Lowborn
06:15
|
|||
|
Not far away lies a storm to the north
Whispers of winter as death marches forth
Honor means nothing when war is unfair
We've come here to battle and return to nowhere
Kings die like peasants, with no one to mourn
There's blood in these hills from the battles forlorn
Wolves in the shadows drag pieces away
I've nothing to lose, with no debts left to pay
Faces, erased like a dream
The gods have not listened
Though prayers turned to cold-blooded screams
Places, where we have no name
A man of no house is a man without masters to shame
Strangers, we're bound by despair
A clamor for glory, a throne deprived of rightful heir
Dangers, from ever cold sky
A land of no mercy, a place for the lowborn to die
Vengeance igniting the fire in my blood
Paths of destruction, by sword and by flood
Fed to the vultures were friends and good men
Pursuit of dominion, the game never ends
Queens kill for power, and lords fight for gold
A wraith dressed in armor still lies in the cold
Followed by brethren with loyalty mine
Hunted by thieves of a purer bloodline
I have seen heaven, or some kind of hell
The source of my burden, the space that I dwell
There's no one to save us, the heroes are dead
The songs of our children are silent instead
Of ice and of fire, the stories we write
We rise from the ashes, attack in the night
The kingdom forsaken, by fate may it be
A cage with no room for the lowborn like me
Not far away lies a storm to the north
Whispers of winter as death marches forth
Honor means nothing when war is unfair
We've come here to battle and return to nowhere

A Song That Never Ends
05:44
|
|||
|
Never heard your ghost
Passing though
Gotta be a gift
Sent from heaven
Wrapped in you
Passions of the flesh
And of mind
Push to make you kill,
Serve, and conquer, or
Leave behind
I'd take bullet for you
In a minute, falling in it, I'm driven
Sounds like the feeling we knew
Sounding like a better harmony to live in
Under pressure, bound by pleasure
Weighted just to make us bend
A voice above, it's the sound of love we hear
A song that never ends
Lying through your teeth
And I don't care
Give me just a taste
Of disaster
If you dare
Like a siren call in the dark
You might be a star
I could worship
From the heart
I never knew
There could be a song quite as beautiful as you
Bullet through my heart
No mercy left to send
Just one exception
A light that never dies
A song that never ends
It's our affliction
A song that never ends
A light that never dies
A love that's going to change your world tonight
A truth that never fails
A beast that's never tame
And I don't know your name

Alive

Vessels of enjoyment
For the servants of my pain
Ghosts of rusted silhouettes
The system knows my name
Who lies behind the eyes that always follow?
Is there a heart inside or are you hollow?
Puppets pulled by strings
A cursed circus underground
Find escape in silence
Haunted echoes in the sound
If I'm the ending to this exhibition
Survival overcomes all superstition
Free I want to break free
From knowing you
Somewhere in the dark a voice is screaming
One of us is going to leave here bleeding
Breathe I'm trying to breathe
Inside of this
Trap you set to keep me from the daylight
Fighting for my life tonight, 'cause I'm still alive
Portraits of the monsters
Show the malice by design
Keeping onwards fearful that
I'm running out of time
The struggle to escape is growing harder
This victim of the night won't be a martyr
I am staying alive
For even just one more moment
The chance won't pass me by
The passing of time
Ghosts in the shadows watch me
Tonight I can't seem to survive

Constellations
06:09
|
|||
|
Lights go out
The sun goes down
I stand and
Turn around
And watch the
Stars above me
Time goes by
I fall apart
Things come and go
And try to break my heart
I'm trapped and
I can't seem to break free
Constellations
We're all fighting to find the truth
With determination
I'll fill the void between me and you
Looking up I will depart
I'll spread my wings so take my heart
To the constellations and make my dreams come true
Take me back
To where I once was
Turn on the lights
In the sky above
I'm lost in the
Bitter darkness
I can't breathe
In your atmosphere
Where have I gone
And how did I get here
I'm trying but I can't escape this
We own the stars
We own the sky
Mortality finds me tonight
And I don't know where I belong
Lost centuries
One broken earth
Human at last
A new rebirth
A never ending song
Hearts in the dark
Like embers glow
To rise above, or lie below
To never find the purpose
I've seen the key
I need the truth
Within our minds surviving youth
The call we heed to escape this

Impossible
05:32
|
|||
|
We found a reason to climb higher
Breaking the mold just to inspire
With all of our stars in line
Knowing there's no time to waste
It's the fire inside
The instinct, the drive
Now hold on, we're breaking new ground
No one stands to lose
So I want to choose
To embrace the hope that we've found
And suddenly I don't feel so alone
'Cause this is home
I want to take the step that seems too far
Then we'll get the chance to find out who we are
If it rains, it pours, but we keep pressing through
Nothing feels impossible with you
Two dreamers in hot pursuit
When we set our sights it's absolute
And I feel like we could make it all the way
Nothing feels impossible today
Breaking the rules to set them straight
Running our minds in figure eights
I know we are just the same
'Cause we'll never tame our hearts
And I promise you
When we've got no clue
I will do whatever it takes
Just to cheer you on
When the days go wrong
When we learn by making mistakes
We move on and we start again
With help from friends
Like the lights that give this city life
You're a glimpse of hope in miles of strife
When the problems feel much bigger than before
It's been worth it if we're having fun
'Cause my speed dial says you're number one
I don't want to stand alone anymore

How Long is Forever
05:49
|
|||
|
Lost in time
My open heart
Left behind
A world apart
With nowhere to run
I'm broken and bruised
And I don't want to live without you
A different expanse
Just too far away
You left me without a mainstay
How long is forever in your eyes?
'Cause I'm not giving up on you tonight
I want to believe love never dies
But now it's moving closer to the light
How long will a broken heart stay whole?
'Cause I feel like I'm falling apart inside
I know you're afraid, but don't let go
No, I won't let this be our last goodbye
Crawled through dust
To bring me home
Turned to rust
The house we've known
With nowhere to run
I'm broken and bruised
And I don't want to live without you
A different expanse
Just too far away
You left me without a mainstay
There's a choice we make
We bend or we break
When we can't keep denying
That nobody is trying
As the bridges burn
We live and we learn
When the world keeps spinning
And nobody is winning

Moonlight
06:16
|
|||
|
Stand in the rain tonight
Under the street lights
We find ourselves
We find ourselves
Maybe the misery
Has become part of me
Inside this shell
Inside this shell
It's hard to find the one you love when you can't find your soul
Looking for answers in a bottle now you're in the cold
I've seen the world from every angle that I've found this far
And after all the cards have fallen I've been dealt these scars
Don't let a foothold be your crutch
Don't lose the drive you need so much
When your last push becomes a shove
You've taken off the gloves
We've felt the moonlight steal our hearts
These nights of lovers under stars
Their secrets locked up in their cars
Remnants and broken parts, of lost love
Nothing to show for this
Every shot's a miss
And no one sees
And no one sees
Been to the sky and back
We've felt the thunder clap
It's part of me
It's part of me
It's hard to find the one you love when you can't find your soul
Looking for answers in a bottle now you're in the cold
I've seen the world from every angle that I've found this far
And after all the cards have fallen I've been dealt these scars
Amateur heartbreak
Oceans of mistakes
That lie within
That lie within
Sinners with innocence
Lovers within the midst
Of hate again
The pain again
Kill off the need, the lust
Rescue the both of us
While we're awake
While we're awake
Moonlight will carry you
Onward to hell and through
Until we break
Until we break

Inside of a box
Lie my emotions and mind
A masochist's kaleidoscope
It's heaven divine
Escape from delusion
Yet a dream in itself
It's never an addiction
Never crying for help
My dearly beloved
Put my tortured soul to the side
A scream turns to whisper
When it's in these eyes open wide
I want to wake up all your inner demons
I'd like to be the one to blow your mind
Gonna make you feel a new emotion
Forbidden fruits can make the sweetest wine
In my veins I want to feel your poison
Double doses when I'm feeling brave
Help me delve into the psychoactive
This carnal rush is just the high I crave
Feel my lonely heart
Pushing deeper inside
The flavors in my mouth
They taste like cyanide
I take what is left of you
But you take the most
And even when you're missing
I can still feel your ghost
My dearly beloved
Put my tortured soul to the side
A scream turns to whisper
When it's in these eyes open wide
Wake the dead tonight
Don't turn on the lights
We can find a new dimension
So instinctual
We are animal
Darker minds can find expression

Waiting Games
04:58
|
|||
|
Wishing for faith
When faith isn't real
Nothing is sound
And no lips are sealed
Spiraling down
The end that I crave
The holes left behind
Are filled by the brave
I don't want to play these waiting games
All I need's a chance to clear my name
Giving up is part of how we move along
No one's going to miss me when I'm gone
Language of hate
Love is for sale
State controlled thought
We're too scared to fail
Bricks laid by fear
Walls holding me in
Expenses of truth
Affordable sin
Mutual greed
Is all that we know
Justice is ignorance
And life is for show
I'm not a pawn
Of men on the hill
Nobody knows
The strength of my will
Nothing is real
Nothing is safe
I'm reaching for emptiness now
I know an escape
I see what's beneath
Belong to the whispers, the only way out

Run Away
04:50
|
|||
|
What is power without mercy?
Where's the contrast in the grey?
Locked inside the void forever
Life's a hefty price to pay
Deep in the void I'm calling
For angels to whisper a prayer
Vital signs are missing
And safety lies nowhere
Fall from grace
Run away from what's inside
Hide your face
You should leave me far behind
Can this flower find the sunlight?
Can this monster numb the pain?
In a soulless apparition
Love is never quite the same
For a runaway
Can the devil find redemption
Can the wicked learn the truth
Far away lies absolution
And my memories of you
Out in the rain I'm waiting
For someone to understand
Danger will always follow
So leave me if you can
I can't be your shining hero
I'm a villain deep inside
And no one looks for help in shadows
What kind of royal, then, am I?
May your thoughts of us be silent
I've got nothing left to prove
For all it's worth I'll keep on moving
If I can run away from you
|

I could be your lifeline
But you cut me long ago
I could give forgiveness
But your heart is far to cold
Blame it on my own pride
Place the fault on anyone but you
What would be difference?
No one sees the wicked deeds you do
Breath of fire and poison
Words are laced with lies and twisted truth
Cure me of temptation
Save me from the devil that I knew
Nobody can help me now
Wish I could believe you
When you say your love is fair
Wish I could believe you
When you say the feeling's there
Wish I could erase the marks you left
From clawing out my soul
Wish I could believe you
But faith has left a burning hole
I could be a wise man
But you'd whisper in my ear
Death could bring me silence
But you've manifest through fear
Trapped inside the madness
Demon on the earth and after life
Lies and disappointment
Drawing from my blood without a knife
We can make it through this
So long since I managed my escape
Is it best to follow
Or is it best to give in to your fate
Trapped inside with no way out
Held inside my head
A heart I thought was dead
Rises from the dust
Still the bane of us
I don't want to see
You replace me
I don't want to believe
Your voice somewhere in me
Wish I could believe you
When you say you'll never die
Wish I could believe you
When you say you're still alive

Floating
04:57
|
|||
|
Struggling to see our own reflection
Rivers of the tears we've shed in vain
Searching for a dream we have in common
Underneath the scars we are the same
Fighting for a cause has bettered nothing
Don't you think that love could light the way?
If we could escape from all the shouting
Maybe we could listen for one day
Aren't we all floating in the ocean?
Aren't we all standing in the rain?
Can't you see the world we built together?
Sharing in the sunshine and the pain
Someone has to be the one to show us
How lend a hand when we're afraid
After all, we're in this life together
We all get one try, and fade away
Pieces of the history we've written
Making what is human, we as one
If we share the burden, it gets lighter
Lifting all the clouds to show the sun
Do you seek the truth when no one tells it?
Do you pull away when hope gets close?
We all leave our open wounds untreated
Love can be the thing that hurts the most
But no one has to walk the road in silence
No one has to leave the home they knew
Somewhere in the flood our hearts went missing
But even in the rain the sun shines through

For good hunters and beasts alike, this haunting symphony of an album will definitely be a call to your wild side.

supported by 156 fans who also own “A Song That Never Ends”
An eclectic mix of songs, but in a good way. Many songs are jaunty and catchy. To me they invoke a sense of adventure. Perfect for D&D night.
