From the depths of my soul Someone’s yelling while I'm breaking apart I was begging them to understand my heart Shedding tears of my denial While I couldn’t get that I'm not enough So I fed the angel of theirs And forgot about mine From the depths of my soul Someone’s yelling while I’m breaking apart I’m not the Angel you take me for Just recognize what I’m not and let me take my path I’m not the Angel you take me for I don't give a fuck about their pretty decent angel I’ve got no wings, I’ve got the voice The choice that I'm breathing is only mine I will give up the angel of theirs And start feeding that mine From the depths of my soul Someone’s yelling while I’m breaking apart I’m not the Angel you take me for Just recognize what I’m not and let me take my path I’m not the Angel you take me for Got the voice but not a chance No one ever hears the silence Crying out but no one cares Fantasize that I won’t be there Would you build a wall in front of you To cover up the stars that you were made to touch? God sends the bodies with sparks in their gifted blood Conscious bodies filled with the promise of a better day Don’t throw your gift away Underrated children without a chance to speak Where do we live? Dreamless parents chasing their past within the blood they’ve made Don’t throw your gift away Oh my god From the depths of my soul Someone’s yelling while I’m breaking apart I’m not the Angel you take me for Just recognize what I’m not and let me take my path I’m not the Angel you take me for
2.	Let The Water Rise 03:17	lyrics	buy track
Did they melt the ice to quench their thirst For the ecocide they’re willing to produce? Let's exhaust our finite types of resources We’re at the top of the food chain so what? Serve us the atmosphere which we will turn to greenhouse form Don't judge the gods, for what the human voices wish for Let the water rise above Houses that were to be homes Do not care that’s all they’ve got Water rises they are not We would rather grow some gills, than flow with your selfless stream Nothing means more to us than ourselves, but this is the line we won’t cross We won’t leave our comfort zone Let the water rise above Houses that were to be homes Do not care that’s all they’ve got Water rises they are not Some may realize that earth is not granted Other will just wait and try their luck Do not let our world become one big fucking sea Let the water rise above Houses that were to be homes Do not care that’s all they’ve got Water rises they are not
3.	Below 03:21	lyrics	buy track
For the first time in my life I had to use the ink and quill, ironic is that I felt proud of myself to be part of something that will kill Dear diary, we have arrived. This place feels like a wicked twin of what it could be when we’re the same. God’s angels are not coming here but we’re the sacred blade… …that dulls with every move we try to make. We’ve been told sacred things won’t let us down Time is ticking slower, as I’m falling on my knees Reimagine the moment when someone’s heart runs out of beats. Dear diary, I saw Death dragging bodies to her rotten womb one by one. She showed me a man that made them bleed. I’ll drag him to her knees to seal the deal Bullet from my gun went through his head, anger turned to feeling closer to regret - what I’ve done? Is this something that I wished to be? His final day now lives with me. Time is ticking slower, as I’m falling on my knees Reimagine the moment when someone’s heart runs out of beats. Life made a hurtful leave from your eyes It will not come back A tear made by the final beat of your heart now lives in my chest Time is ticking slower, as I’m falling on my knees Reimagine the moment when someone’s heart runs out of beats. Now I see it doesn't make sense. Fuck.

Don't let me shy away, bring peace upon thy souls. I am not trying to be careful no more All my people sing to their own gods Don't let me shy away, I'm out of control Like a change in the wind That let's me fly again When the world falls apart It makes me feel the pain Like a change in the wind That let's me fly again Woaaaaaah Makes me feel again See the birds in devastation, Got nothing more to pray. And every single day, I see the world decay, what a shame. FUCK! D-E-A-D B-I-R-D We're gonna kill them again and again D-E-A-D B-I-R-D I'll cut the rope, to break me free Like a change in the wind That let's me fly again When the world falls apart It makes me feel the pain Like a change in the wind That let's me fly again Woaaaaaah Makes me feel again All my life I've kneeled before them With nowhere else to turn All my life I'm sick of this Oh my, let them burn All my life I'm begging them To never let them sin All my life I'm telling them They'll fucking rot, with all that they've got. Make me lose my mind again I'll tear it all apart To drain all their blood That will set me free Should I break the chains again? I whisper, not in vain To shatter this place That was made for me Turn your fucking back I will cover you in wrath I will never forgive that you raised me Like a change in the wind That let's me fly again Woaaaaaah It makes me feel again Like a change in the wind That let's me fly again When the world falls apart Makes me feel the pain Like a change in the wind That let's me fly again Woaaaaaah Makes me feel again
5.	Paradise 03:57	lyrics	buy track
When you face a mirror are you lost in yourself Lack the will to live another day and pay to be hopeless Do you even realize there's plenty of ways And no one who can change your fucking mind Everybody wants to be a part of a paradise Frightened they are looking every deathless way But no one can remember what is the entry price With every step they realize that they don't want to die Everyone is capable of dying No one was born to live forever There's a meaning to be sold to blackness Without the sense in your mind You will live alone but won't feel nothing Until you meet the paradise You will feel the weight you've borne is now fading There's no wind to blow the dust you were Please help me reach the gate I know I can't escape The place where we'll stay forever Everybody wants to be a part of a paradise Frightened they are looking every deathless way But no one can remember what is the entry price With every step they realize that they don't want to die Load your fucking gun Take one final breath Release the mortality and inhale the death They don't want to die Want to die Want to die They don't want to die Everybody wants to be a part of a paradise Frightened they are looking every deathless way But no one can remember what is the entry price With every step they realize that they don't want to die No one was born to live forever Everyone is capable of dying
6.	Goodbye 02:20	lyrics	buy track
I’m away but there's more to say I’ll be there before your eyes (will) try to shed another tear Drying ocean can become a cloud to say goodbye Dying man can leave his form and elevate and try to say goodbye Living in this endless void you’’ll find Why did you say goodbye
7.	The Moment 02:54	lyrics	buy track
it was like wakeless dream of slumber Strange thoughts whirl within my mind Bitter taste of past, so undefined As I am flooded by the memories Whispering of my life once past Forever trapped in death’s embrace, I thought I’d last What if I tell you it’s hope What you were looking for and there’s nothing to win Until you have it all Life’s just a moment Life's just a moment Like a phoenix from the ashes I was born again and freed And whilst life was forming Gods were trading time for all the moments I once lived Rewinding the tapes Of what was called history They sensed a revolution burning up inside of me We have got another We’ve got another chance to make the world we want to see What if I tell you it’s hope What you were looking for And there’s nothing to win Until you have it all Life’s just a moment Life is just another stage What if I tell you it’s hope What you were looking forand there’s nothing to win Until you have it all Life’s just a moment Life's just a moment Echoes of the heaviest of my thoughts Are dragging me back Striving to ensnare me With every single step, I defy their grasp Decided for adjustment, no way back to my past Gave up my life to realise What if I tell you it’s hope What you were looking for And there’s nothing to win Until you have it all Life’s just a moment Life's just a moment What if I tell you it’s hope What you were looking for And there’s nothing to win Until you have it all Life’s just a moment Life is just another stage What if I tell you it’s hope What you were looking for And there’s nothing to win Until you have it all Life’s just a moment Life's just a moment
8.	Royal Crown 03:16	lyrics	buy track
When we feel the change in the air we breathe Let’s all gather up now vote for what we need If the weight of endless choices makes the kings sweat then no crown stays golden in the end No there’s no single man of mankind To whom we should look up to as if he was a God Thrones should be nothing but an armchair In the end When we feel the change in the air we breathe Let’s all gather up now vote for what we need When we feel the change in the end we see We were all just a part of the game they lived With your hands untied There’s no limit to explore just free your mind Like a rush through your veins when a drug takes hold, It's the thrill of freedom lifting your soul. We’re on the edge of what this world should be Cut the rope, don’t look back turn the crown on his head into memories When we feel the change in the air we breathe Let’s all gather up now vote for what we need When we feel the change in the end we see We were all just a part of the game they lived We made you leave the throne but left an open door Your voice is the same as ours No need to say goodbye When we feel the change in the air we breathe Let’s all gather up now vote for what we (need) When we feel the change in the air we breathe Let’s all gather up now vote for what we need When we feel the change in the end we see We were all just a part of the game they lived
9.	When We're The Same 02:43	lyrics	buy track
What about you What about me What do we claim to be? When we’re the same What can you hate about me? We’ve never met before The fact that we’re based on a different kind could teach us more But all the hate that’s circling through your heavy veins Is tightening up the blindfold on your head Where the sight ends, there’s so much more you’ll see just find your eyes there What about you What about me What do we claim to be? When we’re the same What about you What about me What do we pretend to be? When we’re the same When we’re the same There are no rules how to walk this earth So break the chains and throw away the ones you’ve learned As we were born we’ll surely meet the ground one day So will we fight, or rise along and find our way Will you keep your eyes closed or will you truly understand there's no soul that weighs less no god that’s more blessed So tell me why you should matter more What about you What about me What do we pretend to be? When we’re the same When we’re the same Burn down the place where we're not the same and hope this day won't be needed again
10.	The World We Made 03:29	lyrics	buy track
I feel sorry for the things to come, I’m to blame with your life in front of you seize your every day I’m feeling so sorry that there are mountains you can’t move I know that you’ll try it, I wish I was there with you I will let you breathe my air through me Now you’re able to take, able to take your own way The rivers from your eyes wont change a thing The fear isn't holding you back Holding you back from now on Why are you dragging me by hand? That’s the question you might ask I lost my precious time that you have yet to spend I’m feeling so sorry I could break down walls that you will have to face There will be a time when You’ll embrace these borrowed words while I will dig my grave I will let you breathe my air through me Now you’re able to take, able to take your own way The rivers from your eyes wont change a thing The fear isn't holding you back, holding you back from now on Has this world come to the point where purpose is lost? How could this be that I have to apologize to myself? I will let you breathe my air through me Now you’re able to take, able to take your own way The rivers from your eyes wont change a thing The fear isn't holding you back, holding you back from now on
11.	Daydreaming 04:20	lyrics	buy track
Walking through this land once veiled in desperate wish to thrive made me see your worth so please don’t let it down Keep this world from falling on its knees to beg you again for the thrive it once had Humble and grateful should be the ones that failed to feel our sacred zeal that kept us from burning out Let me feel your broken bones so we won’t forget what brought us here I can feel your love through the daydreaming I walk While these rotten veins were torn away from the core I was cleansed in the pulse-driven matter of soul I was just a moon and now I am the sun Keep this world from falling on its knees to beg you again for the thrive it once had Humble and grateful should be ones that failed to feel our sacred zeal that kept us from burning out Let me feel your broken bones so we won’t forget what brought us here I can feel your love through the daydreaming I walk Dream on!
