Prisoner 03:54
I once got told only the strong would survive so am I a chosen one or do I need to fear losing track of my life? wandering lonely through the days faceless people passing by will I ever find meaning on my way or am I born to die? so I turn my back to the desert of sentiments where water is rare and warmth's a curse nowhere to go, no one to trust am I meant to live like this? so I stand at the edge of the abyss looking down on hell face to face with the flames I gotta decide should I seep away or should I vaporize? I will never be me, I will never be free scorching air burns my lungs leave my burdens burn and rise So I can finally breathe lost and left behind without a sign deaf and blind betrayed by mankind help for the wealthy, love for the heartless that's our pledge to the world! face to face with the flames I gotta decide should I seep away or should I vaporize? I will never be me, I try to be free

Blizzard 04:00
I've been walking for days with no sign of light inches of snow shroud the marks I leave behind stains of emptiness infect the deepest plains inside of me the closer I'm to death, the more I feel alive glistening cold burns my face looking for the roads I tried to trace nothing ahead, nothing behind surrounded by an all devouring white all the warmth that fulfilled me when you wrapped your arms around me You lit a bonfire in my heart and now we're freezing thousand miles apart left behind in the coldest place yet I don't know what made me fall from grace if you come back I'll be waiting here only the frost is what I have to fear I've been walking for days with no sign of light inches of snow shroud the marks I leave behind my time is melting away with every step I take no shelter for a lonely man I am not hopeless, but I am faithless a prisoner of father frost, meant to be lost forever the weeks are dripping away still I am craving for yesterday nowhere I belong, nowhere I can stay nothing of what I'm afraid death climbs up my frozen cheeks I lose the feeling of my fingertips frostbites have studded me for weeks cold burn from my chapped lips the blood pouring in my veins congealing like frozen winter lanes here comes the storm! merge with the infinite white swallowed by the snow I barely keep my mind here comes the storm! left alone in the freezing cold I'm only longing for your hand to hold here comes the storm!

Weightless 03:53
so many times we've been down this road walked the same paths but still strayed all alone grief in our existence, sorrow born along our way reflecting from the mirrors that we built around ourselves too many times we just turned our backs and left the good undone denied by virtues valued wrong now we're standing in a rain of shards grey shades turn gay around our cage perception changed, new shores ahead even when the sunlight fades we shine on standing on the peak of countless broken fragments the mountain path is marked by a red trail we reached the highest highs and payed the price weightless float besides the clouds what once will rise up one day will fall down you can't escape this, there is no way out free fall to earth the past is pulling down no control for this collapse no wings to catch me now free fall to earth! even the smallest puddle mirrors the sky we can fly, so spread your wings and fly have we lost the fight? colors turn to black and white have we lost the fight? my walls are caving in again colors turn to black and white

Salvation 04:39
welcome to the world of hypocrisy where false prophets preach the end of days born in endless misery to consume and adapt in a sway empty words define our lives swallow them and lose your mind we are nothing but a gear in the machine there's nothing else we have ever been so if I break out of the place I'm meant to be is there future or the end waiting for me? What am I supposed to do when I have Nothing to lose Nothing to love Nothing to fight for live through all the fright and still no hope in sight forlorn days that I can't outrun never seen the light of the sun welcome to the world of hypocrisy where false prophets preach the end of days born in endless misery to consume and adapt in a sway a journey like an Odyssey and still no place where i can be free like lonely hunters of the night emptiness flows within my stride scent of despair hangs in the cold tracing footprints of solitude show me the light show me eternity show me the way out show me divinity
