Regicide 03:11
lyrics

I am the sun I bring the warmth you need I am the fire you fear Get too close and you will burn Try to hide and you will freeze I see everything and I'm everything you see I am the sun I won't shine for everyone You can't harm what keeps you alive You can't burn the fire which let you survive I am the sun and I won't go down till dawn I am justice, I am truth, I'm the chosen one I am everything to you so you better obey Try to kill me and you'll see this is not the end Try to kill me and you see it has just begun The king is dead! Long live the king!

Gone At Once 04:10
lyrics

Why don´t they accept the help they need? Appreciate their lives, their families The disease in their minds is stuck like a brick in the wall Not blind but neither willing to see I will make you see Cure your disease I´m not a savior but I will wake you up! You should concede (you’re not immortal and) that (if you do it) you're wrong, (one life) life (one chance) won't carry on (you have no time for regret) for long (no time for regret, because) You're gone at once These memories are scratched into my eyes Multiple souls, different persons reigned their lives Why can't they face that there's just one single chance And that they are burning the candle at both ends You should concede (you’re not immortal and) that (if you do it) you're wrong, one life one chance You have no time for regret, no time for regret,because You're gone at once

Vanishing Red 05:46
lyrics

I sang songs for you to let your inner demons sleep but I just woke them up I fought for you against three heads of jealousy, distrust and lies Don´t turn around when you see me it will be the last time Close your eyes Trust me, Trust me I will guide you home Give me your hand Close your eyes Trust me, Trust me I will save you from demise I will take the sword of honesty cause honesty cuts deep I will take the shield of hope cause if everything is lost hope prevails I walk into the shadows being light trying to find you cross the water of death there is no forgiveness here Everybody will pay for what they´ve done just make sure you have enough to pay the ferryman enough to pay for your sins Your soul is everything what's left so you better ensure you ain't selling it for nothing I can´t feel you I can´t feel you anymore So you did turn around You played with everything we've got And you've lost, us You turned around looked me in the eyes and I tried to say Close your eyes Trust me, Trust me I will guide you home Give me your hand Close your eyes Trust me, Trust me I will save you from The end and all its pain the end and all its frustration I know I tried And after everything we´ve said and after everything we´ve done this will be the end And after everything we´ve said and after everything we´ve done this will be the end And everything is vanishing into the red of the setting sun This goodbye means forever We came in red like a rose this love blossomed but your lies came like winter cold and without mercy to kill what we've got and now with red eyes I realized this love is not strong enough to chance seasons

Sociometry 06:09
lyrics
buy track
The clairvoyant has a cold You reap what you sow Felicity favours fools It's hard to know what to do I didn't try hard to fall apart Someone assumed control No matter what I dare, no matter what I do Sooner or later I'll lose it all Need for affiliation No one should bear this isolation I don't wanna be solitary I don't wanna be solitary Am I blind? Or am I too kind? Is it really me? Just drop me a line! Am I just dumb? I suddenly feel numb! But the pain hasn't gone Need for affiliation No one should bear this isolation One cannot have what one wants One rather gets what has no use I should lower my sights, I'm in bonds Cause others won't put a stop to abuse If she's falling for me, I'm not falling for it If I'm falling for her She won't give a shit I don't wanna be solitary

Whiter Goest Thou 04:52
lyrics

Heads up, bring it on Let´s do this all along You ought to consider that There might be just one path This life won´t wait for you You better live right now because no one is gonna do it for you So take your fucking chances Where do you go? Why did you just throw Your shirt and yourself away That could have been your sway That could have been the chance to live your dream Take hold of the power Ere you fall into your inner self You turned your back on yourself Seize thy chance Behold and lo Seize thy chance Whither goest thou? So here you stand this chance is in your fucking hands and you better hold on before it slips away like sand in an hourglass your time is running your days are numbered Take hold of the power (ere you) Ere you fall into your inner self Take hold of the power (ere you) Ere you fall into your inner self Why did you - just run away You passed up the opportunity Man up - you sneaky dick Listen up I've had enough of it, fuck it

Eaten Up With Envy 05:19
lyrics
buy track
For crying out loud Despair and bitter agony aroused Tearing down As if the fear of emptiness just got announced For crying out loud Fruitless search from north to south Halfway down I can't stand this fucking crowd The sun is setting at 4 -ish I'm floating towards nothingness The muck is hitting me, like a wave of nausea; it's pure envy Waiting for separations to come I am desperate to bond Fingers crossed – you're left alone Everyone else 's getting along Is it too late to carry on? I tried to find a way but all the stars are gone – they could have lead to better days And I´m standing here alone, the night blindfolds with its veil of darkness and I´m forced to my knees I'm still in a delirious state without control, it's tragic fate My thoughts are driving me insane – I've lost; it's pure envy Fingers crossed – you're left alone Everyone else 's getting along Is it too late to carry on? Eaten up – with envy No single one knows that I'm weak I am eaten up with envy (in a week) This dark night is surrounding me I lost it all or it´s somewhere I cant see But now the sun is setting I can feel the warmth on my face It cuts the blindfold it destroys the veil And the sun is setting And I can see it all untie my hands, untie my thoughts there is purpose, there is love So I open my eyes and if I´m used to the light I see! Sometimes life starts again
