Silent screaming words Offering our lives a way A perfect smile for all to see Lingers everywhere Travels where horizons blend A grand design to hold as true Strangers gazing west Faceless shadows on a screen A distant comfort, silent cries Death is just a word Stripped from meaning long ago All that's near we hold as dear Love is their disease Beyond a cure they gloat in sin All the while they die Color taints their mind Their savage hearts for us to see Our kinds roam different lands Breathe... just breathe... close your eyes a while Stillness lies buried within your own mind (Air... Breathe... Life...) (Air... Breathe... Life...) She's drowning now, her life is swept away (Air... Breathe... Life...) (Air... Breathe... Life...) All silent now, her body in decay Take a moment now, time to make a choice Past soon turns into a faded memory We've gone too far, let go See the weight of lunacy fall to the ground Candle flames have turned into a raging fire By winds put to words Well of reasoning, calling for discovery To flush sins of our deeds away... Breathe... just breathe... close your eyes a while Stillness lies buried within your own mind Upon this hollow ground we need to start again Bridge infernal depths, rebuild the realms we kept Fight the urge to hide, find the vows that died Upon this hollow ground we need to start again Eyes upon the world beyond illusive screens Now the blood red sky cries for reasons why

Wide awake I am Endlessly drifting Weightless... heavily This world all you are Arrested conformity Turning endlessly I watch myself travel by All we are has never been Cycles everything Trivial mind, escaping time Fighting for a definite end Conform me again I am you... I am you... I am you... I am you... Back inside the wheel in time Never to revert outside... Externally Back inside the wheel in time Never to revert outside... Externally There's no way out This spiral of monotony You cannot deny me Because I am you

Turned around and you were gone In spite of our promises Shadows scattered by your hand Linger just down the hall Silently I'm suffocating in this void of yours Grasping life, remembering how you Made me feel alive Crying in silence, all out of words Fire embraced all I was, all I saw Burned me from inside Leaving nothing but this pile of ash Heard you laughed the other day Echoes of our hollow memories Guess I know that time will heal all the wounds Barely leaving scars Healing in silence, all out of words Fire embraced all I was, all I saw Burned me from inside Leaving nothing but this pile of ash Rising from a fertile ground All I was I'm sure I will become again Smiling in silence, I'm holding back the words The fire embraced all I was, all I saw It burned me from inside Nurturing the ground I died upon Finally I see through the shroud I'm finding air despite the void The fire of you, the ashes of me... They set me free...

All is gray, the sun has died No wind today, my breath aside Our last goodbye, you turned into A poisoned lie, I could not see through Jaded hearts, fading beats A life apart, a grand old start Pouring rain followed him Filled with pain from his domain As I lie alone tonight The sky allures in white And I fly into the unknown void of silence Leave the cries behind, I am free... 'Til I wake from my dream Tonight I'll be there by my window Watching the people below So many stories of sorrow So many endings to know How come that I feel so alone And that all that I see is my pain? No one's there as I'm falling A dying glare sees me crawling Falling in love is the reason I live and I die I wait... in silence I will rebuild my strength Time goes by so fast My love, we're now a memory A memory I'll always keep safe Moments in time look like raindrops that fall On a windshield that travels a rainy night Let it rain... As I lie alone tonight Leave the cries behind, I am free... 'Til I wake from my dream Tonight I'll be there by my window Watching the people below So many stories of sorrow So many endings to know How come that I feel so alone And that all that I see is my pain? Millions are those who have spoken Millions are those left unheard Looking for that which was broken Something not found in a word How come that you seem so alone Though you tell them he comforts your pain?

The reality of all I imagined Was all of a sudden so obvious and so damn vigorous The chains that kept me at bay all those years They were lifted and ultimately destroyed I'd been saved by the one For better or worse, through sickness and health Burden of her devotion There 'til the end, death do us part Devoured by her emotions Trapped in a running wheel We ran towards something we would never reach Still bound by our promises Old chains were simply replaced by new Our desire to ascend just left us all the more confined For better or worse, through sickness and health Burden of her devotion There 'til the end, death do us part Devoured by her emotions You will need to let go though darkness descends All around I must travel alone from here In the name of our pledge With the force of past Grasping my last breath In the name of our pledge All I ever was has nailed me to this cross (Silence... Laughter... Breathing... Fading...) Silence is screaming my name In laughter it hides Breathing life in our bond Fading again... In the darkness of tonight Dancing shadows on the wall Hiding from the light, into the night Darkness to light In the coldness of the dawn Breathing faintly once again Nurtured by the light, into the fight Into the blight Can't you see I'm weary, fighting for my life? You're so much more Thinking you should know by now Why won't you see? Your essence is tearing apart Content of your own heart You will need to let go though darkness descends All around I must travel alone In the name of our pledge With the force of past Grasping my last breath In the name of our pledge All we ever were will die In the name of our pledge With the force of past Grasping my last breath In the name of our pledge All I ever was has nailed me to this cross

And you stare into a gloomy distance Of a place you thought was ahead of you But now the winding road seems never ending tonight... You pray that the stars will light the way for you When the night gets dark and the cold unknown Comes your way to ensure your ending's tonight... I'll be there, watching every move they make I'll be there whispering words to ease your pain All through the night... When the night comes And the coldness numbs your mind All your deepest fears find you running motionless When the night comes And the nightmares come to life All you drag behind slows you down trying, running You'll die trying, running... Coldness seeks to slow your every move Trading secrets with your loneliness Watchful rest, keep that fire burning tonight... And though when it all just seems too much to bare When the night is there and you're all alone Your weariness can never be your mistress tonight... The pain of leaving behind (A pain that shall set you free) And journey on through the wild (Defying the cries of the night) Defining trades of a life (A lifetime to show) As you scare off the darkness tonight... I'll be there, watching every move they make I'll be there whispering words to ease your pain All through the night... When the night comes And the coldness numbs your mind All your deepest fears find you running motionless When the night comes And the nightmares come to life All you drag behind slows you down trying, running You'll die trying, running away... When the night comes And coldness numbs your mind I'll whisper words to keep you awake... When the night comes to suffocate your fire I'll be there watching, waiting... To set you on your way...

I fade away again and more you gain This dark or light, black or white lingers on As I die I watch you live You sure will find your way somehow You have to... I had to... I lay me down again I see myself in you as you see me You have your ways and I have mine It's all the same When I'm gone, your wish complete There will always be another one I know you... You know you... There's always more of you... Wasted all this time, I walked for miles away from you Wasted all this time, I walked for miles away from you I pay no mind to life, we have it all Our natural law, the fragile fall, you remain... Where there's crop, the eager feeds The more one has, the more one wants I know you... I see you... There's always more for you... Wasted all this time, I walked for miles away from you Wasted all this life, I walked for miles away from you

They say that time will heal That life is all but real You see my worlds collide A happy man so sad I know the fire is safe Inside the icy shell A place where you can't see That's where I'd rather be In this world of conformity I know there's no place for me I stand here on the edge See my face reflect A well of eternity But it pains too much to see A lock you can't unlock A key that's mine to keep See the trail through time and space Find your way I'll meet you there
