my most hated friend I know you all too well
no need to ask how you feel we share the same spell
I found comfort catching my breath for no reason
burning the pages in your name
losing control over seasons
no more trust to gain
trust
scratch the surface
so sick of questioning my purpose
all gathered love is lost
walking on hollow ground
throw me to the wolves
so I can be found
in the dark where my mind can rest
in the dark where my mind can rest

what is your desire
open your eyes for the deaf tear the blinds aside
smother your guilt through the filter break the mirror watch me ignite
it was me who chose your mind I will leave you there alone condemned
should I stand up in court with my mouth sewn shut
wide awake to stare at the beginning of the end
I am the monster haunting your dreams at night
show me your greatest fear I have you in my sight
I return to life resurrected from the deep
I know that you´re afraid of all the consequences in your sleep
in the eyes of the holy sign
you will pay the price of misery
misery
feed the black hole of my sickening satisfaction
everything you have created will turn against you
they sold you gasoline to fuel the fire to cleanse their dirty debts
in the eyes of the holy sign
you will pay the price of misery
I return to life resurrected from the deep
I know that you´re afraid of all the consequences in your sleep
wake me up tonight this nightmare will never pass
I´´ll make you suffer I will make you confess
what is your desire

bow to me
I should have killed the traitor wasting no second thought
but letting him alive is punishment enough
spare his pathetic life nothing seems so sweet to me
like the sound of his beating heart
drowning, fading in the void
eternally
Come tear down all borders
Cast aside this emptiness
You better decide, you better divide this hell inside
decide
divide
this hell
inside
resurrected by the spoken word
you blinded me through the shadows
all promises fed by the blackest tongue
broken teeth are painful to swallow
endless abomination
I should have killed the traitor
wasting no second thought
bow to me or you will beg for forgiveness
cursed to be restless
cursed to be restless
resurrected by the spoken word
Come tear down all borders
Cast aside this emptiness
You better decide, you better divide this hell inside
as I fester on all my rage
I build this throne
this throne of slaves
what have I done
I´ve had it all figured out
you´ve cut too deep this time
everything is torn
Come tear down all borders
Cast aside this emptiness
You better decide, divide this hell inside
as I fester on all my rage
I build this throne
this throne of slaves

are you the restless receiver
the answer to the lost and the cursed
why do you favor the bloodshed
in destruction I immerse
no hope no savior
no folded hands will save you
no hope no savior
so here we are
you failed me once again
I take a step away from you leave me like you always do
I´m losing faith in this madness you create
these words you never speak
sever my mind from light and gloom
deceiver
no folded hands will save you
by the marching sound of the rusting gun
your name of glory drenched in blood of father and son
if I was perfectly shaped (lost)
in your vision
why do I feel so incomplete
it bothers me I can´t
forget the man that I was and every wrong decision I made
it sickens me but I will succeed
so here we are
you failed me once again
I take a step away from you leave me like you always do
I´m losing faith in this madness you create
these words you never speak
sever my mind from light and gloom
deceiver
no folded hands will save you
deceiver
no one will save you
no hope, no savior
no folded hands will save you
so here we are
you failed me once again
I take a step away from you leave me like you always do
I´m losing faith in this madness you create
these words you never speak
sever my mind from light and gloom
deceiver

broken bottles no solution left to chase
I feel the breath of your salvation on your face
these cuts and bruises feed the flame of your decay
the key is lost to lock this chaos in its frame
I´ve been waiting
holding your hands for hours
chasing my breath for the best to say
I´ve been caging the greatest promise on my tongue
oh how I wish tomorrow could end this day
the taste of treachery stained on my skin
I never meant to break your pure belief
I never meant to throw this away
from the heart to the bone
trust turned into stone
from the heart to the bone
trust turned into
stone
the only promise was not to leave you
scarred
shattered
from the heart to the bone
trust turned into stone
shattered
from the heart to the bone
trust turned into stone
I left you
shattered
I left you shattered
I´ve been waiting
holding your hands for hours
chasing my breath for the best to say
I´ve been caging the greatest promise on my tongue
oh how I wish tomorrow could end this day
from the heart to the bone
trust turned into stone

welcome to the tombs though the air tastes of arsenic
I am sheltered from the leprosy of jesters and harlots
but my ambitions are anchored
conflagrancy surrounds the only truth I have ever known
the search for something more has only left me defenseless
every breath I forsake evaporates in nothingness
I apostasise and scour the earth for a home
every breath I forsake evaporates in nothingness
wandering aimlessly no constellation to guide
I struggle through darkness only fearing the morning light
embrace the siren sound
the search for something more
has only left me defenseless
conflagrancy surrounds the only truth I have ever known
the search for something more has only left me defenseless
every breath I forsake evaporates in nothingness
I apostasise and scour the earth for a home
every breath I forsake evaporates in nothingness
(sample “the network”)
I reign this hell
