When All the Rivers Are Silent
I guess we're done, but it's not over yet I am still searching for the definition to myself And I travelled far across the distance Riding the waves of delusion Drifting from place to place Oh, I feel ghosts crawling on my skin Reminding me of all the things I've done So far my pattern has been to hurt those I trusted And I know that I need to change Before death do us part forever We started from scratch Ended up with nothing Now I look down beneath the still surface Into the Well of Grief My restless heart, yours unfaithfully I will become The pale king When october begins Please forgive me I gave the abyss gaze back at me It's far too late for me to turn back The promise turned into regret I've played the game of love and lost The truth is always one step behind the costs We started from the scratch Ended up with nothing Now I look down beneath the still surface Into the Well of Grief My restless heart Yours unfaithfully I have become The pale king A caricature of all virtues Have mercy

There is a place that I recall If I just close my eyes I can hear the roaring sea and The call of the wind - Eternity The place where I belong I can no longer live this way Silently pretending without faith My heart was in two places at once And it turned my point of view insane I don't know If I can make it For us it's too late But I'll try to forgive at least to myself Now I know that life is not just give and take I've always followed my wrath The only thing I know for real And when I found the truth in front of me It made me lose my false identity You needed so much more than I could give And so I failed to love completely I've shed so many tears A thousand miles from nowhere We both lost our dreams In this great circle of agony Still the future remains unwritten

Once I though that I had a taste for perfection But I was just clinging on to life And most of the conclusions I made for all the wrong reasons Burning all my aces for the score I played all or nothing at all Now I'm sinking to myself with the things I cannot vocalise I test myself in the fire of suffering Define myself for the future I have lost the way but not my will to live I reborn through pain And I turn my eyes where the sky begins To the raging waters where relentless swings strike out First son is tasting fury The sea is high, answer - In its veins I'm about to draw another line To navigate myself out from - This place Whatever it may take One more chapter to the black water tales Revolution will refine Grace under pressure Before I disappear From the face of the earth Give me eyes to see the future Grace under pressure Cos' I refuse to stare To the depths of emptiness anymore In time we all will vanish Like dust in the wind When you let yourself live from your heart You can find grace under pressure

The journey of a thousand lies Begins with just one step So unstable and chaotic Trademarks of my hit parade I've tried to think A man can change But I just can't get The broken pieces to fit I've been in a place As black as night Praying Gods under the pale moon light Desire like thunder - I'm in the game Sails filled with northern Wind and rain I've tried to think A man can change But I just can't get The broken pieces to fit Life just drives me insane So if you want darker - Then I am your man Baby, just call me Jack of all mistakes Every path that I have I've ever taken Has thrown me deeper into the night Some things just can't be undone Thnking otherwise is just a waste of time

Old before his time Crippled by the unspoken demands Modern sacrificial rites More is not enough to be a man A Great fire burn within Poisoned by the feeling of inadequacy A lust for the immediate response Fulfilling all the expectations What have you done You're just another mercenary of addiction Broken by the way of life Set in motion For the last call Can't breath under the water The myth of being indestructible Is standardized to mass production Can't breath under the water Then needs before your own Pride comes before a fall The reason never sleeps Dreams entangled into consuming loyalty Nine to five Titan exists no more

So close but yet so far Prodigal son, you shine just like a star But as you know the light that burns Twice as bright... Burns half as long That's just the way it is And you wish if you could change Turn back the time but the grip Of addiction is o' so tight A reflection of northern overkill Endless search for continuous thrill Staring out over the bridge Into the water deep down below Cannot find any rhyme or reason to go on It makes you suffer, it makes you cry You don't know who you are The Stranger Now servant on the other side Personality never identified

I've been told that the truth Is always in fashion But I rather not speak my mind 'Cos mankind is inability to hear things Which do not fit in the way we see Ourselves and the world Everything was forever Until it was no more Bound to follow the tireless motion Called the myth of progress We have trained ourselves not to see And now the darkness is driving us Farther away from the shore Everything was forever Until it was no more Goliath is awake This king wears no crown The Extinction is now online Spit the venom around you Hide and seek with the inevitable The Extinctionist Trading all tomorrows for A single yesterday The Cemetery is now your Walk Of Fame The Extinctionist Now there is no one to share the blame 'Cos it was always Me, Myself and I Now in spite of ourselves the wheels Keep on turning The Extinction is now online

Emptiness with thee With the cold in your heart You flee Lying in your hideaway Oh, I have tried to remember Seeing back in the times when your light shone bright It faded all away Our aid out of the dark you always denied Never to be free In your cage of fright that no one sees Nothing to believe in Delighting secretly Seeing back in the times when your light shone bright It faded all away One fate, yet without destiny Forever You will sail Waiting for the sun to rise, darkness will remain With all the shades of pain along your way Haven behind that shield, the one you will not tear Beyond your shackles of fear We saw your face, still we were Longing for the ones not revealed Now when the air is all we share

Born out of spite Hate and feeling of insecurity I became dependent upon something in an injurious way Somewhere along the way I ran out of pride I was so predictable when harm rang the bell Both far and wide I'm sick and tired to ride the pale horse over and over again My heart has come undone Bitter, vicious - Like no one else's I don't know where I belong The lockdown has just begun - Parathon My eyes got used to the darkness To live without faith Volunteer for self-destruction Please God Redefine who I am Because I can't do it All by myself

When I was young I built the walls around my heart In the name of freedom And when I finally learned How to keep all the things inside me I was enslaved by disbelief I nurtured my anxiety with flesh I tried so hard but I couldn't make myself to communicate Please save my soul I know I am More than able to love and hate At the same time I burned every bridge over the troubled waters Just to see how much I can take Turning my cheek to another mistakes My heart is like a river, longing to the sea And I look into the distance To find the road That's lost in me to find my destiny Now my river runs to thee So many things have changed But I am still the same Now my river runs to thee I've been having a hard time To learn from what's behind me Now my river runs to thee Can you forgive me if I fail Will you still be there for me? Now when the rivers are silent I'm able to see blue kindness in your eyes Now when the rivers are silent I find myself standing still within time
