1.	Light the Wick 01:10	lyrics	buy track
Why do I need to panic everytime I fall asleep? Lightnings and thunders are all I can hear Storms are dark thoughts spinning, darkness rains on me The sun's disappeared, Light the wick The night begins.
2.	Agoraphobia 05:54	lyrics	buy track
stay awake every night In my hysterical cry, The outer world now is scaring me And this wet room is my place to hide. I'm hardly looking outside And starting to fear the light, Darkness has taken me in her cold arms And is whispering (to) me "don't be shy". I've taped the windows so that I won't have to see, I've locked the door and thrown the key And when the candle runs out I'll be face to face with my old friend, Darkness looking straight into my eyes with her Smile! Crippling voice and haunting Laugh! Echoing down my chest and Lungs! Prisoner of irrational! Now she's talking to me But I don’t understand, Is it all in my head? Is it a dream? Don't have to deal with society, No more panic attacks or anxiety, Slowly fell into insanity It's my consciousness leaving no choice. Back to the wall with nothing to show Until the first light of dawn. Is anybody aware of me now, All the people so far I have known? Taped windows will protect me 'till the day I die. Here I can be myself, no masks and no disguise And when the candle runs out I'll be face to face with my old friend, Darkness looking straight into my eyes with her Smile! Crippling voice and haunting Laugh! Echoing down my chest and Lungs! Prisoner of irrational! Now she's talking to me But I don't understand, Even if I could scream No one will hear! In many days, weeks or even years from now Someone will find this room and want to look around, That door won't open so they'll have to break it down: They'll find my corpse still laying on the ground!
3.	Thy Hand, Great Anarch 05:06	lyrics	buy track
A street light So dimly touches my window glass Invisible shadows on the wall The blackness is swallowing the world The cities, the people inside them Disappear behind this unbreakable veil, so will I? The powerless street light’s now withering out The candle light's all that remains by my side As I let go of my mind in another night Silence paints everything, I Can hear the blood into my veins Fighting my hopeless battle Stranded 'cos it's against myself Powerless! Abandoned in the dark Shivering Holding to myself I fall apart Whenever darkness comes Phobias Gonna take their toll. "Death sentence!" Cries an eerie voice right at me, A voice I've heard many times before "Resistance!" The left side tries to answer As it slowly loses control of my mind. The night will soon come knocking at my door To feed my fears and watch my nightmares grow. Thy hand, Great Anarch, lets the curtain fall And universal darkness buries all. Thy hand, Great Anarch, lets the curtain fall And universal darkness buries all.
4.	Stuck in a Painting 06:15	lyrics	buy track
Blackout Thunders and storms Shadows Cast on the wall Crying out Where did you go? I'm frightened and I'm screaming but I know It's all in vain I'm feeling i'm about to faint My eyes are burning for the pain And I'm seeing all the hopes I’m chasing fade Is this gonna be my grave? Or am I just a bit insane? Am I stuck in a painting? Distorted faces I can't even recognize but i stand on my feet 'cos I got what I need And I'm starting to realize I feel in peace Was not the trip to make me sick I heard to many people speak Now with your bullshit further from my ears Could be standing there for years This is the landscape of my dreams This painting's my homeplace I think there is someone in the room where I belong Wish I could stay here for so long My tired eyes just can't believe what they see So many people are searching for me Leave me here in my painting Leave me here on my own I know you will think that I'm crazy But I just feel at home Don't wanna come back to my places Don't wanna come back to the world And do you know what I'm blaming? You know, I'm blaming you all Don't take me out! I lost my hope And my home doesn't feel like home I'll be spending the time in my room with no light Not forgetting to lock the door Nothing to say Won't get up for another day Now your bullshit is coming to me again So I'm happy to pass away.
5.	Δαίδαλος (Darkest Hallway) 04:43	lyrics	buy track
Wait! I'm standing In this unknown place and I Can't recall how I got here. Walls Surround me But in front of me begins The darkest hallway. Walk down this corridor But there are many more, Could there be A Minotaur? Well, I feel like something keeps running after me, Getting so close now I can feel its breath down my neck, Start to run, then turn around with racing heart To find out there was never anyone at all! I know what's chasing me Inside this labyrinth Phobias and Anxiety Like you, Daedalus, I build twisted labyrinths, Like Minos I hide my horrible monsters in them, Knossos couldn't be as tangled as my mind, My Theseus won't find his Ariadne's thread Screams Of terror Echo in these prison walls And in the mind that built them, Wings Of Daedalus Will not save me from this endless, Darkest hallway.
6.	God of Revenge 04:26	lyrics	buy track
I can't explain what's happening to me Like if I felt the voice of death Fuck, my blood is getting black I feel like the god of revenge “I'm in your brain like a deadly disease How long has been since we haven't seen I'm sick deeply, hatred is my cure” I feel like the god of revenge Why do we dream of flying but we're born without wings? We are only numbers and that we will be Love and hate are really two different things But please answer this: live to die or die to live? And if revenge should be served cold I'll be the most glacial waiter in the world Because sometimes we feel the need to kill I feel like the god of revenge! And if revenge should be served cold I'll be the most glacial waiter in the world Because sometimes we feel the need to kill I feel like the god of revenge!
7.	Regret 04:48	lyrics	buy track
“Rage, What you never did or should have said, All the times your whole life could have changed, Sorrow keeps you locked inside a cage, In chains like a prisoner of war You will think about it evermore: As you see your own mistakes unfold Forget is impossible at all.” The flapping wings of a butterfly Sometimes make such a difference So, staring at a white wall, hypnotized, I wonder what it all could be.. All I have Is just memories of rainy afternoons, Wasted days.. Consequences Are carved out in time, unbreakable, They cannot change, nor they can hide And I can't leave them all behind, They come to my mind every other day “Scars Of trees are engraved into their bark. They won't go away and they'll get dark To remain there as a living mark. But you, like trees, can go ahead and grow, This is the way to heal it: even though The scar won't disappear, it will not go, It will become a smaller part of you.” I should have spent my time with things I like, Experienced day by day my world, Instead I woke up almost every night Thinking about what I've done wrong All I am Just a fallen tree in dreary wilderness, No one heard me I'll eventually run out of my time, this miserable 'Cos I can't leave regrets behind But still, no one will hear my cry So why even wake up for other days?
8.	Awake 03:24	lyrics	buy track
Life's laughing at my skin, Burned and fucked up, An anxious breathing Can't dream awaken Feeling dead without being free, My mind chained They stole it To make him I'm born For a reason that no one can tell, My forehead hurts, But the blade is painting my smile Will I ever survive? The White Man is staring at me, Million voices, The perfect human being, Intended to take control I'm born For a reason that no one should tell, My body is strong, But I can't see who's behind, Will I ever survive? I'm born For a reason that no one will tell, I’ll rule my world, And the pain will never be mine, Will I ever...?
9.	Aware 06:38	lyrics	buy track
Fuck, it's 3 AM, my eyes are open wide Will I ever leave this never-ending night? Oh once again I fear I'm paralyzed Can feel a rope that holds my wrists so tight He's come back again, red eyes and skin pure white Now I understand the purpose of his life Why just me? Help me please! Set me free! Let me live! White Man, Don't stare at me! Take down That blade from me! Your plan Won't be achieved! No man Will ever fight for you Tell me what you're doing to me I'm not ready for immortality If I really could escape death That would be the greatest fatality Darkness in the room, a candle shed the light His imagination starting running wild Can feel the strength pervading all my veins I'll break the rope whatever it may take Now I can get up and punch him in the face But he jumps back, hits my stomach with his blade I'm on my knees but something's rather strange I'm bleeding but I cannot feel the pain White Man, Look what you did! You can't Escape from me I'll kill You ruthlessly Now you Won't come another night Distorted face With white skin and mad eyes Fallen out of sight, Now I realise I'm standing lonely Right outside my bed Drowning in my sweat Where is the white man? Shaking and astray Like that pale, weak flame And when the candle runs out I'll be face to face with my old friend, My old friend!
10.	Beyond This Day 08:46	lyrics	buy track
Once again I'm lonely Right outside my bed Smoke comes from the candle Early morning sun I'm awake, is it all over? Am I free? By the east horizon All my nightmares lie They are my fierce enemies I face every night No courage or pride Can bring me hope Now the sun is chasing them Will it fail or thrive? Any day can be the last For his light to shine Sky has the pale colours Of lonely thoughts Someday I'll lay these fears away And end this hopeless agony That day won't come The night has gone And what remains? The tears I shed My shaking hands Cold breaths flowing through the silence Clouds have left an empty sky Sun is hiding by the horizon nightmares fearing for its rise Crippling voice and haunting laugh Will all of this end on one morning at 4 AM With the eyes on the horizon? No light will come but raging storms As the blackest thunder Shouts across the wall All the clocks are frozen And the sky will fall Hope this day won't come And wait for dawn The longest shadows start to form As my dear saviour shily shows The light has come The night has gone But nothing changed Beyond this day They'll come again Warm light flowing through the silence Clouds have left a pale blue sky Sun is just above the horizon Carry on my hopeless fight In many days, weeks or even years from now I'll be delighted as my old friend comes around Should I keep hoping or should I take me out Of here? Save me! Kill me!
11.	They'll Come Again 01:16	lyrics	buy track
Why am I afraid of dying every time I fall asleep? They're only nightmares and that they will be Dream and day have really few differences: They both end like this, Close your eyes And start to live
