A Few Days Make Eternity
04:45

Can you wipe the tears?
Can you leave it all behind?
Can you see through the night and find the distant light?
Can you face yourself?
Can you face your faceless pride?
Can you now tear inside the feeling of the blind?
You’re on your way now
There’s no return from where you go
The hands of time are growing weak
All your life, led astray
All your words did not rhyme, hours caught out of time
Take the time, fly away
Strength is all that you need
For your life to escape from that dream
Can you face the dark?
Can you face another lie?
Can you now hope to try, it seems your will has died
Can it be for real?
Can you replace your long lost pride?
Is it another fear or just the cape of night?
You’re on your way now
There’s no return from where you go
The hands of time are growing weak
All your life, led astray
All your words did not rhyme, hours caught out of time
Take the time, fly away
Strength is all that you need
For your life to escape from that dream
All your life, led astray
All your words did not rhyme, hours caught out of time
Take the time, fly away
Strength is all that you need
For your life to escape from that dream
For the curtain has fallen tonight
But the lies that you swallowed have… not
Some days from your past
Forever will last
Now maybe you see
A few days make eternity

Beyond Eternal
07:25
|
|||
|
Sail away, dream away, end to start...
Empty space, worn out face, empty heart
Sailing away
Feeling the sorrows bringing back the pain again
A try beyond my reach, a promise that remains
For pale is now my death, my betrayed life ignores me
From wicked dreams I dream, I think I know the man I used to be
Scream by scream and pain by pain life doesn’t seem the same
Left alone to play my part, watching, always hiding in the dark
Something’s dragging me back in the dark
Far beyond eternal
And God;
God, I think I can’t stand in the light
When I’m face to face with myself
I can’t hide
A shade away from light, a lifeless face to own
Will I endure this now, this shadow on the wall?
Taking a look inside the mirror, what can I see?
My face is slowly changing, scar by scar, I see a man, not me
Scream by scream and pain by pain life doesn’t seem the same
Left alone to play my part, watching, always hiding in the dark
Something’s dragging me back in the dark
Far beyond eternal
And God;
God, I think I can’t stand in the light
When I’m face to face with myself...
I’m dreaming, I’m slipping, away from all I’m seeing
Repealing, revealing, all seem to reoccurring
Slipping away, beneath the stars, inside the haze
Recounting, refunding, the price for sins is lasting
Forsaken, forgotten, the dice is thrown, I’m broken
Fading away in seas of light, burning the day inside my heart
Hide in the dark;
Something’s dragging me back in the dark
Far beyond eternal
And God;
God, I think I can’t stand in the light
When I’m face to face with myself
I can’t hide
Dream away, dream a way... empty heart, not enough

Anywhere

I open the book and I turn the pages
Looking now for something new in my life
But the scars inside my soul still remain
And the pain will cut me, like a knife
I’m praying to God for just another sign
Just another sign
Searching for all the feelings that I keep
And you feel
Nothing is shown again, it's the end
Till the end
But I still know I’m in too deep
All the way to anywhere, all my life
I can travel with you
All the way, to nowhere
I will die without you
I look at my teardrops falling on the floor
Closer to the floor
The sky above me is filled with clouds again
A stain of gray
I die inside to show you the only truth
The one you choose
So as to be released from this pain… no
All the way to anywhere, all my life
I can travel with you
All the way, to nowhere
What would you do?
I would die without you
So I open my eyes, in the mirror I gaze
Can you now understand if it’s really your face?
There are many varieties in your dark reflections
And all is made as I’m falling from grace
All the way, to anywhere
A journey back to you
All the way, the way to nowhere else
Just to be with you
Die without you

Pale Moonlight
05:34
|
|||
|
Walking alone under a pale moonlight
Down the path beneath the ruins of my life
All of my time, I'm searching inside
Forgotten chords from tunes I used to hide
Where there is love I am lying
Where there is hate I am crying
And when I pray for a chance to survive
I'm losing my time
Spending my tears for feeding my fears
Reckoning nightmares of lost childhood years
Just pretending there is not much to find
Staring shadows controlling my mind
Where there is love I am lying
Where there is hate I am crying
And when I pray for a chance to survive
I'm losing my time
Trapped inside a cage
It seems like the end of my quest
The sinners are skipping the test
The angels are burning the sky
Watch my season fades
There’s no time for me left to rest
The sun will arise from the west
The whole world is turning to be… a lie
I'm left alone under the pale moonlight
Where there is love I am lying
Where there is hate I am crying
And when I pray for a chance to survive
I'm losing my time
Trapped inside a cage
It seems like the end of my quest
The sinners are skipping the test
The angels are burning the sky
Watch my season fades
There’s no time for me left to rest
The sun will arise from the west
The whole world is turning to be… a lie
You're not alone… under the pale moonlight
I'm on my own… where there is love I am lying
You're not alone… under the pale moonlight
I'm on my own… where there is hate I am crying for more
No, you’re not alone!

Society
04:13
|
|||
|
Changing of seasons, sorrow stays inside
And my life means nothing, oh why must we die?
Exploiting millions, is there a way to survive?
My ways to end are endless, life rolls from my cry
Lost without a fight
I accept my loss and then
Searching for a lie
To apologize again
Love is gone
My society fell
Left ignored and alone
The cornerstone of my own hell
A glance at my childhood, in a fragile dream
Last night to remember; it’s useless to try… why?
In every hour and every moment that lives
My life is ending; born, suffer and die
Lost without a fight
I accept my loss and then
Searching for a lie
To apologize again
Love is gone
My society fell
Left ignored and alone
The cornerstone of my own hell
Lost without a fight
I accept my loss and then
Searching for a lie
To apologize again
Love is gone
My society fell
Left ignored and alone
So far away from home
Someone please give me a hope
God, just take away all my pain

Come back my friend, don't run away
Stand by my side this final day
From dusk till dawn my eyes awake
I stood beside you all the way
I am the last you will betray
Your will is gone, your love was fake
So many years, I’ve lost my way
A life out of trace…
Lost all my days
I lived my life in shades of gray
For all the promises I gave, I lied to me
In so many ways
I’ve seen enough, not much to say
For all seemed fake to me
Those strange illusions in your mind
If you wake up what will you find?
This play is going on and on
I had a home, her close to me
I had so much, I could not see
Why is this lasting for so long?
Dry out your tears, no chance to pray
You fell from grace…
Lost all my days
I lived my life in shades of gray
For all the promises I gave, I lied to me
In so many ways
I’ve seen enough, not much to say
For all seemed fake to me
See my soul, to me is blind
Hear my hopes, my dying pride
Burn the dawn and curse the light of day
Lost all my days
I lived my life in shades of gray
For all the promises I gave, I lied to me
In so many ways
I’ve seen enough, not much to say
For all seemed fake to me… to me

Far beyond promises I fly
I guess some things will never die
I let the silence speak for me my friend
Sometimes it helps me to forget
What seems bygone sure it’s not dead
Don’t run away just take my hand instead
Don’t run away…

Fake Reality
04:56
|
|||
|
The streets are full of people, all are somehow mad
Watch them as they run, but their faces are sad
Dirty rotten world, is the world that we live in
Pollution destroys everything, we face the Dyers Eve
Like a puppet show our lives
Who knows the next day?
In this time of emptiness
Is this the price we must pay?
The sun in this storm is arising (Drying tears off our face)
The voices we howled without sound (Hell no)
We cried without tears, screamed all our fears
(This nightmare's) Black in our minds, for reality lies
Bombs are now falling, this isn’t in our dreams
Watch the people dying; now you can hear their screams
Savages may follow, the silent mans word
Leading to another life, into a brave new world
Can we still forgive the false?
Do we know what to say?
This is the time of hopeless men
This is the price we must pay
The sun in this storm is arising (Drying tears off our face)
The voices we howled without sound (Hell no)
We cried without tears, screamed all our fears
(This nightmare's) Black in our minds, for reality lies… and lies, lies…
Still a puppet show our lives
They know what comes next day
Live this time of emptiness
And this is the price we must pay
The sun in this storm is arising (Drying tears off our face)
The voices we howled without sound (Hell no)
We cried without tears, screamed all our fears
(This nightmare's) Black in our minds, for reality lies
In this fake reality, we still can make our stand
Fake reality, we now must understand
Fake reality, retracing all our fears
Still recounting down our years

Ivory Tower
09:54
|
|||
|
Frozen fears inside these walls
Of those endless sacred fates
In this purgatory of sins
Where all innocence fades
Never-ending way out
For this helpless blind to see;
No more than dreams
Some dreams of a doubt… of a doubt… for a doubt
Words of freedom hidden inside tears
Sacrifice of souls, committed in weird fears
Walls move closer, thoughts that came to stay
Images of sorrows, pictures from a new dull day
Howls inside the night
Darkness search for light
All that once was evil fades away
Searing sounds of raindrops, while lions chase their prey
Dreams over some awkward bright blue skies
Helpless dark illusions of sanctuaries where nothing dies
Walls of ice and snow
Dark inside this show
Sands of time are taking back the day
Forsaken dreams in trade
Retracing some tears that were fake
For all the sins are paid
And lost in this ivory tower of fortune and fate
Now, is it too late?
This journey counts night after night
No ocean left with points of light
Horizon’s shining by starlight
Pointing on all uncertain fight
On and on, on to revenge’s trace
Forsaken dreams in trade
Retracing some tears that were fake
For all the sins are paid
And lost in this ivory tower of fortune and fate
All lives left betrayed
- Frozen fears… inside my head.
- Good evening, Steven.
- Yeah, what do you want?
- Interesting question… how about “everything”?
- I guess you don’t have to ask me about that ‘cause I’m on the verge of losing everything…
- Self-pity is for the weak…
If you’re looking for sympathy, you better turn away!
- And then you’ll turn away too…
Isn’t that ironic?
- Like a broken record… the same phrase, over and over again.
You don’t have a life, do you?
- I used to!
Genius is what they were calling me… before the storm…
- It was only for a few days, Steven…
- But no regrets!
- No regrets?
- A few days… make eternity!
Bright eyes - tears are falling
Word’s spilled, are people now seeking the light?
Mind’s whirled - lies are growing
Deceit, this technical utopia
Fortress that illuminates the dark
Seven for creation, seven are the sins to mark
Time has been forgotten, all is lost
The tale has finally ended, without a simple count of cost
Right is turning wrong
Sirens sing their song
Shadows dancing in a red moonlight
Forsaken dreams in trade
Retracing some tears that were fake
For all the sins are paid
Lost in this ivory tower of fortune...
And lost in this ivory tower of fortune and fate
All sinners awake
Frozen fears inside my walls…
