The Burden:
from now on I will give
until there's nothing left
and most important feelings will come to final rest
my heart, it dies, it's pumping
forever blackened blood
this ghost of me, this shadow
is the everlasting flood
now show yourself surprised as if you never laughed
as if you never fought, as if you never loved
I am not lifeless and I am not cold
the burden of the light, the burden of it all
so hide in the shadow and stay off the light
though it mirrors beauty, though it shines so bright
No more shall I see again the rising sun
until the last remaining soul is gone
I am not lifeless and I am not cold
I will overcome it all
hide in the shadow, avoid the light
I will fight
When ruin strikes unexpected and your belongings end in loss
on an unalterable level, humiliation came across
a trail of obligation until the ending of my life
my past is filled with disappointment
so maybe the future will revive
perhaps is loving my own self not unsubstantial fake
perhaps was all that I created forevermore a big mistake
now show yourself surprised as if you never laughed
as if you never fought, as if you never loved

Forgotten Time, all that existed was pure
follow the line and every change had cure
see reality, the open space, so pure
keeper of beasts and mother nature is strong
witch fiend of man corrupts all he can
I´m in Charge of this masterplan
See the angels flying high
the peaks of thousand-year-old mountains
I don`t want this to end
see the waters touch the sky
beloved hights and deep blue ocean
I don`t want this to end
what drives us to learn, to create new worlds
when we`re not able to save the one
we`re destroying in vain

Feel the emptiness
Deep inside your heart
Things you said and done
Messed around with everyone
I`ll find my way
Through shades of grey
I`m forced to live alone
Never crawl
never fall down your hole
betrayal of love
vanishing light of your soul
Vengeance will come
revenge has begun
Thought you`ll never understand
why you hurt me so deep inside
My fire will burn
Cause you`ll never learn
when to shut up and be patient
when I want to speak out the truth
the truth
I was starving and you gave me to eat
I was homeless and you brought my family peace
I was drunken and you put me on my feet
but for goodness sake, it was your deed
I`m blessed with the same, the same love as all of you
I`m blessed with the same, the same love as all of you

This old man in the corner tells tales of ever youth
The one who`s given up to foes betrays the truth
A soldier stitching wounds alone is not an easy kill
And trust no friends who claim to be at war just for the thrill
Remember him as one of you
When you see him on the street
He is good, he is fine
But erased his mind
Alcohol for the duke of puke
She`s young and full of beauty, but why she looks so sad
her father died when she was nine, not long ago in time
She was too hard to handle, so she lived on her own
her mother working as a whore, both offering their bones
Remember her as one of you
when you walk the streets of despair
She is good, she is fine
but erased her mind
Heroin for the lady`s pain
I know what life`s about and when it really starts to please
And how you get the booze and women cheap or even free
What else should bother me when I am ready for the show
IS this what I am craving, that for is Rock and Roll

You disapprove with every step that I move
So our intellects battle`s begun
And in several ways, you built up tricks and arrays
Whom do you blame when you finally run
Accelerate the hate, you must participate
Cause it`s an unwritten law, all traitors have to fall
And they are never coming back
Look in my eyes
You are paralyzed
Give up the lies
Gve up the alibis
No one can protect you now
Your affection is my pet-aversion
A shift to friendliness, what a poor camouflage
You can`t hide your inner self
The dissonance when we meet, you turn away when I greet
You competenceless piece of shit
Your lack of principle, it drives me mad
Give up your existence and commit suicide
What do you serve, except your pride?
I`m gonna kill you - please tell me how
I never thought that this could
This could be
You cannot take it back, I am done with you
The gap is far too wide to close
You can apologize, you should reduce your size
`Caus you are weaker than you think
This whole hypocrisy is plain annoying me
Farewell and be prepared, the place you are going to
Is very hot and filled with pain

Forward we rush to the holiest places
Together regaining our glorious faces
Tonight we`re awakening the foe of all angels
we`re spilling the blood of the virgins we`re raping
We are the demons of art
We are offering this to the dark
The earth is our shelter and home
Where Lucifer sits on his throne
Backward we`re driving the gnomes from our places
Together we`re burning their rough caves and mazes
Today starts the judgment for all that is being
a part of this world, better stop you can`t flee me
We are the purveyors of light
We stand in the center of might
All-Hallows will come to an end
The one with the horns will be banned
