Silently I cried a thousand tears Oh I tried but failed relentlessly Yes I tried, but lacked the power to disagree Why did you turn your back on me? Stunned... Dazed... I loathe the choice you've made Stone cold you gaze back at me How I tried to persuade you of my reality All in vain, deafened by all my pain Even the blind could see Despair is written in your eyes In time the wounds will heal Stepping out won't serve you right I'll have to face the truth now Despair is all that serves me right In time I only fade away Become a shadow of today Even the blind could see Despair is written in your eyes In time the wounds will heal Stepping out won’t serve you right, no... I’ll have to face the truth now Despair is all that serves me right In time I only fade away Become a shadow of today... In time I only fade away... Become a shadow of today

Awakened by this light I heard the cry divide Sealed my lies with might As I hurried back in time To save the light to shine The sign! Fall with me into infinity Come with me to change reality Now I feel no longer alone I live through every soul (into the void) And I know I’m destined to be I can’t neglect the things I’ve seen Offended by my kind In shame I live again Travelling through the void Diving into the unknown Inside I’ll see... Now I feel no longer alone I live through every soul (into the void) And I know I’m destined to be I can’t neglect the things I’ve seen Fall with me into infinity Come with me to change reality Now I feel no longer alone I live through every soul (into the void) And I know I’m destined to be I can’t neglect the things I’ve seen Now I feel no longer alone I live through every soul (into the void) And I know I’m destined to be I can’t neglect the things I’ve seen The things I’ve seen...

I have chosen you to recognize the unknown An image of me, without revealing its complexity Welcome to all I am explore me thoroughly Leave the tree for what it is Watch it carefully You must know the ground you walk upon Ain't nothing but the love you gave me I am the tree and I'm fed by you I hand over all I am One day you're gone and the tree will too My world will fade away with you! So I have chosen you and you've chosen me Now, now all of me has become yours too Seduced by the unknown The desire to experience Hear the roars in depths of silence (Forget the cave) think for god's sake You were my last and only hope Voluntarily swallowed by the cave Placed curiosity above me Removed the ground beneath the tree Beneath the tree... You were my last and only hope Voluntarily swallowed by the cave Placed curiosity above me Removed the ground beneath the tree You're gone but still I am The ground remains so does the tree But the grief has ceased to be Better of alone, I'm free I forgot who I really am Thought I couldn't make it on my own Released and appeased The tree died, I'm new seed I was the tree and always fed by you The ground was based upon your love The cave was nothing but the truth My real grief was caused by all your carves All your carves...

Make the pain go away... I kiss the tears from your face Damn these tears (burning in my soul) Curse this pain I don’t want to live alone, no All the anger, pain and tears Refusal, denial and wasted years It’s not yet right – don’t leave me now A tale of the heart (broken with a promise) Three empty words Oh I miss you, can’t your see? All the anger, pain and tears Refusal, denial and wasted years It’s not yet right – don’t leave me now I’ll let you go Cold as it may seem I watch your face Slowly fade away... A tale of the heart Reach out for me in time You better hear my cries Why won’t your rescue me From all the lies within I see? All the anger, pain and tears Refusal, denial and wasted years It’s not yet right – don’t leave me now... Don’t leave me! So many things unsaid But now it’s all over Ash to ash, dust to dust Not even buried, but already lost Will I see you again? The silence hears the unbroken

Only the bed remains It was left behind while morning Memories honour he who rests now The will to live on The need to be strong Please allow yourself and others To find peace now I love you I always will But now it's time to move on Out of sight, but never out of heart

I admit to cry and scream Can't this merely be a dream Didn't believe what they say But now we're seperated by death Our characters the same One's fault the other's blame Now that you're gone and I'm alone It's pale where the sun once shone All the things that we have been through Sorrow and joy I gave you Living by each other's strength I knew you, you knew the me It all happened way too fast I can't accept this ain't no end You must be hiding somewhere No please God this ain't fair Why me? I'm being swallowed by these questions Why me? Shivers down my spine Why me? I'm being punished for no reason Why me? Lost in misery There are things you can't control Before you know it claims you whole Letting go might seem the worst part Think again when grief's tearing you apart Try remembering the good things Still submit yourself to sadness Because he who pushes all away Severely suffers every day Why me? I'm being swallowed by these questions Why me? Shivers down my spine Why me? I'm being punished for no reason Why me? Lost in misery All shaken I awake The nightmares in my sleep Dreams of you I cannot rest Scared of the person I knew best Cold and left behind The one I loved ain't here tonight I'll pay for a visit therefore instead I feel relieved facing my own death Why me? I'm being swallowed by these questions Why me? Shivers down my spine Why me? I'm being punished for no reason Why me? Lost in misery

We seize the day Safely guided on our way Clambering up before we sink to drown Sink to drown Our beings disposable We were meant for a bigger cause This burden is carried by us Hesitation and weakness we know not We seize the day Because tomorrow might be taken away Forever and evermore Lifting the everlasting burden Who will be there for us When the burden weighs too much In years we’ll be sinking away Sinking away to drown, yeah (to drown) We seize the day Because tomorrow might be taken away Forever and evermore Lifting the everlasting burden We seize the day (seize the day) Because tomorrow might be taken away Forever (forever) and evermore (forever and ever) Lifting the everlasting burden We seize the day Because tomorrow might be taken away Forever and evermore Lifting the everlasting burden We seize the day The day is what we say Because tomorrow might be taken away (Forever and evermore) forever Lifting the everlasting burden

Say farewell before you greet me Every encounter may be your last As I crawl up from behind You say your prayer, better say them fast Come into my dominion Where you know you don't belong The eerie silence's has been broken By the opening of a door Red eyes stare back at me Tongues point from behind Rats crawl from out of nowhere They may be your only guide The choice is yours to make My friend I leave it up to you The path is yours to take Either way, you're my destiny The shape of my contour appears I desire the youth you'll bring Quivering you behold the me I will prolong your destiny Red eyes stare back at me Tongues point from behind Rats crawl from out of nowhere They may be your only guide The choice is yours to make My friend I leave it up to you The path is yours to take Either way, you're my destiny Craving the youth The red lures The blood divine Swallow the life The choice is yours to make My friend I leave it up to you The path is yours to take Either way, you're my destiny The choice is yours to make My friend I leave it up to you The path is yours to take You’re my destiny

Lightning has struck again The time is here I can't deny this secret no more Long gone and forgotten years They've led to downfall And will be our ruin in the end Our fortune's told to me I reveal the future Expect the inevitable Long gone and forgotten years They've led to downfall And will be our ruin in the end They’ve led to downfall And will be our ruin in the end

The chosen have spoken Tomorrow we'll reign again The tide is closing in Now we're lost into disbelief It's slipping through my hands Heading towards the abyss It's cast upon ourselves We're liars in disguise It's cast upon ourselves Now look into my eyes... Do you live by the prophecy As foretold so long ago? The chosen have spoken Tomorrow we'll turn the page Together we'll break this chain And all our faith shall be obtained But it's slipping, through our hands Heading towards the abyss It's cast upon ourselves We're liars in disguise It's cast upon ourselves Now look into my eyes Do you live by the prophecy As foretold so long ago? The ever-burning questions They keep on knocking at my door

Wait... Prey... Patience is the answer Praise your conscience For I was left alone Again brutish necessity Wipes its hands upon the napkin Of a dirty cause again A waste of compassion But just you wait Just you wait Now I am hurting too (You act divine) you act divine when taking the pain alone (I run away) I run away, but I'm taking the fall Grief... Hate... And I've got you to blame Praise your conscience For I was left alone Again brutish necessity Wipes its hands upon the napkin Of a dirty cause again A waste of compassion (You act divine) you act divine when taking the pain alone (I run away) I run away, but I’m taking the fall (You act divine) you act divine when taking the pain I run away (I run away) but I’m taking the fall and I take you down with me
