1. The Last Call

I stroll through days and nights
And through hours of weeping
Can i mend by broken heart by
Speaking to myself
I`ve been lost and found
And broken down bye the treason in your eyes
I큩e been turned around
Burned upside down by the fraud in all your lies

Feel the lights are fading within me
There's a void and a growing anxiety
I can feel the bitter end draws near
I concede this life has nothing more for me

I fall through rays of light
In the hours of redeeming
Last call and far too late now
As far as i can tell
I`ve been burned in life, burned too many times
Wheel of fire's still burning
I have done my time, walked too many lines
And my soul keeps on burning

2. My Mind's Eye

If you were here
I'd whisper sweet nothings in your ear
And appeal to all your fears
If you were mine, if you were only mine
I'd bring you so much further down
And twist your mind until the end of time

You will never realize
What darkness lies inside my mind

If you are down
I will come to chain you to the ground
And penetrate your mind
If you are lost, if only you are lost
I'll be there to break you trust
And ravage all your lust for life, my love

[x3]
You will never realize
What darkness lies inside my mind

3. One By One

There's a river that runs along
Your fading hope and darkened days to come
The lights are fading out once more
I see you falter so lost and blind
I know a shadow still lingers in in your mind
But i can`t lead you on, not this time

I`ve been dreaming for far too long
And my dreams all break one by one
I'm still standing, still facing the fall
Will i give in the distant calls

I`ve been watching your crumbling walls
I`ve endured a thousand tears or more
In a frozen moment of time, i see you fall
Only memories remain of you now
You' ve given in to darkness and to doubt
You couldn`t find the strength to cast
The demons out

4. Sundown

From a distance
I can see you descend
Like golden grains of sand
A weeping sun is descending
And the moon now ascending here
In these cold winterlands

I' ve been strolling through the pouring rain
In search of better days
I`ve been strolling down the darkest of lanes
Just to find it`s all in vain

The sundown gives birth to another night
As the moon comes crawling across the sky
My soul feels cold and my heart is tired
I`m burning inside, can`t stop the flames, the fire

From a distance
I can see you pretend
That your life's on the mend
A thousand riverines weeping
And a silvermoon sweeping swift
Across forsaken lands

I' ve been crawling on my knees and hands
I' ve watched all suns descend
I' ve been dreaming some day, I'll ascend
Before the bitter end

5. Absent Without Leave

I can feel the eyes of your despair
Even where you're not here
I can feel your pain within myself
It's still keeping me down here
Life keeps on growing colder year by year
With a winter heart and my frozen tears
I stand lone to face my darkest fears

I' ve been wasting away, i' ve been fading inside
I' ve been drifting away from the lights in my life
I' ve been living in vain, living insane
I' ve been tripping down all the darkest of lanes

There's a shadow that dwells inside your head
Within mine as well
Turns our lives into a living hell
Like a curse and a spell
I' ve been drifting away from days of light
I' ve been swept away far into the night
I guess I'll never ever make it back

On a morning, a summer dawn
You speak in riddles and rhymes
From a distance your life it seems
Like a frozen heart in neon dreams

6. The Other Side

There's a light and a darkened road
There's a night and a fading hope
There was a dream that once was mine
But now it seems it has passed with time

Sail away my little sister
Sail away to the other side
Sail away my little sister
Sail away far into the night
Where times seems much better
Than this void called life

There's a voice inside my head
There was a hope, now now long since dead
It's all a wonder, will I abide
I hear you calling from the other side

7. Seven Keys And Nine Doors

Keep on falling, I keep falling down
So far, far, deeper and further
Keep on calling, I keep calling you now
But I can`t hear no answers
I' ve been feeling so lost
I`m giving in on in all

Voices calling in the back of my mind
They're calling all the time
I face a door, but there's no key to be found
When my life comes crashing down
As my last day unfolds
And hands turn numb and cold

Sail on my love
Sail on to the other side
Sail on further into the night

Wane. staring through my window pane
World gone insane
A fading flame
In the falling September rain
I strive in vain to find a way
To case the pain

8. Downfall

I can see you walk out away
Turn your back on all your feelings
Seems you're loosing yourself again
To a void so devastating
And I can't deny I am the one,
The one to blame
For all your loss and your fading flame

Life it feels like a frozen winter dream
Like a silent scream
Life it feels like a thousand frozen tears
And the night dwells within me

I can see you break down again
All your life you've been bound to treason
On your knees and your tears descend
Oh your life's a fallen season
And time can not heal these wounds my friend,
Not again
So here you'll stand to face the end

Beyond the silence
Where your voices whisper to my heart
In the midst of December
On a night that comes without a star
I fall into darkness
Like I've done a thousand times before
I've burned all bridges
To the treacherous world outside my door

9. Glades Of Summer

In the fields of summer
I will dance away with you
I never knew the pain would see us through
And though we fear the silence
We never ever realized
That life was only passing gently by

When the darkness seems to fall
Then I can hear you call
Your voice is clearer now than before
And in the summer rain
I큞l carry all your pain
If I could only see you again

In the glades of summer
A light still wanes in you
Like winter days long gone
In midst of June
And though the cross feels lighter
On a warm midsummer night
Why do we then still feel so cold inside

When the darkness seems to fall
Then I can hear you call
Your voice is weaker now than before
And in the summer rain
You gave in to your pain
And life will never be the same again
