Tell the World I'm Sorry 10. Loss 11. Black Days 1. As a True King Closer to the future flying rapidly I've been damned to breathe what I hate to see Forcing me to act what I can not be Impurity is when you're pulling strings to see I'm rising up I'm flying higher How would it feel if I touched the sky? Can't you see I'm rising higher Rising free towards purity Lashing down on my trust try to make me feel Calm, at ease I'm feeling nauseous see What kind of man do you want from me? One for slavery, or a king that rules you nice and free I'm rising up I'm flying higher How would it feel if I touched the sky? Can't you see I'm rising higher Rising free towards purity Can't you see I'm rising higher Can't you see I'm rising higher As a true king 2. Powertool Open the cap fill up the batteries Play the game of your life It's starting to shake It's ready for you to control Your flesh starts to sweat The feeling you need to let go Just do your thing lose all the tension and flow Powertool forever young forever, forever young Powertool when we're in bloom when we're in bloom Feeling the one handed love As the best you've ever had Wiping your mouth and getting Ready to start again When your body is shaking And your sight turns black You will know that you've found me The mighty powertool Powertool forever young forever, forever young Powertool when we're in bloom when we're in bloom 3. Deserted Everything seems to be flowing My mind is set to consume you And when the world comes down on you Don't come to me to shed your tears We got the time to find Something to live for Deserted mind like mine To flow around in here We've all got a line You've crossed yours You have crossed the breaking point So don't come to me And shed your tears We got the time to find Something to live for Deserted mind like mine To flow around In here that our lives To draw the line It's hard so hard That life has passed now All that they know So what is left now To live for? 4. Soulburner Sometimes thinking of suicide The thought that sharpens my mind Deep down in manic depression I only hear my own cries These thoughts are so twisted I can hardly Look out from the edge of my world Those feelings of losing every sense of touch I tried to reach with my hands Sometimes thinking of suicide The thought that sharpens my mind Sometimes life feels much cheaper So cold, dull and grey These thoughts are so twisted I can hardly Look out from the edge of my world Those feelings of losing every sense of touch I tried to reach with my hands Moving near the end of my dream However I'm leaving after I've tried to feel the way others feel But it's just not for me 5. If Tomorrow Is Gone Can't feel the rush that I used to It's as you weren't there I can't straighten my back right I am so in despair Now it's dark and I can't see What the dreams carry to me If tomorrow is gone I would feel more comfort And if If tomorrow is gone I would be alone then Can't feel the rush that I used to It's as you weren't there I can't straighten my back right I am so in despair Now it's dark and I can't see What the dreams carry to me If tomorrow is gone I would feel more comfort And if If tomorrow is gone I would be alone then 6. Small Electric Space This is our small electric space A place of love a place of hate Friends that hold you true Who scares you more than you Sometimes it's warm sometimes it's cold Sometimes it's just like your world Lost track of time lost the whole of you Lost every thing worth fighting for So you hide in your world If ever time could heal your wounds So you hide in our world In our small Electric Space This is our small electric space A place for joy a place for your soul If ever time means much to you Find this place Tears of gold tumbling down Feelings that're cold take you far Forever keeping life so true Now you're damned So you hide in your world If ever time could heal your wounds So you hide in our world In our small Electric Space 7. Chaos in Flesh Open your arms, show me your envy The fury that makes Do you cry out when you're in need? Or do you just act like you're more mean? So would you hold on now Let the fate decide? So would you hold on now When our sorrow rise? You are the chaos hidden in dreams The ones that keep me awake You are all evil, gathered in One big monster machine Force out control Reign us with fury Spinning in this endless machine An eternal session within You're chaos without limits You're the sense to control Evil is inside us all But you won't get my soul 8. Ecstasy of Life Step back in silence, meet the ecstacy in life You shouldn't suffer so much Face the enemy within yourself Feel this growing anger Wash in the pain the gates will not be shut To the world of anger Feel as much as I feel More pain than the growing sorrow Lies supposed to break me As you always say It's a war down in the shadows Your ecstacy lies in hell Step back in silence, meet the ecstacy in life You shouldn't suffer so much Face the enemy within yourself Feel this growing anger Lies supposed to break me As you always say It's a war down in the shadows Your ecstacy lies in hell 9. Tell the World I'm Sorry I want to fuck up everything that you ever loved I want to lose my head go for the bat and crush your head Relax for a while think it over All the vicious circles I'm trembling in are going further down The last words you ever spoke still echo in my head The world has turned and left me here So stiff and cold Find hope, find a cure, find happiness For my ragged, tortured soul Tell the world I'm sorry For blowing it all away Tell the world I'm sorry When I'm out of your way I can feel the weight of the world on my soldiers And it's crushing me Faith is not enough, give me strength so my heart Can keep pounding on It's time to step back a minute or two To think it over All the vicious circles I'm trembling in Are going further down 10. Loss We are the weak ones In one big, monster machine We are the flesh of the Soulburner We are the lost We are the weak ones In one big, monster machine We are the flesh of the Soulburner Soul 11. Black Days Through all the black days Why can't you hear That sadness surrounds us? And so hard I tried To face the real things in life I can't see how I failed to fly How I failed to fly Black days they scream And it hears our lies It feels so unreal To face our fears When I am lost I run away So deep in my mind To cry out in fear When I am lost I run away so deep in my mind To cry out of fear Faced by reality's screams So hard, so cruel Black days they scream And it hears our lies It feels so unreal To face our fears Through all the black days Why can't you hear That sadness surrounds us?
