Hitting rock bottom
Might seem like an end
When there's no one
Who gives you a hand
But don't let them fool you
They have no clue
Who you are
and what you can do
Giving up is not an option
Loosing is a toxin
Get up again.
Show them who you are.
They are watching from afar.
Hit them hard.
And tear them all apart.
They are laughing
Trying to destroy you
They want to admire their work
But you have to push through
They can't get you down
Use all your force
You've got to stand up
And show them who's the boss
Giving up is not an option
Loosing is a toxin
Get up again.
Show them who you are.
They are watching from afar.
Hit them hard.
And tear them all apart.
Rising back to the surface
Like a phoenix from the ashes
A true metamorphosis
Shattering the masses
You are back
You showed them all
Never let those idiots
Ever get you down
Giving up is not an option
Loosing is a toxin
Get up again.
Show them who you are.
They are watching from afar.
Hit them hard.
And tear them all apart.

Money Tree

Hey, can you smell that?
Smells like happiness.
The green shimmer
Makes everyone's eyes glimmer.
What was that, you don't care about it?
Go to hell, you misfit.
That green shimmer you don’t care about it
Go to hell, you can’t stop it
How great would it be
If everyone had a money tree.
Producing
Consuming
Faking
Suppressing
Until we drop dead.
Your skin is already turning green
Your personality remains unseen.
It's consuming your life,
changing your style.
Destroying everything around you, but who cares?
Just buy new friends
Destroying everything on your way, but who cares?
new bank shares.
How great would it be
If everyone had a money tree.
Producing
Consuming
Faking
Suppressing
Until we drop dead.
How great would it be
If everyone had a money tree.
Producing
Consuming
Faking
Suppressing
Until we drop dead.
Until we drop dead.

Human Masquerade

Lyrics:
At first they're nice
Treating you gently
Some sort of masters of disguise
Being non-stop friendly
Hanging out together
Thinking this friendship would last forever
Mindless
Characterless
Fake
Human Masquerade
False Snakes
Your Fate
Human Masquerade
You gain fame?
You're out of the game
Fulfilling your dreams?
You're living in other realms
You're dancing out of the line
You're not normal anymore
Everything was better before
You're success is not fine
Mindless
Characterless
Fake
Human Masquerade
False Snakes
Your Fate
Human Masquerade
Mindless
Characterless
Fake
Human Masquerade
Suffocate
Behind your facade
Human Masquerade
They stop talking to you
But they ain't got a clue
That you don't care
about their psychological warfare
You don't give up
And rise up higher
Leaving behind
All those liars
Jealousy is the root of all evil
It's not about you.
They have problems
but surely not you
Mindless
Characterless
Fake
Human Masquerade
False Snakes
Your Fate
Human Masquerade
Mindless
Characterless
Fake
Human Masquerade
Suffocate
Behind your facade
Human Masquerade
Mindless
Fake

Ancient Mirror

Their reflection
Pure perfection
Looking at it all day long
Seeing nothing wrong
But beware the ancient mirror
Who sees all the terror
Mirror mirror on the wall
Show me the demons on this masked ball.
The mirror sees your sins
And will not stop chasing you
Until. He. Wins.
You can't hide from the mirror
It stares right into your soul.
Shining bright on your true self
Showing all your flaws.
The mirror does not forget
and becomes a threat.
Mirror mirror on the wall
Show me the demons on this masked ball.
The mirror sees your sins
And will not stop chasing you
Until. He. Wins.
Something demonic was happening
The evil leaking out of every corner
The mirror was abandoning its old shape
Creating itself a dark armor
Beware of the ancient mirror
For it will come
And will judge those
Who have turned into scum.
Mirror mirror on the wall
Show me the demons on this masked ball.
The mirror sees your sins
And will not stop chasing you
Until. He. Wins.

Hourglass

Can you feel it in your bones,
That the time is running out?
And your end is creeping closer,
and there is no hideout.
don't be scared, it will be fine
your fate is not much different than mine.
Time is running and you can't hide.
Life’s not always on your side.
Clock is ticking,
Sand is running,
and your fate is coming.
In the end, nothing will remain.
that’s not a reason to go insane.
Live your life as good as you can,
try to be as good as you only can.
being an asshole brings you nothing
You're only wasting time.
Time is running and you can't hide.
Life is not always on your side.
Clock is ticking,
sand is running,
and your fate is coming
This life is all you have,
So live as fast as you can
before rigor mortis sets in.
Don't make life harder than it already is,
face the hour glass with a smile on your face.
Time is running and you can't hide.
Life is not always on your side.
The clock is ticking,
the sand is running,
and your fate is coming

Abandoned

"In the depths of solitude, I kneel before the emptiness, where once I sought solace. My heart, heavy with the weight of shattered bonds, pleads to a God I once believed in, only to realize, in the silence of my despair, that He too has abandoned me."
A feeling of eternal hollowness
Rushing through your veins
Never ending loneliness
Forging your invisible chains
Leaving, abandoning everything you know
Hurting, killing your friends and foes.
You know how much it hurts
How it's killing you inside
Dust upon your home
Which is stand now alone
Forgotten and sealed
On a dried up field
Leaving, abandoning everything you know
Hurting, killing your friends and foes.
Think for a second before you decide
To abandon everything you love
You broke hearts and feelings
You left them all behind
They couldn't understand
What´s going on in your mind
But you didn´t care
And followed your path
Nevermind it being a nightmare
or feeling left behind
Leaving, abandoning everything you know
Hurting, killing your friends and foes.
Think for a second before you decide
To abandon everything you love
Leaving, abandoning everything you know
Hurting, killing your friends and foes.
You know how much it hurts
How it's killing you inside

Swan Song

We've come a long way,
suffered betrayals and losses,
yet never got carried away
By the evil coming across.
We stayed strong
which brought us to this song.
The journey is over
We have reached the end.
There’re no leftovers
Everything has been said.
Many tales have been told,
maybe some will follow.
Some were stone-cold
and some contained sorrow.
Yet, we told them all.
To unmask the people
on this masked ball.
The journey is over
We have reached the end.
There are no leftovers
Everything has been said.
Now we've reached the end
and justice has been made.
Eventually, everything’ll be ok.
don’t let those devious creatures
with their attractive features trick you
Because their downfall is near
And they will try to take you with them.
2x Ref.
The journey is over
We have reached the end.
There are no leftovers
Everything has been said.
