Everlasting

As I walked through this deathly quiet place A tomb for every heart's disgrace The chains lie silent on the stones Walls are built out of skulls and bones In obscurity I've lost my track Between helplessness and shades of black Too tight to move - too dark to see Without a light to guide me Is this where I meet my doom? If all hope is gone - I accept my fate I lay my head on this broken slate When I'm dead - assign me a place Pile my bones and rest my soul In this empty space I took the wrong turn And followed the forbidden path To a place I should not be A place of hatred and wrath With every step I move forward (forward) It takes me two steps back With every breath that I take (I take) The sling gets tighter around my neck If all hope is gone - I accept my fate I lay my head on this broken slate When I'm dead - assign me a place Pile my bones and rest my soul In this empty space Is this where I meet my doom? My cold infernal tomb? Desperate cries without a sound The only way out is the way deep down With every step I move forward (forward) It takes me two steps back With every breath that I take (I take) The sling gets tighter around my neck Is this where I meet my doom? If all hope is gone - I accept my fate I lay my head on this broken slate (on this broken slate) When I'm dead - assign me a place Pile my bones and rest my soul (rest my soul) In this empty space

This is who we are and this is where we stay We are strong, we are determined but not free of mistakes Our life is the hardest lesson – it teaches us to resist Still proud, still honest – our greatest gift Every day is another crusade – we defend it with all we've got Eye for an eye – armed to the teeth – blood for blood We have to go straight until we fall – we take it the hard way There's no need to change tomorrow if we can change today This is who we are and this is where we stay We've got to take our life back – one chance to make it right Hold your hands beside the flame – breathe in and keep it alive Every day is another crusade – we defend it with all we've got Eye for an eye – armed to the teeth – blood for blood We have to go straight until we fall – we take it the hard way There's no need to change tomorrow if we can change today Obliterate – what makes us weak Full speed ahead – salvation is what we seek What's done is done – let the past be the past Arise and take each moment as if it's the last Trust – when no one believes Live when you're almost dead Breathe – to stop drowning Don't trust those lies they told you We have to go straight until we fall – we take it the hard way There's no need to change tomorrow if we can change today We can change today

A one way ticket to reality – destination unknown A death trip to infinity or a journey back home Is this really happening or only in my head Free fall in slow motion – maybe, we're already death Should we drift apart? Or swim against the tide Just one simple choice to make What is wrong and what is right We're all playing the same game Just in different levels We're all suffering the same hell Just with different devils Small gearwheels in a big machine Of sadness and sorrow Fed with desperation and Iron tubes to swallow Narcotics running through our veins To keep us calm, to numb the pain Unreal stories implanted to our minds An artificial coma – false truth real lies Should we drift apart? Or swim against the tide Just one simple choice to make What is wrong and what is right Stories – lie hidden in the sands of time We look up to the sky for one single sign Motionless on the ground As with a broken spine Waiting for someone to stop our decline We're all playing the same game Just in different levels We're all suffering the same hell Just with different devils Small gearwheels in a big machine Of sadness and sorrow Fed with desperation and Iron tubes to swallow We don't know what we want We don't know what we get Two pills on the table One is blue, one is red

Breathless you reach for your crown Beyond burns everything you've ever known Just a poor man is all that's left A scorched portrait is your bequest Your tormented soul the demons shall keep Onto parchment are composed your guilt and greed The dust of decades underneath your feet Your spirit still yearns still seek You had everything and you've lost it all The highest flight it is the deepest fall Can't you hear the darkness calls? The tide that rises is the tide that falls Coward king Your fortress walls have failed Coward king Your whine will be to no avail Coward king The kingdom stands ablaze Your numbered days have turned blue to grey Coward king Your fortress walls have failed Coward king Your whine will be to no avail Coward king Can't you hear the darkness calls? The tide that rises is the tide that falls Breathless you reach for your crown Beyond burns everything you've ever known Just a poor man is all that's left A scorched portrait is your bequest You had everything You had everything Can't you hear the darkness calls?

You had everything and you've lost it all The highest flight it is the deepest fall Can't you hear the darkness calls? Can't you hear the darkness calls?

This is the kingdom of the sinners Ain't no hope for the saints? We have to fight for what we believe in We keep going forward never looking back Finally we have reached the lowest ground There's nothing more to lose Another chapter has just begun There is so much left to prove We are calm and resolved Even when the going gets rough Go hard or go down Cause enough is enough The darkness behind us – in deepest black Keep going forward (forward) and never looking back This is the kingdom of the sinners Ain't no hope for the saints? We have to fight for what we believe in We keep going forward – never looking back Never looking back We will never look back Go hard or go down – is the headline of the game Forget the old agony – by causing new pain When the going gets rough – we've gonna get rougher Through all these year's we've learned how to suffer (how to suffer) The darkness behind us – in deepest black Keep going forward (forward) and never looking back This is the kingdom of the sinners Ain't no hope for the saints? We have to fight for what we believe in We keep going forward – never looking back Never looking back (never looking back) We have to fight for what we believe in We keep going forward – never looking back

Hold back the time Slowly we belong to yesterday's youth It's hard to bear the ugly truth Time waits for nobody and standstill is death We seize every second like it's our last Breathe deeply once forget the time 10 years have passed in a blink of an eye With no chance to escape We walk the line straight to our graves Walking the line straight to our graves The line straight to our graves Try to hold back the time it's running out too fast All the years that we had are buried in the past The more it goes the more it takes away On the path of time we've gone astray Hold back the time Time is no healer (time is no healer) – time is a thieve Nothing lasts forever except our memories (memories) Try to hold back the time it's running out too fast All the years that we had are buried in the past The more it goes the more it takes away On the path of time we've gone astray No matter how many mountains we have climbed And burning bridges we have crossed In the end every moment we had Was a moment we have lost? Nothing lasts forever Old pictures in gilded frames Lock them deep into your heart The memories are all that remains

Masks of iron, dirt and gold Faces hiding, looks so cold Gilded with the most precious jewel Masks to cover, masks to fool Chandeliers and cloaks of black Beauty dancing back to back With ugliness and jealousy Behind the mask no one can see No one can see – your fuckin' identity Burning candles on the floor It feels like you've been here before Cause every night and every day It's just another masquerade Masquerade Just another masquerade Tear off your mask Tear off your skin And show the world your disgrace You can't take off your mask It has become your only face What will be left – I ask When we stop the masquerade When we stop the masquerade Burning candles on the floor It feels like you've been here before Cause every night and every day It's just another masquerade Masquerade Just another masquerade Tear off their mask (tear off their mask) And if it's still sticking to their face Tear off their skin (tear off their skin) And show the world their disgrace When we stop the masquerade

Ignite the light In the light of a candle – that gently gleams Digging through the cullets – of my broken dreams I pick them up to put them back together To start something better But life has other plans for me At the end of the tunnel I can see the light There is still a little something left Inside me to ignite I look out of dead eyes – to the naked floor Searching the room – but can't find a door Give it up – don't resist – down on your knees The chokehold I'm in makes it hard to breathe It's so hard to breathe No way outside – away from here My last hope disappears At the end of the tunnel I can see the light There is still a little something left Inside me to ignite Fight fire with fire turn darkness into light There's still a little something left Inside me to ignite Against the flood I'm standing tall Tear down the ruins before they fall A rain of fire and bursting flames Ashes and smoke are what remains Against the flood I'm standing tall Tear down the ruins before they fall (before they fall) A rain of fire and bursting flames Ashes and smoke are what remains …are what remains

This is our farewell – the pain we've caused remains unspoken A sanctuary for the heartless – a heartless home for the broken The eternal night comes down and covers us from within The city lights go black at the sight of your pale skin Nothing's around, except the will to comprehend This is where it started and this is where it ends Can't you hear my heart – it beats for you Through all the time – it beats for you It beats for two This is our farewell – the pain we've caused remains unspoken A sanctuary for the heartless – a heartless home for the broken We tried so hard – but we have failed We have exceeded the line – and stayed jailed Memories of a forgotten past guide us through The best of me is the worst of you Can't you hear my heart – it beats for you Through all the time – it beats for you It beats for two This is our farewell – the pain we've caused remains unspoken A sanctuary for the heartless – a heartless home for the broken The further we went on our path together The further we have grown apart forever

I am alone (I am alone) This bitter man that I've become Hold my breath – laid to rest Drown in my tears there's nothing left of me I am alone The angry man upon his throne I can't pretend – the great descent Take my hand until the end You see me on the horizon I am the air you breathe I sold my soul to the seven seas Condemned and lost Pulled off course I will never leave – I'm always yours Each time I stand ashore With sand between my toes I remember and I know I am alone (I am alone) This bitter man that I've become Hold my breath – laid to rest Drown in my tears – there's nothing left of me I am alone The angry man upon his throne I can't pretend – the great descent Take my hand until the end The water will wash away my pain and sorrows A stranger in the night who blindly follows – who follows This is the path I choose and this is the place I die When heaven rests itself upon the earth I'm one step closer to the sky To the one I loved – now lost To the one I sheltered from the rain that turned to frost To the sunken feeling when I saw your face I will perish in never ending disgrace You are the sea – I am the shore I will never leave – I'm always yours Each time I stand ashore With sand between my toes I remember and I know I am alone (I am alone) This bitter man that I've become Hold my breath – laid to rest Drown in my tears – there's nothing left of me I am alone The angry man upon his throne I can't pretend – the great descent Take my hand until the end There is a world inside me It lives, it hurts – it barely breathes I cast my heart into the sea If it means it brings you closer to me
