The Last Light
05:30
|
|||
The final light
The flame, the spirit
It has got you so far.
Put up a fight,
The gray
It won't stop
You just pass it on
Let me be the enemy of the noose and the fading will
and the hand that catches the falling pieces
One final moment
Look deep into yourself
Tell me, just what you find
And remember the light
All the years
You got through to this point
Tell me, just what you find
And endure the night
Breathe just once more
When you think you can't push through
Dusk far gone
Embrace The Light
The final light
The flame, the spirit
Dawn is near
Endure the night
Let me be the enemy of the noose and the fading will
And the hand that catches the falling pieces
Let me be the enemy of the noose and the fading will
Let me breathe when you can't
And let me see when you can't go on
Dawn is near
Endure the night

Cold Embrace
05:25
|
|||
If only I could hear your voice
once more
See the light shine through you
One last time
But I guess fate had other plans
But I guess you couldn‘t bare it
Any longer than you already had
But I guess fate had other plans
The shore embraced what‘s left of
you
WHY?
Why the cold embrace?
WHY?
Why the cold embrace?
If only I could hear your voice
Once more
See the light shine through you
One last time
So I guess I am just left here
All alone with no reinforcement
So I guess your light didn‘t shine
Bright enough through your
Darkness
So I guess this is my
Last goodbye
So I guess this is my
Last goodbye
WHY?
Why the easy way out?
WHY?
Why the easy way out?
Bliss left your heart
Long before you took the step
Life left your heart
Long before you made it end

My Empty Grave
07:16
|
|||
NO!
No, I won‘t give in
All alone
Down there
With that heavy
Anchor
Tying me down
Longing for the sky
But I dare not spread my wings
With every passing day
My mind gets more distorted
Longing for the sky
But I dare not spread my wings
The blue moves further away
Chorus:
A quiet sigh
In darkest hour
Drowning myself
In memories
My silent prison
My empty grave
I‘ll lose myself
If I can‘t break those chains
Vultures high
Drawing circles above my head
Step by step
I make my way
But I dare not spread my wings
For I fear my freedom
For I‘m scared of what might lie
Beyond the horizon
Silence
Chorus
Vulture‘s eyes
Watching over every step
Every stare
Cursing my blood
As sunlight is fading
Coldness creeping into me
Silence
WILL I EVER LEARN?

Eye Of The Storm
06:50
|
|||
An impotent echo
Wilting leaves on the last tree
Your tree
A whisper
Ringing like thunder in my ears
And yet all that‘s left is silence
Giving in to the raging maelstorm
The tides crush every hope for
Salvation left within me
My ship is on a course
No return, no land in sight
Waves crashing down around me
Praying won‘t make it stop
Every second I am pulled ever closer
To the eye of the storm
Chorus:
A whisper
Ringing like thunder in my ears
And yet all that‘s left is silence
Wilting leaves on the last tree
Your tree
Another dark cloud approaching
I‘m holding on for my dear life
I have no more strength to give
No more life left in me
A glimpse of light there in the
Distance
But it‘s so far away
Every second I am pulled ever closer
To the eye of the storm
Chorus

Path To Eternity
06:29
|
|||
Stepping over the chains that tie me
Down
There is no crown for me to reach
Stepping over chains that tie me to
My anchor
There is no mercy left for me
Discarding my burnt wings
There‘s nothing left to reach
There is no way I can live like this
It was my mistake, if I did not see
The way you tortured yourself
I‘m keeping my mind under control
But I can‘t live like this
If it was truly my mistake
Chorus:
I just want to feel alive
I just want to feel like me again
I just want to feel alive
Have a free thought inside of me
Keep me numb!
Keep the demons under control!
Under the vulture‘s gaze there is
No shelter
Damned, damned to wander on the
Path to eternity
No return!
Keep my mind down, keep it under
Control
I just cannot live with this guilt
Keep my mind down, keep me sedated
I just can‘t stand this guilt
Keep the voices locked up
But my thoughts as well
I just cannot live like this
My mind wants to soar
But will it get back its wings?
I‘ll survive but what‘s the price?
Chorus
Keep me numb!
Keep the demons under control!
Under the vulture‘s gaze there is no
Shelter
Damned, damned to wander on the
Path to eternity

All The Same
04:49
|
|||
Watch the days pass by
One just like the other
Rehearsed motions
No spirit left within
From the outside
Just ashes
Where once fires burned
Watch the days pass by
All the same
Rehearsed emotions,
No spirit left within
Just spectres where the fires of
ambition once raged
My body just revolts
And me, just a witness
My body just revolts
And me, just a witness
My silent prison
Bare ruins crumbling to dust
Watch the days pass by
One just like the other
Rehearsed motions
No spirit left within
From the outside
Just ashes
Where once fires burned
Sunlight is torture
Talking is a challenge
My insides burn And
I‘m ready to give it all up
But the voices are no longer
The captain of this ship
I am neither but who cares anymore
They gave up on me so long ago
Why should I even hold onto this
Slim chance

Isolation
05:34
|
|||
Now
I can barely leave
my own head
I haven't seen this world
Through the eyes
Of a feeling man
I haven't seen this world
Through my soul
I havent seen this world
Through the cracks
In these walls
My core is buried
In the grave beside you
I can't see
I can't feel
What I used to be
My anchor to this world
Silence
My only companion
Just one voice
To pierce the veil
Silence
My only companion
Just one voice
To get through to me
Now that the last spark has died
Put an end to this
