IKON LYRICS
Moments away, return to this place
Where they all lay down together
For their memory lasts forever
Through the fields where all is lost
In a bid to cut the cost
A line on a dark day
Blue sky is underway
Unwelcoming silence
A line on a dark day
Thoughts of dismay
Too much now to take
And the honour lingers on
But it won’t take back the wrong
And the emptiness they share
To the love for those who care
A line on a dark day
Blue sky is underway
Unwelcoming silence
A line on a dark day
And a million tears are shed
But it won’t bring back the dead
Hold a picture or a frame
Rewind and share the blame
But it’s all too hard to move
For their love can never prove
Light a candle amongst friends
Or alone it never ends
A line on a dark day
Blue sky is underway
Unwelcoming silence
A line on a dark day

A Day That Past
Because of you my silence has broken
In sight of what no one ever knows
From above I feel a sense of fate
In myself a longing to escape
What have I done what has this come to
To reach the end so soon
A day that past
My life before me
Lost in time
With you
Listen to the voice that cries within us
Forever more a secret that I hold
Don't lead me into a false existence
For I must stop this hatred that I've cast
What have I done what has this come to
To reach the end so soon
A day that past
My life before me
Lost in time
With you
What has come between us
Never leaves us when we cry
When we lie amongst ourselves
Run to you run to you
Away from everyone
Run to you run to you
(Away from all)

A Moment in Time
Tomorrow I think I'll die
You just don't understand why
Tomorrow I think I'll die
Save myself from all these lies
It's all the same
It's a silly game
Please don't let me fall to shame
It's all the same it's a silly game
Please don't let me fall
To shame
I think I will die tomorrow
And save myself from all this sorrow
I just don't understand how
You can do this to me now
It's all the same
It's a silly game
Please don't let me go through this pain
It's all the same
It's a silly game
Please don't let me go through
This pain
I think you have forgotten how we once were
Because you just don't care anymore
Don't you worry because I will never
Forget how you are so clever
You cheated and lied your way through this affair
To try and dominate this pair
You cheated and lied
You cheated and lied
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
Yes I am

Amongst the Runes
To cast the stones beneath full moons
And stumble down to brighter tunes
So much to hide
Though it may seem
Too deep for those who never dream
Open the gates, the flood begins
I try the light but forced to dim
No substance I can ever hold
No doubts that I have ever told
Two ways to choose
Or lay amongst the runes
(High, so high)
From dusk to dawn in doom
(High, so high)
No flowers ever bloom
(High, so high)
A starkness grates and shreds
(High, so high)
To cast amongst the runes
Staring into outer space
In which no feelings can replace
Without connection I must try
To bide my sense, never deny
To tones that ring inside and read
That can’t replace the drones instead
I drift and force myself to see
That no one takes it all from me
Two ways to choose
Or lay amongst the runes
When time stands still
Nothing ever fills
Through the golden age
To an empty page
As I sit in dust
To a vision’s lust
Upwards I will gaze, before Odin’s rage
Or lay amongst the runes
From dusk to dawn in doom
No flowers ever bloom
A starkness grates and shreds
To cast amongst the runes
From the Amongst the Runes EP
Afterlife
I'll live forever
And see beyond the stars
And I'll love forever
Then fall into your arms
I'll cry forever
And flood the world apart
I'll hate forever
And burn your wooden heart
An omen waits for all
Some things will always be
And stand the test of time
Will you spare my soul
Or will you set me free
No man will ever know
Forever I must roam
I'll reap forever
A tale so lost in doubt
And you'll sleep forever
There will be no way out
If you cry forever
Why drown in your own sorrow
Why care forever
When there is no tomorrow
An omen waits for all
Some things will always be
And stand the test of time
Will you spare my soul
Or will you set it free
No man will ever know
Forever I must roam
To the darkest star I wake
In the evening moon I take
When I see you there
I fall beyond despair
An I'll live forever (4)

Alone
It doesn't matter anymore
It doesn't matter anymore
I'm not the person I used to be
I'm not the man I thought I once was
I don't know quite where I am
Where I am where I am
I'm sitting here in a dark corner
Looking at nothing but always something
Always something
My eyes are fixed on a vision
Of you, of you
My eyes are fixed on a vision
Of you, of you
Of you
Of you

An Act Of Fate
A whisper so clear
A light that won't shine
No words can explain
No need to remind me
Looking for clues
No road here to fail
I'm guided by stars
But lost on the trail
I came down on hope
Fell right into fire
First thought it a joke
Now seems you're a liar
To have and to hold
As I thought I should know something
If that's what will be
Your put to the test
To find your way home
No need to remind you
So cover your eyes
Don't shed all those tears
So long now today
Goodbye to all fears
I came down on hope
Fell right into fire
First thought it a a joke
Now seems you're a liar
To have and to hold
As I thought I should know something
As I thought I should know something (4)
I came down on hope
Fell right into fire
First thought it a joke
Now seems you're a liar
To have and to hold

Apparition
No stone remains unturned
A mystery that now compels me
The shelter where you once rest
A shadow that now surrounds me
I feel that it's so strange
Is it me that I now follow
Your mind is so deranged
In hurt I now find sorrow
You are my apparition
And help make my decisions
Vanished without a trace
Return to fight the chase (2)
The candle that burns inside
Will set the world on fire
I'll head my own desire
And hope that it takes me higher
I feel that it's so strange
Is it me that I now follow
Your mind is so deranged
In hurt I now find sorrow
You are my apparition
And help make my decisions
Vanished without a trace
Return to fight the chase (2)

Ashes of Blue
Blue eye in the moon
I won’t betray you
We’ll make a secret room
Oh, keep it in you
The sweet delay through
Ashes of blue
Some things I do were never made for show
In that world where people have to know
And no mortal should go
To where I’ve been tonight
No angel would fly
Beneath our ashen night
Blue love in the loom
I won’t deny you
We’ll say it was in the rune
Rue utterances that spoken too soon
Cry ashes of blue

As Time Goes By
Its just slipping away
Slipping away
Faster and faster
Always faster
As time goes by
I see myself falling
Falling faster
Always faster
As time goes by
I see myself falling
Falling faster
Always faster (4)
I see myself
Losing control
Losing control
Losing control
I see myself
On the edge
On the edge
Falling and falling
As time goes by
I see myself falling
Falling faster
Always faster (4)

Beginning Of The End
I give what it takes
You get what you want
For my mistakes I'm well aware
If I could go back
I'd do it again
But well before I'm drowning
I cannot reassure
As I have lost my vision
I've fallen to the floor
I can't fight my decision
Now I can see
I have my control
From despair
I'm back again
You tried to deceive
I'll never forget
For now you'll pay and suffer
I cannot reassure
As I have lost my vision
I've fallen to the floor
I can't fight my decision
I know that things could never be the same
I've gone too far and now that I have changed
Does it feel the same for you (Repeat)
I gave what you wanted
But now it's too much
How much longer can I stand
I've broken the chains
That kept me restrained
So let me go and begin again
Begin again(Repeat)

Beyond Grey Skies
Far away
Another place
Beyond the stars
Beyond the sun
In my dreams
I have seen the colours
In my dreams
A forgotten world
If you feel
The way I do
If you've seen
Through my eyes
Don't betray
Me now
I have come here
Only for you
In the distance
A change is coming
To look beyond
All I have seen
I had a vision
Of another world
I had a vision
Beyond here and now
There is a place
For you and I
There is a place
Beyond grey skies

Black Roses
She doesn't know me
She doesn't care
Behind her darkness
Behind her stare
She sees it all
She sees it all
She sees it all
She sees it all
And in my dying hour
She gives me black roses
And as my time shall pass
I'm falling for her
My time is ending
My time draws near
My time is ending
My time draws near
Behind her darkness
Behind her eyes
Behind her darkness
There she lies
And in my dying hour
She gives me black roses
And as my time shall pass
I'm falling for her
And now my time has passed
I've fallen for her

Blue Snow Red Rain
I know that things can never be the same
No man can stop, deprived again
For all the good that screams inside
Can I control, can I survive
And the sky will fall, blue snow red rain
No heaven or hell will be the same
And the sky will fall, blue snow red rain
And it's colder now
I sense there's things that we just can't explain
The hand of god, falls down again
Beyond this instant everlasting maze
May hold the truth, there's so much to save
And the sky will, fall blue snow red rain
No heaven or hell will be the same
And the sky will fall, blue snow red rain
And it's colder now
The glaring eye that leads the blind
To the path they never find
And the sky will fall, blue snow red rain
No heaven or hell will be the same
And the sky will fall, blue snow red rain
And it's colder now

Call Of Despair
Something beyond the shadows
Hiding beyond the light
Enter the darkened forces
No one to hold you tight
Try to control such emotion
I must control these thoughts
Look beyond the day now
Or suffer in silence
I hear you call
I didn't come here
To cause you pain
In the heat of the madness
I am not to blame
I didn't come here
To cause you pain
In the heat of the night
Things are not the same
Within me there is a madness
Something controlling me
There is an evil within us
Another part you can not see
What have I done to deserve this
I did not cause your pain
A fate beyond my control now
I am not the same

Camouflage Heart
This emptiness is it what I've chosen
The feeling of death fill me like a curse
It seems so strange but somehow quite familiar
Familiar and cold and totally isolated
If I love you
Will you stay
If I hate you
How can I live with the pain
If I love you
Will you stay
If I hate you
How can I live this way
You've put yourself in this time you will suffer
Turned me away how can I return
Is this the price the price for believing
You pushed me away how can I go on

Communion
I lay to rest oh though it seems
Can I explain uncertain dreams
Disillusioned of my certainty
What appears and takes over me
I pray that I'm alive
They hold me deep inside
The satan of my sleep
Oh why my soul he keeps
I try to break them free
They never answer me
Oh how can this be
Banished humanity
Who will believe
These visions that keep haunting me
Will you concieve
My hatred and misery
You can't deny
This rainbow conspiracy
A matter of time
The curtain falls for all to see
I pray that I'm alive
They hold me deep inside
The satan of my sleep
Oh why my soul he keeps
I try to break them free
They never answer me
Oh how can this be
Banished humanity
And now it seems to be so clear
The fallen angels have reappeared
They've changed the way I see
They have betrayed my destiny
I pray that I'm alive
They hold me deep inside
The satan of my sleep
Oh why my soul he keeps
I try to break them free
They never answer me
Oh how can this be
Banished humanity

Condemnation
Reflection in someone's eye
Is all I see
I sometimes hate myself

I look into the future
Darkness lies ahead
A shadow of a man that once was
A shadow of a man that once was
Condemnation
To justify existance
A task I have tried
To believe in god
To believe in you
How can you expect me to believe in
Something that can't be true
How can you expect me to believe in
Something that can't be true

Departure
If I go and lead myself astray
If I think I'm better of this way
I thought that things would come between us
I always knew that things would end this way
I tried so hard to never take the blame
I sense that things will never be the same
What ever comes of me what ever will I face
I can depart I will retrace
Now we start to move within our space
Once again a path that I will chase
Close the door return wherever you once came
There's nothing left here to save
I tried so hard to never take the blame
I sense that things will never be the same
What ever comes of me what ever will I face
I can depart I will retrace
You did depend on me
And now you've thrown it all away
At first things seemed so strange
Will you ever see the day

Die Stille Erd
Die stille erd, die stille erd
Ich frage mich was ist sie wert
Wenn land und luft in pest gefahr
Nie wieder wird es wie es war
In guten alten zeiten
Die luft war rein
Das land war frei
Von giften und pesticeiden
Heutzutage im wasser meiden
Die banken ja die banken
Erfinden täglich scranken
Der zugang zu unserem geld
Wird mehr und mehr in frage gestellt
Zahle ich mal ein
Muss es gleich besteuert
Nehme ich es heraus
Fallen steuern dafür aus
Wer redet da von zinsen
In meinen kassenbuch
Meine mühe ist vergebens
Wenn ich nach inhen such
Wir benutzen plastikkarten
Für jeden kleinen kauf
Und zahlen dann am ende
Doch immer wieder drauf
Wir leben in einer wel
Wo nur regiert das geld
Alles andere wird verboten
Somit bleiben wir idioten
Der grosse bruder wacht über dich
Hält dich bei der stange
Wenn du einmal daneben tritst
Dann macht er sich gleich bange
Sie munkels hier sie lügen dort
Sie ziehen alle stränge
Der freiheit flüget sind gestutzt
Betäubt die ganze menge
Doch ich bin grei im geist der welt
Ich fühl mich ungebunden
Die wahrheit ward mir offenbart
Seit frieden ich gefunden

Distance
Distance keeps us apart
Distance will break my heart
So silent my death will be

So desperate to end this game

So distant our lives will be

Surrounded by enemy

Echoes of Silence
I have waited an eternity to be with you
All my life I have waited
I would give it all to be with you
Anything to be with you
With you, with you, with you...
I would give my life to be with you
Anything to be by your side

Fall Apart
If I wake from dreams
Shall I fall in pastures
Will I wake the darkness
Shall we torch the earth
If I wake from dreams
Shall we find the emptiness
That breaks the silence
That shall stop our hearts
If I wake from dreams
Shall we cry together
For the howling echoes
And restart the night
And why did you say
That things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart (2)
If I wake from dreams
For the glory of nothing
For the cracking of the sun
For the crawling down of lies
If we fall from dreams
Shall we push them into darkness
Stare into the howling
And clamber in the night
If we fall from dreams
All my prayers are silenced
To love is to loose
And to loose is to die
And why did you say
That things shall fall
And fall and fall and fall
And fall apart (3)
And why did you say
That things shall fall

Fatal Attraction
I've heard so much about you
There's more to what it seems
I felt a force around you
A negativity
Over my shoulder
Beside myself
I cannot escape
The wrath itself
Your pushing me over
I'm left all out of place
I cannot see clearly
You've gone too far
I can't say what I think
As I don't know for sure
Is this a passing phase
Or a fatal attraction
Over my shoulder
Beside myself
I cannot escape
The wrath itself
You're pushing me over
I'm left all out of place
I cannot see clearly
You've gone too far
Can't you leave me alone (2)

Father of Lies
I searched for heaven and searched for hell
Each day that passed I bid farewell
In the end they’re both in me
I make the most of all I see
I break away from all these chains
Intend on never being saved
Don’t walk on water or breathe fire
No life on earth will take me higher
Spare me
From all your revelations
Hear me
Can’t take it anymore
Release me
From all my hesitation
Leave me
No further can I fall
In a moment things can change
Letting go of all I crave
Under cover undermined
Inner peace is hard to find
Saving grace never defined
The holy grail has scoured my mind
Once bitten now twice shy
No part of you I’ll ever buy
Spare me
From all your revelations
Hear me
Can’t take it anymore
Release me
From all my hesitation
Leave me
No further can I fall
Father of lies
Stacked against you
Father of lies
Laws prevent them
Father of lies
The vow is broken

Life’s new token
All along you’ve only tried
To cover trails of blood behind
Point the finger shift the blame
All in the fallen angel’s name
All is written, all’s unwell
Time to break this ghastly spell
If I could grasp my inner voice
Forward now, there is a shoice
Spare me
From all your revelations
Hear me
Can’t take it anymore
Release me
From all my hesitation
Leave me
No further can I fall

Fine Line
Absence is my religion
Foray my words do speak
Torn from my own incision
This day forever bleak
I stand in my own pity
I crawl upon it's face
I feel I am a victim
For madness I can taste
Sometimes I think of me
Sometimes I think of you
But most of all I know
What more now can I do
It all must pass to reason
It all will fall from grace
And now in my obsession
It leads to such a waste
Confronting my horizon
It leads me cold and fray
To touch will end in treason
For this I cannot pay
Sometimes I think of me
Sometimes I think of you
But most of all I know
What more now can I do
It all must pass to reason
It all will fall from grace
But now in my obsession
It leads to such a waste

Ghost In My Head
There's a ghost in my head
It keeps me alive
It drags me around
So I can survive
I listen to silence
I howl in my sleep
I do what I want to
Forever so deep
There's a ghost in my head
It's just passing through
There's a ghost in my head
And I wonder
Is it you
There's a look in my eyes
And a voice in my head
If I woke up without you
I would rather be dead
I give no resistance
When I'm on my own
With or without you
I'm never alone
There's a ghost in my head
It's just passing through
There's a ghost in my head
And I wonder
Is it you
I see in the distance
I look to the skies
But when I look at you
I see your disguise
You're my ghost in my head
You've kept me alive
You've dragged me around
Now I have survived

God Had Fallen from the Sky
God has fallen from the sky
You can’t hear the angels cry
All truth to show, the thieves lament
A circus now, without a tent
The lion now, has been set free
A ghost now lay in misery
Time is here to celebrate
The fallen kingdom muse compensate
God has fallen from the sky
The one who stand for all creation
Has no concern for desolation
The sins of man from his own hands
The holy land won’t understand
You feel the need to die and blame
Go ahead, destroy his name
Far more have died in the name of good
Than for the dark misunderstood
God has fallen from the sky
New reign has come, no need to cry
God has fallen from the sky
The golden earth, no more shall die.

Wishing that their god would stay
You’d think they knew he has abandoned them

In Faith
I'll meet you on the far side
Where the sun and moon entwine
And the clouds will roll though heaven
With you to ride my time
I'll give you all my loving
I'll give you all my heart
I wait in faith you'll come to me
One day I will depart
And if I put my trust in you
Will I lay my soul to rest
A nowhere man till then am I

A slave to all false prophets
And to dreams that never come true
I gave my life to the devil
Now I give it back to you

Could I see the other side

That I kept so deep inside
But now in his own weakness
In faith he will abide

In Trust I Return
Turn your life to happiness
Turn your tears from sorrow
Place your trust in your command
For they will surely follow
Feel your life hang by the thread
When answers show your weakness
Beyond this earth there lies a hand
And shadowed lost shall lead you
This will be the day life will surely fade
You will hold no mercy
This will be the day take her hand and pray
For a new beginning
Is there truth behind the mask
Of prophets and their meanings
There's much more than we can see
A sense of hope and freedom
Face our gods upon your knees
Except our destination
Fear of change is only for a bad imagination
This will be the day life shall surely fade
You will hold no mercy
This will be the day take her hand and pray
For a new beginning
Some day
Turn your life to happiness
Turn your tears from sorrow
Place your trust in your command
For they will surely follow

And pass the roads that meet the sky
To travel far beyond your means

Towards the strangest light I’m entwined
And deeper I move again
So silent I’m lost forever
I couldn’t believe you if it were true
You’ve shown me by now through and through
Discarded my pride
And left me without choice
If I ever knew would it be the same
And then I could feel that I have gained
And keep my pride
No need to refrain
There’s no more that I can say
An outcome of surrender
No one will come your way
In so long you can’t remember
In movement beyond the shadows
Towards the strangest light I’m entwined
And deeper I move again
So silent I’m lost forever
With hope we wait for what life will bring
And take away to now begin
To understand where I have been
With no end to this journey
You’ve drowned me forever

Life Without End
Betrayal - Is it what you want
Deceit - Is all you will get
Hate - Is your only weapon
I can believe in you
When all I know and feel is true
Something is here it lies within
There is life without an end
I can't believe in nothing
Now I have seen it in you
I can't believe in nothing
Now I have seen
The truth - Was enough to make me
Revenge - I will not weaken
Sorrow - Is all you will get
Tormented minds that see as one
A broken heart
A broken dream
The end is here it is nearing fast
It's up to you
It's up to you
I can believe in you
When all I know and feel is true
Something is here it lies within
There is life without an end
I can't believe in nothing
Now I have seen it in you
I can't believe in nothing
Now I have seen it all

Lord Of Darkness
Things have changed so much
Nothing's left the same
Here in this darkened room
Calling out your name
I see your eyes
I live it everyday
Left with your memory
I pray and pray and pray
As I look into the darkness
I turn and walk away
And things don't seem the same
As I look into the darkness
I turn and walk away
Though will you call my name
What was once my life
Ended long ago
What now shall I do
This curse you put me through
Left here in the darkness
Calling for God's grace
Left here in the darkness
Left without a trace
As I look into the darkness
I turn and walk away
And things don't seem the same
As I look into the darkness
I turn and walk away
Though will you call my name (2)

Loving the Enemy
Can I rely on the things that mean less to me
Can you deny this hurt you have placed on me
When I try to understand this void that you can't fill
Will you let me take away what I have given you
What is my enemy
So close that I can't see
What is my enemy
You've placed inside of me
What do you hide when you move right back from me
A change of tide when I curse your destiny
If you think I'll understand then stop and think again
Now I've opened up my mind I know that you don't care
What is my enemy
So close that I can't see
What is my enemy
You've placed inside of me
I have learnt again
No trust to depend
No letter will I send
No lies to defend
When you held my hand I forgot the fool I really am
And when you called my name I came running to you without shame
I could never understand just what I can't fulfill
And I broke the barriers that kept me standing still
What is my enemy
So close that I can't see
What is my enemy
You've placed inside of me

My Crucible
The storm may never end
I’m pushed to comprehend
A trial and tribulation
A move to devastation
The pain begins to throw
And leave me naked
I only hate you more
Mistake, now I can’t take it

My clouded vision took over me
Please hold me under until I can’t breathe
The days grow so much longer
An emptiness that fills
My wish to feel a stronger life under will

My Shadow Of Selfishness
As I walk through these winter winds
I wonder what the day will bring
My search was solemn intensified
I wish my thoughts had never died
I focus away from myself
And now I can heal all the doubt
I am the servant for all I can portray
I've misplaced my heart
I'll find it again
Behind my own mask illusion has bled
And now I can stop my shadow of selfishness
I stumble forward and back again
I watch the clouds and leaves descend
Others pass I envy them
As this hour comes to an end
I focus away from myself
And now I can heal all the doubt
I am the servant for all I can portray
I've misplaced my heart
I'll find it again
Behind my own mask illusion has bled
And now I can stop my shadow of selfishness
If I stop at these roads ahead
Sometimes I feel like I am dead
I had to find the strength to carry on
And take me back where I belong
My shadow of selfishness

Revolving in pain

On The Trail Of Tears
You will dry your tears now
You will cry no more
The sadness you are feeling
You won't feel any more
You are not to blame
For the trail of tears
The journey begins now
With the death of your friend
A new moon is with us
To shed light where darkness falls
His time had ended
He will return soon
Reasons for this madness
Beyond both you and I
The truth it comes so slowly
It ends all too soon
How could you have known
That he'd give it all away
So what have we done
To choose your fate
How do you feel
When your dreams come tumbling down
Do you feel responsible
Do you take the blame
In this final hour
He gave it all away
To look beyond the reasons
There is a sense of hope
I know what you're feeling
The pain he put you through
But the time has come
To forget the past
And lay to rest
All the bitter memories
There is a reason
It's beyond you and I
There is a reason
Beyond your trail of tears

Overcome
And when I try to keep
This hate I feel so deep
The question grows and grows
When sadness overflows
And when I try to hide
Your touch I can't deny
Each time you ask me why
I raise my head up high
Exposed to your decision
Withdrawn I turn to cry
I can't complete my vision
Forever afterlife
But now in my conclusion
I fail in your illusion
I walk towards transition
Again I wonder why
Overcome I see the way
Holding this moment
When daylight never fades
Overcome with shades of grey
Desire in motion
The loss of yesterday
To all you expectations
Indifferent I may be
Does every situation
Dissolve in front of me
To all your fates and fortunes
Misguided you won't see
If I could only torture
This curse you've placed on me
Overcome I see the way
Holding this moment
When daylight never fades
Overcome with shades of grey
Desire in motion
The loss of yesterday
I wish that all will pass
Nothing hangs over me
I tried to make this last
And keep my dignity
Replace all that we've lost
Before you pay the cost
I'm driven towards pain
Back to the start again
Overcome I see the way
Holding this moment
When daylight never fades
Overcome with shades of grey
Desire in motion
The loss of yesterday
Overcome I see the way (2)
Overcome with shades of grey (2)
Overcome I see the way (2)

Your mind reads like an open book
My life and soul you already took
Then leave me hanging on a rope
And expect that I could cope
How could I ever let you go
As when I did, lo and behold!

Only to tear it all apart

A psychic vampire leaves her traces
I don’t want to know anyone like you
Obsessive person with many faces

Fuck I tried to understand

Reality is Lost
Is anyone out there?
Can anyone help?
This is my cry
My cry for help
Can anyone hear?
Can anyone see?
What is happening
What is going on to me
I’ve got this chance
This one last hope
The pressures from above
I just can’t cope
How hopeless and naked
This feeling of isolation
So incredible it’s devine
Everything I thought was once mine
Reality is lost
Oh reality is gone
I said, reality is lost
Oh reality is gone
Rome
The city burns along the hillside
Only our minds will now remain
Beyond the walls is no salvation
Inside the walls our strength contains
The holy lives in isolation
Grabbing far more than they need
The sun beats down on desolation
Honour will rise, reclaim and bleed
No mercy
No mercy

All roads lead to…
Crosses melt on the horizon
The sleeping soldier wakes with glee
Christian fool falls to the wayside
Resume the empire grand and free
Rome, Rome
All roads lead to…

Secrets Within
Yes I know the secrets
That are within your heart
Certainty within you
The gravestones never marked

You will not illude me
This time I have won
Victory is very near
So very close to me

Somewhere Else
The sensation
Enter the feeling
You've come too close
But don't move away
I feel uneasy
As if too close
I see you watching
Every move I make
And as I watch from a far I see it appear before me
We are somewhere else
There is something more
This is a dying moment
Make it all last
A mental image
Of what I've become
Some sort of reaction
Only if I could
I watch from a distance
For what I don't know
It's an awareness
Of something more
And when it comes I am sure I will know
We are somewhere else
There is something more
This is a dying moment
Make it all last
As this moment comes to an end
And fades from my mind
I will take a last breath
And try not to forget all that I am
And in the end it will all fall into place
We are somewhere else
There is something more
This is a dying moment
Make it all last

Stone Frailty
Broken promises
You leave me without face
My hands are tied behind me
And now I'm always there in despair
Those frozen tears we shed
Shattered an icy floor
To void my restless soul
As it burns inside of me, let me be
Your eyes will never see
Distorted my memory
Don't stop what's meant to be
Stone cold misery
Help me realize
Before i fade away
This page that falls before me
It seems my tainted fate, it's too late
Lost in this endless dream
Forever in decay
This night that follows me
Will I awake in time, left behind
Your eyes will never see
Distorted my memory
Don't stop what's meant to be
Stone cold misery
I tried to understand
I tried to set you free
I tried to see it your way

Your eyes will never see
Distorted my memory

Stranger I've Become
An enemy who hides close to you

There used to be a way now it's gone
Suffer the weak suffer the strong
All I ever felts was so wrong
The choice I've made that's torn us apart
Uncertain we wait the path unknown
The power of hate the power we're shown
And now it's too late for what's been done
Cry for the weak and cry for the strong
I find it hard sometimes to keep my faith alive
This search my destiny will darkness follow me
Awake from the storm we have grown
A shelter of grief a shelter of stone
My trust has betrayed all I know
No choice I've made an endless decay
In sickness I watch all has been thrown
Surrender dictate how can we know
Is it too late for what's been done
Call on the weak and call on the strong
I find it hard sometimes I push my faith aside
The search what can it be now darkness follows me
There must be a way that we have known
Strength for the weak more strength to the strong
No clouds of doubt will cover us all
Don't hide from the truth don't hide from the cold
More certain I wait and all shall be known
The power of faith the power we're shown
It's not too late now it's done
No more are the weak all are the strong
I found it hard sometimes I've kept my faith alive
I found my destiny no darkness follows me

The Angels Cry
Your feelings are so cold as stone
Your words tear me apart
My illusions far away
There is no reason for my stay
Now I face the bitter truth
You will win and I will lose
Listen to my words of hate
And for now you’ll meet your fate
Don’t you hear the angels cry
It’s a sign our love must die
Don’t you hear the angels cry
To believe that you would lie
Open up your eyes and see
What you’ve gone and done to me
Tell me that you are so strong
And say our love’s forever gone
I know I must now face the truth
Even if I win or lose
Cloud me with your words so cruel
The time is now, I am no fool
Time has passed and you must see
Your mistakes you’ve made with me
Ask me for another chance
But it’s too late as it now ends
Now you’re staring at the sky
You will hear the angels cry
Now you’re left all by yourself

Father, father I have sinned
Take my hand, where to begin

Take all my money, soul and sight
I’ll give myself to you tonight

Look up my son, for God is near
Have faith in him; all is clear
Live your life in God’s domain
He will heal all your pain
He will save your soul from Hell
For I know this all too well
For he will know all wrong from right
Look after you, day and night

My God
These words you speak all seem the same
Where is this God, to shield my pain?
Too many lives lost in vain
Lone children cry their parents’ names
For I am broken, cold and weak
No God of yours I’ll ever speak
Can’t stand the cross, you bow and wear
To even think that he would care

No God
All prayers unanswered shall return
I hope I see the churches burn
A trial of treason to mankind
No secrets of the past to find

The Disappeared
I am running
But not away
I am running
For today
A sense of freedom
A sense of fate
A sense of belonging
Under stars tonight
And a search without a trace
Who holds the key what will replace
An instance of disgrace
The disappeared will face
I dived into the ocean
A thousands lives
The thought of who I am
Never dies
And when I came here
I couldn't believe my eyes
The lesson I've learnt
The master of disguise
And a search without a trace
Who holds the key what will replace
And instance of disgrace
The disappeared will face
Will they comfort you
Will they think of you
When all has gone
Will they think of you
When all has gone
Will they think of you
When all has gone
Pray for the disappeared (Repeat)

The Path of the Unknown
Come and walk beside me
We’ll find our way and escape from hope
As ignorance consumes me
Peace lies beyond this land I know
Back again to pain again
Terror before my eyes
War again, death again
Beneath the eastern skies
Watch us throw away
The dreams of yesterday
And as they fall in droves, the day will cry
Not even God Himself would know
Which cause to die for
All these conflicts we behold
In this blood-stained land of old
Still the truth we seek to find
In our diseased and sickened minds
Fight again, kill again
Perish before my eyes
War again, death again
Beneath the eastern skies
Watch us throw away
The dreams of yesterday
And as they fall in droves, the day will cry
Not even God Himself would know
Which cause to die for
Still the sun shines down
Where there is life, there’s hope
But that moment is still yet to come
That moment’s still yet to come
Anger’s the only emotion here
In which we gain peace

Wasted lives
Wasted hope
Wasted dreams

Across the barren stream

And fall into a trance

And glance into this sea
This holds to tranquility
How could you let this be
And leave this situation

Reclaim my consciousness until the light

If you need me will you say
Can I trust your words and listen anyway

Despite my hear I cannot go

The ghost that hides my memory

The open doorway we shall see
Unlock the secrets of the past
Into the night the truth shall cast
Lost in me will I find myself
As I walk to the stairway
Trust in him as I talk
They never end what they start
Our only hope is to recall
The gods of life and death shall fall
Will we ever reach the end
And hold the message that they send
Lost in me will I find myself

Wheels In Motion
Whenever I'm left out
I'm thrown into dismay
The things I've gone without
Unfair it seems this way
At times I never start
I drift and loose my way
Forever in the dark
And now there I must stay
Frail heart - A noose hangs over me
Frail heart - I crawl on Odin's tree
In searching for my own embrace
Sometimes my heart takes second place
It never crossed my mind
But now is clear as day
On eagles wings on path
I'm closer every day
A glimpse of hope has past
A cloud of dust has rained
Again I'm in the dark
And now there I must stay
Frail heart - A noose hangs over me
Frail heart - I crawl on Odin's tree
In searching for my own embrace
Sometimes my heart takes second place

Without Shadows
Without shadows, all of the gods shall weep
Without shadows, shall I finally sleep
Without shadows, the end is out of reach
Without shadows, I cannot hide my grief
And I curse the day you came
I’m out living, those recurring dreams
Out living, all of the fears in me
Out living, words I took as truth
Out living, even the ghost of you
And I think I see the end
If I push all the tears away
Can I still feel the pain
I know, deep down, deep down
I know the pain will stay
Without grieving, hurt would rule the day
Without grieving, our hearts would fall away
Without grieving, without care
Without grieving, we’d all burn
And the tearless fades away
The tearless fades away
Without silence, even the gods would weep
And I think I hear them call
Without grieving, hurt would rule the day
Without grieving, out hearts would fall away
And I curse the day you came
Without shadows, without care
Without shadows, we would all burn
Without shadows, without sleep
Without shadows, without grief
