Every night, she stays at home, waiting for him
All she ever wanted was a fragment of his love
Every night, he goes on stage, chasing the dream
Still, he spends every surreal second thinking of her

I know we used to have it all figured out
Can't blame you for feeling deserted and alone
And I know I promised you a lot of things
But I can no longer

ALL OF MY LIFE, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU
TO FILL THE VOID INSIDE OF ME
EVEN IF THERE'S 10,000 MILES BETWEEN US
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THE ONE CLOSEST TO MY HEART

I managed to bolster the defense of my heart
A bit too dense, a bit too strong for my own good
But you saw the small glitch in the solid ice wall
And somehow, you scaled it up and made your way in

Don't you see, this is not the reckoning
Of the undoing of all we built up

Don't you see, this is not the reckoning
Of the undoing of all...

I'll write it into lyrics
'Cause I couldn't put it into words
It ruined a lot for me
Never meant to... to hurt you
Never meant to cause you any pain
But we both know how the story goes

. . .


You are an inspiration to us all
Armed with your plastic sword
A narrow mind and limited brain capacity
What I don't understand is
Why you revere a guy
Who's lacking an eye and never really existed

TELL ME, WHERE'S THE SENSE IN THIS?
WHY CAN'T YOU OPEN YOUR MINDS
TELL ME, WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?
LOSE-LOSE SITUATION
MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE THE ONES
WHO SACRIFICED AN EYE
TO GAIN THE WISDOM YOU SO BADLY REQUIRE

I feel for you, God of War
Your fairer expenses must be insane
With the mount you got in your garage
Don't you get me wrong
'Cause I am still impressed
By the bastardization between a horse and a spider

Your savage agitation won't break us
Can't break us
Just sit tight
And watch our power grow stronger

Time to feed the wolves
And open the hell-gate
Take a bullet for your team
And smile on your way down
Like captains of war
Following our orders down to hell
With no one but ourselves on our side

. . .


A fugitive from unreality
No sign of my goddamned serenity
Lost in these barren lands
That have nothing I demand
Had to look for something new
And that day, I found you

LIVING IN A HOUSE OF CARDS
WAITING FOR IT ALL TO FALL
HOPE FOR THE BEST; PREPARE FOR THE WORST
THAT'S WHAT MY LIFE IS ALL ABOUT

A quasar from reality
With damaged mentality
I'll start editing your life
Replace the captain of your brain ship
Before we set sail for the fail

My destiny outruns me
And I can't find that key
To lock up everything that's bad inside of me
Don't you disagree
That your life would be so much better
Without me, that isn't hard to see

. . .


I see the world through eyes of desperation
Never knew how long I'd fall
But I fell through years and years of darkness
Still, I cannot seem to hit the ground

I let my guard down
And you caught me by surprise
Nothing is ever carved in stone

WILL I SPEND MY LIFE WONDERING
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
IF I DIDN'T THROW IT AWAY
OR WILL I STRUGGLE ON
AND FIND A BETTER PATH FOR MYSELF

I've built my life upon decades of experience
But what I built for years took days for you to raze
In the end, I learned that one single snowflake
Can set an avalanche in motion

Some questions are dangerous
The truth is not an option
This is the illusion
I pulled down over your eyes

But I let my guard down
And you caught me by surprise
Nothing is ever carved in stone

I secure my every step
Slowly, I advance away from you
How can I forgive you
When it wasn't your fault?

. . .


This is the verity
For a lot of you
And how you always stand
From the outside, looking in
Now, did you ever feel you are so open-minded
That you don't really belong anywhere
Well, I've been there, too

Why are these vultures circling over me
I'm not dead yet
Used silence as a language for too long
This is where we make our stand
The wounds at my back begin to heal
Our enemy outnumber us three to one
But still, we fight on

SOMEONE HAS TO BUILD
EVEN IF IT'S SEVERE
A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE WORLDS
WE SHOULDER IT FOR YOU
ALL BORDERS WILL BE REMOVED
TO CREATE A BETTER EXISTENCE

I spent two years
To figure out myself
I say, it's your time, now
Your time to rise
This isn't your only choice
But your best choice
Refuse to stay put and watch this cancer grow
Until it explodes, we must interfere
Before the shit hits the fan

This goes out to all you people
Who have been mistreated and abused
For what you believe in
This song is for you

The only freedom you'll ever get
Is your own mind and thoughts
Even if tyrants try to hold you down,
They can never take that away from you

. . .


I really doubt this is the right side of the force
You better grab onto some hope
'Cause you are going to need it as we go
Keep on fighting ignorance with even more ignorance
You'll see that sometimes the hand of fate must be forced

And we are under the gun
A bullet with our name on
Don't know where to run
Just see a dead end

Let's sing to the anthem of the last days
There's no turning back
Let's sing together now for the last time

THERE WON'T BE ANY REVOLUTION
IF WE DON'T USE OUR GIFT
WE HAVE TO COME TO A CONCLUSION:
A POWER SHIFT

How many times did God fall asleep on the job?
I do find a lot of errors in his blueprints
Humanity being the biggest flaw
Like an inverted King Midas
We turn everything we touch to shit

I cannot see how my own world turned alien to me
Release me from these shackles
And I'll be the first to cross the line
Will it be different on the other side?

. . .


I used to be someone
But I grew to be something that I'm not
It feels like I'm cornered
By everything that you really want
Why are we here in this same old room....

WE STAND HERE WITH DAMAGED HOPE
BUT STILL, WE CARRY ON
WE BOTH KNOW AND ALWAYS WILL
IT CANNOT END LIKE THIS
WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO

It is kind of hard
To look back on all the good times
And realize nothing
Will ever be like it used to be

I wish you were someone I can only disengage
You opened a lot of doors in me, but just closed a few
You're both the poison and the antidote
Is my best not good enough for you?

They didn't build Rome in a day
We just need to ride out this storm

. . .


Weaving another web of lies around me
Leaving an endless trail of pain behind me

I don't deserve the love you give to me
How to mend the damage done to you?
I would trade a kingdom for a real-life mulligan
To vindicate what I have done

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
SO MAYBE THAT'S WHERE I LEFT MINE
I KNOW I HAVE FAILED YOU
BUT PLEASE DON'T CHANGE THE LOCK
ON YOUR HEART

Encaged in a mirage of my own design
"Engaged," something I hardly can define

Even though I'm always on my run
Echoes of your voice still hunts me down
Waging war on myself
To vindicate what I have done

The older that I get,
The more memories I have to leave behind
Can't undo anything at all, but for you,
I'll step in line and remain confined

My halo will never glow again
But the horns keep penetrating my skull

. . .


Million years of evolution
Still not close to perfection
God, how much time do you need?
'Cause I'm getting impatient
Release the source
And I'll find a way to alter my DNA
I'm onto you, big guy
And I'm getting impatient

My red-eyed friend,
Time for us to part ways
My red-eyed friend,
Don't forget to write me

WHY CAN'T THE DEMON IN MY HEAD
JUST HELP ME?
COME BACK AND BURN
ALL THESE PAINFUL FEELINGS
AS YOU USED TO DO BEFORE

You blocked everything I felt
An instrument to unplug my heart
The voice in my head
Shut down my feelings

Come shut down my feelings
Come make me empty inside

I can't do this all alone
I'm completely incomplete
I can't struggle on alone
You made me strong when I was weak

My red-eyed friend,
Time for us to part ways
My red-eyed friend,
Don't forget to write me

My red-eyed friend, where are you now?
My red-eyed friend, I miss you so
My red-eyed friend, I'll be waiting
For you

. . .


This is no ordinary demon
I've been down this road before
Driven by the wounds I couldn't hide
I know exactly where it goes
So, I guess there's no tomorrow
And I can't remember yesterday
Locked in a time-lapse
And it's soul-crushing to say:

At the end of my elbow,
You'll find one golden rule
A ferocious discharge:
You will hit the ground hard

I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T CARE
AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY THEY DIGNIFY INIQUITY
I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T CARE
AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY THEY JUSTIFY RAPACITY
THERE'S AN OVEN WAITING FOR YOU IN HELL
YOU'LL BE REAPING WHAT YOU SOW IN LIFE
WHAT YOU SOW IN LIFE

Left my humanity behind long ago
Take a look into my world
So many places where I don't belong
Eradicate what I've become

Had to put you in the place
And wipe that smile off your face
You can put a king's cloths on a scarecrow
In the end, it's still just a scarecrow

You're the affliction
You'll pay what you owe

. . .


Walking down the self-destructive path
To extract some shards
Of inspiration, the frustration
You are only as strong as your weakest link
That concerns me
The infatuation is an affliction

Be careful with what you don't understand
My rogue attitude is not welcome here
You're the flame that burns me
So I know I'm still alive, I'm still alive

DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU OUT OF THIS ONE
WE'RE FALLING, ALWAYS FALLING
DEEP IN YOUR HEART SITS THE KEY TO SET ME FREE
COME SET ME...SET ME FREE

They say the eyes are the windows to your soul
A revelation, the desperation
The imaginary voices in my head aren't imaginary
Look into my eyes and you'll see that something's wrong

No one there when I turn around
Come uncomplicate my life

. . .


A million laps around the sun
And mankind ruined it all in a matter of centuries
Good job; one null to humanity
What's up with the vanity?
What do we actually have to prove
To remove our insanity?
How many miles of ice have to
Melt before we show some sanity?
Hear me out

When all the wonders of the world
Are gone, razed and destroyed
There will be no time to ask why
It all came to this
We can almost hear the glaciers
Breaking day and night
Still, we don't do a damn thing
And I just can't see why

WELCOME TO THE LAST DAYS OF THE EARTH
WELCOME, EVERYTHING IS TOO LATE NOW
WELCOME, WAS IT REALLY WORTH IT IN THE END?
WELCOME TO THE END OF OUR WORLD

The very last tick of this planet
Still, we don't realize
That all of us will pay the price
No such thing as "the luxury to think twice"
God may be a kid with an ant farm
And we made him shake the box
Why wasn't to save the world
On top of everyone's to-do list?

WELCOME TO THE LAST DAYS OF THE EARTH
WELCOME, EVERYTHING IS TOO LATE NOW
WELCOME, WAS IT REALLY WORTH IT IN THE END?
WELCOME TO THE END OF OUR WORLD

When the power, the power of love
Overcomes the love of power
Overcomes the love of power
The world will finally
The world will finally
Finally come to peace
Come to peace
Come to peace

When all the wonders of the world
Are gone, razed and destroyed
There will be no time to ask why
It all came to this
We can almost hear the glaciers
Breaking day and night
Still, we don't do a damn thing
And I just can't see
Why

WELCOME TO THE LAST DAYS OF THE EARTH
WELCOME, EVERYTHING IS TOO LATE NOW
WELCOME, WAS IT REALLY WORTH IT IN THE END?
WELCOME TO THE END OF OUR WORLD

Take a breath
Make it deep
It could be the last
We'll ever make
But keep in mind: (Keep in mind)
We brought this one on ourselves
We brought this one on ourselves

. . .


You saw my eyes and I saw your smile
A deceiving kiss over the open sea
A star-painted sky, a slumbering feeling
Resurrected once more

Guess another undercover job awaits me
This game, I know so well
I can't sleep until I find out what could be
To put all at stake

IF NOTHING LASTS FOREVER,
WILL YOU BE MY NOTHING?
I DON'T BELIEVE I'LL EVER
FINISH DIGGING MY OWN GRAVE

Pieces of my shredded conscience try to hinder me
But the dark heart is stronger
I'll find out where your feelings are invested
And then exploit it

And she said, "I wish I could gather all my tears
"And fucking drown you in them"
Oh, honey, I'm sorry you feel that way
I'll be sure to bring my scuba gear

Double agent on another mission
It's time to make things wrong
I feel my inhumanity kicking in
And I don't know for how long

. . .


Finally, we are, we are even in the betrayal department
In fact, I think you win, I think you win
About time you aired out your dirty laundry
I guess the question was more powerful than the answear

Take all you want from me
Strip me to my very soul
But bear in mind that I will always keep fighting you
So I gaze towards the sky
Doubt that's where I'm going when I die
But it doesn't matter in the end
It doesn't matter

Piece by piece, I start to recreate
What used to be me
A puzzle with a thousand shapes
Which don't seem to fit
Guess some parts are missing
And sides are torn
But eventually, a picture will be born

Took a look inside of you
And found a darker place than my mind
That's good to know, that's good to know
I'll risk some emotions to slip through the
Gatekeepers of my mind just to project a human illusion

Piece by piece, I start to recreate
What used to be me
A puzzle with a thousand shapes
Which don't seem to fit
Guess some parts are missing
And sides are torn
But eventually, a picture will be born

Oh!

If I can't pull myself togheter,
I'm gonna tear myself apart
To vanquish all these demons will take time
To banish all your devils will take time

Take all you want from me
Strip me to my very soul
But bear in mind that I will always keep fighting you
So I gaze towards the sky
Doubt that's where I'm going when I die
But it doesn't matter in the end
It doesn't matter

Piece by piece, I start to recreate
What used to be me
A puzzle with a thousand shapes
Which don't seem to fit
Guess some parts are missing
And sides are torn
But eventually, a picture will be born

Piece by piece, I start to recreate
What used to be me
A puzzle with a thousand shapes
Which dont seem to fit
Guess some parts are missing
And sides are torn
But eventually, a picture will be born
