The Days of Grays
Tonight my life will lack it's meaning One final step before we're seeing... For once I am happy my little friend Cannot comprehend what we are seeing No words are needed, only a gaze, embrace... Contact the living, remember the dead... There is always something to learn Repetition proves it's worth Without those moments, we would not remember It's not fair, it's not fair, there was time now... Kneeling down, take in the moment when Everything becomes finally clear It's not fair to lose it And how... there was time now But Death is cheating us somehow Come here now... Can't walk away, nothing to say No need to feel so afraid Colors last a lifetime 'n fade to gray... It's not fair, it's not fair, there was time now... Kneeling down, take in the moment when Everything becomes finally clear It's not fair to lose it And how... there was time now But Death is cheating us somehow ...And he's already here "When it all ends..." When everything fades to gray We dive into the darkness Some things are needless to say... Somethings are needless to say We dive into the darkness When everything fades to gray... When everything fades to gray We dive into the darkness Some things are needless to say... Somethings are needless to say We dive into the darkness When everything fades to gray...

I: The Premonition "Remember when I told you, how my kin is different in some ways? And how you should not fall in love, with someone like me, anyway. Between the lines, people see signs. When they feel the sear, every day's fear. And one night their torches find the girl without a name. And the one who has her love is no more safe. And until I get my peace, I'm but a shade..." II: The Witch-hunt The sun lit the White Mountain's snow covered peaks. There I see you, amongst the good people suffering. "She is the one, the unwanted, decidedly so, because she makes our children cry. It's a fact, she is exactly that! A harbinger of Death, from the world of witchcraft! And she's feeding them cakes, and her ale to this innocent boy. And her magic brings dismay." III: Exposing The Heathen "I hear her in the wind, the bane of our town. Come with me, father! I'm to expose a heathen." In my home town, no one's safe now. Young love's been forbidden, for five-fold kisses. My only love had to die. IV: Envy "Your crops are all flourishing, so what's the catch? I know what you are, the new evil unhatched. As sure as the dawn, they will hear what I know! And recognize you, and you'll be cleansed too." V: The Fear For the good, trusting people in town, in their fear stricken hearts, seeing skyclad's a sign like the Deathaura. Every night, so painful's the memory, of love in the dark. One wheel of the year, ends their short lives in fear. "I hear her in the wind, the bane of our town. Come with me, father! The heathen is exposed." VI: The Grudge In the age of burning times, you saved my life. The blaze grew ever higher. I was your cunning man, hiding in the light. Now your land shall go sour. Your own fears will destroy everything. Envy consumes all and "thou shall not!" Though it hurts, I must tell you: "I am truly the one behind it all." VII: The Curse In the hands of time we all will die. The dead of the night will devour your child. The creation of beliefs you've been fed, the fear, the unknown, the poison loved by Death. VIII: The Flames In the cool of the night air, flames purify minds, where almost anyone could be the next. "Unless morning finds all of them somehow, hexed." IX: Endless Inquisition -Instrumental- X: ...Together, Today, For All Eternity "I remember how you told me, your kin's different on that sunny day? You made me smile, because I was just about, to say the same thing." So deeply entwined, love of a lifetime. But they paid someone to say, their torment has a name. And after all these years, we get to be together for all eternity.

The mystery of Death before us. Soon every night can bring the light, and close my eyes. Sometimes life in here is too limited. Sometimes we don't care at all. Sometimes... Time will change the familiar face, brightest colors fade to gray. The fear is real, one winter's day brings the clarity. I feel the time is catching up with us. How many days until its hunger is satisfied? Leaving the final golden days, we are the last amazing grays. Hoping the young will lead the pack now. I can feel my heart is beating, still. I can see you with my eyes, I still see. But I can't run the way my children can. Can't accept the helping hand, leave me. You are the strong one, trust in me! You must lead instead of me, now. There's no time, don't hesitate, or you will also find your fate. I feel the time is catching up with us. How many days until its hunger is satisfied? Leaving the final golden days, we are the last amazing grays. Hoping the young will lead the pack now. In the eyes of every newborn, I see the future. Life is just a phase! I close my eyes and see them, all here beside me. The last amazing grays. In the eyes of every newborn, I see the past times. A familiar face! I close my eyes and see them, waiting for me amongst the amazing grays. Mountain seems to befall this last time. Marking the moment, I have found my place. I closed my eyes and joined them, guarding the young amongst the amazing grays.

Prolouge: "In the days when lands were few, and man sometimes had no chance but sell his soul, to his landlord to make a living. In far and away country, they gave acres of land away for free, to all able to claim it. Ships sailed across the great seas, fortunes were made and dreams shattered. Sometimes couples were torn apart, for all they could afford was one ticket." Leaving my life behind, my young Love and the unborn. Only have a lock of her hair, and burning love inside. After forty work-filled days and sleepless nights, the sails are lit by the lights of Boston! And here we go, off the ship! Towards the adventure, the one to define our lives. Daily grind and a tiny room. I got here safe, Love. I have an address until spring, then I shall race for the land. Hope to hear from you soon. Her letter reads... "Please let me know everything's alright! Thinking about you 'though you're out of sight. Every night when I'm turning in, my tears find me. Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me!" Now that I have made the dollars we need for the dream. The best horse I've ever seen, a carriage and everything I need. I will make my way to the great unknown, every moment I wish you were here with me now. "Please let me know everything's alright! Thinking about you 'though you're out of sight. Every night when I'm turning in, my tears find me. Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me!" No, I'm not a stranger, among the people in here. Yet I have never felt so alone. At high noon the sound will boom, and I will start racing for the land, we can call home. I stuck my flag in the ground, screaming and shouting. I've never felt so proud, Love! We are free from eternal serfdom, I'm gonna bring you home, my light! Nine, eight, seven, six, counting the days. Five, four, three, two, together forever! I made my way into the great unknown. Land by the river and a new built home. I am the land and the land is me. Freedom is everything and we are free. I made my way into the great unknown. Land by the river and a new built home. Every night when I'm looking at the full moon rising, I hold you and know that we are free.

I take my hat off, bow before the greatness. You're so much braver I'd give you credit for. Somehow the Grays create a harmony, and no color can add a flavor. I've started to feel like... I know the face, familiar stranger. I'm not a child, I feel misunderstood. I built a bridge, you use the tunnel now. The rope we are pulling is slipping away from me. All this wasted time is killing me, and I've started to feel like... I can not control my life anymore, feel a need to leave and breathe on my own. I remember all the broken songs of our life. Maybe one more wrong will make it all right. I just really need to be alone now.

Dancing on the borderline... Four, three, two, one! Hello, although I'm a static zero. I'm fighting all your wars, while you dwell in your hypocrisy. You think the world is fine, when all the evil's overlined, before you wake up this morning. Well hello, you're the local superhero? Your stronghold's but a paper bag, we suffer for your promised land. Excuse is really thin, hide your revealed Achilles heel! Before a brave new morning. All you little superheroes, fall short without all them zeroes. A pie in the sky is your brave new world, and so powerless are thy miracles... Once they walk before, the rows of O's. And soon it dawns on them, how to make billions. Dream up a world, how powerless are thy miracles. I'm so tired to fight you! The sun is so desperate to set tonight, ashamed to light a lie! All you little superheroes, fall short without all them zeroes. A pie in the sky is your brave new world. Your homestead's not yours much longer! These people win elections, empowered by you! These wars are never ending, acceptance just mind-bending. It's a conspiracy, and as always the end is here. We were born that day. this destiny wrote us a life, we now waste away. Waste it away, do it today! My life is fine! So why would I care, because it's not my ass, per se, on the line. All you little superheroes, fall short without all them zeroes. A pie in the sky is your brave new world. All you little superheroes, fall short without all them zeroes. A pie in the sky is your brave new world. Dancing on the borderline... Four, three, two, one! Do it today!

It's me I hate, not you at all. I am my own medicine, turned into a poison. I think I gave you a lot, and not enough, I know. Tortured myself, same as you, without losing my sanity. Where's my applause? I see no reason, to live in Hell. How can life, make me feel so incomplete? I had a weakness and my walls came down, my tears won't reach the ground. Burn my new wound! I know I cannot feel, regret for anything. If I was numb, I'd end this once and for all. I feel the burn, still. I cannot face this day, my guards are down. I cannot love myself, weak and sad clown. I see myself, my fading color. I see no hope there, where I always used to. I fear your words, the things they mirror. Maybe that is all I am, just a reflection, please help me. I see no reason, to live in Hell. When you smile, you make me feel incomplete. But it's all ending, the clock's rewinding. We don't mean anything to me, you think? I killed this silence for us, to make things right. The words are loaded. Once connected, one torso, one head. One solid reason, the pain! If love's the neck, kept us together and apart. Now it's broken! There is no cast, no real salvation. When it is broken, it will stay that way. Believe me when I say this, I would not if I did not care. Tears don't mean anything, if we don't know when we're sorry. No one will win today, we can't play this game this way. We cannot soar, and still stay on the ground. Don't wanna see me, hear me, hate me. Hate... Jealousy's a phantom, something that was never, ever meant to find me. But now its pale green eyes, have destroyed everything. You know how it must hurt, and I know there is nothing, you've done to deserve this. Apology's a policy, Sometimes it really has to be, it's kept me afloat thus far. This sure enoughs one nice loose noose. Perfect times, are we happy in this Hell? Is there someone who can measure, whose pain is bigger? It all has ended, the clock's rewinded. We don't mean anything to me, you think? I killed this silence, for you to end the night. The words are loaded. Unprotected, one torso, no head. One valid reason, the life's suspended. If love's the neck, that kept us together and apart. Now it's broken! There's no cast, no real solution. When it is broken, it will stay that way. Believe me when I say this, I would not if I did not care. Who needs who, when and what the Hell for? Who wants to suffer and be hardcore? And who's strong enough to peel off the dead skin? I cannot face this day, my guards are down.

These are my final lines, I've lived all my nine lives. My nights are over, cannot feel your heart anymore. I lived only trough you. My scar, my heart, my truth. I do not want to die, but no more can I love you! How hard it is to understand, my wish to die hand in hand. This night's like a dream, you will be the last thing I will see. I hold your hand and close my eyes, all I love finally dies. Drank the poison most foul with you, but why do you smile? Don't smile, don't you smile! You're supposed to wither away with me! So Juliette, please don't smile. I'm paralysed and you are still alive. Life is but a long sad game! Drifting souls, avoiding shame. Two dead swans is all what we need, to pave the winding memory lane. No hellos, no bad goodbyes. Wailing distant, silent cries. You can live with my pain, it's your own you cannot take. You played the game and lost, I wonder how you can, hold the cards for a dead man. The light and the clarity. Welcome change for the life in the darkness, sea of my sanity. Lost in the vanity. All I ever wanted was to be lost in you. My burden, the hatred. My own reality, mirrors and smoke. The final truth unfolds! Your reality mirrors my hopes, Where you will need me. They never find us again, once the trail has gone cold. They never find us again, once the trail has gone cold. I'm a restless soul, I'll make the best ghost. All things good end into a... Minute of silence, I get myself in line. One minute of silence, to face my own demise. One minute of silence, this is not what I signed for. One minute of silence, you double-crossing, filthy whore. I sit with someone in the dark, so afraid to see it's me again. You had a change of heart, now we're all getting hurt. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my life again. Walk with me every curve, every bend. This promenade that seems to come to an end. You know what you meant to me, emptied the room in your life that I paid for. When I lost my sanity, I made a mess, I am now here to clean. It is too late to regret anything tonight. After what has come to light, you have played me for a fool, for all this time? The story may rewrite itself after I'm gone. One more breath, the day will dawn! How hard it is to understand, my wish to die hand in hand. These wounds stay open all night long, you are the last thing I will see. I lived only by you! My scar, my heart, my truth. My sole reason to die, there's no life without you. These are my final lines, I've used all my nine lives. My life is over, cannot feel your heart anymore. I lived only by you! My scar, my heart, my truth. Have no reason to live, I can't feel the love anymore. This is the end. Why? You're closing my eyes...

My dream, it seems, fails to see the mornings. My one and only aim. I hear you breathe, I'm not alone in the darkness. I feel something on my lips I should not. One too many poison kisses, and I'm drowning in the deepest sea. I found my destiny, something I'm here for. I'm knocking on my heaven's door. One day we will, run out of tomorrows. And yesterday's become, the stuff our dreams are made of. Until today I lived in the shadow world. Now heart is speaking, brain's defeated, independent thought deleted. One too many poison kisses, and I'm drowning in the deepest sea. I found my destiny, something I'm here for. I'm knocking on my heaven's door. And the map to find my sleepin wishes, is hidden where I cannot see. When I'm awake I need your poison kisses, to fall back in a living dream. "Why do you fear to long for my love, please be strong. If your heart can hear a song, you can't go wrong. So repose your trust in me, save this love, live and see. If the life beyond this dream is what you seek. Fill your deepest wishes. Come, take my poison kisses. Life is too short, this golden hour last for a lifetime." Give me your poison kiss. Now come night, I need my sleeping wish. Help me dream again somehow, kiss me now. With your poisoned lips. Oh come night, I want my missing wish. Help me get one kiss somehow, hold me now. No dream can heal a broken heart, when we're apart on the sea of wishes. My dream that no one misses, tears me apart always somehow.

Started a dangerous game that's not won, by the person who made the first move. Chose to be targeted by all those eyes. And now, some of you think I'm a fool. I guess I am guilty, I'm only a man. But this world is imperfect too, but that just has to do... I chose not to hear what the smart people said, and instead played my cards like a fool. Every day took a chance to get caught in the fire, these flames do not burn like I do. I wait in line to be hung by the neck, until everyone sees I'm right. I need to have my chains removed, and hide here while the spotlight's seeking me. Forget the world for now, my Love! Live these days with me, as if the world wasn't ending. As if the world wasn't ending. As if the world wasn't ending. Masks removed we hide here, while the spotlight's seeking me. Forget the world for now, my Love. Live these days with me, as if the world wasn't ending. Take me where I cannot hear, the people calling me. Pour Whisky, Brandy, Vodka, Come and live this night with me. As if the world wasn't ending...

Now I am crawling in my crawling skin. I can't wake up anymore, can't find the door. I try to make a deal with myself, to avoid the blinding door once again. Here we go! The party's over, the flies are back. Unexplained, nean and bad. The deepest wound, still no scab. Full HD sci-fi scream. The time is out, mind is clean. It's blank, I'm missing a little time. I found a truth beneath the lie! Buried deep, explain me why. The world is upside down. I do not know a soul in here, but I can remember the faces. The truth is in their eyes. Everything's mixed with gray, say good night and welcome the day. cannot see hues, so that is why the grays wear green? I don't like this state of mind. I can see, but I can't find it. Horrified to see what, the following two days will bring. Can I trust my own eyes? Is that me in disguise? Is this bliss or am I insane? Found the thin red line of madness, far from the Skyland Mountain. I found a truth beneath the lie! Buried deep, explain me why. The world is upside down. I do not know a soul in here, but I can remember the faces. The truth is in their eyes. Don't really want to know, don't really want to go out there. I feel hypnotized, the truth is somewhere. Wake up, I only want to wake up! Don't wanna fall asleep, but I'm already dreaming. I feel my skin is peeling off. What I've been concealing? Something underneath... My crawling skin, my crawling skin. I can't wake up anymore, not anymore. I've seen how this will end, it will end. Don't want to soak anymore. The truth is out there, somewhere between two fairy tales. Caught somewhere deep, between someone's truth and a lie. Another really rainy morning, it's a perfect day. I'm too tired to be hypnotized now, it's all to real for me anyway. Wake up, I only want to wake up! Don't wanna fall asleep, but I'm already dreaming. I feel my skin is peeling off. What I've been concealing? Something underneath my crawling skin!
Tonight my life will lack it's meaning, one final step before we're seeing. For once I am happy my, little friend, cannot comprehend what we are seeing. No words are needed! Only a gaze, embrace. Contact the living, remember the dead. There is always something to learn, repetition proves it's worth. Without those moments, we would not remember. It's not fair, it's not fair! there was a time now, kneeling down. Take in the moment, when everything becomes finally clear. It's not fair to lose it, and how there was a time now. But Death is cheating us somehow! Come here now! Can't walk away, nothing to say. No need to feel so afraid, colors last a lifetime and fade to gray. It's not fair, it's not fair! there was a time now, kneeling down. Take in the moment, when everything becomes finally clear. It's not fair to lose it, and how there was a time now. Death is cheating us somehow, and he's already here! When it all ends! When everything fades to gray, we dive into the darkness. Some things are needless to say. Somethings are needless to say, we dive into the darkness. When everything fades to gray!
