Our charge is abandoned, wasted The ashes are raining from the sky There is no forgiveness for what we've done The task that was laid upon us We relinquished without a second thought and now we must face what we have wrought Destruction and ruin, it caused us to fall We destroyed what we had to live for Redemption and peace are lost to us now We shattered the dream and broke our word Wasting time, trusting others to do what was right Running blind into chaos and we end up falling! Taking pride in our own greed Wanting more, letting everything crumble to dust, now the world is dying! What if we had heard the warnings that were given in the beginning? What if we had stopped, remembered everything that we had promised? Did we wake too late to heed the call that brought us to our senses? Could we have been saved, reversed the damage that we have inflicted? Our world lies in ruins, shattered And we are the only ones to blame It is our pain, our grief, our shame Destruction and ruin, it caused us to fall We destroyed what we had to live for Redemption and peace are lost to us now We shattered the dream and broke our words

Stay With Me 07:21
Stay with me! Come, hold my hand, I beg you! The end is near Slowly, my light is fading Sing for me, the sound with soothe and calm me Fear and pain, will soon fade forever When all your light is gone, I will try to carry on. For you I will be strong, For you I will hold on. I'm drifting away I'm slipping away from you This is goodbye To all that we have been through All words have been said The memory is safe with you This is farewell There's nothing you can do Do you linger still? Your hand on mine, you'll have to let me go! The cold darkness closing in, My time has come to leave this world behind. The end is ANGUISH! The light is almost gone The end is near, my sight is turning dark and my body's going numb. I'm slipping fast, don't let me go until my last breath! Hold me close! Your heartbeat will keep me with you. I am here, Safe and warm within you. Love and loss, The life that we spent together. I am here, Locked in your heart forever. Don’t leave me here, Alone and empty! Please don’t go, I can’t live without you! I'm drifting away I'm slipping away from you This is goodbye To all that we have been through All words have been said The memory is safe with you This is farewell There's nothing you can do I'm drifting away I'm slipping away from you This is goodbye To all that we have been through All words have been said The memory is safe with you This is farewell There's nothing you can do

I am sleep, eternal bliss Once caught you will never leave Come to me, come close your eyes Let my voice carry you far away, deeper Never to leave, always asleep Lost in time and dreams forevermore Gone, bound to me, you will waste away In my grasp you will stay 'til the end My song drowning your senses Sending you to your last rest Come to me, come close your eyes Let my voice carry you far away, deeper Never to leave, always asleep Lost in time and dreams forevermore Gone, bound to me, you will waste away In my grasp you will stay 'til the end

I have told a thosand lies. My demons are controlling my mind. Fueled by the dark that lives inside. I hate what I have become. There are no monsters under my bed. They all live inside my head. feeding on my pain. Growing stronger every day. Emptiness, Panic is growing. I am weak, turned into nothing Turn around, Embrace the darkness Close my eyes, wait for the silence Its getting close to the end Time to let go of your life Do as I say and I'll show you the way out of this hell You took my life away from me. My scars are too deep to be healed. What have I done to deserve your hate? Nothing matters, it’s all too late The point of no return has been crossed. My mask of sanity has been lost. I’m slowly starting to fade away. Growing fainter and fainter every day Come follow me and I will make all your pain go away. Lose your senses and let me lead you away from here Give yourself to me and I will make your death painless As your light´s fading I will make you the fallen Emptiness, Panic is growing. I am weak, turning into nothing Turn around, Embrace the darkness Close my eyes, wait for the silence Its getting close to the end Time to let go of your life Do as I say and I'll show you the way out of this hell There are no monsters under my bed. They all live inside my head. feeding on my pain. Growing stronger every day. Come follow me and I will make all your pain go away. Lose your senses and let me lead you away from here Give yourself to me and I will make your death painless As your light´s fading I will make you the fallen

Left Behind 05:21
My world is gone, Devastated and empty of people... ...so quiet. Not a word, Not a single sound has been uttered. I was left behind, all alone. How will I face this? Will I find my path again? Screaming, I try to break the silence, No one's there to hear me. Hunting for a sign of life and I am Running, Searching for an answer, Looking for a haven. Will I find a way out? Will I find a home? My world is silent and so cold, Devoid of life and joy. I thought I heard voices, far away. Were they real or just a lie? Is my life a lie? Can I break the silence? Where are all the people? Will I find my way home? I will live my life! I will break the silence! I will find the people! I will find my way home! I will not surrender! I will find my way home!

The ray of hope I carry with me will be my guiding light, to ward away the crowding shadows that haunt my every waking hour, and every dream. To spread my wings and leave behind the worries and the pain. But when the words you said surround me, I know that I will never be free of your chains. The light that I thought I saw was just a lie! You made me believe that the love was real, I was a fool, and now I am trapped! I am a prisoner here, caught by your words. You tore me down and you laughed at me, revelled in my pain, my tears and my shame. The words you said to control me and to tear my heart to shreds again, leaving me to bleed at your feet. I just want to spread my wings and fly far away from here. I was in love and I could not see the monster inside you. Lying hollow and alone, a broken soul within me. I have to set things right again and find the strength to leave you. The ray of hope I carried with me would be my guiding light. I found the courage and the heart to take my life into my own hands... ...I am free!

All hope is gone now Your world has fallen The end is coming And everything´s beyond your control No one will save you There is no future This night is endless All that you had is lost forever The land is burning Darkness surrounds you It will destroy you And nothing will rise from the ashes There´s no salvation On your horizon Dreaming is futile Your life no longer has a purpose All that I’ve done. has been in vain My will to fight is long gone Hiding my soul. In a heart made of stone. Where they can’t find it. The damage is done. Im on the run. Away from all that I loved Hidden away So far from this world Im affraid of the silence Dont let them break you down The walls are closing in But there´s still hope for you If we’re still standing. United we will stand Divided we will fall And they will only win If we surrender Why can’t you see? it is over. I won’t be free. I give up Dont tell me it’s over That our battle has come to an end We will find our way out of here Why can’t you see it? You are living deep inside a lie Time to open up your eyes How did we get here? Is it all our fault? it isn’t over until darkness falls Your resistance has been crushed Your reign is over mine has just begun Please just let her go. Is she really gone? Are we the ones to blame? What have we become? Just embrace me as your savior. And I will lead you to the right path I am alone here now. Drifting in and out of reality. Im so far away Im under his control. Sorrow takes it’s toll On my heart and soul I’ve fallen Into darkness that erases all my memories When its done it wont leave a trace of me It has all changed- It’s clear to me now Its pointless to stand against him he has tightended his grip On my fragile mind There is no denying I have given up I sold him my soul It only hurts because it must Im losing my mind this i goodbye I’ll never be myself again Dont let them break you down The walls are closing in But there´s still hope for you If we’re still standing. United we will stand Divided we will fall And they will only win If we surrender Why can’t you see? it is over. I won’t be free. I give up
