Compelled to speak when not to speak
My words lead & I follow
I must talk or else I'm weak
Let no one know my shell's hollow
False world created
I just watch it come to life
Your faith's my weapon
And your trust by my side
Lost all my senses
Can't feel, can't hear, I'm
Blinded
Lost all my senses
Emotionally numb
Blinded
Nothing's sacred & no one's safe
I'm feeding on denial
Getting careless soon bound to fail
Fooled by my own betrayal
Are you lost in fury?
Fearing to fail
Are you aching for vengeance?
And got lost on the way
Are you hiding your anger?
Fearing truth will prevail
Ashamed of the present
And what you've become today
False world created...
Lost all my senses...

I've tried it all
It's gone too far
And worst of all
Is the promise that I can't keep
I have emptied every source
I have learned all there is to know
To stand by as you wither
To watch your spirit drain
I just wish that hope could last forever
Last forever
So here we are...
The end of your days
So here we are
I have lost, I have failed
My promise not kept and I'm sorry
I have emptied every source
I have learned all there is to know
So here we are
Holding hands at the end of days
Your eyes slowly shut
Your hand lets go and I kiss you farewell
Farewell...
So here we are
The end of your days
So here we are
The end of your days
So here we are
I have lost, I have failed
My promise not kept and I'm sorry
So here we are
I promised hope forever but I'm sorry

Time for a breather let it all sink in
A pause from the deceiver and to reach deep within
I close my eyes if only for a second
To let my courage rise
All I need is one more reason
To fail you as you failed me
Waiting for the waves to break
Hoping for the tide to change
Embracing the awaiting aim
Believing more than ever
Believing more than ever
I've tried to many times to leave you
Just as many times as I've cried to see you
Every road has it's end and my ends here
And so does my faith
solo: Danhage / Englund
Waiting for the waves to break
Hoping for the tide to change
Embracing the awaiting aim
Believing more than ever
Believing more than ever
Believing more than ever

Father I've seen her through the window
She's been summoning spirits
She's brought a curse on us all
And for that she has to be punished
And I got these voices in my head
Telling me I got to stop her
Cause she speaks to the dead
Darkness casts upon us all
Gone is the light that used to fall
Darkness casts upon us all
Dead is life buried since old
Sorrow voices
I'm being embraced by the dark black hole
Watched you your blasphemy
Your filthy soul must be cleansed by me
I'm your salvation
I'm your christ
But instead of me you'll be crucified
Father
She speaks to the dead
And I'll crave her confession
Cause she speaks to the dead
There she is
Lighting the candles
I'm watching her again
Becoming at one with the shadows
She must be punished
And I am the one
To exorcise the demons
Make sure it's done
Father
She speaks to the dead
And I'll crave her confession
Cause she speaks to the dead

You can't possibly know me
What I feel cause even I don't
A strange sensation of never being lonely
Has made me question the essence of existence
...of life
Are we parts of a puzzle
Small pieces in a major plan
Puppets on a string being run by a master
Formed and shaped like clay
I'm trying but failing unanswered cries unites
The struggling of finding the truth behind the lies
I'm trying they're laughing my rulers of the mind
I'm trying ...I'm trying
Their constant presence deceives me
I can't tell when i'm awake or when i dream
And my hiding is useless
My anxiety reveals me
Gives me away
I'm trying but failing unanswered cries unites
The struggling of finding the truth behind the lies
I'm trying they're laughing my rulers of the mind
I'm trying ...I'm trying...

Will the sun be rising that I wont know
cause light reaches me not
I know I'm aging and that I can't see
In darkness I am fumbling
With these hands as my eyes
Sensitive fingers lead my way
Through this pit of no light
I cried before my gods
I wept for my sins
Blackened dawn
And what kind of god
Would have me deserve this
Blackened dawn
Clouds gathering darkness
The already black sky
Rain starts falling
Soaks the far ground sour ground
Cries from where
Demons inside of me
As the son of eternal night
Wants to become
The son of light
Like a candle someone blew out
The glow is there but slowly fading
The ashes as my soul lies shattered
I cried before my gods
I wept for my sins
Blackened dawn
And what kind of god
Would have me deserve this
Blackened dawn
In the dark of this blackened dawn

Leave the lie you got to find a way
Ask yourself why and give yourself a reason to stay
Leave the lie am I begging in vain
We're all left to fight with why
You're not the same.
solo: Danhage
Left behind we are stranded not free
In silence I cry what went wrong was it me
Led to believe in a truth that was false
Truth built on greed and the faith of the weak
Waking up blind and blind you must be
So stupid of me to believe in your hypocrisy
Gave it all up for life in a dream
So foolish of me to not stop your infidelity
Unfaithful
Unfaithful to life

I place my foot on the first step
That leads me down into my fate
So father please forgive me
As I cannot see it end
I am now up on the table
It trembles under my weight
I wipe away the cold sweat
Close my eyes &...
Falling out of what I know is true
Falling come shelter me as I lie here bleeding
Falling away from what I thought was you
Falling come shelter me as I lie here bleeding
So speak & I listen
I'll take the time to hear you out
So scream & I sure listen
I just need a little time
Gathering the pieces of a stronger me
Helpless weak & battered
My wounds are bleeding
Falling out of what I know is true...
Gathering the pieces...
Falling out of what I know is true...

Strapped in a bed with no clothes
The room has no windows
I try to remember last night
But there's nothing
It is cold and my body starts to shiver
I try to fight it but trying makes me nauseous
I'm having a hard time deciding
If this is where they take me
Where they take me
I'm crawling back to sleep
And i still can't believe
Howcome you lost your faith in me
I spoke with nothing but honesty
I don't recognise the silence
I can feel it the reality of it scares me
Sounds of steps outside
Keys in the door-lock
White robes they're human
I've been misled
I'm crawling back to sleep
And I still can't believe
Howcome you lost your faith in me
I spoke with nothing but honesty
I'm crawling back to sleep
And I still can't believe
Howcome you lost your faith in me
Why did you lose your faith

The sun is back again the day is here
Try to recall try to remember
What night brought upon me this time
There it is I've seen it before recognise the shape
I'm scarred but not sore
Recognise the shape I recognise the shape
I've been marked by the triangle
Screams for answers
Lost beyond control
And I
I try to find a reason
But here I am a hollow soul
Here I am
I've been marked by the triangle
The night has come
It brings the fear
It's never-ending everlasting
What was that sound
Is somebody here
I can sense their presence
The room is getting colder
Screams for answers
Lost beyond control
And I
I try to find a reason
But here I am a hollow soul
Here I am
I've been marked by the triangle
It's getting harder to breath
Please go away
You've already taken my dignity
And what more could you possibly need
The darkness is gone
It's day...
Screams for answers
Lost beyond control
And I
I can't find a reason
So here I am a hollow soul
Here I am
I've been marked by the triangle
. . .

Lord if you don't help I can't get through this
I can't
Lord I'm too old for games
Foolish games
And I'm tired of rhetoric
Meaningless rhetoric
That never changes things
Lord just help me
Help me
I was feeling God's pain
And I've never had anything
That's been any worth to God
In my 50 years
That wasn't born in agony
Never never
Dead...empty...
And I know that sermons won't do it
I know that Revelation won't do it
Covenant won't do it
I know now
Oh my God
Do I know it
Until I hit agony
Until I have been anguished over it
I'm preaching sermons
Oh God
I broke down
And I wept
And I mourned
Does it matter to you at all
I can't handle this
I can barely make it as it is
Little by little
You're losing it
The lamb of God
The love of Christ
People I know that were my friends
And I see them go one by one
Some of my closest friends
You're changing
You know what you were
You're changing
Little by little
Something's happening to you
Will it bring you to your knees
That's all the Devil wants to do
Is get the fight out of you
And kill it
So you won't labor in prayer anymore
You won't weep before God anymore
Go to Hell
No weeping
Not a word of prayer
It's all ruined
No laughing
This is life and death
When the walls go down
And ruin sets in
Where are the tears
Where's the mourning
Where's the confessing
Love of Christ
The agony
Of God's heart
We have sinned...

Relentless I'm speechless
Im fooled by my inner weakness
Enticing Inspiring
Your words were so convincing
Delightful but soulless
Claimed harmless wishes seems less
Exciting
Just frightening
No more dawning days
Only whispers of darkened ways
Forever falling tears
Forever falling
No more screams in vain
No more dreams put to shame
It's only me
Only me
Defenseless and smiling
Her innocence is shining
His own flesh and own blood
His words were so convincing
Delightful so beautiful
Can't stop what he's been told
She's three years old
No more dawning days
Only whispers of darkened ways
Forever falling tears
Forever falling
No more screams in vain
No more dreams put to shame
It's only me who's forever
Falling, sleepwalking, desperate, calling
No more dawning days
Only whispers of darkened ways
Forever falling tears
Lands in the hands of somber fate
solo: Danhage
No more dawning days
No more screams in vain
No more feeling pain
Forever...
Forever...

Her gentle hand in his
Revelation serves as bliss
They walk away from sunshine
Led to believe the lie
His lust for untouched youth
A well kept secret sealed
His every night confession
Reveals the most profane obsession
Their trust is won and fate is conquered
The essence of conviction
Why me ?
I did no wrong
I did not know
You lied to me
I meant no harm
And I am blaming me
Hand in hand down the altar aisle
Her father's presence brings her to a smile
A grand welcome from the assembled crowd
Greeted as the' circles' first child
Undressed to nothing and held to the sky
Her smile is gone and she starts to cry
Desperately seeking her father's eyes
But he sees nothing
He's blind...
Why me ?
I did no wrong
I did not know
You lied to me
I meant no harm
And I am blaming me
Why me ?
You lied to me...
You lied to me ......
solo: Danhage
You lied to me ...
You lied to me ...

Cold is the air that I breath
sleepless
but I don't mind the rain
With fear I strive
but still enjoying the pain
I'm awaiting the dawn
as I welcome the end
If you ever felt the way that I feel
helpless
and help is all you need
In tears you try
but there is no way
no way you can win
Solitude Within
Cold
but I don't mind the rain
Fear of...
My heart is pounding
never so frightened
My body's trembling
I'm dying
Dying
Cold
but I don't mind the rain
Fear of
Being alone again
All I ever wished for
was a vengeance on solitude
And all I ever longed for...
The presence of you
Cold
but I don't mind the rain
Fear of
being alone again
Cold
but I don't mind the rain
fear of
Solitude Within

Where ever you'll go I'll be
Where ever you'll be I'll find you
I am despair
I am the cries of the abandoned child
The pain of the battered beast
The screams of the soul you keep
I am
Nosferatu
I appear as mist and I come as fog
I fall as rain and I rise like dawn
Dawn
I plant dark seeds to harvest...
to harvest the souls
To harvest the souls
Call of your angels or I'll make them stay
My fate is written and I'll make you fall from grace
You must leave your breathing life
Only to be reborn in mine
All the stories you've heard are true
The tales of my darkness too
I am the myth
I am the legend but your father too
I grant you my kingdom son
Don't you long to be what I've become
I invite you in
To live this life of immortal sin
Your birth has made you the chosen one
Your innocence so perfect for a darkened son
You'll live a life where death means no harm
You'll feed on others seduced by your deadly charm
Call of your angels or I'll make them stay
My fate is written and I'll make you fall from grace
You must leave your breathing life
Only to be reborn in mine

One step at a time
Small progress seems futile
But it's as valuable as life
I'm engaged to longing
With sorrow as the ring
Controlling me, denying me
My every morning is in every way
The beginning of a recreation day
The beginning of a recreation...
Time heals, but still the mourning reigns
I still breath when the loss reminds me again
I am here
Life is fear
And sorrow's all I know
Am I in debt cause so it seems
But what I owe,
I don't know
Devoured by guilt and cursed beyond control
My every morning is in every way
The beginning of a recreation day
The beginning of a recreation... (x 2)
(Solo : Englund/Danhage)
My every morning is in every way
The beginning of a recreation day
The beginning of a recreation... (x 2)

Stranded on a shore of no light
The waves brings me sorrow
and with a vision of past in my mind
All I crave is to see you back in life
I call your name
But you wont hear me
I seek your eyes but they wont see
And when I reach for your hands
I realise I can't feel them no more
I see your eyes
I feel your pain
Sailing waters I am drifting inside
The wind brings me sadness
And with a vision of pain in my mind
All I wanted was not to see you die
I call you name
But you wont hear me
I seek your eyes but they wont see
And when I'm burning inside
I hope you're there
Cant you see my tears
I see your crying
And I have tried to forget
You'll always be in my mind
I stare the eyes of a man alone
A man I used to care for
A man I used to know
For every tear that falls
A wound grows bigger
Into my already bleeding soul
If I had only been there
Oh god I wish I could have saved you
I still remember the times we shared
I've tried to keep inside the grief I suffer
I can't believe that I been swept away
Like I never existed
As a part of your life
(Solo: Englund)
I'm still stranded on the shore of no light
And the same wave still brings me sorrow
And I'm drifting yes drifting inside
And my wound grows bigger
For every tear that falls
For every tear that falls

Climbing walls of an endless circle
Walking paths you never heard of
Struggling in an endless battle
Searching far for a higher purpose
Drowning in betrayal's river
The freezing cold will make you shiver
Join the world of greater learning
Crown me king and be my servants
Mislead by beauty
One you rarely find
So loving and friendly
It's one of a kind
Their arms wide open
Willing to take me in
No doubts in choosing
A world free from sin
All the dreams I had
All my future wishes
Put aside for a greater journey
All the things I planned
Left my friends so coldly
Put aside for a higher...
Mislead by beauty
One you rarely find
So loving and friendly
It's one of a kind
A single army
A united "one"
A touch of blessing
Which cannot be undone
Drowning in betrayals river
The freezing cold will make you shiver
Join the world of greater learning
Crown me king and be my servants
All the dreams I had
All my future wishes
Put aside for a greater journey
All the things I planned
Left my friends so coldly
Put aside for a higher purpose
All the dreams I had ...

Look at me
And tell me if there's something
Strange you see
Am I special - something's wrong
can't be the only one
Talk to me stare me in the eyes
And say you know it too
It really doesn't matter
I know your fear - seen it all
The truth
We are all a part of
Forced to live within
A conspiracy for ages
The masterplan
Tell you about my theory
Cleanse myself from secrecy
Prove it's not all fantasies
All to live in decency
My quest for answers
The truth of what lies behind
The search is over
And I'm in shock of what I've found
We are all a part of
Forced to live within
A conspiracy for ages
The masterplan
We are all a part of
Forced to live within
A conspiracy for ages
The masterplan
