Tracklist: 01. Enchantment [Chorus 1] Like a fever, fever, inside of me Like a fever, fever, inside of me [Verse 1] Stand fast, faithful one See the moon and not the sun but I All I need is a simple reminder Breakdown frail affairs Turn from the elusive stares but I All I need is a simple reminder [Chorus 2] Guilt is feeding, feeding, inside I'm cold Guilt is feeding, feeding, inside I'm cold [Verse 2] In depth grasp the chains Struggle as the waters gain but I All I need is a simple reminder Observe the formation Fight until the battle's won but I All I need is a simple reminder [Bridge] There's no rule to say you'll cry alone Just find the strength to help you carry the load Reverse the frown and let the power surge But when alone you cannot resist the urge [Chorus 3] Can you feel it, feel it, like the pain of dying Can you feel it, feel it, like the pain of dying [Verse 3] Hold on face to face Damaged by the sad disgrace but I All I need is a simple reminder Twisting the knife in vain End the grief but who will gain but I All I need is a simple excuse 02. Hallowed Land [Verse 1] You'd love to be so far away It's not a long way to go It's gonna end in your pain Greet open handed stranger Create the turmoil, you're not sane I want the last one to go to embers will revive So stay [Pre-Chorus] You want to live a lifetime each and every day [Chorus] You've struggled before I swear to do it again You've told it before till I Until I'm weakened and sore [Post-Chorus] Seek hallowed land Seek hallowed land [Verse 2] You'd love to see right through my veins The pale reflection tells all Predominations sustain Crawl over land or mountain In sight the ultimate escape A silhouette subsiding Enticed unable to relate [Pre-Chorus] You want to live a lifetime each and every day [Chorus] You've beckoned before You'll never do it again You've prayed before Who are the prayers for [Post-Chorus] Seek hallowed land Seek hallowed land [Outro] Begone the fools that lead me I need not to know Accept reclining spirit I need to endure You try to live a lifetime each and every day In this short time of promise, you're a memory 03. The Last Time [Verse 1] It's a struggle with a failures frown And it crashes in front of me I see the clouds divide Will you stay or try to leave The time you're looking at the door And you're thinking to walk right through I want to ignore I only wish that it passes soon [Chorus] Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating [Verse 2] I raise a sunken smile As I serve the ones who served What can I achieve As you steal the air I breathe It's a cruel misfortune Forbidding us to see When stories may collide It's a sad state of mind [Chorus] Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating Hearts beating for the last time [Guitar solo] [Chorus/Outro] Hearts beating for the last time Hearts beating still a state of mind Hearts beating Hearts beating for the last time Hearts beating, the peace you cannot find Hearts beating 04. Forever Failure [Intro] Understand procedure, understand war Understand rules, regulations I don't understand sorry [Verse 1] You must feel frustration 'Cause your mind feels such temptation And your ways appear a total lack of faith You may feel elation At your body's recreation And the joy you need, restricted by one thought [Chorus] Are you forever Loss of purpose in a passive life Are you forever Pale, regarded as a waste of time [Verse 2] High times are courageous But in truth they suit no purpose Induced, reduced, unable and afraid Can you feel rejection And a lack of motivation And the joy you need, restricted and delayed [Chorus] Are you forever Loss of purpose in a passive life Are you forever Pale, regarded as a waste of time [Outro] I don't really know what sorry means I've been sorry all my life I'm sorry I was born, that's what my mother told me I don't really know what sorry means I've been sorry all my life I don't really know what sorry means 05. Once Solemn [Verse 1] Once solemn, the things I'm leaving alone Once solemn, the looks that turn one to stone And I'm learning the highs and the lows of the panic inside And I'm learning the highs and the lows of the fake promises [Pre-Chorus] Your powers electrify me Your prowess repels apathy Your image can turn a soul to stone [Chorus] I can't find another way I can't find the words to say [Verse 2] Unchaining the thing that's holding me down And it's frustrating, the pressure's getting me down And it's trying to live with a bad decision every day It's a fever that's eating away in search of a fast release [Pre-Chorus] I say Your powers electrify me Devour the one that's guilty Your image can turn a soul to stone [Chorus] I can't find another way I can't find the words to say [Interlude] Your powers electrify me Devour the one who's guilty Your prowess repels apathy Your image can turn a soul to stone [Chorus] I can't find another way I can't find the words to say 06. Shadowkings A spiral movement, the ultimate mystery Will you show, will you show who you are? It's the truth that untrue suspicion is spreading like a disease Do you know, do you know if it's real? Voices appear inside my brain Their need to set me free Onward they lead before the dawn Teach me what's right and wrong Encourage the madness they welcome impurity I don't know, I don't know who I am! Fallen blind to the cruel hysteria Constantly challenging me All alone, all alone, can't be real Voices approve, I can't relate Their need to celebrate Onward they lead before the dawn Teach me what's right and wrong What's right and wrong Right from wrong What's right from wrong Voices appear, the quest begins Fuel for the shadowkings Onward they lead before the dawn Teach me what's right and wrong 07. Elusive Cure Take a pact, hide the fuel that's gathered here Pale in view, a fool resigns and taken over Skin your pride, it's stripped and taken from you Buried deep are the souls that are waiting for you And only you, you may attempt to proceed The sharpest point is aimed at you Where the pain strikes is clear Regret, refrain, I can no longer bear it Regret, refrain, I can no longer, longer, longer bear it Rising ages increase elusive cures A moral life sacrificed, greed's taken over Ride to take and the craving's buried deeper Reaching out grasping arms that are waiting for you And only you, you may attempt to proceed The sharpest point is aimed at you Where the pain strikes is clear Regret, refrain, I can no longer bear it Regret, refrain, I can no longer, longer, longer bear it 08. Yearn For Change [Verse 1] Approaching a silence, a blur of subsidence Time may heal all troubles, is that what I've found? Joy entices all, until death's lonely shroud But I know it's forever [Chorus] Praying for a change Praying for a change [Verse 2] Our lives leading onwards, the essence is stronger Memories of life drifting further away I must doubt that where there's a will there's a way But I know it's forever [Chorus] Praying for a change Praying for a change [Bridge] Life is all the pain we endeavour Life is all the pain we endeavour Life is all the pain we endeavour Life is all the pain we endeavour Life is all the pain we endeavour [Chorus] Praying for a change Praying for a change Praying for a change Praying for a change 09. Shades Of God The fire is gone, a time to search and then replace I'll never know just how the blind can lead the way They search for faith, it shows the way, it leads the way The distant smile, banished denial, no more denial Are you the one who tries to send me to the grave I cannot know what deals the truth, what deals the pain Weak search for faith A path to take, you tread in vain The distant smile, banished denial, no more denial 10. Hands Of Reason [Verse 1] I speak of people Whose game is disguise The myth of flavour Appears with no sign [Pre-Chorus 1] 'Cause I see it coming Just like a long lost friend A temple of rubble The low and blind betray [Verse 2] Inane, the pleasures That leave a sorry state You're told of treasures Indulgence cannot wait [Pre-Chorus 2] But wait for tomorrow And steal some sanity Insane thoughts are borrowed Unable to repay them back [Chorus 1] As I now fall Fall into deprivation Fall Fallen there's still tomorrow Love hides the things you'll never know [Post-Chorus] You'll never know A lack of reason That makes a mortal man Untold the treason The past where it began [Pre-Chorus 3] 'Cause I see the horror Horror to think about Insane thoughts are borrowed Unable to repay them back [Chorus 2] As I see the blood Blood on the hands of reason Blood Bloody the hands that lead me Love for the ones you cannot know 11. I See Your Face Coming back today, the pounding thoughts relay It's a time that's for myself I'm laying low, strife is gaining slow A kind of anguish I don't need When I see your frown, hurt will put me down If I could see a light shining Is this borrowed time, maybe a final time That I can see a light shining Will you make it slow, 'cause evil makes it slow I know you're brandishing the sign Dare I take a chance in this circumstance Or will I leave without a hope When you seal my fate, sorrow turns to hate If I can see a light shining Is this borrowed time, maybe a final time That I can see a light shining What one man makes is there for one to take A single handed fall from grace Heart's beating fast, beating till the last A draining feeling's all that I know When I see your frown, it becomes my frown If I could see a light shining Is this borrowed time, maybe a final time That I can see a light shining See a light shining 12. Jaded [Verse 1] Opaque the dissident establishment that we all suffer Refill the porous shell with words that mean so many things Words mean so many things [Chorus] The feeling can't avoid you The feeling can't avoid you [Verse 2] Stoking the fires of absence Loss and anguish long departed Adjust to changing, re-arranging, burns in many ways Pain burns in many ways [Chorus] The feeling can't avoid you The feeling can't avoid you The feeling can't avoid you The feeling can't avoid you
