The Shadow Self

You’re not alone below the moon All of us wait, for moment’s gone too soon You and me, breathe, to ignore the reason Freedom Scream again Inside of me, doors will stay open A thousand lives to live Waiting like universes still without an end Love break into my innocence Innocence, innocence, innocence, innocence... Innocence Stay close to me Everything you knew Left with the wind In times like this we do You and me, breathe, to ignore the feeling Freedom Scream again Inside of me, doors will stay open A thousand lives to live Waiting like universes still without an end Love break into my innocence Innocence, innocence, innocence, innocence... Innocence Inside of me, doors will stay open A thousand lives to live Waiting like universes still without an end Love break into my innocence Innocence, innocence, innocence, innocence... Innocence Innocence, innocence, innocence, innocence... Innocence...

Endless My war to reason Falling to pieces When I could see now I don’t understand Empty My fears of treason Trying to blind me The brightest void is sucking me in Like a million geysers still asleep (still asleep) Demons in you Lost in the light Eternal seek of paradise Scared to lose the fight with what’s in me Found another side The darkest thoughts, the deepest sea Where sun and moon arise – it’s me Chaos In isolation Your only truth What we can hear no one can understand Madness In desperation A burst of anger The shadow self is taking over Like a million geysers still asleep (still asleep) Demons in you Lost in the light Eternal seek of paradise Scared to lose the fight with what’s in me Found another side The darkest thoughts, the deepest sea Where sun and moon arise – it’s me (Oh... oh... oh...) Oh... Lost in the light Eternal seek of Paradise Scared to lose the fight with what’s in me Found another side The darkest thoughts, the deepest sea Where sun and moon arise – it’s me Oh...

There’s a road for everyone ‘Cause every heart’s the same To forgive what you have done A silent wish for a change Desire is a flame alive When dreams are far away Open up your inner eye Let hope save the day She will fall all over you Like a rain, shine the new And will make the path for you to take Till to the end, walk you through Time won’t wait Lead your fate Never let go... Blackout the sun Light nowhere Tell me you don’t need it anymore No bitter end Hold on, don’t run Forever still yourself The one that you defend No bitter end Suddenly, mysteriously How brave worlds are born They cut away of misery For hearts to find home To be there with all you need And nothing left to prove Take a chance, oh, but never leave Know it all starts with you Time won’t wait Lead your fate Never let go... Blackout the sun Light nowhere Tell me you don’t need it anymore No bitter end Hold on, don’t run Forever still yourself The one that you defend No bitter end There’s a road for everyone ‘Cause every heart’s the same To forgive what you have done A silent wish for a change Blackout the sun Hold on, don’t run Blackout the sun Light nowhere Tell me you don’t need it anymore No bitter end Hold on, don’t run Forever still yourself The one that you defend No bitter end

Made of stone Behind the walls A heart afraid of breaking Shades of fear Stained your life A child afraid of waking Numb within The sadness won't find you No return No way home You're burning all the bridges Stories told I've read your book Where anger writes the pages Search within The empty words The answers you'll find at the end Who do you think you are? I gave you the stars You made them fall from the sky, So this is my goodbye Ahhhhh Swimming in the scarlet rain Far away Far away Ahhhhh Embracing a thousand blades Flies away Far away Break the cage, run against the flames Distrust and bitterness It dies today Lose your rage, save what still remains Despair and loneliness Why you love to hate? Washed the pain, Time in vain Thinking of tomorrow Dust of shame No more rain Brush away my sorrow

Wake to see, your true emancipation is a fantasy Policies have risen up and overcome the brave Greatness dies unsung and lost, invisible to history Embedded spies brainwashing our children to be mean You don’t have long, I am on to you The time it has come to destroy... your supremacy... You don’t have long, I am on to you The time it has come to destroy... your supremacy... Supremacy... Oh...

Ah... is the song that’s forever? Ah... there’s no need to surrender Here with you now Lights in the air, devoted No yesterday Dying to live this moment Growing stronger Taking over Truth in your eyes See through my heart, it’s open Make me believe Gives life to the path I’ve chosen Blind desire Reaching higher It’s the song that’s forever in the flame within The living end There’s no need to surrender, I will sing with it The living end Sounds like colors raining down Burning up the night... It’s the song that’s forever in the flame within The living end There’s no need to surrender, I will sing with it The living end It’s the song that’s forever in the flame within The living end There’s no need to surrender, I will sing with it The living end The living end

We can laugh at it now I don’t mind all the burning daggers Piercing me, shaping me Turning the blade on you I revealed my escape Sweetest mutiny, ship was sinking Deeper and deeper and deeper on top of you Oh, how does it feel? Now when there’s no way out You married your own hell Couldn’t get out of your own mind... Now I have the key Out of the downwards spiraling conspiracy Just look at me Just look at Diva, Diva, Diva, Diva When you chiseled your scene So delusional, almost got me Started to question my sanity ‘cause of you I’ve been tasting the salt Couldn’t stand all the rats on board I walked down the plank as the curtains fell down on you Oh, how does it feel? Now when there’s no way out You married your own hell Couldn’t get out of your own mind... Now I have the key Out of the downwards spiraling conspiracy Just look at me Just look at Diva, Diva, Diva, Diva Just look at Diva, Diva, Diva, Diva – Is this garbage bag big enough? – Not sure about it. – How much we got? – Not sure about it. – Hey! No beer, no show! – Should we check some page instead? – Hah, I prefer to play here naked with you. – Why is all vodka gone? Where is my vodka? Oh, how does it feel? Now when there’s no way out You married your own hell Couldn’t get out of your own mind... Now I have the key Out of the downwards spiraling conspiracy Just look at me Just look at Diva, Diva, Diva, Diva Just look at Diva, Diva, Diva, Diva Just look at Diva, Diva, Diva, Diva

I’ve been to the end of earth, the waters, end of sky I’ve circled the mountains, the forests Across the nights Over the land that I have seen Where the wind swept my heart clean I found the way to feel alive Leaving behind your eagle eye Love like a dance in fire untamed, blazing high The power to dwell as one, unchained, will not die When you have burned so deep within? Rest the ashes, then begin I found a way to feel alive (to feel alive) Leaving behind your eagle eye (your eagle eye) Over the land that we have seen Where the winds swept our hearts clean When we have burned so deep within Rest the ashes, then begin Eagle eye ... (Over the land that we have seen) (Where the winds swept our hearts clean) (When we have burned so deep within?) (Rest the ashes, then begin) (...) Your eagle eye ...

Bring out your dead I'll bury them all Leave them with me Dress them in silk Black as the night Where no one can see Paint them with dirt Shallow their graves Silent their names Swallowed by Earth Written in dust Killing the fame How did they die? Oh, the despair So many lost Original sin Gone in thin air That is the cost No one recalls All that is left Nameless farewell Minding the fall Cover the theft Welcome to Hell Meet your maker, ring your bells in vain Undertaker, I am why you came Feed your life with every need you have And down below, forever, oh, how sad Covered in thorns Knocking the wood Scratching the lid Legends are born Without fine jewels Here I forbid Walk amongst you Sing to you sweet Dark lullabies Giving you rest Tainting your dreams Cover your eyes Meet your maker, ring your bells in vain Undertaker, I am why you came Feed your life with every need you have And down below, forever Meet your maker, ring your bells in vain Undertaker, I am why you came Feed your life with every need you have And down below, forever, oh, so sad

See the world as one Find what grows from stone Roam our circles, come home On my ocean, are you shadowing me? Breaking the surface to connect again For a moment, I can feel what you feel So clear and I am with you again In my air, I feel you covering me Out of trust, you gave the power to them And if only they could see what you see Wind and love, never hide Into the sky One more Stand for Freedom Calling from the wild side For life Reason There’s no life without a dream No power strong enough to hold it back In a never ending stream See the world as one Listen to the call and stand for one more! One more! One more! From my trees I know you’re following me Through the wind I hear you speaking of love And a message that I want to believe That we forgot and now I’m with you again Wind and love never hide into the sky One more! One more! There’s no life without a dream No power strong enough to hold it back In a never ending stream See the world as one Listen to the call and stand for one more! One more! ...

Many, too many Living their fears Only few won’t fade away Not too many Facing their tears When sunrise outshines the grey She couldn’t see the world within her hands So beautiful No one could hear the silence calling her Missed forever, wonder why Close and far, as you and I Like ice flowers trapped in time What if I could rescue us? If I could fight back life Break my pride for a moment in time Many, too many Living their fears Only few won’t fade away Not too many Facing their tears When sunrise outshines the grey He couldn’t heal the broken memories A sacrifice No one could read the silence in his eyes Just a canvas in the sky Perfect sunset long denied Spirit’s flying Birds that cease their wanderlust fall What if I could rescue us? If I could fight back life Break my pride for a moment in time I could reach the sun I could touch the stars And you’d stay for a moment in time (Many, too many) (Living their fears) (Only few won’t fade away) (Not too many) (Facing their tears) (When sunrise outshines the grey) (...) Oh... Oh... Too many Ah... too many Too many, ah... Oh...
