1. Into The Fire

Here we are again, martyrs of the revolution
The countdown of the human pain
Nothing left to burn, witnessing the prosecution
Killing ourselves time and again

Save me! Don't let them take my life from me
Help me! My fears become reality

Into the fire
No need to pray for me
Into the fire
My tears are black so set me free

Hellfire burns again, angels of this constitution
The day of reckoning we'll learn
We're marching to the end, to the final execution
This blackest day, there's no return

Save me! Don't let them take my life from me
Help me! Eternal pain is what I feel

Into the fire
No need to pray for me
Into the fire
My tears are black so set me free


2. Head Up High

You're a dreamer and you live in a world
Of lies full of sinners
You will never understand
You're a great deceiver a result of a system
That's fake and always holds you
Are you really in command?

This is the time to change and make things right
This is the time to make it on your own

You'll never be yourself,
Don't ever lose your pride
Just find out who you are
You keep your head up high

You're not a believer you just go with the flow
Never an achiever
You will suffer in the end
You thing you're a winner but this game you play
Will make you burn in fire
Smile and wake up dead

You're not forever so you're aiming higher
You stumble in every step you take

You'll never be yourself,
Don't ever lose your pride
Just find out who you are
You keep your head up high


3. Mercenary Man
Mama take a look at your boy
Face a man without a soul
He is standing in the doorway
I'll be gone, before the night is over
I have to go, I have to run to the border

Lost my way I run in desperation
Lost the words I lost communication

All I see is death beneath my window
All I need is to heal my broken mind
I will catch my own wounded shadow
Just before we leave it all behind

Mama keep the faith it's alright
Your boy's a mercenary man
A soldier made of steel
A shotgun rings; the wind is calling my name
Fields of gold beneath a blood red sky

Lost my way I run in desperation
Lost the words I lost communication

All I see is death beneath my window
All I need is to heal my broken mind
I will catch my own wounded shadow
Just before we leave it all behind

Just before we leave it all behind


4. Angels Forgive Me

I can remember when I was really blinded by the light
Then everything was black
I fell down wounded
Didn't have the strength to wake my spirit
Couldn't keep my head up high

So much at stake in here, can't turn wine into water

I fall into despair
In one life, in one minute
Everything will change your spirit

No one seems to care
Angels forgive me, there is no return

Had to surrender slowing down my life, it wasn't easy
Trying to rest my bones
But I'm still haunted
By a thousand ghosts, and still I'm drowning
Flashes of the past

So much at stake in here, can't turn wine into water

I fall into despair
In one life, in one minute
Everything will change your spirit

No one seems to care
Angels forgive me, forgive me
I close my eyes


5. Remembered

All my fears are gone since I don't know when
But the path I chose has made me strong

Demons of the past are here
They push for revolution
Trying to manipulate my brain
I found my own solution

I won't crawl for you again
I will never go insane

Do the things you want to do and let your spirit guide you through
In a life worth being remembered
Don't look back you won't regret, forgive, forget and never hate
Isn't it how you want to be remembered?

Through the darkest days don't let anxiety
Embrace your soul just stay awake

Demons tried to tear me down
Start the revelations
My barricades are made of steel
I faced my situations

Do the things you want to do and let your spirit guide you through
In a life worth being remembered
Don't look back you won't regret, forgive, forget and never hate
Isn't it how you want to be remembered?


6. My Loneliness

My loneliness makes you feel insecure
My loneliness will never let you find a cure
My loneliness has no directions for me and you
My loneliness speaks no truth of what you do
Listen to what I say

Turn me in
You're going crazy and I can't stand to feel your tears over me
Turn me in
It's not a crime to feel the way that I do, again and again

My loneliness does not lead you to my core
My loneliness always tell you to ignore
My loneliness, a waste of time if there's no trust
My loneliness is turning everything to dust
Listen to what I say

Turn me in
You're going crazy and I can't stand to feel your tears over me
Turn me in
It's not a crime to feel the way that I do, again and again

No one can save us from this pain
I wish that I could stop the rain
These dark gray skies are closing in

Oh
You're going crazy and I can't stand to feel your tears over me
Turn me in
It's not a crime to feel the way that I do, again and again


7. Circle Of Life

Tears of rage
Have fallen of my face
I cannot hide
My dreams keep holding me tight

To be alive
Is the gift and goal of mankind?
Creative minds
So brave but hard to find

Show no fear, (keep) your head up high
Time goes by and arrows fly

Have I lost my mind?
The truth now shows that I was blind
It made me change my mind
It's the circle of life

Tears of a coward, tears of shame
I found my way, to win this game

Do your best, just stay awake
What you got no one can take

Have I lost my mind?
The truth now shows that I was blind
It made me change my mind
It's the circle of life


8. The Silent Code

Break me, cut me in two
The pain is curving deeper, but I will get through
Don't save me, I've heard it all before
I'm picking up the pieces that I spread all over you

We just obey the silent code
I'm sick and tired
We're floating in an endless flood

And I'll cry for you
And I'll smile for you
I can do what you want
I can be who you want me to be
Won't you set me free?

Hit me, I'm sick of it all
It won't make any difference cause it's not in my control
Steer me, I can't do a thing
I'll follow your direction, and I will obey the call

We just obey the silent code
I'm sick and tired
It's an endless flood

And I'll cry for you
And I'll smile for you
I can do what you want
I can be who you want me to be
Won't you set me free?

I can compromise,
But you must realize that one day
I will break free


9. Maniac

(Instrumental)

10. Life Foreclosed

Dark clouds, on the horizon
Black thoughts, within your mind
Deep within, the cold and darkness
You know it's our time

The world goes on without you
The evil survives
The world bleeds more day by day
No one even tries

Life foreclosed and payment is due
It's the end for me and you
Blood and destruction,Anger's seduction
The earth screams her last cries

We are the destroyers of life
We are the bringers of pain
We are the last ones alive
We know that it's true
Yes, we know that it's true

Endless war, a trait of man
Endless hate, is all we understand
Endless poor, hold out their hands
Endless greed, just turned and ran

And the world looks on
in anguish
At life's suicide

Life foreclosed
Life foreclosed
Life foreclosed
