[Instrumental]

VERSE 1 Are you crying cold and lonely? Are you reaching out to nowhere? I’ve been called by your deception, And I know your situation… CHORUS 1 I’m your devil I’m your shadow I’m your glory Please don’t worry; I’m your devil I’m your seller/cellar I’m your garden In this barren land… VERSE 2 Like a flower in the desert You just need a rainy present, All your roots are dry and hungry Drink the wine or die in Heaven CHORUS 2 I’m your devil I’m your shadow I’m your glory Please don’t worry; I’m your devil I’m your seller I’m your fountain In this barren land… I’m your devil I’m here, wake up Drink your darkness In this nightmare CHORUS 3 I’m your devil I’m your shadow I’m your seller Buy your soul or you’ll stay dead

VERSE 1 I play, you cheat, And the world still spins; You shoot, I die Another round; This place is yours, You bought my skin; I close my eyes As I fall down CHORUS I am nothing I am no one I am darkness I’m a question VERSE 2 You live, I die, No turning back; You’ll bring me back, And suck my light; You have a throne, A paper world; Someday I’ll burn Your heaven down
4.
In The Ocean 04:53
VERSE 1 You know, life is mysterious, she can tear all crowns; when you feel like a hero you're just king of clowns; CHORUS 1 Raining in the ocean, raining in my soul, sinking in the ocean, drifting in my soul VERSE 2 You can rot in hatred, you can bloat with love, they're just two of many ways to disguise your void Sin after joy, joy after sin; smile after tear, tear after smile; world after void, void after world; dark after light, dark takes it all...
5.
VERSE 1 Wake up boy, Sleeping time is done; Wake up boy, My dead body is on the floor; Wake up boy, Now this house is done; Wake up boy, Now you’re on your own CHORUS 1 And I’m really sorry I was sick and tired; And I’m really sorry I was sick and tired VERSE 2 Breathe again, This is not your fault; Breathe again, In spite of this raging storm; Breathe again, Though your heart feels cold; Breathe again, You’ll feel all alone CHORUS 2 And I’m really sorry [You won’t understand it] I was sick and tired; [You won’t understand it] And I’m really sorry [You won’t understand it] I was sick and tired [You won’t understand it]

Funeral 06:56
VERSE 1 Who will give me back all my time? Who will give me back my spirit? I am sick and tired of waiting, I am sick and tired of thinking Where am I? Where’s my heart? Where am I? Where’s my mind? CHORUS Fragile existence, deep the wounds; Futile our efforts to keep us safe; Fragile existence, deep the wounds; Futile our efforts to keep us safe; VERSE 2 Feel anxiety gripping my soul Like a hungry dog with a bone, Tell me there’s a hope in the end, Something just to sleep well today
7.
VERSE 1 From the sea of life To the ship of fools, You’ll go deep inside Falling in a tomb Down there you’ll be alone, Darkness filling your bones, You’ll have to earn your own soul, There’s no home for the lost VERSE 2 From a tired heart To a smoking gun, It’s an endless mile And you’re on the run You heard everyone talk, They were making you crawl, Like a castle of words Someday it will just burst CHORUS I am dancing on the graveyard In this valley of defeat, I just keep on singing my song This is all there is for me; I am dancing on the graveyard You just die or crave for more, Don’t know what I’m looking after, Don’t know what I’m fighting for
8.
VERSE 1 Sometimes it’s so dull, Patience is so strange, Maybe I should go And leave you in this place; I accepted this, I am in your Hell, You don’t need to shout, I’m the one to blame; People dwell on words, Truth is really gone, Love is just the shape Of this empty home; I’m not your sun, I’m just an empty sky, Without blinding stars And no misguiding light; CHORUS 1 We’re just running In a dark room, [and we pray, and we cry] and we pray for a bright, charming future; [and we live, and we die] We’re just running Towards nowhere, [and we pray, and we cry] And our words will betray our intentions; [and we live, and we die] VERSE 2 I am all alone, In the wilderness; A pack of hungry wolves Eat all of my flesh This is just a dream, Now I’m in a hall, All my demons greet, And my angels fall; There’s a creaking door Right inside my home, Will I free the beast? Will I praise the whore? Dreams are the domain Of our lives’ blindside, Gods are made of fear, Fear of what’s inside I need to sleep So I can re-align; I have some urges That I left there behind; I’m going down To my shrine of dirt; Back to the shadows, This is what I am; CHORUS 2 We’re just running In a dark room, And we pray for a thing that we don’t know; I’m just running Towards nowhere, But in dreams I’ll be kissing the ground, Screaming out loud, Running with wolves, Eating the sun,
9.
VERSE 1 You walked into the gloomy nights You sucked some venom from their hearts You think that this is all you have Someday your world will break apart CHORUS 1 Who will heal the wounded healer? [Who will heal you, wounded healer?] Who will wash away his sadness? [Who will wash away your sadness?] Who will save the wounded healer? [Who will save you, wounded healer?] Who will wake him from this nightmare? [Who will wake you from this nightmare?] But you’re on your own [On your own, on your own, on your own] (X4) VERSE 2 You’re just a hero and a slave The more you give, the more they take And every time you feel alone Your life is just your heavy load
10.
VERSE 1 Running from the spirits Running from the void Running from the secrets Running from my world; In the house of silence In an empty sky There´s a crying widow And a mouth with flies CHORUS 1 Ghostly mother Ghostly father Ghostly hungry gods; Ghostly mother Ghostly father Ghostly choking hands VERSE 2 Running from the circle Running while I can In a house of charcoal Everyone will burn Will I make a difference? Will I fall once more? Will you eat my childhood? Will you build my wall? CHORUS 2 Ghostly mother Ghostly father Ghostly hungry gods; Ghostly mother Ghostly father Ghostly choking hands Ghostly mother Ghostly father Ghostly sanctuary; Ghostly mother Ghostly father Ghostly broken home; Let me go (let me walk) Let me go (let me be) Let me go (let me live) Let me go (let me die) Everybody is waiting Everybody is dying Every child is sleeping Every god is crawling Ghostly mother Ghostly father Ghostly dreams of hope; Ghostly mother Ghostly father Ghostly work machine…
11.
VERSE 1 Happy days are over And the sun will sleep today, All my thoughts are running In a room with blinding haze, Words I spoke are just The ashes that lay on the ground, It’s my rainy season And I’m naked in the mud CHORUS Na na na na I’ll go away Na na na na Shadows and grace VERSE 2 Looking from the outside I can see the normal thing, All these busy places With its smiley smell of fear, Heading back to nowhere, T o another starting point, Walking straight to darkness I will understand someday
12.
Blur The Sky 05:27
VERSE 1 Guilty of this pleasure, Of this cruel sensation; All the doors are open In this head so broken; I know this will haunt you, I know this will hurt you, Look at all the silence Turning into violence And it’s hard Hard for me Just to shake off the filth, Really hard Hard to be Just so far, far from me VERSE 2 Lived in indecision, Died in contemplation, I have been your savior Being my own failure, Suicidal hero Trades his life for fear, All these years of silence Can’t compete with madness And it’s hard Hard for me Just to shake off the guilt, Really hard Hard to be Just so far, far from me CHORUS I wanna blur the sky, I wanna kill the light, Listen to me right now, I’m gonna blur the sky, VERSE 3 All my fires burning, All my faces melting, See your twisted shadow Dancing like an arrow; Suicidal hero Has to learn from evil, All these years of sadness Can’t compete with madness
13.
VERSE 1 You’ve been taken down By all the things you think you need; Time is running and you really Want to escape from here; Now your heart is choking And you want to rip it out; You just stapled yourself To a paper burial ground; VERSE 2 You’re too scared to jump Into the land of the unknown; Feel the sting of shallow words Go deep inside your bones; Now you’re really naked And without the things you own; It’s just like a suicide But life goes on and on; CHORUS 1 Na na na na na It will be a frenzied ride Na na na na na You will be without your mask Na na na na na It will be a frenzied ride Na na na na na Let your madness be your guide VERSE 3 Stolen revolutions With their self-proclaimed gods; All your children have the curse, They’ll suffer vicious trials; Rationality is just a Weapon full of rust; Tear the curtain, burn the stage, This game was just a fraud Madness is an option From a blurry picture; You can ride to somewhere, But you’ll end up inside yourself Madness is a picture From a blurry option
14.
Karma 05:33
VERSE 1 Do yourself a favor Pay attention, Shut your mouth And don’t ask for redemption, It’s not a matter Of good and evil, You’re caught in the walls Of your ego CHORUS Karma, karma Leaving you hungry, Karma, karma Tears up your spirit, Karma, karma Crushing your ego, Karma, karma Look at the mirror VERSE 2 In the jungle Of creation, In its own and Cruel dimensions, You may make some Gods and demons, You may also Buy some symptoms
15.
Bliss 04:22
VERSE 1 All the colors have stained my face, And the waters will break my vows; I am walking through the ashes Of a garden that’s sleeping now CHORUS I wished I could be just enough for you I wished I could be something in your world, And I scream and I die and I’m still a lie, And I wish I could fall back to myself; VERSE 2 I have chosen this crooked road, Just to dig up all my bones; It’s so lonely on the outside, On the edges of the void
16.
VERSE 1 The lights went out, The book is burned; There is no sign Nowhere to go; A darkened road, My ceiling’s low; This land is dry, My feet are sore; So here I am, About to fall; A sudden death, A soothing stone CHORUS Blooming out of season, Blooming without a reason, Blooming out of season, Breaking out this prison VERSE 2 A midnight trance, A dance of ghosts; Whatever comes Will surely go; Be sure to flow, The tide will grow; In such a place Is hard to float; My roots are cold, I’m out of trail; The end is just Another tale II VERSE 3 Let me rest today, I need some sleep; All your futile words Won’t bring me peace; Hear the weeping wind, It’s calling me; One more chance to breath To die and to live CHORUS 2 At the end of the day At the end of the dream At the end of the day At the end of it all VERSE 4 You can scratch my name, Go ahead; I’m far from all your pain, Far from your grip; Nothing really moves, Nothing dies; Home is just the world Behind your eyes III VERSE 5 Time is running, Just like make up, Clocks are marching Without mercy; I’m a shadow In your mirror, I’m your monster, Come and spread your wings; VERSE 6 I know you’ve suffered, You have endured, Seal tomorrow, Blow up today; Blurry mantra In your soul, Hope and anger, Together as one; CHORUS Like a bullet (X4) VERSE 7 Time is running, Running blind, There’s no shelter There’s only rain; Flowers blooming As you rise, Wake the hollow Come and spread your wings;

about
