Our Ways 04:14
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 03:16
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!

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!

Maybe 03:51
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 04:25
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…

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)

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!

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)

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…
