They've been telling
Once upon a time
Things were set in motion
But we are soon through
You see it
You feel it
What are you gonna do
Turning your ahead away pretending to be cool
It's time now
To wake up
And stake a point of view
We are already running out of tools


2. Sleep Well

Yesterday is like a dream
Nothing's what it seems to be
Another hit, just another score
No emotions will I show
My Blood is frozen to the bone
Feeling so dead inside my soul
SO many things I'll never know
Stalking behind, you are the prey
Waiting to stumble down my way
Sleep well, my baby
Dream on, my darling baby
Sleep well, my baby
I'll be back one day
Lost in a world so cruel and dark
Caught in a haze far off the mark
Try to evade that road to hell
Loneliness, my only friend
Cast in my shadow till the end
A slip of the knife or a twist in the jest I know too well
Irony's hand, writing the play
Leading me down this maze
Sleep well, my baby
Dream on, my darling baby
One day maybe
I'll be back to stay
Tell me are you afraid
That I won't come back to you again
Asking if I'll stay
If I could, I would babe


3. Serenity

By the river all alone
Staring deep inside of my soul
Speaking to my intuition
But the words disappear
As the waters rise and fall
So the tides they are within me
Running to a place unknown
To a place that I fear
Where lies my peace of mind
Tranquil serenity
You can't see me
You can't hear me
Yet you feel me
Deep down inside
Drawing near a seeping dam
Where the streams become a trickle
Running 'tween the barren stones
Destination unknown
Vacant spaces in my heart
Hardened by the constant turmoil
Jaded by the sands of time
In my world all alone
Where lies my peace of mind
Tranquil serenity
You can't see me
You can't hear me
Yet you feel me
Deep down inside
I can't see you
I can't hear you
Still I feel you
Inside of my mind


4. City Of Misteries

As I walk out of the plane
I feel the warm air flowing in
Bringing back old memories
Reminding me of the wonder
I've been here many times before
Yet you remain a mystery
What lies behind the closed doors
Senses pulling me under
Tell me, are you the one that I've known
So take me in your warm embrace
I recognize the streets
By neon lights I navigate
I'll never be the same
Crossing through the center of it all
Wings of the night carrying me
To a place where once before
I was calling for an answer
As my gaze is wandering around
You set my mind at ease
And I go on searching for myself
Keep on coming for more
Show me something that I've never seen
So take me in your warm embrace
I recognize the streets
By neon lights I navigate
I'll never be the same
The city welcomes me again
It leads me to her heart
With neon lights I find my way
We're never been apart


5. King Anti-Midas

It seems to fall on darkened days
Like trials of the sinner
A thousand and one hundred ways
Just a question of when
All that I put to rest
My deepest desires
Like dreams now put to rest
All brought to an end
Time and again it burns in my head
Frustration, the demons of ego
Losing my grip, the ultimate slip
Dragging me deep down below
Look at me, King Anti-Midas
High upon my throne
Always reaching, not succeeding
Failing to capture the gold
Setting out to rule them all
Falling short of glory
A king with no distinct resolve
Only seemingly strong
Once had such golden dreams
Fueling my desire
Like the Silver of the stars
Soon faded by doom


6. Angels Will Cry

Waves of hatred pushing over the world
Chaos spreading rootless people loot
Turn your back but make no move
If you knock on the door, someone will shoot
And don't you want for a friendly smile, it's alright
Fear is only a state of mind not just some emotion
It's hard to be kind, not to be blind and face it all
Angels will cry
And the moon will disappear
The sun slowly dies
We'll be fading into the dark so I fear
Lost our dreams, lost our noble thoughts
The search for the grail was doomed from the start
Greedy vultures stalking the prey
Evil composers ruling the day
In the end when all is said we're all the same
They eye in the sky controlling your life
Watching every motion
Always sleeping, but whose betraying and
Whose to blame


7. After The Rain

As the rain pours on
And all is gray
So the leaves fall down
And soon decay
When there is pain, there will be light
And soon the sun will shine
It will brighten up the night
And everything is fine
If the rain would wash away
All the tears from your eyes
Could you find your way back in the darkest night
Would you still cry?
There is sorrow in your eyes
But still you're so strong
I will hold you in my arms
Caress you with my song
If the rain would wash away
All the tears from your eyes
Could you find your way back in the darkest night
Would you still cry?


8. Mr. Know-It-All

Funny how I have realized
People like you so high and wise
Telling us how to live our lives
Speaking 'bout things you just surmise
They call you Mr. Know-it-all
So proud contriving in your clever mind
But do you really have the balls
Or could it be you're weak inside
And that you've got something to hide
Seems like you always know it all
What ever I say you're never wrong
If this was a game you'd own the ball
Time and again the same ol' song
Look at you you're never wrong
There are people who want to be
At the center of every scene
Hard as they try, fail to impress me
I'm telling now, you're not supreme


9. Dreams And Reality

I don't need a virgin
I don't want a whore
I can't get an angel
I'm not sure what I am searching for
My dreams and reality
Are worlds which collide
Confusion, illusion, are dancing side by side
Why don't you take, why don't you make me
Believe in something real
Don't hesitate, don't you push me away
Come the dawn, finally
I've been alone, but barely holding my own
Here waiting for you to call
Can't you see the wound inside of me
That's bleeding
Time after time
I've been left in my despair
What have I learned
Is it just not to care
Is it too much to ask for
The will to be free
How can I sift through all the lies
The pressure is starting to tear - it's all I can bear
Why don't you take, why don't you make me
Believe in something real
Don't hesitate, don't you push me away
Come the dawn, finally
I've been alone, but barely holding my own
Here waiting for you to call
Can't you see the wound inside of me
That's bleeding
Still I'm here waiting, for a miracle, so damn frustrating
To believe at all


10. Last Defender

As I stare at the sky I know soon
I will die dreams are falling
I can see the end in sight but I'll
Face my last fight someone's calling
All I see are shattered building bodies
On the ground
And I hear bombs exploding with the
Sound of doom
Such insanity
Lack of reason in their strategy
Egos on the edge now
Driving soldiers to their graves
All I hear, guns are blazing madness raging on
Fighting through the stones
In the ruins of the strong
Burning blinding smoke
As the reaper comes along
Now I know victory's a dream
As winter nears
And I am surrounded by my fears
There's no hope, I feel so cold
All is lost, I've been told
No surrender
We shall fight till we die
But tonight, I won't cry
Last defender
I can see as snow falls slowly
Drifting down on me
I can't feel a thing as I'm set free
