I’m feeling so empty inside When the fragments of pain return from the back of my mind Of all of the lies I’ve been told “We love you” must be the worst I couldn’t find any reason to stay My life is too precious to sacrifice The darkest of shadows follow my soul Tonight I will join all lost ones on the run I have to run away No, no, no I’m all alone in this world When the memories arise and punch a new hole in my soul I’m hiding my head in my hands for the fragments to disappear I wait for the nightfall, eager to leave I whisper goodbye to the house of fear Watching my sister cry in her sleep One day she will understand I know I’m scarred for life All messed up with no place to go I’m out here all alone Lonelier than the streets I wander I’ll always have these scars inside I’m scarred for life I’m lost in the cold of the night Looking for shelter until the dawn turns to day I’m holding my hands to my head For the silence to reappear The fragments and places remembered with fear Never to leave, just fade away I’ll carry them with me forever and a day Just like a nail in my heart I know I’m scarred for life All messed up with no place to go I’m out here all alone Lonelier than the streets I wander I’ll always have these scars inside

So lonely, feeling so alone in the dark The world is really fierce out here I’m so alone and scared I’m tired and the cold is getting to my bones Everything is so unreal, fighting on my own My heart is pounding fast So lonely, thinking of the end I’m soon to see Keeping all my tears inside Leaving all the world behind I don’t know where to run Oh, I don’t know where to go from here I don’t know right from wrong I just have to carry on Awakened by a stranger looking down at me Another soul on the run Telling me his heart is glad to find me Together we will try to make it out alive I see the horror in his eyes, his story isn’t far from mine We don’t know where to run Oh, we don’t know where to go from here We don’t know right from wrong We just have to carry on We don’t know where to run Oh, we don’t know where to go from here The dreams we have inside will come true and we will be reborn tonight I’ve found a friend Someone that is sharing my pain Now I know that there is something good in all this darkness We don’t know where to run Oh, we don’t know where to go from here We don’t know right from wrong We just have to carry on We don’t know where to run Oh, we don’t know where to go from here The dreams we have inside will come true and we will be reborn We are throwing all our fears into the fire Life for us has only just begun

The two of us, so young and so wild We can’t find the cure to what has led us astray Far apart from what we once were And we both made a choice There’s no turning back from here There’s no turning back from here But we have no aim, just keeping up the pace Who’s the best of us and who’s the stronger one? Will it ever end this escalating game? We’re reborn to live on the edge Who’s the bravest of us? Who will live to tell? And I’m so scared of what we’ve become As we double the bets, the proportions exceed ourselves The proportions exceed our sanity But we have no aim, just keeping up the pace Who’s the best of us and who’s the stronger one? Will it ever end this escalating game? And we have gone from meek to brave And we’re chasing a dream that never will come true Letting go of all our fears The unavoidable end is the enemy we defy But we have no aim, just keeping up the pace Who’s the best of us and who’s the stronger one? Will it ever end this escalating game? There can be only one But we have no aim, just keeping up the pace Who’s the best of us and who’s the stronger one? Will it ever end this escalating game? Oh...

The rain is cold as ice today The day I never wanted to come We have come to the final round We have reached the point of no return I can see that you’re afraid, but there is no way out You are the one to show the way This is the final dare I know this could be your last day I place the rope around your neck And I can see the anguish in your eyes No, my breath is swept away by the sight I see I cannot move, I cannot scream, no, no! He chokes for breath in vain I fail to cut the rope in time The game is over now His broken soul is lost for evermore I feel his soul is far away A part of me has died I wonder who’s to show the way He left this world behind I feel his soul is far away A part of me has died I wonder who’s to show the way

My heart is in pain Surrounded by emptiness How could I do this to my only friend? The memories of joy vanished without a trace Wandering aimlessly Empty inside I know I’ll never be, be myself again Death and despair is forever to dwell in my soul It’s never to leave me, no I feel so alone Guilt is written all over me I’m losing myself in this maze of remorse Please wake me up from the nightmare that’s haunting me I only see darkness wherever I turn I know he’ll never be, be alive again When the death and despair is forever to rhyme with my name I can’t stand the pain any longer Lonely, losing time and space I am reborn in remorse and regret Oh, no sight of light inside The darkness is all around I’m calling your name I wish you could see me now But only my echo is with me tonight You know I would trade my life for your return But you’ll never hear this promise I make I know I’ll never be, be myself again And the tears that I cry is the lifeblood I stole from your eyes I can’t stand the pain any longer Lonely, losing time and space My soul is reborn in remorse and regret Oh, no sight of light inside The darkness is all around No, no, no, no, no, no I’m losing myself in this maze of remorse My world is insane I surrender to silence But will I be able to bury the truth? I know I’ll never be, be myself again And the tears that I cry is the lifeblood I stole from your eyes I can’t stand the pain any longer Lonely, losing time and space My soul is reborn in remorse and regret Oh, no sight of light inside The darkness is all around

I’m all alone, waiting for no one And I see the daylight fade away And I’m so afraid I know you’re around me And I hear you crying in the wind If I could bring you back If I had the power, I’d give you my world and my life You’d have it all But life is not a game And I know the rules and I know I must follow them every single day I feel that I’m losing it all There’s nothing left to live for I’m ending it all in my dreams It always seems so easy in my sleep I’m all alone, waiting for darkness And I wish the sun would slip away And I still believe that you didn’t leave me And I see your shadow in the haze If I could have some peace Ending the nightmare, closing the chapter And join you in your sleep But life is not a game And I know the rules and I know I must follow them every single day I feel that I’m losing it all There’s nothing left to live for I’m ending it all in my dreams And deep inside I knew That there was one part of me That tried to save you from yourself The other let you go and I will never deny I was walking on the line of here and nevermore in selfish pride I feel that I’m losing it all There’s nothing left to live for I’m ending it all in my dreams It always seems so easy in my sleep

Day and night just come and go I hate that life is so deceiving, oh... I feel this urge to turn away From all the sadness and grieving, oh... I find my way back to the place where we parted All I hear is my heart pounding inside I’m so afraid of what I’ll see when I return There’s a part of me that needs to say goodbye Until we meet again Now and then he reappears In my dreams, in my illusions, oh... Pointing out the chosen path It feels so real – am I really dreaming? Soon I’ll see what time has done to my creation Hell on Earth is just a few steps away The Sun is hiding – I am in the heart of darkness I’m closing in on the godforsaken tree The moment I defy the pain Is here again, in another way All the fear in my life Is erased from my soul I never knew that my fantasies Could be oh so close to reality And what I see here right now Is so hard to believe I see the rope, my friend is gone His body’s nowhere to be found I hear him whisper in the wind I hear him calling out my name Am I going insane? The moment I defy the fear Is here again, I can feel he’s near All the fear in my life Have returned to my soul I never knew that my fantasies Could be oh so close to reality And what I see here right now Is so hard to believe And the moment I defy the fear Is here again, I can feel he’s near All the fear in my life Have returned to my soul I never knew that my fantasies Could be oh so close to reality And what I see here right now Is so hard to believe

Darkness all around me, I believe That we will be together once again The time has come to leave this dreadful place I think I’ve found a way out of this maze Tonight the moon will shine upon my grave God has failed – here’s one he cannot save My life is over, I just can’t go on Nowhere to run, I’m turning black inside I hope to meet him in the other sky I’ve realized I’m only born to die I close my eyes and ask myself again Is there really nothing left to do? The silence in my heart just prove me right Soon my journey will begin towards eternal night I’m breathing water, death is closing in (oh death is closing in) It’s cold and dark but I am not afraid (no, I am not afraid) I’m out of breath, there’s no way out of here (there’s no way out of here) This is the end of all the pain and fear (the end of pain and fear)

I lie here by the lakeside, I am still alive somehow It’s all too strange for me to understand How could someone see me in the darkness of the night? How could someone bring me back to life? Is there another world? (Dead or alive?) Oh, life is haunting me I can’t describe the feeling – could it all just be a dream? I’m still wet and the memories remain I rise and try to make my way back to the normal world I’ve realized that life has to go on It’s so hard to decide (Dead or alive) Now fear will carry me, back to the world Another day is dawning Now my journey will begin Destined to return to normal life It feels like I’ve been out here for eternity and more I’ve lost all sense of time but I’ll be strong It’s so hard to decide (Dead or alive) My past is haunting me

My heart never wanted to leave For the silence was gold for my soul Now I am heading back home, I return To the world that I decide to leave My life is a waste of time I wish I could end it But something won’t let me go I’m back, everything looks the same All these people but I’m still alone I’m soon to arrive at the place where my fear was born Torn, torn apart The scars are still bleeding inside I’ll never forgive you One part of me always cry And it’s crying ‘cause of you (So long ago) I gave you my heart, it was... (So long ago) I gave you my soul, it was... (So long ago) I gave you my heart, it was... (So long ago) But you gave me hell in return You made what I am here today All the sadness you brought to my soul Is something I’ll never find ways to defy If you could see me what you’ve done to me now Maybe you would understand The love you never gave me Would have made me much stronger inside But it is too late to change (So long ago) I gave you my heart (So long ago) And I gave you my soul (So long ago) And I gave you, I gave you my heart (So long ago) But you gave me hell in return! I’m back where the darkness began All is empty, not a soul around Where are you now? Where did all of you go? Nothing is left Nothing is left from before It seems like a lifetime has passed here while I was gone No...
