I'm rising above what brings me stress
There's nothing that I surely need to confess
I can live with my flaws no need to impress
Settling old scores you only sent to test
The past has left memories I can't afford
They served me well but now they're best ignored
And I'll return the favour right back at ya
What's gone before
I've no regrets
I weathered a storm
That only leads to upset
What life has in store
It's time to assess
Don't limit yourself
Nothing for me to confess
What's gone before
What's gone before
What's gone before
Just keeps on haunting haunting haunting
You killed the only thing that I truly adored
The signs of which were present but I chose to ignore
If you find the trust we lost then just keep the reward
I've got faith in myself that only I can restore
The past has left memories I can't afford
They served me well but now they're best ignored
And I'll return the favour right back at ya
What's gone before
I've no regrets
I weathered a storm
That only leads to upset
What life has in store
It's time to assess
Don't limit yourself
Nothing for me to confess
Nothing for me to confess
What's gone before
What's gone before
What's gone before
Just keeps on haunting haunting haunting

Search for a will and wisdom
To live an enchanted life
Looking past your sentiments
will bring light into your eyes
Nothing in this world is perfect
You'll find peace on your own
Dream as far as you can dream
Let destiny bring you hope
Dream away
Dream past the horizon
Dream away
Like stars, dreams are endless
Dream away
Dream for the moment
Dream away
Dream past the Heavens
Life is full of hurt
Life will bring mistakes
Walk away from it all
Let time heal the pain
Break free and move on
Acknowledge the life you've made
We all walk our own path
Watch the past as it fades
Dream away
Dream past the horizon
Dream away
Like stars, dreams are endless
Dream away
Dream for the moment
Dream away
Dream past the Heavens

I loved you as you killed me
You made our world of tragedy
We existed in a state
Between the paths of love and hate
All your lies were parasites
I let them fester, they multiplied
And let your poison slowly in
Then felt collapse from within
You infect what you reject
And you no longer have to hide
your hate for me within your eyes
You infect what you reject
And you no longer have to hide
Your hate for me within your eyes
You and me a fantasy
Built on lies I realise
It wasn't love, it was despise
You holding on to my demise
You and me
You and me a fantasy
Your corruption was spreading in
You used it like a second skin
A way to hide your other face
Behold, the master of disgrace
I chose to let you live your lies
At cost to me my sacrifice
You infect what you reject
And you no longer have to hide
Your hate for me within your eyes
You and me a fantasy
Built on lies I realise
It wasn't love, it was despise
You holding on to my demise
You and me a fantasy
Built on lies I realise
It wasn't love, it was despise
You holding on to my demise
You infect what you reject

It seems so far below you
To show this disrespect
Never thought it would be me
To shoulder your contempt
No reason no regard
For the future we once shared
Left waiting in the dark
No warning only fear
That was then and this is now
(My) Footing all but fails me
And when I touch the sky
It turns out you weren't with me
A future you destroy
Where I thought you'd stand
And when I reach those heights
I will miss you then
Perhaps I should have known
A cliché but it's true
Nothing lasts forever
Someone I thought I knew
And should I ever see you
When I live my time
I will turn from you
And remember who you were
That was then and this is now
(My) Footing all but fails me
And when I touch the sky
It turns out you weren't with me
A future you destroy
Where I thought you'd stand
And when I reach those heights
I will miss you then

All we have to do is take back what we know
There's a side of us that wants the afterglow
There's a side of us that wants the afterglow
Let me break free from this cage
Time won't wait for me this time
Let me break free from this rage
And the grips of doubt
Let me break free from this cage
Time won't wait for me this time
Oh we know by now it's over if we don't
Take a look inside to find some deeper hope
Yeah, our demons have a lot they want to say
But it's up to you to make them go away
Let me break free from this cage
Time won't wait for me this time
Let me break free from this rage
And the grips of doubt
Let me break free from this cage
Time won't wait for me this time
Let me break free from this rage
And the grips of doubt
Let me break free from this cage
Time won't wait for me this time
Let me break free from this rage
And the grips of doubt
Let me live again
Let me live again
Let me live again

How deep you have to fall
To see the reality
How much you have to lie
To feel really alive
You can’t change the rules
And you can’t hide the sun
But you can go and disappear
Let them see your real face
The one only we both know
Can we forget the pain we feel
Can we erase all that we did
Nothing will be the same again
But I will try to forgive all that I can
When the winter comes
How deep you have to fall
To change the reality
How long you have to escape
To feel really alive
Can we forget the pain we feel
Can we erase all that we did
Nothing will be the same again
But I will try to forgive all that I can
When the winter comes
Can we forget the pain we feel
Can we erase all that we did
Nothing will be the same again
But I will try to forgive all that I can
When the winter comes

Here I am
Struggling to find meaning
Always looking for a solution
So I search
I search high and low
When the answer is inside of me
When I feel the shadows growing
I light a fire in my heart
When I feel the darkness coming
The torch inside me guides my way
And when I feel the shadows growing
I light a fire in my soul
When I feel the darkness coming
I know the light is always there
I know the light is always there
I know the light is always there
I feel it burning
I feel it glowing
The flame is turning
Brighter and brighter
All my hopes and all my dreams
All I fight for, all I live for
It's right here in my grasp
And I will never ever let it go
When I feel the shadows growing
I light a fire in my heart
When I feel the darkness coming
The torch inside me guides my way
And when I feel the shadows growing
I light a fire in my soul
When I feel the darkness coming
I know the light is always there
When I feel the shadows growing
I light a fire in my heart
When I feel the darkness coming
The torch inside me guides my way
And when I feel the shadows growing
I light a fire in my soul
When I feel the darkness coming
I know the light is always there
I know the light is always there

You’ve been wandering by yourself down these corridors
You didn’t come alone so who is this date of yours
You don’t strike me as the lost and lonely
Colour me intrigued, indulge me
Be a doll and lift your veil of secrecy
Feel the pulse, the dissolute beat
Neon signs that guide you through the after hours
Light beams tracing contours on the floor
Bodies sway and merge into a bed of flowers
I don’t care - you don’t look like a girl
I wouldn’t dare - you don’t look like a boy
Whatever it takes I will do it
To get me close to you
I don’t care - you don’t look like a girl
I wouldn’t dare - you don’t look like a boy
Whatever it takes I will do it
To make it up to you
Inside the dim-lit labyrinth of my mind
Feelings of fascination
Dancing on the edge of danger
Sweet taste of anticipation
Scent of promises unspoken
The halls are lined with silhouettes and strangers
Feel the pulse, the dissolute beat
Neon signs that guide you through the after hours
Light beams tracing contours on the floor
Bodies sway and merge into a bed of flowers
I don’t care - you don’t look like a girl
I wouldn’t dare - you don’t look like a boy
Whatever it takes I will do it
To get me close to you
I don’t care - you don’t look like a girl
I wouldn’t dare - you don’t look like a boy
Whatever it takes I will do it
To make it up to you

Weil die Welt sich nicht mehr dreht
Viele Tränen sind geweint
Wird das Ende noch vertagt?
Viele Worte sind gesagt
Und waren doch anders gemeint
Viele Tage sind gezählt
Und die Zeit sie zieht vorbei
Viele Szenen sind gezeigt
Durch die man sich nur quält
Wenn kein Stern am Himmel steht
Und die Zeit nicht mehr vergeht.
Wenn kein Wind dich zu mir weht
weil die Welt sich nicht mehr dreht
Viele Tropfen sind gefallen
Und die Erde hat gebebt
Viele Jahre sind gelebt
Die immer widerhallen
Viele Träume sind geträumt
Und wurden doch niemals gelebt
Viele Ziele sind erstrebt
Doch aus dem Weg geräumt
Wenn kein Stern am Himmel steht
Und die Zeit nicht mehr vergeht.
Wenn kein Wind dich zu mir weht
weil die Welt sich nicht mehr dreht
Viele Tränen sind geweint
Wird das Ende noch vertagt?
Viele Worte sind gesagt
Und waren doch anders gemeint
Viele Tage sind gezählt
Und die Zeit sie zieht vorbei
Viele Szenen sind gezeigt
Durch die man sich nur quält
Ich such und find‘ dich nirgendwo
Wird‘ meines Lebens nicht mehr froh
Kein Tag der ohne Schmerz vergeht
Wenn die Welt sich nicht mehr dreht
Wenn kein Stern am Himmel steht
Und die Zeit nicht mehr vergeht.
Wenn kein Wind dich zu mir weht
weil die Welt sich nicht mehr dreht
Weil die Welt sich nicht mehr dreht

Let me cry a river,
Let me feel the pain,
Let the tears carve channels
Through my hearts domain
Let the storm inside me
Rage without disguise
Let my sorrow dance
In these sleepless eyes
Let me sink in shadows
Where the ache is deep
Where the silence speaks
Secrets of the night I keep
Let me taste the bitter
Let me mourn the loss
For in the grief and sadness
I'll find what's worth the cost
Let me weep in darkness
Let my tears fall free
For through the pain and heartache
I'll find what's left of me
Let me sink in shadows
Where the ache is deep
Where the silence speaks
Secrets of the night I keep
Let me taste the bitter
Let me mourn the loss
For in the grief and sadness
I'll find what's worth the cost
Let me sing all the songs I wrote
’til I feel warm in my embrace
That will keep me safe and warm
Until the sunlight strokes my face

There are so many times
That we'll never have again
Countless memories I cherish
And some I can forget
You carried in you
A world that always felt like home
Whenever I would look into your eyes
All I saw was hope
But now all I have to show
For what you mean to me
Is the emptiness that echoes now
Where your light used to be
Is the emptiness that echoes now
Where your light used to be
I tear at the skin
Of who I have become
To free the sadness deep within
So that I can move on
In this life that you had felt
Was worth abandoning
After you promised to be there for me
Now what am I supposed to think?
How can I understand
How you could leave me this way?
I need to find a reason
To justify this pain
Because all I have to show
For what you mean to me
Is the emptiness that echoes now
Where your light used to be
I tear at the skin
Of who I have become
To free the sadness deep within
So that I can move on
I'll heal these wounds
You've opened up for me
But the darkness that I thought I knew
Is nothing like it seemed
You carried in you
A world that always felt like home
Whenever I would look into your eyes
All I saw was hope
But now all I have to show
For what you mean to me
Is the emptiness that echoes now
Where your light used to be
I tear at the skin
Of who I have become
To free the sadness deep within
So that I can move on
To free the sadness deep within
So that I can move on
