"Wisdom Of Wind"

"Wisdom Of Wind"

Blue skies, rivers of gold
Bring to my heart
The stories of old
I remember the way to begin

Lead by all my grace
And a brave hand of peace
The air will lift us, our hearts a gift as
We feel the release

The breaking of dawn
I see the wind and the breeze
Will carry us home,
Joining us all in unified love

The sweetness of peace
More precious than gold,
The tender compassion
That gives elation as we behold

Break of dawn is coming,
With wisdom, wind and breeze,
Touching on the seas.

So here in our hearts
lay way to our home
Where all find comfort,
Blue skies, rivers of gold

The sweetness of peace
More precious than gold,
The tender compassion
That gives elation as we behold

Break of dawn is coming,
With wisdom, wind and breeze,
Touching on the seas.

So here in our hearts
lay way to our home
Where all find comfort,
Blue skies, rivers of pure gold

"Anteroom Of Death"
(feat. Van Canto)

"Anteroom Of Death"
(feat. Van Canto)
Two faced drama rebellion
Are you the Joker, King or Queen?
Place your cards as they're coming
Came to win, lost everything
Gambling riders pull the strings
Pull them tighter, let them in

Come and play another day
Throw your mask away
I don't care what you say
'Cause your lovely words decay
Come and play another day
Welcome to the anteroom of death

Hide your conspiracies so
Who's got the keys and who has not?
Sell your fortune to me
'Cause I can still read behind all that
Burn your fingers, trade a dream
Watch the clock as it's ticking

Come and play another day
Throw your mask away
I don't care what you say
'Cause your lovely words decay
Come and play another day
Welcome to the anteroom of death

Blinded in the dark
I'm touching the scars of tainted hearts
If you're searching, learn to see
Honesty is all you need
Take a bow, finally

Come and play another day
Throw your mask away
I don't care what you say
'Cause your lovely words decay
Come and play another day
Welcome to the anteroom of death

"Until My Last Breath"

"Until My Last Breath"
Cannot cry it loud enough
I'm giving up this ghost
How can I still justify
When you deny my voice?
In this nothing I am not allowed
I just follow alone
Words as weapons without a sound
Echoes dying unborn

[Chorus:]
Until my last breath
You'll never know
Until you feel the silence
When I am gone
Now it's vanishing
Everything
What we might have been
Only now you praise
Call my name that you won't see again

Who can change this memory?
Inside it needs to burn
Worship by the enemy
The guilty take their turns
Watching as it's disappearing
Shadows all that remain
Wishes slowly crossing over
In this parade of pain

[Chorus x2]

Until my last breath you'll never know
Until you feel the silence when I am gone
Now it's vanishing, everything what we might have been
Only now you praise, call my name that you won't see again

"I Feel Immortal"

"I Feel Immortal"

Whenever I wake up
I'm lost and always afraid
It's never the same place
I close my eyes to escape
The walls around me

And I drift away
Inside the silence
Overtakes the pain
and in my dreams

I feel Immortal
I am not scared
No, I am not scared
I feel immortal
When I am there
When I am there

Whenever I wake up
The shards of us cut within
Always the same day
Frozen all in the fringe
I surrender to the sleep
And leave the hurt behind me
There's no more death to fear
and in my dreams

I feel Immortal
I am not scared
No, I am not scared
I feel immortal
When I am there
When I am there

So far or right beside me
So close but they can't find me
Slowly, time forgets me
I'm only, only dreaming

I feel Immortal
I am not scared
No, I am not scared
I feel immortal
When I am there
When I am there

I feel immortal
and I am not scared

"In For A Kill"

"In For A Kill"

Where do you go from here? It's dragging you under
Nothing could be more clear, when you are the hunter
Is that a dream to die for? A prize, you keep it out of the light

Nothing can shine, left in the dark, far from their eyes
Under black water there is no halo, only the hunger
And you're in for a kill

You and your twisted minds it's making us shiver
How can we be so blind, the fear you deliver
It's all a grand illusion, a trick you keep it out of the light

Nothing can shine, left in the dark, far from their eyes
Under black water there is no halo, only the hunger
And you're in for a kill

 

[Shadow Hunter]

"Underneath"

"Underneath"

Even in my darkest times
Overcome with worry
Find the comfort in the storm
No reason to be sorry
Look inside for a place to hide
All around the faithless wait full of expectations
They will never see the beauty in the imperfections
The more I show
The less they know

Out of reach
Underneath
Learned to breath
Underneath
Something inside of me
Invisible turning the fragile
Unbreakable
But they cannot take away
They cannot take away
What I believe
You cannot take away
Cannot take away
What's underneath

Every little cut runs deep
Masked in my tomorrow
Bringing wisdom that I need for all the time I borrow
My other side is left behind

Out of reach
Underneath
Learned to breath
Underneath
Something inside of me
Invisible turning the fragile
Unbreakable
But they cannot take away
They cannot take away
What I believe
You cannot take away
Cannot take away
What's underneath

 

[Shadow Hunter]

"Little Lies"

"Little Lies"

Take my faith with an open hand and warm embrace
My confidant
Use my words
Take the good away and leave the worst to sell me out

Little lies
Little lies
Making up tragedies
Nothing is what it seems
Who cares what is real
Little lies
Little lies
Only to entertain
The message is the same for those who believe

Feed the flames
Empty wishes with no room to blame
My sacrifice
Deep inside
There is nothing left to stand behind
But

Little lies
Little lies
Making up tragedies
Nothing is what it seems
Who cares what is real
Little lies
Little lies
Only to entertain
The message is the same for those who believe

Little Lies
Little lies
Nothing is what it seems

 

[Shadow Hunter]

"Rivers Of Lust"

"Rivers Of Lust"

Violent hands come at midnight
Hold me down
I can't make a sound
In their arms
Still unwanted
Crave the child
Be forever wiled

Stranger, danger
Release me

Mercy's hiding
It let me go
Hurts to know
Mercy's watching
Watching me drowning
In rivers of lust

Morning sun
Break the shelter
Turn back time
Wash away my crime

Betrayer, slayer
Release me

Mercy's hiding
It let me go
Hurts to know
Mercy's watching
Watching me drowning
In rivers of lust

Found at noon
Clutching still the stone

"Dark Star"
(feat. Phil Labonte)

"Dark Star"
(feat. Phil Labonte)
Burning out in the distance you're falling
Starting to fade
Light is condemned to be tied down by gravity close to the end
Do you still remember?
Before the weight that pulled you under
Dared you to rise

Where are you now?
Are you proud of the life you wasted?
Wearing the crown of illusion you created
You'll never know what it feels like to shine
You're the master in your own mind
But a slave to all
You are a dark star

Empty
Is never enough
You keep clawing for what you can't reach
Smothering space filled without any grace and I can't breathe
Nothing lasts forever
Even the stars will loose their luster returning to dust

Where are you now?
Are you proud of the life you wasted?
Wearing the crown of illusion you created
You'll never know what it feels like to shine
You're the master in your own mind
But a slave to all
You are a dark star

"Falling Awake"
(feat. Joe Satriani)

"Falling Awake"
(feat. Joe Satriani)
Phantom voices with no words to follow
At the mercy of the cold and hollow
I withdrew into my sanctuary of silence
My defence

In this moment I am just becoming
Liberated from my cell of nothing
No sensation there was only breathing
Overcome oblivion

Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I am Falling
I am falling awake

Waves of melodies once forgotten
like a symphony across the ocean
Never knew that they could hear my calling
deep within
crashing in
rushing in
like falling

Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I am Falling
I am falling awake

There is no returning to that emptiness,
loneliness
The dream that lives inside of me
won't fade away, it's wide awake

Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I am Falling
I am falling awake
