Burning my heart, a tempting seducer, that's what you are
You are holding me close – say you will never let go – no oh!
Take me as I am, break me as I stand
I'm waiting here for you
Wait until we die, after it's all gone
I'm holding my soul for you
No, I shall not fear, no nothing to fear
No I shall not fear, no nothing to fear... in love
Break me, break me, break me, break me!
Take me as I am, break me as I stand
I'm waiting here for you
Wait until we die, after it's all gone
I'm still holding my soul for you
Take me as I am, break me as I stand
I'm waiting here for you
Wait until we die
Tear me apart! Rip off my heart!
Break me!
2. The Storm Inside
Do you feel like you've been used?
Or have you ever felt abused?
What they say is that they'll save you
And what they'll say is that they'll love you
It's raining, it's raging mad, it's the storm of the century
And it's all that you now see – all that you see
What they say is not true, they cannot liberate you
It's true the storm is now here
But the storm is not out there
The storm is inside of you!
Have you ever felt deceived?
Do you feel helpless and victimized?
What they'll say is that they "need you so"
And what they say is that they'll redeem you
It's raining, it's raging mad, it's the storm of the century
And it's all that you now see – all that you see
What they say is not true, they cannot liberate you
It's true the storm is now here
But the storm is not out there
The storm is inside of you
Inside of you – the storm – inside of you – the storm
It's raining, it's raging mad, it's the storm of the century
And it's all that you now see – all that you see
What they say is not true, they cannot liberate you
It's true the storm is now here
But the storm is not out there
The storm is inside of you!
3. Absolute Power
I saw you all alone wandering in the shadows
Full of fear and full of doubt
This is the darkest place in all of space and time
Oh why can't we save the ones we love?
Hold my heart, save my soul
Never let me go
Hold your tears, kill my fears
Walk with me through this life – a sweet sacrifice
Oh it's growing stronger day by day
The need to control, to change the future
There is no reason, there's no way to explain
Why you've been doomed this way
This is the way to absolute power
The way to be in control – out of control
Hold my heart, save my soul
Never let me go
Hold your tears, kill my fears
Walk with me through this life – a sweet sacrifice
Absolute power!
Power – power – absolute power
Hold my heart, save my soul
Walk with me through this life
Hold your tears, kill my fears
Just a sweet sacrifice
Hold my heart, save my soul
Never let me go
Hold your tears, kill my fears
Walk with me through this life – a sweet sacrifice
4. Tears (You Don't Know Me)
She is the kind of girl, who'll make your body twirl
She'll shake you up like no one else before
She's got the hottest curves
And boy she's got a lot of nerve
There's something special there you can't let go of
Strong emotions in the heat of the night
Cold reflections in the mirror of my life
Everyone thinks that they know you better than they do
But do they really listen to you? No no no no!
And everyone thinks that they know you
Better than they do
But when they really listen to you
They cry and cry in the cold
So the tears turn into snow
The things she does at night turn you on every time
Addiction is a game and you cannot win
She's all over tight as hell as your body will soon tell
Blood and sweat on your chest
Come on now boy, give it your best
Strong emotions in the heat of the night
Cold reflections in the mirror of my life
Everyone thinks that they know you better than they do
But do they really listen to you? No no no no!
And everyone thinks that they know you
Better than they do
But when they really listen to you
They cry and cry in the cold
So the tears turn into snow
I've been searching for so long
For someone to really understand
There is pain behind the surface
There is pain inside – pain – pain
Everyone thinks they know you
Everyone thinks that they know you better than they do
But do they really listen to you? No no no no!
And everyone thinks that they know you
Better than they do
But when they really listen to you
They cry and cry in the cold
So the tears turn into snow
You don't really know me, you don't really know me
You don't really know me – tears turn into snow
You don't really know me!
5. Your Game, My Pain
Let me tell you, our love and hate
They come from the same place
And I have found a place in your heart
Now won't we dance in and out of love
Until the end of the world
Your game, my pain – endlessly vain
Your game, my pain – living in shame
I feel so tired, crippled by your love
Trying to keep the faith
So alone, yet bound to you
Oh won't you please let go
The fear in you, it hurts me inside
Oh how did we end up like this?
Was it not you?
The bitter fears – don't you know?
The silent tears – you should know
Oh won't we dance in and out of love
Until we've stolen the joy from our lives
Your game, my pain – endlessly vain
Your game, my pain – living in shame
Your game, my pain – endlessly vain
Your game, my pain – living in shame
And it's your game – my game
6. Let Me Go
When I look at you, what do i see?
The darker side of me
When you are near, what do I feel?
I sense your madness
Your dreams of despair shattered my soul
And now they're coming after me too
I'm starting to feel the hate in you
Oh have you seen my face in the mirror
It's not who I used to be
Without my soul and your love
My hate now controls me
So it's time to let go
I've got wounds in my heart, and they'll never heal
how much can I endure?
You are haunting me, throughout this madness
I'm going through
We've broken and crushed the heart of everything
The open door is shut – once there was more
But after forever, all is dead
Oh why can't you see, there is no key
To unlock this mystery
And why can't you see our nightmares are real
Surreal/so real – insane
Oh have you seen my face in the mirror
it's not who I used to be
Without my soul and your love
My hate now controls me
So it's time to let go
Oh have you seen my face in the mirror
It's not who I used to be
Without my soul and your love
My hate now controls me
So it's time to let go
Let go!
Let me go!
7. Without My Soul
I followed you into the world where your curse began
With you by my side I cannot fail I'm still the one
Stay with me through this night of pain
Oh can't you see, there is no reason
To break what we've began, with you
I have all I could ever want
Stay with me, don't break my heart
Not without my soul
Not without my soul!
Oh can't you see I'm crying for help
I don't know myself anymore
I cannot follow you into the dark
And you're breaking my heart
Stay with me through this night of pain
Oh can't you see, there is no reason
To break what we've began, with you
I have all I could ever want
Stay with me, don't break my heart
Not without my soul
Not without my soul!
Stay with me through this night of pain
Oh can't you see, there is no reason
There is no reason not to stay with me
Through this night of pain
Oh can't you see, there is no reason
To break what we've began, with you
I have all I could ever want
Stay with me, don't break my heart
Not without my soul
Not without my soul!
Stay with me
8. The Last Change
Last night I was running in the rain
Talking to my God – talking to myself
Didn't you hear me in the night, crying for you?
Do you even care enough to try, try to love me?
This is your last chance
I ain't no god I am no hero
Just a man who has no heart
Save my soul
I have no cause, life has no meaning
I am lost within myself
This is your chance!
The end is near – tonight I'm praying
Could someone just take me away?
Don't you care about anyone near to your heart?
Did you ever stop to think that you're my hero?
This is your last chance
I ain't no god I am no hero
Just a man who has no heart
Save my soul
I have no cause, life has no meaning
I am lost within myself
This is your chance!
I ain't no god I am no hero
Just a man who has no heart
Save my soul
I have no cause, life has no meaning
I am lost within myself
This is your chance, to, live/leave
9. Downing In Myself
Why would you settle for the fairest amount
When you can have all that you want?
Why the hell would you ask yourself for a reason
When you can do whatever you want to do?
Ecstatic, excessive, narcotic exaggerations
This the only way to feel alive
And feel like the world doesn't end
And I've lost pieces of my heart
I've died a thousand times, inside
I don't know where I've been
Quietly drowning in the storm
My life, out of control
But finally I know what it all means
For a thousand miles I've ran and I've ran
Now stopping now, I'm reaching my goal
for a million hours shouting out too loud
Burning my hate, taking it out on you all
Inflated, incentive, stimulated atmosphere
This is the only way to stay alive
Even though this is what's killing me
And I've lost pieces of my heart
I've died a thousand times, inside
I don't know where I've been
Quietly drowning in the storm
My life, out of control
But finally I know what it all means
And I've lost pieces of my heart
I've died a thousand times, inside
I don't know where I've been
Quietly drowning in the storm
My life, out of control
But finally I know what it all means
You live, you burn, you give, you learn
But still you know nothing at all
10. At World's End
New beginning
Lie, lie to yourself
Like tomorrow you're going to make a change
A change, change to the world
That's what you say, you think there's no way
This is the end, this is farewell
So close your eyes, no, I won't tell a soul
Don't be afraid to feel ashamed
Just take the step into nothingness
At world's end
And time, there is no time
To wait for what tomorrow brings along
We're all alone
And this is the place where it all comes to an end
This is the end, this is farewell
So close your eyes, no, I won't tell a soul
Don't be afraid to feel ashamed
Just take the step into nothingness
At world's end
This is the end, this is farewell
Watch as our world comes down in flames
Give up your faith, give up illusion
Open your eyes, at world's end
at world's end
11. The Artist
There's a man somewhere, older than his instrument
He's sitting by his piano, trying to play the one song
He used to have love
He used to have hate and sorrow
He gave it all up for just one song
So he sold his soul for art
Once you were here
You filled me with emptiness it was so sad
Where are you now? There's nothing let for me
Only this self-inflicted insanity
He lost his family, all of his loved ones
He doesn't have emotions, he doesn't feel anything at all
From pain and love comes inspiration
Without it he can write no more
So there's nothing left for him
But still he plays his old song
Once you were here
You filled me with emptiness it was so sad
Where are you now? There's nothing left for me
Just a self-fulfilling prophecy – self-fulfilling prophecy
