Why am I wasting my days to breathe? When there are only eyes on the gallows Waiting to see, trying to feel, Waiting to start to heal What could I do to face my fears When my roots are growing in I cannot find a way Every second that I’m with my horrors Who the fuck took my voice The remnants of my moving tongue Every second that I live my life Times ain’t waiting for us to follow While the thread is burning out What is said now will never get done Under the curse of this world Every second that I’m with my horrors Who the fuck took my voice The remnants of my moving tongue Every second that I live my life I learn To be dead behind the eyes I learn To be dead Times ain’t waiting for us to follow While the thread is burning out What is said now will never get done Under the curse of this fucking world Am I dead? Now that I’m wasting my days to breathe I am disappointed With broken knees I climb the stairs Reaching to something behind that wall So many nails have been scratching the door But none of them, none of them With broken knees I climb the stairs Reaching to something behind that wall So many nails have been scratching the door But none of them will find the light

Stand up and fight for the things That matter the most to you You’ve got to take what’s yours And never give in for What they ask nor what they tell you to do It only drives their own fucking interest We won’t be defined We won’t be criticized We won’t be defined by you We might get washed away from the lifeline The courage we need is right inside us Stand against a sea of enemies They can't fucking break us We won't be compromised We won't be condemned We won't be compromised by you You can draw a line in the sand But it's easy to step over it We gotta do what really is necessary Unrest out of dissent We bring the silence For what comes to our lives We bring the silence Right back into your mouth We bring the silence Though we stand alone We bring the silence Right back into your heart Into your heart We cast the stone to tremble the temple It will shake for the sake of threat They gotta face the unpleasant aftermath Unrest that's what they said We bring the silence For what comes to our lives We bring the silence Right back into your mouth We bring the silence Though we stand alone We bring the silence Right back into your heart Into your fucking heart

Ascend 04:28

Rose leaves on a palm of a hand Exposure will make them ascend Careful not to clench too tight They lose color And leave just a memory behind These days are a dime a dozen Run-down shelter gaining strength From troubles' demise Gaunting thoughts will step aside One less but the leaves will bloom Can one perfect day Compensate all the grief I've felt? Can one thriving leaf Replace a withering crop? Can one perfect day Compensate all the grief I've felt? Can one thriving leaf Replace a withering crop? When all the others are lost All this time I've filled my hands with emptiness A swirl of wind has taken them All this time I've filled my hands with emptiness But from this point forward I'll remember to keep them safe and sound I won't forget what it is to stumble through the dark waters I won't forget that in the deepest abyss I still have red in my hands Red in my hands In my hands! All this time I've filled my hands with emptiness A swirl of wind has taken them All this time I've filled my hands with emptiness But from this point forward I'll remember to keep them safe and sound All this time Emptiness But from this point forward I'll remember to keep them safe and sound All this time I will remember

Another night poured down the drain I am tired to feel numb of everything A long time ago I made a pledge How I would set the sticks on the board So it seems that I have lost them all In ruins lie the dreams that I once built I know these words have been said before But I don’t know who the fuck I am anymore Can you look right through me? Is there something you can see? I have always resent self-pity And I thought it was a fix To feel something else Than what it represents I have never felt this lonely Surrounded by the people Who love me but I can’t give it The respect that it needs This mask has started to Live a life of its own It is wearing me out Sometimes a person can’t exist Without letting others down I am not an exception They say making mistakes Gives us a key to deliverance I just want everyone to know that I am sorry for everything Tangled by these vines of hate I lost the game and closed my eyes At nights when I can’t really sleep The feeling of inadequacy takes me In a way I’m exhausted by shame The darkest hour will cover it all I deny and I forget Never had the chance to feel regret Sometimes a person can’t exist Without letting others down I am not an exception They say making mistakes Gives us a key to deliverance I just want everyone to know That I am sorry for everything

Victims 03:37

Silence is not a sign Of my fucking compliance These depraved walls Are on the verge of coming down Leaving traces of bittered bricks To remind us what we were built of The artifact of hope Through its cracks I can see it now Dodge the bullet one more time And I promise I'll shoot you myself I won't stay in this sinking ship 'cause I know it won't hold much longer If you point your finger at me again I swear I'll break them all Cracking of bones is a soundtrack As I am making this even Instead of me it will be you filling lungs In this endless sea of shit Swim against the tide I won't be a victim I won't get casted aside I reclaim my self-respect So sleep with the Sleep with the fishes bitch! How am I supposed to be Everything you force me to be? I only have one choice to make Fight back or get left fucking dead What am I supposed to feel As I pull this knife out of me? Eyes covered I'm walking the plank But I have some dignity left in me Fuck you!

Labyrinth of Deception 03:30
lyrics

Seven years ago You chose to let me hang on hollow grounds Destroy what was yet to become Unbreakable So that you could keep Circling around from a nest to another You need to get ghost The creatures of the past walking beside me Showing the way, the directions to take And for this one time In this crowning moment I want to separate the foe from the hero I can feel the white light Dying down in my fragile and forgotten body I will never be the same again You contaminated me When I was at my weakest Vague purposes A milestone of mine was a steppingstone for you What I tell you now, Carve it to your fucking mind I will never let it go You took everything I value in life First time for everything But this sure as hell was the last for me The pain Brighter days are dust in the wind You stole my time I would even give my tongue to get it back Words ain’t gonna help me find myself from this labyrinth of deception I want to fall asleep Knowing that I have days before me I close my eyes and hope you wake up Seven years ago you already lived my life In a heartbeat it was gone Seven years ago you already lived my life In a heartbeat it was gone

Through Defeat 04:35
lyrics

When the days are darkened A new breed is born The strong become weakened Struck down to one knee Gazing to the heavens To see a glimpse of a silver lining The way the world once stood Exists no more Catastrophic incidents Will end an era for someone There’s water everywhere What do we have to gain In order to help the helpless Those in struggle, those in need for a better tomorrow We’ve got to fight for this We need to get back on our feet We need each other To be born again from the ashes filling the air Give me a word and say I won’t be left alone in this mess In the moment of weakness We need to wipe the faces of strangers In the breaking of dawn As the light finally shows a peak of itself The sight of a total devastation is etching, overwhelming You need to take our hands cause we are still shaking of fear Broken moon draws a tide to itself Flood! Flood! Flood There is water everywhere We are only individuals Walking on the face of the earth Taking little steps Until we hit the shore With the burning debris and day dreams torn No one to lift us up We cry for helping hand Helping hand

The morning extends its arms Refuse to take what it offers Lifeless light paints the walls A hard beginning makes a perfect ending This dawn gives a new chance Will you take it? Form the chaos, build it up and claim the power The ruins and the ghosts Are far behind you A day of turmoil in your hands It can be found by crossing over Here’s a toast to the nights we won’t remember With the friends we will never forget WE ARE here for this UNITED against the legion WE ARE venom for the weak UNDEFEATED, united WE ARE here for this UNITED against the legion WE ARE venom for the weak UNDEFEATED, united Never give up and never give in Give them hell with the burn within Night is your bitch you fucking paid for it It’s here and now so make it count For this time that we are given Live the moment don’t look back Tear the walls down surf the crowd Fuck the rules just make us proud When the night falls The armada appears Children of the night come together Hangovers will last a day But the memories we make tonight will last a lifetime WE ARE here for this UNITED against the legion WE ARE venom for the weak UNDEFEATED, united WE ARE here for this UNITED against the legion WE ARE venom for the weak UNDEFEATED, united As one we are Unstoppable, unfuckwithable Strength in numbers is control over this Our family means that no one gets left behind With these words in mind Fuck this place up! WE ARE here for this UNITED against the legion WE ARE venom for the weak UNDEFEATED, united WE ARE here for this UNITED against the legion WE ARE venom for the weak UNDEFEATED, united

Out Came the Wolves... 04:08

From now on I lay in the shadows These traps are set once more As far as I know The purity will blacken again Harvest the fields of this golden age Without true purpose I’m deceived By the ones who once Once set the walls up I’m the one pushed against the wall Out came the wolves These lives are filled with lies Burned for nothing You’re not the only one Don’t walk out Don’t turn a blind eye Don’t walk out Don’t walk away Now two of us stand on the edge Purifying rain will wash our faces The paintings will soon be wiped away And the true colors will shine once again Look into my eyes and say it loud That you’re not the one to blame Undisguise yourself Out came the wolves These lives are filled with lies Burned for nothing You’re not the only one Out came the wolves These lives are filled with lies Burned for nothing You’re not the only one Which side you’re on? This kind of life, Life is worth nothing Finally I’m relentlessly Fighting for nothing

Event Horizon 04:55

Sinister wind brings the final breath To this smothering city of fear Collective regret made them face The impending tempest Everyone looks so pale and faceless Pale and faceless The old haven has no walls It has no walls Time has come for father to clear the path For mother to show her wrath Give us the black rain we deserve In the eye of the storm you can be heard The brooding sky, it’s getting grimmer Dance in the rain turns into a hide and seek Untouchable, we have all lived in illusion Now we bow in front of the storm The city’s glow is a light house guiding its way to shore Departing water is dragging the shoreline under her fierce care The breeze before rain is a siren’s cunning call to arms She summons her forces to pull us back where we belong The brooding sky, it’s getting grimmer Dance in the rain turns into a hide and seek Untouchable, we have all lived in illusion Now we bow in front of the storm Can’t escape it They stare at me Bodies on the ground I’m losing it They scream at me Now Silence breaks!
