Nos sumus conjuncti Fontem nostram quaerentes Originem sciendi Nos pleni vigoris Quo colendo res fiunt Sic naturam fingimus Aenigma solventes Edrediamur Nil, certum est

O, ne moriar bis Oro supplex Sometimes I feel like my reason is weakening My inner clock's forcing time to stand still I'm breaching borders between life and sanity That's when it all starts to shatter in front of me. Liberate me Why don't you liberate me? Sometimes I feel I'm betraying my memory This time it seems that I'm losing the fight Finding it hard to be consciously part of life That's when awareness and dreams start to separate Reunite me It's time to reunite me As time goes by I hide the truth Cannot stand myself with a broken shell As time goes by I try to choose Don't know where to roam in this private hell Give me relief Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality My train thoughts got lost somewhere along the way I'm chasing shadows that cross on my path Repeating visions that dance faster than my mind Can't stop the rain casting shadows on my parade Can't defeat me I will not bot to defeat As time goes by I hide the truth Cannot stand myself with a broken shell As time goes by I try to choose Don't know where to roam in this private hell Give me relief Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality My train thoughts got lost somewhere along the way I'm chasing shadows that cross on my path Repeating visions that dance faster than my mind Can't stop the rain casting shadows on my parade Ne moriar bis Another life, anothe mind close to insanity Another road, a cryptic code the second stone All the is left is a cross that's mine to bear A cruse with no ending drenched in anxiety O, ne discedam bis Oro supplex As time goes by I hide the truth Cannot stand myself with a broken shell Give me relief Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality As time goes by I try to choose Don't know where to roam in this private hell Give me relief Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality Ne moriar bis

Something is wrong My strength has gone Thoughts are corrupting my mind I can see I perceive This ain't me Something so strong My mood has swung I can't get it out of my head I believe That my mind misleads me (We confuse) Is it a doubt you try to hide (Tangle and abuse) Just have an open look inside (We appear) It's just a dreary memory stuck in your mind (Memory stuck in your mind) Retrieve your balance Use your senses to observe (The essence of silence) Search for your essence Find the silence within you (The essence is...) You're searching And bursting There seems to be no cure When tension endures Delusions corrupting my mind I can see I perceive This ain't me There seems to be no way When light fades to grey To get them all out of my head I believe That my mind misleads me (We confuse) Is it a doubt you try to hide (Tangle and abuse) Just have an open look inside (We appear) It's just a dreary memory stuck in your mind (Memory stuck in your mind) Retrieve your balance Use your senses to observe (The essence of silence) Search for your essence Find the silence within you (The essence is...) Make a start Explore your heart When a persistent memory Penetrates deep in your mind Allow the silence to destroy Your thoughts in every kind (We confuse) Is it a doubt you try to hide (Tangle and abuse) Just have an open look inside (We appear) It's just a dreary memory stuck in your mind (Memory stuck in your mind) Retrieve your balance Use your senses to observe (The essence of silence) Allow the silence to wipe your thoughts away Retrieve your balance Use your senses to observe (The essence of silence) Search for your essence Find the silence within you (The essence is...) In silence

Your words are meaningless, as pain fills the void Hollow words won't hurt no longer You will regret every life you've destroyed Blaming the whole world will mever make you stronger Be prepeared for the righteous self If you blame all your failures on someone else Without any remorse Without your remorse If you don't face the weakness of your own self You will take the same course You'll take the same course Your deeds are reasonless, you adore yourself Empty deeds impress no longer You will regret everyone you've envied Blaming it on life will never make you stronger Be prepared for the confrontation If you blame all your failures on someone else Without any remorse Without your remorse If you don't face the weakness of your own self You will take the same course You'll take the same course If you blame all your failures on someone else You avoid every chance You've lost your last chance To learn from yourself If you blame all your failures on someone else Without any remorse Without your remorse If you don't face the weakness of your own self You will take the same course You'll take the same course We can't blame all our failures on someone else For our own protection So much to protect We can't learn from decisions in our own lives Without self-reflection We will never flee from congingency We will never flee from contingency

See through the veil Our perspective on life Defines everything we reach Most of us will aim for All the certainties Beyond the veil Our perspective on death Can manifest in many ways Some of us stay fearful Til the end of days As we believe in what we see We all assume that this is real Our experience will just hamper us Sense without your sanity We've tried to conceive and intertwine circles Circles of your life Our knowledge will only hinder us Sense without your sanity We've tried to conceive and interweave the cycles of life Cycles of your life Death will ease us See through the veil Our perspective on birth Defines how we honor life An esthetic wonder Blessed with splendid eyes As we believe in what we see We all assume that this is real Sense without your sanity Perceive a new reality Your heart is guiding you into Blessedness, we will pull through The longer you wait for the future the shorter it will be We're searching for the origin Dig deeper, where we've never been Carry the light, we should cherish the night The questions that we cannot solve We don't know how we should evolve Carry the light, we should cherish the night Bring us all to new heights Our feelings are ready to warm us, to finally heat us up Our mind will betray us and leave us in coldness, undefined Our vision of life says what we will experience Our vision of death defines what we will see Beyond the veil Our persperctive on life Defines everything we see As we all could aim for A sense of unity Se through the veil Our perspective on death Defines how we spend our days Everyone interprets Things in different ways As we believe in what we see We all assume that this is real Sense without your sanity Perceive a new reality Your heart is guiding you into Blessedness, we will pull through Sense without your sanity A changed mentality Perceive a new reality Don not sppress Your heart is guiding you into Moments of pure blessedness
We're in a time where all enterprises fall We should beware of the wolves that haunt us They are not all the same, cannot take the blame Await the time to unchain utopia Am I the only one who sees the troubled lines? Reading illusive writings on the mirror Is there a way that we can all erase mistakes and start anew? Don't mislead us and stop stabbing with blunt knives Liberty unchained We're in a time where all enterprises fall We should beware of the wolves that haunt us They are not all the same, cannot take the blame Await the time to unchain utopia What is a reason to wreck hopes and all our dreams? You're leaving endless riddles for the masses Does it make sense to mend the cracks that you hide behind our backs? It's afflicted by a virus of the brain Liberty unchained Recite the insane We're in a time where all enterprises fall We should beware of the wolves that haunt us They are not all the same, cannot take the blame We should beware of the lives that are at stake Before it's all too late Can we believe it all? Should we all take the fall? Our backs against the wall United we stand tall Why should we all believe you? Carry your own burden We won't succumb to Your delusion now We're in a time where all enterprises fall We should beware of the wolves that haunt us They are not all the same, cannot take the blame Await the time to unchain utopia Why should we all believe you? Carry your own burden We won't succumb to Your deceiving games Conquer the insane United we stand tall Time to free ourselves once more from the ball and chain

This track is instrumental.
Everlasting nights leave all views behind Limits will become less clear and A misty memory played out in a dream This endeavor is causing fear That's why I can't explain This is stabbing pain Come undone in nightly rhyming It's time for me to roll the dice Absent sanctity is shifting gravity Addiction's growing faster, making you go insane Ivory fangs are smiling, you'll have to break the habit Imprisonment's appraoching, catching the savages The mirror's magic showing chemical insomnia Don't give in to all of this Dive into ecstatic bliss Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free Waking sunset finds, making restless minds Wistful moments need enclosure A new hysteria is fading gravity Which is slowly taking over That's why I can't unwind All thoughts aligned Floating on rivers that are drying I fear the beast is rising high Your intuition's fading, a thumping sound impedes The daybreak is awaking chemical insomnia Don't give in to all of this Dive into ecstatic bliss Don't you believe what the sands of time see Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free And the monsters that consume your energy Your barbaric puppets live between the cracks of lies from hate revived Silver secrets shining through the night An enslaved fool in search of burning light from medicine contrived Golden treasures turning off the lights Forbidden fruit tastes better when it can numb the brain The outcome of the future is looking quite insane White bricks and darkened stones are building the fundament The silence's calling out for chemical insomnia Don't give in to all of this Dive into ecstatic bliss Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free And you should not believe what the sands of time see Free the lion that's hiding your identity Fight the monsters that consume your entity

A thousand signs declined That traveled through light Translate this mystery That covered my eyes Accept approaching fear And courage appears Death is a certainty It's growing near Letting go is fateful uniting broken rhymes That visions divide Painting my memories That colored my life Somewhere safe and sheltered Saved forever Stuck in the light of day Waiting for answers A seed that grew into branches Another page has turned, ended a letter Come on home and return to the canvas of life Shapes and boundaries Will not disappear Detangle the misery And enter new spheres Facing right and wrong While waiting for life Can't change this destiny The curtain's blose by While your leaves descended Earth starts to unfold Stuck in the light of day Waiting for answers A seed that grew into branches Another page has turned, ended a letter Come on home and return to the canvas of life You're falling down While my fortune's alive We're safe and sound on the ground Time to found new memories The stains come alive where the paint has gone dry You float above looking down reaching out to me Depicting a beautiful scene that shapes divinity Stuck in the light of day Waiting for answers A seed that grew into branches Another page has turned, ended a letter I'll come on home I'm in the light of day Questions were answered A new life's arms are extending The final page has turned, sending the letter Come on home And I'll sing you the song has painted your canvas of life

Natural corruption Another day passed by in ruined paradise Another night will pass until we're sheltered We're aiming for a life that won't be compromised And when we say goodbye it's devastating Now that we have finally realized Realized, petrified That profit's made from innocent demise Profit's made from tragic demise Another day goes by where money won't suffice A massive gift was meant as contribution Our conscience comes to aid that ends up in wrong hands And once the truth's revealed, intent is fading Now that we have come to realize Realized, sanctified Our hearts subdued by all those thousand cries Hearts subdued by all those fierce cries In moments of deadly gloom Young lives ended way too soon The facts that are all untrue Spread lies that wew not thought through Fight off the catastrophes Find true inned sanctity In modern society Welfare is stained, time to come clean again Feast on sheer agone Lean on generosity Pay in full, it all will vanish without care Grant us higher proceeds We'll ease your mind, guaranteed We should all be reaching out to the despaired Natural corruption Charity Can you believe it How nature's left its trace Could we foresee it What skies erased We all are trying We all are dying in nature's arms... In moment of deadly gloom Youg lives ended way too soon The facts that are all untrue Spread lies that were not thought through Fight off the catastrophes Find true inner sanctity In modern society Nothing to hide, lives to obtain Welfare is stained, time to come clean again

When all hope is gone Our world will fall to pieces Visions are defeated and beaten All our dreams will come to an end Cannot pretend Another chance for this dominion A rose reborn through new opinions Show progress with firm deeds Fulfill our wishes and needs A sovereign came forth from ashes A savior who would lead the masses Entrance us with wise words And shine your light upon us Show progress with firm deeds Grant us our wishes Can you save us now our world will end Crave us now 'cause no one's daring Liberate the promised land The tables will be turning The time has come to free ourselves Can't you banish your illusion now? Another chance, a prophecy told A bliss arose, the sound of new hope Entrance us with wise words And shine your light upon us Show progress with firm deeds Grant us our wishes Can you save us now our world will end Crave us now 'cause no one's daring Liberate the promised land The tables will be turning The time has come to free ourselves Won't you banish your illusion now? When all hope is gone Our world will fall to pieces Visions are defeated and beaten All our dreams will come to an end Cannoy pretend Dropped in a field of enemies Fear won't get another chance Can you sense how provoked sly snake conspire? Beware of the stab Your back will be the target This fierce retribution won't expire Be prepared! Can you save us now our world will end Crave us now 'cause no one's daring Liberate our promised land The tables will be turning Save us now there won't be peace Waive your hope 'cause no one's caring Sail away across the seas The promise will be bruning The time has come to face the facts We're on the edge of a relapse Will you banish your illusion now? When all hope is gone Our world will fall to pieces Visions are defeated and beaten All our dreams will come to an end Emancipate all of this reprobate land
