Shadowline
The will is struggling in a state of despair These broken pieces I cannot repair There's nothing here that I can argue about It's just a shame I couldn't figure it out Degraded, bowed and pushed to detest Betrayed desires, all ventures suppressed You keep on digging till the tables may turn You better act before you get yourself burned With all prosperity that could have been found There is no way to stop, no turning around A vague imprint is all that is lost All great ambitions caught in that black hole Breathe the fire, breathe it in Breathe the air of original sin Wring the ashes of the dust Let die, set free, resign and die with me No loss, no life, let go and die with me Hold on, hold tight, this act can only make it right Let die, set free, resign and die with me I stand here gazing at a ravenous void My legs are broken and the road is destroyed The will is struggling, we were born in a storm All great ambitions put here on a platform The shining fortunes will never be seen They're just a fragment in a part of a dream Looking back there's nothing there anymore You look ahead, there's no way, you just can not do it Breathe the fire, breathe it in Breathe the air of original sin Wring the ashes of the dust Let die, set free, resign and die with me No loss, no life, let go and die with me Hold on, hold tight, this act can only make it right Let die, set free, resign and die with me

A night of desperation, crawling back for more I think I've seen this madness, in a previous war Stumbling on through old memories, I don't know why These deadly feelings just have to die Now I'm fumbling, I'm stumbling, I'm coming back for more I'm going down for sure I had a chance but I wouldn't take it, I was afraid I was to weak to make it But now I sense I should have tried I could have left alive So spare your passion, the road is long Don't think adversity makes you strong The resolution is coming on This gloomy road is way too long, I cannot do this on my own The drive keeps on pushing to the edge I'm looking back and I'm so afraid, I cannot run from my darkened shade The solution leads onto the end Oh you know I can't make it sustain anymore I'm forced to resign Tonight I give up Down the line Oh, you know I can't live this dream anymore I'm off this shaky ride Tonight I give up I gave all that I had In the hallucinations I see beyond all faith I wind the wheel on backwards and it won't be too late I'm burned to ashes and will not glow I've planted all my seeds into a ground that can not grow The resolution is coming on This gloomy road is way too long, I cannot do this on my own The drive keeps on pushing to the edge I'm looking back and I'm so afraid, I cannot run from my darkened shade The solution leads onto the end

When the night is taking over in the recess of our loneliness I wish my words that I told her, would be enough for our world to last On a flight back home from London, I see the stars through a plaintive haze We spoke of death on a verdant graveyard, I close my eyes now I see your face... Leaving on the shadowline On a late night separation, a final kiss by your hallway door Inner commotion, I can feel it swelling, departure in a mental war When you awake in that sweet position, I'm heading east on the shadowline I got a taste of my own endeavor, now I go back to where the sun resign Leaving on the shadowline Heart beats hard in a deadly rhythm, for the words that I gave away I was scared but I could see it coming, I should have known it was too soon to say When the night is taking over, I dream away to a distant shore Where the ocean doesn't flow between us Where I can hold you forever me Leaving on the shadowline

Round 11, in the middle of the H.O. Game Sirens howling, a panel truck put in flames And as the chase went on along deceptive ways The traitors were in full blast, putting out the trace And when the set up suspect soon was found The real men of the break-in were unbound The judge was the offender and the witness was his aide All leakages were sealed to perpetrate the perfect raid The trial was entertainment by the judgement of the innocent No evidence came through, locked inside a berlin model 32 In the outskirts, in the quarters by the gas works wall Assassination, of the one who had heeded the call And as the case went on along deceptive ways The killers were in full blast, wiping out the trace And when the set up suspect soon was found The real men of the murder were unbound The judge was the assassin and the witness was his aid All leakages were sealed to execute and to evade The trial was entertainment by the judgement of the innocent No evidence came through, locked inside a berlin model 32 Decades later, a discovery of hidden truth Cryptic writings, in a safe of model 32 And though the case was over, long gone prescribed The bigwigs and the renegades denied The case had been running on deceptive ways The red tape scandal was secluded in the safe The judge was the offender and the witness was his aide All leakages were sealed to perpetrate the perfect raid The trial was entertainment by the judgement of the innocent No evidence came through, locked inside a berlin model 32

I float unconscious in the level inbetween Riding silent, slowly further down the stream I have forgotten where this quiet ride began But I have a feeling that my days out there are done I've passed a crossroad, in which I chose my way I had the option to return back or to stay Beneath the surface there's a peace I can't resist I'm floating further through the tranquil, quiet mist Float on forever, over the worldly walls All sequences severed, over the worldly walls I float unconscious in the dim and parallel Riding silent beyond the earthly carousel I keep on wandering through the quietude of my dream I know I'm leaving, into silence down the stream Float on forever, over the worldly walls All sequences severed, over the worldly walls Riding above the storm, over the worldly walls Float on forever, over the worldly walls

Mechanistic morality and pride As the pointer strikes me all abide Moulded, framed and persecuted By the shadow of the pendulum Finest copper to encase the cogwheels We are the ghosts of this machinery Heave and struggle to bend the range of hours In the workroom of the watchmaker Strict obedience and conformation By the motion of the ticking god By the code of horology Repetitive frames are designed Through the gap of the formula Overhear the final chime Doomsday clockworks ringing out the time The inconsistent reveals the hidden numbers To change the rhythm of the pendulum Spin the wheel for seven hundred thousand hours We throw our moments to the bottom half By the code of horology Repetitive frames are designed Through the gap of the formula Overhear the final chime Doomsday clockworks ringing out the time

This track is instrumental.
In the theatre of somn I fall asleep And the nocturnal play begins It's an act of the burlesque Restored from deep within In the muffled red light of the spots A shade of the aerialist She's dancing at the string And the ballet-broads they sing Go deeper, go deeper into the dream Come closer, come see what is left unseen Go further, your wicked thoughts are dwelling over here Go deeper, go deep in subvisual sleep The play proceeds beneath the dust And the roam begins to spin It's an act of the grotesque In the theatre of sin In the blinding blue lights of the spots A disfigured face of death He is beating at the string And the ghastly choir sing Go deeper, go deeper into the dream Come closer, come see what is left unseen Go further, your wicked thoughts are dwelling over here Go deeper, go deep in subvisual sleep

We passed upon a lonely lane Walked throughout the driving rain The closing path was altered in the dark Running with the rising tide The shore is lying open wide and sleek Waves are rolling soft and silently The plants, the soil, the air, the sea Are sleeping in this scenery tonight Where everything allies Past north, south, east and west They've gone to their eternal rest Where everything expires Formations lying perfectly for the last goodbye In the circle all becomes alive, in the circle all will die The void and atmosphere allied in this Scenery The closing of the circle in this Scenery We passed upon a lonely lane Walked throughout the driving rain The closing path was altered in the dark Running with the rising tide The shore is lying open wide and sleek Waves are rolling soft and silently Formations lying perfectly for the last goodbye In the circle all becomes alive, in the circle all will die The void and atmosphere allied in this Scenery The closing of the circle in this Scenery

We were setting sail on a perfect day, we heaved the anchor and we sailed away Into a world of no perdition, with future dreams we could not fail We sailed on through a paradise, the sea was warm and the air was nice But after a while the sea got colder, and suddenly the storm began to howl Our world turned over, we were flushed away, from our paradise, in separate ways You found your boat and you sailed on south, and me, I was stranded on a lonely isle I laid on down the wounded ground, I watched upon a complicated sky And as I lay there stranded on the shore, the darkness fell and the world began to shout I fell asleep and I woke up in a dream, this wicked world is not always what it seems I was crazy and I know that you were too, to sail the dark may not be the right thing to do The untamed water was too hard to comprehend, I lost my track and sailed into the storm again But in the whirlwind there are things that I have learned, always remember to row in your own way The ocean is vast and you're easily lost, its hard to keep track and to make it across I rode out the storm and the shakes of bad weather And in the silk sheets of time, the sun began to shine

Riding on through shapeless lands, at the pulse of restless thirst Losing track of north and south in a weird and constant haze I am stuck in constant motion, impressions are unconcerned And the ride is pounding on, through bavarian city nights Putting out the lights I'm on my way Sceneries flashing by It's the final passage now Through the rapid city lights I'm coming home tonight 550 miles away, can't recall where I was yesterday Nights are days and days are waste I've been looking for a saving race In the flashing city lights, I see the goings-on through the glass And when the bar is empty and the lights are out, a longing is growing strong Putting out the lights I'm on my way The curtain is coming down I'm coming to stay Sceneries flashing by It's the final passage now Through the rapid city lights I'm coming to stay A fire on the road as the days turn into weeks Across a hundred borders through motorways and streets A ride through slings and arrows, through darkness and through light This is the final passage, I'm coming home tonight Sceneries flashing by It's the final passage now Through the rapid city lights I'm coming to stay The runway is set alight For the final flight Above the rapid city lights I'm coming home tonight
