Strangers
Strangers we are Craving distance, we walk too far Please, remind me Why do we fall apart like strangers? Strangers we are This existence tears us apart Please, remind me When did we let our hearts estrange us? In the streets we pass each other by (Far above us) As towers scrape the sky Strangers we are Craving distance, we walk too far Please, remind me Why do we fall apart like strangers? Why are we strangers? Must we be strangers?

Where are you? In a corner street I am standing on my own Time just froze around me and the city turned to stone Strangers pass me by as I am falling to the ground Wondering will I be found? I once ran forward to chase my goal When the flame in my heart was burning Now the cold came and froze my soul (Froze her soul) And my feet are stumbling Save me From this cold that can slice Longing for you, come and break the ice Only you can warm up the blue Where are you, where are you, where are you Where are you? Soggy eyes reflect the shine that shapes your silhouette Come, approach, crack your way through this cold, breeze of a threat Then, like in a dream, I'll get the shivers from your warmth You’ll embrace me through the frost I’ll adore you, laugh or tears Dear savior of frozen years Through the concrete and the lies You can hear my cries Save me From this cold that can slice Longing for you, come and break the ice Only you can warm up the blue Where are you, where are you, where are you Where are you? She once ran forward to chase her goal While the flame in her heart was burning Through the concrete and the lies only you can hear her cries You would break down the city walls Rescue me from the tallest tower You will weather stormy falls 'Til you bring the summer Forever I’ll enshrine you, savior of mine

Tantibus I tamed the demon in my nightmare, just to realize I woke up to a dim, grey world And soon I closed my eyes Once again in a dream I had it all Standing tall And now I fall into hibernation The safety of my own creation On to the fight I run away to Into the night Where I prevail Far in a place that I can’t leave behind On to the fight I run away to Into the night in every chance I can find To close my eyes So I only hear the silence in my mind I am the beast, I am the nightmare, demon in disguise A stranger in a world stranger than when I close my eyes Once again in a dream I had it all Standing tall And now I fall into hibernation The safety of my own creation On to the fight I run away to Into the night Where I prevail Far in a place that I can’t leave behind On to the fight I run away to Into the night in every chance I can find To close my eyes So I only hear the silence in my mind Tantibus Sitting on your chest Tantibus Eating out your heart Tantibus Feed my soul to me No one can tear us apart!

In a quiet night breeze you float, so real Like a shadow of ethereal light When I look through your eyes Your empty gaze shows me Memories that I had of you That disappeared Moments that we once shared Take a wrong turn and feel… Stranger I’m breaking down In a quiet night’s sleep I’m left here to drown Stranger A dream long gone Now I can’t face the world on my own In a breathtaking scene your voice still rings Keeps me asleep, yet awake Souls have collided as flames were ignited Divided in one great mistake When all was at stake Memories that I had of you That disappeared Moments that we once shared Take a wrong turn and feel… Stranger I’m breaking down In a quiet night’s sleep I’m left here to drown Stranger A dream long gone Now I can’t face the world on my own

This is a page in the diary Of a world that was chaos and void Before we came about Predators roamed in the wild We were fragile like a child Before we tamed the land Many have died in their tries Many have looked into danger’s eyes Wanting to survive Others have cried in defeat But it’s impossible to beat the will To stay alive And keep the fire lit Like a bird, we grew wings to glide Building dams, we have turned the tide Stopped abiding by nature’s ties Now we rise beyond the skies Will we bring our own demise? In concrete cages Writing history’s pages Throughout the ages We all belong In concrete cages There’s a fire that rages And it’s contagious To move along In concrete cages... the fire rages This is a sign on the wall Of a skyscraper standing tall We have claimed it all Now we can shelter the weak We can find anything that we seek But we know if the land could speak It would cry for its barren and bleak The Earth is worn We left it torn I mourn for all the souls unborn Like a bird, we grew wings to glide Building dams, we have turned the tide Stopped abiding by nature’s ties Now we rise beyond the skies Will we bring our own demise? In concrete cages Writing history’s pages Throughout the ages We all belong In concrete cages There’s a fire that rages And it’s contagious To move along

Next to you I am small You get to have it all Power and full control Over me You’re looking down at me Deciding all alone Who you want me to be Over and over and over everyone you Think you own Forcing demands to put us in place Ruling us from your precious throne Never bothered to even see my face Can’t fight the anger (Can’t live this way, can’t walk away!) Can’t free the chain (Must I obey and act this way?) Can’t fight the anger (Can’t live this way, can’t walk away!) Can’t free the chain Can’t fight the anger Can’t free the chain From far under Speaking of infamy Oh, you’re the one to talk When you’re stepping on me Over and over ‘cause next to you I am small You get to have it all Power and full control Corrupting your own soul Can’t fight the anger (Can’t live this way, can’t walk away!) Can’t free the chain (Must I obey and act this way?) Can’t fight the anger (Can’t live this way, can’t walk away!) Can’t free the chain that binds everyone You think you own Forcing demands to put us in place Ruling us from your precious throne Never bothered to even see my face I never intended to be chained in your realm If I tried to run, you would overwhelm me Infinite greed leads to limitless pain You have taken all that was left to drain Can’t fight the anger (Can’t live this way, can’t walk away!) Can’t free the chain (Must I obey and act this way?) Can’t fight the anger (Can’t live this way, can’t walk away!) Can’t free the chain Can’t fight the anger Can’t free the chain From far under

Burn the chain Down Here under your vile rule I’m bound My freedom is nowhere to be found Why can’t I find a way out? Why won’t you let me go? Now I’m tied By shackles that you have left To bind me Trapped in your own self centered Mind you I am not freezing anymore For we lit a fire Burn the chain From far under We burn the chain In your cold realm we will not remain From far under We burn the chain To be set free once again From far under We burn the chain From far under To be set free once again Above us cold-hearted in your spire Now we have lit a raging fire Heat rises higher So beware, for our flame can burn you You are tied By shackles that you’ve created Bound to your own precious throne You’ll find That now and forever Stranger I am the face you’ll remember Burn the chain From far under We burn the chain In your cold realm we will not remain From far under We burn the chain To be set free once again From far under We burn the chain From far under To be set free once again We never intended to be chained in your realm But now that you locked us in your jail We became a troop, now we overwhelm Though our wills collide we will prevail On to the fight to burn your throne I don’t have to face you on my own (Never again) Never again will we be bound to your will ’Cause we freed the chain and while you’re Standing still We are rising up From far under We burn the chain In your cold realm we will not remain From far under We burn the chain To be set free once again

Run away with me to way back when We would walk outside, so innocent back then Now we trapped ourselves within four walls Sweating, on a treadmill Singing to empty halls Like a bird in a gilded cage Too tamed to feel the rage Like a knife through a beating heart This existence tears us apart Wish we could live in wooden huts The last alternative before my heart’s door shuts Wish we could live in wooden huts Glow can deceive But neon lights won’t heal the cuts Run away with me to wav back when We would push each other on a swing and sang in unison Now we shove each other just to get in line Trying to impress, to dress, to wine and dine Like a bird in a gilded cage Too tamed to feel the rage Like a knife through a beating heart This existence tears us apart Wish we could live in wooden huts The last alternative before my heart’s door shuts Wish we could live in wooden huts Glow can deceive But neon lights won’t heal the cuts Once we were free like a butterfly But we sold our wings to rent a lie (in concrete cages) Time to bid this concrete cage goodbye Or let our passion fade and die

Today I give it all I would cross the ocean To make your wishes come true Tomorrow I’ll be gone Today I hear your call Your will is my devotion Every single moment but then When midnight comes starts another day Tomorrow I will be gone away Today we dream together Hand in hand we gather Memories to pack when we go Tomorrow I'll be gone Today you dare not doubt What future is about What dreams will carry out In dead of night shines another day Tomorrow I will be on my way Crossing a thousand seas Towards over a million dreams I will sail on my own from now on Strangers we have become Wind will hit my sails Waves will push me forward While I will fight the storm Tomorrow I'll be gone Someday they'll tell my tales Of million dreams I pounced toward And conquered on my own When midnight comes starts another day Tomorrow I will be gone away In dead of night shines another day Tomorrow I will be on my way Crossing a thousand seas Towards over a million dreams I will sail on my own from now on Strangers we have become

You waste your days in vain And wait for night to fall To finally feast again On the inner depths of your soul Sipping wine from the veins of dreams Running far from the choir of screams Surrendering to the highs, the twists, the turns Waking up with a dim, grey mind 'Til the quiet of night returns Though the scenes leave you numb and blind Your heart still yearns To hide You’re falling deep into a trance To leave the world behind You run away in every chance Addicted to your mind Hours passing by, way deep into the night Wishing that you'll come back home Whenever you depart Days of wait, and I am here, still holding tight Every time you run away you're tearing us apart Sipping wine from the veins of dreams Running far from the choir of screams Surrendering to the highs, the twists, the turns Waking up with a dim, grey mind 'Til the quiet of night returns Though the scenes leave you numb and blind Your heart still yearns To hide You’re falling deep into a trance To leave the world behind You run away in every chance Addicted to your mind Once again I hear you scream Sipping wine from the veins of dreams Wake up, see that I'm still here, all yours Though the quiet of night returns Don't be blind to the ones you leave behind Confined To what you have defined As peace of mind

Under colorless skies I’m standing alone Wondering why this street changed its tone I am looking across at the spot That I’ll never forget Where we first met If I go, will you still be a stranger? Don’t fade away into the mist If I go, will you still be a stranger? In my heart you’ll always be missed Over bright summer days we painted a dream Fell in a haze of a fantasy scheme Now fall has come bringing freezing nights Fading colors away Please, make them stay If I go, will you still be a stranger? Don’t fade away into the mist If I go, will you still be a stranger? In my heart you’ll always be missed And as our memories fade, the city turns grey The sky threatens to cry And wash all the colors away Will you leave me alone In the gold of the winter? If I go, will you still be a stranger? Don’t fade away into the mist When I go, will you still be a stranger? In my heart you’ll always exist Why are we strangers? Must we be strangers? (If I go) Why are we strangers? Must we be strangers? (If I go...) If I go, will you still be a stranger? Don’t fade away into the mist If I go, will you still be a stranger? In my heart you’ll always be missed
