01. Devil In My Neck - Lyrics:
Back on track some devil in my neck
Maybe he's the one who guides me
On the road that will end somewhere I don't know
Pushing me somehow in a fatal bow the direct way
For me is still blocked
Because the key is falling to unlock what I need
I'm diving
Into water crystal clear deep inside of me
Into the flames that burn my heart
Into the storm that takes me back to my inside
Into the light that shines so dark
To reach my goal god's still in my soul
Maybe he's the one who guides me
On the path that leads me to the lost and gone
Looking back on the still worn track
The view fixed on a point in future
I have to kick some asses: start with me!
I'm diving
Into water crystal clear deep inside of me
Into the flames that burn my heart
Into the storm that takes me back to my inside
Into the light that shines so dark
All these days all these years
Things are over they're past
They are gone forever
All my joys all my fears
Are they gone or still there
Will they stay forever?
Who can give me some hint
To a question - unclear - to a dead heart's feeling
Who's the one that will wake me?
Who will kiss me alive when I am still dead inside
Slowly die?
I'm diving
Into water crystal clear deep inside of me
Into the flames that burn my heart
Into the storm that takes me back to my inside
Into the light that shines so dark
Devil in my neck, devil in my neck.
02. Burning Symbols - Lyrics:
The future's clouded face it winks now
But we don't look back again
The signs of what will come appear now
And we go further again
The living colors turn to grey but
The warning seems to be not heard
The edge gets nearer step by step
The natural balance is disturbed
Too many ways we tried wo walk
And consequences - talked about
But no one is changing what destroys
The simple things we need for life
The chaos starts with raging storms
Goes further now with burning symbols
That we built and what we stand for...
Our sky turns red like a warning light
We will never - be going down
We are so sure we are in right
The future's clouded face it winks now
But we don't look back again
The signs of what will come appear now
And we go further again
Too many ways we tried wo walk
And consequences - talked about
But no one is changing what destroys
The simple things we need for life
The chaos starts with raging storms
Goes further now with burning symbols
That we built and what we stand for...
Our sky turns red like a warning light
We will never be - going down
We are so sure we are in right
We will never be going down
We never doubted that we could be wrong.
03. My Secret - Lyrics:
Do you know the feeling
When you try it day by day
Leave those days behind
To walk a new and different way
Again those feelings
Again the pain
Ask yourself the question
Are you willing to forget
Have you really closed the door
Inside and won't look back
Again the darkness
Again the pain
There is so much that we can't see
Hidden in our deepest memories
What has been what is what will be
This is my secret
Again remembrance
Again the pain
There is so much that we can't see
Hidden in our deepest memories
What has been what is what will be
This is my secret
This is my secret
Again the pain...
Again those feelings
Again the pain
There is so much that we can't see
Hidden in our deepest memories
What has been what is what will be
This is my secret.
Do you know the feeling
When you try it day by day
Leave those days behind
To walk a new and different way
Again those feelings
Again the pain
Ask yourself the question
Are you willing to forget
Have you really closed the door
Inside and won't look back
Again the darkness
Again the pain
There is so much that we can't see
Hidden in our deepest memories
What has been what is what will be
This is my secret
Again remembrance
Again the pain
There is so much that we can't see
Hidden in our deepest memories
What has been what is what will be
This is my secret
This is my secret
Again the pain...
Again those feelings
Again the pain
There is so much that we can't see
Hidden in our deepest memories
What has been what is what will be
This is my secret.
04. Divergent - Lyrics:
A so long time now it's unclear
A thin line between hope and fear
Too many steps go back and stand still far beyond the dawn
I walk my way - still wait for you to come
This feeling's new but quite as gone
That will come again or not
I don't know what to do now
Am I right or just too proud of
What I think that makes me alive
Keeps me alive, just gives me life
That makes me live that makes me give
But never forgive
Never shows what really is
Won't you go
And keep your decision
Who may know about this
Divergent daydream in me
Let me know
And make your decision
You can't know about this
Divergent daydream in me
The more I get the less I know
Progress is marching on too slow
I have to admit it's in a way exciting If we walk
The same course or not
Come suck me off and let me in
But beware what may lay within
Never forget that faster than you think
I could turn the tables
I don't know what to do now
Am I right or just too proud of
What I think that makes me alive
Keeps me alive, just gives me life
That makes me live that makes me give
But never forgive
Never shows what really is
Won't you go
And keep your decision
Who may know about this
Divergent daydream in me
Let me know
And make your decision
You can't know about this
Divergent daydream in me
About the daydream in me
About the daydream inside my head
About the daydream inside of me
I don't know what to do now
Am I right or just too proud of
What I think that makes me alive
Keeps me alive, just gives me life
That makes me live that makes me give
But never forgive
Never shows what really is
Won't you go
And keep your decision
Who may know about this
Divergent daydream in me
Let me know
And make your decision
You can't know about this
Divergent daydream in me.
A so long time now it's unclear
A thin line between hope and fear
Too many steps go back and stand still far beyond the dawn
I walk my way - still wait for you to come
This feeling's new but quite as gone
That will come again or not
I don't know what to do now
Am I right or just too proud of
What I think that makes me alive
Keeps me alive, just gives me life
That makes me live that makes me give
But never forgive
Never shows what really is
Won't you go
And keep your decision
Who may know about this
Divergent daydream in me
Let me know
And make your decision
You can't know about this
Divergent daydream in me
The more I get the less I know
Progress is marching on too slow
I have to admit it's in a way exciting If we walk
The same course or not
Come suck me off and let me in
But beware what may lay within
Never forget that faster than you think
I could turn the tables
I don't know what to do now

What I think that makes me alive
Keeps me alive, just gives me life
That makes me live that makes me give
But never forgive
Never shows what really is
Won't you go
And keep your decision
Who may know about this
Divergent daydream in me
Let me know
And make your decision
You can't know about this
Divergent daydream in me
About the daydream in me
About the daydream inside my head
About the daydream inside of me
I don't know what to do now
Am I right or just too proud of
What I think that makes me alive
Keeps me alive, just gives me life
That makes me live that makes me give
But never forgive
Never shows what really is
Won't you go
And keep your decision
Who may know about this
Divergent daydream in me
Let me know
And make your decision
You can't know about this
Divergent daydream in me.
05. From Within Through Time - Lyrics:
A view so deep inside your eyes
And I realize who you are
It opens me the way to mind and heart
And it says more than a hundred letters
And much more than a thousand words
Yes I feel there is more within than you allow
There are so many impressions
I learned to explain in time
I focused more on your life
And pushed aside what was mnie
Do you know me
Should I show you who I really am
Do you think of me
Should I show you what I really am
Your inner self side is set free
And you turn your eyes from me
Too hard to bear the truth and what may behind
And I raised my head again
And the plate-glass shows my face
Like countless times before
There are so many impressions
I learned to explain in time
I focused more on your life
And pushed aside what was mnie
Do you know me
Should I show you who I really am
Do you think of me
Should I show you what I really am
There are so many impressions
I learned to explain in time
Perhaps it still was my life
I didn't see it was mine
Do you know me
Should I show you who I really am
Do you think of me
Should I show you what I really am.
A view so deep inside your eyes
And I realize who you are
It opens me the way to mind and heart
And it says more than a hundred letters
And much more than a thousand words
Yes I feel there is more within than you allow
There are so many impressions
I learned to explain in time
I focused more on your life
And pushed aside what was mnie
Do you know me
Should I show you who I really am
Do you think of me
Should I show you what I really am
Your inner self side is set free
And you turn your eyes from me
Too hard to bear the truth and what may behind
And I raised my head again
And the plate-glass shows my face
Like countless times before
There are so many impressions
I learned to explain in time
I focused more on your life
And pushed aside what was mnie
Do you know me
Should I show you who I really am
Do you think of me
Should I show you what I really am
There are so many impressions
I learned to explain in time
Perhaps it still was my life
I didn't see it was mine
Do you know me
Should I show you who I really am
Do you think of me
Should I show you what I really am.
06. Into The Fire - Lyrics:
Steady we are heading for an end a growing anger
The core of what we call our mother earth is spitting flames
Laughter about us all what we built and created
The one that we call god takes back now what belongs to him
No one knows when it will end but we can be sure
Our last time is certain
Avarice in mind the opposite to waste of gods
We are raping what we need to live and view through children's eyes
Deafening the silence will all be witnesses to our own fall
I closed my eyes but didn't see
Knew it for long inside of me
It's our last time swallowing up in flames
It's our last time no one will remember our names
It's our last time going down in flames
And that is the way that we chose
Cowardice, swimming against the stream is ending on one day
The character of man is broken just wait a bit more time
Deafening the silence will be that which stays at last
We didn't keep in mind that what we did laid in our hands
I closed my eyes but didn't see
Knew it for long inside of me
It's our last time swallowing up in flames
It's our last time no one will remember our names
It's our last time going down in flames
And that is the way that we chose
Sleeping, dreaming
Leave this world escape the truth
Awaking, fleeing
To a peaceful place in youth
It's our last time swallowing up in flames
It's our last time no one will remember our names
It's our last time going down in flames
And that is the way that we chose
Into the fire
Into the flames.
Steady we are heading for an end a growing anger
The core of what we call our mother earth is spitting flames
Laughter about us all what we built and created
The one that we call god takes back now what belongs to him
No one knows when it will end but we can be sure
Our last time is certain
Avarice in mind the opposite to waste of gods
We are raping what we need to live and view through children's eyes
Deafening the silence will all be witnesses to our own fall
I closed my eyes but didn't see
Knew it for long inside of me
It's our last time swallowing up in flames
It's our last time no one will remember our names
It's our last time going down in flames
And that is the way that we chose
Cowardice, swimming against the stream is ending on one day
The character of man is broken just wait a bit more time
Deafening the silence will be that which stays at last
We didn't keep in mind that what we did laid in our hands
I closed my eyes but didn't see
Knew it for long inside of me
It's our last time swallowing up in flames
It's our last time no one will remember our names
It's our last time going down in flames
And that is the way that we chose
Sleeping, dreaming
Leave this world escape the truth
Awaking, fleeing
To a peaceful place in youth
It's our last time swallowing up in flames
It's our last time no one will remember our names
It's our last time going down in flames
And that is the way that we chose
Into the fire
Into the flames.
07. All I Gave - Lyrics:
This is written in my blood
All I gave is all I could
I will warn you you ain't gonna take it
Take it not the easy way
Take it precisely as I say
For you know this is my own creation
I worked so hard on my own
And after all I have been grown
To the individual that you might fear
Hiding not behind my face
I'm so sure I found my place
From there confrontation feels so easy
Why is it so hard to kick a thought out of your mind
And keep it at the same time
Come see my eyes what do you see?
Tell me what you expect of me this is all I gave
I killed myself
My heart and my soul they will slowly die...come back alive!
This is built up with my sweat
I was the one who curled in dread
Maybe I just pulled it much too hard then
I walked my way with consequence
And ever searched for evidence
But there are some things you will never find it
Why is it so hard to kick a thought out of your mind
And keep it at the same time
Come see my eyes what do you see?
Tell me what you expect of me this is all I gave
I killed myself
My heart and my soul they will slowly die...come back alive!
This is written in my blood
All I gave is all I could
I will warn you you ain't gonna take it
Take it not the easy way
Take it precisely as I say
For you know this is my own creation
I worked so hard on my own
And after all I have been grown
To the individual that you might fear
Hiding not behind my face
I'm so sure I found my place
From there confrontation feels so easy
Why is it so hard to kick a thought out of your mind
And keep it at the same time
Come see my eyes what do you see?
Tell me what you expect of me this is all I gave
I killed myself
My heart and my soul they will slowly die...come back alive!
This is built up with my sweat
I was the one who curled in dread
Maybe I just pulled it much too hard then
I walked my way with consequence
And ever searched for evidence
But there are some things you will never find it
Why is it so hard to kick a thought out of your mind
And keep it at the same time
Come see my eyes what do you see?
Tell me what you expect of me this is all I gave
I killed myself
My heart and my soul they will slowly die...come back alive!
08. Tears - Lyrics:
The dawn of all is the birth of our lives
We struggle to fill our lungs with air that we are breathing
Searching for ways time goes by and our quest begins
Still don't know who we are
Calling to mind all the years that passed by
All of our kind have to tell their own story
Hiding behind what we want to be - still believe
In what we want to be - ourselves - see ourselves
In a ruin steady stressed for the top so we can be blessed
Trying to reach the stars that seem to be fading
The nearer we get the more the distance is growing
And from my core deep in me some painful anger is roaring
Hold back my tears may be the wrong way I know
Why should I keep them back
Isn't weakness a strong part of me
Physical age means not growing in mind
The marks and scars on my skin they will guide me
But what lays in me?
Maybe I don't know it myself
Unspoken and not solved experienced but not involved
Hold back my tears may be the wrong way I know
Why should I keep them back
Isn't weakness a strong part of me
Let out my tears to give that world what I need to live
What I need to live to cry out what I really am
Calling to mind all the years that passed by
All of our kind still don't know who we are
Hold back my tears may be the wrong way I know
Why should I keep them back
Isn't weakness a strong part of me
Let out my tears to give that world what I need to live
What I need to live to cry out what I really am.
The dawn of all is the birth of our lives
We struggle to fill our lungs with air that we are breathing
Searching for ways time goes by and our quest begins
Still don't know who we are
Calling to mind all the years that passed by
All of our kind have to tell their own story
Hiding behind what we want to be - still believe
In what we want to be - ourselves - see ourselves
In a ruin steady stressed for the top so we can be blessed
Trying to reach the stars that seem to be fading
The nearer we get the more the distance is growing
And from my core deep in me some painful anger is roaring
Hold back my tears may be the wrong way I know
Why should I keep them back
Isn't weakness a strong part of me
Physical age means not growing in mind
The marks and scars on my skin they will guide me
But what lays in me?
Maybe I don't know it myself
Unspoken and not solved experienced but not involved
Hold back my tears may be the wrong way I know
Why should I keep them back
Isn't weakness a strong part of me
Let out my tears to give that world what I need to live
What I need to live to cry out what I really am
Calling to mind all the years that passed by
All of our kind still don't know who we are
Hold back my tears may be the wrong way I know
Why should I keep them back
Isn't weakness a strong part of me
Let out my tears to give that world what I need to live
What I need to live to cry out what I really am.
09. The Essential - Lyrics:
What's the meaning of love what's the meaning of pain
Is honesty just a phrase a lost ideal - just a name?
Is it character's weakness is it character's strength
Living up to your principles don't abuse any chance?
Ask me what has to be ask me why I sholud see
When you ask me this question my answer is me!
What is my role in time what's the way I should live
Steady presence in my mind what I can I sholud give
Don't push aside the fact that one day it will end
We will turn back to earth then the circle closes again
Ask me what has to be ask me why I sholud see
I want to know that is all
When you ask me this question my answer is me!
This is our fate so full of love
Hate and moments of tragic
Every moment means life
Breathe every breath
And inhale it as deep as you can
What's the meaning of love what's the meaning of pain
Is stability a phrase a lost virtue - just a name
Fascinating and strange what a heart takes inside
Love and hate sometimes so near
To each other so equal so tight
Ask me what has to be ask me why I sholud see
This is our fate so full of love
Hate and moments of tragic
Every moment means life
Breathe every breath
And inhale it as deep as you can
This is our fate so full of pain
Ecstasy and moments of glory
Every moment means death
Breathe every breath
And inhale it as deep as you can.

10. Faces - Lyrics:
All I have to tell you now my friend
I'll lead you to the certain and nothing said
But you know what I mean to you
Silent instead - and still you know my words are true
You know my words are true - 3x.
Keep in mind what I mean to you
I am the part you'd better like to hide
Half of your soul and your inside
A piece of your mind and your inside
A little more than you allow
I'm like your second face somehow
All I wanna tell you now my friend
You'd better take me by my hand
Perhaps it burns you or it feels cold
Come feel the opponent on your own
I am the part you'd better like to hide
Half of your soul and your inside
A piece of your mind and your inside
A little more than you allow
I'm like your second face somehow
Faces - I know you try to hide your second face
Faces - The harder you try the more you fall from grace
I am the part you'd better like to hide
Faces - I know you try to hide your second face
Faces - The harder you try the more you fall from grace.

12. Just Some Pain - Lyrics:
I know it well in fact I don't know anything
My so clear answer is just a silent speech
I see through you although my eyes are closed
My bleeding heart is to you exposed
My safe apperance threatens to collapse
What interference sucks off my sap?
While I listen close to you my mind is somewhere else
Your words: for me an empty phrase (with so much evidence)
Of course I know but please repeat your words
My soul is on fire and this feeling hurts
My safe apperance
Threatens to collapse
What interference sucks off my sap?
By all this pain inside this pain inside
I call back those feelings to my mind
By all this pain inside this pain inside
I call back the demons of my mind
I lie in your face in fact I speak the truth
You won't believe me that's for sure (but I don't care)
The pain inside it gives me strength to live
Some kind of love inside of my deepest core
My safe apperance
Threatens to collapse
What interference sucks off my sap?
By all this pain inside this pain inside
I call back those feelings to my mind
By all this pain inside this pain inside
I call back the demons of my mind
What is it I see?
What is it I feel?
By all this pain inside this pain inside
I call back those feelings to my mind
By all this pain inside this pain inside
I call back the demons of my mind
I call back the demons of my mind
I call back the demons of my mind
I call back the demons of my mind
I call back the demons of my mind
I call back the demons of my mind
I call back the demons of my mind
I call back the demons of my mind.
I know it well in fact I don't know anything
My so clear answer is just a silent speech
I see through you although my eyes are closed
My bleeding heart is to you exposed
My safe apperance threatens to collapse
What interference sucks off my sap?
While I listen close to you my mind is somewhere else
Your words: for me an empty phrase (with so much evidence)
Of course I know but please repeat your words
My soul is on fire and this feeling hurts

You won't believe me that's for sure (but I don't care)
The pain inside it gives me strength to live
Some kind of love inside of my deepest core

I call back the demons of my mind.
13. The Sleeper - Lyrics:
[Bonus Track]
I am inside you know it well
I wake you up when you are dreaming
I tell you where I like to dwell
Although I think this has no meaning
My favourite place would be your heart
Participate in what you are doing
This thrill is tearing me apart
Please don't get angry I am just fooling
When you think you are calm inside
When you lay your conscience sleeping
I open first one eye - then both
It is me that is calling again
When you think you are safe inside
And no one else can break this silence
Yeah that is the time when I awake
My friend I am here don't forget
I have some bad news and some good
You won't get rid of me try what you will
I tell you what to do you sholud
Do what I say and I can save you
When you think you are calm inside
When you lay your conscience sleeping
I open first one eye - then both
It is me that is calling again
When you think you are safe inside
And no one else can break this silence
Yeah that is the time when I awake
My friend I am here don't forget
When you think you are calm inside
When you lay your conscience sleeping

I am here don't forget this my friend.

14. What We Call Progressive - Lyrics:
[Bonus Track]
Looking back in anger no it is more
A slight breeze an impression
That every single day in life is more
A must do than a lesson
Our path is already planned and marked
And we are fitting in
It is so absurd the more we lose
They tell us that we win
The same old routine day by day
And no one seems to care
Houses are left at 8 o'clock
Another fruitless day appears
Can we call this civilisation?
It is more a thorn in our mind
For all eternity I will not know
For all eternity I will not know
Somewhere someone dies from heart
And some trivial catastrophes
They're hungry? I never knew the word
And third world sounds strange to me
Give the dog a bone to eat
And clean the floor inside
The routine of the day waits for you
Please reanimate your mind
Can we call this civilisation?
It is more a thorn in our mind
For all eternity I will not know
For all eternity I will not know
Free inside
A status that we lost a long time ago
Free in mind
The TV programm tells us how to live
Free inside
Our basics are lost and shallowness gets stronger
Free in mind
We forget the essential of life
Can we call this civilisation?
It is more a thorn in our mind
For all eternity I will not know
For all eternity I will not know.
[Bonus Track]
Looking back in anger no it is more
A slight breeze an impression
That every single day in life is more
A must do than a lesson
Our path is already planned and marked
And we are fitting in
It is so absurd the more we lose
They tell us that we win
The same old routine day by day
And no one seems to care
Houses are left at 8 o'clock
Another fruitless day appears
Can we call this civilisation?
It is more a thorn in our mind
For all eternity I will not know
For all eternity I will not know
Somewhere someone dies from heart
And some trivial catastrophes
They're hungry? I never knew the word
And third world sounds strange to me
Give the dog a bone to eat
And clean the floor inside
The routine of the day waits for you
Please reanimate your mind
Can we call this civilisation?
It is more a thorn in our mind
For all eternity I will not know
For all eternity I will not know
Free inside
A status that we lost a long time ago
Free in mind
The TV programm tells us how to live
Free inside
Our basics are lost and shallowness gets stronger
Free in mind
We forget the essential of life
Can we call this civilisation?
It is more a thorn in our mind
For all eternity I will not know
For all eternity I will not know.
