- Affliction
This is no ordinary demon
I've been down this road before
Driven by the wounds I couldn't hide
I know exactly where it goes
So I guess there's no tomorrow
And I can't remember yesterday
Locked in a time lapse
And it's soul crushing to say
- Aftermath
The walls are moving closer now
Can you feel it, can you feel it?
You are not saved until you see the dawn
Set my Eden on fire now
You did it, you did it
Smoked out my soul once and for all
I'm coming home tonight
- All about Us
They say don't trust
you
me
we
us
So we'll fall if we must
Cause it's you and me
And it's all about
- Another Soldier Down
Baby, it won't be long before we mend the tide
The greatest gift I ever knew was jealous of your lies
Good job I'm bulletproof
That knife in the back, do you still think you're steadfast?
Did you think I'd forget about the monastery created out of spines?
That you stole from men greater than your shame
Well, that's all on you
- Beauty And The Freak
I'm letting go
One thing is for certain
I'm treading paths I've walked before
I've reconsidered and I'm contemplating letting go
I watched resentment steal into your face like thief(a thief)
And the more you pull the more I push you away from me
- Black And Blue
Why did you want me to be there?
Yesterday you changed my destiny.
Controlled by the moon.
If I would have known, I would have been there
For you, my baby, for you.
[Chorus:]
Black and blue, I bled for you.
- Black Hole Halo
Together with desolation
To fall deep in love with a bullet
In battle with your condition
A burden so condemned you revere it
So what is wrong with ordinary?
It's all you really need
But this obsession with oblivion
- Blue eyed fiend
Please kill me in my sleep so I get stuck in my dreams
I'll keep exhaling the rime of my chaotic harmony
But the wrecked parts of that ship keep floating in
So I see, this time was never made for me... Never wanted you to know what was inside of me
And all the things I ever wanted was things I had before
MAKING MY WAY TO HEAVEN THROUGH A THOUSAND MILES OF HELL
AND YOUR ABSENCE BOUGHT ME TIME TO BREAK FROM MY MIND
- Break Of Day
The earth is large
Large enough that you think you can hide from anything
From fate, from God, from pain
As long as you get far enough away
So you run, run, run to the edge of the earth
Where all is safe again
And just for a moment
You think you managed to escape
- Burn This City
Are we alive?
Because I heard a rumor
That the day we died was yesterday
So are we rotting now?
Can't find our graves?
Well they created a lie
Built out of structure and routine by robots
- Callous
Cathode rays blast like meteor rain to my brain
Still I'm using all the tools to escape my reality
Forced myself to not sleep, forced myself to not see
That something has survived and you feel it too...
Loneliness is a good place to visit, but not to stay in
It was the only way to finally break out off the chains
IF I WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO FALL
- Catching Fire
The sins have all been released
Am I a sinner now?
I turn the light on but it's still dark
So just give me a sign to keep good in my life
I turn the light on but I can't see shit
Don't try to find me here
Just go, I crossed a fine line
- Contradiction
I used to be someone
But I grew to be something that I'm not
It feels like I'm cornered
By everything that you really want
Why are we here in this same old room
WE STAND HERE, WITH DAMAGED HOPE
BUT STILL WE CARRY ON
- Crowned in Despair
She was the night, night of retribution
A persona not right, blood of pollution
He was the day, day of solution
Shaped like clay, he was led astray
I WOULD DIE FOR YOU, IF YOU CARE FOR ME
TOMORROW THERE'S ANOTHER CRIMSON DAWN
I'LL WATCH IT ALONE, UPON THE LOST THRONE
- Crowned In Dispair
Crowned In Despair
[Lyrics: Richard Sjunnesson, Music: Roger Sjunnesson]
She was the night, night of retribution
A persona not right, blood of pollution
He was the day, day of solution
Shaped like clay, he was led astray
- Damage Control
Weaving another web of lies around me
Leaving an endless trail of pain behind me
I don't deserve the love you give to me
How to mend the damage done to you?
I would trade a kingdom for a real life mulligan
To vindicate what I have done
- Day Of The Dead
Survival is so overrated
All you get is a pain in the neck
I think I'd rather succumb to a bite or a scratch
Lay back, let the red do the rest
Just gimme your heart and I'll trade you my soul
Just gimme those eyes and I'll show you the world
- Dead Planet
A million laps around the sun
And mankind ruined it all in a matter of centuries
Good job, 1-0 to Humanity
What's up with the vanity?
What do we actually have to prove to remove our insanity?
How many miles of ice have to melt before we show some sanity?
Hear me out...
- Denied
There is nothing left for me
There is nothing left for you
There is nothing left at all
A wasteland of my mind
Don't think you ever will see
Don't think you ever will know
How much I actually cared
About everything we shared
- Double Agent 616
I took the fall and on came all the changes
Work your way through the cold shell of my heart
Just to find another layer of stone waiting
I know I'm not a good man, I never was and I never will...
Don't think you'll make it through the night
My words, my words
My words are poison in your ears
- Encaged
Every night she stays at home waiting for him
All she ever wanted was a fragment of his love
Every night he goes on stage chasing the dream
Still he spends every surreal second thinking of her
I know we used to have it all figured out
Can't blame you for feeling deserted and alone
And I know I promised you a lot of things
- Enclave
We are uninvited guests
In this melancholy world
And soon you learn
That the only thing worth to treasure,
Are the people that actually care
Then why are there still tears in your eyes?
So I'm trying to teach you something
- Enhance My Nightmare
Walking the Elysian fields
From the tree the snake watches you
Can you feel your dying heart
It can no longer stand the temptation
Wipe out the flashbacks
From the depths of my caved in heart
Trample my utopia
- Fallout
This is the verity for a lot of you
And how you always stand
From the outside looking in
Now did you ever feel you are so open minded
That you don't really belong anywhere
Well I've been there too
Why are these vultures circling over me
- Flashback
Sands of time stream through my fingers
Chasing lost days of a dead dream
And I don't care if we lose it all tonight
Cause I'm not sure anymore if it ever happened
It feels so unreal
Don't close your eyes what if all disappears
- Freeman
Finally we are, we are even in the betrayal department
In fact I think you win, I think you win
About time you aired out your dirty laundry
I guess the question was more powerful than the answear
Take all you want from me
Strip me to my very soul
But bare in mind that I will always keep fighting you
- Heart Of Eve
I'm sick, sick of being an extra in my own life
A king, a ruler behind an exterior façade
For the longest time my endgame was certain and I
Thought I knew all the answers but now they are lost to me
You own all the skeleton keys to my mind
So why don’t you
- History Repeats Itself
Solitude brought us together, guidanced by the hand of fate
Too blind to see what this alignment would utterly create
Frantic searching for the star I couldn't find
Tainted hearts pound even harder to remind
Our heartbeats synchronized and our souls were entwined
Now our crest turns pale, by our tears so well refined
- It Takes Me
Devil gave a taste of fame, I drank that bottle dry
A vicious indignation cut me down in my prime
I'm dying for salvation
Bring me back to life
Walking through the underworld
Bring me back to life
Burst into flames like a vampire in the sun
- Jack of Diamonds
A fugitive from unreality,
No sign of my goddamned serenity.
Lost in these barren lands,
That have nothing I demand.
Had to look for something new
And that day I found you.
Living in a house of cards,
- Lament of Innocence
You cut my wings and throw me out
Out to the land, my soul was harvested from
I have never done anything to you
You never made my dreams come true
But this deceit will cost you all
I have never, never believed in you...
- Miles Apart
An honest crescendo
And by your words that rise like stars.
That moment, I knew
That I would bind myself to you.
For calling, the demons,
They can't wait to deny the truth.
But they'll have to wait.
I'm anxious 'cause right now I am loving you.
- Misanthropic Coil
Blasphemy in your eyes, spare me your pathetic lies
Sympathy I despise, just give me your chaos cries
One night he came to me and spoke the words of heresy
One day I will prevail, in other words your last day
You and I are living a lie
Sick of always denying
The omen will come true
- My Escape
I see the world
Through eyes of desperation
I never knew what I'd found
All I've had is years and years of darkness
So I cannot seem to hit the ground
I let my guard down
And you caught me by surprise
- My Own Life
My father said to load that gun
And keep the devil from the door
Don't be tempted be the words he says
I found a way to break the cycle
Initiated something vital
But to the ocean, it was only rain
So rain on me
Rain on me
- My Revenge
(This decision will be your final breath)
I tried to find a distraction to take my mind off how much I wanna find you
Reel you in with a face that you know, while I write this deception
I'd love to say it's only gonna equal that which you did to me
But the truth is my grudge has manifested
Turned into something I don't even recognize
- Only Inhuman
My presence of mind
Gave away the route to find
Incessant self-discipline... And I took it to my heart
In return it besieged all my emotions
In return it raped my consciousness
Can no longer tell if this is my voice
Or the thing deep inside of me
- Perfect Alibi
Are you listening?
Are you really there?
I'm open to suggestions
Do you even care?
Because within I die the more and more we lie
Hope seems to grow outside our reality of life
There's a fragile part of me that needs some help to heal
Hold a candlelight for me and don't let it go out
- Plans are for People
It's not enough
(It's not enough)
To be yourself,
(To be yourself)
You have to be your best self.
From the point of view
There is no kingdom,
There's no kingdom in the clouds.
- Power Shift
I really doubt this is the right side of the force
You better grab onto some hope
Cause you are going to need it as we go
Keep on fighting ignorance with even more ignorance
You'll see that sometimes the hand of fate must be forced
And we are under the gun
A bullet with our name on
- Prelude to Extinction
The artfiact within my grasp
Liberator of your mind
Left behind from the past
A relic of doom
Terror of the soul, sleeper awake
Rebreed into power, a mind crime beyond belief
- Psychic Suicide
I recognized your scars, because I have them too
It cured my contamination to speak of each other's misery
Can't deny that you were a substitute of a greater loss
But after all you reminded me of... You're someone to the world
And you're the world for someone
You really think you have a future without me?
There's a place not far away
Where I want to take you
- Rebellion In Nightmareland
You think you can shield your heart from me?
The dots connected and now I see
How I regret we shared fruit from the forbidden tree
I was entertained to a degree
But now you have your hooks too deep in me
In this post love world there's only one set of rules
[Chorus:]
- Red Eyed Friend
Million years of evolution
Still not close to perfection
God how much time do you need?
Cause I'm getting impatient
Release the source
And I'll find a way to alter my DNA
I'm on to you big guy
And I'm getting impatient
- Ruin
Walking down the self-destructive path
To extract some shards
Of inspiration, the frustration
You are only as strong as your weakest link
That concerns me
The infatuation is an affliction
Be careful with what you don't understand
- So Addicted
I'm a stalker on the wire
A pawn to your queen
I was bred for taking fire
But you're abusing me
All tied up, contortionist effigy
Nothing more than a pill to swallow
Beautiful eyes, soul and mind but you keep them locked in a box
- Soulstone Splinter
Searching in the ruins of me, looking for answers
Even though I'm all alone like an terminal cancer
I raise my fist into the sky
And realize it was all a lie
You never told me, always lying
The truth was that you were dying...
Father is she with you?
- Unbreakable
The leader. Who tries to hide the fear when war is in sight
A prophet. Those angel eyes
A warrior who fights for what is rightfully ours
I don't want to die
THEY WON'T TAKE US ALIVE, WE'RE FIGHTING TO SURVIVE
BUT WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME
SO WAKE UP, SHOW ME YOUR EYES
- Unknown entity
What does it take to stand a lie?
Once lost, now be embraced
Despair – Love is for no one
Despair – Time is on my side now
And when you dream of a new light
You came across the original me
You could tell me who he really was
But now it's all lost to you
- We Rule The Night
My home is no longer a place where refuge can be found
"You dug far too deep..."
What I stumbled upon
"Was not for your eyes to see"
I'm always on the run 'cause something's after me
Cold shivers working its way down my very spine
I'm far away from home
I'm far from all I know
- Where The Black Lotus Grows
I feel the eye staring through my restless dreams
In the end a shade of dark blue always gleams
I don’t know if it’s just me
But i feel you watch me every night
Black leaves with shades of blue
The flower we found long ago
At your grave it withered away
- Zion Must Fall
A forsaken threat
God failed to foresee
Crossing forbidden boundaries
They'll siege the key
Brooding in the rift
Where hellfire licks
Thirst for ancient vengeance
The end of their grievance
