You and I
Face to face, again
You came, you saw, you left me behind
Your act of betrayal has made me so blind
Burning me down, burning me down
When the fire is rising again and again
It feels like I’m seeing now
Flames kept hidden inside
Abused and alone, helpless child
Soaked in blood, no one by my side
Beating me down, beating me down
When the fire is rising again and again
It feels like I’m seeing now
Flames kept hidden inside
When the fire is rising again and again
It feels like you realize
How you broke me inside
When the fire is rising again and again
It feels like I’m seeing now
Flames kept hidden inside
When the fire is rising again and again
It feels like you realize
How you broke me inside
( Giraudo )
A cry of loneliness fills the empty air
Her static pose to haunt me till the end of days
Deprived of her sweet touch, and the warmth of her soft skin
Ho listen God, her blood is on your hands
You turned your back on me as a Judas incarnation
Despite the prayers your denial fed my deception
Yes I did believe in your ways, your empty promises
But that was yesterday, now I burn them all to the ashes
A taste of bitterness, and you only answer silence
It makes me question the very truth of your existence
You condemned us, and nailed us into this temple oblivion
Like you made him bleed on the cross, your thorn crowned only son
You turned your back on me as a Judas incarnation
Despite the prayers your denial fed my deception
Yes I did believe in your ways, your empty promises
But that was yesterday, now I burn them all to the ashes
I searched the sense of your omniabsence
Questioned my faith, your demand of obedience
It seems to me you take more than what you give
Through all the lies, a wolf preaches in sheep’s disguise
You turned your back on me as a Judas incarnation
Despite the prayers your denial fed my deception
Yes I did believe in your ways, your empty promises
But that was yesterday, now I burn them all to the ashes
( Giraudo )
In her arms do you feel secure?
She kept me away
Trapped inside this hell you endure
She tore me and let me fade away
I see it crystal clear now
I can’t accept this no longer
A web of rose you kept weaving
Spinning around you and me
Like a dog on leash you obey
Now I see all I left behind
Family and friends kept away
How could I ever be so blind?
I see it crystal clear now
I can’t accept this no longer
A web of rose you kept weaving
Spinning around you and me
I see it crystal clear now
I can’t accept this no longer
A web of rose you kept weaving
Spinning around you and me
( Giraudo / Lindquist )
Grey walls surrounds me
I’m a stranger in this land
I’m stranded, I’m bleeding
Sweet angel, come to me
Let me hold you in my arms
She’s crying, she’s pleading
A storm is coming
We must be moving
I’m holding on with all my might
And I will keep you by my side
We must find a way
I will do what it takes, even if I must sacrifice my soul
As I watch my world crumble, I will rise up
And live to fight another day
Does it make you feel complete?
When you leave us, to this misery
We’re stranded, we’re bleeding
Speak to me, instead of bowing
to a god, you will never reach
We’re crying, we’re pleading
A storm is coming
We must be moving
I’m holding on with all my might
And I will keep you by my side
We must find a way
I will do what it takes, even if I must sacrifice my soul
As I watch my world crumble, I will rise up
And live to fight another day
I will do what it takes, even if I must sacrifice my soul
As I watch my world crumble, I will rise up
And live to fight another day
I will do what it takes, even if I must sacrifice my soul
As I watch my world crumble, I will rise up
And live to fight another day

Creating a world devoid of substance
Feeding on its digital existence
Re-join the clan - turn off your brain
Surrender to AI’s control
Standing by, illusive light
Hiding away from it all
Prepare to fall, deceptive world
Fading away from it all... from it all
Can’t you see its fantasy?
You live in a land where the darkness unseen
Can’t you feel the dream is unreal?
You’re falling away - awaken from this world
Can’t you see its fantasy?
You live in a land where the darkness unseen
Can’t you feel the dream is unreal?
You’re falling away - awaken from this world
Enter the game, feed on its frame
Let it gain control
Engage the quest - forget the friends
Do not forget your role
Embrace the light - pretend its true
A brand new world opens itself to you
Standing by, illusive light
Hiding away from it all
Prepare to fall, deceptive world
Fading away from it all... from it all
Can’t you see its fantasy?
You live in a land where the darkness unseen
Standing by, illusive light
Hiding away from it all
Prepare to fall, deceptive world
Fading away…
Can’t you see its fantasy?
You live in a land where the darkness unseen
Can’t you feel the dream is unreal?
You’re falling away - awaken from this world
Can’t you see its fantasy?
You live in a land where the darkness unseen
Can’t you feel the dream is unreal?
You’re falling away - awaken from this world

See the light fade away
Just before my eyes
My days are darkening
Shadows dwell in the deep
Causing me to flee
All is lost, faith broken
Forced to hide my guilt
The pain won’t go away
I seek and pray
At the break of dawn, a new hope is born
Light the fire and guide my way
At the break of dawn, a new hope is born
Light the fire and lead me away
From this dark place within
( Giraudo / Lindquist )
Part I – The Room
Silence, darkness, Mum is away
I just close my eyes and dream of a fairy tale
Footsteps, sense Him, behind the door
He shuts my mouth, pretending it’s just a game
Save my soul
Save my soul
It all seemed so far away
But still it keeps haunting her night and day
She silently aches in pain
Her bottles and pills, hiding memories
Part II – The Desire
Touching, softly, please go away
He just closes my eyes and tells me not to worry
Screaming, struggling, to break free
He’s touching me harder, innocence fading
Save my soul
Save my soul
It all seemed so far away
But still it keeps haunting her night and day
She silently aches in pain
Her bottles and pills, hiding memories
I can feel now, it’s burning within
The desire, bring him down on his knees
That’s when I can be reborn again
Part III – The Confrontation
It all comes back to me, shadows beneath the surface
Torn by the memories, everlasting scars
Running through the ashes, with a gun in hand
My hatred is burning, now you kneel before me
My anger is bleeding, for your sins you will pay
I’m afraid it’s the only way to save my, save my soul
It all seemed so far away
But still it keeps haunting her night and day
She silently aches in pain
Her bottles and pills, hiding memories
I can feel now, I’m alive again
The desire, is no longer a burden
And now I can be reborn again
( Giraudo / Lindquist )
Floating in a river of lies
Trying to see the world through your eyes
I want to know, what’s on your mind
All these thoughts make me go blind
Don’t try to run away from it all
Stop hiding from the truth
That’s all I need to know, need to be sure
Spit it out, is this how you feel?
Feeling insecure, lost in agony
I just hope my tears can break the silence
I am falling down - will I ever rise?
You’ve closed the gate to my freedom
I got now where to run, this place is my prison
Left alone in my darkest hours
Spinning in a whirlwind of sorrow
Is this it? Is this how it ends?
I need to go on, leave the past behind
My broken heart will mend
Feeling insecure, lost in agony
It’s you and your lies that caused our fall
I am falling down - will I ever rise?
You’ve closed the gate to my freedom
I got now where to run, this place is my prison
Left alone in my darkest hours
Feeling insecure, lost in agony
It’s over now - the tide is turning
I have fallen down, but now I’ve risen again
You closed the gate to my freedom
I was trapped in myself, with no where to run
Left alone in my darkest hours
The scenes from yesterday
They are now long gone
The sum of all my fears, they’re over now
The tide is turning
( Giraudo / Lindquist )
Faces, gazing on
Venom running deep through your veins
I’m the one that leads you astray
Tripping through this blackened delirium
Forever and ever, he falls
Into the darkness he’s throwing his whole life away
Wasted times, ran in vain
Into the blackness he’s burning his whole life away
Wasted times, wasted
Naked, livid numb
Needles will help you carry on
Until you keep asking for more
He has reached the point of no return
But this night, the show must go on
Into the darkness he’s throwing his whole life away
Wasted times, ran in vain
Into the blackness he’s burning his whole life away
Wasted times, wasted times
Into the darkness he’s throwing his whole life away
Wasted times, ran in vain
Into the blackness he’s burning his whole life away
Wasted times, wasted
( Giraudo / Lindquist )
Years have gone by,
But still the memories.. They haunt me
Will I ever be free from this pain?
Day and night I’ve endured
this wretched world
My dream of being reborn,
was this just a lie?
It all comes back to me, shadows beneath the surface
These wounds might never heal,
So I wonder.. Can I suppress what I feel?
Aching inside, darkness turned to pain
Needs to cease the fire
And let the water rain
It’s time to open up my eyes
See the beauty underneath
What life can bring
Pre-chorus
These scars have given me a new sight
Now my vision will always be bright
Hoping to find the answers in time,
the dawn of a new day is coming
Breaking out from this misery,
Seasons change, winter to spring
I will go on
Unlocking my past, truth be told
What I seek will bring me home
Bring me home
Bring me home
Bring me home
Eternal pain, go away
This is the last time we meet
Forever and ever
These scars have given me a new sight
Now my vision will always be bright
Hoping to find the answers in time,
the dawn of a new day is coming
Breaking out from this misery,
Seasons change, winter to spring
I will go on
Unlocking my past, truth be told
What I seek will bring me home
I feel alive again – everlasting scars
Finding my way home – surrender to the pain
Bring me home
Hoping to find the answers in time,
the dawn of a new day is coming
Breaking out from this misery,
Seasons change, winter to spring
I will go on
Unlocking my past, truth be told
What I seek will bring me home
Bring me home
