02. Forevermore - Lyrics:

Warning sound of sirens, waking you up
This five-piece mayhem crew will force you to stop
Striking with power, no hesitation
We'll turn your head in less than an hour
Welcome to our nation

We will ease your pain
We'll ignite the flames

Underestimated, head to toe in dirt
Keep your distance for your own sake, try to stay alert
Despite what you think, despite what you say
You better take a tighter grip because we are here to stay

We will ease your pain
We'll ignite the flames
We'll no longer be servile
Not anymore

Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis
Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis

When and if that day will come
When all is gone and we are not around
Just close your eyes and listen hard
And we'll be back again

Underestimated, head to toe in dirt
Keep your distance for your own sake, try to stay alert
Despite what you think, despite what you say
You better take a tighter grip because we are here to stay

We will ease your pain
We'll ignite the flames
We'll no longer be servile
Not anymore

Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis
Forevermore
Together for what we all are heading for
No compromise no alibis
Forevermore

03. Roots Of Anger - Lyrics:

I nail your feet to the ground
And I will never let you go
Never let you go

I'll follow your every turn
Waiting for the final error
I'm right behind you

Oh, it's eating me inside
Tearing me apart
Killing me so slowly
Ripping out my heart

Oh, it's planting seeds in me
Keeping me alert
Paralyzed by the fear
Spreading the roots of anger
Roots of anger

I nail your feet to the ground
And I will never let you go
Never let you go

Oh, it's eating me inside
Tearing me apart
Killing me so slowly
Ripping out my heart

Oh, it's planting seeds in me
Keeping me alert
Paralyzed by the fear
Spreading the roots of anger
Roots of anger

04. 10.000 Ways - Lyrics:

Reckless and limp, small swollen brain
A gaze that reveals everything
Wet as a rat, been soaked for years
Drinking gin after gin

Insanity enters in...

Looking for the keys, violent as hell
Now hearing the words of truth
Blind mindless fuck, indifferent
And ready to waste another youth

Spinning wheels, speeding up
Braking too late, crashing through the gate
Destroying what gets in the way

Ah! there are 10000 ways to die
With honour and pride, heart open wide
We all want to leave
Ah! there are 10000 ways to die
Sometimes our destiny is something else
That we've always believed

Blood on the road that leads us to hell
Traces will vanish in a haze
Hate and disgust, no sympathy
The faster one will win this race

Spinning wheels, speeding up
Braking too late, crashing through the gate
Destroying what gets in the way

Ah! there are 10000 ways to die
With honour and pride, heart open wide
We all want to leave
Ah! there are 10000 ways to die
Sometimes our destiny is something else
That we've always believed

05. Holding On To My Pain - Lyrics:

This will be the day that
I will close my eyes and ears
From the evil of the world

These are my last hours
Before I will let it go
I'm so close yet so far

One step behind, one more to go
I'm almost there
I'm still alive and grinding on
I still believe

Days go by
And I'm holding on to my pain
Keeping my eyes away
From what makes me weak, fragile and small

This is my time, I own it
Until I crash and fall
I'm keeping it all inside

I am in control
Or that's what I keep on saving
I am a wreck, am I alive?

One step behind, one more to go
I'm almost there
I'm still alive and grinding on
I still believe

Days go by
And I'm holding on to my pain
Keeping my eyes away
From what makes me weak, fragile and small

06. Swirled - Lyrics:

Pitch black skies whip down the rain
That freezes your blood and makes you feel weak
The wind and the cold are bringing you down
You fight, you'll lose, you just don't know it yet

The never ending path you crawl is slowly killing you
You'll never ever get back home, now you know it too

Every single step you take gets you closer to the bitter end

The never ending path you crawl is slowly killing you
You'll never ever get back home, now you know it too

What is the secret?
The power you're insanely driven by?
And what is the source
That makes you think that you can fly?
One more!
You'll feel like a king
The ruler of the world
One more!
You'll feel like a god
Just before you're swirled

One... more... time...

You see the light that gives you the warmth
You pray, you beg, but no one can hear

The never ending path you crawl is slowly killing you
You'll never ever get back home, now you know it too

What is the secret?
The power you're insanely driven by?
And what is the source
That makes you think that you can fly?
One more!
You'll feel like a king
The ruler of the world
One more!
You'll feel like a god
Just before you're swirled

07. Down With Me - Lyrics:

Long time ago
Someone sang a song about living in a world
Where there are no wars, no hate
Just harmony and love

Long time ago
Someone told a story about a dream
Where people could live in peace
No matter who they are

For thousands of years
I have seen how man's been creating his own hell
Been wondering about the human race
And the ways they brought themselves down

I've never shed a tear
For the one that slowly killed himself
And never looked ahead
I will come when the time is right
Just to make another one

Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free
I'll break every dream you've ever had
And make your life so, so sad
Make your life so sad

Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free

Long time ago
Someone sang a song about living in a world
Where there are no wars, no hate
Just harmony and love

Long time ago
Someone told a story about a dream
Where people could live in peace
No matter who they are

I call your name
I tease you, I tame
I hold out my helping hand
You're first in line
I'll give you the sign
That's written in stone and sand

Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free

Come closer my friend
And don't be afraid
I'll take care of you and your dreams
Now the wise men are dead
Forget what's been said
Because nothing is what it seems

Down with me
There's no light
And no one will ever be free
No one will ever be free

08. Face In The Mirror - Lyrics:

Time after time
We hear the world's cry
No matter how we try
We're always one step behind

This is the way we live
These are the hands that give
There's a face in the mirror
The eyes of a stranger

You can burn yourself
If you fly too close
To the sun that shines so bright
You can turn away
Or decide to stay
Where the darkness takes over the light

We are weakened by the virus
There's nothing we can feel
If this will be our last song
I welcome you to the real

This is the way we live
These are the hands that give
There's a face in the mirror
The eyes of a stranger

You can burn yourself
If you fly too close
To the sun that shines so bright
You can turn away
Or decide to stay
Where the darkness takes over the light

09. Solid Ground - Lyrics:

Don't know about the future
Don't know about the past
Clinging to life like
Each day was by last

Out of the cold

I've searched every corner
I've walked every way
Given up my mind
Just to see a new day

Out of the cold
Into the fire

I'm on the run
From what I don't know
And I'm going nowhere

I'm on the run
Trying to find some shelter
I'm looking for solid ground

I am coming home
I'm done running around
Longing for warmth
And your solid ground

Out of the cold
Into the fire

I'm on the run
From what I don't know
And I'm going nowhere

I'm on the run
Trying to find some shelter
I'm looking for solid ground

10. The Source - Lyrics:

As tired as I am
What keeps me going on?
Exhausted by anxious
I push until dawn... until dawn

So what is the price
That I'll have to pay?
And where is the place I can finally stay?
And find my own peace

Oh, I open my arms and take it all

Higher - My mind's flying higher
Above all of my hopes
Fire - That feeds my desire
The fuel for my mind
The everlasting source

As long as I breathe
I live
As long as I live
I give
And take what belongs to me

Oh, I open my arms and take it all

Higher - My mind's flying higher
Above all of my hopes
Fire - That feeds my desire
The fuel for my mind
The everlasting source

11. Great Man Down - Lyrics:

Another great man is gone
But his songs will live forever
And they'll never die
For decades he carved
His words in our hearts
The master, the legend now lies

With honour and pride
He walked through his life
Sometimes it was far too hard
He stood like a man
Defending his land
Got beaten, rejected, got scarred

Another great man is down
Only hero around
The soldier of our times
Never listened, never cared
For the words that they said
So he paid for his crimes

These are the stories and songs
From the land of ten thousand lakes
The stories where heroes will never die
These are the stories and songs
From the land of ten thousand lakes
The stories and songs
Where the great one will always rise

Another man, brave and tall
He took care of us all
Never bent under pressure or pain
With a heart like the sun
He stood tall and wouldn't run
Away from the wind and the rain

There are the stories and songs...

So the story goes on
And years go by
That's for sure
Memories will live forever
And we'll be singing along
