Haunted Minds

Strong is your insatiable desire To reach out for the promised destiny Major goals are always in the distance Hard to find and clearly far away Lost in time throughout the endless journey Lost in time in pain and deprivation Lost in time – it's truly a high price you have to pay To obtain all your dreams Over mountains you climbed Over oceans you sailed On the quest for your high destiny In the deep hidden sites And in dangerous heights You have found only vast misery Weakened – the original desire Faded is the longing destiny Painful is this miserable ending This world is not the place you're looking for Wasted years you've spent with pointless wandering Wasted years alone in mental darkness Wasted years have passed but for your sake it's not too late To awake from your dream Over mountains you climbed Over oceans you sailed On the quest for your high destiny In the deep hidden sites And in dangerous heights You have found only vast misery Over mountains you climbed Over oceans you sailed On the quest for your high destiny In the deep hidden sites And in dangerous heights You have found only vast Over mountains you climbed Over oceans you sailed Though your quest hasn't come to an end But the true destiny Lies too close to be seen You will find it deep inside of your heart

The flowers of roses bloom nevermore again The flowers of roses bloom only for a day Everything is easy in the spring of life Questions of the future (are) far away But the looming winter comes relentlessly Longing for lost youth grows on and on Of no avail! Riding on a journey now for centuries Searching for a hope for all mankind Promised is the water of deliverance Still the secret fountain is concealed And it will stay! Rise up high into the glowing sky The promises unbroken Rise and fall into oblivion The doubts remain unspoken Decades full of wisdom and experience Memories for one's entire life Blown away in seconds like an autumn leaf When they heed the great seducer's call You stupid fools! Rise up high into the glowing sky The promises unbroken Rise and fall into oblivion The doubts remain unspoken Youth is only an illusion No escape from Father Time Youthful vigour and attraction None of this is worth a dime The flowers of roses bloom nevermore again The flowers of roses bloom only for a ... The flowers of roses bloom nevermore again The flowers of roses bloom only for a day Rise up high into the glowing sky The promises unbroken Rise and fall into oblivion The doubts remain unspoken

Where the truth is bigger than lies You will find deception within Where the care is only disguise Lies the unconceivable sin Never bound to the rules Never stopped by a bad conscience Take me away from my sinful existence Take me away and deliver the world from me Where the shades glow stronger than light You'll find only darkness within Where the Good and Evil unite Lies the unforgivable sin Never felt the remorse Never served a divine order Take me away from my sinful existence Take me away and deliver the world from me I found the abomination Inside of my wicked soul In God's self-denying absence I sinned under my control Take me away from my sinful existence Take me away and deliver the world Take me away from my sinful existence Take me away and deliver the world from me

Mors ultima linea rerum est Mors ultima linea rerum est Mors ultima linea rerum est A dire shadow has captured my ego It started harming my confidence I never doubted my decent appearance But now I see every single flaw Merciless attitudes of society take control Mirror, mirror on the wall Tell me what you see All the years gone by I lived cluelessly Mirror, mirror on the wall Don't you speak to me? I can bear the pain and the verity Mors ultima linea rerum est Mors ultima linea rerum est The imperfection has taken my being Infected even my heart and soul The inner voices they tell me to counter And cut the flaws out of my disguise No remorse, no regret – for the perfect life – perfection Mirror, mirror on the wall Tell me what you see All the years gone by I lived cluelessly Mirror, mirror on the wall Don't you speak to me? I can bear the pain and the verity The perfect future lies in the present day We failed to look beyond the clouded scope of time Mirror, mirror on the wall Tell me what you see Your picture is concealed and also shadowy Mirror, mirror on the wall Don't you speak to me? The only voice I hear is insanity Mors ultima linea rerum est Mors ultima linea rerum est

Wide is the mind of the dreamers Narrow the one of the fools Stupidity or insanity Makes no difference from most points of view What makes a man a believer? What makes a man just a freak? If you stand in the row and you go with the flow You can shelter your madness for good Higher and higher the endless desire is rising Higher and higher the venomous fire is burning Hidden dreams and hidden treasures Hidden secrets everywhere In the end you're building castles in the air Broken hopes and broken pleasures Broken chances everywhere In the end you're building castles in the air Deaf to all serious warnings Totally blind to the truth And with every attack there is no turning back You will tear down the walls of the past Trapped in a self-made obsession Of an illusory world What you tried to achieve was a cruel misbelieve But you never accepted your fault Higher and higher the endless desire is rising Higher and higher the venomous fire is burning Hidden dreams and hidden treasures Hidden secrets everywhere In the end you're building castles in the air Broken hopes and broken pleasures Broken chances everywhere In the end you're building castles in the air All desires will burst in disorder of ashes and dust Blinded by greed and evil success Illusions will fail and fall into the void Hidden dreams and hidden treasures Hidden secrets everywhere In the end you're building castles in the air Broken hopes and broken pleasures Broken chances everywhere In the end you're building castles in the air The castles are taken down! The castles are taken down!

Behind the mask of a ragged and unsightly creature Lies a soft nature of kindness and virginity Physically strong but inside only anxious and fragile Left to himself in a heartless and ignorant world What is truth – what illusion? What is life – in conclusion? What is love – without heart beat? What is humanity? Lively and bright – shimmering flame that is burning inside Dark as the night – that is the image, the mirror replied You are safe with the lack of the knowledge of your entity There is no way to turn back if the innocence will fall from thee Millions of frauds in the world – arrogant and complacent Never they see themselves truthfully for what they are What is truth – an illusion? What is life – the conclusion? What is love – without heart beat? Just inhumanity! Lively and bright – shimmering flame that is burning inside Dark as the night – that is the image, the mirror replied You are safe with the lack of the knowledge of your entity There is no way to turn back if the innocence will fall from thee Lively and bright – shimmering flame that is burning inside Dark as the night – that is the image, the mirror replied You were safe with the lack of the knowledge of your entity There was no way to turn back Once the innocence (had) fallen from thee

This is a never-ending story But no fair maiden and no king Only the jealous human nature This is the story of the Ring The Ring was forged in pure affection But led to pain and broken faith And here began the long misfortune The Ring has fallen in disgrace A pledge of deceit between fellow man Symbol of faith and betrayal Used as seduction in every plan The ancient Ring is still shining... Bright as a star – red glowing fire Only the hearts burn in the flames of the Ring The Ring was strict and unrelenting And turning passion into hate As long as man won't stop the craving The Ring fulfills its given fate Acts of abuse and adultery Long is the list of offences Sinister fortune and misery The ancient Ring is still shining... Bright as a star – red glowing fire Only the hearts burn in the flames of the Ring Just a deed of charity Can reverse the sorcery And the dark infernal red Turns to pure and sparkling white instead Bright as a star – white glowing fire Innocent hearts rise in the shining Bright as a star – white glowing fire Innocent hearts rise in the shine of the Ring

Disappointing failures – painful mistakes I really tried to stay strong Visions of the future – confident hope All my intentions were wrong Up and down Round and round Hit me to the ground Rise and fall Through it all I remain standing tall Life is only a misery Wake me up – from reality Faith and hope, they have gone astray Wake me up – I can't stand this day Endless heavy suffering – continuous pain I can no longer pretend No apparent reasons – simply bad fate I really long for the end Day and night Keep the fight It will be alright Tell me how Tell me why I believed this shameless lie Life is only a misery Wake me up – from reality Faith and hope, they have gone astray Wake me up – I can't stand this day In the deepest dark the shadows cannot rise The flame of hope glows hidden to the eyes Life is only a misery Wake me up – from reality Faith and hope, they have gone astray Wake me up – I can't stand this day Life is only a misery Wake me up – from reality Faith and hope haven't gone astray Wake me up – on another day

Don't you see the stunning work of art? Don't you see the beauty in your heart? Simple are the minds of all the fools Limited their skills and mental tools Don't you see the full, entire sense? Don't you see the touch of innocence? Narrow minded whiners with their doubts Unable to be equal to break out They don't own the power to create For only the art's sake The power to create the Beautiful The art will turn the scales And lift the hidden veils The art will turn into the Beautiful Blessed are the meek with open minds Blessed are all of those who see the signs Cast away the limiting control Free are only the creative souls Cause they own the power to create For only the art's sake The power to create the Beautiful The art will turn the scales And lift the hidden veils The art will turn into the Beautiful Art is complete True masterpiece Beauty revealed Spirit released Cause we own the power to create For only the art's sake The power to create the Beautiful The art will turn the scales And lift the hidden veils The art will turn into the Beautiful

When the shadows appear on the distant horizon Clouds darken the sky yet still far away It's a matter of time 'til you're facing the morrow Try to run faster but there's no escape Time has no key Cast is the given lifetime The broken steps into the darkness The final path you walked alone No calming words, no parting glances Just find your peace where you may roam – all alone The last fight that we fight it is always the hardest Never easy but sometimes even unfair When you notice that winning was never an option It is mostly too late to break out of the game Life is the key Unlock the truthful meaning The broken steps into the darkness The final path you walked alone No calming words, no parting glances Just find your peace where you may roam – all alone The broken steps into the darkness The final path you walked alone No calming words, no parting glances Just find your peace where you may roam The broken steps into the darkness The final path you walked alone No calming words, no parting glances Just find your peace where you may roam – all alone

Silence falls from the darkness of the night I am caught in this moment until dawn's early light Yesterday's heavy burdens fall asleep I am bound to the memories that I try to keep Over and over again Under the moon Under the stars We cannot hide from who we are Yet darkest dreams let all the demons rise and haunt me Deep in the heart Deep in the mind We cannot leave our fears behind Yet darkest dreams let all the demons rise and haunt me My haunted mind Primal fears are beginning to take shape I am lost in the moonlight with no chance to escape Over and over again Under the moon Under the stars We cannot hide from who we are Yet darkest dreams let all the demons rise and haunt me Deep in the heart Deep in the mind We cannot leave our fears behind Yet darkest dreams let all the demons rise and haunt me Out of the darkness Shadows awake Shadows escape from Out of my darkness Into the night Darken my light Under the moon Under the stars We cannot hide from who we are Yet darkest dreams let all the demons rise and haunt me Deep in the heart Deep in the mind We cannot leave our fears behind Yet darkest dreams let all the demons rise and haunt me My haunted mind
