The Inferno

You were my everything, all I’ll ever be
Now that I’ve lost it all, I’m going insane
Oh, these lifeless years, drowning in sorrow
No one sees my pain hidden behind my mask
My mind has gone, it’s led me astray
Ever since you died I’ve sank in self-despise
The memories of you are fading away
I’ll never see you again, but soon we’ll reunite
I wish I had left this world instead of you, my love
My sorrow, my despair are taking me whole
My mind has gone, it’s led me astray
Ever since you died I’ve sank in self-despise
The memories of you are fading away
I’ll never see you again, but soon we’ll reunite
Needle marks in my skin, daily dose of suicide
My world has burnt to ash, you’re always in my mind
Another day, another high, just for one last time
I look at your judging eyes with remorse of what I am
Addiction now my only friend, though I still love you within
While I am waiting for the end, for a new time to begin
Deep down I feel I’ve failed you, I just wanna be free
You’ll have to help me through, ‘cause this sickness is in me
I’ve tried to take control but the drugs control me
They’re the only thing that get me through the day
I don’t think I can make it without you by my side
My life turned to shit on the day that you died
Addiction now my only friend, though I still love you within
While I am waiting for the end, for a new time to begin
Deep down I feel I’ve failed you, I just wanna be free
You’ll have to help me through, ‘cause this sickness is in me
This empire, ruins of me
Addiction, set me free
Only thing to cope with my pain, the pain of this cruel world
This god forsaken man you can’t save, my time has gone
One another fucking junkie, can’t take this anymore
All that’s left of the old me is my love for you
Addiction now my only friend, though I still love you within
While I am waiting for the end, for a new time to begin
Deep down I feel I’ve failed you, I just wanna be free
You’ll have to help me through, ‘cause this sickness is in me
This empire, ruins of me
Addiction, set me free
I promised myself I wouldn’t go this far
But what other options do I have?
They can’t see the pain inside of me
No one sees my sorrow killing me from within
My pain subsides my hatred, nothing for me to carry on
Nothing can fix my sorrow, I have been waiting for so long
I didn’t love you enough until you were gone
This pain inside of me I can’t bear anymore
I just want to end it all, I’m dying from inside
There’s no decision, I’m done with my life
After you left there’s nothing more for me
One last thing for me to do to finally unite me and you
My pain subsides my hatred, nothing for me to carry on
Nothing can fix my sorrow, I have been waiting for so long
I didn’t love you enough until you were gone
This pain inside of me I can’t bear anymore
My mind has gone, it’s led me astray
Ever since you died I’ve sank in self-despise
The memories of you are fading away
I’ll never see you again, but soon we’ll reunite
One last thought and its all for you
The good and bad, all we went through
They say only the good die young
But I hoped we wouldn’t die at all
An overdose to numb the pain
You know that this is my fate
All I’ve ever loved was you
Now you’re gone and soon I will be too
I slit my wrists open, no remorse as I gaze into your eyes
This is the path I’ve chosen, because I know I won’t rise
I can’t live this broken, it’s time I set my own demise
My arms start feeling frozen, I bleed out as you watch me die

Rain
04:46
|
|||
Thousands dying around me, there’s no escape
There’s no time for sleep, fighting to stay awake
No food, no water, just a will to survive
At the end of the barrel, it’s your time to die
Fire from the sky, all hope is gone
The storm rages on, this rain will kill us all
I rise, I will take your life tonight
In the trenches, I hope our world dies again
Brothers in blood, bonded by war
Our old lives live in the past
All we have left is one another
And one breathe could cleanse us away
Fire from the sky, all hope is gone
The storm rages on, this rain will kill us all
I rise, I will take your life tonight
In the trenches, I hope our world dies again

Arisen

Out of their graves they crawl in the dark mist of the night
Eating the flesh of those unprepared to fight
Walking skeletons covered with rotting flesh
Thousands swarming outside, army of the living dead
They rise above the earth and will destroy humankind
They walk these empty streets with hatred in their mind
Survivors broken, beaten, starving
Begging for mercy with hope in their blinded eyes
This is the apocalypse you were all waiting for
Abandoned, forgotten, this world is godforsaken
No will to live but I was not raised to give up
I will survive just to show that I can’t be broken
They rise above the earth and will destroy humankind
They walk these empty streets with hatred in their mind
Survivors broken, beaten, starving
Begging for mercy with hope in their blinded eyes
The living dead
No future in horizon
Out of their graves
The dead have arisen
They rise above the earth and will destroy humankind
They walk these empty streets with hatred in their mind
Survivors broken, beaten, starving
Begging for mercy with hope in their blinded eyes
The living dead
No future in horizon
Out of their graves
The dead have arisen

Isle of the Damned
07:54

I wake up bruised on a wreck of a plane
Bone sticking out from the side of my arm
Blood everywhere, I hear growls outside
Silently I climb from the wreck and watch in fear
Strangers surround me, spears in their hands
I get a glance at their blood red eyes
Necklaces made from bones hanging from their necks
A dozen of them staring at me, I’d better fucking run
I run through the jungle, look back, they’re following me
There’s no way to outrun them, I’d better hide
Into a dark cave I crawl, look back, they ran past me
Deeper in the cave I go, searching for the others
Deeper down I found the others, well what’s left of them
Piles of bones, clothes, rotting flesh and an awful stench
Is this some kind of a joke, or pure reality?
Someone heading my way, is this the end of me?
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Drenched in fear, I prepare to fight
Waiting in the dark, with a bone knife
A stab in the neck, blood spurting far
I look in her eyes as she falls
She was of my kind, what have I done?
A crack behind me, a stab through my chest
Blood flows on my shirt as I pass out
I wake up in a foreign place
Locked like an animal in a cage
Manage to break the lock and sneak out
While they’re having their feast
Half-eaten bodies fill up the scene
I don’t know if this is a dream
What god-forsaken land have I fallen upon?
Someone please save me from this nightmare...
I find more of my kind around a fire
I watch them closely, eating their friend
Silently I attack, one by one they fall
A man on the ground, begging for mercy
I cut a part of him, starving
There’s no other choice
I look around and natives arrive
They welcome me with open arms, I have become one of them

The Ruins of Alexandria
09:20
|

Amongst the ruins a spectre walks
Once royal but now forgotten
Trapped in my ethereal state
My body left to decay
Help me, set me free
Let me out of my misery
Trapped in a world all alone
I am the ghost of Alexandria
From the depths of hell I rise
I have been brought back to life
To set my vengeance on humankind
Now it is your turn to die
Help me, set me free
Let me out of my misery
Trapped in a world all alone
I am the ghost of Alexandria

Below the Dead

First sight of sunlight, how can it be so bright?
So beautiful, yet so deceiving
Under the surface for 25 years
This is not how I imagined the world to be
Our odyssey has just began
The journey to the land unknown
My hopes and dreams for humankind
I hope they know my sacrifice
My mission, my lifework
A safe place for all of humankind
This odyssey I won’t survive
But for all of us, I‘ll take the sacrifice
Our odyssey has just began
The journey to the land unknown
My hopes and dreams for humankind
I hope they know my sacrifice

You were my everything, all I’ll ever be
Now that I’ve lost it all, I’m going insane
Oh, these lifeless years, drowning in sorrow
No one sees my pain hidden behind my mask
My mind has gone, it’s led me astray
Ever since you died I’ve sank in self-despise
The memories of you are fading away
I’ll never see you again, but soon we’ll reunite
I wish I had left this world instead of you, my love
My sorrow, my despair are taking me whole
My mind has gone, it’s led me astray
Ever since you died I’ve sank in self-despise
The memories of you are fading away
I’ll never see you again, but soon we’ll reunite
