Veracity
Verse 1:
A black box full of heart-shaped pieces of paper
Is all that's left from you
Wretched remains of irreplaceable time
Deliberately thrown away
The dead heart inside me screams for ressurection
Revive it one more time
I want my wintersun to shine again
Chorus:
New thoughts of failure rising
I kill the old ones every once in a while
I searched for love and security
But in the end I soon lost it all
Everything...
Left to cry alone in hate and pain
Verse 2:
Deep inside me this selfishness kept breeding
For far too long
But still it's just not fair
To hear myself scream "Noone else!"
Now I wrapped this shell around me
But I still will mourn for
More than a year of everything I needed
How can this year already be gone
Bridge:
Even meeting my dead end
There is nothing I repent
I must accept my sun has now set
But still there's nothing I regret
Apart from the end
I'm dying now
Chorus:
These thoughts of failure raising
I can't prevent myself from bleeding again
This search for love and security
will finally end in pain and misery
Everything is lost
Left to die alone in hate and pain
Lead: Kötterl

Grey The Fire That Still Burns In Our Eyes
Verse 1:
Though nothing's changing
We still search for something to harness
Into the deepest cavern
Our dead bird's songs never rest
Chorus:
Grey The Fire That Still Burns In Our Eyes
Ashes from the pyre
Imprisoned but who denies
Lead: Schafberger
Verse 2:
As we were solemn
Our incubator nurished our content
Now lying broken
Woefully we pay the eternal debt
Chorus:
Grey The Fire That Still Burns In Our Eyes
Ashes from the pyre
Imprisoned but who denies
Bridge:
And we were dancing...
Oh you flames you dark ones in my hell
I open wide...
And pour the bitterness of life within
Chorus:
Grey The Fire That Still Burns In Our Eyes
Ashes from the pyre
Imprisoned but who denies
Grey The Fire That Still Burns In Our Eyes

Dynasty Without A Future
Verse 1:
Staring on my riven devoided self
I realise I'm still a slave
Louring on this shattered state
I let the sun blind my eyes once again
Prechorus:
And I never ask why
Because I already know the answer
Chorus:
Before you take one last breath
Another breath of fresh air
You know your strength has left you
Was it really worth the share
Verse 2:
But something's missing where's your dignity
I find new chains everytime I bleed
They rip my skin defile my flesh
Almost as your feeble embrace
The border is the bone
I'm abandonend by the sun's afforded effort to give me warmth
But soon I realise
That light has never shone
Lead: Haimerl
Chorus:
Before you take one last breath
Another breath of fresh air
You know your strength has left you
Was it really worth the share
Now listen my child noone escapes
Not even well-off maggots like you
We die the same diseases
Now tell me what's your share

I, My Demon, His Wrath
Verse 1:
When was the last time I slept?
I don't know
It seems this time
I'm crawling on the bones
Prechorus:
This boat's fate is to break swift
And sink asunder
And this time there's just no rock
To crawl under
Lead: Schafberger
Verse 2:
It's this distinct rage
Engulfed by fear
This monument of pain I want to sear
His direful screams
Rend fissures in my ears
Inner clocks are ticking
Loudly for a tear
Prechorus:
Emotional strain slithers merciless
My deceiver my eyes of glass
Chorus:
No I don't need your amend
I don't depend on you
Please tell me you're the end
I don't require aid
I'm not a part of you
I'm only suffering the truth
The circle that we run
Forever in despair
Subsconciousness his lair
I conflict this disease
Conflict his disease
He cannot be seized
Lead: Kötterl
Verse 3:
I reach out for myself
Hoping his grasp will become weak
As I gaze upon my arms
I see he's the one I seek
Prechorus:
Now I perceive that my mind is distinct
Shall I give in or follow my instinct
Chorus:
No I don't need your amend
I don't depend on you
Please tell me you're the end
I don't require aid
I'm not a part of you
I'm only suffering the truth
The circle that we run
Forever in despair
Subsconciousness his lair
I conflict this disease
Conflict his disease
He cannot be seized

Bleeding Forevermore
Verse 1:
I become aware of all these lies
Life is to blame for
Dirges always turn into futile cries
As I'm Bleeding Forevermore
Prechorus:
Nothing to see which could comfort me
Not even my remaining pride could win this bitterly cold fight
Verse 2:
Whensoever one anguish is over
The next begins
But which much more intensity
And one way less to flee
Prechorus:
Dirges still turn into futile cries
As I am Bleeding Forevermore
Chorus:
One step closer to edge of insanity
I joggle my prison bars with might and maim
I wonder if I will ever find the belonging key
And if I'll ever escape this mental chain
Lead: Schafberger
Verse 3:
Finally I try to continue and I succeed
For I begin to adore every sorrow
Now I resolve to heed
That this won't change tomorrow
Prechorus:
Dirges still turn into futile cries
As I am Bleeding Forevermore
Chorus:
One step closer to edge of insanity
I joggle my prison bars with might and maim
I wonder if I will ever find the belonging key
And if I'll ever escape this mental chain

Beloved Sanctuary
Verse 1:
Shouting that I serve you not
I torn you from your sleep
I hold your hand in dismay
Assuaging your desperate sight
We stare at the hills below
Into the azure of tonight
A crimson flash shoots through my eyes
And from within my demon cries
Chorus:
My burden is to shelter you
I preach to you to apprehend
That every teardrop on your face
Is not self-evident
Now my fulfillment is achieved
I seize the day
You have lost all that you believed
My Beloved Sanctuary
Verse 2:
You grasp my hand we run away
Black clouds shape in the sky
The filthy blackness of your soul
And the sable in your eyes
Now tell me what you really need
Is it your precious god
Not even he bestows you heed
Open your eyes to see the fraud
Bridge:
Run faster run faster
I scream as you cry
Impostor impostor
I shout into the sky
Chorus:
My burden is to shelter you
I preach to you to apprehend
That every teardrop on your face
Is not self-evident
Now my fulfillment is achieved
I seize the day
I remember how you were called
My Beloved Sanctuary
Leads: Schafberger & Kötterl
Bridge:
Run faster run faster
I scream as you cry
Impostor impostor
I shout into the sky
Run faster run faster
I scream as you cry
Impostor impostor
I shout into the sky
Chorus:
My burden is to shelter you
I preach to you to apprehend
That every teardrop on your face
Is not self-evident
Now my fulfillment is achieved
I seize the day
You have lost all that you believed
My Beloved Sanctuary

Of Father And Son
Verse 1:
Look right into my eyes
Watch the blind man lock his soul
It's the silence I despise
Leaving a heart with one more hole
Look right into these eyes
Can you see the king of lies
Shutting up where he should speak
Where's the moment I still seek for
Prechorus:
Read my thoughts
And find your own
Chorus:
Shall we persist
In remaining silent
Oh father tell me
After all these years of irrelevance
Speak to me
Verse 2:
When you descended to what we are
To all the things that we've done wrong
To what we could have done so far
I held your hand as I wished to all along
The moment we broke the ice
Death started freezing it again
These few words just were not enough
To take this everlasting pain away
Prechorus:
You red my thoughts
And found your own
Chorus:
We did not persist
In remaining silent
Oh how I miss you
After all these years of blindness
You made me see

The Endless March
-January 1942-
Today I found my dearest friend ... dead
The face of an aged and tired man
His thighs shot through by a tank
He slowly and painfully bled to death
While I covered his still warm stomach
With my frozen fingers
I finally and absolutely realised
That this raging war is nothing but insanity
I write these words with tears in my eyes
As for now I know
They could be the last I leave to this cursed world
We failed to see through the web of lies
We failed to understand that there is nothing glorious about war
And now we have to pay...
Verse 1:
Back then when things all fell into place
We got intoxicated by war's shady embrace
For the welfare of our reich
We took victory for granted
Just as we were told
Years went by and by now we are in doubt
In doubt of our charge across the lands
The dying we wittnessed can't be of avail
For anyone
Prechorus:
The clock of war will prove
That hope is but in vain
Obliterated youth
How shall we bear up all the pain
Chorus:
We've marched on as the ones who still believed
Before our minds perceived
The downfall's closing in on us and
One by one will the sun set down on us
Our memories to dust
Our farewell though'll be sung forevermore
Verse 2:
This war is a shortcut to the absolute demise
It's all unfolding before our dying eyes
The death of millions of fathers
The death of millions of sons
No longer I care soon all will be gone
Yet forced to still march on
Chorus:
We've marched on as the ones who still believed
Before our minds perceived
The downfall's closing in on us and
One by one will the sun set down on us
Our memories to dust
Our farewell though'll be sung forevermore
Leads: Kötterl & Schafberger
Chorus:
One by one will the sun set down on us
Our memories to dust
Our farewell though'll be sung forevermore
One by one will the sun set down on us
Our memories to dust
Our farewell though'll be sung forevermore
One by one will the sun set down on us
Our memories to dust
Our farewell though'll be sung forevermore
One by one will the sun set down on us
Our memories to dust
Our farewell though'll be sung forevermore
For our cause we sacrificed
For the cause we sacrificed
For a cause we sacrificed
For which cause we sacrificed
For nothing we did sacrifice ourselves
