Heavy eyes on the road of life Cities pass me by like a flash of who I used to be The sky is bleeding but I cannot see Ironically you spoke about painting my picture and colouring me in But the picture you drew didn't include me, it was only you I guess I'm just so fucking tired It's like I'm daydreaming at night and sleepwalking at day I can't find my pace nor the strength to stay You always said I should be open, honest and sincere I guess this is a start So for the next 40 minutes, I will speak from the heart And the truth is, maybe I don't deserve to be happy Light up the darkness! Everywhere I turn, I see landscapes in grey It's a colourless world when the blind lead the way Our endeavours won't carry us back The essence of hope still lies on the track Will we see a new day in this dead and filthy world? I hear the sound of a thousand screams Break through the silence of shattered dreams Don't ever stray from the path they say Don't you diverge from the masses I have seen the rise of a thousand suns in front of me But I never felt the warming touch from the sky above me I have seen the rise of a thousand suns in front of me But I never felt the warming touch from the sky above me Will the dark clouds swallow me? Will the dark clouds swallow me? I feel the sickness of this world feeding on me My horizon will fade away Light of tomorrow come today And as the sun slowly sets tonight I feel the dark clouds swallow me A last string of hope gets buried Death runs in my black veins Death runs in my black veins I have seen the rise of a thousand suns in front of me But I never felt the warming touch from the sky above me Will the dark clouds swallow me? Will the dark clouds swallow me? Let the light of tomorrow come today We've been hanging on forever on a spark that never came Let the light of tomorrow come today We've been hanging on forever on a spark that never came Let the light of tomorrow come today We've been hanging on forever on a spark that never came Let the light of tomorrow come today We've been hanging on forever on a spark that never came

Sing from the heart Let them hear what our love is made of My heart's afflicted; everywhere I turn, it reminds me of you How we could write our headlines and make the world spin just for us But we are not in motion, everything I feel is tied to our past And even though I do regret saying all those hurtful things to you I can't ignore the fact That we've drifted off where there's no turning back I lay my head down low Keep hiding my heart away forever this way The passion that we had inside I will never regret I learned to live, to forgive and forget The fire inside my heart will never be dimmed But it won't burn for you and me My heart will not be compromised I won't drag my feet to a deadbeat My heart will not be compromised I won't drag my feet to a deadbeat Let me hold your hand one last time Let me lead you on your way back home to the age of your innocence I'll let you hold my heart one last time As you slowly turn away from here towards a life without me Sing from the heart Let them hear what our love is made of I lay my head down low Keep hiding my heart away forever this way There is an ocean between us now But we can't swim with our heavy hearts I hear your words from the distance "I don't love you, not anymore" My heart will not be compromised I won't drag my feet to a deadbeat My heart will not be compromised I won't drag my feet to a deadbeat Let me hold your hand one last time Let me lead you on your way back home to the age of your innocence I'll let you hold my heart one last time As you slowly turn away from here towards a life without me There's an ocean between us We can't swim with our heavy hearts I will carry the burden to the bottom of our regrets So take a final breath and let your lungs be filled with the death of our love

I will keep you alive Dark clouds above you Soaring on the sky like the breath of our dying days I know this world can spin you around Faster than your heart can stand its ground You always had the world on your shoulders And above you carried the clouds But you can't keep your head under water And still expect us to hear your despair Hear my voice through the discord Breathe in, breathe out Even though it hurts on the inside I know that here at the end of the road Your love will shine on Chin up, stay strong Never let the world tell you wrong I know that here at the end of the road Your spark will shine through The fluid in your lungs weigh you down like an anchor of death You must reach up for the surface I know this world has darkened you Carry on the light in your eyes, I will guide you back You are not alone The sound of your innocence drowns tonight Let it immerse to the discord The surface of life will reflect our lights It's the essence for bringing you back As the water fills your lung with despair you sink to a bottomless hole of depression The choirs of chastity sings your name, but beneath the surface, you cannot hear And I know it's hard to look up when the world stares you back But if you follow the sound of absolution, you will find your feet on a solid ground And I will sweep my arms around you and keep you safe for as long as you need me to And as your heavy heart sinks to the bottom, I know that life will lead the way Life will guide you home Breathe in, breathe out Even though it hurts on the inside I know that here at the end of the road Your love will shine on Chin up, stay strong Never let the world tell you wrong I know that here at the end of the road Your spark will shine through Don't speak a word of you letting go 'Cause I know you will make it through Don't close the light that will carry you 'Cause I know you will make it through Breathe in, breathe out

This is our legacy With the weight of the world on our tired shoulders We refuse to live our lives in the dark What we leave behind us is another dead heart left to rot Or will we mark our presence? Let's divide the masses To the ones who lead and to the ones who simply follow Who will live for tomorrow We'll turn it back around, we've strayed from our path and lost the track of being free I learned to live that facing the sun, shadows fall back behind me We live our lives underneath the burning sky with the weight of the world The weight of the world on our tired shoulders The sun will rise Keep facing the sky, don't close out your eyes We can't stay blind forever Set sail for a new horizon, the stars will guide No matter what lies in our way We'll lead, not follow the heavy hearts of our sorrow We'll turn it back around, we've strayed from our path and lost the track of being free I learned to live that facing the sun, shadows fall back behind me We live our lives underneath the burning sky with the weight of the world The weight of the world on our tired shoulders We walk down on the longest road for us to keep track of who we want to be Will we ever be free with our heavy burden? Here we stand At the top of the world with the wind in our back together We are invincible Here we stand At the top of the world with the wind in our back together We are invincible Show them our strength

Remember back in school when used to talk about where we would be in ten years? Seems like everyone took one step forward while we took two steps back It's not like I'm asking them to wait up, it's just Don't you have a feel like rewinding the fucking tape? Let's make a toast to the past Even though we knew at heart that it wouldn't last I'm holding on to the memories Do I have the best years behind me? I feel the time is running out We grew up, move on and never looking back And I guess I am scared that my life can't go back to those days When we were young and fucking careless We had the world right in front of us Planned out, all set, we were young at heart But as time goes by, I believe That the world is fucking spinning and it tears us apart I'm waiting on the next wave from my life To sweep me off my feet, I can barely hold on for myself What about my dreams? What about my dreams? It's the illusion of being free, it wraps up around me Holds me down and takes the breath right of me The hands of time is slowly tearing everything apart Will we stand together? Do you remember all these years ago? Shooting stars above, we're laying down below I remember our conversations We lived our lives in our imaginations The sand is pouring through the hourglass We're stuck at the bottom with no turning back At least for me 'cause all I can see Is the memories of everything we wished we could be I'm holding on to the thought of who we used to be I used to be the one that you'd turn to when your days were rough We were young at heart, careless and free, I miss the kids we used to be I used to be the one that you'd turn to when your days were rough We were young at heart, careless and free, I miss the kids we used to be Do I have the best years of my life right behind me? The hands of time is slowly tearing everything apart Will we stand together? Let us see another day We were young and reckless, and nothing would hold us down I miss the kids we used to be I miss the kids we used to be Nothing in this world will hold us down Nothing in this world will hold us down

Your words can't hurt me now I reminisce all the nights growing up that I spent all alone Except the presence of a stomach ache Feeling sick to the bone with the thought of the words they would say When will these days fucking go away? Being pushed all around to the ground I grow up Feeling nothing but a hole inside Because of you being heartless, I grow up being friendless And hopeless in a world that second guesses You fucking bully, you fucking prick You fucking coward, you fucking dick You left me down and out again I had to pick up the pieces To mend this broken heart of mine I had to rewind and start again You left me down and out again I had to pick up the pieces To mend this broken heart of mine I had to rewind and start again I didn't have the length nor the strength, I stood out from the crowd And fucking vultures circling all around I was 12 years old and at a point I remember thinking this is not the way I want my life to be told I have faced my demons I built me up when you were dragging me down And at the lowest point, I saw the shatters of a self-esteem Belonging to my broken dream Fuck you You left me down and out again I had to pick up the pieces To mend this broken heart of mine I had to rewind and start again You left me down and out again I had to pick up the pieces To mend this broken heart of mine I had to rewind and start again Because of you being heartless, I grow up being friendless And hopeless in a world that second guesses I was 12 years old and feeling lifeless Your words can't hurt me now

Let them sing on my final hour The sound of choirs lift me up from my sea of sins So let them sing the anthem of death This is my call to arms, a final gasping breath The wind is roaring through the anthem of my death And I hope that the choirs of absolution Will sing me to sleep when my time is over I know that my days are numbered Three, two, one, we won't live forever I'll go towards the neverending I lay my head to rest while the choirs are singing Let it be the sound that you remember When they sink me down underneath the ground Will the memories of me still weigh me down? Let it be the voice of absolution That sets me free Only darkness awaits for the ones who will not see Only death awaits for the weak Sing me to sleep I feel the cold surround me Wherever I may turn, I feel the wrath inside me I've been living my life without my eyes And I never felt the warmth from the sun on the skyline I am sorry for everything For every drop in the sea of my sins With the death grip on me I lay my head to rest while the choirs are singing Let it be the sound that you remember When they sink me down underneath the ground Will the memories of me still weigh me down? Let it be the voice of absolution that sets me free Only darkness awaits for the ones who will not see Let them sing, let their dead hearts sink here at the neverending I have a life, but I never been living So close my eyes 'cause I never been seeing It's like my heart has never been beating Sing me to sleep in the end, only death awaits Sing me to sleep

You walk alone I know the shadows of the world has taken over your empire of light You've seen the colours of the world burn out in the skyline This will not be Let the stars in the night light the path that you walk on Let it guide you back Put your faith in yourself, let the sun embrace you You've been living your life in the dark with the words in your head That you will never be enough, so instead You chose to let the wings of faith spread the shadows around Don't let the darkness get you You walk alone where the sun is still sleeping and your light is barely flickering In the wind of fragile hopes that tomorrow comes a new Wake up You can't bury down your face in the hands of your regrets It reflects your past It won't define who you are, where you're going from here on in Ignite the world If your eyes cannot see, I will set your heart free Let your soul ablaze If you turn to the light, your ghosts will fade away You walk alone where the sun is still sleeping and your light is barely flickering In the wind of fragile hopes that tomorrow comes a new Let it shine on you, I have seen it in your eyes That the sparkle of your life is running out For the love of God, don't let the darkness get you Fragile lights Don't let the shadows of disencourage Flicker your flame with its wings Let your fire be wild and proud Don't let the darkness get you Let me lift you up from the ground Let me wrap the warmth of my arms All around your shivering body Don't let the darkness get you Let me lift you up from the ground Let me wrap the warmth of my arms All around your shivering body Don't let the darkness get you

We've been living on the edge of our seats to feel alive We've been drinking from the fountain of our youth But we don't know that the water is poisoned One, two, one, two, three, go I hear the sirens of the world getting louder Here at the vicious streets of death Let the wings of virtue spread like a blanket of hope Let us stand beneath it I can't carry me up, fear weighs me down I am scared of the change inside of me I've seen a change in my eyes The evil that breaks the sickness inside of me I'm scared it will stay if the world won't change me Mark my words We will seek and destroy those who speak of false hope Mark my words I will keep holding on to your words of purity I closed my eyes and let the death caress my heart I gave it into hatred I can't carry me up, fear weighs me down I am nothing but a lost soul I've seen a change in my eyes I've seen a change in my eyes Wake up, don't let me drown in this I'm almost awake, don't let the time run out on me I've seen a change in my eyes The evil that breaks the sickness inside of me I'm scared it will stay if the world won't change me How the hell did we get so far? In the end, we are who we are I'm scared it will stay if the world won't change me Time is running away, time is running away Time is running away, time is running away Winter came and we followed the seasons We grow old, and for every reason We fell apart like the leaves here at ends fall We caved in though we knew we gave it all Winter came and we followed the seasons We grow old, and for every reason We fell apart like the leaves here at ends fall We caved in though we knew we gave it all

I'm standing on the edge of life With one foot in the air and the other one on the solid ground I always lived like there's no tomorrow, but lately, I've lived like there's no today And I can't think of a reason for me to stay Winter came and we follow the seasons We grew colder without a reason We should've kept us warm, but instead, we choose to bare arm And I just can't sleep, not after this The picture of us is fading like leaves on trees at ends fall In the end, what will be left? Will you remember me at all? We're no longer adolescent So I keep fighting the hands of time because time here is of the essence I remember a time so pure and I want it back Because I miss the feeling of being secure So hear my voice through the echoes, through the subtle wave of a discord It's a drop in the sea, but it's so important that you hear me The sun never felt so cold, how can we grow when the fields are dead? How can we love when we hate instead? A passion supposed to be timeless I left my heart being restless and sleepless You want forgiveness? Now I want time to go backwards To take back the years, I gave away to someone who's heartless But maybe I don't deserve to be happy? But since misery loves a company, why don't you stick around with me? And what you promised me from the start you break as easily as my heart So come and watch me fall apart Are you listening? Can you hear me out in this song? Let me open my heart up and tell you how we went from right to wrong Am I the one to blame? Did I start this fire by myself? Am I supposed to dream when these nights without you made me sleepless I just can't sleep, not after this, not after this Sing it I can't sleep with these voices inside I keep hearing of regrets like it's up to you to decide Put your hand on my mouth so I'll sleep Take my breath away like you always did Come smother me so I can sleep I am sick and tired and weak I am hopeless and fragile, a freak Will you sing me to sleep in the end Will it ever end? I am sick and tired and weak I am hopeless and fragile, a freak Will you sing me to sleep in the end Will it ever end?
