Prologue

|
Intro:
"Look around you” - she said - "There’s nothing left to save… There’s nothing left to say…“ With that she was gone, and the coldness that remained was her final gift...
Verse I.:
A shiny white light filled the sky that day,
left us here alone to watch our graceful mother earth decay.
Just like the Bible said,
but we heaven’t read the signs:
our time has come to an end,
and now we have to survive to pay the price.
GOD?! ARE WE THE LAST ONES ALIVE?!
IS THERE A CAUSE YOU WANT US TO SURVIVE?
GOD?! CANT YOU HEAR HOW WE SCREAM?!
IS THERE A REASON? ARE WE ADAM AND EVE?!
Chorus:
I feel I can’t go any further,
I can’t deal with this hunger,
I can’t carry on…
Verse II.:
After the white light the world we knew went grey,
the years have come and gone and we slowly forgot how to pray…
I DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE ME,
WHILE I’M GOING THROUGH THIS PHASE,-
I DON’T WANT YOU TO FEEL THIS!
THESE CAN BE OUR FINAL DAYS!
Chorus:
I feel I can’t go any further,
I can’t deal with this hunger,
I can’t carry on…
If I can’t go any further,
If I can’t deal with this hunger,
will she carry on?
Bridge (spoken):
If She’s not the word of God,
then God never spoke...

White Light
03:42
|
|||
|
She woke before dawn, walked out into the gray light of early morning and stood there. She could feel the unbearable, crushing, black vacuum of the universe. She could hear the words of that infinite silence.
For a brief moment she saw the absolute truth of the world and she finally realised that her time was only borrowed, just like the world, just like her eyes, just like everything else…

The Black March
03:32
|
|||
|
Verse I.:
I hear the falling rain
knocks on the windowpane,
but deep inside my brain
they bang like bullets!
The wolves are at my door,
I can’t hide here anymore,
It feels just like a war
I loose my control.
Bridge:
These days I feel like soon everything will end,
these days I’m closer to my demons than my friends.
Post Bridge:
On the left there’s nothing right,
on the right there’s nothing left.
All the lights’re too bright and white
as I lay down my head.
Chorus:
When the smoke has gone,
and the sky is clear
all the lies i’ve told you
slowly disappear.
All my friends will leave me
if I fall from grace?
Can I see your face?
Let me find your trace
in this endless space!
Verse II.:
The Black March is on it’s way
to celebrate my dying day;
and I don’t know what to say
to send these ghosts away!
This pain’s just killing me-,
they repeal what you have left in me.
Darkness and silence
INSIDE OF ME!
Breakdown:
These days I feel like soon everything will end,
these days I’m closer to my demons than my friends.

Alienation
03:14
|
|||
|
Intro:
Confrontation!
They work to hate each other,
they make you fear for tomorrow.
This separation
leads to the alienation of our broken generation.
Verse I.:
NO!
Don’t tell us what to do!
You can’t tell us who we are!
We won’t share our secrets with you,
if there’s a secret left at all.
You won't crawl inside my mind
to plant the seeds of ignorance,
We won’t ever give up our rights,
We’ll make a grand appearance.
Bridge:
Be the one you want to be,
Do whatever sets you free. 2x
Chorus:
Confrontation
They work to hate each other,
they make you fear for tomorrow.
This separation
leads to the alienation of our broken generation.
Verse II.:
WHY?
Do you believe in all those lies?
They don’t care about our lives!
The television rules the nation
and their media above all.
It's our generation of glass,
but we won't shatter just as fast.
We won’t be the puppets of the tyrants!
The Empire has to fall!
Breakdown:
Fuck the media!
Fuck them all!
They never let us be!
Fuck the media!
Fuck ‘em all!
They never let us see!

Let Me In
03:34
|
|||
|
Verse I.:
I can’t stand this hurting silence,
so I poison myself with lethal noises
until my time ends.
I don’t care what you say,
you should go and walk away.
You can kneel, but please don’t pray,
not for me, no, not today.
Chorus:
Hurt me ‘til I faint!
Bite me ‘til I bleed!
I will be your worst addiction,
the golden shot you need!
I won’t stay away,
‘til I get inside your veins.
When I fade away,
I’ll leave you with my chains.
Verse II.:
I’m your false salvation;
the strongest hunger,
your everlasting damnation.
It doesn’t matter what you do;
you let me in, I’m here for you
to break you,-
through blood and bones
and through and through!
Bridge:
I won’t stop ’til I get what I came for.
I’m the one who knocks on your back door.

Age Of Insanity
03:19
|
|||
|
Verse I.:
Welcome in the Age of Insanity,-
the last days; the Fall of Humanity.
No stairway to heaven, but a doorstep to hell,
where nobody rings the Liberty Bell!
How does it feel that you're not alone?
That you can’t be alone at your home?
We’ve already gone away from Eden
to the unknown and far from freedom.
Bridge:
They are the sickness; we are the symptom,-
They are the blood in our system!
Chorus:
We are the sons and daughters
of people who sold their hearts for the fame;
they broke all the rules, but can’t win the game.
A world full of Gods and monsters.
How can't they see that we are the same?
How can they think our hearts can be tamed?
Our hearts can be tamed?
Verse II:
If you want to see them clearer,
open your eyes and look in the mirror!
I can’t feel my lips from the bitter;
I can’t see the sun from the blood and the glitter!
Bridge:
“Real pain, real viciousness, that we can take!
‘cause we’re so out of our minds with desperation,
we don’t know any better.
That’s how we speak to each other,
how we express ourselves is buyin’ shit!
And we buyin’ shit that’s not even there!
Show us something real, and free, and beautiful,
you couldn’t! It’d break us!
Going where? Powering what?
All tiny cells in tiny screens, and bigger cells in bigger screens?
Just fuck you! One more ugly joke in a kingdom of millions! So fuck you!
Fuck you for happening! Fuck you for me; for us; for everyone!
FUCK YOU!"
Outro:
They are the sickness;
They won’t stop until they find our weakness!
They are the sickness;
We won’t lay back down, we will stand our ground fearless!
STAND YOUR GROUND!

Better To Be Alone
03:03
|
|||
|
Intro:
Still hear the words that I can’t take.
Still feel the fire that I can’t fake.
Verse I.:
Behind that beautiful smile,
You hide so sharp and nasty teeth.
And with these words that you lie
You just tearing up my skin.
I know the secrets that you hide,
That’s why our two worlds collide.
That’s why we have to end this.
Right here! Now! Tonight!
Bridge:
You broke this what we’ve made.
Far from bliss, let me fade.
Chorus:
All your demons petrify me,
All these memories testify for me.
This place just cannot be our home,
I think I’d rather be alone.
I’d rather be alone.
Better to be alone!
Verse II.:
Behind those beautiful eyes
I see a world that slowly dies.
I can’t feed your hunger,
These ropes can’t hold me longer.
Then I will be the one, who falls,
Maybe my fail will break the walls.
And we can separate our
Souls forever.
Outro:
Still hear the words that I can’t take.
Still feel the fire that I won’t fake.

Sea Of Tomorrow
03:18
|
|||
|
Verse I.:
The cracks upon our sky
slowly starts to grow.
We can’t control our lies,
we hide the truth we know.
I used to dream at night,
now I'm awake alone.
I can’t tell the black from white,
I’m cold and grey as a stone.
Bridge.:
The shadows of yesterdays
are the prophecy of tomorrow.
Chorus:
I can’t go on, but I can’t go back.
We know that this could happen
We can’t erase our past.
I can’t hold on, but I can’t let go.
"The ship is sinking, Captain"
in this great blue sea of tomorrow!
Verse II.:
I just didn’t know
what i know today,
when the cracks began to show
and our hearts went astray.
I can't turn back the time,
I can’t seal a broken pact;
but I swear to God i tried,-
but you can’t fix what is cracked.

Alpha & Omega
03:49
|
|||
|
Verse I.:
Pain!
Pour down on me like the rain,
wash my thoughts away.
Set me free, but
leave a deep cut!
Just tell me I’m not insane!
Rap:
The last time when I saw you here
you carved your name into my chest,
You gave me hope, and left me with fear.
I swear to God I tried my best!
Make me take your test,
and leave me unblessed.
Chorus:
Here I am again.
I’m breaking down at your door
to feel the pain.
You are the poison that I’m still craving for.
You are the Alpha.
You are Omega.
You make me want to be a part of this war.
In this war!
Verse II.:
Don’t wait – run before it’s too late,
and leave me with my hate.
Better cover your eyes,
because you don’t want to see me rise!
Rap:
You can see I can't look at you
after the hell you put me through.
In the waves you were my anchor,
you let me drown without the answer.
And I’m sinking deeper
with my anger.
Chorus:
Here I am again.
I’m breaking down at your door
to feel the pain.
You are the poison that I’m still craving for.
You are the Alpha.
You are Omega.
You make me want to be a part of this war,
when there's nothing left fighting for.
When there's nothing left fighting for!
Bridge:
You are my Alpha,
You are my Omega!

G.T.F.O.
03:04
|
|||
|
Verse I.:
I’m not the one who waits for your gratulations;
I never gonna live up to your expectations.
I am who I am and I don’t care what you think about me,
so turn around and get out off my face if you don’t like what you see!
Chorus:
JUMP JUMP or get the fuck out, if you don’t like my sound!
JUMP JUMP or get the fuck out, you shouldn’t come around!
(This is our time)
JUMP JUMP or get the hell out, if you don’t belong HERE!!!
Bridge:
I’m mad every time I see what they’ve done to the industry,-
I look everywhere, but there is nothing left to see.
Verse II.:
I don’t care what you think about me,
but you should know there are no rules in music.
If you have guts, then take my place,
come here and prove it.
We don’t care about the mighty TV,
We never gonna be the latest fashion!
You’re the standard, but we’re free,
and we do this shit with the greatest passion!
Adam Connor.:
Try to cut my throat,
but you can’t turn me down!
If you pull me under,
I’ll rise up from the ground!
I will stay the same;
and I won’t change for anyone!

The Last Chapter
03:48
|
|||
|
Verse I.:
Don't talk to me.
Just leave me here.
Open for the world,
'cause they want to see me fall.
Don't lie to me,
'cause i won't hear you.
Show me your true colors,
and who you really are.
Chorus:
Use me,
Bleed me out.
I'm so fucking restless,
Sometimes I feel so hopeless.
And I just want to go away
far away from here.
Verse II.:
You've found me.
You've crowned me,
and made me the king
of this castle of solitude.
You are my anger
in this cold december.
I've always let you win,
but this time I won't lose.
Chorus:
Hate me.
Break me down.
You're so fucking senseless,
you make me feel so helpless.
I just want to go away!
So far away from you.
I close the door
‘cause I can’t hold you anymore
Outro:
You are my anger;
my cold december.
You are so far away from me.
I’ve never thought
that this could be the last chapter.
The Last Chapter!
