Numquam Remotiores ab origine. Media parte mundi. Funditus aberramus. Ultimum excidium sui!

When Darkness will reign and blind us all Allegiance will blind us if we do not fall We cannot tell when morning comes Is there a choice to live another day? It’s hard to find a new direction in your fragile life The precious time of your existence is now to come Don’t throw your life away by cheating time Sugared Placebos only fool your mind Now I want the water to wash away all my sins The wind to blow away my thoughts without meaning The fire to burn away my thickened skin Novas portas pandimus What is the space, the type of dance? I cannot tell which steps I have to take I’d like to leave, just run away My feet are tangled up So hard to face the pace of the clock What do you think; will it ever stop? So, will I fall and not get up? I take it all in stride Everything has a reason for its happening Can’t you tell it’s your own spell and Everyone has to dance his dance like anyone Can’t break free of destiny We should open new doors And close the ones that we’ve left behind Novas portas pandimus, et post nos occludimus Novas portas pandimus et post nos occludimus

Magna culpa nostra Poena danda nobis erit Usque ad finem dierum Ad finem temporum You can’t force yourself upon me And you never will You can’t keep digging in Desecrated graves No more innocence left to spill Don’t be afraid, participate and Just give us all your trust Your soul will be saved Just honour me, I’ll set you free so Get ready to join the Very last crusade You can’t get away with your crimes And you never will For you’ll have to pay the price And this time is near No more innocent left to kill Get ready to taste the Final victory
Living at different places Evading into various spaces My compass has broken I'm losing the way An ongoing madness has led me astray My past breathes down my neck And it seems now that all I can do is Go back to beginnings when all lay ahead A fading illusion now plagues me instead In me there's still a place that fulfils me A sanctity here that I call home, I run to When winter descends If I try, can I find solid ground I follow elusive paths Oh, it seems they've been written in stone And the door to a new life is closing so fast Burning the bridges will not bring me back I know that in me there's still a place that fulfils me A sanctity here that I call home, I run to When winter descends If I try, can I find solid ground Or am I just wasting time?

Trying to keep myself afloat upon this stream But a thought is pulling me down Pulling me all the way down We are wandering towards a blank infinity And extinguishing will now be the only way To diminish your sins This vortex can't be filled up again A hole in space and time Do you cry to the heaven's high When you're confined in here? Do you not ever wonder why These leaden tears will never dry? They'll leave behind so many shadows in my mind High in the sky, all of the clouds are passing by Wait for the storm, wait for the rain Wait for the tears to fall down on me We are wandering towards a blank infinity And extinguishing will now be the only way To diminish your sins This vortex can't be filled up again A hole in space and time Do you cry to the heaven's high When you're confined in here? Do you not ever wonder why These leaden tears will never dry? They'll leave behind so many shadows Living in me, living in all the memories in my life Do you wonder why These tears never dry? Time forced into life (in my life) Living in my mind Can we ever find a way in this labyrinth without end? Labyrinth has no end Which turn should I take? Left or right? Should I stay? Should I be the one? Do you cry to the heaven's high When you're confined in here? Do you not ever wonder why These leaden tears will never dry? They'll leave behind so many shadows The substance in time forced into life Still exists because it's here Living in me, living in all the memories in my life Lost inside blank infinity

Appearance is deceptive So perfect in disguise There’s more than what you see A semblance is protective A blinder for the eyes A place to hide and flee Flee and you’ll never see What you’re going to be If you throw away the key The truth from the past you can’t make it last Flee and walk away From what you are this day If you are afraid to stay Beyond the shore the sea is filled up with sentiment and strength Here lie the thoughts imprisoned A field of forces and laments How can we hide here We need to change our ways How can we tell lies here We turn our eyes away From the truth From the past You cannot Make it last If you do not cease to run away from truth You will never see the shadow of your dying youth A façade is what we all possess But on the inside it stays a mess Superficial changes won’t recall the past Don’t deny the clock is ticking and it’s racing fast Fading tokens of our latter days Make us think we need to change our ways Deep, the feelings hide They’re wasted from within And my shell will never break Appearance is deceptive So perfect in disguise A place to flee and hide and run away Lift the shadow

The culprit, you act before thinking Caught in your ignorant sin And lying to your own reflection, you thought you could hide Deprived of my own innocence, denied The infinity of recurring torment, your comeuppance See, hear the torture inside Devouring what was left of my pride You thought it’s not going to happen to you, thought you could hide The infinity of recurring torment, your comeuppance Dwelling in a mind, mixed up and Your regret has spread over the sea

It always put me on the edge, To think of all the spoilt lives Today I’m one step further Not sure if I’ve survived myself Reality is sometimes stranger than fiction Whatever happens in my dreams I know it can’t be worse than this So I prefer to sleep I am searching ~ without vision ~ For the answers in the dirt I am waiting ~ just for nothing ~ For the day that I’ll be heard You’re the sea in which I’m floating And I lose myself in you I am feeling these sensations I communicate with you I am looking ~ without vision ~ For a different kind of way I am thinking ~ just for nothing ~ About that specific day You’re the night so you’re the dark side Of the day you’ll never see You’re the past but everlasting Can you share one day with me? You’re the hand that I rejected But I can’t forgive myself I am selfish and not worthy To think of, even to die for Tomorrow, don’t know where I’ll be I need some place to go now So do you know the way I feel Or shall I give up my belief? You’re the lock I’ve never opened ‘Cause I threw away the key I’m enclosed within my own thoughts That will never set me free You’re the question to the answer And without there’ll never be Any thought in this direction You’ve created this in me Serenity is taking over all I am, it gives me peace And all I see are visions of my destiny Why should I bleed and pay for the others’ greed? We consciously sign our own sentence of death How can you go on, did you forget What we have learnt from the past? We can’t go on killing ourselves And with us all the rest Why can’t you see, don’t you regret? I am alone with all my thoughts Alone without a hope and I lost the thing I needed most I feel I can’t survive this fall

Memory, fading out Its presence still lingers in my mind Listen to your inner voice There's no escape, there's no other choice A foolish fate that came about Death could not leave without Don't try to scour your inane soul It would be labour lost Deep inside hides a lie Where can we try to seek A way so this will die Innocence died when they took his mind And they tried to leave him behind Not even a cascade of tears will save you And keep you away from harm Concinnity of destiny Is not what you wished it to be Blinded by love Between lust and hate You scarred your fate There’s no time to waste Ride for your own ruin Odium became your opium Please don’t let me bleed for all eternity Please leave me be in my own misery

If you search for enrichment And injure others Earning more that you can spend You’ll pass the borders When you think you’ve succeeded But something’s missing Means you have been defeated By greed, your weakness This fantasy is not enough for me I want it, I’ll take it away from you Your misery that softly incites me All I do is using, abusing you Life is often miserable In the search for happiness The power so desirable They bring so much distress Life is often pitiful In the search for blessedness If we weren’t so insatiable There would be much more than less I cannot see why you’d be another me I just take care of myself and no-one else Life is often cynical In the search for hopefulness We’re only wanting more and more, So we got into this mess All that you’ve taken from others Will be taken from you All that your dissonance smothers Will then come back to you Whatever happens tomorrow, and whatever you do Just keep in mind, that se source and end is you In Lack’ech Never finding fulfilment, the source and end is you

How can we let this happen and Just keep our eyes closed ‘till the end The only thing that counts is the prosperity of today Most important to us is that our bills get paid Our good intentions have always been delayed How can we let this happen and Just keep our eyes closed ‘till the end When we will stand in front of heaven’s gate It will be too late! Try to unlearn all that you’ve learnt, try to listen to your heart No, we can’t understand the universe by just using our mind We are so afraid of all the things unknown A must we appease is the lust to get laid Nothing really matters, just devouring our prey Our good intentions have always been delayed so Our generous acts have always come too late We are so afraid of all the things unknown We just flee into a dream that never comes true Low to the ground we feel safe Low to the ground we feel brave Oblivisci tempta quod didicisti Open your eyes; we’re not in paradise How can’t you see, this stress is killing me Fulfil your dreams; life is not what is seems We have captured time so time made us all hostages without mercy Seemingly generous fooling ourselves, Selfishly venomous time tells Too much thinking goes at the cost of all our intuition Our thoughts create reality But we neglect to be! So we’re already slaves of our artificial world We shouldn’t try to control life but listen to the laws of nature We all think we’re generous But we only fool ourselves The only thing that matters is Our way and our vision Selfishly we’re venomous But you know the time tells us There is more to life than our Higher positions, race for perfection Better, faster We must return to the laws of the nature Free ourselves from madness

Built from blind faith Passed down from self-induced fantasy Turn a page to justify Conjuring power - it opens wide On seventh day, is that how it's done? Twisting your eyes to perceive all that you want To assume from ignorance Inflicting wounds with your cross-turned dagger Inside crystal mountain Evil takes its form Inside crystal mountain Commandments are reborn All the traps are set to confine All who get in the way of the divine In sight and in mind of the hypocrite A slave to the curse forever confined Shatter the myth Don't cut yourself On your words against dreams made of steel Stronger any faith That inflicts pain and fear, is that how it's done? Twisting your eyes to perceive all that you want To assume from ignorance Inflicting wounds with your cross-turned dagger Inside crystal mountain Evil takes its form Inside crystal mountain Commandments are reborn

It feels so warm when you are near You are all I want to feel Tell me now, is this for real? It's hard to breathe We're all lost and travelled high, cannot find my peace of mind When the sun will rise again, we'll fly away Take the stairs to the stars Wander long, travel far Someday A summer breeze makes all of our winters freeze Autumn leaves There's no chance for spring's romance We linger on but leave the past behind us Old lovers live it all anew But chances are so few Windows open up to life Put your worries all aside Sacred silence closes doors for opened eyes Take the stairs to the stars Wander long, travel far Someday Always A summer breeze makes all of our winters freeze Autumn leaves There's no chance for spring's romance We linger on but leave the past behind us Old lovers live it all anew But chances are so few And choices are so true...
