Minotaur
03:55
|
|||
|
Running in circles
There is no way out
I don’t know how long
The pain is real
Grueling, inside and outside
A punishment I deserve
He’s getting closer
I can feel his breath
If he gets me first
That will be my death
Minotaur, beast of the underworld
Hunting the lost souls of Athens
Killing the lost souls
We were fourteen, now I’m alone
I hear them screaming, horrible
Will I find you, will you reach me first?
My sword is waiting for your head to burst
He’s getting closer
I can feel his breath
If he gets me first
That will be my death
Minotaur, beast of the underworld
Minotaur, hunting the lost souls
Killing the lost souls
Minotaur, beast of the underworld
Hunting the lost souls of Athens
Killing the lost souls

Traumatized
05:04
|

|
Always you have been misunderstood by others
Your mother left you alone
And no one stands by your side to give you solace
When you are crying
You don't want no one to see that you are fragile to the core
Traumatized, uphold the face that is not scarred too much and hide the other
Which cracked long ago
Your blood runs cold
A sudden shiver
As your mind clears up you realize
You will never be loved again
Frightened, you cannot open yourself to others
They want to hurt you
Absurd, it is a phantasmal world you live in
Traumatic impact
Traumata can't justify the way you are now
Don't give me that shit
Paranoid, the look you give me shows great distrust
I'm here to help you out of this pitiful state
Your blood runs cold
So listen to me
You will never be loved again
You should be afraid of never being loved again
Continue like this and you'll never be loved again
Never be loved
Keep on tumbling in circles
Disorientedly, desperately
In search for a place to feel secure
No, never again
You won't find a place to feel complete security
You break out of your circle
And all the beautiful forms uncover
You don't want to die no more
You wander towards the edge of your life
Now take a good look
What a sight!
But you trip over a stone that gets you at last to the fall
Which brings your life to end
As your mind clears up you realize
You will never be loved again
As the ground comes near your wish becomes clear
Everything you wanted was to be loved again

Awakening
05:50
|
|||
|
Why did you harden your heart again and again?
We died off one by one, the apathy goes beyond belief
Foremost your sons and daughters, they had to die
For you to realize you're not that different from us
A self-proclaimed god is lying in chains, chains of guiltiness
As he's exhibited to the master he begins to faint
Delirious slumber, a light flickering in the dark
Defenseless all along, determinated from the start
Sudatory nightmare, a voice whispering from afar
Illusion disengaged, carve out the eyes, see through the scar
Witness the awakening of your so-called god
Who's now surrounded by silhouettes of despair, extensions of his mind
I hardened his heart for you to see the impotence of humanity

Three Eyed God
04:51
|
|||
|
Eyelids cut
Two mouths shut
Forehead hole
He is sacred and divine
Lacrimals hung with gold
Yet a stare so cold
His violence unfolds
The gaze of the Three Eyed God
Tears me asunder
Rips me apart
Second sight
Recondite
Inner light
Cryptic what he has foreseen
I ignite a flame so bright
To see what lies in front of me
I won't die without a fight
The grip of the Three Eyed God
Tears me asunder
Rips me apart
So I press a knife to my forehead and cut deep
And take my eyelids off me so that I can see that
I am the Three Eyed God

Escaping Hell
03:56
|
|||
|
Your mother's crying, children dying
Fathers killed in the streets
That's just what we see all day
That’s not meant for me
I don’t want to run away
And leave my friends in this hell
But I have to save my family
And get away to be well alone
I don’t know how far and how long
Until we’ll be gone
Pain in legs and head in despair
Go on!
Now they’re crying and they’re dying
There is nothing to eat
An enemy that can't be defended
The nights are too cold to sleep
What are my friends doing? Are they alive?
Was it right to escape?
Is there a chance for us? Will we survive?
Questions that are killing me
I know it's killing me inside to know they are dying
I don’t know how far and how long
Until we’ll be gone
Pain in legs and head in despair
Go on!
Was it right to escape?
Is there really a chance for us?
Will we be safe?
No
Will we survive?
Will we be free?
I don't know
But we have to run
I don’t know how far and how long
Until we are gone
Pain in legs and head in despair
Go on!

Burn
05:01
|
|||
|
I see a human shell, malfunctioning in its state
What then lay within now seems to be gone
Did you kill it or did it die itself for the sake of making it end?
The loss of what made you human cannot be denied
All the principles that formed and shaped your character, eradicated to the last
I repressed a memory stuck in my head but now it's coming back again
The walls were closing in
When you screamed at me
That you hate your life, you hate this place
You don't want to live no more
A memory so unreal
A question that martyrs my brain
Did your soul die that day
Or does it still live on?
I hear your voice when I close my eyes
Apathetically you're staring out the window, you let your mind go
Unintentionally they've put you into distress, melancholy and despair
Incapable of taking it anymore your soul left or died
What's left? The only thing that I see is a vessel with no operator
Relentlessly the walls are closing in again, I'm about to be crushed
Anxiously I try to cover up my eyes but I still hear you scream

Endless Fall
05:50
|
|||
|
I'm falling down
This fall is going to change it all
My world turned upside down, my sight is dulled
Let me, please, fall from dignity
So that I will not be the one to blame
No one told me what life was worth
Couldn't believe it when I got hurt
That didn't hit me I tried to pretend
I should have known it kills me in the end
Can't you see I'm bleeding inside
I sew my wounds myself but pain remains
Try to stuff down the pain it always worked
Apparently not 'cause it still hurts
And I can't stop falling down
Trying to rise again
That's in vain
I resign now for I loose every last bit of integrity
Every last bit
Searching for the cure in everything I found
Some of these things brought me to the ground
Other things brought me up again
Never look back, living in sin
I will never look back
Never be myself again
And I can't stop falling down
Trying to rise again
That's in vain
I float through the fog
Quiet, my soul
And I can't stop falling down
Trying to rise again
That's in vain

Drought

Harvester
09:43
|

|
This is the first rain in years
We turned to the lord and we may have been heard
These lands lay barren for years, hopeless
Our prayers were silent
For the throats have been dry for a while
An anhydrous despair, pure bliss
And the rain keeps falling down
Into the vale we call our home
The vale of tears, the sink of plight
The place where he hath set a glance of hope
The endless precipitation
Has turned this land into a riverine tomb
Born to endure such a life of anguish
Our laments are silent
For the lungs are now filled to the edge
An abysmal ordeal we go through
And the rain keeps falling down
Into the vale we call our home
The vale of tears, the sink of plight
The place where he hath set a glance of hope
To torment us he sheds bitter tears of joy
A roll of thunder, a laughter so sublime
For though we are his children he scatters the seeds of throes
To harvest broken souls which shall serve him in eternity
To torture us he weeps bitter tears of joy
A roll of thunder, a laughter so divine
For though we are his children he scatters the seeds of throes
To harvest broken souls which shall serve him in eternity
Why do you hide behind a veil of tears?
Are you ashamed of what you have created?
This jest got out of hand
Please make it end
Why do you hide behind a veil of tears?
Are you ashamed of what you have created?
A counterpart of hell
A circus of distress
This jest got out of hand
Please make it end
Open the gates of heaven for us
We suffered for way too long
Rip the clouds asunder
So that thy kingdom may come
So the scar behind unveils
We shall serve him in eternity
