Fear is awake In your bones and in your worn-out face Leaving traces In every thought you bear The fear is awake A little spark inside your mind Leaving traces On your carved out ways One day we will fall To fill the frozen ground The last one's horse is pale It’s written down like that We fall We fail Everything we do Is made of doom Just like humans do It’s down in your eyes The endless trails to nothingness Sooner or later We all are going to die Fear is awake The sadness of the universe The end of days Where sick and dead unite

The Whispers 04:22
These times are changing at the speed of light Tell we where to run where to sleep tonight Always changing at the speed of light It’s you Always playing hard as hard as it gets The iron curtain of the soviets Down the boulevard with your head up high It’s you Wind keeps blowing down the same old street Drinkers keep drinking it is all that they need Down the boulevard with your head down low It’s you I beg you to come down tonight Feel your head feels twice it’s size I beg you to come down I beg you to come down Looking out for true love In a world that has lost it’s heart Don’t know when this will end Feel it didn’t even start Time ticking like a bomb A tooth for a tooth An eye for an eye Keep the pace until you die In the depths of your eyes There’s been heartache and pain And a wornout dream That collides In the depths of your eyes

Wait, true love don‘t wait But it kills in silence Wait, true hope don‘t wait But it drowns in silence Washing our hearts in the rain Drying our tears in the sun Washing our hearts in the rain And run There was a time I was desperate There was a time I was sad Wait, true sadness don‘t wait But it kills in silence Washing our hearts in the rain Drying our tears in the sun Washing our hearts in the rain And run Big show Waiting for the big show Like the count to montechristo I will dig in this dirt on my knees 'til I find this rough diamond You believe you saw in me Washing our hearts in the rain Drying our tears in the sun Washing our hearts in the rain And run

Vanishing 04:57
Some say into darkness Into darkness we were born Some say into sadness Real sadness we are torn There is a little black spot on your face Where the sun never shines There is a little black spot on your heart Where the sun never shines And never will Life is a long time coming You’ll never be happy again It’s a long time coming Never be happy, never be happy again Until the end of the candle Until the end

Something better change For worse So all of us could see We will never change Something better change I don’t remember Anything Worth to remember Staring at machines Made to remember Anything Stolen from our dreams Something better change Crumbles through my hands Tumbles through dystopic lands Something better change Down in the valley of doubt Must be something you love I want you to forget I want you to destroy So you’ll find something new In the ruins of your choice Something better change For I am bored like hell I want you to forget So we’ll find something new
6.
All the leaves are falling down Tumbling, tumbling, tumbling around A wind is coming to take them home Drying every leave like flesh and bone Come on if you wanna dance dance with me Come on if you wanna cry cry with me Seven little tears till the leaves are down Seven dirty years till I wear the crown of thorns Seven tiny tears till the leaves are down Trembling in your eyes for I wear the crown of thorns Here come the prince of the desperate line Save your little heart pull it close tonight Sign your name on the boulevard Of broken dreams Driving home for nothing Dark as the sea Black light in a starless sky Shines for you and me Dark as the sun
7.
Down on desolation row Where all your dreams are burning down low All you are is a bottle full of snow Here comes the sun I will love like fire I will love like fire Tomorrow’s love like fire I will love Burn the rest of your oath in a can Clap the beat with your bones you’re the man Dance with the sons of hollow Kiss the sisters of pain With a heart so full of sorrow On a bridge to the insane I will love like fire I will love like fire Tomorrow’s love like fire I will love So dark Dance with the sons of hollow Kiss the sisters of pain With a heart so full of sorrow On a bridge to the insane Our darkness reigns
8.
And then there was you Did I dream when you were here? I don't know. I was too focused on the daylight hours I never wanted to sleep... ...in those days, now here I am again never wanting to dream And when I lost you, did I dream that you were here? I don't recall Not until I will find you, Not until you're back, Not until we are in the good place again I can't shake the feeling of death in your eyes, the death of love and laughter between you and I Like the day before, like the life that we once lived and I just loved you more.

Heartbeat - raw meat Empty bottles on the floor Heartbeat - no sea Is as dark as love This town lies empty under wings Of despair and drunken midnight sings Mama said son be aware when darkness calls you Cause it always calls you before it kills Mama said son of autumn when darkness calls you When it calls you give up the ghost Heartbeat - black seed Have a drink on those left before Heartbeat - electricity Feel empty bored and sore This town lies empty under wings Of despair and drunken midnight sings Every star has billions and billions of stars upon it And every sun Has billions and billions and billions of suns that burn it Mama said son be aware when darkness calls you Cause it always calls you before it kills Mama said son of autumn when darkness calls you When it calls you give up the ghost
