Aimlessly adrift on this
ocean of emptiness
when only your will
can carry you ashore
the raft that you built
could not weather the storm
and slowly you‘re starting to drown
No, you can‘t sacrifice
all you are
and all you ever could have been
You‘ve played with the thought,
to end it all in selfishness,
but that was so long ago
don‘t turn your back
on the things you have learnt
so my wisdom on you I bestow
Hold on to the pieces
and don‘t let go
Hold on to yourself
and don‘t let go
you can‘t falter NOW

The Surge
03:06
|

The higher you climb, the farther you fall
That‘s what they tell you, to keep you down
follow the stream and dont stick up
discouraged and discarded, you‘re just a gear in their machine
we reach for the stars, while our hearts are
weighed down by the weight of the world
pave your own path, true to yourself
make your voice be heard
Conquer the seas of indifference
cross the mountains of spite
scale the walls of their ignorance
and tear down the razor wire of silence
we reach for the stars, while our hearts are
weighed down by the weight of the world
pave your own path, true to yourself
make your voice be heard

A fighter's dream
03:55
|
|||
|
Out in the desert
for what seems like a thousand days
for a flag that you‘ve forgotten
and a code that you‘ve betrayed
only one unwary moment
before you heard the shots
it was already too late
take a good hard look
at yourself in the mirror
is this what you want
is this what you want to be
how much blood did you shed
to save their freedom
and to earn your soldiers grave
a fighter‘s dream
what a pyrrhic victory
all that you have left behind
never to be seen again
is it here you thought to find
your heroic end
a hard hit to the chest
the impact throws you back
scarlet letters in your hand
as your blood is spilt on sand
how many men did you have to kill
for what they call freedom
and to earn your soldiers grave
a fighter‘s dream
what a pyrrhic victory
But as you fall
and you close your weary eyes,
the noise of battle slowly dies
there in the dark you hear it,
hear it beating ceaselessly
- hear it beating ceaselessly
a fighter‘s dream
what a pyrrhic victory

Remember
03:50

Cold sweat runs down my neck as I rise from dreamless sleep
my heart is pounding, the pain still sits too deep
I see her lifeless eyes staring right through me
her aching cries haunting me now
I told myself that there was nothing I could do
but day to day the hatred grows anew
I have been down these empty streets
I know exactly where they lead
Whatever you´ve become
I will remember
wherever you have gone
I will remember
This can not be undone
I will remember
It took me months to
track you down
so I could not let you go
You didn‘t know what hit you
when I struck you down
with one decisive blow
This wont give me inner peace
but it sure feels like a start
as I plunge the blade into
your heart

Prefrontal Lobotomy
03:48
|
|||
|
Drink up, drink up, another shot
directly to the brain
another useless attempt
to deaden your sorrow
just when you recall that you forgot
that your mind is stubborn enough
to still hope for tomorrow
But I found the perfect way
to abolish all your pain
sever the frontal lobes
extract the needle carefully
and wait for serenity to set in
No longer a slave
No longer a slave of empathy
Go on inject another shot
of this poison to your veins
to sustain the illusion
that ignorance is bliss
But when you come to your senses
you then start to reflect
on the life that‘s wasted like this

Departure
05:51
|
|||
|
The seed of discord grew ever in our midst
lurking until we were too caught up to resist
unworthily fell into disrepair
On the point of no return as we depart
looking back on the years we‘ve shared
did we grow together or did we grow apart
so frail the ties that bind us
so stale it has confined us
do we fail to redefine us
or assail what has entwined us
all you love and all you treasure
is only temporary
what is left when the embers slowly fade
do we live in regret for the rest of our days
with a heart heavy as stone
as we depart into a future unknown
tearing apart from the inside
a flicker of sadness in your eyes
as there is a sense of finality
entangled strands of causality
everything could have gone so differently
but in this moment all is lost to me
what is left when the embers slowly fade
and there‘s nothing left to reignite the flame
reality branches as we part ways
do we live in regret for the rest of our days
with a heart heavy as stone
as we depart into a future unknown
