Above Ourselves
02:05
|
|

tonight we rise above ourselves and leave the daily race behind us
to rebuilt and regain our inner strength, seizing every moment of this
this is our time and our place, we won't give up
call off the mourning, end the rain
yesterday's set and gone, no need for regrets
no chance to undo, what's done is done
tomorrow's rising, just look ahead
and learn your lesson every day again, every mistake you've made for this one time alone
every mighty deed you've done will be your example for the days to come
better learn your lesson from each passed day
i will learn my lesson from every day

Still Holding On
03:26
|
|

do you remember those nights, when we were screaming as one
with hearts of anger and rage, but posi state of mind and thoughts
let's make this moment count, let's make this one night heard
wake up tomorrow with the screams still in our ears
they mean the world to me
a crowded room will suffice to make me feel at home
you mean the world to me
wherever you are right now, i know you're out there
it was us against the world, one for all and all for one, outcasts on the outside
a long wide open road each new day with a crowded room of friends at each end
in times like these when nothing can divide us, i wish they'd never ever come to an end
when words meant more than a fucking hairstyle, and a fist in the air counted without black nail polish
i'm still holding on to what's almost fallen apart

The End Of An Era
02:48
|
|
||
|
i scream these words with thoughts of you my friend
remembering all the nights we've spent in this together
in the wake of an era, we've been the eye of the storm
set sail against the wind, gave all and beyond
embrace the time we have for once more before the credits fill the void
embrace the time we've had one last time and seize this moment without grief
if there's one night to remember, let it be this one, side by side we stand
at the end of an era i'll cherish your legacy and keep the fire burning
and your footsteps have left a mark, guiding me through these days
now that your gone i march alone, where will i leave my marks?
will my words ever be heard? will i leave a mark at all?
will i touch anyone at all today?

Go All The Way
03:58
|
|
||
|
the storm is rising, black clouds pervade the sky
the walls converging, claustrophobic
you are responsible for every step that you take
you chose your allies wisely and you go all the way
the only way out is through, set your goals
your blood, your sweat, your tears are worth this constant fight
you define the terms, go all the way
strength in mind, define your values
strength in heart, face your demons
it's your progression, your only chance to grow
there is no way to hide and back up from this
with every step you take the next will be easier
your faith'll be fed by fallen demons on your way
always remember this is your only chance
always remember life's your trial to move on

A Perpetual Strive
03:45
|
|
||
|
hollow eyes filled with anger longing for a change with every heartbeat
there's no one else to blame but the reflection starring back at me
face your enemy, face yourself, for it's weakness is in you
strive every day, endeavor the most, i'm sick and tired of all the excuses
sick of all the easy way-outs, now i set my own standards to the highest values
for a weak mind will only give birth to weak words
and a weak heart will spawn no acts of virtue
and this is what everyone should learn
and this is what i will keep in mind
a straight neck cannot be broken
an upright spine will not bend
and my actions will proof you wrong
and my actions will proof my strength

What We've Built Up
03:23
|
|
||
|
i disobey you the same as i once cherished you
hear these words let them slit your throat, bleed you out, as i once bled dry
run this rose's thorn down my vein, let the blood cleanse my poisoned heart
the knifes are drawn, prepare for instant death
with a smile on your lips, denying every intention
i can't end this with a spark of hope left
you've shown your true form once again, a marvellous flower with a poisonous scent
i should have read between the lines, should have watched out
selfish heart beyond eyes full of beauty
as the sun sets there is no more chance, to deny for what i stand
from what we've built up it's a long way down
i hope contentedness stays out of reach
and remembrance is all that's left for you
this is my last accusation to you i'll set myself apart
from this day forward i will not let you rule my actions anymore
you shall not rest for this

Towards The Rising Sun
03:39
|
|
||
|
as the sun sets, i’m looking back on the days passed and the steps i took
if yesterday's about regrets and tomorrow's about doubts, what's today good for at all?
face the rising sun, this time there's no retreat, reaching out for the days to come
raise the stakes, all new challenges welcome
embrace each day, each step and every breaking dawn
live all, rise above your expectations
sticks and stones overcome, longing for tomorrow
no more step back, retreat is not an option
this time, today, this time there's no regrets
as i walk on facing the rising sun
cast all shadows behind my back
satisfied with every step, confident in myself
reaching out for the days to come

My Blueprint
03:16
|
|
||
|
in all modesty i can say that i've got a fierce will to live
the others fight a little and then they lose hope
but i'll beat the odds as great as they are
i will not surrender, i will not give in
this is my blueprint for better days
i will not surrender, i will not give in
this is my blueprint for a better tomorrow
no question of courage, but something constitutional
no matter the cost of battle or the losses i may take
it's the result and in the end i'll make it count
tomorrow, these times won't bring me down
tomorrow, these days won't tie me down
i seek for comfort in my own peace of mind
recite my values, taking my life back

You're Not Alone In This
03:03
|
|
||
|
paths seem to lead nowhere, every trail's a dead end street
defcon #1 engaged, prepare the impact
tomorrow seems so far away, with all hope lost in past fights
from this point it's up to you
swing your fist against your demons
stand up yourself, i know you better
you're not like this, you're so much stronger
but if you need my hand, i'll be there for you
always remember, you're not alone in this
the walls are closing in, there's no air left to breath
thoughts spinning around, solution out of reach
you were once so strong and proud, i see it in your eyes
this faint glance still remains
all you have is today
this song goes out to you, trapped in your own cage
there's always a new day, always one more chance
i will not, i will not, i won't give up on you
this promise is to you with all sincerity
when everything's fallen apart, hope seems out of reach

As Many Times I Fail
05:31
|
|
||
|
are we still alive? after all these let downs and all the deaths that i died
are we still in place? to feel these words so deeply, touching from within
can we reinvent? this feeling once cherished, lost so many times before
can we find the seed? to nourish this former fertile ground once again
beneath all the scars, there's life left to breathe
beneath every shattered bone, there's strength left to fight
beneath every broken dream, there's hope left for change
beneath every shed tear, there's faith left to start again
carried away towards the bright sun on whispered words and heartbeats
given flight by wings that have failed to work so many times before
your eyes, a depth to sink into, to drown in
the surface left behind, all that's given, (no thought of what) can be taken away
i still believe
no matter how many deaths my heart has died
i will rise again
i reach out, can't reach you
as many times as i fail, i will try again
