Anachronisma 05:57
Anachronisma I know life is eternal The spirit never dies Sometimes life is infernal Can you hear their silent cries There’s a whisper in the ruins Dark clouds cover the sky Someone ‘s playin’ a violin In the darkness I hear you sigh Refrain: Come to me Let me see Let me ease your mind You must believe Then you can conceive Or you’re lost in time Now forget all your sorrows Just lay down and be still There the sun comes on the morrow And it shines as it always will Refrain: You can be whatever you just want to be If only you believe you can reach the stars You can move any mountain, there’s no need to flee You must go your own way, no matter how far You can be whatever you just want to be You can be whatever you just want to be Refrain:

I Am Not 05:56
I Am Not I’m not your drudge I’m not your anxoius prey I’m not your property I’m not here to please you anyway I’m not evil I’m not crude or vicious I’m not the devil you curse And I’m not superstitious Refrain: I am not (I’m not the reason why) I am not (I’m not the reason why) I am not (I’m not the reason why) I am not (No! Not at all) I’m not your fall guy I’m not your bloody fool I’m not your scapegoat And I am not your mere tool I’m not a menace I’m not the one you slam I’m not a victim I am not your sacrificial lamb Refrain: I’m not afraid to say what’s on my mind I’m not the one who’s sick and tired of you I’m not guilty Sure I’m not innocent I’m not weak And I am not irrelevant I’m not a criminal I’m not a terrorist I’m not the enemy And I am not the anti christ

Cold Silence 06:05
Cold Silence I adjourn to my living room This little house is the world to me I Have some rare plants and they bloom Enjoy to see them while I have my tea I feel so lost and hopeless when you’re around I feel much better when you leave … and there’s no sound Refrain: In this cold silence I live alone In this cold silence peaceful is my home In this cold silence I feel so safe In this cold silence I can be so brave It’s late at night, I still lie awake So many thoughts running thru my head This heart is empty but I feel the ache Sometimes I really wish that I was dead I feel so small and helpless when you’re around I feel much better when you leave… without a sound Refrain: In this cold silence I cry alone In this cold silence lonely is my home In this cold silence I feel so safe In this cold silence I can be so brave In my dreams everything’s so new People think that I go insane What they say really is not true All is lost, all is so in vain And I still feel the pain Refrain:

Bitter Sweet 08:32
Bitter Sweet Walking thru the wilderness along the river blue Between the trees, in the grass so green there I found you Your hair was black, your skin so white your open eyes so cold Gave your beauty and your holiness for jewellry of gold A purple ribbon wrapped around your thoat A piece of paper with words that someone wrote „You’re the one I love, you mean so much to me“ Where’s the dignity? Dead eyes stare at me What happend to her lovliness? Where is serenity? Skin silky-smooth, lips cherry red So beautiful to see In these arms she felt so warm Her love was pure and sweet She was the princess of my dreams Now she’s left as rotten meat A purple ribbon wrapped around her thoat A piece of paper with words that I wrote „You’re the one I love, you mean so much to me“ Where’s the dignity that there used to be? Bitter sweet

Fear 05:21
Fear You live your life in sorrow, hiding from the day You love the sound of silence, you stare and turn away You think you are the one who’s suffering in pain This feeling deep inside is driving you insane Your heart is running faster Your eyes are open wide Awaiting your disaster But they lied Fear – Your fear – It’s just fear – Your Fear We’re fighting all the world, against the time We’re rushing through the days, hanging on the line We’re killing to survive, but what do we know? Lost people everywhere watching the show Our hearts are running faster Our eyes are open wide Awaiting new disaster But the TV lied Fear – Our fear – It’s just fear – Our fear Close your eyes, don’t be afraid Fear – My fear – It’s just fear – My fear Fear – Your fear – It’s just fear – Your Fear Fear – Our fear – It’s just fear – Our fear It’s my fear

The Human Factor You caught my eye, with your beauty and grace You are the perfect picture of the inhuman race But you feel and cry just like me You even bleed and die just like me The human factor The human factor I watch you on the catwalk, a goddess in white I see you on the screen, in the magazine But you sleep and breathe just like me Even lie and deceive just like me The human factor The human factor

Still Silent 07:01
Still Silent The sound of silence swaying in the air But still the screams echo in my ear A silent whisper haunts me everywhere Even in my dreams it feeds my fear We bleed in anger, as we sing our lullaby We don’t know the truth, we cannot see We watch and wonder, while the rivers are running dry A thousand shadows hanging over me We all see what we wanna see We ignore what is true but cannot be What’s illusion? What’s reality? It all seems so strange to me We’re still silent In this lonely world there’s a growing coldness and decay The scars will always linger, the wounds they cannot heal A last decision, when there’s nothing left to say Free your mind, come and tell me what you feel We all see what we wanna see We ignore what is true but must not be What’s illusion? What’s reality? It all seems so strange to me We’re still silent We all see what we wanna see We ignore what is true but shall not be What’s illusion? What’s reality? It all seems so strange to me We’re still silent

Life In The Shadows My life is a misery It’s a fuckin’ distaster Can someone get me outa here? Life in the shadows Life in the shadows Life in the shadows There is no life My life is a tragedy It’s an endless theatre of pain Would you kill me if I say please? Life in the shadows Life in the shadows Life in the shadows There is no love There’s a child in the mirror staring at me There’s a shadow that is me Lost in the cold darkness Help me! My life is a drama I really wanna die Will it ever end? Life in the shadows Life in the shadows Life in the shadows Life in the shadows Life in the shadows Life in the shadows Life in the shadows There is no life

The Inner Path Life ‘s a path full of pain and despair If you see it that way Change your mind, see the truth, love is there You ‘ll receive when you pray Refrain: From the heart you’ll be forgiven In the world you built and live in From the heart you shall be driven Feel the fire burnin’ within Life is short and the end always near Take your chance while you can Find yourself and it all becomes clear Start where it all began Refrain:

Eternal Winter In this world full of anger I’m searching for a place where I can stay Shadows locked up in a chamber Hiding from a world with skies of grey In this world full of violence Immorality and decay There’s a place of peace and silence If I open up my heart, I’ll find the way Refrain: Eternal winter Lost in the maze Eternal winter These are solitary days There’s face in the fractured mirror There’s a shadow in the twilight of my mind There’s a whisper and it’s getting clearer There’s a ghost who is somewhere lost in time I am lonely, I am helpless, I am bound To the ruins of a long forgotten dream A king without a kingdom who has lost his crown Come and tell me how can I escape from this scheme Refrain: Can I return to the one that I loved so dearly and true? My memories fade, is it too late to find you? Refrain:
