On the Wings of Freedom 06:13
lyrics
buy track
When daylight returns to sleepless town We rise into the air, the bells are ringing now Above written laws, together as one We'll stand till the end, our time has come Your soul is rising to be heard Hold on for morning after You’re the part of story never told Chorus: On the silent wings of freedom Another morning brings us Peace of mind When moonlight returns to sleepless town The spirit of unity out on the run We raise our hands towards the sky We see how fades the era of lies

Running Man 04:27
lyrics

He is walking on the razor's edge, Hating electrical lighting The shadow of the monster is calling Waiting for fighting The smell of carrion, The smell of dreadful reality One more step closer Into spotless infinity Chorus: So many long cold nights he prayed In the temple of pain he was better off dead The end of time is somewhere near The strongest will win, he has to kill Dirty moon and nothing at all Anyone’s help in the name of the fall Whatever it was, it was his all Running man alone against the wall He is a part of cruel game Generated by the sick mind of sadist He is trying to run away From knights of the Empire of Madness A man without name is rising against the system How much more the humankind will continue this fragile existence?

Blind Faith 05:28
lyrics

Trapped in the corner of the cell I'm gonna keep the silence Cause there is no-one left To keep the last line of defense And every time I close my eyes Painful visions reappear Deep inside in my mind This is my cross to bear Tear down the walls Drown out the fears This silent war Becomes too real Reflect the world In a prism of hate Break up the rules It's not the (end) Chorus: It's something closer, than we can see It's something easier, than it should be This blind faith is all we have It's not the end There's no time to run away Bloody justice will be done For every sin we'll have to pay And there's no way back There is no way No time to cry It's nothing left to hide And all we have Is blind faith Soaked in the poison of hate It's something closer, than we can see It's something easier, than it should be This blind faith is all we have It's not the end

Death Itself 06:09
lyrics

A long time ago in the City of darkness The Sun has shined bright Warming singing angels ‘til the moonrise There came a day Just another Monday The Sky became grey The Stars have disappeared behind the black shade Chorus Cold wind is blowing on it Covers ground with dust and ash, ash and dust Heavy dark clouds have won the battle for the holy heavens No-one left, it’s dust and ash, ash and dust Only the Moon is still here She drops her tears on cursed town, cursed ground Widow of Sun, she’s waiting for dead men rising She drops her pain on cursed ground, cursed town Death itself Takes the guitar With its cold hand It plays its song: A Long time ago To the city of sunshine Came a man Dark as the blackest of the black cats Ordinary day Just another Monday The End of the Days For the whole of damned mankind

Every Time 05:32
lyrics

Every time the morning Comes to my lonely empty room Every time the sun shines Through the window of my sorrow's gloom Every time the morning Wakes up my sleeping fears It's the time, my dear Belongs to you my far away dear Chorus: Coloured blue The sun is walking to the west and meeting cold day Blue morning is wearing kill vest Day after day, I am counting steps I am still saying Have a good morning Every time the evening Comes to my dark and stuffy place I turn for no reason, and see your face Every time the mirror Misses you more than me It's the time, my dear The world is changing, let it be Have a good day too And you know that Everything passes Life is full of lessons It was the good one That showed me there is None more important Than Us.

Hate is all you left for me 04:37
lyrics

Where the river slowly flows Along a dark and empty dale On the silent path of past In my scariest fairytale I gave up all my dreams And I've escaped for the last Madness urges me again And it will never stop Don't be ashamed Forget it Our story's written Full of hate and lies And with a tragic end Hate is all you left for me And I'm still here with all I have I'll raise my hate I'll raise my rage And give to you some day Chorus: I'll never feel the same I never smile, I don't deserve it And I have no-one to blame My bitter dish is cold and served I tried to stop me but I can't do so You have to be very careful 'cause I'm dangerous You thought that I was a fool You'll change your mind and see of all my hate There’s no strength to fight The body’s tired and weak It's finished now forever Time for my final flight Got on my highest peak, prepared to leap into the deep I missed my marks I'm reckless The road back closed Ahead or nowhere that’s my way Cause hate is all you left for me It’s time now To give my raised hate to you At once had whole of it, my dear ‘Cause I forgive you And its time to hate yourself.

Emptiness 05:41
lyrics
buy track
I close my eyes, There is no dark - it shines Reviving all the pain in me, All crooked lies once believed Who can I blame for burning flame? Emptiness, so thick I touch it, Emptiness, so vague it catches Me wherever I am hiding, Mesmerizing, squeezing, blinding... All days and nights - in black and white Who stole the warm heart of the sea? It has always been my addressee I can go to and be all gone Emptiness it’s all I’m seeing Emptiness it’s all I’m feeling There is nothing but a black hole Mesmerizing, squeezing, blinding

Shadow Falls 06:42
lyrics
buy track
The shadow wearing black behind my window It's crawling silently at night It doesn't pay attention to repentance It's soul is dead for many lives Sometimes it pursued me along the road Sometimes crept silently behind It has appeared in a dawn of my life and is staying all the time behind my back. Chorus: It had maliciously sneered at me And waited for its time to come In a crowd of people it was stirred hidden And was among you probably. It has been pushing me to fall the breakage And praised the sky, instead of the ground But I'm alive and do not trust her whisper So go away from me - you death.
