1. THIS IS WAR

This is war!

Violence!
The weapon of the weak!
Resistance!
A thousand hearts will bleed!

Eye for an eye makes you blind in the end
Tooth for a tooth, again and again
Breathing fire dead ember in your lungs
Black faint fills your soul, 'cause every loss makes you numb

War!
The creator of all things
War!
Where it all begins
This is war where everything ends
We're architects of the apocalypse

We're gonna break the silence
This is resistance!
Salvation lies inside us
This is resistance!

You're a coward wrapped in silence, with blood on your hands
You keep your eyes shut, stand up for once
Break your cover and just take the blame
Cause we all will face the season, the season of pain

War!
The creator of all things
War!
Where it all begins
This is war where everything ends
We're architects of the apocalypse

We're gonna break the silence
This is resistance!
Salvation lies inside us
This is resistance!

(War)
The creator of all things
(War)
Where it all begins
(war)
Where everything ends
We're architects of the apocalypse

Violence!
Resistance!

We're gonna break the silence
This is resistance!
Salvation lies inside us
This is resistance!

We're gonna break the silence
Salvation lies inside us

Violence!
The weapon of the weak!
Resistance!
A thousand hearts will bleed!


2. INTOXICATED

Intoxicated with your words and your lies
Since I was born I always payed the price
You took everything from me, Everything that I had
I swallow all your rage to fill this hole in my chest

This atrocity, never trust in God
No trust in you, never trust at all
It's time to stay clear in the deepest storm
But one last time I try to move on

Kill the loneliness in me
Break the chains and set me free
I will never look back
Never look back and start again
Start again!

A broken heart, to broke at all
What is right, what is wrong?
Show me something to believe in
Somewhere I belong
Need a rhyme, singing all out
But too weak to give up
Still searching for the answer
Alone in the dark!

This atrocity, never trust in God
No trust in you, never trust at all
It's time to stay clear in the deepest storm
But one last time I try to move on

Kill the loneliness in me
Break the chains and set me free
I will never look back
Never look back and start again
All these wounds will never heal
This could everything appeal?
I will never look back
Never look back and start again
Start again!

I'm sleepless, I'm restless, I'm lost in myself
I'm buried alive with the love turned to hate
When the loved turned to hate
I'm sleepless, I'm restless, I'm lost in myself
I'm buried alive with the love turned to hate
I'm sleepless, I'm restless, I'm lost in myself
I'm buried alive with the love turned to hate

(All the the love, in my life)
I want to feel this way again
(When I'm gone, When I'm gone)
Will you regret what you have done
(All the the love, in my life)
I want to feel this way again
(When I'm gone, When I'm gone)
To realize what I become

Kill the loneliness in me
Break the chains and set me free
I will never look back
Never look back and start again
All these wounds will never heal
This could everything appeal?
I will never look back
Never look back and start again
Start again!

With the love turned to hate

With the love turned to hate


3. ICH BLUTE FUR DICH (FT. MATTHI NASTY OF NASTY & SEBASTIAN BIESLER OF ESKIMO CALLBOY)

Ich blute für dich
Ich blute für mich

Könnten Blicke töten, wär' es schon vorbei
Brächten Tritte Kröten, wär' ich schon längst reich
Kriechend ist es gut für dich, denn wenn ich steh, kannst du es nicht
Dein Konstrukt ragt zwar zum Himmel, doch es zerbricht

Du stehst innen, ich außen
Du willst, dass ich falle
Mein unten ist oben
Hörst du die Stille?
Mein Herz wie ein Ungeheuer hinter meinen Rippen
Lass es raus (lass es raus)
Ich verbrenne von innen

Es ist anders, als du denkst, doch du glaubst mir nicht
Es tut nicht weh, weil du's nicht kennst
Und ich blute für dich
Du schlägst drauf ein und es zerbricht mein Herz
Hörst du mich schreien?
Doch du siehst, du fühlst, verstehst es nicht
Denn ich blute für mich

Ich blute für dich
Ich blute für mich

Kollateralschaden verursacht
Zweifel verwüstet
Urmacht
Es tickt, es tackt, es pickt, es lacht
Du treibst dich in den Wahnsinn
Du treibst dich in die Schlacht

Siehst du nur mich, wenn du in den Spiegel blickst?
Ist es kein Zweifel, der dich zerfrisst?
Du bist der Geist, der stets verneint
Weder Freund noch Feind
Wir sind im Gegenteil vereint

Es ist anders, als du denkst, doch du glaubst mir nicht
Es tut nicht weh, weil du's nicht kennst
Und ich blute für dich
Du schlägst drauf ein und es zerbricht mein Herz
Hörst du mich schreien?
Doch du siehst, du fühlst, verstehst es nicht
Denn ich blute für mich

Jeder Stoß, der vernarbt mich
Du stellst mich bloß und ich frag' dich
Jeder Stoß, der vernarbt mich
Und ich frag' dich
Was ist dein Problem?
Was ist dein Problem?
Was ist dein Problem?

Es ist anders, als du denkst, doch du glaubst mir nicht
Es tut nicht weh, weil du's nicht kennst
Und ich blute für dich
Du schlägst drauf ein und es zerbricht mein Herz
Hörst du mich schreien?
Doch du siehst, du fühlst, verstehst es nicht
Denn ich blute für mich

Denn ich blute für dich
Ich blute für dich
Du schlägst drauf ein und es zerbricht
Hörst du mich schreien?
Du verstehst es nicht
Denn ich blute für mich


4. BEFORE LATER BECOMES NEVER (FT. CJ MCMAHON OF THY ART IS MURDER)

Wake me up!

Your world is turning upside down
Practice what you preach
A thousand words don't count
Don't be afraid to fail
Be amongst the few, the few who dare

Deal with the devil coming in, coming out
Your fear and despair, whatever it may take

You think I'm shaking by saying
Before later becomes never

When you're motionless inside
You don't even feel time
So wake up and realize
Before later becomes never again

Don't be a poor spirit with a dead heart
Accept your scars, accept your past
Without desire to change
Tomorrow will be the same
Be amongst the few, the few who dare

Deal with the devil coming in, coming out
Your fear and despair, whatever it may take

You think I'm shaking by saying
Before later becomes never

Deal with the devil
Deal with the devil

You think I'm shaking by saying
Before later becomes never

When you're motionless inside
You don't even feel time
So wake up and realize
Before later becomes never again

Wake me up!
Wake me up!

My eyes are shut
I can't take it any longer
I am trapped, another time
With the weight on my shoulders

[CJ McMahon:]
Wake me up
Wake me up
Before later becomes never
Wake me up
Wake me up
Before later becomes never

When you're motionless inside
You don't even feel time
So wake up and realize
Before later becomes never again
So wake up and realize
Before later becomes never again


5. SET ME FREE

This is my last goodbye

I wake up every morning to fight the same demons
That left me so tired the night before
Every day feels like walking through fire
I'm so tired of this life, I can't take it anymore

Feels like I'm stuck inside a shell
That hides the pain I know so well
In this heart of sin does my hell begin
When nothing's left, we're everything!

We are more frightened than hurt
We suffer more from visions than reality

I ask myself how long can I keep up with this fight?
My world is drowning in the twilight, where the sun doesn't rise
This nightmare has turned myself into an enemy
The world I'm living in, is the world I have to leave

Feels like I'm stuck inside a shell
That hides the pain I know so well
In this heart of sin does my hell begin
When nothing's left, we're everything!

I long for silence, lay me to rest!
This pain will never disappear till I'm gone and dead
I long for silence, lay me to rest!
This struggle will not disappear till I'm gone and dead

Dancing demons at a burning stake
My life became a nightmare when my world turned to gray
Dancing demons at a burning stake
My life is just a misery, so please let me free!

Feels like I'm stuck inside a shell
That hides the pain I know so well
In this heart of sin does my hell begin
When nothing's left, we're everything!

We are more frightened than hurt
We suffer more from visions than reality


6. MY MADNESS

Get the fuck up!

I'm used to meet resistance, disrespect and smug rejection
I live, I lose, but who the fuck are you?
As I go down the drain, my madness keeps me sane
I love, I hurt, I'm in it with all my heart

You don't know my demons, you don't know their names
You don't hear them whisper, they made me who I am

Chaos in my soul
Madness in my eyes
You will never know me
I won't go astray
I'll never obey
With all my heart
I meet my fate

I'm standing at the crossroads, I won't follow all you lost souls
I live, I lose and that's the path I'll choose
Don't try to cure my madness
It gives me the freedom that makes me fearless
I love, I hurt, I'm in with all my heart

You don't know my demons, you don't know their names
You don't hear them whisper, they made me who I am

Chaos in my soul
Madness in my eyes
You will never know me
I won't go astray
I'll never obey
With all my heart
I meet my fate

Break me, hate me, hurt me, kill me, now
Who the fuck are you?
I'll never obey!
Who the fuck are you?
I won't go stray!

Chaos in my soul
Madness in my eyes
You will never know me
I won't go astray
I'll never obey
With all my heart
I meet my fate


7. I AM FEAR

I'll abandon myself to fear
I feel it and now I see clear
And when it's gone past
I'll follow it's path
It's coming closer and now it's here

The gravity of fear
There's something deep inside
Hope is dead
Nothing's left but darkness in my mind
The nightmare becomes reality, open your eyes
Face everything and rise!

I'm here, on the other side of fear
Where I found myself
I'm real!
You cannot escape
I'm back, can't you feel the cold breath on your neck?!

I am nothing and everything
I'm darkness and light within
I am losing control, or is control losing me?!
I'm coming closer and now I am here

The gravity of fear
There's something deep inside
Hope is dead
Nothing's left but darkness in my mind
The nightmare becomes reality, open your eyes
Face everything and rise!

I'm here, on the other side of fear
Where I found myself
I'm real!
You cannot escape
I'm back, can't you feel the cold breath on your neck?!

I'm the scarecrow, climbing of my cross
I have become what I've feare the most...
I'm the scarecrow, climbing of my cross

I'm here, on the other side of fear
Where I found myself
I'm real!
You cannot escape
I'm back, can't you feel the cold breath on your neck?!


8. DELUSION

We are blind, we're dead inside, in our shelter of mind
There's nothing more to lose, when there's nothing to find
Regrets buried underneath absolution
We're just ugly mannequins society's delusion

Pull the trigger and pray to God
Bite the bullet
Hail to the fraud!
So pull the trigger and pray to God
Bite the bullet
Pay the price with your blood!

It's going down, down, down!
Can't you see it, can't you feel it?!
We won't drown, drown, drown
In the delusion that we believe in!

Dreams are lost, pressure made them so hollow
Closer to the edge, (but) we don't care about tomorrow!
Tell me if we're dreaming or are we still awake?!
Just tell me, are we the masters or are we the slaves?

Pull the trigger and pray to God
Bite the bullet
Hail to the fraud!
So pull the trigger and pray to God
Bite the bullet
Pay the price with your blood!

It's going down, down, down!
Can't you see it, can't you feel it?!
We won't drown, drown, drown
In the delusion that we believe in!

It's going down, down, down
The less we care, the more we drown
When this heaven turns to hell, we have failed, we have failed...
Pay the price with your blood
Enough is enough!

It's going down, down, down!
Can't you see it, can't you feel it?!
We won't drown, drown, drown
In the delusion that we believe in!


9. CARRY ON

I torch the last piece of my broken past
Crushed, burned and buried, but with hope at last!
You left me nothing, not even my fear
My mind is free and my eyes see clear
Like a phoenix I will rise from the core of the ashes!
I see my shattered dreams in a crystal casket...
Step by step, brick by brick
I will build a wall
And I will never look back 'til I fall

And I swear, that I'll carry on
And I swear, that I can prove you wrong
And I swear, our love's long gone
And you won't bring me down again
I swear!

My life has gone astray
You left me standing in the pouring rain
But upon this rock I will build my church
Upon this rock I will watch you burn!
We've been running in circles, now we're out of touch
Even I would care, you wouldn't give a fuck...
Since the start you wanna see me fall
You've shattered everything, but I'm unbreakable!

And I swear, that I'll carry on
And I swear, that I can prove you wrong
And I swear, our love's long gone
And you won't bring me down again
I swear!

I am sick of this senseless fighting!
I am sick of these power trips!
I am sick of this fucking silence!
I am sick of this, I am sick of you!

Won't you hear me, I'm done with you
I've torn apart the hell you put me through

And I swear, that I'll carry on
And I swear, that I can prove you wrong
And I swear, our love's long gone
And you won't bring me down again
I swear!


10. MASQUERADE (FT. BRIAN "HEAD" WELCH OF KORN)

Distorted and broken, a fractured facade
The curtain is falling, the surface will break
Your face became a mask and the mask became your friend
We all become what we pretend to be
The mirrors shows the enemy!

This is my reckoning!
Ripping of your second skin
This is my reckoning!
No mask can hide the devil within
Devil inside!
You can't fucking hide
Devil inside!
Unravel your mind
Devil inside!
No more fucking lies
Devil inside!
Sever your ties

Break out from this masquerade before we fade away
We are losing who we are!
Unmask your hidden hate
Wash it all away and heal your hollow heart!

With fake love and a plastic heart, your dead eyes shining dark
These blurred lines do not define who you really are!
I left the past behind - look deep inside
We all become what we pretend to be
The mirrors shows the enemy!

This is my reckoning!
Ripping of your second skin
This is my reckoning!
No mask can hide the devil within
Devil inside!
You can't fucking hide
Devil inside!
Unravel your mind
Devil inside!
No more fucking lies
Devil inside!
Sever your ties

Break out from this masquerade before we fade away
We are losing who we are!
Unmask your hidden hate
Wash it all away and heal your hollow heart!

Break away
There's nothing to it
It may be hard, but no excuses!
Fix the broken
Breaking away 'cause you are free!
Breaking away 'cause you are free!
Who do you want to be?!
Breaking away 'cause you are free!

Break out from this masquerade before we fade away
We are losing who we are!
Unmask your hidden hate
Wash it all away and heal your hollow heart!


11. INCOMPLETE

I will not forgive, I will not forget
I will not forgive, I will not forget

My heart it stops, it starts, once close now far apart
I'm here, but I'm not, and I feel nothing, but incomplete
There's nothing left to say, you threw it all away
We've drifted apart so lang ago, so faraway

You made me incomplete
Cause you're the stranger inside of me
And now I know, you are no missing piece
Cause you're the stranger inside of me
Love's long gone!

I will not forgive, I will not forget
I will not forgive, I will not forget

You know nothing, nothing of me
No matter what you think you see!
You Know nothing, nothing of me
You've opened my eyes and now I'm free
You know nothing, nothing of me, you make me sick!

My heart it stops, it stars, once close now far apart
I'm here, but I'm not and I feel nothing, but incomplete

You made me incomplete
Cause you're the stranger inside of me
And now I know you are no missing peace
Cause you're the stranger inside of me
Love's long gone!

I will not forgive, I will not forget!


12. THE GREAT UNKNOWN

With the horizon in my eyes, the ocean in my mind
The storm in my heart, I leave everything behind!
Batten down the hatches, fierce and restless, into great unknown

No anchor, no beacon, no shore in sight!
I'm chainless, relentless
Against the tide
Into the great unknown
I'm coming home!

Under starless skies, in the deepest night, I tasted life
Darkness lies! There's always light!
And I know it won't go...

I'm a ship in distress, but the tide with turn
I'm anchorless, between dark and dawn
My heart is beating and bleeding
For none but my own
Into the great unknown

No anchor, no beacon, no shore in sight!
I'm chainless, relentless
Against the tide
Into the great unknown
I'm coming home!

Under starless skies, in the deepest night, I tasted life
Darkness lies! There's always light!
And I know it won't go...

Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Chasing the demons that are haunting me
Silence below, where is my home?
Anchorless
Relentless
Into the great unknown!

Under starless skies, in the deepest night, I tasted life
Darkness lies! There's always light!
And I know it won't go...


13. SLEEPERS AWAKE

Sleepers Awake!

The earth will shake
Sleepers Awake

The tide is setting in, I'll never come to rest
Like a roaring storm in my chest
The elements are mine, as a brutal as divine
Raging deep inside
Sleepers awake!

Unleash the sky, open your mind
Sever your ties
Unleash the sky, planets collide
Sleepers awake!

The crown of creation
Shattered on the ground

The earth will shake
Sleepers Awake

Under falling skies, sparks turn into flames
Inferno in my eyes, so fire I became!
Clouds turn into ashes, the world turns upside down

The crown of creation
Shattered on the ground!

Unleash the sky, open your mind
Sever your ties
Unleash the sky, planets collide
Sleepers awake!

Find paradise in hell, find guidance in chaos
Don't sacrifice yourself
Be the creator!
So it begins and so it ends

Unleash the sky, open your mind
Sever your ties
Unleash the sky, planets collide
Sleepers awake!

So it begins and so it ends...

The crown of creation
Shattered on the ground
Sleepers awake!


14. DARK SHADOWS

(Instrumental)


15. FORSAKEN HORIZON

A glance back
A glance into the now
Tears sweeten the day
But the aftertaste is bitter

(Here we go)
Where are the good old times?
Where is my dependence?
In your presence my memories swallow me
Moment for moment
You throw me back
A new way, the same paths, old fears
I'm the tool of my demons

In your presence my memories they swallow me
Moment for moment
You throw me back again
A new way, the same paths, old fears
I'm the tool of my demons
They hide in the depths of my soul
In darkness

I cannot be what I am
Fill me with new hope

Let me go before I end
I cannot be what I am
Fill me with new hope
Fill me with new hope

In your presence my memories they swallow me
Moment for moment
You throw me back again
A new way, the same paths, old fears
I'm the tool of my demons
They hide in the depths of my soul
In darkness

Fill me with new hope
Fill me with new hope
