Through Painful Lanes

Did I care well of my soul In my empty hours? Did I really do my best To spread the word divine? I have reached a crossroad I've tasted the sin of man And I have a question now Who's the master I am serving? Knelt down, hands joined Staring at the top of the cross I let you down - hope is lost Don't want glory anymore What could I give more? I torn your grace apart... I met, at the crossroad The enemy within Then he marked my heart and faith With his burning tongue of fire Knelt down... Deep in my heart, there's a place No one knew about In which faith and devotion Were burning to the point Love was consumed... Love was consumed I had come to hate those sinners And the twisted face behind them I had awakened the beast The beast within! Knelt down...

You and I used to be like brothers Two fools sharing the same anger No need to talk to understand each other But friendship couldn’t restrain any longer Wishing i were someone special Try again to make me grow up You were my Abel, I was your Cain Looking for my own identity Who else could you be… but another me? Wishing I were you! Let me see Please help me Wanna pull myself up! You made me feel that things were worth fighting for I was yearning for the passion and experience Yeah, you gave me all, all that you had But I could never pay you back As I trusted, I betrayed you: It was the best that I could do When you held your hand out to me To make me feel stronger I would only turn into a stranger Let me be ... Another you Let me see... Ooh, we used to be like brothers Two fools sharing the same anger No need to talk to understand each other Friendship couldn't restrain...No! Let me see...

No question will remain unanswered When I'm gone There is nothing I should fear (Nothing I should fear) I've been trying hard, fightin' my way Back for so long Shadows of the past sorrows are Now forever gone Finally I've reached ashore I'm tired of denying my fate Now I'm at peace with myself No grudge for anyone There's no more reason for hatred No more no more... I know for sure Days follow the nights From death well be brought back to life Life is more than breathing in and out Carrying away is part of the art My cards have already been laid on the table Now I know my time has come: I'll die when the morning comes Now I'm at peace with myself ... I know for sure ... Down to the river I go, down below To the river of lost souls, this is my Shelter, my home Down to the river I go, down below Where the grass has never grown Please hear these last words Please hear an old man's last words I'll leave it all behind me! (Hatred, resentment, deceit) Let me share my last words With the rest of you folks Please hear my last words Remember, remember as I will be gone Hope will live on I know for sure ...

As I was on my way Things were turning into grey Clouds slowly filling up the skies For me the light was gone And the curtain was torn Unveiling the worldwide festival Born in these times of confusion I wonder is there still a truth I could fight for? No future anymore History has ended Enter the carnival! Come, dance in our party world! Then you will find tragedy exiled at last Things have changed, now... Look the herd, they wish the best "No more wars and anger!" Look those smiles, void made flesh I'm a wolf among the lambs Born in these times of confusion I know them, their "Peace" is another trap No future anymore Tragedy's still on the prowl But they are blind... Born in these times of confusion I will find a bad cause I could proudly die for! Die! No future anymore... Dance on ashes and dust And don't forget there is no escape to the evil Ones

Every night feels like there's a desert In my heart and in my soul I am lost when someone finds me I think of me and my space Only when I see you I breathe I don't believe anymore That love is to want someone I fear if I had you, I would break your heart I see her smile and wonder if I can Enter the world one sunny day If she'd only help me loving me Giving me what I always refuse... But I know it's only dreaming I can't take her life in my hand Right now I'm the one who knows about us Let me show you the way I feel Now I've got time for the restless show Don't tell me reason for I should be crying Don't wanna hear 'bout one more goodbye We'll meet in the middle of eternity... It's easier loving you not having you But now this is getting hard I wish you were here...In my arms While I go on with my restless show! I see her smile... Now I've got time... Restless show No more goodbyes No more goodbyes

Fly around me, sweet memory Are you trying to haunt me all night long? My blood is cold but tears won't roll I am without you, how can anything be real? You're lying cold and dead Unlike this endless pain Which burns deep within Cause I've seen you down there Take a look at me now I'm just a shadow, half-alive Looking for an answer I'll never find... In this world... now you're gone I hear your voice down through the rain And I've been looking for your face It's all in vain (I pray the lord) I pray the lord so that he takes my life And would bring you back to life! 'Cause this pain keeps driving me insane Now you're lying cold and dead Unlike this endless pain Which burns deep within me 'Cause I've seen you down there Take a look at me now I'm just a shadow, half-alive Looking for an answer I will never find in this world Oh your absence is tearing me apart I hear those footsteps in my head all day And people say to me that time keeps passing by But winter cold freezes my heart So long I've been waiting for so long I've been craving to see you In this world, close to me... I feel alone Can you hear me? Come back to me Can you help me Feel alive? Now you're... (Can you hear me? Come back to me Can you help me Feel alive Feel me again We'll break our chains Flee painful lanes) It's tearing me apart... Can't remember who I am I failed: I swore I'd never leave you! I just can't say farewell Farewell

Like a curse It took me by surprise It seemed the veil had been torn Burnt aflame Reality appeared as it actually is What a torture room for me! For me... What a torture... I need some silence I need to leave the world behind Just hear the silence This world drives me mad It's a dream - illusion We're still here, watching you Close your eyes and windows Anyway we're there! In my shelter, life's under control Frozen picture of the sparkle of existence I need some silence I need to leave the world behind Just hear the silence... It drove me insane! Shadows dance, the reverie covers the world Let my mind build up the perfect illusion As the world's still turning, everyday gets my dream closer Until the day grand illusion comes true Now I've reached the breaking point Where everything collapses So clear - I never had control! Shadows dance...

Here I'm standing tall Staring the void of a pure horizon Trying to bring back to life Some small fragments of time coming from the past Awake in the blessed hour When nocturnal bells clast together Their toll, in the silence, seems to Dig cosmic tombs Through painful lanes I wonder Through blaze of anger I'm growing I've seen - the kingdom has burnt And the empire's fallen I've seen Satan dancing with the Mask of god The pure angel's smile at the Hangman's scaffold Now the end is near... Where's my home? I'm alone in a world sized desert Where's my home? Every step in this life seems to lead To darkness Am I able to guess the true Meaning of it all? Am able to live After all the tears I cried? I've seen ... Still the blade's stained with Innocent blood... Oh lord please, tell me about the Final aim Hear my cries, could I have the Force to tell And testify to the growing terror Of this overwhelming void? Am I able...

People are in big confusion they don't like their constitutions Everyday they draw conclusions And they're still prepared for war Some can say what's ineffective Some make up themselves attractive Build up things they call protective Well your life seems quite bizarre In the sky a mighty eagle Doesn't care 'bout what's illegal On its wings the rainbow's light It's flying to eternity Eagle fly free Let people see Just make it your own way Leave time behind Follow the sign Together we'll fly someday Hey, we think so supersonic And we make our bombs atomic Or the better quite neutronic But the poor don't see a dime Nowadays the air's polluted Ancient people persecuted That's what mankind contributed To create a better time In the sky a mighty eagle Doesn't care 'bout what's illegal On its wings the rainbow's light It's flying to eternity Eagle fly free Let people see Just make it your own way Leave time behind Follow the sign Together we'll fly someday
