Pretty Days
03:28
|
|||
Hello
can you feel the cold tonight?
Goodbye
I have chosen to step aside
Chorus:
Though it seems like eternity I'm out of time
And you've wasted my will to fight
I remember our easy take
Now we're losing our pretty days
Hello
Can you see what’s in my head?
Goodbye
To me you’ve never been so dead

Into the Night
04:39
|

Time never stands still - Am I already too late?
With every movement of the clock I'm drifting further away
Your shape is slowly fading like fog at first light
And I try to get a hint from the very last sight
Never saw your appearance
I've never heard your voice
I've never felt your touch
There's nothing but a void
Chorus:
And we would escape the day
Holding hands we'd run away
from the words that they say
Into the Night
My hopes and dreams fade away, my mind is getting weaker
I count the reasons to stay, I become a seeker
I see this empty throne right next to my own
It's kept in good repair like the rest of our home
Time and time again when the clock heralds the end
I look over to your throne where your shape has always been
I turn the hourglass around, again I wind up the clock
I will seek until I die, I reset the time for a new round
And we will escape the day
Holding hands we'll run away
from the words that they say
Into the Night
My hopes and dreams won't fade away, my mind is never weak
Enough reasons to stay, as long as I seek

Generation Dead
03:56
|
|||
Waking up from a full grown nightmare
but the nightmare never ends
You hide your face deep in the shadows
You can’t cope but others can
Collecting tears from your bloodshot eyes
every time when you hide and cry
You keep them stored in an outsized jar
to show the right one who you are
One - there’s a lone wolf in the night
Two – there are lone wolfs in the night
Three- there are more wolfs in the night
On your marks, get set
Chorus:
Generation Dead
Like a fire in the mire, hidden away
And the blaze is getting tired
You’re head’s up in the clouds
but you never shout it out
We stopped feeling so sad
but we’re heading back
You’re closing doors like you’re closing your eyes
after waking up every night
But again they fly wide open
and yesterday grabs you with might
Born a puppet but you cut off your strings
now you’re left alone when they sing
So many ideas in your head
Not bright, but black

Snow White
04:42
|
|||
Skin white as snow
and lips blood red
Her hair speaks of sorrow
ebony black
A dark coat shrouds her like a letter in cold print
Her eyes tell the story of the grief she’s in
Chorus:
Snow white - beauty in pitch black
No might to break her ruthless fate
Snow white - beauty in pitch black
A sight so pure but ever slain
The sun breaks the day
as words break her
Venom from the mouths
for her skin is so fair
She stares at her reflection - a face she barred
An appearance like a negative of the man-made star
She lies in the sun
where sneer put her
Her skin burns like fire
to blood it turns
One last page in her diary and all it said was
“I can only die alone or live stone-dead.”

(G)raveyard
03:49
|
|||
Forked tongues and ecstatic eyes
swapping words, lie by lie
Human shells under neon light
Bodies swaying side by side
And their limps they move by the order of sonic strings
but no wings to fly
Chorus:
One day you’ll die in this (g)raveyard at night
and shots will rise like flies
Flocks come together, gather around
hearing only decrepit sounds
Chained up, ever bound
404 - mind not found
And the poison runs through their veins and through their heads
but no remedy
|

This Decadence
04:13
|
|||
On the edge of a knife
that's how we live our lives
As much as we try to escape
we will always meet our fate
With existence comes decay
death watches us every day
Mankind's mind has collapsed
under the presence of distress
Chorus:
But I will never understand this decadence until the end
And I will always ask myself: "Have I been living in a cell?"
Their power will be devoured
by the cowardice they claim to be a way to treat decay
Blindfolded by the words of those
that can't handle to feel morose
Like sheep guarded by a shepherd
they will be bound forever
Poison's running through their veins
they free their lust to break the strain
Perversion is the only rule
their bodies die with their souls

Black Angel (Reborn)
05:19
|
|||
Dark shadows follow you through the night
there's nothing but anger on your mind
These thoughts have tortured you ever since
the day your mind got wrecked
Pure evil pours out of your eyes
abusing your strength to kill and fight
Except for hate your feelings are dead
There are dreadful visions in your head
Their blood is calling you
You taste revenge
They're gonna fall on their knees
craving for their lives
Refrain:
Black Angel - gone astray
Innocence to blood and blood to thy sway
You struggle with your desires in fear
but something is holding back your tears
Your habits have been wiped out to place
the devils grin on your face
"No mercy on their souls" you preach
but still this secret you will keep
Your deeds did not remain just one
What if they know what you've done?
This is the end
of your innocence
Black Angel rises
Black Angel sings again
Black Angel rises to haunt thee
(Black Angel rises to never fall again and haunt thee)
