let’s get this over …
let’s get this over … with
loaded … crowned
sharpened to a point
keep my weighted … down
to the ground
you know this weakness
(i’m) hoping against hope
(break) out of this prison
it matters not
all my life is sacrificed to faces like my own
you are lying you’re alive
don’t you know
you died long before it hurt
Don’t you know
you came here expecting to shine
open your eyes
the burden you carry is mine
FEEL THE SKY
is this what growing older means
i’ll pass the opportunity
forcibly taken on a life of his own
i’ll never follow you home …
let me die
i won’t say it again
let me die
come and stay till the end
(let me die)
it’s been over
it’s been over – from before you were born
(let me die)
it’s been over
it’s been over – from the calm to the storm
me – you – from beginning to end
me – you – and i called you my friend
FEEL THE WEIGHT SHIFT
SEE THE VEIL LIFT
let’s get it over with
calm is my only bliss
silence my thoughts
you know this weakness
(you’re) hoping against hope
(break) out of this prison
you never knew
all my life is sacrificed to faces like my own
you are lying you’re alive
don’t you know
you died long before it hurt
Don’t you know
this is my life,
long escaping
my own fantasies
now freely taken on a life on my own
don’t wait for me
SHIFT THE WEIGHT
LIFT THE VEIL
OPEN MY EYES

i am the night and the day
oh you thought you left me behind
forgot i was one of a kind
controlling your senses
without me you’re deaf and you’re blind
no … way!
i am the night and the day
rise up … fall down
this is when i make you mine
your angel to die for, so sweet
my worshipers weak, still: repeat
a burden so heavy
i’ll never by pleased till you pay
no … way!
i am the night and the day
rise up … fall down
this is when i make you mine
an escape from reality
my eyes help you to see – what’s – freedom
you’ll never let me go
my lies take you to freedom
i’ll never let you go
i’m all yours
'til you fall from grace
i’ll be your sin
come, surrender everything
… know this time you cannot escape
i’m thriving through your pain and hate
prepare for your maker
your light it is fading to grey
my lies take you to freedom
i’ll never let you go
i’m all yours
'til you fall from grace
i’ll be your sin
come, surrender everything
i am the night and the day
rise up … fall down
this is when i say good night
it ends with a smile - goodbye
deprivation of life - your life
it ends with a smile - goodbye
deprivation of life - your life
i’m all yours
'til you fall from grace
i’ll be your sin
come, surrender everything
you were mine
i burned you from within
now i shed your skin
crave my freedom one last time

see all those faces around me
their minds will never grow
oh i wish they’d fall apart
burn down below
why can’t you see - i g-g-gave all i could be
but now they reap what i sow
envy the joy in your eyes
i’ll pay any price
to see the truth behind your lies
ALL OF US ARE BLIND TO OTHERS
all of us are blind to others
envy the joy in your eyes
i’ll pay the price …
how can i get you to notice
how will you recognize
that i’m left to fall apart
burn down below
won’t you believe - i g-g-gave all i could be
i think i’ll never be free
now - my - crows - fly
through - the - night - sky
all - are - lost - in
my - own - wish - to - die!
why?
i know you see - i g-g-gave all i could be
there’s nothing left inside me
envy the joy in your eyes
i’ll pay any price
to see the truth behind your lies
ALL OF US ARE BLIND TO OTHERS
all of us are blind to others
envy the joy in your eyes
i’ll pay the price …

growing silence, soothing lullaby
sudden violence, burning rage inside
how eyes hurt
loathing openly
this belligerence
lost in reverie
vain indifference
my eyes hurt
dirt struck at my mask
( … you gods, you fools, you can’t)
no, it comes undone
( … my gods, my fools, i can’t)
no, it can’t be gone
without it wounded, broken hiding-place
blushing bruises, no one, no embrace
how eyes hurt
loathing openly
this belligerence
lost in reverie
vain indifference
my eyes hurt
my pride, in vain
my mind, insane
my life, broken and scarred
don’t leave me now
i was the first to call my name
showing it off and playing my game
these ruins are mine to rebuild
don’t leave me now
my pride – MIRROR MIRROR BURN
i need to disguise me
But still i despise me
( … you gods, you fools, you can’t)
no, it comes undone
( … my gods, my fools, i can’t)
no, it can’t be gone
my pride, in vain
my mind, insane
my life, broken and scarred
don’t leave me now
i was the first to call my name
i was the first to play this game
these ruins are mine to rebuild
don’t leave me now
my pride – MIRROR MIRROR BURN

all these times someone’s pushing at the boundaries
i get brought up short
dare you try not to pry upon my memories
else i feel remorse
can’t let go once it started it is hopeless
i get brought up short
dare you try not to call upon your memories
dare you fail
someone is angry again
broke in two
cast my eyes into the blue
wide awake
but broken, too …
for as long as it hurts i am fighting and still in control
i can’t … can’t … keep …
this is euphoria
demons are all i see
this is euphoria
finally i am free
follow the pain it will lead you to me
noone will ever know
how i keep
but i am born of silence
a silence too deep
it chafes, it bites
it waits, it hides
in my skin
it bleeds
it can't be kept within
i fail
forced to exhale
i feel it start
it bursts from my heart
too late
come here my son
i've been waiting so long for you here
someone is angry again
whole again
try to hide behind my friend
fast asleep
but broken, still …
for as long as it hurts i am dying and still on my own
i can’t … can’t … keep …
this is euphoria
demons are all i see
this is euphoria
just stay away from me
follow the pain it will lead you to
follow the PAIN
i fail
forced to exhale
i feel it start
it bursts from my heart
too late
come here my son
i've been waiting so long for you here

come here my son
you should always do what you’re told
don’t be shy, taste one
then you better do what you’re told
all this is yours
if you only did what you’re told
please give me, please let me make this my own
give me what’s mine
don’t ask for patience
give me what’s mine
i want it, i need it
give me what’s mine
give me what’s mine
give me, although it’s against my will
a loaded gun
floating silently above my head
never be sated
never be satisfied
the hunger remains at my side
i can’t help but hate it
still i will crave for more
the hunger remains at my side
i’ll never be satisfied
take all - want all - be one - and all -
let me become all
trust me - feed me - face me - heal me -
i will become all
come here my son
i will never do what i'm told
don’t be shy, taste one
i won't ever do what i'm told
all this was mine
if i only did what i was told
please leave me, please i won't make this my own
give me what’s mine
don’t ask for patience
give me what’s mine
i want it, i need it
give me what’s mine
give me what’s mine
give me - although it’s against my will
a loaded gun
floating silently above my head
never be sated
never be satisfied
the hunger remains at my side
i can’t help but hate it
still i will crave for more
the hunger remains at my side
i’ll never be satisfied
give me what’s mine
give me what’s mine

burning
wanting
never had enough
i’ll never have enough
fainting
turning
killing
disease
this broken society
won’t still my hunger
my empty thoughts prevail
prevail
(i need more, give me more)
to fail
(always more, just some more)
it never ends
(only more, help me)
choking back the words for you to hear
prevail
(i need more, give me more)
to fail
(always more, just some more)
it never ends
(only more, help me)
i’m forced to want what i have to fear
burning - inside - wanting - to fight - i feel - this time - loosing - the need - causing - this pain
there is - so much - i need - to touch - i need - to see - all this - so much - much more - to gain
look at me now
at first sight - a pale king
this is my vow
i will own - everything
BURN AWAY MY SILENCE
HOLD ME DOWN IN PEACE
LOOK AT ME NOW - A FADING KING
lost all hope in humanity
THIS IS MY VOW - FOR EVERYTHING
these are my lies
there are those who follow
they're never satisfied
yet i’m the one who taints their blood
i’m never pushed aside
you’re my kind
desperate - i am - lonely - lost in - my own - timeless - soulless - mindless - heartless - disease
all this - coldness - offers - ingress - almost - failing - those who - who are - so hard - to please
look at me now
at first sight - a pale king
this is my vow
i will own - everything
BURN AWAY - MY SILENCE
HOLD ME DOWN IN PEACE
LOOK AT ME NOW - A FADING KING
these are my lies
there are those who follow
they're never satisfied
yet i’m the one who taints their blood
i’m never pushed aside
you’re my kind
are you the one who follows
you’re never satisfied
yet i’m the one who drains your blood
i lurk inside your mind
where you can’t hide

oh so much for the human touch
in your every word it was make believe
you’re not far behind
scared to lose my mind
how long till I find the light
breathe down my neck
in my mind whispers in the night
breaking every bond I have tried to bind
running out of time
you’re not far behind
how long till I find the light
reach out and bring me down
should I have seen the sin,
pulling me back inside
(freedom)
i’m forcing my way through the black
(mindless)
i’m feeling his gaze on my back
there is a fire
(human)
his hate it is burning my skin
(nature)
afraid that I stay lost within
there is a fire
what is the day
without the night?
why would you stay
without a fight?
should I embrace the sin,
pulling me back inside
(freedom)
i’m losing my way to the light
(mindless)
i’m turning and follow the night
there is a fire
(human)
his love it is warming my skin
(nature)
I’m free now I’ll stay lost within
this is my fire
come join me forget what you saw
embrace all my virtues of war
burn with my fire
and leave them behind
life is for the living
