Searchlight 04:37
Open the door Step out Cross the street Cross the city Cross the country Cross the land Cross the border Cross the ocean Cross the sky In your search for a homeland In the darkest night In the heaviest of rain You will leave The world outside is nothing compared To your pain Like a searchlight Illuminating the clouds You shine seeking the sun Seeking a way to break throught The dark Open the door Let the air in Let the dreams Let the cold Let the warmth Let the world Come into your life Transform your strife Into your love of the world Like a searchlight Seeking the way out Lead us to a new land Take my hand Together we fly

Work 04:10
Your hand Hardened like your heart Every beat Tears your chest apart But you are still standing Your feet Deep in the mud Reaching down for stone For bone in the blood Like teardrop in the flood Rain Won't wash your dirt away Wind won't take you to bay Earth only saves you On the final day You have to... Work! Your hand Hardened like your heart Every move hurts As you dig yourself Out of your grave Your feet Deep in your own blood Your nails shredding off the old skin Summoning your old kin To carve your way through the mud Like a raft in the flood The harder it gets The harder you get The darker it gets The brighter you get The faster it comes The faster you get The more you fail The less you regret Your feet Walks the road you built Plotted by your heart But raised by the hand

Kingslayer 04:24
He calls And you step from the line All falls Who deny to align He steps On your throat Unless you Open up and let the kingdom come Who is this man you obey Without a word He is the king Step to the beat of his heart Sync to his march Bow to the fist of strenght In fear of failure Sell your soul for the favor Of your king Your king Your king He calls And you go, no matter He bestows His arch of pleasure The rise Of the strong on the weak You're the ladder For the leader to the peak Who is this man You rather betray the world Than fail your ruler You are the queen Will you follow your heart Stop stepping to the beat of his march Rise to face the fist of strenght Rise to be yourself in his presence Rise, will you rise? Is he a king Will you step Will you sync to the steps of his march Will you bow to the banner of power Will you be the slave of his desire Will you give your heart for a kingdom Do you believe in pain Will you take back your freedom Your heart’s eternal reign You are the queen Will I be the king Will your heart keep the beat Will you listen or will you sing

When my heart is a black open wound And the soul is bled out, leaving a white scar When the colors are faded In the February night sunlight is far The grey sky spells forever And never preludes hope The wind whispers silence From the mountains of cold Will you hold a hand When the hand is pale Will you kiss life into the dead Love me at my darkest Oh love me at my darkest hour I love you at your darkest And love you at my darkest hour When my soul is the bleakest moor And the mining shows it's toll Without the ornaments of the spirit The spine of man falls How long is the cold How deep can one erode? Will you hold a hand When the hand is pale Will you kiss life into the dead On the bleakest day When the ground is frozen And you stand alone in the storm The snow covers all the wounds in white When your legs are frozen And your lips cannot move I will caress you and bring you delight On the bleakest day When the white sun blinds And the mirror reflects a thousand lies The tears freeze onto your chin The day when you feel hopeless And longing for the unknown I will warm you with the flame within On the bleakest day

Faith 04:45
Your faith in love How deep can it fall Your disbelief When you hear the call Do you think You are less Reach out with your hand And embrace the bliss Embrace the bliss All dilusion All the breaking hearts All the cracks you hear Are thunderbolts to your ear All the pain You suffered through Are magnified to hell Through the darkened glass you view All the failure All mistakes Any step you take forward Will make you brave No matter how they fail No matter if they betray Just never stop believing In the soul inside, just open wide Embrace Breath deep I am here and you are not alone All the fear Is coming from an age forever gone All the days of darkness Will have to come to an end Just feel the skin under your hand Feel this beating heart in your hand

Baptism 05:31
The time is coming Our world is rotting The steel of the East is marching against the West The thousand year wisdom Has spoken it's flames The mass has convened to exorcise the pest If the water hasn't reached you Fire will be your father For the sins of the son The spirit loses honor Burnt in damnation Baptized in the rain Your tears are one with the ocean But the scars remain Your birthright of freedom Is a weight or a wing The flames of your kingdom Is your song to sing Sing it with pride in your heart The time is coming The trumpets are blowing The world you believe in is an island in the black The gates are open wide But the minds are so narrow The preacher fills the hollow with the angst of the pack If the water hasn't reached you Let waves of fire come If you haven't kissed the cross Your shadow is on the run If I have a dark soul Then darkness is my light For I stand for myself My virtue is my might
7.
Beat 04:29
In the sea Where waves are countless In the storm Where mighty thunders crash How will you hear my voice How will you hear my voice In the flood of lies In the haze of irrelevance How will you see me How will you find my hand There's so much lost in the noise Beat for me For once Beat with my heart I need your drums Oh sons of darkness Come with me tonight Oh daughters of darkness Come with me tonight Among all the faces Contestants of sensless races How will you see me Does it matter if you see me at all In the world of magnificence Perfect beats, hands holding hands Circles forming Connections evolving Does it matter if anyone hears me Or can peace come at once

I'm done with sacrifice The altair of my heart Is covered in the blood Of the valiant yet treachareous I'm done and sacrificed On the altair of his heart Uncovered, so white And the look on his face, dead glamorous One pill on the tongue One shot in the mouth A gun in the hand One bullet hellbound A teardrop on the chin Red flame on the lips One fire in the eyes Lost in the deep and never found The night We fall down and dream Deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper Tonight We are awake and we scream Closer and closer, awake in this nightmare The future holds death The night bars the sunshine The stars hold the key Tonight marks the bloodline The future holds death The night bars the sunshine Hold your breath Tonight marks the bloodline I'm done with all the tears Done with all the blood The altair of her heart Lies open wide, so fabulous Like a highway to the dreams The nerves and all the screams The trigger, and the beast Unleashed to the midnight feast

Trainwreck 05:31
Fate - you are late You failed - and missed the date The time - is ticking failure With hands bound, air is a favor Waste - the days all end Taste - the consequence You are - what you make You made - what you hate Come, wake up for the seventh night For the morning star grants you might Fire - the flame within Desire - bring it in Regret - the lack of act Oh god, I hate I'm fuckin wrecked You trained - was it enough You failed - but are you tough Stand up - to fall again Your privilege is a vicious lie, my friend The black is falling down The curtains - closing in The kings - are losing crown And the mirror amplifies your scream within Come, wake up for the seventh night For the morning star grants you sight inside Fire - the flame within Desire - bring it in Regret - the lack of act Oh god, I hate I'm fuckin wrecked Train - stronger you get Slain - you comprehend Your fate - is in your hand Work your way up till the end Face - the weaker I get The more I hate - my own hatred I cannot stand and cannot act Oh god, I'm fuckin wrecked In thirty years This is how far I got With the work of my hand And a fair share of luck With ones I love And ones who stayed The only dead weight Is my own fuckin hate

Here I Fall 04:47
The night the heartbeats called Looking down the road to the endless void Flickering rays of hope die As the thunder outroars your cry Prying the dreams from your dead hand Seeking heaven, hellbent The sun won't rise if you don't stand tall Watch the night sky, here I fall The night holds the key to the day Your freedom guides your hand to obey Your steps lead down right through the edge Your will and your blood burn into a pledge Tribe in the deep, I hear your call Watch me, here I fall The night the deadtbeats called Looking down the road to the endless void The wolfpack howled, called for the child Hunger rose, your innocence died Trying on dreams from a distant land Rings of stained gold on a dead hand The dead won't rise if you don't call Watch the grave, here I fall Fall - here I fall to rise Here - I bow to the fire in your eyes Fall - here I fall to rise Here I lie - learn to fall to learn to fly Fall - here I fall to rise Bring me light - save from demise Fall - here I fall to rise Bring me light - shine my way to the end of my exile

Set your feet on these barren shores Take down the sails, as you might stay The land you sought harbors your boat You are safe, so – what will you build? A land of sense, of your own belief A land of justice, peace and relief A land of joy, of your shining true self Set the stone, and build your home by the well Coming from another world They never understand They never understand a word you say Reasons why you won’t obey The sense within Where your life is a sin And meaningless to them Just remember, there is another world Set your feet on these barren shores Watch the green field you left behind Plant the seeds, build the road Sing the song of justice to the blind A song of sense, of your own belief A land of justice, peace and relief A land of joy, of your shining true self Set the stone, gather your tribe around the well Set your feet on the road Where many exiles left the dark Take refuge in the outpost Of the righteous heart and mind Of your kind And hope one day They will see where you shine One day They will understand, not follow But see and greet you for who you are

Holy Beauty 06:19
Oh, holy beauty I fall onto my knee I reach out for an angel Angel, don't betray me I raise my voice for prayer But I have no temple I belong nowhere Who will hear my prayer Who will hear my prayer Oh, holy beauty You watch me wander Make me remember Remember the days of hope Days of hope and glory When noone hurt me When the light was pure And I believed in all that's beautiful When I believed Oh, holy beauty I beg you tell me Tell me you believe In what I believe Tell me there is one god Tell me there is one church Tell me I can build it And if I build it you take it If I build it will you take it Oh, holy beauty Are you with me Will you still be In the darkest hour Will you still shine Will you be mine Am I building A tower of false hopes or false fears Will you be here when the sun sets in tears Oh, holy beauty Will you test me Will you make me testify Will you kill and crucify Will you tear the chains apart Will you tear the hope and heart Will you bring the past and will you condemn the future Will you build an army To take down all beside me Will you ignite the haters Cast shadows for deceivers Will the circle close in Alone against my own sin Or will you stand there beside me Will you stand beside me Let me show you how I can love Show me how you can love Let me show you my true face In darkness and light Show me your true face In weakness and might Let it be dark Let it be light Let it be day Let it be night Let it be weak Let it be might Let it become Let it be wild and free And mine and yours Let me be yours

You are the dancing queen I wanna be the beat for your heart You are the singing queen But I want you to melt to my whisper in the dark Lose yourself to the rhytm Lose yourself to the rhytm And I'll lose myself in your eyes You are the body for the beat The rhytm needs to sync with your beating heart You are the sparkle that ignites But I wanna be the explosion between the walls of night (Walls are white) How long will the night last How long will the sound echo Will you take control of the rhytm Or will you let the rhytm use you Will you lose yourself to the rhytm Or will the rhytm lose you
