Hypnotized at moonlight, levitating through the woods Heavy fog all over, repeated, knocking in my head Forest mystic place, embrace this sinful shape I should’ve never drank that last remaining drop of wine That night! I should’ve never slept between her legs again Empty feel! A blackout then, the smell of humid soil I realize I'm naked and lost in the woods You're here for me, please sing to me I'm paralyzed and floating straight above the ground Looking up! Suddenly a burning heat runs through my spine It builds inside! I'm forced to open up my mouth and throw a beam of radiant light directing it to the moon Forest mystic place, embrace this sinful shape You're here for me, please sing to me It fills my bones, The forest enters my soul, it makes me embrace my faults So slow, it's so slow

Ever since I heard you talking to the crowd I knew pretty lies were being nurtured Then I met you waiting in that public line I saw fire smoothly flowing through your veins, pumped again by your rotten soul’s heart Brilliant ways of sneaking past their minds, but not mine, I will find such a pretty way to swiftly stop you Waiting for the nightmares Waiting for the night to fall I stole the bullets from your gun I stole the bullets, lock and load Everyday I see you smiling at the crowd I see pretty faces being nurtured You will feel the venom freely flowing through your veins, pumped again by your rotten soul’s heart Brilliant way of sneaking past your mind, I will find the blazing fire such a pretty way to swiftly catch up I stole the bullets from your gun I stole the bullets, lock and load Brace myself I stole the bullets from your gun I stole the bullets your loaded gun I stole the bullets from your gun I stole the bullets for my twisted soul

If I stay more time here, I would be giving up on me Surrounded just by sheep, an aberration to creativity A huge wall arises obstructing direction to move ahead The greatest intention to break through and make my own rules! A nation that does not believe in its own art, in its own faculties Excuses everywhere and massive media ignoring all of us A huge wall arises obstructing direction, contention The greatest intention to break through and make my own rules! A huge wall arises obstructing direction, dissension The greatest intention to break through and make my own rules! A hindering wall arises in front of me I must break through

Hello Fool 03:46
Enters home, says hello, she knows he’s alone shares a kiss, holy gift, whispers “listen to me: do your job, take this gun, the address is written down here” He’s amused, so confused, breathing through that look, does the math, gets it right, he could lose her heart... Drives away, finds the place and we know he does not hesitate She fools him again I’m inside, lights are out, I feel a cozy warmth, there’s no time, for desire, for another lie Underneath spotless sheets goddess’ dreams get pierced by my bullet’s fire As he looks, he starts to lose and despise the mood, smells of blood and metal join, like a perfect drug He gets a rush, feels the cold and the sweat that’s rotting through his soul I think I can keep away the pain The truth is that only you reign You fool me again I’ve been trying to restrain Shattered thoughts, nature’s lost, she devours his moans, in that mist, he nestles Does his job, takes that gun and we know he will not hesitate

#thegame 03:25
I can see the prey approaching, it’s a place she’s never seen before Out of options… she will not control a thing at all I know my game, it will only leave some scratches I must take her, it will only leave a broken life Tales so sick inside my head failing ‘cause she’s stalling Find her waiting for your passion’s ways, always ready to disrupt this game Falling from my soul, falling as she stalls Find her waiting for the smoke to fade, always ready for this game Falling from my soul I’m escaping as I travel to a place I’d never seen before Out of options… I cannot control my very own thoughts I know I’m failing, but I’m trying to maneuver I must take her, but I can barely stay afloat Tales so sick inside my head failing ‘cause she’s stalling Find her waiting for your passion’s ways, always ready to disrupt this game Falling from my soul, falling as she stalls Find her waiting for the smoke to fade, always ready for this game Falling from my soul Feel the mist now, come on, feel the mist now Feel uncommon, press on, feed the dark fog Feel the mist now, come on, fear this normal love Find her waiting for your passion’s ways, always ready to disrupt this game Falling from my soul, falling as she stalls Find her waiting for the smoke to fade, always ready to destroy your game Falling from my soul, playing from below

Strikeout 04:18
Today nothing makes sense, not for me Today I asked myself, why am I here? No arguments to set or to plead Just like an eidolon, turquoise mist What's my purpose in life and in this world? Depressing state of mind, of body and soul As the colors of my life keep losing strength, I completely lose my sanity and faith hoping lies persuade me all again Strike out the light! I'm gradually fading unable to fake it lately With nothing left inside, view in blank With nothing left to share, what's the point of going on? So what's the use of well-begotten talents? What's the contribution to this silence? As time goes by everything goes to hell Strike out the light! I'm gradually fading unable to fake it lately Tired, sad and lonely Strike out the light! I'm gradually fading unable to fake it lately Today nothing makes sense, not for me Today I asked myself, why am I here? Is there's a truthful light where we go? We've built a massive lie, hell, you know

Icicle 04:35
I met a girl who could freeze your heart for years, yet she was also the best shipmate at a stormy sea I was unprepared to fly as high as planes above us, and when winter came up I was already an unknown She said: "These wounds you made, I’m hurt, I'll put an end to this, this time I'll freeze your heart in order to remove you" At that moment she turned into solid gleaming ice, since then I've been walking through lonely glacier fields Breathing hardly, freezing anguish Wander silence, free my will! "A foolish boy intrudes into my life as morning winter melts between my hands, unpleasant voice echoes beneath my prideful frigid life" "I have not the time for this, I no longer recognize you either, just stop imposing your love" "It wasn't me who ruined things, it wasn't me who was immature, all you feel is something meaningless" Breathing hardly, freezing anguish Wander silence, free my will! Breathing hardly, freezing sorrow Wander silence, free me of this pain

Kerosene 03:41
Kerosene essence I’ve got since craving days just about to explode with all that’s in its way, Paraffin figments, I've got the nerves, non success events, finally choked Unpromising scenario, it's driving me insane The older you become, the harder it seems to dream I'm barely holding on! I´ve been trying to overcome, I guess that I'm not good enough I´m barely holding on! Been persisting for too long, frustrated nature, boiling soul You live, you die, you miss the point and this goes on and on and on… Mistakenly I think I'll leave my footprint here, but truly no one gives a fuck of what I've got to say, Hephaestus strength I'd wish to dominate, to forge a dense metal, a life proof vest Breathlessly I feel I ain’t got more time to live The older you become, the more skeptic you result I'm barely holding on! I've been too long in the dark, my inner fire is almost lost I'm barely holding on! Been persisting for too long, frustrated nature, boiling soul You live, you die, you miss the point and this goes on and on and on… I've managed to survive, but seems I'm destined to fall through The time is right, inflame myself in blueish, funky kerosene

The Blast 04:00
The blast that makes the big things go on, a blast to tear a hole through my thoughts Breaks inside, comes, takes all Follows itself into its own course Inside out ... Explodes just to implode again, cracks the shell way over my head! The blast that shreds the things I know, a blast to tear a hole through my thoughts Bursts inside, comes, takes all Follows itself into its own course Wake up floating, this is more than I can stand All my memories and even time and space they fade away It’s a void inside of me and it fills me up with something I can't contain Inside out... My head is a bombsite cracks the shell way over my head! Turn it off… This fuse burns too bright now cracks the shell of my head! So strong I get sucked by a wormhole Redeem my dreams and let me go now Inside out ... Explodes just to implode again, cracks the shell way over my head! Turn it off… This fuse burns too bright now cracks the shell of my head!

Monclova 04:54
Do you remember where we met? Northern place A blazing sun delights my sense, baby... A balmy rhythm through my veins as I stare Unforgettable love thirst Childhood dreams per everywhere Glorious place Reminds a pleasant movie scene... And I'm feelin' fine and inspired and I'm feelin' fine! Monclova! I wrote these words in a letter, so that just maybe you read them As I dance with you… As you spot my eyes you can see my soul, and as you see my soul you can feel my flow What if I take you in my arms? What if I say I'm in love with you? Let me whisper in your ear Marvelous girl This is driving me insane And it's sweet to understand That’s Monclova The place of our olden days And I'm feelin' fine and inspired and I'm feelin' fine! Monclova! I wrote these words in a letter, so that just maybe you read them

Poison 23:59 05:37
Pitiful when I’m lost virtues dissolve, I find your memory completely torn and dying from the poison Torpor seems like æther, freely grows then eats through me merely faking normal feelings, silent as it poisons me Just an hour… Too much In an hour I may leave and I’ll find comfort Just a minute… Pull through In a minute I may inhale and I’ll find comfort With the skyline stars outside, how foolish have I been to call you soulmate while I’m being shattered by your poison? So full of you I’ve always been, pure gleaming light once dwelled within Now you’re blackened cancer slowly spreading, burning like a poison Just one minute left, then I will stop and I will leave and I’ll find comfort Just a minute… Pull through In a minute I will exhale, and I’ll find comfort I’ve poisoned myself enough
