1. Anteroom Of Death

[feat. Van Canto]

Two faced drama rebellion
Are you the Joker, King or Queen?
Place your cards as they’re coming
Came to win, lost everything
Gambling riders pull the strings
Pull them tighter, let them in

Come and play another day
Throw your mask away
I don’t care what you say
‘Cause your lovely words decay
Come and play another day
Welcome to the anteroom of death

Hide your conspiracies so
Who’s got the keys and who has not?
Sell your fortune to me
‘Cause I can still read behind all that
Burn your fingers, trade a dream
Watch the clock as it’s ticking

Come and play another day
Throw your mask away
I don’t care what you say
‘Cause your lovely words decay
Come and play another day
Welcome to the anteroom of death

Blinded in the dark
I’m touching the scars of tainted hearts
If you’re searching, learn to see
Honesty is all you need
Take a bow, finally

Come and play another day
Throw your mask away
I don’t care what you say
‘Cause your lovely words decay
Come and play another day
Welcome to the anteroom of death

2. Until My Last Breath

Cannot cry it loud enough
I’m giving up this ghost
How can I still justify
When you deny my voice?
In this nothing I am not allowed
I just follow alone
Words as weapons without a sound
Echoes dying unborn

[Chorus:]
Until my last breath
You’ll never know
Until you feel the silence
When I am gone
Now it’s vanishing
Everything
What we might have been
Only now you praise
Call my name that you won’t see again

Who can change this memory?
Inside it needs to burn
Worship by the enemy
The guilty take their turns
Watching as it’s disappearing
Shadows all that remain
Wishes slowly crossing over
In this parade of pain

[Chorus x2]

Until my last breath you’ll never know
Until you feel the silence when I am gone
Now it’s vanishing, everything what we might have been
Only now you praise, call my name that you won’t see again

3. I Feel Immortal

Whenever I wake up
I’m lost and always afraid
It’s never the same place
I close my eyes to escape
The walls around me

And I drift away
Inside the silence
Overtakes the pain
and in my dreams

I feel Immortal
I am not scared
No, I am not scared
I feel immortal
When I am there
When I am there

Whenever I wake up
The shards of us cut within
Always the same day
Frozen all in the fringe
I surrender to the sleep
And leave the hurt behind me
There’s no more death to fear
and in my dreams

I feel Immortal
I am not scared
No, I am not scared
I feel immortal
When I am there
When I am there

So far or right beside me
So close but they can’t find me
Slowly, time forgets me
I’m only, only dreaming

I feel Immortal
I am not scared
No, I am not scared
I feel immortal
When I am there
When I am there

I feel immortal
and I am not scared

4. In For A Kill

Where do you go from here? It’s dragging you under
Nothing could be more clear, when you are the hunter
Is that a dream to die for? A prize, you keep it out of the light

Nothing can shine, left in the dark, far from their eyes
Under black water there is no halo, only the hunger
And you’re in for a kill

You and your twisted minds it’s making us shiver
How can we be so blind, the fear you deliver
It’s all a grand illusion, a trick you keep it out of the light

Nothing can shine, left in the dark, far from their eyes
Under black water there is no halo, only the hunger
And you’re in for a kill

5. Underneath

Even in my darkest times
Overcome with worry
Find the comfort in the storm
No reason to be sorry
Look inside for a place to hide
All around the faithless wait full of expectations
They will never see the beauty in the imperfections
The more I show
The less they know

Out of reach
Underneath
Learned to breath
Underneath
Something inside of me
Invisible turning the fragile
Unbreakable
But they cannot take away
They cannot take away
What I believe
You cannot take away
Cannot take away
What’s underneath

Every little cut runs deep
Masked in my tomorrow
Bringing wisdom that I need for all the time I borrow
My other side is left behind

6. Little Lies

Take my faith with an open hand and warm embrace
My confidant
Use my words
Take the good away and leave the worst to sell me out

Little lies
Little lies
Making up tragedies
Nothing is what it seems
Who cares what is real
Little lies
Little lies
Only to entertain
The message is the same for those who believe

Feed the flames
Empty wishes with no room to blame
My sacrifice
Deep inside
There is nothing left to stand behind
But

Little lies
Little lies
Making up tragedies
Nothing is what it seems
Who cares what is real
Little lies
Little lies
Only to entertain
The message is the same for those who believe

Little Lies
Little lies
Nothing is what it seems

7. Rivers Of Lust

Violent hands come at midnight
Hold me down
I can’t make a sound
In their arms
Still unwanted
Crave the child
Be forever wiled

Stranger, danger
Release me

Mercy’s hiding
It let me go
Hurts to know
Mercy’s watching
Watching me drowning
In rivers of lust

Morning sun
Break the shelter
Turn back time
Wash away my crime

Betrayer, slayer
Release me

Mercy’s hiding
It let me go
Hurts to know
Mercy’s watching
Watching me drowning
In rivers of lust

Found at noon
Clutching still the stone

8. Dark Star

[feat. Phil Labonte]

Burning out in the distance you’re falling
Starting to fade
Light is condemned to be tied down by gravity close to the end
Do you still remember?
Before the weight that pulled you under
Dared you to rise

Where are you now?
Are you proud of the life you wasted?
Wearing the crown of illusion you created
You’ll never know what it feels like to shine
You’re the master in your own mind
But a slave to all
You are a dark star

Empty
Is never enough
You keep clawing for what you can’t reach
Smothering space filled without any grace and I can’t breathe
Nothing lasts forever
Even the stars will loose their luster returning to dust

9. Falling Awake

[feat. Joe Satriani]

Phantom voices with no words to follow
At the mercy of the cold and hollow
I withdrew into my sanctuary of silence
My defence

In this moment I am just becoming
Liberated from my cell of nothing
No sensation there was only breathing
Overcome oblivion

Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I am Falling
I am falling awake

Waves of melodies once forgotten
like a symphony across the ocean
Never knew that they could hear my calling
deep within
crashing in
rushing in
like falling

Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I am Falling
I am falling awake

There is no returning to that emptiness,
loneliness
The dream that lives inside of me
won’t fade away, it’s wide awake

Falling Awake
From a walking sleep
And all that remains
Is the dying memory
And now I can dive for
these dreams I make
Like I am Falling
I am falling awake

10. The Archive Of Lost Dreams

Far from the light to reach beneath a veil of mist
Countless stories were left to rest in peace
Darkened and calm
The grave uncared
Once a haven filled with hope
The archive of lost dreams
We send our inner fears for the ocean to score
Waiting it takes them all away from the shore
Deepest beliefs from billions of souls
Longing for our wishes to find a way back home
Aah…Naiad
The last one in the unknown
The keeper of our written dreams
Aah…Promises
None of them were left behind
She blessed them with her kiss
See.
Hear and feel
The miracle of life
Believe the signs and trust you’ll stay alive
Descend to find the depth of your heart
Mysterious Naiad
Now the circle’s closed forever
Aah…Naiad
The archive is gone
We are on our own

11. Crimson Deep

Sometimes I see the pulse
numb I feel,
so unreal.
Blood on my lips I taste the heavy lead.
What can I find behind the mirror?
I’ll never know.
Who’s the reflection within?

Should I frame for you the other world?

Another world?
I’ve heard the voices of Elysium.
The scent of a sudden wish,
never there, everywhere.
Read me the space in-between.

Come to me
I cried
I need you.
I am seeking
the gates unfold inside
my lost soul
in the dark.

Far beneath my breath
I’m burning
at my core.
Show me how
let me see beyond
I will find
my Crimson Deep.

Sharp is the edge of all discovery,
now I see.
A scar without suffering, impossible.
I’ll wait until my last day
with no shame.
Who’s to blame?
Shaping the signs left for me.

Come to me
I cried
I need you.
I am seeking
the gates unfold inside
my lost soul
in the dark.

Far beneath my breath
I’m burning
at my core.
Show me how
let me see beyond
I will find
my crimson deep

Come to me
I cried
I need you.
I am seeking
the gates unfold inside
my lost soul
in the dark.

Montañas De Silencio

[exclusive U.S. track]

Vuela tan alto
Como puedas
Nadie debajo
Nadie está detrás
Siempre comienza
Cuando estás sólo

Amor
Temor

Siente y encuéntrate en la soledad

Viento

Tú y nadie más

[English translation:]

Fly as high
As you can.
Nobody below,
Nobody is behind.
It always begins
when you are alone.

Love, fear,

feel and find yourself in loneliness.

Yours and no one’s else.

We Are

[Deluxe Edition Exclusive Track]

How cold is the heart
My world is on fire
How deep is the mark
When you leave and your dream turn to water
I let myself feel
I’m wishing for something real

We are
We are
Chasing a shadow
We are
We are
Lost in the shame
You try to hide only to reach out
It’s too late

With a smile you move on
Every fear left unspoken
There was hope
Now it’s gone
So believe there is love in the open
You just have to let go and turn into something real

We are
We are
Chasing a shadow
We are
We are
Lost in the shame
You try to hide only to reach out
It’s too late

Break the shade
See your hate
Black flames
No names
Who are you?
Janette said.

We are
We are
Chasing a shadow
We are
We are
Lost in the shame
You try to hide only to reach out
It’s too late

Naiad

[Deluxe Edition Exclusive Track]

She hears the distant soft caress
there in the gloom.
Colors surround with tenderness
guiding her through.

In the forgotten sweet abyss
another sound
twilight floating memories
always without.

Gloaming
there above the surface
an illusion
reaching down for me.

What lies beneath
beyond the ocean s door
tranquil is the kiss
of the azure rising deep
sleeping ever more
Naiad s mystery
what lies beneath.

Guarding their immorality
saints in the sand.
Stranger than beautiful eerie
an ancient land

Circle of sixteen turned to stone
and still they keep
shimmering crystal promises
one space between.

Gloaming there above the surface, an illusion reaching down for me.

What lies beneath beyond the ocean’s door
Tranquil is the kiss of the azure rising deep, sleeping ever more
Naiad’s mystery what lies beneath beyond the ocean’s door
Tranquil is the kiss of the azure rising deep, sleeping ever more
Naiad’s mystery what lies beneath.

Aah …

Breathing the newborn waves.
Kneeling for the sea she became.

Still Of The Night

[Deluxe Edition Exclusive Track]
[Whitesnake Cover]

In the still of the night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the still of the night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more

In the shadow of night
I see the full moon rise
Telling me what’s in store
My heart start aching
My body starts shaking
An’ I can’t take no more

Now I just wanna get close to you
An’ taste your love so sweet
An’ I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat

In the still of the night
In the still of the night

In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
An’ hide my face from the sun
Through the light of the day
Until the evening time
I’m waiting for the night to come

In the still of the night
In the cool moonlight
I feel my heart is aching
In the still of the night

In the still of the night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the still of the night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more

Now I just wanna get close to you
An’ taste your love so sweet
An’ I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat

In the still of the night

If You Believe

Drifting… words without meaning
Twisting… through the dark concealing
Search again, your reflection lives within.

Shades of the labyrinth
The path lies ahead

If you believe
Truth her name is honesty
Let her shine through your darkest temptation
Hidden deep
In sincerity
With your painted smile
So revealing
Tarnished yet there’s no fear in me
Feeding the flower that dies
Is a ray of light
Is a ray of light

Roaming… colours they were sleeping
Senses… they are never-ending
Find again the beauty in the suffering

Shades of labyrinth
The path lies ahead

The Crying Moon

Take all your black arrows
They can not harm no more
Take all your black arrows
They can not harm no more
Fantasies locked up
In your dungeon
Take all your black arrows
They can not harm no more

The universe is watching her
An evil curse lies on her heart
A chariot, pulled by crows
Trying to tear her hope apart.
Confined in sin

[Chorus:]
I can hear the moon is crying
As it spells out your name
(spells out your name)
All the stars are up there sighing
Saying you come back again

Behind the darkest lullaby
They kept their wishes hidden well
The moon had tied a secret bond
Where they could be one again
Confined in sin

[Chorus]

Love, stronger than hatred,
Stronger than anyone
Her heart is gone
Take all your black arrows
They can not harm no more

Take all your black arrows
They can not harm no more
