Faithful Darkness
In Shadows Lies Utopia
1. Stay Awake
What now, where am i now
I'm blind
I can't see the truth in my dreams
Am i crying
No more sweet happy endings
Your scream, a last cry for help
1, 2 - he's coming for you
3, 4 - better lock your door
5, 6 - grab a crucifix
7, 8 - better stay up late
9, 10 - never sleep again
Stay awake
His face, each and every night
Your nightmare
The children are playing
Singing the rythmes
For you
Smiling, laughing,
Screaming, crying
No one can help
Them from their fear
Don't lie dowm
Don't hug your pillow
Don't close your eyes
1, 2 - he's coming for you
3, 4 - better lock your door
5, 6 - grab a crucifix
7, 8 - better stay up late
9, 10 - never sleep again
Stay awake
1, 2 - he's coming for you
3, 4 - better lock your door
5, 6 - grab a crucifix
7, 8 - better stay up late
9, 10 - never sleep again
2. Pure Silence
By my hand you shall die
I am your end, the last light
There’s no heaven
there’s no hell
Just a second in pure silence
Hear me now when
I am screaming
Don’t deny when
you can’t see me
You have no life to spare
No one can escape reality
You’ll be a name in stone
No can escape reality
One step closer, come forward
You can’t escape
your apocalypse
There’s no escape
there’s no paradise
Just a second in pure
silence
Hear me now when
I am screaming
Don ´t deny when
you can’t see me
You have no life to spare
No one can escape reality
You’ll be a name in stone
No can escape reality
No one can escape...
You have no life to spare
No one can escape reality
You’ll be a name in stone
No can escape reality
3. Dispeled Dreams
A mindless talking creature
Look how they treat her
Can walk, eat, but not be
An illusion, nothing to see
Shadows feeding on my mind
I can not see, why am I blind
Seven different voices
Seven unspoken prayers
Free from pain - feeding insanity
Now I’m crying for the answer
For the key to unlock my heart
I can’t hide from me
Our precious lives
We live under supervision
We are seven weak slaves
We are seven weaker queens
I’m swimming for fun and joy
I’m walking endless miles for peace
I’m scratching to be untouched
I’m screaming to be left alone
Free from pain - feeding insanity
Now I’m crying for the answer
For the key to unlock my heart
I can’t hide from me
A prisoner in my own chains
Forged by God and I’m their slave
Each minute is a lifetime
But can I feel immortality
Free from pain
I cannot hide
Feeding insanity
crying for answers
Free from pain
I cannot hide
Feeding insanity
I'm a prisoner
Now I’m crying for the answer
For the key to unlock my heart
I can’t hide from me
A prisoner in my own chains
Forged by God and I’m their slave
Each minute is a lifetime
But can I feel immortality
4. Fast I Fall
”Die, Die, Die, Die!”
I want to fucking die
Want to scream
Need to get it out
by bleeding and screaming
Throw stuff around me
Have to break it all
Get it out of my system
No more misery
Fast I fall
I will never hit the ground
Try to fight the ghosts
within my mind
The labyrinth never ends
Just another stop, ”fuck!”
I’ll cut myself wide open and let it run down my wrists
Let my hands hide me
I don’t want to be
a pathetic loser - asshole
Release me from my prison
Fast I fall
I will never hit the ground
Try to fight the ghosts within my mind
Fast I fall
I will never hit the ground
Try to fight the ghosts within my mind
5. Human Torch
You see me, don’t ignore me
feel my pain
My wounds are bleeding
because of the main conflict
All this life to be myself
Every time ending up
hearing the bells
A pile of failing, it was a waste
The scars on my arms filled with their taste of blood
They’re are always laughing
spit in my face
I guess they are right
- I’m a fucking disgrace
Hit me, slap me, take my fucking life
Screaming for a hand
bring me the knife
I don’t wanna live, never ever
End it, this misery - forever
Raise my hand, don’t fall asleep
Lay the path to guide
the human torch
Let the flames wake you up
Lay the path to guide
the human torch
Oh please, oh my god
I can’t walk that way
I must stand tall when I face death
I have to swim back
through my tears
I have to be strong
to break down my fears
Put your pieces back together
Try to live, forever
Raise my hand, don’t fall asleep
Lay the path to guide
the human torch
Let the flames wake you up
Lay the path to guide
the human torch
6. Bound To Illusions
I’m screaming for your help
- can anyone hear me
Why am I speechless
my words are empty
Life is my altar
death is my release
I cannot help it
what I have become
I see your sweet shadow
Oh God, I’m bound to illusions
So many sacrifices I’ve made
I don’t belong to myself
Have cost me many wounds
my back is bleeding
The razors are cutting deeper
I’m out of blood
Every inch is tearing me apart
I smell flesh
I see your sweet shadow
Oh God, I’m bound to illusions
A helping hand
- the last escape
What I have created
forever gone
I see your sweet shadow
Oh God, I’m bound to illusions
A helping hand
- the last escape
What I have created
forever gone
7. Alive
Your expectations have
taken us too far
I’m stumbling in shadows
I’m going to fall apart
You force me to kill and
you force me to die
But my last thoughts
you can't make me deny
You can take my life away,
but you can’t take my dreams
My dreams
No one can stop us
we keep ourselves alive
Tell me you need me
don’t tell me no lies
Make me your hero
make me the one
Our last journey has finally begun
From heaven to hell
The worm of your lies
they bring me to hell
Our story of misery
the last one I’ll tell
My mind and my heart
are going different ways
I shall remember you until
the end of my days
You can take my life away,
but you can’t take my dreams
My dreams
No one can stop us
we keep ourselves alive
Tell me you need me
don’t tell me no lies
Make me your hero
make me the one
Our last journey has finally begun
From heaven to hell
8. Afterlife
I can’t believe what I’ve heard
My passion has taken the final step
Over and over, I want to do the same
Join her in the next dimension
Peace, Sleep, Loneliness
I’m drowning in pain
in her eyes I saw ”come to me”
Temptation containing the afterlife
The bitter truth is my only salvation
I leave my life behind me now
Escaping the truth of
being left behind
Farewell, goodbye, I’m dying tonight
Your lovely smile
will be my last sight
Peace, Sleep, Loneliness
I’m drowning in pain
in her eyes I saw ”come to me”
Temptation containing
the afterlife
The bitter truth
is my only salvation
Follow
Your smile into the unknown
I’m screaming
Can’t you hear my voice
Peace, Sleep, Loneliness
I’m drowning in pain
in her eyes I saw ”come to me”
Temptation containing
the afterlife
The bitter truth
is my only salvation
Follow
Your smile into the unknown
I’m screaming
Can’t you hear my voice
9. In Shadows Lies Utopia
Painting up an illusion the way
I want it to be
Creating my own paradise
- the only place where I
feel complete
Manipulated and forgotten
only remembered by my shadow
Reborn in a new dimension
I’ve found my safe haven
Never awake, never asleep
Lost in the shadow, so deep
I’m the messenger
server of silence
Live in our world
Perfect harmony we
found in shadows
Found in shadows
A life in the ultimate sin
Walls of Utopia
Behind the walls of Utopia
Can’t you scream after me
lost beneath my flesh’s request
Forever unable to see the truth
live in a shadow of a so called life
Forced to live like a ghost
a piece of flesh doing nothing
Killing myself very slowly
- dying is my way of life
Never awake, never asleep
Lost in the shadow, so deep
I’m the messenger...
DIE
Live in our world
Perfect harmony
Found in shadows
Life is yours
Walls of utopia
I’m the messenger...
10. Believer
Who are you now and
what is your purpose
Your unfaithful dreams
are spinning around in circles
Your twisted visions
are filled with all your hate
Destroyed and buried
and gone with your lost fate
Don’t run away
From your dreams
’Cause now it’s time to
open your eyes
So believe in what you see
There’s no denial as you
open your eyes
So believe in what you see
There’s no denial as you
open your eyes
So believe
The warriors in my mind
they have no guidance
They are left without a clue
of knowing what to do
Unfaithful dreams
are spinning around in circles
Destroyed, then buried
It’s time to face reality
Don’t run away
From your dreams
’Cause now it’s time to
open your eyes
So believe in what you see
There’s no denial as you
open your eyes
So believe in what you see
There’s no denial as you
open your eyes
So believe
Don’t run away
From your dreams
’Cause now it’s time to
open your eyes
So believe in what you see
There’s no denial as you
open your eyes
So believe in what you see
There’s no denial as you
open your eyes
So believe
11. Fields Of Yesterday
”Storm of thoughts begins to
blow in my head
Behind the thunder lies
the tail of the dead
But there is a life
far from the exile
Try that wonderful thing
for a while”
The thoughts within your mind
will kill you from the inside
Fields of yesterday
where we lay our sorrow
Fields of yesterday
let the new seed grow
Tomorrow a new day will shine
Don’t let the clouds bring you down
Let your life embrace the light
You don’t have to live on
Fields of yesterday
When the end of days will arrive
You must have lived once to survive
Thoughts behind the eyes
the truth behind the lies
Bind them to your reality
Fields of yesterday
where we lay our sorrow
Fields of yesterday
let the new seed grow
Tomorrow a new day will shine
Don’t let the clouds
bring you down
Let your life embrace the light
You don’t have to live on
No one will guide you in the dark
Fields of yesterday
where we lay our sorrow
Fields of yesterday
Let the new seed grow
Tomorrow a new day will shine
Don’t let the clouds
bring you down
Let your life embrace the light
You don’t have to live on
Fields of yesterday
