Your Ruin, My Relief
Verse 1:
Caging myself beyond all reason
Witnessing the madness within
I am prisoner and jail guard
I'm virus and infected
Merging it all I am left a nervous wreck
Losing focus and losing track
Who's still preventing escape I cry
Finally perceiving my tears' reflection
Pre-chorus 1:
Shattering the mirror
This impostor made of glass
I realize my foolishness
And how this all could ever last
Verse 2:
Trading my love for mercy
My self-respect for surrender
Accepting my emotional suicide
Dead inside I crave for salvation
Crave for this hell to end
All that's left is to let you feel
We're done
Pre-chorus 2:
Shattering the mirror
This impostor made of glass
I realize my foolishness
And how this all could ever last
Chorus:
Turning my back on you
I return the hell you put me through
Now these days will end
The days you mauled my feeding hand
Bridge:
Your Ruin, My Relief!
Your Ruin, My Relief!
Release me now!
Lead: Schafberger
Chorus:
Turning my back on you
I return the hell you put me through
Now these days will end
The days you mauled my feeding hand

Breathing The Soil
Verse 1:
Scattered memories on a dusted shelf
Exhibited obviously only
To make sure that your so-called experience of life
Is displayed for people’s envy
This is all your life can offer
For I know these feet never hurt like mine
But it makes me release all the pain from within
A shape where I’m free of fear and sin
Pre-chorus 1:
In search for snowfields and oases
And all that’s in between
Verse 2:
Perambulate all known terra firma
From Ayer’s Rock to Cheop’s Lair
Wash of the sand in Amazon River
And desiccate in the Valley Of Death
All the things I need to be
Can’t be grabbed by mortal hands
They are locked so deep within my soul
Never to be taken away from me
Chorus:
I follow my heart to take me home
Just to leave again and continue to roam
Verse 3:
Time after time I come back to the place
Where I once left and I will leave again
For I will not rest till I know
What made me choose this path
Nothing compares to learn the beauty of it all by yourself
Chorus:
I follow my heart to take me home
Just to leave again and continue to roam
Leads: Schafberger/Kötterl/Schafberger/Kötterl
Pre-chorus 2:
Still searching snowfields and oases
And all that’s in between
Chorus:
I follow my heart to take me home
Just to leave again and continue to roam

Behold A Burning Soul
Verse 1:
Turning back is out of hand
With all I dread unleashed
These thought are eating me up from within
As teaching my tongue to teach you
Chorus:
Could you ever understand me on the inside
Where all the wishes grow
Could you ever understand and have some insight
To where all the fear takes hold
Verse 2:
Counting my steps on this burning ground
The way back overgrown with thorns
With the ghost of a chance and shivering hands
I pass the point of no return
Chorus:
Could you ever understand me on the inside
Where all the wishes grow
Could you ever understand and have some insight
To where all the fear takes hold
Leads: Schafberger/Kötterl
Chorus:
Could you ever understand me on the inside
Where all the wishes grow
Could you ever understand and have some insight
To where all the fear takes hold
Behold A Burning Soul
Behold my burning soul

In The Wake Of My Demise
Verse 1:
Surrounded by fingers pointing
At the futility of my life
I feel so unwelcome
For my demise they strive
Suffering this self-loathing
I start to tie my own noose
The coin gets flipped another time
Heads – you win, Tails – I lose
Verse 2:
Paranoia is the next step on my way
To a state where all I feel
Are the eyes burning holes into my back
The night of the unspoken rules
I will take my soul and flee
And leave them my body to feast on
I will leave them my heart to devour
Pre-chorus:
In The Wake Of My Demise the world rebuilds itself
Wipe me off the surface and the world rebuilds itself
Chorus:
Watching angels die
I remember why
Why the stars can’t lead me home
Alone I stray
Towards old Gaia’s end
For all my sorrow
Will soon be safe
In her hands
Bridge:
Still this road is long and winding
My path won’t seem to end
But turning back I will face lies
Nothing but lies!
Lead: Kötterl
Verse 3:
Surrounded by fingers pointing
At the futility that I bear
I feel so unwelcome
Why would they even care
Suffering this self-loathing
I just did not want to be used
The coin gets flipped this one last time
Heads – I win, Tails – you lose
Chorus:
Watching angels die
I remember why
Why the stars can’t lead me home
Alone I stray
Towards old Gaia’s end
For all my sorrow
Will soon be safe
In her hands
