(Germany: Gelsenkirchen)
As I walked through this deathly quiet place
A tomb for every heart's disgrace
The chains lie silent on the stones
Walls are built out of skulls and bones
In obscurity I've lost my track
Between helplessness and shades of black
Too tight to move, too dark to see
Without a light to guide me
Is this where I meet my doom?
If all hope is gone, I accept my fate
I lay my head on this broken slate
When I'm dead assign me a place
Pile my bones and rest my soul
In this empty space
I took the wrong turn
And followed the forbidden path
To a place I should not be
A place of hatred and wrath
With every step I move forward (Forward)
It takes me two steps back
With every breath that I take (I take)
The sling gets tighter around my neck
If all hope is gone, I accept my fate
I lay my head on this broken slate
When I'm dead assign me a place
Pile my bones and rest my soul
In this empty space
Is this where I meet my doom?
My cold infernal tomb?
Desperate cries without a sound
The only way out is the way deep down
With every step I move forward (Forward)
It takes me two steps back
With every breath that I take (I take)
The sling gets tighter around my neck
Is this where I meet my doom?
If all hope is gone, I accept my fate
I lay my head on this broken slate (On this broken slate)
When I'm dead assign me a place
Pile my bones and rest my soul (Rest my soul)
In this empty space.
02. Endurance - Lyrics:
This is who we are
And this is where we stay
We are strong, we are determined
But not free of mistakes
Our life is the hardest lesson; it teaches us to resist
Still proud, still honest; our greatest gift
Every day is another crusade; we defend it with all we've got
Eye for an eye, armed to the teeth, blood for blood
We have to go straight until we fall
We take it the hard way
There's no need to change tomorrow
If we can change today
This is who we are
And this is where we stay
We've got to take our life back; one chance to make it right
Hold your hands beside the flame, breathe in and keep it alive
Every day is another crusade; we defend it with all we've got
Eye for an eye, armed to the teeth, blood for blood
We have to go straight until we fall
We take it the hard way
There's no need to change tomorrow
If we can change today
Obliterate what makes us weak
Full speed ahead, salvation is what we seek
What's done is done; let the past be the past
Arise and take each moment as if it's the last
Trust when no one believes
Live when you're almost dead
Breathe to stop drowning
Don't trust those lies they told you
Trust when no one believes
Live when you're almost dead
Breathe to stop drowning
Don't trust those lies they told you
Trust when no one believes
Live when you're almost dead
Breathe to stop drowning
Don't trust those lies they told you
Trust when no one believes
Live when you're almost dead
Breathe to stop drowning
Don't trust those lies they told you
We have to go straight until we fall
We take it the hard way
There's no need to change tomorrow
If we can change today
We can change today.
03. Levels - Lyrics:
A one way ticket to reality, destination unknown
A death trip to infinity or a journey back home
Is this really happening or only in my head?
Free fall in slow motion, maybe we're already dead
Should we drift apart
Or swim against the tide?
Just one simple choice to make
What is wrong and what is right?
We're all playing the same game, just on different levels
We're all suffering the same hell, just with different devils
Small gear within a big machine of sadness and sorrow
Fed with desperation and iron tubes to swallow
Narcotics running through our veins
To keep us calm, to numb the pain
Unreal stories implanted to our minds
An artificial coma, false truth, real lies
Should we drift apart
Or swim against the tide?
Just one simple choice to make
What is wrong and what is right?
Stories lie hidden in the sands of time
We look up to the sky for a single sign
Motionless on the ground as with a broken spine
Waiting for someone to stop our decline
We're all playing the same game, just on different levels
We're all suffering the same hell, just with different devils
Small gear within a big machine of sadness and sorrow
Fed with desperation and iron tubes to swallow
We don't know what we want
We don't know what we get
Two pills on the table
One is blue, one is red
We don't know what we want
We don't know what we get
Two pills on the table
One is blue, one is red.
04. Coward King - Lyrics:
Breathless, you reach for your crown
Beyond burns everything you've ever known
Just a poor man is all that's left
A scorched portrait is your bequest
Your tormented soul the demons shall keep
Onto parchment are composed your guilt and greed
The dust of decades underneath your feet
Your spirit still yearns, still seek
You had everything and you've lost it all
The highest flight is the deepest fall
Can't you hear the Darkness calls?
The tide that rises is the tide that falls
Coward King, your fortress walls have failed
Coward King, your whine will be to no avail
Coward King, the Kingdom stands ablaze
Your numbered days have turned blue to grey
Coward King, your fortress walls have failed
Coward King, your whine will be to no avail
Coward King, can't you hear the Darkness calls?
The tide that rises is the tide that falls
The tide that rises is the tide that falls
Breathless, you reach for your crown
Beyond burns everything you've ever known
Just a poor man is all that's left
A scorched portrait is your bequest
You had everything
You had everything
Can't you hear the Darkness calls?
You had everything and you've lost it all
The highest flight is the deepest fall
Can't you hear the Darkness calls?
You had everything and you've lost it all
The highest flight is the deepest fall
Can't you hear the Darkness calls?
Can't you hear the Darkness calls?
05. Mask Of Lies - Lyrics:
Visit me just one time, one time with your true face
Impress the strangers, so you like smoke and mirrors?
Decorate your façade to get what you need
They will let you down regardless
No mask of lies can hide the truth
No mask of lies will carry you
Reflect yourself just one time
And look deep in your eyes
Is it worth it, all the victims?
All the lies?
What will save you now?
Don't judge a book by it's cover
What will keep you alive?
Blunt knife on throats of each other
Don't rely on anyone, you're dealing with demons
With closed eyes, nothing on mind but your own beauty treatment
No mask of lies can hide the truth
No mask of lies will carry you
No mask of lies can hide the truth
The mask of lies will bury you
What will save you now?
What will keep you alive, what will keep you alive?
Reflect yourself just one time
And take a look deep in your eyes
This is the world you have created
Your own world of loveliness and hatred
This is the world you have created
Your own world of loveliness and hatred
This is the world you have created (You have created)
Your own world of loveliness and hatred
No mask of lies can hide the truth
No mask of lies will carry you
No mask of lies can hide the truth
No mask of lies will carry you.
06. Sinner's Kingdom - Lyrics:
This is the kingdom of the sinners
(This is the kingdom of the sinners)
Ain't no hope for the saints
(Ain't no hope for the saint)
We have to fight for what we believe in
(We have to fight for what we believe in)
We keep going forward never looking back
(We keep going forward never looking back)
Finally we have reached the lowest ground
There's nothing more to lose
Another chapter has just begun
There is so much left to prove
We are calm and resolved, even when the going gets rough
Go hard or go down 'cause enough is enough
The darkness behind us in deepest black
Keep going forward and never looking back
This is the kingdom of the sinners
Ain't no hope for the saints
We have to fight for what we believe in
We keep going forward never looking back
Never looking back
We will never look back
Go hard or go down is the headline of the game
Forget the old agony by causing new pain
When the going gets rough, we've gotta get rougher
Through all these years we've learned how to suffer
The darkness behind us in deepest black
Keep going forward and never looking back
This is the kingdom of the sinners
Ain't no hope for the saints
We have to fight for what we believe in
We keep going forward, never looking back
Never looking back (Never looking back)
We have to fight for what we believe in
We keep going forward, never looking back.
07. Hold Back The Time - Lyrics:
Hold back the time
Slowly we belong to yesterday's youth
It's hard to bear the ugly truth
Time waits for nobody and standstill is death
We seize every second like it's our last
Breathe deeply once, forget the time
Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye
With no chance to escape
We walk the line straight to our graves
Walking the line straight to our graves
The line straight to our graves
Try to hold back the time; it's running out too fast
All the years that we had are buried in the past
The more it goes, the more it takes away
On the path of time we've gone astray
Hold back the time
Time is no healer; time is a thief
Nothing lasts forever except our memories
Try to hold back the time; it's running out too fast
All the years that we had are buried in the past
The more it goes, the more it takes away
On the path of time we've gone astray
Try to hold back the time; it's running out too fast
All the years that we had are buried in the past
The more it goes, the more it takes away
On the path of time we've gone astray
No matter how many mountains we have climbed
And burning bridges we have crossed
In the end every moment we had
Was a moment we have lost, we have lost
Nothing lasts forever
Old pictures in gilded frames
Lock them deep into your heart
The memories are all that remains
Nothing lasts forever
Old pictures in gilded frames
Lock them deep into your heart
The memories are all that remains.
08. Masquerade - Lyrics:
Masks of iron, dirt and gold
Faces hiding, looks so cold
Gilded with the most precious jewel
Masks to cover, masks to fool
Chandeliers and cloaks of black
Beauty dancing back to back
With ugliness and jealousy
Behind the mask no one can see
No one can see your fuckin' identity
Burning candles on the floor
It feels like you've been here before
'Cause every night and every day
It's just another masquerade
Masquerade
Just another masquerade
Tear off your mask, tear off your skin
And show the world your disgrace
You can't take off your mask
It has become your only face
"What will be left," I ask
"When we stop the masquerade?"
When we stop the masquerade
Burning candles on the floor
It feels like you've been here before
'Cause every night and every day
It's just another masquerade
Masquerade
Just another masquerade
Tear off their mask (Tear off their mask)
And if it's still sticking to their face
Tear off their skin (Tear off their skin)
And show the world their disgrace
When we stop the masquerade.
09. Ignite The Light - Lyrics:
Ignite the light
In the light of a candle that gently gleams
Digging through the cullets of my broken dreams
I pick 'em up to put 'em back together
To start something better but life has other plans for me
At the end of the tunnel
I can see the light
There is still a little something left
Inside me to ignite
I look out of dead eyes to the naked floor
Searching the room but can't find a door
Give it up, don't resist, down on your knees
The chokehold I'm in makes it hard to breathe
It's so hard to breathe
No way outside away from here
My last hope disappears
At the end of the tunnel
I can see the light
There is still a little something left
Inside me to ignite
Fight fire with fire
Turn darkness into light
There's still a little something left
Inside me to ignite
Fight fire with fire (Fight fire with fire)
Turn darkness into light
There's still a little something left
Inside me to ignite
Against the flood I'm standing tall
Tear down the ruins before they fall
A rain of fire and bursting flames
Ashes and smoke are what remains
Against the flood I'm standing tall
Tear down the ruins before they fall (Before they fall)
A rain of fire and bursting flames
Ashes and smoke are what remains
Are what remains.
10. Farewell - Lyrics:
This is our farewell
The pain we've caused remains unspoken
A sanctuary for the heartless
A heartless home for the broken
The eternal night comes down and covers us from within
The city lights go black at the sight of your pale skin
Nothing's around except the will to comprehend
This is where it started and this is where it ends
Can't you hear my heart; it beats for you
Through all the time it beats for you
It beats for two
This is our farewell
The pain we've caused remains unspoken
A sanctuary for the heartless
A heartless home for the broken
We tried so hard but we have failed
We have exceeded the line and stayed jailed
Memories of a forgotten past guide us through
The best of me is the worst of you
Can't you hear my heart; it beats for you
Through all the time it beats for you
It beats for two
It beats for two
This is our farewell
The pain we've caused remains unspoken
A sanctuary for the heartless
A heartless home for the broken
The further we went on our path together
The further we have grown apart forever
The further we went on our path together
The further we have grown apart forever.
12. Arise - Lyrics:
[Featuring: Matthew Heafy]
This is our legacy, your heritage
Our life, blood and promises
We are an iron unity
With bloody shields against the same enemy
Against the same enemy
This is our legacy, your heritage
Our life, blood and promises
Out of the ashes we will rise
Like a phoenix on its first flight
This is the chance to build new life
We'll make history tonight
Your eyes are the window to our souls
Open them wide and lead us to our hidden wounds
To stop the rain, to melt the clouds
Heal it from the inside out
Heal it from the inside out
Heal it from the inside out
Against all odds we stand tall
No one can hurt us, nothing at all
Against all odds we stand tall
No one can hurt us, nothing at all
Against all odds we stand tall
No one can hurt us, nothing at all
Against all odds we stand tall
No one can hurt us, nothing at all
Now it's the time to fight and strife
Get rid of the mess inside, mess inside
Abandoned souls to purify
We carry on until we die
Out of the ashes we will rise
Like a phoenix on its first flight
This is the chance to build new life
We'll make history tonight
Rise, rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise
Now it's the time to fight and strife
Get rid of the mess inside, mess inside
Abandoned souls to purify
We carry on until we die.
13. The Bitter Man - Lyrics:
I am alone
I am alone; this bitter man that I've become
Hold my breath, laid to rest
Drown in my tears; there's nothing left of me
I am alone; the angry man upon his throne
I can't pretend, the great descent
Take my hand until the end
You see me on the horizon, I am the air you breathe
I sold my soul to the seven seas
Condemned and lost, pulled off course
I will never leave; I'm always yours
Each time I stand ashore with sand between my toes
I remember and I know I am alone
I am alone; this bitter man that I've become
Hold my breath, laid to rest
Drown in my tears; there's nothing left of me
I am alone; the angry man upon his throne
I can't pretend, the great descent
Take my hand until the end
The water will wash away my pain and sorrows
A stranger in the night who blindly follows, who follows
This is the path I choose and this is the place I die (I die)
When heaven rests itself upon the earth
I'm one step closer to the sky
To the one I loved, now lost
To the one I sheltered from the rain that turned to frost
To the sunken feeling when I saw your face
I will perish in never ending disgrace
You are the sea, I am the shore
I will never leave; I'm always yours
Each time I stand ashore with sand between my toes
I remember and I know I am alone
I am alone; this bitter man that I've become
Hold my breath, laid to rest
Drown in my tears; there's nothing left of me
I am alone; the angry man upon his throne
I can't pretend, the great descent
Take my hand until the end
There is a world inside me
It lives; it hurts; it barely breathes
I cast my heart into the sea
If it means it brings you closer to me.
