It's the same wheel of tears that will track us down Don't give up this chance, this could be your last It's the same primal fears that will tear us apart Don't give up this chance, this could be yours We create the wonder And we erase its trails Running back to nowhere A hope that never fails Just a glimpse of heaven For eons in hell We're chasing happiness with chains wrapped around our torso Desire, fulfillness, ennui and finally despair The infinite loop goes on It's that sound of your voice that could flip me around You compromise too fast, don't forget your past Like the criminal returning to the scene of the crime Don't give up this chance, this could be yours Back and forth we wander Like dogs that chase their tails After all these memories It's the beauty that remains Just a glimpse of heaven For eons in hell We're chasing happiness with chains wrapped around our torso Desire, fullfillness, ennui and finally despair The infinite loop goes on The infinite loop goes on

Where is your god, when you can't sleep at nights When you swallow your anger and your chest burns inside And who is your god, when you sin in his name Is it fear, is it death, or an unfinished frame? I let my life slip through a wormhole The waves mislead me to my downfall I may not have found the sacred shrine But never again, I won't bow my head Nor fall to my knees or give up my dreams The illusion of choice has left me spinning I passed the point of no return But never again, I won't bow my head Nor fall to my knees or give up my dreams For all of my sins, I refuse to believe The burden of faith, at the edge of a cliff What lies beyond, beyond the realm of dreams The death of a sun, no torment nor screams I just exist but I'm not alive I carry the load of someone else's life Disoriented by false hopes But never again, I won't bow my head Nor fall to my knees or give up my dreams For all of my sins, I refuse to believe The burden of faith, at the edge of a cliff What lies beyond, beyond the realm of dreams The death of a sun, no torment nor screams Is my reflection really mine Or is it a mask that leaves me yearning blind I've not found myself but it ain't over But never again, I won't bow my head Nor fall to my knees or give up my dreams My dreams My own life's observer, that's what I've become I wonder when my time will come or has it yet begun Who made the choices for me, was I ever mine Tired of feeding my loneliness, my death clock is on the run Desire should be the child of need not scheduled reassurance I'm not asking you to choose nor run just asking you to sit and listen To change the loop you better feel, embrace and bind all voices in your head All of your primal fears and instincts that decided for you And to survive another day as human being you better break that chain of wrath And fill the world with all the love and justice that you crave for Well it's a pity to use your essence In a shell with infinite doors Choose your exit, make it worth it It's a non-refundable war Well it's out there, go explore it Change is rough but not impossible Well it's out there, it's out there And it's calling for you Freedom is covered with thorns Freedom is covered with blood But this is where you belong This is where you belong Where is your god, when you can't sleep at nights When you swallow your anger and your chest burns inside And who is your god, when you sin in his name Is it fear, is it death, or an unfinished frame?

Part I - Childhood Addictions An endless run through a forest made of silk A burning sunrise on a magic desert field My pace was concrete and on my back were growing wings I chased the colors, but darkness faded in And now everything feels empty Now everything feels cold I fight alone, so alone And now everything seems broken I'm distracted from my soul I fight alone, so alone I tried to dream, I tried to trust I tried to expand my thirsty lust It was all a game, a losing plan I lost control, so I run and run I feel alive but my heart is missing I'm feeling whole, but the child is missing I tried to shout it but you never listen But you never listen I feel alive but my heart is missing I'm feeling whole, but the child is missing I tried to shout it but you never listen But you never listen Now everything feels empty Now everything feels cold I fight alone, so alone Now everything seems broken I'm distracted from my soul I fight alone, so alone Part II - Teenage Madness I'm awake, now your precious world is mine I will succeed where others failed Do not stare back, this ship has sailed I believe in my venomous eyes I am sure I can read what's behind I've got sick of your hideous lies I'll sit back and enjoy the ride I'm your judge, revenge is all I seek I won't be merciful, there will be consequences I believe in my venomous eyes I am sure I can read what's behind I ve got sick of your hideous lies I'll sit back and enjoy the ride I'm the king of this world When I rise, stars and dust will veil me I won't flee from the fight, even if death finds me early I'll revive by my roots, an old witch once taught me the way I'll escape from my cage and will fly till my blood is filled with solid hope Part III - Wake Up Call All this time, all my life I'm asking for nothing, begging for nothing I'm in control of my fate All this time, all my life I' m asking for nothing, begging for nothing I'm in control of my fate It's a feeling, you'll receive it, when you face up to the walls It's a fever, you'll recover, but hallucinate along It's a shiver and it will trigger when your bridges fall apart You will tremble, you'll deny it and you will seek your frozen heart All this time, all my life I'm asking for nothing, begging for nothing I'm in control of my fate It's burning in your eyes It's crumbling on your thighs A fragile world, out of control, the reason to fight for your soul All this time, all my life I'm asking for nothing, begging for nothing I'm in control of my fate All this time, all my life I'm asking for nothing, begging for nothing I'm in control of my fate

Stay behind these lines It's getting late you see Suddenly you're running out Of places you can hide But your mind is holding up All the keys that unlock these doors You won't miss me through the storm Shuffling all this dust Oh, so low now, so low now But so high now and I' m coming for you So low now, so low now But so high now and I' m coming for you Stay beneath your heart of steel Until its days run low Seize your youth, escape yourself There's always time to glow But your mind still holding up All the secrets that rule this world Don't miss the walls ignite I've already set the stage Oh, so low now, so low now But so high now and I' m coming for you So low now, so low now But so high now and I' m coming for you Such a pretty face till I smash the mirror Such a sapient mind till I fade away All the tales are real, you've got nothing to fear of You'll be running back crying out for more I'm stuck inside this maze With a taste that's getting sour Deprived of freedom thoughts There comes my darkest hour But my mind still holding up All the tricks that can flip the board I won't wait in the line to ride I will thrive on the mountain side Oh, so low now, so low now But so high now and I' m coming for you So low now, so low now But so high now and I' m coming for you Such a pretty face till I smash the mirror Such a sapient mind till I fade away All the tales are real, you've got nothing to fear of You'll be running back crying out for more I stepped barefoot into the forest of treason The dire wolves and the amazons Arrogance, the search for a reason Brought me here, at the cliffs of doom Such a pretty face till I smash the mirror Such a sapient mind till I fade away All the tales are real, you've got nothing to fear of You'll be running back crying out for more

It started with drops of treason Is that in our blood? An endless hunt for power Oh that's in our blood We traveled a thousand miles since then Is that far enough? Repeating the same mistakes Oh we 're the heirs of the hateful Condemned in this plastic world We're the heirs of the powerful We're destined to fight with our bones We 're the heirs of the hateful Deserted in infinite holes We 're the heirs of a handful And our debt is to finish this war It is not a misconception And it's not a game Nor another conspiracy theory no Our lives and our futures at stake Apathy, sweet apathy Don't wait till it knocks on your door We 're the heirs of the hateful Condemned in this plastic world We're the heirs of the powerful We're destined to fight with our bones We 're the heirs of the hateful Deserted in infinite holes We 're the heirs of a handful And our debt is to finish this war Hush my brother And feed your soul There are no countries The earth is your home Hush my sister And free your thoughts Embrace this slaughter Beneath is our cause The greed for power The need for thrones Is only human Our shadow form Hush my child And free your mind We dragged you here But it's you that will thrive They'll try to break you But you will not fall We'll stand together We'll end this war Stop, look, it's the end of the war It's here, can't you see, the decision is ours

I cleared my thoughts and my memory I faced the abyss unarmed Free from the oasis I hunt for Free from the angels I seek Reach the side of the light Choose your fights Here, with faded senses, we'll rise again Even turned into ashes, we'll rise again And we 'll never pray for rain We will always feed off our flesh-eating pain Struggling with hatred alone When it's only us who's to blame Reach the side of the light Choose your fights Here, with faded senses, we'll rise again Even turned into ashes Out of breath, out of space Immersed deep inside your story Out of hope, out of faith You're reaching the winters of glory Don't try to dig it You won't escape The peace of mind Is a state you've got to earn Don't try to explain it You might get lost The leap of faith Is a myth you've got to understand You've got to understand Well I cleansed my soul and I'm not returning I can see the road eternally burning Nothing will kill us again Nothing will kill us again Nothing will kill us again

We stare at the circle of life passing by Untouched, unhealed Devoted to the stars and to the wings of the eagles And we, like snakes, we crawl back to our sacred fortress Never going out, never asking why Still waiting for those promised lands A drop of silence into our endless oceans But we will never have to search for darkness cause it's right in front of us And we will never have to seek for truth, cause we've never heard it, wouldn't even recognize it And we will never have to burn for freedom Cause in the end, my friend What are we supposed to do with it?
