Demons Within 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Demons Within! The sun don't shine down here at the bottom So I reach for the surface I try to swim but my lungs fill with water And I sink like an anchor The voice inside it keeps dragging me down But I won't let it win They'll never break me I won't surrender To all of the demons dwelling inside No I will fight them tooth and nail 'til the death But sometimes my mind is my worst enemy Demons Within! Demons Within! The clouds above me they keep getting darker And they follow me everywhere The stories that I have made up in my head They are a hundred times worse than reality could ever be The voice inside it keeps dragging me down But I won't let it win They'll never break me I won't surrender To all of the demons dwelling inside No I will fight them tooth and nail 'til the death But sometimes my mind is my worst enemy The voice inside it keeps dragging me down The voice inside it keeps dragging me down But I can't let it win They'll never break me I won't surrender To all of the demons dwelling inside No I will fight them tooth and nail 'til the death But sometimes my mind is my worst enemy They'll never break me I won't surrender To all of the demons dwelling inside No I will fight them tooth and nail 'til the death And at the end I will conquer the demons within Demons Within!

Matriarch 03:11
lyrics
buy track
I was only a boy when I learned To adapt to the darkness The cold and the rain You looked away as you watched me fall And I never got rid of the pain I could tear down a mountain With only my bare hands But I could not drain the ocean between us Still I would do anything If you could be proud of me So why did you cut me out from your heart? I reach out for your helping hand But your fingers were always so cold to the touch Carve your name into my skin for your approval But it was never enough I could tear down a mountain With only my bare hands But I could not drain the ocean between us Still I would do anything If you could be proud of me So why did you cut me out from your heart? I’d carve your name on my skin Just to show you that I’m good enough I’d tear my heart from my chest If only you could have loved me more Mother, why have you forsaken me? Matriarch, you cut me off. Mother, why have you forsaken me? Matriarch, you cut me off. I could tear down a mountain With only my bare hands But I could not drain the ocean between us Still I would do anything If you could be proud of me So why did you cut me out from your heart? I’d carve your name on my skin Just to show you that I’m good enough I’d tear my heart from my chest If only you could have loved me more I have laid you to rest And there’s no use to dwell on the past I can’t forgive, won’t forget I won’t forget that you abandoned me

There Is Nothing // All Is Void 04:56
lyrics
buy track
I've been contemplating my existence Will I become a hero or a victim? In a universe that doesn't really care Cause I've been feeling like it's out of reach Separated by a wall that we can't breach But on our island in the darkness we are kings We're living in a world of hate We cry over our outcast state As we look upon ourselves and curse our fate A silent whisper A distant echo Is there really nothing? There are no gods above us There is no higher purpose We're nothing but a beautiful mistake Our lives are a prison But we made it ourselves An island in the darkness we'll remain So I ask myself, what are we living for? We, we turn to heaven but to no avail It's like we're searching for a holy grail But it was never even there And if 60.000 stars disappear within a second It's only a matter of time before we're gone forever A silent whisper A distant echo Is there really nothing? There are no gods above us There is no higher purpose We're nothing but a beautiful mistake Our lives are a prison But it's one that we have made ourselves An island in the darkness we'll remain So ask yourselves, what are we living for? I travelled galaxies and time To find a different form of life But at the edge of the void At the heart of it all there was nothing Are we the first to exist or the last ones to die? There is nothing All is void There are no gods above us There is no higher purpose An island in the darkness There are no gods above us There is no higher purpose We're nothing but a beautiful mistake Our lives are a prison But we made it ourselves An island in the darkness we'll remain There are no gods above us There is no higher purpose We're nothing but a beautiful mistake Our lives are a prison But it's one that we have made ourselves An island in the darkness we'll remain So ask yourselves What the fuck are we living for?

Broken Crown 03:52
lyrics
buy track
They stood in silence My words echoed the great halls Their faces revealed My tales of triumph were only imaginary They were not real Look at this kingdom of mine All that I've accomplished It was nothing Just a castle in the sky Remove the crown from my head Take it off me Reveal the freak beneath The freak beneath I wear a mask of many faces But not a single one of them my own (Not my own) Behold the great pretender And bow before his mediocrity A broken crown upon my head The dream is already dead A broken crown upon my head So out of touch with myself A broken crown The sky has already blackened And the rivers have gone dry The walls of my fortress finally caved in It lies in ruins Look at this kingdom of mine All that I've accomplished It was nothing, nothing I wear a mask of many faces But not a single one of them my own (Not my own) Behold the great pretender And bow before his mediocrity A broken crown upon my head I wear a mask of many faces But not a single one of them my own (Not my own) Behold the great pretender And bow before his mediocrity A broken crown upon my head The dream is already dead A broken crown upon my head So out of touch with myself I wear a broken crown

The Depths 04:23
lyrics
buy track
Undercurrents from the deep Pulling me towards the inner circle I can feel their weight Dragging me below Always try to keep my head up high as sunshine turns to rain But I can't run from my minds hurricane Sold myself a broken dream Learn to live in agony Nothing can save me From myself There's no escape from the depths within I'm going under I drown in the darkness But I've come to like the view from the bottom I see clearly in the dark Clearly in the dark Drawn to an elusive light Forever I will try my best to reach it But the darkness is overwhelming I shall remain here in the deep Nothing can save me From myself There's no escape from the depths within I'm going under I drown in the darkness But I've come to like the view from the bottom I see clearly in the dark Sold myself a broken dream But I will try to learn To live in agony Fathoms beneath I will dwell until the end of my days In the depths I disappear without a trace Nothing can save me From myself There's no escape from the depths within I'm going under I drown in the darkness But I've come to like the view from the bottom I see clearly in the dark Clearly in the dark Nothing can save me From myself There's no escape from the depths within
