After Dark 03:18
On a hill wind dances in a head Plays with chains in broken cage He was born to fly away He was born to live in excess Distant brothers Absent fathers That you never have With glass in a hand Distant brothers Absent fathers That you never had With glass in a hand This blaze in a soul Pushes us up Builds us all Makes all of us crawl And no one ain’t listening And no one ain’t sleeping Since these shackles are missing No one will listen to you All from hill stays unknown I’ve seen it then and before Everything fades except the hate Metal here was always black, maybe light was a bit brighter Distant brothers Absent fathers That you never had With glass in a hand This blaze in a soul Pushes us up Builds us all Makes all of us crawl And no one ain’t listening And no one ain’t sleeping Since these shackles are missing No one will listen to you No one could choose anything Anything even hell Even, even hell Even, even hell Even, even hell

Shattered 03:20
All my life All my life I was forced to run Left us on this (oh baby) Temporal necessity of the time Time is walking by my eyes Weaves in a being of the rest Till this blood is pumping in my head Dripping from the fingers Like as you know, like a crystal water Baby I'm afraid of time Could you hear me baby I'm afraid of my life Tell me baby, does it take what it owns? Rush Blood flows in time Blood flows in time Blood flows in time In circles we run To the dead end we run Oh boy It doesn't matter for all (oh baby) It doesn't matter for those, who remain in time Time is walking by my eyes Weaves in a being of the rest Till this blood is pumping in my head Dripping from these fingers Like as you know, like a crystal water Baby I'm afraid of time Could you hear me baby I'm afraid of my life You're acting like you're something oh But now it's gone Rush Blood flows in time Blood flows in time Blood flows in time Blood flows in time Until it shatters me Until it shatters me Until it shatters me In the end it shatters us all

Oh what a waste of time and meaning Erase that grin, you, stupid face Feel that failure and feel the lack Admit you’re pointless, and it has no end All remains the same In a shadow of nothing All remains the same In a shadow of nothing Enthusiastic fear sputtered All over chessboard continuously Fallen figures are outer it Waiting patiently Under the silhouette on dark scene Making moves that will make you lose Feel the failure, feel the lack Admit you’re pointless and it has no end Enten – Eller Regret it or undeniably All remains the same In a shadow of nothings

Blood on hands Reminds me of all that actual sins That’ve been committed by me here They call me throat cutter I’m a soul eater And a body reaper and so on and so on and so Dear God c’mon and hate me Oh where this hatred came from Dear God c’mon and hate me Oh where this hatred came from I’d like to see that fate tears you apart I’ll be happy to see that life devour you all I’d like to see that fate tears you apart I’ll be happy to see that life devour you all On your knees Praise me more All of those giving hands For me it’s nothing at all All on your knees Praise me more All of those giving hands For me it’s nothing at all Cracking bones Let’s crave some meat Chewing your skin Under my teeth A monster, that’s crouching In an awkward position In the corner of the dark room, Slowly digesting all of my enemies, trying to exercise demons of your mind I’m a slowly dying animal, making last breathe Dear God c’mon and hate me Oh where this hatred came from Dear God c’mon and hate me Oh where this hatred came from Oh well you so like it, And I can’t live without that Oh well you so love me, And I can’t live without love To see that fate tears you apart I’ll be happy to see that life devour you all I’d like to see that fate tears you apart I’ll be happy to see that life devour you all On your knees Praise me more All of those giving hands For me it's nothing at all And I can’t deny, that All of those hands That carry me on Were a delicious final spot On your knees Praise me more All of your giving hands For me it's nothing at all, nothing at all

Lightshafts 02:59
Break out the light through a shimmering night In drunken lust is burning forgotten desires Forgotten desires and it appears in smoke clouds Easily came, basely gone Lying on black cold stones Feeling all sense of the words I’m rolling the dice And counting sunsets Under shafts of light Running through the time Take a chance, my oh mine My dear darkness till the end We’re here standing in a scream Appears in smoke clouds Easily came but basely gone Lying on black cold stones Feeling all sense of the words Rolling the dice, yeah Counting sunsets, yeah All the sunsets, yeah Are just shafts of light, yeah And I am running through the time, running through the time It's alright, cause in my eyes glimpses all of the lights From the burning spires, from the burning spires It's alright, I’m running from the time, running from the time Rolling the dice, yeah Counting sunsets, yeah All the sunsets, yeah Are just shafts of light
