01. We Are The Many - Lyrics:

You've gotta be fucking kidding me (kidding me)
We are, we are one voice - one heart!
We are, we are one voice - one heart!

You sound like a broken record

Different words for the same old lies
You know we'll be the ones who suffer
You gain power while we pay the price
Every time you open your mouth
You spread a disease
You try to make us voiceless
You try to make us believe

We are the many

Like drops of water
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing
We are the many
Like a plague of locusts
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing

We are the many!

Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing
We are the many!
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing
We are, we are one voice - one heart!

Any disaster is very welcome

In the darkest days
You promise the sun
Like the savior of a world in debris?
Yeah right
You've gotta be fucking kidding me (kidding me)
You've gotta be fucking kidding me
You've gotta be fucking kidding me

We are the many

Like a plague of locusts
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing
We are the many
Like a plague of locusts
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing

We are the many!

Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing
We are the many!
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing
We are, we are one voice - one heart!

One voice - one heart!


You've gotta be fucking kidding me

You've gotta be fucking kidding me
You've gotta be fucking kidding me
You've gotta be fucking kidding me

One voice - one heart!


We are the many

Like drops of water
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing
We are the many
Like a plague of locusts
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing

We are the many

Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing
We are the many
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing

We are, we are one voice - one heart!

One voice - one heart!
One voice - one heart!

02. The Bogeyman - Lyrics:

The bogeyman is waiting
In the shadows of your dreams
You're afraid to fall asleep
You're awake 'til you're too weak
Come sweetie come it's bogey time
let me in and you'll be mine

This pain

I bottled up inside
This pain
You'll never know (know)
This pain
That's accusing you
My scars don't even begin to show

This pain

I bottled up inside
This pain
You'll never know (know)
This pain
That's accusing you
My scars don't even begin to show

Your soul is broken

And can never be mend (never be mend)
You are trapped in a silent cage
Come sweetie, come

Come sweetie come it's bogey time

Let me in and you'll be mine
Run sweetie run, cry and fade
This will be your last serenade
Run, cry, fight, die

This pain

I bottled up inside
This pain
You'll never know (know)
This pain
That's accusing you
My scars don't even begin to show

This pain

I bottled up inside
This pain
You'll never know (know)
This pain
That's accusing you
My scars don't even begin to show (begin to show)

Here comes the bogeyman (bogeyman)

Here comes the bogeyman (bogeyman)
Penetrates your dreams
Here comes the bogeyman (bogeyman)
Taking white
Giving red.

03. Memorial - Lyrics:

This is a memorial
To honor the long gone
This is a burial
My heaven has gone wrong

Those times we had so long ago

Like yesterday, I miss 'em so much
I can't let go

My heart is full of hate

It's bleeding love
Father
I have to say goodbye
To keep my self alive

I can still see you

You're fading away but
I can still feel you
Though you’re drifting away from me (away from me)
You’re drifting away

This is a memorial

To honor the long gone
This is a burial
My heaven has gone wrong

Are you still here, still in this place?

What's left behind, where is god's grace?
You broke my faith

My heart is full of hate

It’s bleeding love
Father
I have to say goodbye
To keep my self alive

I can still see you

You're fading away but
I can still feel you
Though you're drifting away from me (away from me)
You're drifting away

My heart is aching

That's all I know
Hope is fading
I'll let you go

My heart is aching

That's all I know
Hope is fading
I'll let you go

This is a memorial

This is a burial

This is a memorial

This is a burial

I can still see you

You're fading away but
I can still feel you
Though you're drifting away from me (away from me)
You're drifting away.

04. No Tomorrow - Lyrics:

Write down a story I'd rather forget
Won't mend the heart that's shattered and shred
Lord knows we tried, lord knows we failed
Mistrustful feelings slowly prevailed

We fade and fade from kiss to kiss

With everything that lovely is
We've both grown cold from fight to fight
Until our love has died

All my dreams are far away

You took my life and gave me hell
Give me back my yesterday
Or should I finally bid farewell

Never give all the heart for love

No effort's ever good enough
Highs result in lowest lows
We disavow 'til it clearly shows

A bad hand dealt, too blind with trust

Gave you my all, till all was lost
There ain't no rose without a thorn
Our love could grow and be reborn
And when you walk away
Then walk away my dear
But when you turn around
I wont be standing here

No tomorrow

No tomorrow

All my dreams are far away

You took my life and gave me hell
Give me back my yesterday
Or should I finally bid farewell

All my dreams are far away

You took my life and gave me hell
Give me back my yesterday
Or should I finally bid farewell

No love

No tomorrow
No tomorrow (No tomorrow).

05. Edge Of Black - Lyrics:

Black gold, black gold
Our soul's been sold (sold)
It drips down our throats
Fills up our lungs
We can barely breathe
Can't spread our wings

Golden horizon

Burst in flames
Burning despair
Again and again
Golden horizon
So bright, but it's fading
Burst in flames
Eternal return
We're waiting and waiting
Again and again and again

We know

But we'll never change
It's true
That's what we became
We're standing on the edge
We'll never change
We'll never change

We know

But we'll never change
It's true
That's what we became
We're standing on the edge
We'll never change
We'll never change
Edge of black
Edge of black

Like a king with a rusty crown

Like a saint on its way down
To the deepest ocean floor
Forevermore!

Black gold, black gold (gold)

Our soul's been sold (sold)
We all know the truth
But we'll never change
A shadow of a saint
That's what we became

Golden horizon

So bright, but it's fading
Burst in flames
Eternal return
We're waiting and waiting
Again and again and again

We know

But we'll never change
It's true
That's what we became
We're standing on the edge
We'll never change
We'll never change

We know

But we'll never change
It's true
That's what we became
We're standing on the edge
We'll never change
We'll never change
Edge of black
Edge of black

The destroying angel shall arise

To give salvation to a world of lies
We will drown in an ocean of black
And we all deserve it
No way back!

The destroying angel shall arise

To give salvation to a world of lies
We will drown in an ocean of black
And we all deserve it
No way back!

The destroying angel shall arise

To give salvation to a world of lies
We will drown in an ocean of black
And we all deserve it
No way back!

We know

But we'll never change
It's true
That's what we became
We're standing on the edge
We'll never change
We'll never change

We know

But we'll never change
It's true
That's what we became
We're standing on the edge
We'll never change
We'll never change
Edge of black
Edge of black
Edge of black.

06. Davy Jones - Lyrics:

I'm not going down that road again
You will drown by yourself again
In your ocean of made up lies
Rising water slowly shuts your eyes

The waves are coming in

They're washing you away
They're leading you astray
I can be your anchor no more

I'm not going down that road again

You will drown in the crimson rain
A flooded soul, a cold embrace
Davy Jones's locker till the end of days

The waves are coming in

They're washing you away
They're leading you astray

The waves are coming in

They're washing you away
They're leading you astray

I'm so sorry

Cause I'm not sorry
I'm so sorry
Cause I'm not sorry

I'm so sorry

Cause I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry

The waves are coming in

They're washing you away
They're leading you astray

The waves are coming in

They're washing you away
They're leading you astray

I didn't see that coming


Get lost

Get the fuck away from me
Get lost
Get the fuck away from me
Get lost
Get the fuck away
Get lost
Get the fuck away.

07. Deadly Dream - Lyrics:

Blood for blood
Heart for heart
Woke up in this dream
An ugly world unseen
Unleash the beast in me
Taking a walk on elm street
I sing you a lullaby
In which your fears come to life
A good place to die
No chance to survive

Eye for an eye

A feast of sacrifice
I'm the shadow, I am the light
No place to run, no place to hide
Blood pours from the sky
We're dancing in the rain
Pandemonium, a symphony in pain

I am your demise

I am your demise
I am your demise
I am your demise
You're my sacrifice
You're my sacrifice
You're my sacrifice
You're my sacrifice

I am the shadow, I am the light

You're my sacrifice
I am the shadow, I am the light
I'm your demise

Who I am?

I am you!

Those who enter here

Will forever disappear
In the darkest night
I whispered in your ear
You will be mine
Cause it's high time
Carnage
Chaos
Endless pain
Will drive you insane

I am nemesis

I give you death
Now you belong to me
Die in agony
Greetings from hell
These are my dying words
Every time I kill
I hope to end this curse

I am the shadow, I am the light

You're my sacrifice
I am the shadow, I am the light
I'm your demise

Killing you is killing me - 4x.


Am I awake or still asleep?

Don't wake me up, don't make this real
Am I awake or still asleep?
Don't wake me up, don't make this
Don't make this real.

08. Open Letter - Lyrics:

Corporate cunts and pencil pushers
Prostitute your mind for cash
This way of live, it made me suffer
Trade your given time for trash

You all work jobs you badly hate

To keep the bills at pay
For shit you bought, but you don't need
What self-deceptive way

Right from the cradle

Straight to the grave
They want to tell us
How to behave
Right from the cradle
Straight to the end
They want to force us to pretend

An open letter to you all

Your greed will take it's toll
We're with our backs against the wall
But it's only built to fall

You tell me dreams are made to fail

Like there is no escape
Prepared to walk
The longest trail
Away from mental rape
Intimidate me with your lies
I'm paying any price
And when I come to say goodbye
Can't look me in the eye

Right from the cradle

Straight to the grave
They want to tell us
How to behave
Right from the cradle
Straight to the end
They want to force us to pretend

An open letter to you all

Your greed will take it's toll
We're with our backs against the wall
But it's only built to fall

But I chose not to live like that

I'm fighting my way back!

An Open letter to you all

An Open letter to you all
Your greed will take it's toll
An Open letter to you all
It's only built to fall

An Open letter to you all

Your greed will take it's toll
We're with our backs against the wall
But it's only built to fall
Built to fall.

09. Dein R3.ich - Lyrics:

(So much) hatred inside - so close to ignite
But what you hate is a reflection
A reflection of the love denied
And what you love is denial
Denial (that) makes this love a lie
Afraid to escape - to break your fate
Open this gate
Before it's too late

Take a look in the mirror

What you see is a broken smile
Caught in a world of false believes in a prison - where all hope will die

Ich bin der Dämon!

Zeig' nicht mein Gesicht!
Erkennst Du mich?
Erkennst Du mich nicht!?
Ich bin der Dämon!
Durchbreche das Licht!
Ich bin Du - Du bist ich - Los wirst Du mich nicht!

Du wirst mich nicht los... - 3x.


Now that I can see you - I let you go

Du wirst mich nicht los!
Now that I can hear you - I let you go
Wir sind eins!

Now that I can see you - I let you go

Du wirst mich nicht los!
Now that I can hear you - I let you go
Wir sind eins!

Ich sehe Dich

Ich erkenne mich!

Ich bin der Dämon!

Zeig' nicht mein Gesicht!
Erkennst Du mich?
Erkennst Du mich nicht!?
Ich bin der Dämon!
Durchbreche das Licht!
Ich bin Du - Du bist ich - Los wirst Du mich nicht!

Du.. mein Dämon!

Ich erkenne Dich!
Du warst die Hoffnung
Warst das Licht
Du.. mein Dämon!
Ich erkenne Dich!
Ich zerstör' Dein R3.ich
Unsere Bande bricht.

10. Broadcast To Damnation - Lyrics:

Changing channels, watching the drama
Sit and fade while losing your karma
Day by day they feed your brain
Lay your thoughts in hidden dreams
Those who watch, or those who serve
I guess we get what we deserve

Spineless and faceless

Go fuck yourself
Don't ask why
Heartless and brainless
Go fuck yourself
You know why
Pointless and senseless
Go fuck yourself
Don't ask why
Aimless and faithless
Go fuck yourself
You know why

It's killing me

This war in my head
It's killing me
We can't break free
It's killing me
This war in my head
We can't break free

Consume the light, consume the lie

Forget the wold, forget your life
I cast a spell on you and everybody else
Who doesn't give a shit for someone else
The world around you is an ugly place
You're not gonna die with a smile on your face

Illness and sickness

Go fuck yourself
Dullness and darkness
Go fuck yourself

The virus is out and there is no escape

A silent killer is on his way
The virus is out to choke your brain
A silent killer is after you
It's all in vain (it's all in vain)

It's killing me

This war in my head
It's killing me
We can't break free
It's killing me
This war in my head
We can't break free

I don't wanna know about your madness

I don't wanna know about your low life existence
Broadcast to damnation.

11. This Oath - Lyrics:

Remember the time I burned all bridges to you
It still breaks my heart in two
How can I gain your trust again?
How can I make you believe again?

My heart beats just for you

I'll never let you go
Take this oath
I love you
My heart beats just for you
I'll never let you go
Take this oath
Everything is just for you

Which words are strong enough

To make us rise from the ashes
Forgiven is not forgotten
I want to be with you for now and forever
But forever is not even quite enough

Be my haven, be my anchor

Be my guiding light and lead us home
My heart is close to burst
My horizon is on fire
And the sky turns from blue to grey
Take my heart and save my soul

My heart beats just for you

I'll never let you go
Take this oath
I love you
My heart beats just for you
I'll never let you go
Take this oath
Everything is just for you
My heart beats just for you
I'll never let you go
My heart beats just for you
Everything is just for you.

12. Modern Warfare - Lyrics:

Welcome to war

Everybody knows you and everybody told you

That nobody needs you and nobody cares
Everybody
Is at war with their fingers on the board
What's real and in your head
You release your poison to the world
This is the modern plague

Welcome to war

You can't escape

If this is real, I'd rather go blind

Than have this world pulled over my eyes
Cause in the end, it's all in my mind
And you're the one who's left behind

Everybody knows you and everybody told you

That nobody needs you and nobody cares
Everybody
Is caught in a world of make believe
Get a life - this is not real
We allow ourselves to be deceived
A virus, no one could heal

Welcome to war

You can't escape

If this is real, I'd rather go blind

Than have this world pulled over my eyes
Cause in the end, it's all in my mind
And you're the one who's left behind

If this is real

If this is real

Welcome to war

You can't escape

If this is real, I'd rather go blind

Than have this world pulled over my eyes
Cause in the end, it's all in my mind
And you're the one who's left behind

FYI

I don't care if you fucking die
FYI
I don't care if you fucking die.
