Beneath the Surface
04:40
|
|||
You stare upon me
behind an illusion screen
A crimson idol
that burns within
Beneath the surface
among flashing lights
a soul is struggling
to stay alive
Bridge
…behind the facades
within the lights
beneath the surface
a sacrifice…
Refrain
I have to lie about myself
Pretend I’m everything you need
And play this game until the end
I ‘m trapped inside you!
I cannot recognize myself
I’m not the man I used to be
Don’t wanna play this role again
I ‘m trapped inside…you!
Still you cannot tell
the difference between
what’s fake and wrong
and what is real
You are misguided
from sallowness and fame
you think illusion’s
a harmless game
I have to lie about myself
Pretend I’m everything you need
And play this game until the end
I ‘m trapped inside you!
I cannot recognize myself
I’m not the man I used to be
Don’t wanna play this role again
I ‘m trapped inside…you!
I’m trapped inside
I’m trapped inside

State of Mind: Denial
05:14
|
|||
In state of mind denial
once more you're playing dead again
although you're feeling fragile
stand the fuck up...get over the pain
You crumble through your nightmares
Andall you do is looking back
Within you lies depression
always doing nothing and keeping your mouth shut
Bridge
...when all you’re waiting...someone to save you...
...nobody’s coming to lead you through...
Refrain
When you deny to see you’re lying to yourself
When you can’t see that they are messing with your head
You can’t escape…the truth inside you
You cannot face…what crawls besides you
When you deny to see you’re tied up in chains
When you can’t see that everything begins to change
You can’t control…your screaming sirens
You cannot stop…your crawling nightmares
You strangle for acceptance
Can’t let the mind erase the past
So dare a new beginning
Abandon no reaction and do it fast
Dare change the way you’re thinking
Do find the will to try for real
So deconstruct delusion
Before you know it life has become surreal
Bridge
...when all you’re waiting...someone to save you...
...nobody’s coming to lead you through...
Refrain
When you deny to see you’re lying to yourself
When you can’t see that they are messing with your head
You can’t escape…the truth inside you
You cannot face…what crawls besides you
When you deny to see you’re tied up in chains
When you can’t see that everything begins to change
You can’t control…your screaming sirens
You cannot stop…your crawling nightmares

Reigning Machine
03:26
|
|||
In the edge of crucial lines
the Machines drowning our silent cries
Man is strangling to survive
within feigned in sipid lives
A tension growls inside
it grows inside our minds
our freedom's in disguise
we’re suffocated
Technology deprives
destroys what'sleft inside
wrath poisoning our lives
but we are not dead yet
Refrain:
We’re trapped in silence…we’re trapped inside
We’re trapped inside…entrapped
One footstep from our fate
we're trapped and lost our way
now silence screams our name
we’re devastated
The wreckage of this reign
Humanity’s insane
our thoughts are dyed in vain
can we endure the pain?
Refrain:
We’re trapped in silence…we’ re trapped inside
We’re trapped inside…entrapped

No More
04:07
|
|||
I never lied on a dead end
I’m always trapped into grey
My loss embeds a denial
Inside my disrupted brain
Why don’t you stand up…why can’t you see
Why don’t you look deep…inside of me?
Why don’t you stand up…why can’t you see
Why don’t you look deep…inside of me?
Refrain
No longer can I feel the pain inside
No more I wanna live in sorrow
Don’t need your foolish games inside my mind
Your harshness makes me feel so hollow
Pain’s still burning inside me
Tears my writhing soul in half
Left me restless… burning red
Soulis ripped out…lying dead!
Why don’t you stand up…why can’t you see
Why don’t you look deep…inside of me?
Why don’t you stand up…why can’t you see
Why don’t you look deep…inside of me?
Refrain
No longer can I feel the pain inside
No more I wanna live in sorrow
Don’t need your foolish games inside my mind
Your harshness makes me feel so hollow
Empty…dead…restless…in my head…

One and Only
05:12
|
|||
You try to break me
and tear me apart
But I won't let you calm the beast inside me
don’t try to "save" me
you can’t hear my heart
Or I will cut you in half
You try to "con" me
And hide who you are
But I won't let you grow the fear inside me
Don't try to scare me or
Take it too far
Or I will show you my wrath
Don’t try to break me…
Don’t try to break
Don’t try to break me…
Don’t try to…
Refrain
I don't wanna crumble
I don't wanna break
I don’t wanna be your “dog”
I'm one and only
I don’t wanna struggle
I don’t wanna wait
I just wanna break down your walls…’cause
I'm one and only
I am infernal
I am your curse
I am your sentence
Sentence to death
What’s to expect from a “dead” man?
What’s to expect fromthe damned?
What’s to expect from a “dead” man?
There is no reason in death

Waver
04:27
|
|||
I never betrayed the end…you can’t save me
I never betray the way that leads in pain
I never wanted to lie behind those walls
Don’t wanna be afraid when darkness falls
How can you lie to yourself?
How can you lie to yourself?
How can you lie to…
Refrain
So now I waver
I can’t decide on who I am
Not everything is like a game
I feel I’m fading
When darkness falls within my mind
The hour bell begins to chime
I start to waver
And feel my heart is braking
I never repent my sins…so you can’t save me
I never forget the pain I cause to you

...from the Edge
05:10
|
|||
So…so now I’ m falling
Falling from a dream
Dreaming in vain
Fate…this fate is stolen
Drown in a soundless scream
Sinking in pain
Refrain
So let go…
Allow soul to sink deeper
Just let go…
Now breath is getting weaker
Let the fall…
Embrace the trip descending
Let the roar…
the herd is still pretending
Fear…fear kept me breathless
Can’t take a simple step
A shade standing still
Hear…a soul standing helpless
A footstep from the edge
So desperate to feel
Refrain
So let go…
Just let the soul sink deeper
Just let go…
Now breath is getting weaker
Let me fall…
Embrace the trip descending
Let me roar…
Against a world pretending
So let your soul sink deep
into the final trip
just one step from the edge
you can’t escape the End
Let your body lighten
Let soul disengage
Free your mind from boundaries
Free your thoughts from chains
When there is just one footstep from the edge…
Stare at the horizon…and embrace the end

Trip
04:18
|
|||
I’ll never feel the same
Within my scarlet game
Devouring my dreams
Will drive me insane
My body’s aching
My hands still shake
I cannot stop myself from tripping once again
Mother I’m helpless
Father I’m dead
The serpent crawling in my veins drives me insane
Refrain
I’ll never feel the same
Within my scarlet game
Devouring my dreams
Will drive me insane
How much I miss to sink
Within the color of your eyes
But silence drowns my screams
Into my sacrifice
Another daytrip
Another dive
Another try to leave the pressure all behind
When sinking deeper
escaping pain
it’s getting harder ‘n’ harder to return again
I’ll never feel the same…

Quill
06:06
|
|||
When life shelters in a reverie…of a utopian world
Shades enshrine a vague resemblance…of a never ending Fall
When life’s gasping for a liberation breath
Souls become dark shadows in a mechanistic earth
War of one, scarlet sun
sinks behind the scenes of turmoil
falling sand, in my hand
impatience grows restrain
Blatant dreams in infertile soil
Silent screams in vain
World of lies, in sacrifice
Deception in sustain… in sustain
“with tears I observe this world of western slavery where money, brainwashing and ignorance drag billions of souls into corruption, daily routine and death every single moment that passes by…”
Refrain
Quill…you lead my dreams…in futile scenes
Can you deceive my senses so I will not feel?
When sirens scar…your fate on nothing
Will you suppress the silence screaming out what’s real?
So…raise thy will, ‘gainst the pill
that prevents the mind from thinking
grab the quill, fight to feel
dare immediate act
Bring down all the remnants
of a decadence in reign
open doors, take the force
to free this world again…free again
“and here I stand, a distant observer of pain and unhappiness curved on stone – smiling-faces that try to persuade (deceive) themselves of being happy and free…”
Refrain
Quill…you lead my dreams…in futile scenes
Can you deceive my senses so I will not feel?
When sirens scar…your fate on nothing
Will you suppress the silence screaming out what’s real?

The End
04:46
|
|||
Now I follow…what’s inside your troubled mind,
the face of your denial, the letter of excuse
Still I’m hollow…cannot find the reason why
Each moment’s like a trial…and present lies misused
Refrain
What I feel?
what I hope for?
let me bleed until the End
trapped inside these walls
Should I stay…
…or escape from…
there is nothing left to say
nothing in our souls
So we render…everything that lies behind
now seems like a delusion…lost footsteps in the sand
Cannot shelter…all the feelings trapped inside
We deified seclusion…within our private land
Refrain
What I feel?
what I hope for?
let me bleed until the End
trapped inside these walls
Should I stay…
…or escape from…
there is nothing left to say
nothing in our souls
So now we raise our walls
we’ re trapped inside our pride
but now the curtain falls
we leave the past behind
We are trapped inside our prison
We are trapped inside our minds
We have built these walls around us
We are victims of our crimes
