Do Not Try My fascination’s grown Out of nothing You’ve been falling out Of my mercy What on earth is that Comforts desperate soul Searching for a response To a cry I don’t try anymore Anonymous crowd Wades into my heart Leaves without a trace Tears are only a fake See them all around Tears are only a fake See them all around I see through crack in shell Clashes of lightning Someone rescue me From the darkness Darkness of my soul Growing deeper Can’t you see my heart Has almost died I don’t try anymore Anonymous crowd Wades into my heart Leaves without a trace Tears are only a fake See them all around Tears are only a fake See them all around I see through crack in shell Clashes of lightning Someone rescue me From the darkness Tears are only a fake See them all around Tears are only a fake See them all around Tears are only … 4. Splintered Heaven I’ve played the fool for so many times I have been down, you know how it hurts Read the writing on the wall Now it’s time to go on Hopes fell apart when blue daylight Drew my shadows from behind They keep me a silent company When it’s time to go on When it’s time to clear out All the dust and ash of might-have-been Wash bloody hands of all your dirty lies Cry for the moon as you fantasize Heavenly sister Nothing but shooting star Hot and glamorous, now here, then gone Meets her horizon Gone like your evil twin Wash bloody hands of all your dirty lies Cry for the moon because you only fantasize Heavenly sister Nothing but shooting star Hot and glamorous, now here and then Meets her horizon, Gone like your evil twin Your evil twin has caused too much pain I want to forgive you, I’d like to hear “I need you beside me”, hold me tight Let me feel, I am The shooting star on your horizon Now here and tomorrow gone 5.

Shed the Old Skin I’m finally shedding old skin Of painful losses Sweep away worries and all fears I am breaking the narrow shell Crushing hard core Of all dated histories Heading for a crazy destination To go “Somewhere ... Devil may care” I’m stripping off the black veil of my sorrow And all wasted chances Let me leave all the fears far behind Let me leave them and disappear No way back, no way out When you lose No way back for a tainted one No way back, no way out When you lose No way back for a tainted one Shake off leaves of weary feelings Make me up a brand new smile Lacing up for a happy, happy walk Putting on a sunny hat A hat that will keep away the rain To keep me safe and dry From the rain of tears that falls Around ... Around Let me leave all the fears far behind Let me leave them and disappear No way back, no way out When you lose No way back for a tainted one No way back, no way out When you lose No way back for a tainted one Let me leave all the fears far behind Let me leave them and disappear … 7. Solitude - My Life Write down all my names I simply can’t decide who I am As this awful time Makes me gather in All scattered hopes You know I am Charmed by easy-going fools I’m above it I will get the feeling soon You shall not turn me down Wonders come, pass me by Go in wind that blows Open up my heart Crazy fear that feeds on my pain Has arrived and opened my mind To the rain You know I am Charmed by easy-going fools And I’m above it I will get the feeling soon You shall not turn me down Amber dawn has come Bye-bye solitude No more vain desires Bridges fall and burn Manic attitude Really grabs me hard Charmed by easy-going fools I’m above it I will get the feeling soon Feel it coming Charmed by easy-going fools I’m above it I will get the feeling soon You shall not turn me down 8. Lonesome Road This night’s driving you crazy Slowly your sanity flies on the loose And you continue losing Balance of your tortured mind Who’s gonna cure your painful doubts You don’t know how You don’t know how you came To hate so much You drive on in heavy rainfall There is no way from the hell you are feeling Who’s gonna cure your painful doubts You don’t know how You don’t know how you came to hate so Drive through the crazy, raging night There is no way There is no way out from your mad hell Roads wind in the darkest of all nights Wind blows an empty message Lonely tune whispers secrets of your past Hasn’t anyone listened Who’s gonna cure your painful doubts You don’t know how You don’t know how you came to hate so Drive through the crazy, crazy night There is no way out No way out from your painful hell There is no way out There is no way out … 9. No Utopia Bloodshed stopped And scavengers cruising over Scream of anger and despair That killed all the humans Blinded windows open Their houses’ injuries That’s a different party From what you have seen Our world is no Utopia Ever just and accurate The world breaks down A helpless freak A sentimentalist Blame the silly mankind Or blame the religion You can shout your pains out Weep a million bitter tears Our world is no Utopia Ever just and accurate The world breaks down A helpless freak A sentimentalist Wounds of war cannot be treated By the art of medicine Helpless creatures suffer When they see no end to a fight Our world is no Utopia Ever just and accurate The world breaks down A helpless freak A sentimentalist We are breaking down The door went big bang No-one knows when it closed All has crashed Broadcast is live on our TVs Disgusting news Fresh bloody news Our world is no … Our world is no Utopia Our world is no Utopia Wounds of war cannot be treated By the art of medicine Helpless creatures suffer When they see no end to a fight 10. Lonely Echoes I walk in grey chambers Where aging photographs glow Eyes open wide star In the cold universe Endless Universe of Echoes Of Lost and Found trips down Down our Memory Lane Surrender desire Wild, shivering heart Love’s a lullaby It’s no hide and seek In Endless Universe of Echoes Of Lost and Found trips down Down our Memory Lane Wash away… … All my sorrow and daydreaming All the tenderness and desires Imagination can’t ever fathom In lonely chambers I wander round Aging photographs in the fire Slowly become ashes of past Turn you dust Turn you dust … They turn you dust In Endless Universe of Echoes Of Lost and Found trips down
