House of the Dying Sun / Where Nightmare and Dreams Unite

I look around myself and I see A dying nation Immersed in desperation Generations haunted By the ghosts of past Sons and daughters infected With the modern day plague Of never forgetting Only regretting Always turning back I look around myself and I see A crying nation Torn apart from degeneration With masses fooled By the ghosts of future Bleeding from sutures Of torn up wounds Caged in sickened distorted minds Fear the unknown Bury the faithless Burn the witches alive Burn the witches alive Torch the remains of A future worth living Let the degenerates rise Torch the remains of A life worth leading And here I stand bleeding With my mind infected With my heart diseased And here I stand yeaming With my mind infected With my heart diseased I look around myself and I see A depressed nation Led by the DeGeneration Of sleepwalking zombies Living on our streets and homes How can I make a difference How can I be someone else In this environment filled with The shackles of death What if I will be just another one What if I will stand in line What if I can't hope What if I can't live What if I can't fucking hide What if I will be just another one What if I will stand in line What if I will break What if I will cry What if I will silently die Here we go again Hoping-Loving-Wanting-Living We will not ever gain Hated-Disgraced-Torn apart

The herd keeps marching The dogs keep barking And you will never know That all your molotows That all the bricks you threw Are just another power's tools You're feeding no fire You're fooled into fake visions Of a revolution never to be known Like sheep led to slaughter There goes the march Like sheep led to slaughter Force fed with lies Like sheep led to slaughter Tear down that blindfold Like sheep led to slaughter There's nothing for you to die for Standing on your barricades Preaching your high and mighty Slogans of your so-called revolution Fought with no guns this time This world is so convenient You can sit tight after all In the warmth of your homes This is the revolution never to be known Welcome to the world Of rebels without a cause Welcome to the world Of empty, blinding slogans Welcome to the world Of the sheep led to slaughter Welcome to the world Of the revolution never to be known Welcome to the world Where the ignorant are kings Welcome to the world Of no real beliefs Welcome to the world Of the sheep led to slaughter Welcome to the world Of the revolution never to be known Welcome to the world Of sick and twisted minds Welcome to the world Of symbols as our gods Welcome to the world Of the sheep led to slaughter Welcome to the world Of the revolution never to be known

There is a house in the East They call the Dying Sun And it's been the ruin of many poor boys And god wouldn't know who's the one Only if god existed To hear your prayers that Fell upon deaf ears Among the bitter and the hated Among the starving eyes and sickened minds 'Cause baby there is no god Among the merciless And there's nowhere left to turn to Among the ruins of a paradise With shackles still to break There is a house in the East They call the Dying Sun And it's been the ruin of many poor boys And I know I might be just one Well, I got one foot on the platform The other foot on train I'm running as far as I can To get rid of that ball and chain That ball and chain to Infect a dying nation Left without inspiration Gathering like vultures To the funeral bells Of what once was hope And you can wait for your Angels to fall from heaven Showing compassion For your crying nation But who would give a dime For the scavengers who Dug a hole to hope And buried it deep While fighting over bones

I have lost my faith in the human race I have lost my way in this human maze Of endless hypocrisy and lies Sucking up and stomping down Where do I turn when there's no one left to believe in Where do I turn when there's no place left to hide I have lost my faith in the human grace I have lost my hope in this dying age Of values turned upside down In this age of snakes among us I have lost my faith - my faith I have lost my way - my way I am the faithless, I am the misanthrope I am the pariah, I despise you all I am the faithless, I am the misanthrope I am the godless creature of dying hope I am the merciless, I am the ticking bomb I am the fear and horror invading your homes I have lost my faith in the human kind I have lost my sight among the blind I have lost my sense of mind I am just like you, I am bound to survive I am bound to survive There's no place left to hide I am the faithless, I am the misanthrope I am the faithless, I am the misanthrope

We the dead - risen back to life We the dead - in tear of rage We the dead - risen back to life We the dead - we are the new age Awoken to a new dawn We have risen back to life The endless nights are fading In these charming big city lights With every drop of blood With every breath we take We thirst for the coming of a new age With every beat of the heart With every drop a sweat Our eyes drown in tears of rage No longer stripped and messed No longer bound by chains No longer fighting over the crumbs like rats No longer immersed in pain I am no longer bound by chains I am no longer immersed in pain I am no longer bound by chains I am no longer immersed in pain

As we walk through the ashes of our existence All our hopes lay shattered As we dance in the flames of this dying world Grasping for one last breath To find meaning and understanding To find comfort To reap the seeds we have sowed In hope of better days to come As we've torn up these scars Of the plague you have brought upon Our spirits lay down buried In dead abd sterile grounds To keep us locked away From sanity To keep us locked away From integrity Left to crawl stigmatized Hung to dry To watch reasoning die As we crawl through the ruins of a life That could have been worth living As we chose to fight to Make the difference That could have been worth giving Up our lives for To carry the disease in our hearts and our minds Disconnected, disrespected Humiliated, torn apart Stigmatized, hung to dry Bleed to death, left to starve As I bleed out from thousand wounds The world is passing by Can I still make a difference Do I still know what is right Curse the day I was born With a conscience Curse the day I opened my eyes Curse the day I realized what it meant To see the dead flooding around Curse the day I realized what it meant To be painful by being alive Curse the day I saw myself trapped In the spirit burial ground

Our ways are paved between The ghosts of past and the thieves of future Can you feel the weight of life When yours is at stake Can you feel the need to live Trapped in between ghosts and thieves Can you feel the urge to breathe Caught up in smoke and flames Our ways- our ways are paved Between ghosts and thieves Our ways- our ways are paved Between loss and grief Our ways- our ways are paved Between ghosts and thieves Our ways- our ways are paved Between loss and grief This is not a cry for help This is me taking an oath to live This is me taking back what you stole from me This is me fighting back your ghosts This is me standing back up on my feet What is the purpose What is the weight of life Whats waiting but death at the end of the road What is the wight of life What shall we do not to de ghosts and thieves What shall we do not to be ghosts and thieves

When there's no air left to breath in When there's no place left to lay our heads Our bodies soaking wer and bleeding our hearts yearning, our minds dreaming Of a place worth dying for Of a heritage of something new In this wasteland of something borrowed, something blue What will I leave behind When there's nothing Out there that I can call mine What will I be proud of When there's nothing Out there that I could die for When there's no bridges left to burn When there's nothing left for sale our bodies sucked dry Our hearts bleeding, our minds tricked With the images of a future Where's nothing worth to strive for Where's nothing worth to die for When there's nothing left to die for Then we never made an impact When there's nothing left to die for Then we have never lived When there's nothing left to die for Then there's no heritage When there's nothing left to die for Then there's no war, there's no peace There's no one left to fight There's no one left in sight There's no enemy left but the ones the mirror reflects There's no one to make a difference There's no one left to blame But us all, but us all, but us all for giving up in vain What will I leave behind When there's nothing Out there that I can call mine What will I be proud of When there's nothing Out there that I could die for

In this cultural wasteland What is left for the young and the restless What is left among your billboard lies Among your golden prison bars Among your nicely dressed generation of Sleepwalking living dead Wrapped up in shining cells In this cultural wasteland What is left for you and me Where can we scream Where can we breath Where can we be free We are the generation of hope We are the generation of stories untold We are the scum of this earth We are the rats giving birth To the nightmares of your world We see with clear eyes We fell with full hearts We are the generation buried alive We are the generation pushed aside And times will come When there's no one left to protect you When the peripheral will have their way When the castaways will flood your streets With something to say When the buried alive Will rise from their graves When the young and the restless Will embrace their hate

With our hearts stripped of love With our heads a tangled mess We are the desperate to come To haunt and to hunt By the night falls down, Searched for something That we might never find We the dead - we raise our flags We the dead - we're the disease That breaks hearts Arm us up with the knives To cut the throat of lights So we'll immerse in this forever night With our fingernails bleeding From crawling in vain Up the sewer to your backyards To your bedrooms To the back of your minds To your shiny heavens Made of gold showing us What seemed to be real Is already buried untold As the marrow leaves our bones As bleeding dry we choke As we kneel down in thorns And we lose our focus on hope Stripped and messed Abused and depressed We have nothing left to lose - fuck you For stealing our days But we'll rule these nights And like rats we'll flow These streets you're so proud to own We the dead, we raise our flags We haven't come this far To give up and turn back We the dead we raise flags Bloodthirsty we watch this sun's death

Where have we gone, Among the faceless masses, The dead and the unknown Close and far apart Torn in between What's said and what's done Endless nights and endless fights, To make our heart's wishes last To make these beats come to life To make ourselves feel alive Where have you gone, Out of reach for my stretched arms Out of reach in the land of The dead and the unknown Endless fights break heart's Will these words, breathe life Into the agony of what Once meant the world to us Where have we gone - The dead and the unknown Where have we gone - Aren't we supposed to want more Where do I turn, In the loss of idealistic visions In the loss of hope Among the dead and the unknown, Broken dreams, yet dear to me Now gather around to watch me bleed, From thousands of wounds As the nails shred the skin the flesh the bone Are we born to lose The endless wars Among the dead, among the unknown Struggling to survive Alienated but alive In the land of the guilt In the home of our sins We always wish for more Where do the wages of sin lay In death or in the freedom of our will?

When we both kill Who's left there to keep sane And keep hearts in motion amidst emotions That lift up and tear down Heal and poison One out of two is there to die And I am sworn this cross will be mine And I walked through The ashes and I've bled And now I see ourselves Through the eyes of the dead When we both bleed Who's left there coagulate, And keep blood streaming And lungs breathing And swallow tears down And throw them up On this world that is cruel enough For letting us die When we both kill Who's left there to keep sane When we both bleed Who's left to coagulate When we both smile Who's left there to cry Who's left there to rise When we both smile Who's left there to cry And keep tears flowing And our insides aching For what we have had, But it was never enough For us to be content with, And now we walk hand in hand With the dead

Drag me down with all you've got With patterns and dogmas designed To kill what's still alive And we're left to march through the buried Thirsty for status, hungry for symbols Amidst slogans echoing back in our ears Telling us to be dead is to be alive And what more's there to life than keeping out Functions, and closing our eyes, letting moments slip by, With our heads bowed, with our hearts buried under The ruins of our heavens in our minds I'm not here to save this world, I'm here to save myself, and set it ablaze I'm not here to save this world I'm here to dance in ruins, as heavens and hells collide I'm not here to save this world, I'm here to save myself, with my heart bled dry I'm not here to save this world, I'm here to dance in the ruins of our heavens made of hopes As youthful ideals turn, Into jaded apathy extreme is the path I take Towards the greater good, The benefit of the self, Among lives to be led and lived astray, Astray in the ruins of our heavens in our hearts, Ruins-of our heavens made of hopes Hearts-bled dry and what's left untold Let it rise!-let it rise!-let it rise! Nightmare and dreams unite! I'm not here to save this world, I'm here to save myself, and set it ablaze I'm not here to save this world I'm here to dance in ruins, as heavens and hells collide I'm not here to save this world, I'm here to save myself, with my heart bled dry I'm not here to save this world, I'm here to dance in the ruins of our heavens made of hopes Dragged me down with all you had, And our patterns and dogmas, Might have killed what was still alive, And I was bound to march through the buried Yet among my thirst and my hunger, And from the ruins of my heavens I built this wall around-to keep myself alive I built-this-wall-around-to-keep-my fuckin' self, alive

Did you ever hear anyone Calling out your name Or are you just so busy Saving the world That you just choke Upon your dogmas And your mindless isms And the wish to find Their meanings, Are ruining your dreams Leaving you alone Did you ever see anyone Reaching out their hand Or are the visions Of your martyrdom Blinding you, as much as your Senseless labels land upon targets Who refuse to bear the crosses Of your selfish wars Wars you even doubt to wage yourself Just take everyone down the drain I'll just keep my beliefs And faith for myself Just make everyone Feel like shit for Not walking your selfish ways I'll keep crossing my own paths of life Did you ever hear anyone Telling you the little secrets of life Or are the gunshots of your revolution Deafening your ears Efforts to gain Credibility at any cost Won't make you look smarter, But just another hypocrite Who's the next on in the line, Keep walking the Martyr's path Keep thinking you're the only one that's blessed I'll keep my beliefs my faith, my ways, And that already made my world change

Torn between heavens and hells Being fed with seeds of a half-life What we silently watch as bystanders Should be lived instead, to our bests Should be fought for, till the very end Where's solace Where's the peace of souls In a culture of denial Through the denial of death We deny life, We deny our own All dressed up and good to go to The funeral march of the buried alive Will we keep living in denial Or will we leave our marks? Torn between rights and wrongs Being stuck in the valley of death What we silently assist to Is the rape of humanity Is the rape of our lives The very core of existence Is stripped down to mere survival Where's solace Where's the peace of souls In a culture of denial Through the denial of death We deny life, We deny our own All dressed up and good to go to The funeral march of the buried alive Will we keep living in denial Or will we leave our marks? Is the facade worth wearing Is denial better than swearing On our lives, On opening our eyes On leaving our marks, On tearing down our bars Torn apart - by a culture of denial Cast aside - by a culture of denial Torn between life and death Torn between cursed and blessed From the dawn of our species We are destined to create We are destined to leave Our marks on humanity When will we stop denying? When will we start again?

Today is the day When I have given up Looking for any reasons On how my brightest heaven Turned into my darkest hell How can poison be this sweet How can I be left thirsting for More and more joyful pain Or did I just say painful joy? Am I the only one left To chain smoke my hunger away? To drink my thoughts away To be left with nothing but all those Don't cares and don't knows That secure our egos deep inside And we build our walls high Up from the ground And this voice is ringing loud In the back of my head Let go Let go Let go! Never care for what has been done But strive for what is to come This is where nightmares and dreams unite This is where nightmares poison our dreams And there's no happy endings But the painful joys, and the joyful pains Unloved loves - Unsaid words - Undone actions The things we've always wanted The beliefs for which we'd kill The flames that ever burned The dreams we're wanting still Where have they gone, Where's our home In this world that's destined To burn - To burn - To burn Nightmares and dreams unite And I might have given up on reasons But let this song remain as a middle finger Of a clenched fist And the voice of a youth gone wild Will ring in the back of my head This is where nightmares and dreams unite And we are the ones to fight this fight With no possible end in sight But the salvation of souls that scream Where's our dream, Where's our home But the salvation of souls that won't scream Let go Let go Let go! We are the ones to wage this fight

As our dreams are killing As our hopes are shattered We lay the blame on ourselves Wishing for one last deadly kiss To poison our blood with hopes That might as well be as dead as we are What have we left When everything's out of reach But the will not to give up When all worlds collide What have we left To deal with ourselves When giving up is where We are heading towards As our dreams are dying As our hearts are blackened We lay the blame on everyone Wishing for one last deadly strike To clean our blood from desires denied While we might as well be as dead as they are All the hopes abandoned All the dreams shattered All the"If"s and All the questions That never really mattered All the veins poisoned All the hearts blackened All the fears stacked up That should have never mattered All the anthems unsung All the wishes unspoken All the lies we have told ourselves That left us scattered All the loves unloved All the pain we've felt All the lies we told each other That left us suffered All the crimes we committed All the dying moments All the hopeless cries for help That remained unheard As in dreams we're crying As our hopes are dying As our crimes are binding As our eyes are burning in tears Is failure what we've left to embrace
