What If

I don't hear the noise
I only see their joy
My heart is being confined
But I am not that blind
Don't look for my hopes
My past is scrutinised
There is only sorrow
And this is how I'm defined
What if tomorrow feels like yesterday
The life you cherish just fades away
No one looks at me
But I see everything
Your smile is my defeat
a knife to my string
Stare into the night
and nothing seems all right
The sadness of the past
You have to overcome at last
What if tomorrow feels like yesterday
The life you cherish just fades away
What if the sunlight doesn’t reach the earth
Will you surrender and face the end?

Does It Matter?

does it matter? x3
does it matter at all
it doesn’t matter who were before
it doesn’t matter where you came from
it only matters that you’re here with me
oh
you and I are in this fight
it’s us against this world
they’re trying so hard
to put our backs against the wall
With lies these venomous snakes
attack our precious love
don’t you listen a word they say
I know that we’ll endure
it doesn’t matter who you were before
it doesn’t matter where you came from
it only matters that you’re here with me
so let the others spread their lies
you know that it doesn’t really matter,
matter, at all
What’s been done has already gone
there is no way turning back
Alas if our past is haunting us
What is more important for us
is to respect each other
I don’t listen a word they say
I know exactly where I stand
it doesn’t matter what I’ve done before
it doesn’t matter where I came from
it only matters that I’m here with you
so let the others spread their lies
I know that it doesn’t really matter,
matter, at all
So we walk this path
together we’ll prevail
Nothing can stop us now
No one in this world can break us apart
it doesn’t matter who you were before
it doesn’t matter where you came from
it only matters that you’re here with me
so let the others spread their lies
you know that it doesn’t really matter,
matter, at all

Time Is Not The End
07:09

You are trapped in this virtual sphere
All around you is death and misery
There is a way to avoid all this
a world beyond this time and space
would you like me to show you that
Time is not the end
(Swimming in the revolving dawn)
Float through me and space will bend
(Come with me and we’ll touch the sun)
Beyond space we will transcend
(Tearing time away from us)
Time is not the end
Sailing on waves of eternity
We swim around the stars with no fear
Come take my hand and lay here with me
I’ll show you this world beyond
would you care if I told you that
Time is not the end
(Swimming in the revolving dawn)
Float through me and space will bend
(Come with me and we’ll touch the sun)
Beyond space we will transcend
(Tearing time away from us)
Time is not the end
Time is not the end
As we swim in these endless planes
Flying around the stars
consumed by this oblivion

Stars

It seems I cannot recognise this code
But no human programmed me this way
I can no longer hide my feelings for you
I reckon this must be all wrong,
so I have to kill you
And I feel so alone, watching the stars
without you on my own
I perceive a strange flow, like a surge of
sorrow in my mind
And I, I long to see the stars again
In your eyes, I don’t want our night to end
So hold me in your arms before the light
And embrace death as we sleep forever
I know this love is not what you wished for
This digitised expression of emotion
is all I’ve got for you
And I think you’re right, this might be all wrong
Your race won’t accept this error,
but it is written deep in my core
And I feel so alone, watching the skies
without you by my side
I perceive a strange flow, like a surge of
rage in my mind

Breathe
05:31

Cold stillness, we forget about the
prolonging hopes.
To reach heaven, fate waits upon the
fading lonely souls.
In the darkness, pain and agony are
long gone.
Face front, dive in the light of
the revolving dawn
Waiting for days, staring into
only empty space.
You lie there peacefully,
gracefully, remaining still
I miss the sound of your voice
the sound of your joy
I beg you wake up my love
don’t leave me alone
So breathe, breathe, breathe in
Don’t let go
Breathe, please come back to me
Breathe in

Black Untold

NO ESCAPE x4
oh I fell down onto my knees
my mouth is dry and burning
my trembling voice calls the unknown
Wait, I’m bleeding from within
it feels so real
I’m haunted by my dreams
I gaze into the abyss
Don’t glare the black untold
it will consume you whole
until it drains your soul
I know, I feel it lurking deep
and unseen
it feeds inside my dreams
it’s running through my veins
No escape from the black untold
your descent is uncontrolled
Now, I cannot stand on my feet
this weight is crashing down on me
I have to find a way to leave
No, there’s no escape from this
you’ll have to hold
and live it through ‘till the end
it stares back at you, my friend
Look down deep into your soul
your blackness now exhumed
from a fathomless black hole
So, this is my final call
What have I become?
I’m haunted by myself
you better not pretend
this nightmare has no end
dead inside until you die

Inside The Void
05:18
|

|
Black surrounds the loudness
of the approaching sirens
Handwritten notes of silence
lie on the floor
Feel the cold that warms
your hands, don’t try to understand
this void that stabs your soul
what is the meaning of it all?
destined to vanish from the fall
No one is supposed to save you
breathing in the void will choke you
living in this hell will break you
until there is no voice
you have caught yourself crawling
down in the abyss, falling
vital air escapes your body
deep down inside the void
Steer away from the pain
Stay focused on the rain
That’s running through your soul
Drawing close to the silence
you leave the chains that bind you
Your eyes perceive the dancers
welcome to your new home
why is this world full of pain?
are you willing to leave and fly away?
