Welcome, I bid you welcome As you enter my world My infernal paradise Will become your demise My mind is exploring A thousand ways To inflict you pain Evil, guiding my hand Deeper into shadowland Touch of evil Draining your life Deeper into shadowland Leave here, you will never leave here As we become one My brutality divine Will make you forever mine The horror you feel arouses me Beyond human ecstasy Evil, guiding my hand Deeper into shadowland Touch of evil Draining your life Deeper into shadowland

Little by little the veil closes in Suffocation is not instant we're stretching our time Flowing below us fossilized treasures Bleeding the earth turning resource into stock Black is the winter grey is the fall Deeper grey than ever before Corporations will linger certain as nightfall Increasing accounts decreasing survival Two shades of green with different content One feeds the belly one feeds the bank Black is the winter grey is the fall Deeper grey than ever before Summer and spring... ...Ceases to be Into the pit we fall Snowflakes burning us all And then the rain... Give me a reason to care Suffering will pass us Reap the whirlwind someday To be the better man doesn't pay Falling tears and silent complaints No matter at all riding a hopeless wave Voices of protest screaming in vain Echoing for no one gives no recall Black is the winter grey is the fall Deeper grey than ever before Summer and spring... ...Ceases to be Into the pit we fall Snowflakes burning us all And then the rain... Into the pit we fall Snowflakes burning us all

I still do remember When our love did shine A time for us we should recall We shouldn't give it up that easily A flame was burning Why did it have to end Dreams The only thing that still remains...of you I can't take the blame You were leaving me I still want your love You are in my dreams I want you for real We were meant to be I can't loose the memory You were something rare Can not stand that you are gone Why did we choose our own directions Was our love in vain I need you now, more than ever Dreams The only thing that still remains...of you I can't take the blame You were leaving me I still want your love You are in my dreams I want you for real We were meant to be

Staring toward the distant light Thoughts from a different time appear Becoming heavier by each minute Deeper into the darkness below The ocean will give The ocean will take Water is forgiving Without care for the dead Nor the living It's getting colder and colder Now we're surrounded by black Panic is growing It's getting deeper and deeper There is no turning back Awareness is fading A void is calling as life's no more Infinity welcomes the flesh Will chunks of flesh be beaten before Pressure forces bones to break The ocean will give The ocean will take Water is forgiving Without care for the dead Nor the living It's getting colder and colder Now we're surrounded by black Panic is growing It's getting deeper and deeper There is no turning back Awareness is fading

Distant voices Calling out your name Slowly fading Away in your mind In the shadows you are walking into nowhere All tide up inside your mind It feels like you are lost in a mirror maze Without a way to get out Fury haunts you tries to change you All you want is self-esteem Living mortals, psychic behavior Makes it harder to still your mind Calling for understanding Searching for your own presence You are lost inside your mind You can't break the chains that hold you All you need is self awareness You are reaching out for the world So quiet that you can hear a teardrop fall You are isolated in your mind Watching traffic roaring Loud but you can't hear it Locked in a mental prison Designed by xour mind You are trying to survive this You should try to live instead No one hears you, no one sees you You are lost in a twilight zone Calling for understanding Searching for your own presence You are lost inside your mind You can't break the chains that hold you All you need is self awareness You are reaching out for the world

I remember you You were lost in agony Couldn't find a way To move on smiling to the world Everything is gone All the lonely nights you've cried Couldn't let it go No one wants to survive their own children You were filled with hope Then the world fell down, everything was all gone (You were crying, you're denying) There were no answers... Dreams fade away Smiles were far away, memories haunting you Forever lost Try to move on, take a chance, you are not alone Try to live again...hope How can we help you This can not go on anymore It's so hard to understand What you've been going through You were filled with hope Then the world fell down, everything was all gone (You were crying, you're denying) There were no answers... Dreams fade away Smiles were far away, memories haunting you Forever lost Try to move on, take a chance, you are not alone Try to live again...hope

Way up there the world's got a cover You've learned to translate them Soft lined interpretations Of what the future will bring Leave me be I don't want to know Take my eyes Don't want to care no more The sky will show and tell Will you believe A breach in my sanity Rolling over me I can't deny them Wishing for rain Nighttime provides peace of mind Forming a cloudscape of signs Visible to the chosen few Every hour changing the message Sometimes they're good, often they're not Leave me be I don't want to know Take my eyes Don't want to care no more The sky will show and tell Will you believe A breach in my sanity Rolling over me I can't deny them Wishing for rain Nighttime provides peace of mind Frustration builds my world

Prettending like an actor, a mind, intensions so black Solitude darkness will be set free Evolution made mistakes, to improve failures occur Walking beside us, who could know... A frontpage, something behind There are three sides to some stories Blleding from the eyes that haunt you Leaving scars which will reveal them Give that pleasure they've been longing for Pray to keep the demon locked in Buried in the mind forever Roam the earth for all eternity Sedated in rooms with soft walls We try to be enlightened We're grasping for the answers Since beginning of time A riddle that followed mankind, give us a cure A frontpage, something behind There are three sides to some stories Blleding from the eyes that haunt you Leaving scars which will reveal them Give that pleasure they've been longing for Pray to keep the demon locked in Buried in the mind forever Roam the earth for all eternity Prettending like an actor, a mind, intensions so black Among innocent people solitude darkness will be set free Blleding from the eyes that haunt you Leaving scars which will reveal them Give that pleasure they've been longing for Pray to keep the demon locked in Buried in the mind forever Roam the earth for all eternity

The globe turned to ashes A gift spoiled by greed Irrevocable actions No healing, no treatment, a wasteland Find redemption in machines Built to help, changed to kill Controlled by evil hands Forced to see through different eyes Tentative efforts to leave this place Dissident parties joined under one dream Searching for the new homeworld A 1000 brave souls Set their eyes to the endless black Reaching out for a dream Hope never dies But it is controlled by fear Evolving industries pleased the crowd Minds replaced by living steel Technology grew past up The spiral spun faster down Parts made for destruction Gives hope to a dying breed A construction of salvation Built to last, built to reach Tentative efforts to leave this place Dissident parties joined under one dream Searching for the new homeworld A 1000 brave souls Set their eyes to the endless black Reaching out for a dream Hope never dies But it is controlled by fear Searching for the new homeworld A thousand brave souls Set their eyes to the endless black Reaching out for a dream Hope never dies Controlled by fear

Deep behind lines of fire where conditions are barbaric Everyone is floating in a sea so dark and cold We bear an illusion of a world, a world with candour Believing in freedom and a life of growing old Thinking of my loved ones to escape the fear I feel Longing for some music to forget the world of steel Someone else is living my life Something else is waiting for me My pulse is rising but time stands still I am caught in a scene of a brutal major mission A mission not yet seen a mission of destruction Clay-cold men, affray becomes an addiction My mind keeps playing pictures of my deepest fear of all Fear of losing my family the most precious thing of all Someone else is living my life Something else is waiting for me Thinking of my loved ones to escape the fear I feel Longing for some music to forget the world of steel Someone else is living my life Something else is waiting for me

The silence seems so strange It feels like there is something coming The day turns into night Still we're not aware We have to care We'll keep our fires that light up the world What is it we are waiting for Will we remain Shadows and darkness (rising) We are together as one Children are crying We must give them tomorrow Night falls, fires burning So many lives Are wasted for nothing I have a dream Lights and shadows, signs of the moon Imagine a place Where love grows deep Without fear and hate We have to care We'll keep our fires that light up the world What is it we are waiting for Will we remain Shadows and darkness (rising) We are together as one Children are crying We must give them tomorrow Night falls, fires burning So many lives Are wasted for nothing We are together...
