Intoxicated Intoxicated with your words and your lies Since I was born I always payed the price You took everything from me, Everything that I had I swallow all your rage to fill this hole in my chest This atrocity, never trust in God No trust in you, never trust at all It's time to stay clear in the deepest storm But one last time I try to move on Kill the loneliness in me Break the chains and set me free I will never look back Never look back and start again Start again! A broken heart, to broke at all What is right, what is wrong? Show me something to believe in Somewhere I belong Need a rhyme, singing all out But too weak to give up Still searching for the answer Alone in the dark!

I will never look back Never look back and start again Start again! I'm sleepless, I'm restless, I'm lost in myself I'm buried alive with the love turned to hate When the loved turned to hate I'm sleepless, I'm restless, I'm lost in myself I'm buried alive with the love turned to hate I'm sleepless, I'm restless, I'm lost in myself I'm buried alive with the love turned to hate (All the the love, in my life) I want to feel this way again (When I'm gone, When I'm gone) Will you regret what you have done (All the the love, in my life) I want to feel this way again (When I'm gone, When I'm gone) To realize what I become Kill the loneliness in me Break the chains and set me free I will never look back Never look back and start again All these wounds will never heal This could everything appeal?

Your world is turning upside down Practice what you preach A thousand words don't count Don't be afraid to fail Be amongst the few, the few who dare Deal with the devil coming in, coming out Your fear and despair, whatever it may take You think I'm shaking by saying Before later becomes never When you're motionless inside You don't even feel time So wake up and realize Before later becomes never again Don't be a poor spirit with a dead heart Accept your scars, accept your past Without desire to change Tomorrow will be the same Be amongst the few, the few who dare Deal with the devil coming in, coming out Your fear and despair, whatever it may take You think I'm shaking by saying Before later becomes never Deal with the devil Deal with the devil You think I'm shaking by saying Before later becomes never When you're motionless inside You don't even feel time So wake up and realize Before later becomes never again Wake me up! Wake me up! My eyes are shut I can't take it any longer I am trapped, another time With the weight on my shoulders [CJ McMahon:] Wake me up Wake me up Before later becomes never Wake me up Wake me up Before later becomes never When you're motionless inside You don't even feel time So wake up and realize Before later becomes never again So wake up and realize Before later becomes never again 5. Set Me Free This is my last goodbye I wake up every morning to fight the same demons That left me so tired the night before Every day feels like walking through fire I'm so tired of this life, I can't take it anymore Feels like I'm stuck inside a shell That hides the pain I know so well In this heart of sin does my hell begin When nothing's left, we're everything! We are more frightened than hurt We suffer more from visions than reality I ask myself how long can I keep up with this fight? My world is drowning in the twilight, where the sun doesn't rise This nightmare has turned myself into an enemy The world I'm living in, is the world I have to leave Feels like I'm stuck inside a shell That hides the pain I know so well In this heart of sin does my hell begin When nothing's left, we're everything! I long for silence, lay me to rest! This pain will never disappear till I'm gone and dead I long for silence, lay me to rest! This struggle will not disappear till I'm gone and dead Dancing demons at a burning stake My life became a nightmare when my world turned to gray Dancing demons at a burning stake My life is just a misery, so please let me free! Feels like I'm stuck inside a shell That hides the pain I know so well In this heart of sin does my hell begin When nothing's left, we're everything! We are more frightened than hurt We suffer more from visions than reality 6. My Madness Get the fuck up! I'm used to meet resistance, disrespect and smug rejection I live, I lose, but who the fuck are you? As I go down the drain, my madness keeps me sane I love, I hurt, I'm in it with all my heart You don't know my demons, you don't know their names You don't hear them whisper, they made me who I am Chaos in my soul Madness in my eyes You will never know me I won't go astray I'll never obey With all my heart I meet my fate I'm standing at the crossroads, I won't follow all you lost souls I live, I lose and that's the path I'll choose Don't try to cure my madness It gives me the freedom that makes me fearless I love, I hurt, I'm in with all my heart You don't know my demons, you don't know their names You don't hear them whisper, they made me who I am Chaos in my soul Madness in my eyes You will never know me I won't go astray I'll never obey With all my heart I meet my fate Break me, hate me, hurt me, kill me, now Who the fuck are you? I'll never obey! Who the fuck are you? I won't go stray! Chaos in my soul Madness in my eyes You will never know me I won't go astray I'll never obey With all my heart I meet my fate 7. I Am Fear I'll abandon myself to fear I feel it and now I see clear And when it's gone past I'll follow it's path It's coming closer and now it's here The gravity of fear There's something deep inside Hope is dead Nothing's left but darkness in my mind The nightmare becomes reality, open your eyes Face everything and rise! I'm here, on the other side of fear Where I found myself I'm real! You cannot escape I'm back, can't you feel the cold breath on your neck?! I am nothing and everything I'm darkness and light within I am losing control, or is control losing me?! I'm coming closer and now I am here The gravity of fear There's something deep inside Hope is dead Nothing's left but darkness in my mind The nightmare becomes reality, open your eyes Face everything and rise! I'm here, on the other side of fear Where I found myself I'm real! You cannot escape I'm back, can't you feel the cold breath on your neck?! I'm the scarecrow, climbing of my cross I have become what I've feare the most... I'm the scarecrow, climbing of my cross I'm here, on the other side of fear Where I found myself I'm real! You cannot escape I'm back, can't you feel the cold breath on your neck?! 8. Delusion We are blind, we're dead inside, in our shelter of mind There's nothing more to lose, when there's nothing to find Regrets buried underneath absolution We're just ugly mannequins society's delusion Pull the trigger and pray to God Bite the bullet Hail to the fraud! So pull the trigger and pray to God Bite the bullet Pay the price with your blood! It's going down, down, down! Can't you see it, can't you feel it?! We won't drown, drown, drown In the delusion that we believe in! Dreams are lost, pressure made them so hollow Closer to the edge, (but) we don't care about tomorrow! Tell me if we're dreaming or are we still awake?! Just tell me, are we the masters or are we the slaves? Pull the trigger and pray to God Bite the bullet Hail to the fraud! So pull the trigger and pray to God Bite the bullet Pay the price with your blood! It's going down, down, down! Can't you see it, can't you feel it?! We won't drown, drown, drown In the delusion that we believe in! It's going down, down, down The less we care, the more we drown When this heaven turns to hell, we have failed, we have failed... Pay the price with your blood Enough is enough! It's going down, down, down! Can't you see it, can't you feel it?! We won't drown, drown, drown In the delusion that we believe in! 9. Carry On I torch the last piece of my broken past Crushed, burned and buried, but with hope at last! You left me nothing, not even my fear My mind is free and my eyes see clear Like a phoenix I will rise from the core of the ashes! I see my shattered dreams in a crystal casket... Step by step, brick by brick I will build a wall And I will never look back 'til I fall And I swear, that I'll carry on And I swear, that I can prove you wrong And I swear, our love's long gone And you won't bring me down again I swear! My life has gone astray You left me standing in the pouring rain But upon this rock I will build my church Upon this rock I will watch you burn! We've been running in circles, now we're out of touch Even I would care, you wouldn't give a fuck... Since the start you wanna see me fall You've shattered everything, but I'm unbreakable! And I swear, that I'll carry on And I swear, that I can prove you wrong And I swear, our love's long gone And you won't bring me down again I swear! I am sick of this senseless fighting! I am sick of these power trips! I am sick of this fucking silence! I am sick of this, I am sick of you! Won't you hear me, I'm done with you I've torn apart the hell you put me through And I swear, that I'll carry on And I swear, that I can prove you wrong And I swear, our love's long gone And you won't bring me down again I swear! 10. Masquerade Distorted and broken, a fractured facade The curtain is falling, the surface will break Your face became a mask and the mask became your friend We all become what we pretend to be The mirrors shows the enemy! This is my reckoning! Ripping of your second skin This is my reckoning! No mask can hide the devil within Devil inside! You can't fucking hide Devil inside! Unravel your mind Devil inside! No more fucking lies Devil inside! Sever your ties Break out from this masquerade before we fade away We are losing who we are! Unmask your hidden hate Wash it all away and heal your hollow heart! With fake love and a plastic heart, your dead eyes shining dark These blurred lines do not define who you really are! I left the past behind - look deep inside We all become what we pretend to be The mirrors shows the enemy! This is my reckoning! Ripping of your second skin This is my reckoning! No mask can hide the devil within Devil inside! You can't fucking hide Devil inside! Unravel your mind Devil inside! No more fucking lies Devil inside! Sever your ties Break out from this masquerade before we fade away We are losing who we are! Unmask your hidden hate Wash it all away and heal your hollow heart! Break away There's nothing to it It may be hard, but no excuses! Fix the broken Breaking away 'cause you are free! Breaking away 'cause you are free! Who do you want to be?! Breaking away 'cause you are free! Break out from this masquerade before we fade away We are losing who we are! Unmask your hidden hate Wash it all away and heal your hollow heart! 11. Incomplete I will not forgive, I will not forget I will not forgive, I will not forget My heart it stops, it starts, once close now far apart I'm here, but I'm not, and I feel nothing, but incomplete There's nothing left to say, you threw it all away We've drifted apart so lang ago, so faraway You made me incomplete Cause you're the stranger inside of me And now I know, you are no missing piece Cause you're the stranger inside of me Love's long gone! I will not forgive, I will not forget I will not forgive, I will not forget You know nothing, nothing of me No matter what you think you see! You Know nothing, nothing of me You've opened my eyes and now I'm free You know nothing, nothing of me, you make me sick! My heart it stops, it stars, once close now far apart I'm here, but I'm not and I feel nothing, but incomplete You made me incomplete Cause you're the stranger inside of me And now I know you are no missing peace Cause you're the stranger inside of me Love's long gone! I will not forgive, I will not forget! 12. The Great Unknown With the horizon in my eyes, the ocean in my mind The storm in my heart, I leave everything behind! Batten down the hatches, fierce and restless, into great unknown No anchor, no beacon, no shore in sight! I'm chainless, relentless Against the tide Into the great unknown I'm coming home! Under starless skies, in the deepest night, I tasted life Darkness lies! There's always light! And I know it won't go... I'm a ship in distress, but the tide with turn I'm anchorless, between dark and dawn My heart is beating and bleeding For none but my own Into the great unknown No anchor, no beacon, no shore in sight! I'm chainless, relentless Against the tide Into the great unknown I'm coming home! Under starless skies, in the deepest night, I tasted life Darkness lies! There's always light! And I know it won't go... Between the devil and the deep blue sea Chasing the demons that are haunting me Silence below, where is my home? Anchorless Relentless Into the great unknown! Under starless skies, in the deepest night, I tasted life Darkness lies! There's always light! And I know it won't go... 13. Sleepers Awake Sleepers Awake! The earth will shake Sleepers Awake The tide is setting in, I'll never come to rest Like a roaring storm in my chest The elements are mine, as a brutal as divine Raging deep inside Sleepers awake! Unleash the sky, open your mind Sever your ties Unleash the sky, planets collide Sleepers awake! The crown of creation Shattered on the ground The earth will shake Sleepers Awake Under falling skies, sparks turn into flames Inferno in my eyes, so fire I became! Clouds turn into ashes, the world turns upside down The crown of creation Shattered on the ground! Unleash the sky, open your mind Sever your ties Unleash the sky, planets collide Sleepers awake! Find paradise in hell, find guidance in chaos Don't sacrifice yourself Be the creator! So it begins and so it ends Unleash the sky, open your mind Sever your ties Unleash the sky, planets collide Sleepers awake! So it begins and so it ends... The crown of creation Shattered on the ground Sleepers awake! 14. Dark Shadows (re-recorded version) 15. Forsaken Horizon (re-recorded version) A glance back A glance into the now Tears sweeten the day But the aftertaste is bitter (Here we go) Where are the good old times? Where is my dependence? In your presence my memories swallow me Moment for moment You throw me back A new way, the same paths, old fears I'm the tool of my demons In your presence my memories they swallow me Moment for moment You throw me back again A new way, the same paths, old fears I'm the tool of my demons They hide in the depths of my soul In darkness I cannot be what I am Fill me with new hope Let me go before I end I cannot be what I am Fill me with new hope Fill me with new hope In your presence my memories they swallow me Moment for moment You throw me back again A new way, the same paths, old fears I'm the tool of my demons They hide in the depths of my soul In darkness Fill me with new hope Fill me with new hope
