Genesis 08:15
Into the fall, autumn years have passed Commence control, the time has come at last Seeking shelter, peace I need to know, to put my soul at ease. What has this world come to There is nothing left that we can do Show us there’s a chance That our child can survive here too, even without you You take us beneath your wings For as long as we obey Born into a world of greed No one makes it on their own Trust me I only want your best Come on as you are this day We take you deep inside our warmth regardless of your will “Give up or die for the greater good” A promise worth More than one can say Obedience fails Stay the hell away Seeking shelter, peace The word is out, we don’t comment You take us beneath your wings For as long as we obey Born into a world of greed No one makes it on their own Trust me I only want your best Come on as you are this day We take you deep inside our warmth regardless of your will “Give up or die for the greater good” We haven’t seen the profit in our hands as you promised And we are all ashamed that we thought it was true, deceiving liars Justice can fall from grace And hit you with its own right pace Hunting your generations to come You destroy the love for me within Into the fall, autumn years have passed Commence control, the time we had has passed What kind of place is this? I don’t want my girl growing up in these circumstances. It’ll kill her. I can’t let her have the same misfortunes we had. She has to get a better life than this. Huh, this is no life.

The lack of you makes me turn in my sleep Proclaiming abilities I did not know was in me What I have paid, and offered you in blood Never returning. Never surrendering to you. Never give in to the torment of salvation My gaze seems to vanish as you lay your touch upon me (NO!) You had your chance, you spent it well and still I hunger for more I hate and love the part of me who believes The revelations have caught up with me All I live for is the hope of forgiveness For all I’ve abandoned in favouring you NO! Never again will I lay all my trust in your lies. My distress needs a conqueror of true lies I can’t fight it and I know I won’t. Deep in the heart of my soul shines the light That will keep me from leaving this place The thought of departure is gaining value Appealing to all of my senses as they fall The needle’s at gunpoint, saved from oblivion, How I endured it, I’ll never know I hate and love the part of me who believes The revelations have caught up with me All I live for is the hope of forgiveness For all I’ve abandoned in favouring you

I turn my head Confusion overwhelming me I must be dead Don’t understand what has happened to me I keep on falling I keep on running I close my eyes and try to focus (Everything just fades away) Memories of my innocence Lies vaguely in my mind Oblivion surrounds me eternally I know not where I belong Someone please come help me There is no sign of salvation In this godforsaken place The path of my destiny shines through your eyes The light hit my face like a mallet They try not to comprehend Suppressing all their feelings Professional judgement strikes all as one We live in a world of possibilities There’s no sympathy here for you to find We cannot understand why someone Could do such a thing to themselves. The world is fading before my eyes (Everything seems blurry and strange) My life recapitulates before my eyes Is this the end, was it all in vain Is this how I die?! Is this how I die? Oblivion surrounds me eternally I know not where I belong Someone please come help me There is no sign of salvation In this godforsaken place The path of my destiny shines through your eyes

Drifting 08:26
Selfpity is no more an option She rests an eternal sleep Her thoughts divided Tried to conquer her mind Life flashes before her eyes Nothing but pain She would do anything To break from this hell Oblivion surrounds me (My biggest fears come true) The world as I knew it (Seems to have no use of me) Where have I gone (I wanted to be left behind) The darkness, the sorrow Is crushing me One thing I remember The way you’ve treated me All attempts to earn acceptance seem superfluous Why don’t you just dispose of me? Her so called ”loved ones” All gathered around her The smell of guilt lay upon Each and everyone I'm sensing a presence (Familiar smells all around) The darkness descending (I try to open my eyes) My body’s not mine (Lost control over my own life) My eyes won’t open. Help me. One thing I remember The way you’ve treated me All attemps to earn acceptance seem superfluous Why don't you just dispose of me? Long time has gone Since my body was mine I wouldn’t know how to feel fine I won't try any more to earn their respect When all I get back is their hate And their fake sympathy She opened her eyes To find silence in the air All had vanished before her She thought they were there At last, she found her solitude

Legacy 06:30
Frustration and anger So frightened that I cannot speak These feelings within appearing (as the doors are shut) I cannot lie to myself Any more I need salvation from this Place I know Why can’t you let me out of here Haven’t I hurt enough? I need to get away from these white coats But where do I go? Walls closing around me Hard to breathe All hope is fading away Never wanted to go here Too much pain Why must I come here and face my fate? The treatment hurts What can I do? I just keep playing along with the needles I’ve got no control Just like the last time I was here against my will Why can't you let me out of here Haven't I hurt enough? I need escape from all these tests and needles But where do I go? I’ve seen all the doors close In my dreams Haunting me every night Ever since... This gruesome fate which brings me Back into this place Won’t let me rest until I shut the door and give in Why can’t you let me out of here Haven’t you caused enough? I will not suffer treatment any longer But where should I go?

Beyond the lies pain shines through Her eyes reflecting a silent scream The misconception of her innocence has gone The curtains for her eyes have left her What she knew will never be the same Holding on to the life that was before Before the pain in this endless path to misery The misery called life Why had she chosen this kind of life? How could her steps lead her so far into a lie? Her innocent eyes would mean nothing now So she finally understood what life is all about. Hold me close to your heart 'Cause I am dead set on dying This time nothing will change 'Cause I've been grasping at straws all my life And every time I ricochet back into the abyss. This time don't stop me The years were fading Passing by All hope is drifting away All seems futile Nothing’s going right Her fate not yet been sealed She was hoping to find her way out of this Struggling to find her path, in all the pain and grief She was aware that she needed help to live The help was holding out It never came, It never came... Hold me close to your heart 'Cause I am dead set on dying This time nothing will change My end will be inglorious but make no mistake, you played your part in what put me on medicine... She cried helplessly for all she had lost Holding on to the memories that made her strong Strong enough to work her way back to the life that she'd been dreaming of She was hoping to find her way out of this Struggling to find her path, in all the pain and grief She was aware that she needed help to live The help was holding out It never came, It never came...

Come listen to me and I'll show you the way out of your missery and all your pain I wouldn't say that today is better than another only that another day is one more prayer God damn whatever god put you away and let you scream in vain Don't you believe anything they say Just chime with me I'm broken and hung out to dry (I cannot breathe the air) Frail and suffocating every day (Tormented and strung out I cannot feel) Tormented and strung out I cannot feel Burn me up and take me out to sea Don't you feel like screaming out to all those kindred spirits out there and tell them: «This world is not for us!» So I come to you once again in your sleep, but this time there is something different A change? You still seem listless, unwilling to go on Yet not quite ready to let go I contemplate our existance; what's outside our subjective reality Listen, what is life but a slave to eternal death and decay? A fleeting moment of insignificant resistance against the inevitable Time kills all life, time kills me Time kills all life, time kills you I'm broken and hung out to dry (I cannot breathe the air) Frail and suffocating every day (Tormented and strung out I cannot feel) Tormented and strung out I cannot feel Burn me up and take me out to sea I'm not gonna fall in line and fall behind like the rest of the fucking herd You pinstripe cock sucker's not gonna pin me down to a desk, I'd rather die Than walk a mile in your misserable fucking shoes, you piece of shit! You just sit there and rot while I mock your insignificance «You see their smiles, nodding, laughing Masks, pretences... No one's gonna hurt you here. (They all lie to you) I promise you I'll make them go away!» I'm broken and hung out to dry (I cannot breathe the air) Frail and suffocating every day (Tormented and strung out I cannot feel) Tormented and strung out I cannot feel Burn me up and take me out to sea, yeah If you wake up tomorow in utter failure, I'll tell you this: when Death fails there is.. NO WAY TO DIE!

The bridge of sanity is lost I watch my life drift away Elusive nightmares take control All I long for is yesterday Discontent with the reality that flows through my blood Keeping it all to myself as time goes by No respect, no fragments of remorse for all I have done If we break the demands of perfection Conformist doctrinal conceptions United we would stand for eternity During a flawless silence Enduring all that comes from within Where the last curtain in the act of accomplishment is drawn All I do is reflect their perspective Seeing the world through their eyes But now I demand my turn at the wheel in my circle of life Say it loud, I can make it, I know I can You won’t let me live my life alone I’ll make you proud, to fit into the master plan Consisting of no one but you All the feelings I had for you Summoned up from the way down below All the things that I had to do Recognition shown with a cold gaze Far across the lands of injustice I travel to cure the pain I caused you Surrender my life to your control Mistakes made by me will no longer stand I fulfill my fate as I conquer Territories in my path Nothing else will suffice my commander But to lay down my life for the cause The greatest sacrifices are driven by honour Eternal glory awaits the one who falls Don't fall behind in the quest for answers Answers that no one has asked for. Thinking so highly of ourselves Questioning the existence of tomorrow Cold hearts bred in a dead world We try, and deny if we fail All the feelings I had for you Summoned up from the way down below All the things that I had to do Recognition shown with a cold gaze Far across the lands of injustice I travel to cure the pain I caused you Surrender my life to your control Mistakes made by me will no longer stand I fulfill my fate as I conquer Territories in my path Nothing else will suffice my commander But to lay down my life for the cause The greatest sacrifices are driven by honour Eternal glory awaits the one who falls Don't fall behind in the quest for answers Answers that no one has asked for.

United 10:00
Living life to the fullest has been the objective I would know whether I failed or passed How the story of my life was laid out Varies from time to time My version is I lived a life of pity Never including my destiny I once tried my best to accomplish All that meant the world to me Where did we do wrong, we had nothing but good intentions All suppressed by her own wish of rebellion Hoping for improvement deep in her mind, so she could see what she left behind The world gave her a crushing defeat I’m sorry for it all, I never meant to go this far I needed this to figure out who I am and who you are I’m sorry for it all but it has played out by itself I can’t go back to regenerate, I’m stuck on this shelf of righteousness I have lied and cheated my way through my whole life Don’t know what’s real and not any more My friends left... I bring misfortune to all Every little thing, said or done Will be remembered till we are as one United we stand, we have tightened the band Every little thing make us strong We'll hold together till we touch the sun United we stand, we have tightened the band There’s nothing stronger Stronger than bloodline Empires fall, as do Greeks of old What they lack is the perfect confession Say sorry for it all Relive those days When the world was not ablaze If I could take it all back I would be Free from my misery I’m sorry for it all, I never meant to go this far I needed this to figure out who I am and who you are I’m sorry for it all but it has played out by itself I can’t go back to regenerate, I’m stuck on this shelf of righteousness My version is I lived a life of pity Never including my destiny I once tried my best to accomplish All that meant the world to me Living life to the fullest Has been her objective I don’t know whether she failed or passed How the story of her life was laid out Fading from time to time I’m sorry for it all, I never meant to go this far I needed this to figure out who I am and who you are I’m sorry for it all but it has played out by itself I can’t go back to regenerate, I’m stuck on this shelf of righteousness
