Ending in Tragedy 02:12
lyrics
Night after night Living the dream Intoxicated A young man's dream Hoping for more Settling for less Crawling through glass Invigorating Drowning yourself In despair A night most fine Ending in tragedy Burning inside Hoping for more For someone, for someting Make me special The final call A dance most divine Ending in tragedy
3.
The Midas Touch 03:08
lyrics
Undiscovered In a blink of an eye, paralysed A burning sensation Inside your chest, can't hold back What is this madness An endless need for more, for more Material obsession Total submission Oh, help me god Just make me see For I have lost sight Of what is right Oh, help me god Just let me feast For I have no way To consume all this What is the price of redemption My weight in gold? My body and soul Please don't lead me astray For I have no way to cope on my own Release me from your grasp I beg, I beg, I beg and plead For I have become your slave A slave to the system Curse you, temptation In a blink of an eye, victimised The Midas touch brings grief For momentary happiness is oh so brief What is this urge A sudden need, a need for more A burning sensation Inside your chest, can't hold back
4.
The Howling 02:01
lyrics
A failed creation Lies in ruin, abomination Trust no one Seize the day, for it is yours Heavy hearted He grasps his fate, overwhelming The blood runs dry For open wounds, cannot heal I can hear them howling Those screams of grief Make the hairs on the back of my neck stand all straight I've seen the beast's eyes So full of hate But beyond all the anger Exists only pain Mistreated once more Always kicked, without remorse Lock in cage It's no wonder, they act so foul We are what we are Hated by most, loved by few The time to strike is now Just make your stand, resistance is futile
5.
Phantom Limb 02:53
lyrics
The loss of a limb, a tragedy To frolic in pain, most solemnly Just close your eyes and count to ten And pray they can attach it again Scarred for life, unfit to keep An arm was the price, of this defeat A clump of flesh was all you held From now till the end, forever condemned Please, don't ever leave me I swear I'll change Oh, I'm begging you I promise to make amends I miss your touch And the scratching of skin Just end this pain My phantom limb I can't accept, this awful fate Alone at home, I sit and wait Through sullen eyes I see my stump And dream of times before my loss Broken and torn, re-living the gore An endless battle, a mental war Longing for tendons, nerves and more An obsession that most of us would abhor
6.
Dead Stare 02:13
lyrics
Looking out of the window All I see is grey A life forsaken Drowning in defeat The devil's water Makes me feel at ease Trying to stand straight With a dead stare I wish to see light At the end of this tunnel I need to see light To survive this night A state of intolerance Succumb through greed Drowning myself In eternal oblivion Or this is how it seems In this state of mind I am not myself I need salvation
7.
Control 03:03
lyrics
What we want And what we need Are separate things Like right and wrong The urge has grown I just need that kill The urge has grown To feel that thrill I have lost control
8.
Faithkiller 05:17
lyrics
A fallen angel Sent from above, they say Reaches out to her flock Cautiously they approach The figure divine Only to be let down Now watch in scorn As the lies are born And oaths are sworn Now watch in scorn As they're left forlorn Confused and torn Your faith shall be tested For all that's been promised She'll try to take it away Deceiver, believer Both one and the same Tirelessly leading the way to mankind's damnation Devoid of caring Those eyes still glaring Hoping for wills to bend A god amongst mortals Or that's what she says Hides behind her throne The downfall of man Lies in the palm of her hand The serpent sheds its skin A mother, a crone Claiming to be much more Shall be dethroned
9.
Farewell Humanity 04:45
lyrics
A cry in the dark After actions unspoken Abruptly fades Before dawn A torch ablaze Seen in the distance It cannot be lost So guiding, mesmerising Farewell humanity The protagonist will scream His hidden secret, ridden by weakness The morning after A sight most terrifying His twisted body, ridden by weakness Finally home Still all alone This hero dives Into a slumber Tomorrow's adventures unknown The end result foreseen Hopefully painless A night most dreamless
