A Closer Look
How could you know How it was before? Did you ever ask? If it was cold once Some things, they change Some stay the same But what is seen by your eyes Could have some veils But did you ever care? A closer look Right between these walls Where it hides a heart that's turning cold All hopes are gone They've left long ago See how tired it was of being alone When lights were gone It was hard to see How things became How wrong they were The drum is slowing It hides your eyes How long will you grope around? For how long can you hide? Just for one more day... But since the day we met Something's changed right in between A glimmer of what everything ought to be Have we ever met? Somehow I can see your face It hides within a dream within a dream The world has torn me down It will haunt me until the end But what if we just try to live that dream? Even if I will spend my time Facing the world against all odds Just for your kiss Just for one more day... A closer look Right between these walls Where it shows a beating heart of hope Its scarlet shape It once looked so cold Beating for the miracle of love Just for your love

My friend, we are staring once again Eye to eye, facing our fate Will we live to tell this tale? In time of need will you protect me? Do you remember love? 'Cause I can't feel it My brother, something changed, without a reason why Once you could lean on me but now I fear that Like a primordial scourge, a tear will drop here in between I cannot understand, there is no meaning I cannot yield my hatred, it's just a part of me Blood shall turn to venom Hate will rip out your last breath Fighting, last ditch effort Till the last man stands Envy, fear, maybe pride Nobody gets the reason why Vengeance, scorn, even for love We diverge and there's no hope But if we fight, some will die If we fight... Fight, then die! Blood shall turn to venom Hate will rip out your last breath Fighting, last ditch effort Till the last man stands Blood shall turn to venom Hate will rip out your last breath This is the final warning This fight ends without draw

Since you left me on my own Since you beat me down, I'm alone And what should I say? Something's gotta give This little joker is turning old And what should I say When you just try to tear me down? I can't explain, but all you've got for me It gives me strength, it oozes out of my bones I go insane, even for love Still my soul is screaming with hope Life, did you treat me right? And yet I still adore you... I am blind, for sure misled Still I'm driven to push myself beyond Life, did you treat me right? And yet I still adore you... Every step, it is hard as hell Still hope is twisted right in my bones I'm struggling but every barrier Defines boundaries and I'm movin' beyond Life, did you treat me right? And yet I still adore you... I am blind, for sure misled Still I'm driven to push me beyond Life, did you treat me right? And yet I still adore you... A new sun rises, a new dawn is near All I need to know, is that I don't live in fear I still believe Someday you will remember me Faithfully So relentlessly yours

Just one minute on your own to reconcile with fear Stand on solid ground, with concrete in your mouth One for all and take all you can, for your major success Stone cold greed, diggin' your own pit At the edge of darkness Surrounded by your light One feeble flame to ignite your life At the edge of darkness Surrounded by your light Behind the mirror, masks will fall with all your pride Organize your empty days for tomorrow's wonderland Turn your heart to clay, just to never feel the pain At the edge of darkness Surrounded by your light One feeble flame to ignite your life At the edge of darkness Surrounded by your light Behind the mirror, masks will fall with all your pride Come closer to my arms Depart from what you have become Is everything fine? Lay under the tree Leave it all behind Hold your breath and ask yourself: "Could I make it right?" Distance makes you colder Stand barefoot on the thin grass Does it make you afraid? Lay under the tree Leave it all behind Hold your breath and ask yourself: "Could I make it right?" Deep down to the core It lies our will, a heart free and pure Deep down to the core We're losing a trait, we forget to feel It took some time for you, even to realize The power of love was firmly denied How could you lose the chance to be true? You gotta move on, because the time is right Define yourself and learn to be one with the earth Through your inner god spread the eyes of love I've been mistreated for too long Now hurry my son, even if it's too late At the edge of darkness Surrounded by your light One feeble flame to ignite your life At the edge of darkness Surrounded by your light Behind the mirror, masks will fall with all your pride

Waking up before a dream It may be hard so see what's around How things are modified In this twist two realities collide Now imagine for a while If the thoughts in your mind could come alive How things are modified If the purpose of life comes from inside Down with my river I flow Deep into the unknown ocean Like all the worries of life It could take some time to learn to swim Against the tides Where do you go? You shouldn't have tried How long could you resist? Just as one against the tides Down with the river you flow Deep into the unknown ocean Like all the worries of life It could take some time to learn to swim Against the tides Don't get lost into despair In this depth you might find the key Lost in this maze of chances let the good ones prevail Lousy one how could you dare? Your wandering soul is condemned Get lost in this path and you may lose the thin wire of life Down with the river you flow Deep into the unknown ocean Like all the worries of life It could take some time to learn to swim Against the tides Drown, drown, then watch me drown Down, down, then watch me go down Drown, drown, then watch me drown Down, down, I'll watch you drown Down with my river I flow Deep into the unknown ocean Like all the worries of life It could take some time to learn to swim Against the tides Drown, drown, then watch me drown Down, down, then watch me go down Where do you go? You shouldn't have tried How long could you resist? Just as one against the tides Where do you go? You shouldn't have tried How long could you resist? Just as one against the tides

God lay dead in heaven; Angels sang the hymn of the end; Purple winds went moaning, Their wings drip-dripping With blood That fell upon the earth. It, groaning thing, Turned black and sank. Then from the far caverns Of dead sins Came monsters, livid with desire. They fought, Wrangled over the world, A morsel. But of all sadness this was sad - A woman's arms tried to shield The head of a sleeping man From the jaws of the final beast. (Steve Crane - "God Lay Dead In Heaven") Hear me Screaming like thousand before Hear them Yelling for more To the lost and abandoned souls To those who have passed away And to whom it may concern I'm newer on these silent plains This heart-breaking stillness Is the frightful sound of the world Should someone ever hear it They will melt into a flood Hear me Screaming like thousand before Hear them Yelling for more Against your bitter rush of thoughts The stealer lives among us Speechless right from the heart Betrayed just like one of us What did we learn? Just us, united on this field Our deepest thoughts are gone Just us, united on this field Our useless flesh and bones Create fear Where do we go from here? Fading in time We are all the same Fading in time Our screams, fading through the sky
