Our Ways

Hey!
Hear us out!
And hear us well!
This ain’t just another fucking anthem!
Merely an intimate confession
The inside-out of our flaming hearts
Vials of liquid - fire pouring out
Five elements fused into an alloy
Blacksmiths of thick riffs
Jewelers of rich melodies
These are our ways (These are our ways!)
The sweetest salvation
Joy through creation
And sharing the spark (Sharing the spark!)
Illuminate time and space
Set all stars ablaze inside
Cruising through darkness and lies
It feels safe in the shrine of art
Dedicate heart, soul, and mind
A connection divine
Check-check it out – we’re This Burning Day
We’re killing it, burning, and rocking the stage
Emotional dealers?!
Yeah, you got it right, our rhythm is tight!
Our energy’s wild as we feed on your smiles!
Our style is chic – ain’t that making you sick?
The dance floor is shaking – it’s making you freak!
The heavy beat’s pumping – the right time for jumping
You’re feeling the groove and can’t stop but move,
So set your mind loose – there’s nothing to lose,
Now put your hands up, and let’s blow off the roof!
These are our ways (These are our ways!)
The sweetest salvation
Joy through creation
And sharing the spark (Sharing the spark!)
Illuminate time and space
Set all stars ablaze inside
Navigation through darkness
A brotherhood fused in light
Dedicate heart, soul, and mind
A unity through art
A unity through art
A connection divine
Feast on these sounds - they’re all meant for you!
Our gifts to you!
Our gifts to you!
Our gifts to you!

Here And Now

And what if we are thinking
Thinking more and more about tomorrow
Or just keep our heads turned back around
Dwelling in the yesterday
And what if we are too frail and undecided
To deal with our dreads
Face the obscurity that lies ahead
And what if we’re to weak and sentimental (And sentimental)
To stop turning over pages of a book, we’ve already read…
Here and now (Here and now)
All the choices that we make
Here and now (Here and now) – It’s all that we have
Here and now (Here and now)
Here and now!
Too much fear but much less time
Constantly trying not to fall behind
Rushing in a senseless hurry
Wrapped up in a needless worry
With eyes wide shut and careless hearts
It’s hard to feel the pulse of life
It’s time to cherish (It’s time to cherish!)
Every shared moment we are blessed with!
The people next to us have never been that far away
Our loved ones can't even tell if we care nowadays
It’s time to open eyes and hearts to what matters most!
Here and now (Here and now)
All the choices that I make
Here and now (Here and now) - It’s all that I have
Here and now (Here and now)
Here and now!
I take this vow
A vow to cherish all this time we are blessed with!

What Will We Do?
03:44
|

Consumption – our new religion!
Lack of empathy - our new feature!
No one’s lighting candles anymore in a world of flares
Lost we are to empty morals and false glares
New marketing preachers selling sugarcoated cheap blessings
To the hungry - craving for heaven, but headed straight for hell
How to return?
When there is no place to go back to…
(To return x2)
And how to stay? (How to stay?)
When there is nothing left…
Entangled in big schemes and grand affairs
Foolish pride and hollow fame
Suffocating is the sight of raging outrages
So many hands covered in blood - not taking the blame…
Fewer fighting for positive changes
Never-ending, ever-growing profit hunger…
Torn - beasts and men - asunder
Over and over again (Over and over again!)
How to return?
When there is no place to go back to…
(To return x2)
How to stay? (How to stay?)
When there is nothing left…
(How to stay? x3)
How to just leave, when there is nowhere else to go?
(There is no one left to go to)
How to just leave when there is nowhere left to go?
What will we do?
Now we’re stuck - modern slaves of decadent ages
We all ran out of sages
Our self-destructive minds – in cages
What will we write on our last pages?
Last chances - slipping through our fingers
What will we do?
There is nothing in this desert and no man needs nothing!

Here we go again!
Is it too late?
To turn the events
To make amends
Reverse the currents and stop the trends
We sail through space and witness time bend
Our pace has sped, but our footsteps fade
A line…
Between us
And choking desire
There’s no match to light my fire…
So why can’t you see the stars?
You may not conceive of a time when
We’ll live happily (And)
Every day and every night
Just know I’ll be there
My face in your eyes
Your face in mine…
And the image remains
Are those the same places
Where we held hands
A time of stolen kisses, promises kept
What’s that hidden beneath our hearts?
A hole, or something more?
We couldn’t deal with
What life has revealed
Put to the test,
We did our best
But failed…
The curtains are drawn back
A stage in flames
A final jump off the edge
Becoming one with all the stars…
Your smile!
It’s shooting stars!
And they’re burning for hours!
Such are my fantasies – of another time
Such are my memories – of me and you
Such are my fantasies – of a different time
Such are my memories – of me and you
My face in your eyes
Your face in mine…
(Such are my fantasies – of another time
Such are my memories – of me and you
Such are my fantasies – of another time
Such are my fantasies!)

Ghosts

How did we come to this?
A sole vessel offering comfort
White sails dancing in the wind
A shared dream - an endless horizon
We could’ve sailed even the merciless of seas
We’ve been to so many places
But now it’s all long gone!
A shipwreck is all that has remained now
Broken skulls and empty promises
Ghosts - they come mostly at night
But ever since you left, darkness filled my days
Ghosts are my only guests now – so unkind, never fleeing
Ghosts - my only guests now, never fleeing, not leaving me to rest
How did it come to this?
It’s all a distant memory now
How I long for that sweet sea water
How I crave for that cooling breeze
How many times have you sworn to me
Sworn to me and then betrayed me?
Once again, I try and try to understand
The riddles that you left me with
Unanswered questions fueled by doubt filling my head
Once again, I try to mitigate the pain
Caused by the lies you feed me with
I twist and bend
Pick up the pieces of what is left of me
A simple word will let the sunshine through
I can sense the light hidden underneath the darkness
Gathered inside of me
A shared truth will break these chains!
Only then I’ll hear the sirens
I will hear them sing
Then I’ll smell the water
I will feel the breeze
Only then the tides will take me to new shores and seas
Once again, I try and try to understand
The riddles that you left me with,
Unanswered questions fueled by doubt filling my head
Once again, I try to mitigate the pain
Caused by the lies you feed me with
I twist and bend
Pick up the pieces of what is left of…
Bring back the light!
Bring back the life!
Bring back the light!
Bring back the life!
I will carry the memory as I build my raft
Unafraid but knowing I will set sail
(Bring back, bring back the light, bring back the life!)
Letting go of the past
(Bring back, bring back the light, bring back the life!)
Bring back the light!

Snow!
Covering the world about
Brewing up a storm above
Silencing the empty shouts
Now!
Mother nature’s sacrifice
Sleep her children under snow
Covered by her breath of ice
And her eyes that despise
Is it the end?
Is it the time to make amends?
To sleep again
To descend
Under the ground
Turn back around
See all the pain
In vain the earth screams out loud!
Cover the world!
Cover the dirt!
Cover the sun!
The end has just begun
When will it fall and after all
Isn’t the snow the saving of our souls?
I can’t give you
I can't give you
Anything that is frittered away
Is it the end?
Is it the time to make amends?
To sleep again
To descend
Under the ground
Turn back around
See all the pain
In vain the earth screams out loud
Cover the world!
Cover the dirt!
Cover the sun!
The end has just begun
When will it fall, and after all
Isn’t the snow the saving of our souls?
With faces that freeze
And the snow to our knees
We see everything go down in flames...
We burned all these days
And we're caught in the fray
Of this halo of broken sunrays...
I can’t give you
I can't give you
Anything that is frittered away
Frozen memories
To stay empty-handed
Is a pathetic excuse to be free…
My fear is...
Is what I lost along the way... (x2)
I can’t give you
I can't give you
Anything that is frittered away
Frozen memories
To stay empty-handed (Empty-handed!)
Is a pathetic excuse to be free…

Kids Of Summer

Raise your head up
High! Way up in space
You know the sun will always shine
No matter above or below your feet
Up! Jump to the sound of crowds
Shouting out loud
To all the madness of youth
And the screaming shine
Of city lights and restless nights
Pick your feet up!
Remember all your secret
Dreams!
Lose yourself!
Deep down in all those cherished
Desires!
Listen!
We are the voice of the sea
Carried by the violent wind and
We are the shouts of the mountain
Rising up to touch the sun
We are, we're one and all
Running to the vast horizon
Our angry voices asking: (Our voices are asking!)
Where are the kids of summer? (x2)
Oh!
Come with me!
Dance with us!
Go!
You are the voice of the sea
You are the whisper of winds
You are in what you believe
So, stand beside us and
Fly to the sky!
Pick your feet up!
Remember all your secret
Dreams!
Lose yourself!
Deep down in all those cherished
Desires!
Go!
Breathe in!
Come!
Let's run together!
Jump!
Breathe out!
Come!
Let's reach the end of the
World! (x4)
We are the voice of the sea
Carried by the violent wind and
We are the shouts of the mountain
Rising up to touch the sun
We are, we're one and all
Running to the vast horizon
Our angry voices asking: (Our voices are asking!)
What have we done?
Is this the time to forget our past?
What have we done?
Don't erase her smile…
From your mind!
Don't erase those times...
From your heart!
Give me an answer! (Give me an answer!)
Where are the kids of summer?
Where is the voice of our youth?
We are the Kids of Summer! (x2)

This Is Our Time
04:58
|

Words are spoken...
Deeds are done...
This is our time!
I'll never admit that you know me
Your lapsus - faithful, your vision - unclear
The sandcastles you build before me
Are desert voices that no one can hear
A mind that's been reading its own life
A life that's been mindless throughout
The 'morrow you'll greet with a new dive
In knee-high-end waters of doubt
Every time we try to change things
With every breath we take
We make the future real
Ooooaaaah!
With tainted memories
The Nile flows on through history
Efforts beyond a victory
With broken legacies (With)
With tainted memories
The Nile still flows on anyway
Rome wasn't built in a single day
This is our time!
Done with all the hatred!
Let it come as no surprise!
I've watched as the pyramids rise
I won't sit out...
SO!
When we shrug off all the lies
Stigmatic wounds of our world reveal
A static cold inside
Believe in the will of the free!
Believe in me! (x3)
With broken legacies
With tainted memories
The Nile flows on through history
Efforts beyond a victory
With broken legacies (With!)
With tainted memories
The Nile still flows on anyway
Rome Wasn't built in a single day
Every time we try to change things
With every breath we take
We make the future real
And every step you take is leading nowhere
We just get knocked down (x2)
It’s in our hands! (x2)
Seek out - try hard!
This is our time! (x3)
THIS IS OUR TIME!

Responsible

After so much time,
And countless compromises
You made yourself clear
You don't give a shit about me
Blown away
Blown away by wild winds
The fires
Set off storms
Where thunders are growling
Black clouds collide deep down inside my head
I’m still waiting for the heavy rain to come
And wash away
The tears, the shame, the blame
That almost drove me insane
Do you still believe it’s just a game?
The summer’s long gone
And the autumn’s far from over
These are the words I wrote before the leaves wither
Along with my loving heart that I first gave to you
Oh, how I trusted you!
The surface of my heart is intact but there’s no beat
If I’m alive how come I'm not breathing
There's a hole in my soul
I feel nothing at all…
You’ve played your part so well
Such a brilliant deceit
Just another fool in your way,
And I am to blame for
Letting you in to tear me away…
After so much time (So much time!)
And countless compromises (Compromises!)
You made yourself clear
You don't give a shit about me
After so much time
And countless compromises
You made yourself clear
You don't give a shit about me
So once again I’m still waiting for the heavy rain to come
And wash away (Wash away!)
The tears, the shame, the blame
As I promised to myself
I won’t let this be in vain!
It won't be in vain!
The surface of my heart is intact but there’s no beat
If I’m alive how come I’m not breathing?
There's a hole in my soul
I feel nothing at all…
You’ve played your part so well
Such a brilliant deceit
Just another fool in your way
And I am to blame for
Letting you in to tear me away…
After so much time
And countless compromises
You made yourself clear
After so much time
And countless compromises
You made yourself clear
You don’t give a shit about me!
I should’ve known it right from the start
How do you patch a broken heart?
It's too late now!
The damage is done!
It all ended in flames how it began!
This time I’m the one burning alone and you’re dead cold!
This time I hold myself responsible! (x2)

Never Say Goodbye
05:40
|

Our fable with no moral has reached
Up to the point where a new one begins
I run and hide...
I need to survive!
I, I am an opened wound
I am the suffering
That your shadow left behind
I am the tears that flow
That scar my bled-out face
I am dead empty space
At least your shadow should’ve stayed
When you left
I’ve been hoping that I will find you
I’ll find you tomorrow (Tomorrow)
I’ve tried not to dwell in this burrow
Sucked in by yesterday…
This is an empty grave
My heart is out for you (Is out for you)
Still, I can’t feel it beat
Left with my final words
The ones you never heard
I’ve been hoping that I will find you,
I will find you tomorrow (Tomorrow)
I’ve tried not to dwell in this burrow
Sucked in by yesterday
Never said goodbye
Never gave it last try
A distant voice still echoes in my head
Never said goodbye
At least your shadow should’ve stayed
This memory never fades away…
Crossroads of sorrow
Pyramids of solitude
Black stars (Black stars) in a blinded night
Ruins turned to sand
Extinguished fires
Trapped in ice
A deafening silence
Behold this wasteland
Shattered…
A wound patched world
Haunted by memories that burn
I’ve been hoping that I will find you
I will find you tomorrow (Tomorrow)
I’ve tried not to dwell in this burrow
I’ve been hoping that I... (x2)
If I find you tomorrow
What would you say?
If we try and live another life
If we never ever say goodbye…
