Last man standing
Eyes to the distance
Waiting for the rain to come
Let it all pour
Down on this body
Let the water wash the pain away
I am the father
I am the son
I am the savior
I am the scum
I am the crazy
I am forlorn
With nothing left
You come undone
Let it all pour
Down on this body
Let the water wash the pain away
The demands were high, the greatest sacrifice
Letting go of the one, so that the rest survives
But after ages, there is no reason why
For trusty servants to still prematurely die
I am the father
I am the son
I am the savior
I am the scum
I am the crazy
I am forlorn
With nothing left
You come undone
Let it all pour
Down on this body
Let the water wash the pain away
Away
Floating down where the ocean meets the sea
Lost and unfound, it is too late for me
The demands were high, the greatest sacrifice
Letting go of the one, so that the rest survives
But after ages, there is no reason why
For trusty servants to still prematurely die
You are the father
You are the son
You are the savior
You are the scum

A Fight to Survive
04:30
|
|||
|
Since yesterday
A fight to survive
I’m loading up
To conquer the demons in this life
A tooth for a tooth
An eye for an eye
I will not bow down
Even if only half of me survives
And so they fall
I will slay them all
Violate
Disintegrate
My body
My cage
This fierce elixir
Running through my veins
Furious and vile
Destroying everything in its place
I try to hold on
Hold on with all my might
It’s to no avail
I’m only a spectator in my own fight
In my own fight
Will I survive?
Aegrescit medendo
Aegrescit medendo
Aegrescit medendo
I was never in control
I step aside
Breathing calmy
I am alive
Violate
Disintegrate
My body
My cage
My body is my cage

Forevet Lost

|

|
I thought that I could make amends
I fought until the bitter end
My downfall made me finally realize
The false mirror I had put before my eyes
The wounds laid bare
The vessel empty
The scourge destroyed
More than the eye can see
Traversing down on the river red
Of the venom the masses so massively bled
The stream of consciousness is fading to black
Tired of waiting no redemption ahead
Forever lost in this forsaken place
Forgotten are my long lost days
Soul of a soldier
With a broken body
The heart of an innocent child
Aging so fast
The wounds laid bare
The vessel empty
The scourge destroyed
More than the eye can see
Traversing down on the river red
Of the venom the masses so massively bled
The stream of consciousness is fading to black
Tired of waiting no redemption ahead
Let the sky fall
On my broken spirit
Let me lie here
Drenched and cold
Let the light die
I won’t need it
I close my eyes
As death takes hold
Forever lost in this forsaken place
Forgotten are my long lost days
I am no soldier
I am no warrior
A crippled fighter
Fractured and bled

Into The Storm
05:02
|
|||
|
With your body aching you keep plowing through
You have a weary soul, but that won’t ever slow you down
You keep your secrets in hope no one will feel
That your heart is heavy, the hurt you must conceal
Insanity beyond reproach
Into the storm I will rise again
Insanity beyond reproach
This rising tide I must stand against
Take away all the pain
Tear away the charade
Strip away all the shame
And behold what remains
You keep on running, but you have nowhere to hide
Embrace the truth, spill the gloom bottled up inside
Follow this confounded path and take a look at what you find
That yesterday’s heavy clouds are now today’s clear skies
No
I’ve done it always and like this is how I do
You might claim common sense, but I will never follow you
So let me fall down, because I will never see
Your voice of reason, oh wait, that voice is me
The voice is me
Insanity beyond reproach
Into the storm I won’t rise again
Insanity beyond reproach
This rising tide I can’t stand against
All the pain taken away
(All the pain taken away)
The charade torn away
(The charade torn away)
The shame stripped away
And now, nothing remains

False Reality
03:53
|
|||
|
The essence of all before me
As long as I could make you see
The twilight that keeps on pulling
Grasping firmly at me
The corruption is ever growing
It is rotting from the core
Pushing slowly towards the surface
In its wake ruins beyond restore
The seams are all torn
Hope is forlorn
In the fallacy of false reality
Persisting eternally in this realm of insanity
Where you failed to see
And you failed to hear
The curtains came down
Your mind is forever clouded
With the lies that you fabulate
At hand is all the wisdom
But denial sedates
Still the feeling will overcome you
One day you might realize
A domain of impassable darkness
The look through other’s eyes
The embellishment of all
Shattered in pieces it will fall
The seams are all torn
Hope is forlorn
In the fallacy of false reality
Persisting eternally in this realm of insanity
Where you failed to see
And you failed to hear
The curtains came down

Empty Streams
04:57
|
|||
|
A darkness risen, dearth of light
Broken souls look up to starless night
This newfound void inside
Forever remembers the day our prospect died
With certainty of tragedy, hopes reeling into turmoil
A future bountiful with fertile thoughts, lies barren on this broken soil
Abundance feasts in the distance, yet in famine we will sleep
Faint the notion of forsaken children, of misery they weep
Of misery we weep
No trace to leave behind
Only our footprints fading slowly
Decaying over time
A hollow portrait, empty streams
Deceitful, nothing is as it seems
Fixated on extremes
One’s true self lies somewhere in between
With certainty of tragedy, hopes reeling into turmoil
A future bountiful with fertile thoughts, lies barren on this broken soil
Abundance feasts in the distance, yet in famine we will sleep
Faint the notion of forsaken children, of misery they weep
Broken
We are
Worthless
Fear not the darkest hours of life
There is merely absence of light
Only death, renders hope futile

Alles is Eindig
03:57
|
|||
|
De ordeloze chaos
Eist mijn aandacht op
Stemmen in de duisternis
Mijn gedachten slaan op hol
Al lang zijn zij vergeten
Geluk is een dwaalbegrip
Het waanidee van pais en vree
Een verdorven aangezicht
Het zaad ontkiemt
Er groeit een roos
Maar zodra de winter valt
Dan vriest die dood
Alles is eindig
Niemand die de dood bedriegt
Daarom begrijp ik
Alles is voor niets
De ordeloze chaos
Eist mijn aandacht op
De duisternis schreeuwt luider
Ik ga eraan kapot
Al lang zijn zij vergeten
Geluk is een dwaalbegrip
De ondergang van pais en vree
Een verdorven aangezicht
