The Dawn of Reckoning

In life's great ocean I swim within my tears Sinking deeper inside a flood of fears I'm lost inside – I'm searching for the way Down to the ground the core of human clay As I try to hold my breath And reflecting all of my past

As the colours bleed into one You can see the sores of mine They are the wounds collected in my life And the wisdom I got on my way No one hears my silent screams Sometimes my hope it seems to vanish God please awake me From dark dreams that surround me The spell that has bound me Helplessly swept away I crack the walls to see the sky Drag off the burden that made me cry I break the chains for my way back I'm on the run – I'm going to see beyond the black I see scars carved deep inside my soul For how long I have to bear the pain Going down – I don't know what to do My heart's bleeding – it's making me insane No one hears my silent screams... I crack the walls to see the sky Drag off the burden that made me cry I break the chains for my way back I'm on the run – I'm going to see beyond the black I am searching – trying to find my own essence By the sea I breathe the cold wind Waiting for my fate being fulfilled Sweet voices awake me from dark dreams A ray of light through the veil of night Open my eyes staring at the sun The wind recalls me I'm afraid no more Through emptiness I made my way Guess this is it what I was searching for Someone heard my silent screams Someone gave hope – a new beginning Someone awoke me From dark dreams around – I'm lost and found With my feet on the ground I crack the walls to see the sky Drag off the burden that made me cry I break the chains for my way back I'm on the run – I'm going to see beyond the black

Smilin' faces on the screen Can't you see behind their eyes They tell us not to ask – just make our sacrifice Empty words tattooed in your mind The blind following the blind Death is in the air – armageddon's near What the hell the world is coming to We watch it going up in flames Didn't we learn from the past That we'll be gone nothing's gonna last Lords of chaos – your kingdom will fall We're gonna tear down the wall Lords of chaos -- you sealed your fate By sowing the seeds of hate Another suicide shocks the world And we watch in our apathy Justification by holy words Tell me why – I don't know who made 'em God Lords of chaos – your kingdom will fall We're gonna tear down the wall Lords of chaos -- you sealed your fate By sowing the seeds of hate They're dealin' with lives – they're dealin' with hate They're dealin' with lives – they gonna seal your fate They're dealin' with lives – they're dealin' with lies Don't give up and start to fight All is fair in war they say – but I can't help it but replay The misery and the bloody sight – I'm haunted tonight Lords of chaos – your kingdom will fall We're gonna tear down the wall Lords of chaos -- you sealed your fate By sowing the seeds of hate You sealed our fate by sowing the seeds of hate We watch our world in apathy Didn't we learn from the past that nothing's gonna last So stop this madness and this tyranny

Wake up in a dreamless night Cold Sweat makes me wanna shiver Shadow on my soul I was struck and stiff with fright Then my body starts to quiver My body starts to quiver In that night I won't forget I took a glimpse right into hell Fire makes me burn I was tied in my own bed Could not release the angry yell Asking for forgiveness – yet I can't forgive myself It rips my body in two – get me out of this place Shadows of the past – leave me be Longing for peace and salvation God please set me free Shadows – shadows – shadows on my soul Dark skies never lifted – wrongs never turned out right Coldness around my neck – how long I'll have to fight Buried in a shallow grave Never ever meet my demons again Buried without a prayer But in life's ensuing battles Their shadows will remain Asking for forgiveness... Shadows of the past – leave me be Longing for peace and salvation God please set me free

Sometimes I'm crying out for help Tell me where did I go wrong Took a wrong turn at the wrong time I hope this won't take too long There are things I'm haunting Just a few steps away My heart's heavy – my mind's in despair In this hall of dismay Every day just like the other We are like ants standing in line Look at myself it makes me bother I'm thinking everything's just fine Day to day from nine to five I can't believe that it's my fate – my fate There has to be more to this life I'll try to correct my mistake I am chained – they try to bring me down I've been pushed too far I am chained – they try to bring me down I've been pushed too far I can feel the shifting time Don't know if I'm prepared to face the day A devastation in my mind My dark dreams a have to push away from me Have to try and find a way A way to make right what went wrong Right now I will begin again Watch me come out of this so strong I am chained – they try to bring me down I've been pushed too far I am chained – they try to bring me down I've been pushed too far Like a mouse in a maze – searching for new ways I am counting the hours – and emptiness devours Everything just looks the same Like running around in circles We're like drones working for the queen Caught in a landslide The path is in disguise We all looking for a new surprise I know I've been this way before Trying to find the open door So I start to grow my ambitions high But again I'm put back in the cage No time for dreams I'm living a lie Deep inside myself I feel the rage I try to keep the balance right Don't want to surrender my dreams Emptiness devours Emptiness devours Emptiness devours

You – you walk through lies and distrust That's what it feels to be Always feel the fear of being betrayed A soul that's hurt again and again Hands up to the sky shout out in pain Your screams are heard – are not in vain What's about a new tomorrow Free your mind from all your sorrow Won't you take my hand and trust me Be sure I'll tell you no lies I want you to be what you used to be I will show you forgotten sunrise Who drew the thorn in your heart Alone – no one to rely on Someone's to show you the other side The light of dawn you'd never known What's about a new tomorrow Free your mind from all your sorrow Won't you take my hand and trust me Be sure I'll tell you no lies I want you to be what you used to be I will show you forgotten sunrise Go ahead don't turn your head to the past Like water in the sand life is passing to fast What's about the stranger Isn't he like you You only know the unknown danger And the stranger Yeah the stranger suffers too Won't you take my hand and trust me Be sure I'll tell you no lies I want you to be what you used to be I will show you forgotten sunrise Things are looking bad You hear the coming storm Your life's a challenge This is the norm Stand up now and tempt your fate No matter what it brings It ends in life's great victory You'll earn angel's wings

Enter the realm of death many miles away from home Places I never heard of with people I don't know The sun and the wind wither this land Into which we've been thrown A hostile place to be and the war drags on Forever Sky is fallin' while cities gonna burn Oh my God who led us astray When fate calls its final warning We will suffer our decay The beast within – unleashed and out of control The beast within – turning me inside out High in numbers and with heavy hand We're trying to break their will – their will Taming a foreign land Where people lived for thousand years Fighting in the hills – fighting in the dunes Life is like a thrill Fire blows bloody thoughts to my mind I'm driven to tears Sky is fallin' while cities gonna burn... The beast within – unleashed and out of control The beast within – turning me inside out I can't hold it – can't control it I just can't restrain I just can't tame this hell on earth I'm crying out in pain The beast within – unleashed and out of control The beast within – turning me inside out The beast within

Silence is mocking the dawn of a new day Devil and Daughter are both on their way The evil of her nature collects in her eyes With him there's no fear of the dawn bringing light Baptised with fire, too wild to be tamed She's hot, evil and ready to take any man Let no one put assunder the power of the pain He is the master of hell riding again Devil and Daughter - pleasure and pain Devil and Daughter - is this the end A thousand times over, you'll hear on the wind in the name of hell, these sinners never sinned But Satan never listens to the words that they send Drenching the soul with blood, when will it end Devil and Daughter he's got the power, she's got the pain Devil and Daughter She'll break any woman and take any man Devil and Daughter Hand in hand with the reaper

The world is spinnin' – spinnin' out of control Who will be winning – if it's the dice we roll To the east – people unfed Just a struggle for daily bread To the west – all the new ways Turning the earth into empty space Gone too far – nowhere to run Gone too far – nowhere to hide Gone too far – just so bizarre – living on a dying star Our planet's crying – we don't hear the warning signs It's so close to dying – hear the tolling bell Witness destruction everywhere Close to the edge we keep on fighting Time for us to slam on the brakes We're like a leaf that keeps on falling Gone too far – nowhere to run Gone too far – nowhere to hide Gone too far – just so bizarre – living on a dying star There must be another way We hear the coming storm Turn everything from green to grey Don't we know – this planet is our home We are still in the game Don't close your eyes – feel save today In the end only us to blame When everything just fades away Just fades away – fades away Gone too far – nowhere to run Gone too far – nowhere to hide Gone too far – just so bizarre – living on a dying star

Tell me who I have to pay To find a remedy I'm my own worst enemy Why do I always dream of you Where will you be when I'm gone You'll always be the one for me I'm waiting night and day I hear you call my name – so real In this big old lonely house I'm trying to forget I think I lose my mind But I won't regret It's the same old situation I am here still waiting This life is so frustrating The same infatuation You're still in my heart Why couldn't you be a part of me I'm waiting night and day... Silent screams to the sky Wandering through the night Got no more ambitions Just your image – still remains Just your image – still remains – forevermore Just your image – still remains – forevermore
