Melody Of Hearts
03:40
|
|||
Open your eyes to what lies behind
The facade of decades of hurtful lies
Go all in, don’t fold the cards
Don’t let it fall on deaf ears and listen
Closely to the melody of hearts
Have you ever thought about what’s going on
In any other mind but your own (But your own)
Why they make decisions which make no sense
With no apparent reason you can understand
They keep on smiling
Make themselves believe it
One day it fades and
Reveals their scars
(Reveals their scars)
Open your eyes to what lies behind
The facade of decades of hurtful lies
Go all in, don’t fold the cards
Don’t let it fall on deaf ears and listen
Closely to the melody of hearts
If we tried to understand through what people have been
Then we can start to walk a road together and shake hands
No need to walk the earth alone
When we are so similar
They are broken so deeply
A mask that mimics
What they are hiding
Behind their walls
So once a connection is built
Then we can share our guilt
Seize the moment and build
A future to move on
To a new horizon
Open your eyes to what lies behind
The facade of decades of hurtful lies
Go all in, don’t fold the cards
Don’t let it fall on deaf ears and listen
Closely to the melody of hearts
Open your eyes to what lies behind
The facade of decades of hurtful lies
Go all in, don’t fold the cards
Don’t let it fall on deaf ears and listen
Closely…
Open your eyes to what lies behind
The facade of decades of hurtful lies
Go all in, don’t fold the cards
Don’t let it fall on deaf ears and listen
Closely to the melody of hearts
(The melody of hearts)

Windmill
03:48
|

Let the waves crash the shore
Let the pillars all erode
Tear them down one by one
Let the eons take it’s toll
Blegh
Watch your life slowly dissolve
While reaching out for hold
Sink deep inside this hole
Lose to chaos your control
The undertow
Drags you down
Stuck in a limbo of nothing
My mind’s surrounded with nonsense
A vicious cycle I can’t flee
No road to take me back
There’s a vortex in my head
Forcing flavours to go bland
Old cravings I once had
Burn up in flames of black
A light in the dark shines brighter and brighter
Lifts me off the pavement higher and higher
A silhouette of a promised place
Slowly takes away the pain
Stuck in a limbo of nothing
My mind’s surrounded with nonsense
A vicious cycle I can’t flee
No road to take me back
From a far I see home
A windmill on a hill all alone
The comfort for which I long
So dear and warm
Where I belong
A windmill on a hill all alone
Stuck in a limbo of nothing
My mind’s surrounded with nonsense
A vicious cycle I can’t flee
No road to take me back

Constructor
03:27
|
|||
Generically we walk the earth
Like robots obeying their commands
Have no heart to define good and bad
Have no brain if you’d open our head
But I can feel a ghost inside
Trying to deny this life
Trying to bring this machine some feels
So I overheat
Constructor I’m broken
Fix this problem
So I keep working
Constructor did you fix me?
I feel this beating
Am I free?
I have been here for a thousand years
Eons pass by while I’m collecting my memories
Never knew any shame of fears
The same blueprints throughout the factory
All built in the same machinery
For a life in-between the gears
These thoughts keep me awake at night
They’re about every time I lied
Honesty slowly fades away
Just like will to obey
Constructor I’m broken
Fix this problem
So I keep working
Constructor did you fix me?
I feel this beating
Am I free?
This droid starts thinking
Firewall crumbling
Programming failing
My battery isn’t loading anymore
(Loading anymore)
Loading anymore
(Loading)
Anymore
And although I may never be unleashed from their chains
In my head I will continue to find a way through these agonising pain
I will never, never surrender to anyone or anything
I’ll keep going further and further straight to my hopeful remains
Constructor did you fix me?
I feel this beating
Am I free?

Not Perfect
04:03
|
|||
I see so many of us
That are desperate for love
Trying to make something last
That wasn’t meant in the first place
Over time I realised
That deep inside our feeble minds
A system of reminiscence
Past joy and endearments
Leads us in every step we take
That we take
So maybe we’re not perfect but I know we’re worth it
But I know we’re worth it
We don’t mind all the little things, we enjoy each other’s difference
With a bit of patience you find something that’s worth it
This is the end of your searching
A constant back and forth
Not knowing what you’re looking for
As time passes slowly by
We’re hunted by our dreams at night
Of once forgotten memories
So joyful and endearing
That lets us question what we have
What we have
So maybe we’re not perfect but I know we’re worth it
But I know we’re worth it
We don’t mind all the little things, we enjoy each other’s difference
With a bit of patience you find something that’s worth it
This is the end of your searching
So let the current flow you home
Eventually they will appear and take your breath away
So stay at ease, give it time sit back and wait

Seven Deadly Sins
03:29
|
|||
I am burning from the inside out
from the inside out
This place looks familiar
Feels like I’ve been here before
Where is the way back home
Where are all the things I own
There was this man
Listening to all the stories that I had
He looked at me and said
Brother it is time for you to forget
Time goes on and I feel relief
The pain in me vanished with ease
Turned around and looked back
Suddenly my vision turned black
Where!
She’s gone without a trace to find
Exaggerated I go living my life
Poison myself with the worst of kinds
I can’t believe the misery I’m in
Lets take this line and go for a spin
I feel more alive than I’ve ever been
Where am I now I can’t remember a thing
There was this man
Listening to all the stories that I had
He looked at me and said
Brother it is time for you to forget
Time goes on and I feel relief
The pain in me vanished with ease
Turned around and looked back
Suddenly my vision turned black
Burning from the inside out…

Jealousy
04:15
|
|||
Where do I begin
Describing how I think
How ashamed I am
For treating her this way
Hatred, Ire, dark in my soul
Devouring me, I lost control
I've done you wrong and put you down
I'm fed up with what I've become
Never did she deserve the pain I put her through
My desperate search for attention drove me to
Hurt this so delicate little thing
Which I trampled on and tore apart deliberately
Could you ever bring yourself to forgive me for
The suffering I've caused you
The things I've said to hurt you
I wouldn't blame you if you really couldn't though
Jealousy got the best of me
Understand that I'm sorry
Why did you pick her over me
And let me become this beast
The scars I left are way too deep
There is no excuse for what I did
Remember that one Christmas eve
I despised the way you decorated the tree
I called you useless and so worthless
Every name in the book of hatred
I am no brother let us face it
These words are a knife with which you got stabbed with
I don't deserve for you to call me family
Seven years of tyranny and hate (Seven years of tyranny and hate)
I never behaved like I loved you my sibling
You may cut me out it's not too late
Could you ever bring yourself to forgive me for
The suffering I've caused you
The things I've said to hurt you
I wouldn't blame you if you really couldn't though
Jealousy got the best of me
Understand that I'm sorry
Why did you pick her over me
And let me become this beast
The scars I left are way too deep
There is no excuse for what I did

Interlude
01:30
|

Sometimes a wide clear ocean can turn into a puddle of mud under certain circumstances.
It succumbs under the pressure of fate and bows to it’s predetermined destiny.
Forgotten by the world it becomes nothing more than a fleeting spec of dust.
Many of our lives are already cursed by the time we were born.
Born in the wrong families, born with a defect or simply unlucky.
But I say do not despair for there are better times to come.
You are not weak and you are not alone.
Let us not forget these unsung heroes fighting for their future in a war unseen by the rest of us.
Let us lend a hand to these brave warriors to come back stronger and give them faith so they may return to us one day.
Our brothers and sisters may you come home soon.

Unsung Heroes
02:50
|

Words can’t describe the struggle they endure
Every anew searching the strength and hoping for a cure
Fighting through sleepless nights for a future unsure
So let’s hear it for the ignored, the uncared for, the poor
Unsung hero keep your head held high
(Hero)
You brave creature with an unimaginable might
Reaching for this moment in life
Which lasts just for a blink of an eye
Thankful for what you have even though it isn’t much
This one more breath, one more glimpse of the ones that you love
To be able to cast off your fake smile just once
To forget the worries the rest of us have the pleasure to live without
Unsung hero keep your head held high
(Hero)
You brave creature with an unimaginable might
Reaching for this moment in life
Which lasts just for a blink of an eye
All hail to the heroes
Who remain unseen for the most of us
Unsung hero keep your head held high
You brave creature with an unimaginable might
Reaching for this moment in life
Which lasts just for a blink of an eye

Struggle & Pain
03:52
|

The struggle the pain
The path ahead bloodstained
The setbacks the gain
The goals we have is the same
Together we fight
Not alone we unite
We’re kings searching the crown
And we never back down
Keep Your Head High
Success comes not over night
Don’t lose your faith you have strength to prevail
Don’t dare give in stand your ground and you’ll win
No time to rethink the situation you’re in
The dice have been cast let’s see how long you’ll last
Don’t close your eyes
Be the one to decide
Front to back, side to side
Now it means do or die
You claimed victory, hear them chant your name
But this is not the end, it is just the beginning
Just the beginning
Keep Your Head High
Success comes not over night
Don’t lose your faith you have strength to prevail
Don’t dare give in stand your ground and you’ll win
You’ll win
The struggle the pain
The path ahead bloodstained
The setbacks the gain
The goals we have is the same
Together we fight
Not alone we unite
We’re kings searching the crown
And we never back down
Keep Your Head High
Success comes not over night
Don’t lose your faith you have strength to prevail
Don’t dare give in stand your ground and you’ll win
And you’ll win

Who can you be
When you can’t be yourself
What should you believe
When all you see is just a dream
Can I make a difference
When I’m by myself
Who can you trust
When no one is reliable
Fuck your lifestyle it is just a distraction
A sad excuse to justify your actions
Feel oh so superior but lack the character
Look down on others for your satisfaction
A little decency goes a long long way
See that’s what people appreciate
You cloak your identity
Keep your ideals to yourself
I couldn’t care less
Your motives don’t make any sense
God damn hypocrite
Not everyone lives your reality
But clearly everyone can see
You’re most definitely
Not the world’s elite
Not the world’s elite
So stay the fuck away from me
A little decency goes a long long way
See that’s what people appreciate
You cloak your identity
Around a person you’d like to be
Here is what you don’t see
Your actions don’t match with the words you preach
Blindly follow the road to the edge
Clouding judgement just to fit in
A little decency goes a long long way
See that’s what people appreciate
You cloak your identity
Around a person you’d like to be
Here is what you don’t see
Your actions don’t match with the words you preach

Isolated Shell
03:33
|
|||
I’m quite skilful in human interaction
But with you I’m at a loss for words
I can be very composed and steadfast
Not with you, with you my whole world turns
You bring out the flaws in me
That I don’t want others to see
I’m afraid that you might leave
Once you see what’s inside of me
Not a single person knows the real me
I hide behind made up self-esteem
Play pretend and bend in attempt
To blend in with the rest of them
I’m a mess I have to confess
Most I say is just to impress
All I ask for is a chance
To open up and show you who I am
For you to know what kind of man
I am beneath this isolated shell
Enough of feeling sorry for myself
I have to take life in my own hands
So much to give, much more to share
No point in living if I don’t care
For myself and what’s surrounding me
Beyond the horizon is a whole different world to see
Not a single person knows the real me
I hide behind made up self-esteem
Play pretend and bend in attempt
To blend in with the rest of them
I’m a mess I have to confess
Most I say is just to impress
All I ask for is a chance
To open up and show you who I am
For you to know what kind of man
I am beneath this isolated shell
It just looks like this never ends
I can’t face the weight in my head
This might be too much
This might be too much
It just looks like this never ends
I can’t face the weight in my head
This might be too much
This might be too
Much to ask
It came way to fast
I know this won’t last
But if I just had
One chance
All I ask for is a chance
To open up and show you who I am
For you to know what kind of man
I am beneath this isolated shell

My Redemption
04:12
|
|||
They say you only know what you love
Once you’ve lost it
I don’t wanna let it go that far
A demon inside feeds me with anxiety
And questions everything I’ve got
Everything I’ve got
It’s a constant war with myself no one can help me win
A battle between hurt and heart
But I can reach out to you from the abyss
Not to pull me up but lending me strength
I’ve finally found my redemption
The place that I can call my home
But there’s something that resents it
Why can’t my head just let it go
Let it go
After a long way up I’ve fallen down again
I doubt the world and especially myself
Picking up the shattered pieces
Maybe someday I can see the bigger picture
As long as I do everything I can
I’m certain you’ll stay until the end
I’ve finally found my redemption
The place that I can call my home
But there’s something that resents it
Why can’t my head just let it go
Let it go
Let it go 3x
Why can’t my head just let it go
Let it go 3x
Why can’t my head just let it go
I’ve finally found my redemption 2x

In Exile
04:59
|
|||
Can you release me from my lasting pain
My lungs inhale toxins, my veins are full of heroin
I feel like drowning in my very own blood
Like being roughly dragged through a see of mud
Hope is abandoned and everything is lost
Promises being made are not even worth the trial
My flayed heart is covered in frost
I find myself in hell
In exile
In exile
Lost in a world where values are not counting
My sense of honour is slowly dismounting
But I’ve reached a peak in evolving my selfishness
Ready to drag you down unaware of the end
Of this process
Of this process
Hope is abandoned and everything is lost
Promises being made are not even worth the trial
My flayed heart is covered in frost
I find myself in hell
In exile
In exile
A mirror of regret reflects my nasty face
A mirror of regret reflects my nasty face
I do not recognise it, numbness ’til the end of days
I really can’t explain it, what in the world happened to me
What happened to me
This is my end, this is my trial
This is my hell, this is my exile
