2. Arena Of Concealment

the image of the world I live in

born into to fall into oblivion

is the huge arena of illusion & deceit

nothing's real

not a thing curtain call & the show starts,

commonness and self-leceration against the unceasing

lape of redemption - clowns

the masters of disguise

are man's prototype my fear of the future increases

this arena is crowded with clowns

curtain call & the show starts

just one tear releases a violent river

3. In My Heart

the heaviness of my heart seems a

burden to me - whatever they preach

I have to look for people like me

ans so I have to join the wrong

unmindful of virtue I am eggier for

the pleasure of love more than for

salvation - I am seized by desire but I

have to keep the darkness night hidden

in the depth of my heart - it's the most

bitter fate - fate is against me

in love and virtue

I am heartened by my promise

I am downcast by my refusal

there is nothing I need from anyone

expect love and respect and anyone

who can't give me those two things

has no place in my life be sure before

I'll finish - I intend to celebrate this hell

I am involved in

4. Destruction

mandkind's birth caused destruction

two feelings of love & hate

manipulation is the way to hide the truth

you control your feelings to reach your aims

you check up the thoughts

to press upon your decision

lies on the world

they are crossing the land

and until there is one world

with one lie - one world - one lie

5. A Small Boy And A Grey Heaven

I turn inside of myself - look back into my past -

into nothing - the best time in life - barely present

I wish I could go back - tell that nice little boy

to be stronger - to be brave - bu I can't

he had his chance

I burn - scream - I despair on these thoughts of

the past - I realize that I had barely lived

but just existed - it's too late now

and my thoughts feed on this grief - the grief

creates tears that burn my skin

unable to ease the pain - I float in hoplessness

for the time is gone and the boy is a man now

the end - a beginning for everything flows and

we live to change - live to learn

the future's still open and to be lived like

the past has been wasted - with hope in my

heart I look forward

6. Skit I

[Instrumental]

7. A Faint Moment Of Fortune

moonlight - a glance of the moon into my

blurred eyes - the darkness gives way

to the beauty of the evening light and

in a faint moment in this sheer

endless time of despair and thought

everything seems right - but it ain't

and my soul drowns in self-pity

it's so damn hard to keep one's face

to do the right thing

moonlight - beautiful moonlight

give back my heart to me

8. Skit II

[Instrumental]

9. Supervision Until Death

tortured by the agaony of selfleceration - full of pain

and fear - my sense of self-preservation keeps me

alive - the whole way of life paved by affliction

and danger - more & more I recognize the cruelty

of reality - reality the greatest plot of life

one walks - talks - sees - breathes - but doesn'T

live - no - rather serve the growing edifice

that controlsour so - called life - death gives

way to the living - straight into freedom

way out of this edefice

everyone a brick in this stonework

and day by day more people live in it

hour by hour yheir power rises

and inevitably steals our breath

10. Always Following Life

blizzards reign the fires by

the pod - their cold heat set ablaze my

burning soul - embodiment at least

a fear rises - the storm clams the choires

forever - maybe even death

the birds move forward and try to escape

always following life

my fire - an ice desert - I burn

laughter experiences death

the death experiences life

11. Pollution

you look back

and the ocean

are colored black

animals are going sick

the reason is the black slick

no green

is able

to remain

by the toxic acid rain

that's called polution

12. Sylca

[Instrumental]

13. Intolerance (Ignorance II)

my hope - our world - bursting due

to the closed - minded thinking

of the shortsighters

grinning faces - watching me

scared by my individuality

but these ridiculous attempt will

only leave me stronger

I'm living for myself and not for

anyone else

my fire will burn eternally

I won't accept your intolerance

14. De Rebus Que Greunter

what urge me to do right?

the emptiness - the conciousness of living in

the void of the feral muting against the vacant - cold

void - the incensed endeavour to

rescing the fact of vacuty to be doomed

neverthless - my imagination - just symbols or

repressed desires? - vision of adoration and

death? - and the disillusion of living in

a world that has to be rescued - an age

that is sainted to mental decline and

my incapability to struggle for liberation

my last minute should not be marked

by the realization that I never really lived

Vent (2001)

1. Entrance

[Instrumental]

2. Fire Of Night

Demons out of the darkness.

Fire of night. Allying existence of the evil.

My life? Just a game?

Dependance and mania.

Desire shows you the way.

The gates to the coldness are open.

The way back is full of stones. Just like my heart.

My existence. Identity is breaking.

The coldness keeps pulling me into it's ban.

An unbelievable size of power.

Luck ans pain are close together.

Luck or pain. The pain is ripping my life into pieces.

I'm in prison of my destiny. Too low is my energy!!!

3. Love Taken Away

Now i'm sitting here writting about the lonelyness.

It's a bad day and the reasons for that are trivial!!!

Love taken away.

Throughts at the mercy of the past.

Destroying myself.

My inside is crying for help.

Who cares? [x3]

I forgot to live for the moment.

I don't want to be wath I'm am!

Wath will be in the future?

I don't know what to expect.

4. In The Eye Of The Storm

Deep eyes. Subdued light. Hand in hand.

In the eye of the storm [x2]

everything is flowing and discharging into us.

My mouth open. Lava flow.

Eyes close in the eye of the storm

the silence is breath taking in the eye of the storm.

Substances join. Togther immortal.

We become one in the eye of the storm.

On the way agains the truth.

A trip through light and time all problems become smashed.

All pain becomes happiness eyes open.

Scream come out. Wishes turn into pictures.

My heart stop beating.

The ban breaks Just to remember smile at me one more time.

The last time! In the eye of the storm.

5. About Time And Decisions

When time decides.

The circle made from love and trust breaks.

The chain breaks. An emptieness reveals.

Memories start to swallow me.

Searching the unknown of frustration from being into nothing.

Freedom. Way stars. My aim.

The joy of existhing.

What remained of waitin so long was the bitter

and painful experience of being left.

Reality. I'm tightly embraced Wounds of love never going to heal.

As long as the past remains. Only covered by illusion.

The outer wrap breaks from inner pain.

Got to be strong and egoistic. Thats the way it is.

Oh our so beautiful world.

A world dies lonely. ...and the beginning of nothing...

6. Roots Of Pain

In the darkness of the night.

Being moved by the shine of the moon.

Considering and full of hope.

I'm only way to the roots of pain.

Condamned to love.

Yearning all my demanding embodied in you.

I'm imprisoned of your control to live myself.

Your eyes look so empty. I'm scared to dip in.

In fear to find the end of a love.

The time hurts with every hit and the question of your love.

I just want to love what charms me!

A small spark is a big hope!!!

7. Happiness In Slavery

Revolution of the past is only spiritual at last the power to figth self,

evident become weaker

the will to stand up for your conviction has fade away,

and now passes the dream of happiness in compassion of our own.

8. Tyranny Of Small Misery

The wake up means walking on the edge.

Wrong desicions running through my veinsé Immortal sorrow scars on my soul.

Rejected and trapped in myself.

Black velvet was the gift of the time.

Nothing left to loose.

Nothing to believe hands tied feet chained.

Hidind behind shadows of anger.

To wake up means walking on the edge.

But I often feel that misery.

Is the most important part of being happy!

9. For

Bark skin. I'm lying here. Still.

Throughts hush eyes closing repeating this moment.

Waiting for. Your abscence veils my sleep.

My dreams. I'm moving in time.

No when And yet you don't now. But my heart does.

'Cause from the first moment I was caught and

delivered a long the vanished warmth regained life in me.

Thank...you!

10. My Last Beauty

A morning full of death.

Beauty trapped in miserable emtiness.

Offer me life. Offer me love.

Don't ask me where the sunshine's gone.

Offer me life. Offer me love. Offer me the moon.

All my figthing in this shadow land is in vain.

Searching the inner clarity - Reality of my existance.

Feeling empty. Endless the way.

Endless the search and the distortion of the present.

Shadow land a place of silence love?

Happyness? Emptiness! Lonelyness! Alone is the death!

Nigth the beauty of silence a different consciousness to complexe for reality.

Misunderstood feelings in the circle of life.

But the moon is still There!

11. New Kind Of Freedom

Sweet sins scars my horizon.

Got nothing to expect in this emotional unstable time.

Looking forward there is a meanningless life to go.

Path of sorrow! Age of decay!

Pictures of wrong decisions veils my sleep but the lines are drawns.

Nothing could release me. Am I born to excuse my way of thinking?

Am I force to justifiy who I am? Death.

Sweet death could be a mercyful fate.

Delivered of despair.

New kind of freedom.

A new kind of face.

12. Sycamore Dreams

You're the source.

My disbelief in innocence arise.

Feel that gosth seducing me.

Try to reach a hand in that golden circle.

You are no angel. And my heart is more than emptyness.

In the shadow of myself and I sleep under the trees

and no one else is sleeping well.

Burn me tonight. Feeing my lies slip away.

Burn me tonight.

And kill the demos in me.

Facing a saint feeling my life slip away.

Burn me tonight.

Until I'm disapointed.

Burn me tonight and kill the demons in me.

I disbelief in the summer in pearl lake.

I'm the pine float.

And now you're falling apart from me.

You are no angel!!!

13. Erase The Enemy

This is a war.

Everything normal smashed.

Cruelty comes down the land and there only losers.

Fight up until the end.

Death becomes daily and the humanity boggy.

Blood flow through the streets.

Mandkind means sickness!

By the order of the devil they march and destroy [x2]

and the mind remains on the route.

Torture.

Destroy, kill, erase the enemy!!! [x4]

Give up your mind and be mechanism.

Who disobeys is hostile and enemies have got to die.

Human being or mechanism.

You've got the choice...human being.

Shadow Hearts (2003)

1. Dark Shadows

[Instrumental]

2. Forsaken Horizon

a glance back, a glance into the now

tears sweeten the day, but the aftertaste is bitter

where are the good old times, where is my dependence - bullet!

in your presence my memories swallow me

moment for moment you throw me back

a new way, the same paths, old fears

I'm the tool of my demons,

they hide the depths of my soul, in darkness

(I'm not ready for this way, to open up, to give - blade!)

let me go before I end, lonely.

I cannot be what I am

Fill me with new hope.

3. Storm Of Rage

walls collapse onto me, I ride the storm of rage

a mistake became a chain - reaction and the

reflection falls upon me

it's time for change, understanding and

faith are what friends are about, but on every corner

disappointment (is waiting, every wall would have

understood me better), I am cold.

I stand alone and all that remains is the hope

for help, the anger is strong and threatens to

destroy me, because what was will never be again,

too much has happened and the mind becomes dull,

it is the tragedy of time, a sea of tears for grief,

but from the shadows of my tears, of my past, you

come and give me your hand, tame my anger

my tears fade and together we fight as friend

together we fight as friend for (the) time.

4. Vicious Circle

every day I see your face

every day I die

every day I feel your breath

every day I'm born again

you give me joy, but my thanks are just pain

and out of fear I pull myself loose again

for you I die

you are everything I need, what I desire,

but will I ever understand?

come on!

I die for you

please forgive my faults,

maybe one day I will realize what you mean (to me),

I hope it won't be too late

every time I cry,

I feel your lies

every time I die,

I see your eyes.

5. Bad Dream

oh dark night, in silence broken ban,

shackles of fear, I lie there, flat and merely

the valley lies deep, staggering in the past, shadows

hide danger and feed me in the coldness,

I don't see myself,

don't look at me,

you would burn

as my house lies empty and

I float against the time,

come here, come in,

burn for my soul.

6. The Seventh Soul

I travelled across the edges of my soul, add it

doesn't seem any better when I cross the border

The world falls to piece but every Sunset is

the rebirth of a new experience.

I often felt this sorrow, I often stand alone,

dipping and diving to see the bottom but where are the

lines that divine...

Confidential sins have already taken my so called

freedom and every choice I made framed my so called future.

I'm no longer care about the way I gone, burning

like a fire to smother in the end, wasting time

while I'm expecting death.

7. Scream From The Abyss

come on, tell me who you really are

Stop with your lies, I've looked behind the mask and

now your time is over

day by day deceived, you blind my senses

you have never been a friend,

without scruples you've driven me to the point I am

standing at now

I jump "somersault backwards" and push you into the

depth that you've created yourself

now bear your own consequences,

feel the sorrow that you have imposed upon me,

feel the pain and scream from the abyss of your

malice,

nobody will help you,

who sows hate shall harvest pain.

8. Detect Your Liberty

look into the wide, wild liberty

look well, it's reality

close your eyes and turn loose,

all burden is impulse

drop the anger, the hate you cherish

turn loose, cry on me, let go, let all go

I hold your hand and lead you

we're melt together, becoming one

and we get the power to cry,

scoop for your life, cry, detect your liberty

fight for your freedom,

freedom is life, burn down your walls.

9. Fire Is My Witness

a new day, a new struggle, blank walls scream

narrowness

but I'm my own prison, go, run rush into the woods

the vast unknown spurs on my will to fight

the energy, the magic of silence and I am immortal

my eyes become heavy, the mind porous

fire in the convergence

an inner force calls out my name and

says, everything is gone, everything is done, the

voice sounds

familiar, but my body is captured in fear and the

light leaves my way, fear is hiding in the

shadows, but I am the force and I light my

fire, the demon shall burn, the fire is my witness

a final scream, a final tear and I am free.

10. Between The Worlds

deeply hidden in the deepest wood

black is the night

the owls are singing between the worlds

the circle closes, the cycle of fire opens it's doors

the guard between the shadows searches for fear-

(to broken souls he reaches out his hand and leads the

way into the night)

fire walk with me...

pain shouts you down

you've split and I spit on you

(call my name and I'll catch you

carry my ring and) I will kill you.

11. A Piece Of My Life

I feel breathe, live alone with my love,

I gave it to you, I should have known,

reality will never be a dream!

in my dreams I walk around,

in the darkness of my ashes,

always following your light,

I feel no fear, cause your fire gives me safety

my fire burns deep and ardent,

but I radiate just coldness and hopeless

helplessness, awkward,

naive like a child

everyday I fell reality, the reflection of the wide void

I don't want to live, just want dream!

(my fire burns deep and ardent)

come on and play with me.
