One Second Choice 03:12
lyrics
buy track
He got sick, pretty sick Death sure he will regret all this He got sick, pretty sick To see the thing’s eyes open He got scared freakin’ scared And rejected the child he built He got scared so damn For this he left it all (x2) Chorus: See our friend, weak and tired Destroying his own creature is his life Hang on, hang on The fallen angel’s laughing here we are The Modern Prometheus made a choice Hang on, hang on It got worse, pretty worse, For accidental cowardice unleashed pain, Dreadful pain To everything around them They’re all dead, fuckin’ dead A wife, a brother aren’t worth it They’re all dead, ice-cold dead It wasn’t worth at all (x2) Chorus One poor second one mistake They grew upon the same lie Hated beast, son fortunate They’ll die upon the same lie Chorus

Phantoms 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Did the feel like anything could ever change? Frightening empty streets Human phantoms appear, then gone Feel the tension, how could they bear what they faced, Nobody there, nobody there What will happen if they come? Pre: And you, so scared… Fear for every step Fear for every step You closed your eyes but raised your chin Chorus: Stand up for your dreams See the world filling in again With smiling faces here we stand, yeah Sow the seeds of grace From the ashes it grows again With smiling faces here we stand Did the feel like anyone would see the change? Frightening busy streets Old phantoms appear, then gone Still some pressure, ready to bear what they faced Nobody there, nobody there What will happen when they’re gone? Pre Chorus The old phantoms, gone If they’re still there let’s break’em all You’re ready for a change? (x2) Chorus

The Void 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Wooden scent, feels electric Hide out from the world, blow some steam Step into the void, whisper all your secrets Someplace where the walls have no ears Pre: Head down, the tension mounts The earth has gone; you’re in your head! Head up, the switch is on You’re feeling drawn; your people stand! Acrid smell, ignoring your stench Feel the blows, change your mood, feel your fears Step into the void, scream your deepest angers This place is all yours, make it real Pre Chorus: We can start this all No matter what, the sound will feed us We can start this all Will you come around and see?

Soft Words 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Every bit of me is a man, a real one, you know You’ll be hit but you’ll smile Do not think I like it, I hate it, it’s ugly but, Nothing is worth more than pride You’re not right, coward, never! Pre: Soft words make it even, you know Tomorrow you’ll feel guilt, so much Trust me, I’m not him, yeah, you know? You know… Chorus: Weak or strong Now you’ve gone too far Bruises all along Then you go, then you go Remember the night, the two lights, the engine, the woods, I had to make it right Do not think I loved it, or maybe a little but, Cannot picture it right Now you’re out, coward, gone Pre Chorus: Weak or strong Now you’ve gone too far Bruises all along Then you go, then you go Have you gone insane? Now look right at her! You punched her in the face, She would give you the world, yeeeah Chorus: Weak or strong Now you’ve gone too far Bruises all along Then you go, then you go Have you gone insane? Now look right at her! You punched her in the face, She would give you the world! For you there’s a place, And we’ll not be your judges And you go, and you go…

Come see the world my way Lend me a piece of time, a minute of your day I do not beg, I take You’ll feel another self, Yeah see the world my way A ray of light in your boring life I’ll show you how the sun can shine, Your eyes Your all-time sealed mouth Dirty pale skin Give it to me Chorus: Stay alive, It’s you the one who’s blind, no, it’s not them Prepare to feel how the real life is like And see the world now Stay alive, It’s you the one who’s blind, no, it’s not them Prepare to feel how the real life is like And see the world my way Come see the world my way Accept your other self Yeah feel the world this way Your body is yours but your mind is mine No ain’t no way you can resign to life Your stubborn sealed mouth Boring pale skin Give it to me Chorus I know you’re there to steal my eyes I know you’re there to kill me

What do you stand for? 03:18
lyrics
buy track
They’ll never see this world they sang, Misleading anthems Rich family, kingdoms, virgins, peace, yeah Then they replace them, Another lad full of ignorance Stir up the poor’s dreams for their games They’ll never see heaven nor hell, Misunderstood them Only this world you’ll have to change Chorus: What do you stand for, What is worth my blood or yours to be spilled? No reason for the dumb What do you stand for? Stay away from my own selfish ideals! Reason, let it go Don’t take your voices to your grave Someone will need them There’s also something such as faith A scream, a protest, Another hit to useless violence Spill everyone’s dreams with your ink, say! Chorus Say, are you coming for more? (x2) What are you dying for? Say what are you killing for?

Seven Seas 05:07
lyrics
buy track
Your hand across the shore I’d give everything for Magic of your embrace Please for the end of days To those who said before The seven seas are more I say, believe me there’s A universe in your neck The tides, they may stand all against me I’d cross the ocean again I don’t fear the storms now I’m ready I’d cross it once more A smile I can explore Sorrows I won’t ignore Horizons wide open Come with me, see this world See me crying, see me grow Together we will stand Peacefully make it real Chorus You by my side, I found my place on earth, now Oh they were right, freedom begins with you
