I don’t know where to go from here Lost myself in this jungle of fear Where the Night is calling Comforting me in her cold embrace Taking me home? Think of it before you crawl And think twice of your luxury lives It' too late to save what's gone As you can see the damage has been done! Can’t go back now Never had a chance to prove I’m not the one to blame But what does it matter now When we’re heading for the end Nowhere to run when it’s falling down For you and me, where would you be then In this dark place, where would children go? There’s no way The demise is our fault! I don’t know how we can face all this Lost my life in this saga of fear Where now the Man is falling The Beast, most ferocious of them all And so alone Look at Her before you fall And stare deep in to the eyes of storm It's too soon to say what's lost As you can see we have to pay the cost! Can’t take it anymore Never had a chance to know I was the one to blame But what does it matter now? We’re still heading for the end Nowhere to run when the curtains fall For you and me, where would you be then? In this dark place, where would children go? There’s no way. The demise is our fault! We're heading for the end....

It was the start of this all It was the stars aligned horribly wrong It was the bottom of the fall It was the winds that spat their savage tongue It was the hunt and the moon It was the life and death, when circles moved It was the lack of love and caress It was the hand and the call of Ares But now, who can ever heal these wounds? And how? When I'm surrounded like the walls around Herod's palace And the things that kept me sane Are safety locked to hide them from the mind deranged It was the sights, they grew dim It was the things that you could never see It was the witness of the frights It was the road that led to such delights Ooh, the delights And though I tried to change those wicked ways I keep coming back for more Like the veins that bled for days The twisted vine still grows Just the moon and I When the stars won't shine At the serpent's sight They'll writhe As the moment dies Cut the air like scythe When the velvet night Folds all the life Only owls, they see Slick misery In the wreckage Of the Self The deadly bite And the predator's rite Reside in the mask I hide But now, who can ever take the blame? And how? When there's so much at stake Just the moon and I When the stars won't shine At the serpent's sight They'll writhe As the moment dies Cut the air like scythe When the velvet night Folds all the life These eyes only see Slick misery In the wreckage of those lives The deadly bite And the predator's rite When the blood ran Through the velvet night It was one of those nights It was the one when the moon did not shine It was the reign of enemies It was the surface of repressed memories Just like that moon, their faces haunt me Every drop still warms the ground I walk Every drop of splashed blood Every puddle spreading like ill health Every time I couldn't save myself Only the moon They writhe Only the moon and I Writhe...

You once said You will come back even if it's gonna Take a life, take a lifetime to find you But bad dreams have come true And you're so far You're SO far behind the veil of stars Flying, searching You're shattered in the mass Like sand in the hourglass Through time You can reach the door I'm there I can feel your call Your scent Surrounds me It will take me back Take me back under the midnight sun So cold Yet so warm inside Warm inside when you held me Like seance Your spirit entwined with mine But I saw fear in your eyes I can sense it I can feel You're once again part of me It's been hard It's been long It's been impossible to let you go I can't put it off my mind Something led me here tonight All the flowers They are gone And the sun I can sense it I can feel You're once again part of me It's been hard It's been long It's been impossible to let you go Faint whispers fill the room Now it's time for me and you I am stripped of all my pride I see the lights flicker before my eyes

The time was never on our side The trail of bitter tears Led astray Together fighting the darkness Succumb, it's too much As our very lives blood is falling down to drain Light, so little light Tonight Only the end in sight The time I had you by my side And all the dreams we had Where are they? This house, a barren mountain side The rain washed away your tracks Every single step No, no more tears They're all in vain In the end game Time, time has come Give up the fight It's losing time Under desert stars Through the time and drought I crawled and I bit the dust Just to get a glimpse of Paradise I left behind A journey to hell to lose you All hope ends here The edge of the line A journey of bad dreams To wash away the lies After the dark What is there? After the dark What is left? Kiss your scars 'cause now you're facing hell This time there's no excuse No turning back Dry away your tears in the flames of sorrow As they burn your soul to dust To dust Light, no more light Tonight Only the end Under desert stars Through the time and drought I crawled and I bit the dust Just to get a glimpse of Everything I left behind In the paradise Silent screams The silent time of losing My silent time to lose You

Home is where heart is But this heart is locked in Sweet home, so fine Across this heart is barbed wire Bleeding from the years of heresy, agony I don't belong here I'm going fast Am I near? Take me home! There where I belong Take me now! I won't last very long Show me the way out of pain I'm waiting you here at the rain I want to hear the waves breaking on the shore And see the clouds roll by on the skies above Should I go north? Should I go south? Should I go west or east? Should I leave now? Or go another round? Struggle, when others mock me down Marionette to your games Obey your insane sayings To leave, ain't believing You took my thoughts away There is no euphoria here! Only disgrace and fear Barren heart searching for love I'm on my long walk home Take me home! There where I belong Take me now! I won't last very long Show me the way out of pain I'm waiting you here at the rain I want to hear the waves breaking on the shore And see the clouds roll by on the skies above Should I go north? Should I go south? Should I go west or east? Should I leave now? Or go another round? Struggle when others mock me down Marionette to your games Obey your insane sayings To leave, ain't believing You took my thoughts away

Felt you standing there At the fire's stare Sneak attack, a downpour The mouth of war Flames scorched down the houses Poured from the skies The melting frost surrounded The shrapnel and the gore Hiding among the trees All of us, evacuees The panic's rising, no they can't see But if they find us we'll never flee Silent as the grave We cross the enemy line We won't be turn to slaves Rather die with pride Puppets dancing on a leash Tin toys for the Beast Forsaken their lives and lost their minds for the battlefield Felt you lying there At the enemy's stare Knife in a back, a downfall Endless war! They cast down the madness Reigned the skies The melting tears of fierceness Their alibi Living like thieves Destroyed properties The heat is rising, no they can't flee Total vengeance, they will see! Already in their graves Soldiers without a name They will be slaves To one Nation's pride Puppets dancing on a leash Tin toys for the Beast Forsaken their lives and lost their minds for the battlefield "Lying cold in the killing fields Feeling numb but feeling no fear There's one picture on my mind There you stand by my side My thoughts turn back to the course of time Flickering frames of life gone by From the very first time I was held To the last gasp of my breath No man stands for-ever Like no words on a letter We fought for the rest to live their lives Can the future remember what we sacrificed?" There's no future Life is fading All that was Descending There's no need for the Casualties of war Let them "heal" their traumas Forever more

When the will has gone away And fire’s burnt out At the end of your road There’s no easy way out There’s no-one to hold on Can you make it without? No belief to share Only anguish I gain Listen to the wind it cries It calls out your name Let the wind guide your way You will fly Far away Whispers from the past My friend, you were the last Childhood and dreams Disappeared so fast See the trees Leaves in the ground Where we played and sworn aloud That the fire burns no matter where we turn We stand together Is the flame still alight? Or extinguished along the time Only cold stones that bear their names Are reminders of what used to be Whispers from the past My friend, you were the last Childhood and dreams Disappeared so fast Whispers from the past My friend, you were the last Childhood and dreams Disappeared so fast So many good times So many good laughs Life was just like a fantasy Then the rain came and everything changed Black storm clouds gathering the sky Gust of wind blows me away Blows me away I’m ash in the air Bleak black sky I see their faces in the night Lightning light Guides my way Guides my way Ending my pain
