By the dawn of century past Through the mist of southern bone Grew an evil story of Voodoo Dolls Obsession met no love Rejection paid with scorn In return a present for his son Dare not to look into his eyes An evil course the doll he hides Began to disappear Now you can hear their cries Once a town of sun Now fog and blood They all blame the child He points back to the doll, Robert did it! Thus... the deed was done Dare not to look into his eyes An evil course the doll he hides Beware of his face You may just find yourself Don’t look at his eyes Beware of the shadow, an evil course it hides Dare not to look into his eyes An evil course the doll he hides

Let Me Be 04:26
I can feel the ice that burned in me Every promise broken when you closed the door Creeping panic rising...lurking from within Tied up in the darkness Breathe the air you left for me Kept me near, then pushed me far No time to live Grueling shadows in your eyes The nightmare just begun I shut my mind My heart goes blind Your lies get through the walls I built around me Let me be, lost your grip Falling On your knees Now you plea Crawling Back to me Poison lips, in my dreams Through the mist I see the morning I shut my mind My heart goes blind Your lies get through the walls I built around me Kept me near, then pushed me far No time to live Grueling shadows in your eyes The nightmare just begun Let me be, lost your grip Falling On your knees Now you plea Crawling Back to me Poison lips, in my dreams Through the mist I see the morning

Once again, visions that never end Sipping through the cracks...nonstop and straight to hell There you stand, grin upon your face Pull the strings, sing my theme; deceiving is your way So much praising So much hope to twist and bend Words can't break me... Fear or fall Your lonely world Drowning tears of agony Thoughts so empty Fear or fall Such lonely words I believed your melodies There’s nothing more now Road of thorns...walking for so long Fooled no more, the strings are gone, pain just turns to dust Stop the mending Quit the show, bleak is the end Words can't break me... Words can’t hide Fear or fall Your lonely world Drowning tears of agony Thoughts so empty Fear or fall Such lonely words I believed your melodies There’s nothing more than dust

Vain 05:48
You pour some reasons From behind a mask Lying is just the game to play Still entitled you feel to the truth Anger or pain, you won´t be aware Vain Heed my warning Vain Ran out of truce Vain Gallows Calling Vain Calling Why then, do you deserve the truth? If you won’t look straight in the eye These treasures never meant for you Spare me the talking The phrases measured All fit to your needs I can see the dark you keep Still entitled you feel to the truth My joy, my faith, you can´t be aware Vain Heed my warning Vain Ran out of truce Vain Gallows Calling Vain Calling Why then, do you deserve the truth? If you won’t look straight in the eye These treasures never meant for you Spare me the talking Spare me the talk cause you're vain We’re done with the talk you're so vain

We Are One 04:05
Keep your views On how we lost our track We ain’t waiting your “fame” To cross our path Recognition... Acclaim Is what you seek Not the kind of rye That's brewing for our feast We are running with time Facing the years without tension Caught in the fight Gone all the things we don’t want We still run to the night Done with the tears of our nation Building our patience Facing the fear we go on You complain About the road we chose to seek Let me tell you this much We’re rollin’ Still stronger Tall voices, raging thunder Here’s the kind of rye That’s brewing for our feast We are running with time Facing the years without tension Caught in the fight Gone all the things we don’t want We still run to the night Done with the tears of our nation Building our patience Facing the fear we go on Caught in the fight Done with the tears of our nation Done with the fears we won’t fall!

Mind Control 03:12
A whole life trying to find it Some way to get out of the show So tired to see them crawl Realize their lives are bitter So empty, shameless, no control Can’t take of this no more Just Puppets dangling Fighting, trying, To avoid a course that leads to Crying… Dying Right behind that mask of dreams unborn Mislead down to perfection March to the scripted sodomy Of fake reality The string still dangling Fighting, Trying, Break away the chapter, they´re still Crying… Dying Mind control their emptiness of soul Fighting, Trying, Break away the chapter, they´re still Crying… Dying Mind control their emptiness of soul
8.
Weaving the passion Old spirits arise Dabbing all over again Muses awaken The Fireworks ignite Feeling our souls burst in flames Overwhelming is the freedom of the mind Power of lighting we bear Take the ride with us Roam into the night We will fight along without shame We shall strike The world is ours to claim It`s our right It’s perfectly clear Skies torn asunder Torches held high No time for warning or fear Riot and thunder Stir through the fight Feeling the fire in our veins Overwhelming is the freedom of the mind Power of lighting we bear Take the ride with us Roam into the night We will fight along without shame We shall strike The world is ours to claim It`s our right It’s perfectly clear

Haze blurs the sight Rage fills the air Words lashing on Future regrets River of anger Rising within Ashes are falling Far away now Shadows reign in chaos and pain Grieving can’t last forever Turn your way, with kindness from the heart With kindness from your heart Towering walls Shadow the day Surmounting doubts Cast them away Shattered illusions Drown in the rain Ashes are falling Far away now Shadows reign in chaos and pain Grieving can’t last forever Turn your way, with kindness from the heart With kindness from your heart Show... the way to your heart Show… the way that will last forever Show… the way to your heart

Rollin' 03:51
Roaming the streets Out there Forever Born out of cinder, rust and rock; the story’s told. Of men that seam the sound together. Torching metal, thunder struck It warms my soul. Out in the land forever Let the passion roar They're Rollin' We're Stronger Still Burnin’ Our Blood! Untainted thrills They bring the cheers To carry on Living a dream, they deemed for rebels Eternal embers, blazing on They rock, we’ll roll Out in the land forever Let the passion roar They're Rollin' We're Stronger Still Burnin’ Our Blood! Unchained and fierce They bring the cheers To carry on They're Rollin' We're Stronger Still Burnin’ They're Rollin' We're Stronger Still Burnin’ Our Blood!
