1.	The Wrath Within 05:25	lyrics	buy track
The Wrath Within There's a fire set in the wasteland of my mind. It burns me out and feeds my disbelief in mankind. A prime evil deemed to rule it all. Desert to stay alive and jump before you fall. Pull me down. Drag me in. Come and meet the wrath within and let it all go. Cracks in the surface.Blinded eyes won’t lead the way. One glimpse, one word of doubt and all shall fall apart. The false prophets lure us like rats to the feast with promises they will never keep. No forgetting what we’ve done. No forgiving. We are one. Let the light burn our eyes. We're running blindly through the fields of destruction. Who's next? Let's roll the dice. We're going down with everything. Devour the sun. Conceal the sky.
2.	Eyes in the Sky 04:26	lyrics	buy track
Eyes in the Sky We had a contract. Peace for loyalty. You will protect our so called freedom and defend our property. We've sold our souls for a bound of confidence. Disconnected from ourselfs. Now your data cable has become your safety rope. Tool of a failed state. You have lost control. You've lost it long ago. Watch me as I try to resist. Nothing to loose. We're on the black list. Transistor superiority. We've fed the wolfs at the door. Eyes in the sky. Death on the road.The tragedy is, we knew it all before. We are the ones who never ment to get this far and these are our final days. Eyes in the sky. Death on the road. War tells a story that should never been told.
3.	Draw the Line 03:43	lyrics	buy track
Draw the Line Stumbling around. Tripping, falling, crawling. Loosing ground. For the sake of your calling. Make no sound. For each word kills legions. Shout it out. Overcoming your demons. I draw this line. Your vow means repression. The choice is mine. I draw this line. You want me to fight. With your robes drenched in red. Get out of my head. Once for all. This is a wake up call. One last time. I draw this line.
4.	Fiction 04:23	lyrics	buy track
Fiction I'm walking down that emty road. It guides me my way back home. Deserted grounds I used to know.There is a path for me to follow. With the fading light I'm loosing hope. Blind in the the dark. Out of control. Broken memories fused to a weight. As midnight approaches shadows awake. Take it slowly before the morning comes. Time ain’t got to take us down. Show no mercy before the final crack of dawn. Time ain’t got to take us down. Im going on. Im going down. I save the best I can. But now you drift away from me. The end is numb, you'll see me at the low of reality. Fictions embrace my mind. Memorials of failure border my path and take me away.
5.	Circles 04:50	lyrics	buy track
Circles Your ghost around me night and day. Silent shadows guard our ways. Rusty demons from the past. But as time goes by the memory fades. Never i'll return to the emptyness in between. Let's agree to walk our ways. Seven years are almost over. Will there ever be forgiveness? Make up your mind for something new. Seven years are almost over and everything repeats itself. There will never be forgiveness. We're moving in circles. Large lithic walls I've built of tears to overcome these hollow years. Reconstruct the ruins of what used to be a home. Footprints behind me. Darkness descends. No destination. Our journey ends.
6.	Ashes 04:19	lyrics	buy track
Ashes Imprisoned in my patterns of every day's routines. I'm struggling for some meaning, anything that makes me feel. I'm searching for the person that i'll become to be. I'm searching for another self for me to dissapear. I can't take this, but we have to carry on. Raise your voice, resist and we'll become the force of recreation. What is a lifetime as an empty human shell? Consume your life, say goodbye and farewell. I watched the world die in my dreams. Crawling through ashes as we seek for redemption on our knees. The burning sky witnesses our deeds. I can't take this, but we have to carry on. Raise your voice, resist and we'll become the force of recreation. Hunted by the devil called fear.
7.	The Day the Earth Stands Still 05:31	lyrics	buy track
The Day the Earth Stands Still I look into your eyes and try to see anything that defines how you feel about me. Your glance so cold, almost like dead. Your hand I hold. Do you hear what I said? I never asked and never will. This is the day the earth stands still. As long as you are here with me this is the place I want to be. My love so come and tell. I won't go without a promise and farewell. For me there is no doubt. We used to laugh, we used to cry. Becoming one as time passed by. How could have changed what we used to be? Looking back, I see you smile. I eased your sorrows for a while. Now all we had we left behind.
8.	Worlds Collide 04:41	lyrics	buy track
Worlds Collide Watching the sun going down in the sea, stars arise afar from me. Sparkles of light, a glimpse in the dark. We were cursed to fight, right from the start. We've burried the past deep in the ground, so we wont hear the guns, but we'll die to their sound. As daylight dies, worlds collide. Don't you feel the fire rushing through your veins? Doomed to fall designated to fail. We've burried our sins, nothing but lies. All is lost. As daylight dies, worlds collide. We realize, face down in the sand: We've built our future with a gun in our hand.
9.	The Mourning 04:06	lyrics	buy track
The Mourning Beyond the surface lies a world in itself. Obscured, ambigous, fathomless. I walk the darkness of the night. Mountains and valleys I stride. Through mist I march, three riddles asked. Keeping track in the labyrinth. A place of life eternal consumed by the flames. All fountains lie deserted. Fire lights my way. I walk the darkness of the night. A silent friend by my side. Our paths entwined, two of one kind. Detached, confined. Alleviate the fever, take away the pain. Release me from those demons. Make me whole again. "Mourning is regularly the reaction to the loss of a loved person, or to the loss of some abstraction which has taken the place of one. People never willingly abandon a libidinal position. The opposition can be so intense that a turning away from reality takes place. When the work of mourning is completed the ego becomes free and uninhibited again"* Ascend towards higher dimensions, reach the moon and the stars and the sky. Turn back to the source, cure the sickness within and breathe new life. * see S.Freud (1917): Mourning and Melancholia.
10.	Free 05:04	lyrics	buy track
Free Can you still hear me? I'm not even sure if I'm still speaking. You just moved I guess or was it the window behind me? I haven't moved in days. I'm not even sure if I'm still here. Can still hear you I guess. Or was it the door behind me? We should have noticed it long before. The roots branched out. We could have known that there's a branch in our way. We should have taken it away as long as the branch did not grow, remained so small. But it had never scared our little heads like that. We had never felt the fear in every vein. The fear! I wish I could fear again. The rage! I wish I could rage again! Have you ever felt that free?
