Ends of the Earth

When the shackles are broken tonight Seize your chance for it may be your last You opened the door to another world of pain Then sought salvation on the other side Acquire the elixir to ease your mind Don’t you feel the need to change The indifference that’s unexplained Unleash me now You hold the key All you ever were or will be Created in disharmony Decimate the walls of fire I can’t stand the heat much longer Can you feel the release of pure adrenaline After the bright lights comes the emptiness inside Come back to me now as my world crashes down Will our paths intertwine Shattering everything Destroying all I am Becoming inspiration for the next generation I am exuberance I am enlightenment On the verge of collapse as the next wave attacks Let me show you my true strength now Don’t go chasing shadows In the middle of the night You listen for warnings Illuminate my sense of sight On a cold midwinter morning It’s all turning into despair I am destiny I will exist forever On the road to immortality I won’t leave a trace I won’t make a sound Exuberant touch Exhilarant desire Wake me up so I can’t return again Raise me up when I’ve got nothing left to give Don’t be afraid of what stands in your way And I won’t forget the reason I’m here When your back is up against the wall and you feel strung out Anxiety will eat me alive Then suddenly begin to die As despair turns into delight Persevering through the turbulence Bittersweet emotions kill the innocence Systematic self-destruction (is causing me pain) Sabotaging all my visions (losing perspective again) I’m a master of the darkness (I’m the poison you crave) You’re the chosen one so take it

I have seen the episodes of madness in the eyes of passers by I have felt the energy flow through the heart of catastrophic devastation Of wilderness untouched by greed A constantly evolving canvas The ravages of time and knowing hollowness Contemplating my soul At the ends of the earth I’ll race the dying light To the edge of existence Where it’s all forgiven I’ll stand my ground When the ashes rain down Fear of the unknown Drives me further onward I have seen the sheets of ice catch fire in torrential downpours Supernatural forces raining over me into the pit of desolation Everlasting train of thunder relays the fears of our ancestors Weathering the storm of ages into the blackness where I will believe again I have become what I could only ever dream of A wanderer between the stars, a pillar in time Navigator of the earth and all it creates I will survive darkness at the ends of the earth For the air I breathe Purifying all my senses Captivating Overwhelming Ecstatic wonders at my feet Rejuvenation of the mind Natural constructs of the light Universal solidarity Will be my guide At the ends of the earth I’m running out of time Discovery waits for no one I’ll be the one who makes it through the storming waters Understand the power of nature Feel the pressure rise as I plunge into the unknown Unforgiving ocean Battering me over and over Pulls me under as the waves crash over my head

As the red sun falls beneath the horizon We’ve crossed the point of no return It feels like we are drifting through the twilight While the stars are echoing signs Through the fires that rage along the way In search of a higher purpose We create foundations for a new beginning We’ll rise from the ashes of a frozen world Too long I’ve been deceived I’m leaving everything behind The memories The shattered dreams And misfortune that was coming my way Death foretold as the story unfolds Nothing will emerge from here alive Middle of nowhere Nothing to hold on A cry for help was never enough to save me In my eyes I’ve been redeemed It takes a setback to visualise the changes to the world (darkness all around) The curtain starts to fall Hell froze over The battle has just begun I’ll march towards the sun With uncertainty and anger inside Zero below the sun I’m a zero below the sun Zero below the sun Is all I’ll ever be Fading away in the starless night I’ve fallen from grace Neon lights awaiting me Before the rising of the sun I waste my life on the plains of sorrow Somewhere in the distance A voice whispers me to the light Resurrected by a newborn star Until the day when death unites I feel so isolated One step from devastation There is no turning back Crimson sun sets on the earth I ask myself Should I trust my instincts now All those years of insignificance Roll the dice Become the catalyst The days are long and nights unending I can’t see The eclipse is blinding Closing in with the fast approaching storm Will you be forever by my side Far from vanity Escape from agony Hanging onto life with grim dissatisfaction I have reached the pinnacle of life I’ve conquered new heights I have the will to resist the power of the universe And I won’t deny the glory is mine Lay your trust in me until we’re out of sight Fading away in the starless night I’ve fallen from grace Neon lights awaiting me Before the rising of the sun The day has come and I’m the last one standing The leap of faith Anticipating the fall

If we can’t accept the reasons why We’re out of touch and cast aside Just a limitless expedition Through the grand illusion of reality Losing my balance on the edge of desperation Aspirations I abandoned slowly return Consequence for existence How can I find the way to deliverance Eternal suffering within The rise and fall of a tortured mind Thinking what could have been Is the death of everything A strange anomaly Was it all just a dream Looking back through The mirrors of tragedy The challenge ahead of me Join me on the journey As we race to infinity Take me back to the days when I felt alive Living with regrets that I can’t deny I’m crushed by the weight for eternity To the point where I lost belief It all went wrong and integrity disappeared Those days are gone and there’s nothing left to lose Turn the page and write something new It’s the only way to truly exist If the wheels fall off and you spiral out of control Will you find the strength to go alone Fallen paradise lays forgotten Torn apart by arrogance and corruption I don’t want to repeat the failures Mistakes I wish I could change Everything you do will come back to you When dreams will come true Don’t know when I lost my way Don’t know where I’ll find the faith But we all go down in a sea of flames That’s all she wrote for me Running away from the truth until it’s nothing but a distant memory It’s just a fragment of my imagination The last step in my recovery Eternal suffering within The rise and fall of a tortured mind Thinking what could have been Is the death of everything The darkness and light The screams of innocence The thorns will follow me Back to reality The past can’t haunt me I’m desperately holding on to the last strings of my sanity I’m nothing but a spark in history For many years I wandered aimlessly To the stars we’ll make it another day For the future’s shrouded in mystery Take me back to the place where I felt alive Living with regrets that I can’t deny I’m crushed by the weight for eternity To the point where I lost belief In the end we’re just preparing for death The day the when the light returns to you Fight or flight Dark or light That day I was never the same again I’m a scapegoat for an illogical system Paid the price for a lack of defiance Walking through the shards of broken glass It’s a death by a thousand cuts Reflecting myself in the mirror won't become any easier As I crash into the wall You're the one to wake me up

How can you tolerate this symphony of pain When the world laughs you’ve been left behind Questioning all the inconsistencies That sink me deeper into misery In deafening silence as the clock ticks down Revelations arrive when the lights go out Only death can break the spell From the merciless arms of insanity In the heart of chaos I stand alone Watching my back for the next attack Where I’m alienated by society A lost cause for the outcast It’s crawling back into your veins tonight Feel your heart burst as it ignites It’s cravenness coursing through my brain No wings to bring me back down to earth Distant messengers telling me who I should be Dark voices resonating within A humble introduction to the real world Now comes the pressure I cannot take Frustrating progress in denial Mental instability is on the rise Don’t patronise me with your self-delusions I’m not to blame for your exile Through dedication Determination inside I crave to make a change Reveal my ambition A vicious cycle Disturbing rhythm Shifting momentum Until the end of time Obscurity Invasive methods It’s killing me Until the end of time When the dark arrives and dictates your life and your nightmares turn into reality When the knife cuts fine and the fear controls your every move into insanity A taste of weakness A thirst to break Inside this living hell where I dwell It numbs your senses and fuels your hate For the one I used to be is gone I’m just a shell of a man now A puppet in the show It feels like the walls are closing in and I can’t get out of here

The inquisitive eyes of a nameless traveller Undefined and misunderstood Only friend is solitude Only wish is to feel the sun again Unfulfilled potential This search bringing me to my knees I cry for the remnants of a life Once flourishing Unraveling Ride towards the storm Feel the energy flow through you and guide you through the night Wonder what’s beyond Follow the light at the end of the tunnel that’s burning bright Remembering the hopes and dreams of yesterdays I’ll never let them fade away (coming back from the brink of death) Sacrifices I can’t forget Now I’ve see what’s left of me Tell me where have those feelings gone Cast into oblivion Staring at the autumn sun Will leave me hanging on for someone to get me out of here The past can’t be undone but the world keeps turning for everyone Through the looking glass of time I’ve seen through the gates of time and it all will be mine once again I’m lost in the game but I’ve got something to believe in The tide will turn when you least expect Gates flood open to memories Everything I touch turns to grey Nothing will ever feel the same Superstitious I arrive (and I die) Silence is the enemy (of our kind) Hunger for another chance at life Beyond redemption I ride Remembering the hopes and dreams of yesterdays I’ll never let them fade away (coming back from the brink of death) I’m back from oblivion Hapless in the face of adversity You turned your back on me Ultimate sacrifice at the end I’m back from oblivion Until the final breath is drawn Don’t hesitate and throw your life away Nothing can stop me now The doubts inside will be laid to rest as I fall asleep I found solace in the rain Lived to tell a tale of escape Shouldn’t be this hard to understand Why this land keeps leaving the weak for dead And everytime I run I see the damage I’ve done To the sacred order of the earth When it’s all said and done I won’t be the only one

The ultimate prize awaits the ones who seek redemption In the dead of the night Uprising for the right to a revolution Comprehending gravity of the situation I’m blazing through a trail of flames (as I search for) Pioneering the great escape (what I live for) Shielded from the elements Relieved to be alive In the hour of awakening Do my eyes deceive It’s all becoming clear now Behold the power Come back and face your adversary Triumphant return of the great redeemer The last act The grand becoming Don’t relent Let your downfall fuel the fire in me Brace yourself for the new horizon A false sense of security is hovering Awoken to serenity Engraved in stone and carved into my memory No longer held by degeneration Mythological spirits rising from the dead Guarding your precious life I will not listen to what they say There’s no way to ease the tension Creations arise and restore the balance of power Under cold light true colours begin to show Seasons will change but desire remains the same With the dying embers of the flame We’re closer to the dawn of a new era Break free and overcome the odds It’s all happening for a reason Celebrate newfound prosperity Victorious Will be our legacy With the sun we’ll rise again To fight for supremacy There’s no way to ease the tension Creations arise and restore the balance of power Under cold light true colours begin to show Concealing your fate was a curse and all for nothing Enduring the heat through the ages A storm will rage with the force of a million stars There’s no end to the tyranny To end the violence that surrounds our world Going nowhere on this journey to find out who we are I’ve become a shadow of myself and it shows I’m taking a chance when the night falls No evil will take me down Experience gained through adversity I can’t become what they want me to be I’m forever, I’m forever me
