NEWBORN
I saw it in your eyes
That something changed your mind
While falling from the skies of man
And once you realized
That all was built were lies
And the pain you feel was yours and mine
Just breathe now
You’ll know how
Embrace your life today
Come forth now,
It’s all about
Embracing life today
That moment changed your heart
A kindle hope for a new start
To break loose from the fears inside
But could you say
That life’s gonna be any different
And that fear won’t cross your way?
CHORUS
SOLO
But life is just a game
May go back being the same
It depends on how you meet you ends

Who We Are

WHO WE ARE
Watching, trying, falling
Rise with your own strength
The reason is simple
We always have to overcome
The fears and tears
And stand for what’s to come
That’s what we are due
And to feel is our prize
It makes us who we are
Passionate beings
And makes us gaze the stars
To find our meaning
The things that we’re after
May change all our lives
But what makes us what we are
These amazing creatures
Is our loving heart
Questions, rising, proposing
We are not alone
I see me, through you
And so we’ll have to overcome
Through fears and tears
And stand for what’s to come
That’s what we are due
So come to my side
It makes us who we are
Passionate beings
And makes us gaze the stars
To find our meaning
The things that we’re after
May change all our lives
But what makes us what we are
These amazing creatures
Gathering pictures of our life
Changing features in our mind
For a brand new start
And when the odds are turning
I see that we are learning
Together, we grow
SOLO
It makes us who we are
Passionate beings
And makes us gaze the stars
To find our meaning
The things that we’re after
May change all our lives
But what makes us what we are

It Takes Time

IT TAKES TIME
Once we lived in a world of fantasies
Only aware of our destinies
There we were, so close together
But when you think of it
We might as well been worlds apart
It was lonely then, we felt empty
Tearing us apart
It takes time to heal
And dealing with the anger
And all those ghosts before us
Haunting, so that we open our eyes
It takes time to heal
And dealing with the answers
What lies here before all of us
Are the pictures of our insanity
And the more we tried to fall behind
To turn away and forget our lives
As a child scared in our rooms at night
But now it feels as there is always light
CHORUS
It takes time X2

Right or Wrong

|
RIGHT OR WRONG
Saying yes or no
Is it better than saying nothing?
Should we make our rules
And let them guide your inner purpose?
What is there to find?
Everyone does it so I presume it’s right
What is there to hide?
Right or wrong,
This unshakeable feeling inside
Is it right or wrong
If you only believe in yourself
Is this right or wrong?
What is it that you can’t follow
Is there such a thing?
The ebb and flow of thoughts and sorrow
For not getting everything
What is there to find?
Everyone does it so I presume it’s right
What is there to hide?
CHORUS
Why this uneasiness,
This aching sense of morality?
Discriminated, between fame and infamy
Opportunities, here and there
Ready to be taken
Faced with choices
Your inner voices
Should we follow them?
CHORUS

Mass Hypnosis

MASS HYPNOSIS
There was a time for dreams and hope alike
Where there was wonder and truth
But like a gust of wind that swept all the land
All this was taken from us
The "strangers" have come again
To propose things we don’t need
To convince us of our misery
They preached for a better life
And we fools believed in lies
They’re inducing a mass hypnosis
A web of lies
Minds in cages it’s mass hypnosis
Until you have no life
This game of mirrors
Tainted all the land
And sowed the seed of malice in our souls
They sold promises of richness to us
All this we had before our eyes
They preached for a better life
And we fools believed in lies

SOW AND REAP
Less is more
To maintain the war
Against the enemies of equity
Grace our lords,
For they have come to ensure
That no one endures
The hardships of the past
But you sow, and they reap
On the pretense of a common goal
And they laugh and you weep
They are renting your liberty
This was how
It came to be
The fortune of humanity
Placed in the hands
Of deceivers
That fooled us all
Naive believers
But you sow, and they reap
On the pretense of a common goal
And they laugh and you weep
They are taking your dignity
SOLO
But you sow, and they reap
On the pretense of a common goal
And they laugh and you weep
They are taking your liberty
But you sow, and they reap
On the pretense of a common goal
And they laugh and you weep
They are taking your dignity

BITTER ADDICTION
Hey, the answers don’t lay with you,
So don’t think of them as your secret
Hey, it’s not over what we’ve started
So don’t go wasting your arrogance
Please don’t turn your back on me
Please don’t you do it like this
‘Cause we need you,
To understand what we’ve been through
Yes we need you, to live our sour lives
Of silence we are fed up with
And those conversations,
We’ve heard them enough
We just can’t stand their contempt look
As if they were more than someone else
Please don’t turn your back on me
Please don’t you do it like this
‘Cause we need you,
To understand what we’ve been through
Yes we need you, to live our sour lives
And they hate you, because you take us for fools
But we need you, to see for our lives
SOLO
‘Cause we need you,
To understand what we’ve been through
Yes we need you, to live our sour lives
And we hate you, because you take us for fools
Yes we need you, to see for our lives
Yes we need you x4

THE CIRCLE OF DEATH
So, this is coming to an end
Did they even care?
Not even dared to try like some tried, like some tried
They’re not the only ones to blame,
Even we should be ashamed
For giving away our free will, can’t you see it?
Hope in the future is faint, all laid to waste
Too obsessed to see the signs
Humanity being left behind
Now these pages, they must not burn
And throughout the ages that we’ve roamed
We never learned to love our own
It’s a burden for loving our delusions
And now it's time to let it go,
And I understand, that in the name of one goal,
One tramples on you
We’ve always tried to reason,
But were too blind to see our treason
To our aching hearts, aching
War is our future again, all laid to waste
CHORUS
Do we really have to carry on and feed these demons inside?
It’s still our selfishness that drove this war upon us
