Even The Air is a RuinTrusted my eyesIgnored the signsLeft meThe will to fightSunk in the same strange moodWhere even the air is like a ruin.Those clouds seem to fall downDeep down Insidelike a Ruin And I close my eyesI`m travelling light nowLike a RuinA stone so wide, deep insidelike a Ruinfrom the depth would riseThe meaning for this illusionI close my eyesTo travel lightThose clouds seem to fall down

REMIND MEPainted, the nightUntamed by designTo remind meTime grows olddark as a stormTo defy meHere comes the sightwhy am i so blind to see it ?Dead by designWhy am i so blind to see it ?Remind meLungs seems to burnLast penance to the soulTo remind meTime grows olddark as a stormTo defy meRemind meHere comes the sightwhy am i so blind to see it ?Dead by designWhy am i so blind to see it ?

IntimacyForce my eyes into the lightThe pure white blindsI cease to fightAwake to bleed another dayPurge my willCease my fateCease my fatePush my love into the voidNo space to feelNo time to healawake to bleed another dayCease my fateCease my fateI felt a kind of truthYou warned meThese things are not for youYou warned meI lost my kind of truthYou warned me

UnfoldWrite onThe lines of my handUnfoldMy twisted fateMy twisted fatetell meif all was worth write onthe lines of my handWrite on the lines, of my hand Write on the lines of my handUnveilAll The words I couldn`t sayShow methe steps I couldn’t makeUnfoldMy twisted fateUnveil

IAMTHEDARKI, I am the darkAlways searching for a reason whywhy, I am aliveLonging for a key to give me light I am the darkI am the darkPlease leave my mindI am the darkI am the darkLeave my mind Time is passing byRunning through the rain and gloomy skyTry to say goodbyeto all demons who follow me every night I am the darkI am the darkPlease leave my mindI am the darkI am the darkLeave my mind Wicked feelings in my mindUnder the moonlight, all nightScreaming creature shade my eyesI shout and fightHaunted feelings changed my lifeI cry all night I am the darkI am the darkPlease leave my mindI am the darkI am the darkLeave my mind

8.

Stand StillExquisite lines mold the time we have leftStanding real, fake to feelAll the loss has its role on the playStanding realWould time stand still?Would time stand still?Seems like a taleA guide to lossSeems like a wasteWould time stand still?Soon the real takes the place in your mouthStanding Real, fake to feelWould time stand still?Would time stand still?Seems like a taleA guide to lossSeems like a wasteSeems like a taleA guide to lossSeems like a waste

Catching FireYou felt the fire inside yourselfWith no blameand how desire turned to rageWith no blameNo blameNo blameNo blameNo blameyou felt a precious kind of hopeThere`s no blameno blameNo blameNo blameYou felt life away, from youDid you felt life away, from youYou felt life away from…. you

The KillingRealizedCan`t stop the movement of my daysunwiseliving on, the border of my fateI´m so deep inside your dreams of hateSo Kill me once againYour quest for blood will make you failSo use me once againRealizedCan`t stop the turmoil in my brainUnwiseTo live on the border of my fateI`ll take the blameSo use me once againI´ll take the blameSo kill me once again

11.

BrokenTake my breath and fill me with your broken insights, Broken insightsRest my arms in your web of fearsYour broken insightsRotten insideFeels like a way to findA design for your lifeA thorn in mineFeels like a way to findA design for your lifeA thorn in mineAdvise me with your certaintiesYour broken insights, broken insideTake your tears and drown your fearsSo rotten inside, broken insideFeels like a way to findA design for your lifeA thorn in mineFeels like a way to findA design for your lifeA thorn in minelike a thorn in my way

12.

If All Is LossI`ve seen the cloudsBreaking on my chestAnd the rain drowningAll what`s leftI`ve seen the stepsBefore the fallI`ve seen the lightSo dim and smallDon’t wake me againIf all is loss Embrace all the stepsBefore the fall I drowned so many timesIn my own fearsI closed so many doorsThat I disappeared disappeared before the fallDon’t wake me againIf all is loss
