Trail of Tears

Take me away Into illusion Take me away From the rain Wounded but not yet fallen Still caving in The marks from the dance with the devil Still healing Shallow but not yet empty Cries left alone The marks from a life lived in vain Still sore Take me away Tak...

The time has come to realise The time has come to face it Into the void You tremble as you fall Into the void You face it Still you fear me for purest reasons Still you tremble 'cause vengeance still remains my call You tried to attract me to the void And fa...

Lightly walking on clouds on a sunny day. Doesn't feel any pain 'cause it's gone with the rain. Prepare the lifetime seekers, hidden in our past. Prepare the new sensation, that will leave us high. The wall around my heart's been defeated by you. You haunted...

Cross my bridge of thoughts, in order to explore. Confront the lost intentions, in order to behold the multitude of anguish that dwell inside of me. Just turn your head this way and hopefully you'll see. Break your wall and make yourself see, what's behind is...

Take me to your secret place Reveal all hidden tears that fell Along the way Open up, show me you face Behind that mask of stone you made It's time to change [Chorus:] We cherish what we built and buried what was lost We said our goodbyes to the ones we loved...

Winter! The hatred rises in the cold The way it sharpens all my senses Will enable me to fill the void All your countless and weak attempts denied You run with new-fed terror Pale as you kiss damnation Pale because of your failure Hurt where it hurts the most...

Deeply sown and never known The mirror bleeds the truth Deeply sown and never known Your presence is fading As I fill my glass and watch my own reflection then I know that I'll be gone As I raise my hand, try to comprehend what I've been missing, I feel distr...

Time to stand tall, it's all so Clear, the story ends right here Where shall I go, I feel alone And the silence breaks my heart Nothing seems to make me smile With this burden I'll go down I feel no hope, I see no signs Is there a reason... Why, why...

Infinite oblivion... beyond all words and thoughts Desires sent to sleep, to the dawn of knowledge comes A dismal gleam in their frozen eyes, gathering of the beloved ones Bleeding portraits on velvet walls Serene divinity passing on Hiding are the deceitful...

Victimized, indulge in the lies To have no control is the way of the blind Comatized, the trance in their eyes A demise of souls, for them to live is to hide You used to be one of them for a while Helplessly you crawled and obeyed as the lies unfolded Opened...

As the wind sweeps my mind in bewildered movements my shattered thoughts begin to gather I remember when you came to me I kissed the "sacred"ground where you had gone You tricked me with your story I was bound by the beauty of it all Blinded by faith I want...

I could be wrong... I could be gone... Who are you to call yourself a friend of mine When you choose to ignore all the signs When even enemies turned and stuck out their hands You decided against and burned your last chance Why did it have to take this long...

Like Orroro in the garden she came to me to set my burden free Cold I lay in the autumn night like a phoenix flying high she led my way On wings that shine like a thousand stars Orroro's song, so sweet so long Soft as velvet, the softest skin A touch of truth...

Do you know how it feels to be standing Alone, with the weight of the world Pressing down on you hard. On chance to choke the pain gained, By the things that you say, by The games that you play. From this moment I stand amazed, the Question still remains. How...

You'll see me wander through the haunted Hallways, you'll see me running on the Trail of ghost, for I have been adapting To a grave philosophy, something Precious to deny us both You'll see me spitting in the face of Yesterday, you'll see me slit the pulse Of...

I've got something to tell you Oh, please believe me, I have Nothing to offer you, Do you See what I mean you're on The path of destruction It is over now I have no fears, no more Fears, no more love I can't feel anything anymore I won't go with you, on that...

Hear the madman scream As the pain whistles within See the madman's face As he understands From the left to the right to the front Only to remain at point zero From the depths of perversion He watches as time draws near Hear the madman scream As the pain whi...

It is not how you think it is. Believe in me. No, strangled yet released. Of all your victims, you had to choose me. You stole my glow, you stole my all... But turn your back once more and you'll regret it forevermore. They are the victims, not you. That's...

Listen up here is the story about Me, seducing your mind. Let me have you, let me please you, Let me bring to the deepest of desires, Until you scream out loud. Bring it on, I'm your own temptress, Use me and take me high. The the room starts to spin around Y...

[K.R. Hagen, Hansen, Thorsen, Nordhus. Lyrics: Thorsen, Nordhus] The shades of yesterday Decayed by maturity and these enchanting thoughts are victims of myself [Chorus:] Set your sails Head towards your faith All forbidden fruit tastes better than the seeds...

Which pleasures await me in the chambers of lust? Will you grant me redemption for my feelings so cold and unpure? I thought you'd never reach me but you're here by my side I'm ready to be enlightened I'm ready to join and to measure the pulse of your pulsati...

[Perez, Thorsen, Nordhus. Lyrics: Nordhus] Heading out in cold frustration on yet another route To chase your destination always ready to pursue Forced into the corner you spill your fluids to the floor As another filthy needle has pierced through once more...

Climb within me, read my satisfaction because it is the strongest of sins that makes me what I am. Live through me, feel my satisfaction because you see, it is me who make them what they are. Leave me now, an innocent soul Wanna get out of your grip. Look up...

If I will live to see the new dawning May the fear let go of me soon I will reach out for a brand new morning And release a final breath of youth Ride the fear, ride the hatred Deshined to bring you lifetimes Of bitter fears, as the motives Slowly deteriorate...

As you approach me you want to compromise. (beyond) You wish me dearly to surrender to the lies. (beyond) I praise the symbols of your deepest misery rather than to live by your random theory. (Beyond I fall, I feel the cold) I will prevail, relentlessly (bey...

It all became history Rose from dark so graceful But nothing here is what it seems It is out of control and disaster unfolds Voice your ignorance I am built to take it Sweet your prejudice I was born to make it Spread your lies all across the world I watch it...

[Hansen, Thorsen, Nordhus. Lyrics: Thorsen, Nordhus] My time to give in There's nowhere else to hide My time to swallow remaining drops of pride [Bridge:] How many tears have stained this soil? How many souls have vanished? I could have sworn I saw you passi...

One more time and then it's over Cause I found myself in peace and Now I am moving on Still I love the years that I gave my Passion and soul to you, but Now I need to speak the truth Without the sense or feeling to be enlightened Have you forgotten all we had...
