Gunned down, shots ring In the streets of the underground Foul play, you´re deceived No time to run and hide away One step ahead of you And I am always walking in the dark Lightning always strikes me twice First a flash and then electric sparks Sometimes when I think of you I can´t take it anymore It isn´t over now... But when you find the door Bodies aching, blood runs red, Raging madly while you scream and cry This isn't over yet until… until you say goodbye And when I'm all alone I start to think, I start to realize... That something here is very wrong, you better live I'll rather roll the dice 'Cause there's something in my twisted mind, I find the answer but I don't know why. I'm looking down 'cause now I'm standing up. Now the time has come to say goodbye.

Frozen lake 04:54
We just continue, a life in decay. Here’s where all the smileys are fake We have no anger, no more bitter tears, this is our own Frozen lake We’re moving slowly, a silent prayer, here with both our lives at stake This isn’t comfort, this isn’t care, this is our own, frozen lake
3.
It all ends 03:30
Whatever I feel Wind changes and Faith plays her cards Tried to turn the wheel Upside down to make it go backwards The end of the way Freezing cold, in the altogether I have to give in, faith’s at the end of her tether It all ends It all comes falling down Whatever I did It was never enough to make it Tried to raise my bid Faith must have felt that I faked it The end my dear faith As the soul pierce my own soul to I have seen the wrath of A fallen dream proven untrue Falling apart Piece by piece like clouds turn to raindrops Slowly depart, step by step not knowing where it stops

You miss the blue light from your touch color screen All pictures are black and white in your monochrome dream Long live the king you said and hail to the chief But all the kings are dead and all the presidents are thieves Oh can you hear, oh can you hear the sirens call We are heading for our last and final fall Oh can you hear, oh can you hear the sirens scream This its the last one, it’s the end of our dream… The final dream We looked away in the moment, we should have not We looked away and claimed, that we had forgot We are so modern you said, all the comfort’s here to stay But our modern world is dead and all comfort’s blown away

Time 04:26
Staggering through the desert, in this mighty wasted land Life as we know it fades away, like footprints in the sand Water slipped through my fingers, and make my soul run dry Wind and dust I bow my head, to tell another lie Time won’t wait for no one, so it won’t wait for me Time won’t wait for no one, time just time will be Time won’t wait for no one, and it won’t wait for you Time make no exceptions, time to time is true Nothing here seem broken though, it all has been bent out of shape The land and the forest and the sea, it has all been raped But the sun still in its place, burning flaming hot Time is all that is left right now, time is all I got

Blood Red 03:50
Do as I say, don’t look away. Do as you’re told, don’t follow the stray Step in and free your soul, your body and mind. Leave your old self behind Under a blood red sky. Into a blood red sea Blood on hands blood on me It led you here, to this end. Rules are guidelines, they're all there to bend Feel nothing, fear’s for the week, no regret you were told. No return from the old Under a blood red sky, Into a blood red sea. On the blood red ground Blood on hands blood on me My stain, it is all my sin Where shall I, start to begin What’s my pleasure, and where's my guilt Is it pain or is it… just relief Forgive me

The dark comes, like honey The sound of sunsets and silverscreens Can you feel the pain? Faith lost Got to crawl away Empty faces will never stay Like you I fail and fade to grey Will you learn to find love in desolation? Will you learn to carry on? Will you learn to find love in isolation? Will you learn to stay alive? Red lips Black stockings Electric night falls, we fade away Can you feel my pain? Shut down, bring the other flame Slowly falling, we're made the same I cannot race to win this game Wrapped in black Secrets crystallized in fear And the faceless man smiles again Fall back into the dream once more Black sleep crawling on the floor Tearing my glowing lips all sore
8.
I’m watching as it goes Enter through my skin, a story 'bout to begin Filled with flaws and sins of old crashing at the shore A wave too bold to handle, and I promise nevermore Cover me, from the rise and fall Defy me, in the rise and fall Release me, to my rise and fall Deny me, as I stand before you and bless you with the truth Years... are for the taking Souls are left behind, we are all so blind Walking eerie paths of life, the time go by as we fade Racing 'round like no tomorrow, we’ll vanish in the shade Never ending game, those killing thoughts of blame Never ending story, no fame, no glory
