The Swarm
03:06
|

|
Contaminating like a parasite
You’ll be doomed if I start to fight
Here comes the swarm
Here comes the swarm
Soon you’ll be born to lose
A future you can’t choose
Annihilation, your race is really overdue
Can’t you see the damage that you’ve done
Caused by reckless behavior without hesitation
Only your vanity will force you to run
You’re begging for your final destination
You’re cutting the rope
Stuck with your own head
In a guillotine instead of saving me
You’re leaving me no choice
This is not my fault
All you do is killing me
Here comes the swarm
Yeah
Here comes the swarm
Big plans but empty promises
Wasting time with insignificance
Eargh
Insignificance
No god can wash away your sins
There’s no excuse for drilling holes in my skin
Oh
You’re taking my gold for your own wealth
Driven by insatiable greed, only caring ’bout yourself
You’re cutting the rope
Stuck with your own head
In a guillotine instead of saving me
You’re leaving me no choice
This is not my fault
All you do is killing me
Here comes the swarm
Here comes the swarm
Here comes the swarm
All you do is killing me
Yeah you’re fucking killing me
Here comes the swarm
Here comes the swarm
No god can wash away your sins
‘Cause now annihilation begins

Cancer

All my life I've been searching for an answer
But since my diagnosis a death wish spreads like cancer
My fate got marked by this insatiable malignancy
Been caught up by my past
can I defeat it again
No escape, no run away
An old acquaintance came to visit to take this life from me
From me
I am begging for a chance to survive
If there is a god
why do I have to pay this price
And I'll fight
And I'll fight (Fight)
for the rest of my life (My life)
I can feel it growing deep down in my chest
I'll scream with the rest of my lungs (My lungs)
I want to live a life worth dying for
Day in day out
I'm getting more paralysed
Hemoptysis cancer cough predicting demise
Nothing can cure this hell
Nothing can cure my disease
Metastasis force me to my knees
Why can't I die in piece
And live a life worth dying for
Why must I suffer decease
Suffer decease
Urgh
And I'll fight (Fight)
for the rest of my life (My life)
I can feel it growing deep down in my chest
I'll scream with the rest of my lungs (My lungs)
I want to live a life worth dying for
Worth dying for
A life worth dying for
Yeah
Worth dying for
Caught in a spiral of tragedy
Enduring radiation therapy
Consuming chemicals to survive
I'm slowly dying, but I'm still alive
But I'm still alive
With every pill I take
My will for being alive fades
What's killing me, my cancer or my sorrow
With every breath I take
I feel my live fade
Uncertain if I will wake up tomorrow
I'm still alive
With every breath I take
I feel my live fade away
Uncertain if I will wake up tomorrow

Vanitas
03:55
|

Vanitas will tell my story
Remember death, memento mori
Wandering disoriented through my abyss
I can’t save myself
I can’t blot out my pain
I can’t take this searching anymore
I’m lonesome without a purpose to hold on to
I drag myself across the floor
I feel numb but I’m in pain
Ignoring what’s left of me or what I became
Every day I tried to keep up
With the mess that I am
Beginning to feel my decay
It just began
When I’m gone
Don’t try to save me (Save me)
Cause after all
No one can wake me
Vanitas will tell my story (Story)
Remember death, memento mori
I breathe in
Can’t breathe out
Caught in this tragedy
Bearing the agony
My demons dragging me down
I can’t stand the pace
Somebody set me free
Somebody set me free
Somebody set me free
I can feel my life fading away
Unendurable pain is running through my veins
When I’m gone
Don’t try to save me (Save me)
Cause after all
No one can wake me
Vanitas will tell my story (Story)
Remember death, memento mori
Vanitas will tell my story (Memento mori)
Remember death, Memento mori
Memento mori
Levitating of the ground
Close to heaven yet, hell-bound
I’m fainting ‘cause I’m about to face my maker
‘cause I’m about to face my maker
‘cause I’m about to face my maker
When I’m gone
Don’t try to save me (Save me)
Cause after all
No one can wake me
Vanitas will tell my story (Story)
Remember death, memento mori
When I’m gone
Don’t try to save me (Save me)
Cause after all
No one can wake me
Gasping for my very last breath
All that remains is an empty hourglass

Ark
04:12
|

|
Sinking
To the ground
And I can't reach up to the surface
To the surface
I just want to drown
I've lost my purpose
I can't go on like this
Running in circles
But every time I look around
You're still here by my side
You are the remedy
The sky over my head
Is getting darker every day
So show me how to feel alive
You make it worth to live my life
And I can't mute these voices
But you can make them disappear
Because you are my ark
You are the light inside the dark
Self-destructive my path leads down
I need someone to get me out
Someone to get me out
To get me out
Depression comes in like crushing waves
It buries me alive
But I dug this grave
Please be my salvation
Free me from my isolation
Over my head
The sky over my head
Is getting darker every day
So show me how to feel alive
You make it worth to live my life
And I can't mute these voices (Voices)
But you can make them disappear
Because you are my ark
You are the light inside the dark
I can't go on
Living this way
Every time you aren't around
My demons start to tear me down
Every time you aren't around
My demons start to tear me down
The sky over my head
Is getting darker every day
So show me how to feel alive
You make it worth to live my life
And I can't mute these voices (These voices)
But you make them disappear (Disappear)
Because you are my ark
You are the light inside the dark
Yeah
Because you are my ark
You are the light inside the dark

Fantasy

Is this all in my Fantasy
These feelings
Dragging me under
These feelings Yeah
I don’t know when it started or where it came from
But it made me the wreck that I’ve become
Flooded by so many feelings till my heart goes numb
The enemy in my head is real
But I can’t run
It started with silence
And turned into violence
I’ve been stuck here in this vicious cycle
Controlling my mind set
No escape from my threat
The war I’m fighting takes place in my head
One voice tells me to stop
Another one says - it’s not enough
Which one should I obey
Letting go of hope before my heart decays
These feelings dragging me under
Fake scenarios devouring my mind
Making me blind for reality
‘cause this is all in my Fantasy
Overthinking every second
It controls my mental state of mind
It’s crippling all of my mentality
‘cause this is all in my Fantasy
Here we go again
If I’m alone those nightmares make me go crazy
My sometimes fading sanity is feeding my anxiety
Mood swings, panic attacks, lethargy
Hopefully someone will come and set me free
It started with silence
And turned into violence
I’ve been stuck here in this vicious cycle
Controlling my mind set
No escape from my threat
The war I’m fighting takes place in my head
These feelings dragging me under
Fake scenarios devouring my mind
Making me blind for reality
‘cause this is all in my Fantasy
Overthinking every second
It controls my mental state of mind
It’s crippling all of my mentality
‘cause this is all in my Fantasy
I can’t take this fucking noises much longer
I got the worst feelings
They keep getting stronger
I can’t take this bullshit anymore
I got the worst thoughts
And they keep getting stronger
It started with silence
And turned into violence
I’ve been stuck here in this vicious cycle
Controlling my mind set
No escape from my threat
The war I’m fighting takes place in my head

I’m addicted to the pain
Eargh
I was shackled with these chains
It took over my brain (it took over my brain)
It goes on and on and on
I’m addicted to the pain pain pain
I can’t get much sleep, these voices are too loud
Insomnia with no cure for me
Can’t compete against the crowd
I have a craving for this self destructive drug
I know it’s killing me
But I can’t get enough
Twitching eyes a result of constant stress
I thought I have overcome
But I’m suffering from relapse
Everytime this mess seems to end
Depression smiles and starts over again
I was shackled with these chains
it took over my brain
it goes on and on and on and on and on
I’m addicted to the pain
I’m addicted to the
I’m addicted
I’m addicted to the
I’m addicted
I’m addicted to the
Pain
Yeah
Oh
I was shackled with these chains
It took over my brain (it took over my brain)
It goes on and on and on
I’m addicted to the pain pain pain
I feel the poison rushing through my veins
Crippling my guts
My body can’t sustain
Suffering from chronical lethargy
I’m lacking energy
Slowly losing sanity
I was shackled with these chains
it took over my brain
it goes on and on and on and on and on
I’m addicted to the pain
Pain
Yeah
Addicted to the pain

Curtain Fall
03:22

Let your curtains fall
And don’t give up – you'll meet your fate
Take your curtain call
Don’t be afraid to show your face
Don’t be afraid to show your face
Get up and ignore their despise
They don’t give a fuck – only telling lies
Stop turning away and force back your tears
Grow strong and confront your fears
Now turn around, with the knife in your back
Pull it out and follow your new track
Disobey the rules they made
Reclaim the price you’ve already payed
Put your mask down
Show them who you are
Rise up and and reach for the stars
(for the stars)
Let your curtains fall
And don’t give up – you'll meet your fate
Take your curtain call
Don’t be afraid to show your face
You don’t have to crawl
Cause you will rise above them all
Don’t give it up
Don’t give it up
Everything is not enough
They won’t stop talking behind your back
If you won’t stop hiding from the wolf pack
Face your fears
And wipe away your fucking tears
Don't give it up
Don’t give it up
Everything is not enough
Put your mask down
Show them who you are
Rise up and and reach for the stars (reach for the stars)
Let your curtains fall
And don’t give up – you'll meet your fate
Take your curtain call
Don’t be afraid to show your face
You don’t have to crawl
Cause you will rise above them all
Don’t give it up
Don’t give it up
Everything is not enough
Take a look inside of yourself
You will see, that you’ve become someone else
You’ll understand the power of your name
If you are ready for your life to change
You’ll understand the power of your name
If you are ready for your life to
Change

Break The Cycle
03:44

Go!
I remember the time, when I came home from class
Betrayed by trust, boys have beaten up my ass
Pushed into a game, that I did not choose
Being bullied by the cool, for their own amuse
I tried so hard to escape this hell
To escape the pain that I knew so well
Those tears will make me stronger
A thought that stayed not much longer
And I asked myself
Is there anybody out there?
Someone who wipes away my tears
To alleviate my pain
Can you give me the strength to fight in these darkened days
This is my lullaby
To leave this mess behind (leave this mess behind)
Can you give me the strength to fight in these darkened days
I was searching for a way out
No escape from the daily hell I went through
I fought my way alone through school
Afraid of the spite I had to face
I wished a simple twist of my fate
I was thinking about letting this whole fucking mess end
About grabbing the knife and saying goodbye to my only lonely friend myself
But I didn’t want to cause some tears and disappear so I can escape my fear
I stayed strong but I chose the path of violence
Fucking violence
Their laughing voices
fucking noises
Left me no other choices
This was my only way out
Is there anybody out there?
Someone who wipes away my tears
To alleviate my pain
Can you give me the strength to fight in these darkened days
This is my lullaby
To leave this mess behind (leave this mess behind)
Can you give me the strength to fight in these darkened days
I tried so hard - I failed harder
But there was one thing I held on to
I need to break the cycle
Fuck
The pain echoes on
Even today
Sometimes I just want to escape my brain
‘cause I’m lost
I hope those scars won’t last forever

I can’t tell how sorry I am
If I could turn back time
I’d feel alive again
I didn’t mean to break your heart
But how the fuck could it happen,
That we got so far
Do you believe in my apologies
If I tell you that this wasn’t me
I didn’t mean to hurt you
After everything that we‘ve been going through
And when I cry
When all these memories passing by
Of all the times we we had
We learned to fly
*cause alle the things I said
I can’t them back
And your face of fear’s haunting in my grieving head
And all the colours of your face fading away
I told you to stop,
but you kept fucking it up
but you kept fucking it up
I’ve lost my temper
'cause you were screaming
You hit me hard
My heart was bleeding
I grabbed your neck
And strangled you to death
What have I done?
And when I cry
When all these memories passing by
Of all the times we we had
We learned to fly
*cause alle the things I said
I can’t them back
And your face of fear’s haunting in my grieving head
And all the colours of your face fading away
Locked in a prison cell
Begging for luck in hell
Hearing the convicts cries
Echoing from everywhere
Strapped in the electric chair
Death is coming
I’m aware
Now I feel so numb,
Greetings to the end
My time has come
I’ll see you again
And when I cry
When all these memories passing by
Of all the times we we had
We learned to fly
*cause alle the things I said
I can’t them back
And your face of fear’s haunting in my grieving head
And all the colours of your face fading away

Upon yourself
It starts with a single little storm
But you're too ignorant to see
That this will break the norm
When the grounds starts to shake and
The monsters awake
Now you'll pay for your mistakes
Wildfires are starting to spread
Can't you feel the noose tightening around your neck
Your life is hanging by a thread
'Cause the rope is about to snap
About to snap
And with the rising tides
The world of forces will collide
This is your burden
That you've placed upon yourself
This will clean the surface
You've missed your purpose
So your future ends today
No god can save you
(No god, no god)
So tonight
Obliterate the parasite
Obliterate the parasite
Tidal waves crash into the shores
You cannot outrun your fate anymore
It's raining glass as the buildings collapse
The earth is bleeding
The surface starts to crack
Run
'Cause the wipeout has begun
Hide
'Cause the ending is in sight
Now you'll pay for your legacy
Annihilation seems so endlessly
Your life is hanging by a thread
The ropes about to snap
And with the rising tides
The world of forces will collide
This is your burden
That you've placed upon yourself
This will clean the surface
you've missed your purpose
So your future ends today
No god can save you
(No god, no god)
So tonight
Obliterate the parasite
Run
Now the world turns upside down
Gravity no longer bounds to the ground
There's no more air, that's left to breathe
All caused by the human legacy

This is my chance to explore the world
Finding respect my voice will be heard
Brothers in arms marching side by side
They told me
You’re standing for what is right
But I should have known
The price I would pay
We’re all but just puppets in this game
Lost all my friends
Everybody's been slain
Waiting for my judgement day
Game of war stuck its fangs so deep in my skin
Contaminating my mind from within
Blindly following like a tinsoldier
No god will grant me absolution for my sins
Ashes raining on the ground
Gunshots and cries set the sound
Souls are lost and never found
Mass graves covered up with shrouds
Bodies stacking on the ground
Stench of dead burned flesh
Wretched fates
Fear-ridden eyes
Lying in the trench
Burned kids dying hand in hand
Mourning failed existence
Our humanity abolished
Mission accomplished
Please god no!
Swallowing pills to subdue my nightmares
But nothing truly can erase my flashbacks
Oh
Game of war stuck its fangs so deep in my skin
Contaminating my mind from within
Blindly following like a tinsoldier
No god will grant me absolution for my sins
Buried my family down in their graves
Remember them only dying as slaves
Not even seeing an innocent child
Dead men’s screams plague me at night
I lost the game
It’s killing me
Game over
I lost the game
It’s killing me
Game over
Those feelings from within
They drown me in my sins
In my sins
Game of war stuck its fangs so deep in my skin
Contaminating my mind from within
Blindly following like a tinsoldier
No god will grant me absolution for my sins
Game Over
Game Over
Game Over
Game Over

After all I’ve been through
time will tell
I'll find my way
I know it wasn’t easy
But all this was worth the pain
They told me to let fate decide
But I thought life passed me by
I was drowning in my sickness and sorrow
Anticipating no tommorrow
Struggling with mental health and overthinking
Didn't even tried to save my ark from sinking
There is no choice between right and wrong
Follow the path to where your heart belongs
Follow the path to where your heart belongs
Where your heart belongs
And stay strong
After all I’ve been through
time will tell
I'll find my way
I know it wasn’t easy
But all this was worth the pain
Strike a match and watch it burn
I know my life will make a turn
Dancing flames will light the dark
And all it took was just a spark
I got caught in a tragedy
But I broke the cycle
Overcame my fantasy
I was reaching for the crown
But my demons tried to drag me down
Everybody needs a safe ark
A spark of hope which lights up the dark
There is no choice between right and wrong
Follow the path to where your heart belongs
Follow the path to where your heart belongs
Where your heart belongs
And stay strong
After all I’ve been through
time will tell
I'll find my way
I know it wasn’t easy
But all this was worth the pain
Strike a match and watch it burn
I know my life will make a turn
Dancing flames will light the dark
And all it took was just a spark
And all it took was just a spark
Tongues of fire beneath my skin
Burning the pain from deep within
Maybe I’ll find peace some day
ascending ashes guide my way
After all I’ve been through
time will tell
I'll find my way
I know it wasn’t easy
But all this was worth the
fucking pain
After all I’ve been through
time will tell
I'll find my way
I know it wasn’t easy
But all this was worth the pain
Strike a match and watch it burn
I know my life will make a turn
Dancing flames will light the dark
And all it took was just a spark
