These frantic memories They bring me down, tormenting peace The darkness drowns me I'm restless without sleep When day breaks, I'm still awake, I recall my mistakes I'll be never alone, never again, never alone, I'll be never alone, never again, never alone... When all my hope is gone, I'm waiting for the dawn I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark I've left my past behind I'm reaching for the light I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine. I'll make my way through the darkest hours of my days! Those frozen memories Laid out for me, all I can see The night surrounds me Destroying harmony What lies beneath, demising me? I've lost my purity I'll be never alone, never again, never alone, I'll be never alone, never again, never alone... When all my hope is gone, I'm waiting for the dawn I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark I've left my past behind I'm reaching for the light I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine. I'll make my way through the darkest hours of my days! [Solo] When all my hope is gone, I'm waiting for the dawn I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark I've left my past behind I'm reaching for the light I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.

The wind is blowing There's ashes in the air The heat is flowing You stare in despair Hear the warning The times are changing fast The Earth is crying With a thundering blast Hear the ground speaking The powers unknown, a release The ground's speaking The freezing past Wheel of the night A shelter from light The skies are burning Wheel of the night Hide from the light The winds are burning You're under flaming skies The sacred fire Is spreading, destroying all The exploding spire Will finally fall Hear the ground speaking The powers unknown, a release The ground's speaking The freezing past Wheel of the night, the skies are burning Wheel of the night, the winds are burning You're under flaming skies

You faded away And woe is all that remains And I have gone astray My mind full of theory and states I'm carrying a seed of insanity A burden of faded memories Delusion, destruction, Salvation Go on without saying Hate in this creed Awareness so numb this time Underneath the skin You're still drooling in And what I've come to find A state of mind I need to find A way to carry it For my soul will once again be free But first I need to bare it instead: Infernal Maze I'm lost within an internal game Infernal Maze The demons are calling out your name Infernal Maze. Infernal Maze These demons, these demons, Haunting me, Infernal Maze! Infernal Maze! Infernal Maze.

I thought I could not find Someone who's so alike The way you think, I feel it in my heart It is so hard to see What's happening to me Two souls united that can't be apart All these lonely nights and days Let me start Waiting for a light, this feeling I have been denied, I'm redeeming Heavenly divine, awareness purified I make it through the night, am I dreaming? Waiting for a sign, I've seen it Heavenly divine, so fairness will finally Be justified! If there's a past life I know you've been all mine You are forever the one divine All these lonely nights and days Let me start I watch you when you sleep And listen as you breathe I'm close to you and keep you warm

Crocodile tears from industrial giants, Apologies counting for nothing! Graveyard obssessions and shallow confessions, The game never ends in a draw. An eternal horizon that reaches the sky When we're standing together, we cannot ever die And we're chasing the darkness away without cry, Never die, never die, We never die. Fragile and cold by the side of a mountain, Big hopelessness bearing to promise, Brothers and sisters of metal together We'll conquer the evil as one.

From the dark, I watch you go away I will never see you, again... Every passing day prolongs my pain I am slowly fading, into the void... Fades without a sound, A sound that no one cares to hear A second round to live your life Just passed away! Moment in a lifetime Lifetime in a moment Seize the day, don't let it slip, away... Cherish every moment, before it's gone... Fades without a sound A sound that no one cares to hear A second round to live your life Just passed away! Moment in a lifetime Lifetime in a moment Moment in a lifetime Lifetime in a moment Moment in a lifetime Lifetime in a moment

Would you move the mountain Would you build that tower Would you drink the sunshine Like a wilted flower Would you waste that hour If you knew this full moon would be, the last one you'd see Or would you gaze in wonder While the world was turning While the moon made quiet All the years of yearning Would the flame keep burning If you knew the powers that be, would set you free Donno why you had to go In the stormy night a flame in the darkness And we'll never really know If you'll ever see me again Swam around in circles In the angry ocean And your dream of safety Just a lost emotion Could a faded notion Make you find your way back to shore, looking for more So we head for safety But we never get there And I brush the shadows From your scary nightmare On the road to nowhere Would you help me carry my cross, and set me free

Standing outside in darkness My breath is steaming The skies open wide I hear the silent screaming Deep in the dark, somewhere in space Spinning around, leaving no trace Nothing escapes And the boundaries been breached All matter and shape Destination's reached! The star dies, collaping in its core End of the journey, it won't be seen anymore! I can see the point of no return And when the light is slowly turning to red Life gives away, there's no concern A force that carries the event horizon lies ahead!

I've never felt like this before Am I awake? Am I drifting? There's a hole in the sky! Am I alive? Did I survive? Broken pictures on my wall A story of fallen heroes Now stare ahead with their blind eyes on A lost horizon Sometimes the dream is sublime with you I feel in my mind in heaven I'm reaching this feeling It's misleading me away from you Tonight, I find what I've been searching for To go look for my wings once more I'm not afraid anymore I'm not afraid anymore Sometimes the dream is sublime with you I feel in my mind in heaven I am ready to fall I'm not afraid anymore I am lying on the frozen ground alone I got lost on my way, my time is up I'm gone! I need to find the key To eternal life and see The joy, the smile, The overwhelming love of God Is what I need! Give me a sign, and show me the way To the sacred place! I can hear you calling my name From the distant skies I am holding (a) falling angel In my arms Your shadow lurking in the corner of my eye I'm losing sense of what's real and what's a lie! I need to find the key To eternal life and see The joy, the smile, The overwhelming love of God Is what I need! Give me a sign, and show me the way To the sacred place! Eternal calling at your fame was not mine Remedy this falling lie! I feel it burning with me ahead The earth is turning to red I'm staring at the flaming skies To try not to fight A chance (to) close my eyes I am holding a falling angel in my arms This life has been too long There's hope everywhere I go Do you believe in hope and faith Or eternity? In the end, you will see Let thy soul be free Eternal light Blinded my eyes Pain and sorrow Joy will follow Now in turn Elysium Do you beleive in hope and faith Or eternity? In the end, you will see Let your soul be free Be afraid no more, Just take my hand, I'll guide you through the storm We're finally home We're finally home

I've been lost far too long Need to find my way back home Dig a hole and hide inside Live to see the morning break Just a wayward soul Played the last card, lost it all all is gone, but one remains In your hands I place my life Take me in Wash away the sin Make me whole again In your sanctuary Hide away I'm your castaway Let me fall a sleep Wake up to a brighter day

Once again I try to make things work Facing all the power of society Searching all the answers of the life I'll never make it on my own Was I meant to fail every time? Seems to me that's my destiny Is this all that's left to me Confusion and bad memories But now my time has come No more running in the dark I want much more than this I really want it all Against the wind we run To every place under the sun We've got so much power inside We will nevеr give up Against the wind we go Towards thе new shore Together we'll forget the sorrow It's forever gone

Again I see you standing there watching me Your gaze, those eyes are tantalizing openly Inviting me to get close to you Can´t help myself There´s fascination in the air I try to fight this strong sensation But there´s no chance to escape from this temptation Feels like I´ve known you before Repeating phrases But I yearn for something more I know I can´t stay by your side forever But I know I won´t forget your beauty My black diamond Black Diamond
