BEYOND THE BLACK LYRICS

1. Hysteria

Your lies, rather like the sirens calling
Your eyes, ever shine a light guiding the way
To darkness and astray
To leave me in the night

You're here and you shut me up with kisses
Cold fear, never did I push you like I should
I knew then that I could
But no, I didn't fight

Hysteria
I'm bound in the fire
Hysteria
I'm trapped in your mind
I didn't see their demon eyes
I got caught within your lies
Hysteria
I'm yours to admire

I'm all alone
Alone, in your heart
I'm all alone
Alone, in the dark

Your hands never failed to wake my wishes
Your glance ever led me deeper in your web
I stayed within your trap
But never left your side

Cold fear, and you shut me up with kisses
No tear, never did I scream to make you go
It could have stopped, but no
'Cause still I didn't fight

Hysteria
I'm bound in the fire
Hysteria
I'm trapped in your mind
I didn't see their demon eyes
I got caught within your lies
Hysteria
I'm yours to admire

Hysteria
I'm bound in the fire
Hysteria
I'm trapped in your mind
I didn't see their demon eyes
I got caught within your lies
Hysteria
I'm yours to admire

I'm all alone
Alone, in your heart
I'm all alone
Alone, in the dark

2. Heart Of The Hurricane

Wide eyes, dark skies
Something's screamin' inside
So free fall into the night storm
Face your demons tonight

Oh there is no way to hide it
Now all the blood and pressure's rising

I can feel the thunder
Running through my veins
Running through my veins
I can feel the thunder
Tonight
Tonight

When darkness strikes
And all the hearts ignite
I can feel the thunder
Running through my veins
I'm the heart of the hurricane

Dark stars, burning hearts
You're not alone in this fight
Just breathe in, your electric skin
Will explode into life

Oh you know that there's no way to hide it
Now all the blood and pressure's rising

I can feel the thunder
Running through my veins
Running through my veins
I can feel the thunder
Tonight
Tonight

When darkness strikes
And all the hearts ignite
I can feel the thunder
Running through my veins
I'm the heart of the hurricane

Follow me, rescue me
Come with me to never let me go
Melting minds instinctively
United in the center of the storm

I can feel the thunder
Running through my veins
I can feel the thunder
Tonight

When darkness strikes
And all the hearts ignite
I can feel the thunder
Running through my veins
I'm the heart of the hurricane

3. Through The Mirror

Watch you spin in your veils of protection
Layer on layer of dark colors unwind
Shake them off but you never forget them
Show your scars to the mute and the blind

Only showin' your face to the lonely
Wear a mask for the masses so cold
Choosin' roads that are broken and stony
Let me tell you my dreams of our destiny

Speak to me, say to me, bare your soul to me
Step through the mirror, join me inside
Run to me, stay with me, till eternity
Show me the face that you hide
You hide, oh

You are wandering spaces in limbo
Hearin' words from the voice in your head
Give a sign and I'll open the window
Step outside and I'll hold you instead

Only showin' your face to the lonely
Wear a mask for the masses so cold
Choosin' roads that are broken and stony
Let me tell you my dreams of our destiny

Speak to me, say to me, bare your soul to me
Step through the mirror, join me inside
Run to me, stay with me, till eternity
Show me the face that you hide
You hide, oh

When you're all alone
Let me be your home
Keep you warm inside the storm
I will shelter you
While you're breaking through
Walls that hide your light

Speak to me, sing to me
Run to me, stay with me

Speak to me, say to me, bare your soul to me
Step through the mirror, join me inside
Run to me, stay with me, till eternity
Show me the face that you hide
Oh, oh, oh
Show me your faith
Oh, oh, oh
Show me the faith that you had
You had, oh

Step through the mirror

4. Million Lightyears

I'm a million lightyears away from you
Saved a million dried tears just for you

My heart so bittersweet
It's coming alive 'cause it's so alive to pain
For good I'll let it bleed
Knowing that somewhere in time you'll feel the same

But should it bleed in vain
Shall all of my sadness be what I am to face
Until the end of days

I'm a million lightyears away from you
Saved a million dried tears just for you
How I only wished that you could hear
My rhapsody in blue
I'm a million lightyears away from you

Ohh, ohh, oh (I'm hearing you crying my name)
Ohh, ohh, oh (Can you take the sorrow from me)
Ohh, ohh, oh (Or will it be all we're to see)
I'm a million lightyears away from you

A prayer into the night
Arising from out of the void you left in me
A song across the sky
May you be carried, my little melody

And should I chant in vain
I'm willing to take all the woe and carry on
Until another dawn

I'm a million lightyears away from you
Saved a million dried tears just for you
How I only wished that you could hear
My rhapsody in blue
I'm a million lightyears away from you

I'm a million lightyears away from you
Saved a million dried tears just for you
How I only wished that you could hear
My rhapsody in blue
I'm a million lightyears away from you

Ohh, ohh, oh (I'm hearing you crying my name)
Ohh, ohh, oh (Can you take the sorrow from me)
Ohh, ohh, oh (Or will it be all we're to see)
I'm a million lightyears away from you

5. Song For The Godless

Sing me a song for the voiceless
A song for our daughters and sons
Sing me a song of our heroes
So long since gone

And time after time
And night after night
We're still here in the dark
And day after day
We're not fading away
Till the dawn

Will you join me singing this song
All the godless heroes are gone
Singing, oh-oh-oh
Singing, oh-oh-oh
Will you find me
Give me your heart for this sorrow
Tears me apart
Singing, oh-oh-oh
Singing, oh-oh-oh
And godless we are

Sing me a song of the nameless
Of thieves and of beggars like us
Sing me a song of the last ones
Forgotten sons

And time after time
And night after night
We're still here in the dark
And day after day
We're not fading away
Till the dawn

Will you join me singing this song
All the godless heroes are gone
Singing, oh-oh-oh
Singing, oh-oh-oh
Will you find me
Give me your heart for this sorrow
Tears me apart
Singing, oh-oh-oh
Singing, oh-oh-oh
And godless we are

6. Escape From The Earth

As the time goes by in days of grey
And the moment's right to leave my life in the end

Wish to escape from the earth
Fly to the stars still high above
Close to loathing this given time
I wish to escape from the earth
Next to the stars, the ones I loved
Finally leaving my world behind

As my life runs by, it's hard to cry
'Cause now my tears run dry, my fading light lost to shine

Wish to escape from the earth
Fly to the stars still high above
Close to loathing this given time
I wish to escape from the earth
Next to the stars, the ones I loved
Find me leaving my world behind

I wish to escape from the earth
Fly to the stars still high above
Close to loathing this given time
I wish to escape from the earth
Next to the stars, the ones I loved
Find me leaving my world behind

As the time goes by in days of grey
And the moment's right to leave my life in the end

7. Beneath A Blackened Sky

Darker skies fall one last time
Upon the righteous and the vile
Heaven sheds no light
Towards our darkest hour

Atonement for our sins and crimes
Judgement day brings endless nights
We fade to black, the ashes fall
Upon our souls tonight

All our hearts will turn to stone
All our dreams die one by one
All our fears were never meant to be
We burn forever

We fall apart (We fall apart, never lift this sorrow)
We chase the clouds (Chase the clouds to live tomorrow)
All for tonight (All for tonight)
We live, beneath a blackened sky
(Skyfall awaits tomorrow)
I end this life (End this life to end my sorrow)
'Cause we all die (In darkness we all die)
Alone, beneath a blackened sky

One by one into the void
Idols, heroes left destroyed
Man-made gods won't save
Our hearts, so let them break
The rain comes down, a heavy crown
A shroud for kings and queens of old
The chaos reigns, our prophecy
Fulfilled in fire tonight

All our hearts will turn to stone
All our dreams die one by one
All our fears were never meant to be
We burn forevermore

We fall apart (We fall apart, never lift this sorrow)
We chase the clouds (Chase the clouds to live tomorrow)
All for tonight (All for tonight)
We live, beneath a blackened sky
(Skyfall awaits tomorrow)
I end this life (End this life to end my sorrow)
'Cause we all die (In darkness we all die)
Alone, beneath a blackened sky

We fall apart (We fall apart, never lift this sorrow)
We chase the clouds (Chase the clouds to live tomorrow)
All for tonight (All for tonight)
We live, beneath a blackened sky
(Skyfall awaits tomorrow)
I end this life (End this life to end my sorrow)
'Cause we all die (In darkness we all die)
Alone, beneath a blackened sky

(Never lift this sorrow)
I end this life (Chase the clouds to live tomorrow)
'Cause we all die (All for tonight)
Alone, beneath a blackened sky

8. Fairytale Of Doom

Blinded by gold and blinded by diamonds
I let you chain me in silk
You told me lies, I drowned in your eyes
And in all those castles you built

Silver the doors and golden the cages
Nothing was quite as it seemed
And when I realized, you turned the key
And I saw your eyes full of greed
It was too late when I screamed

Once upon a time this love was true
And I tied myself to you
We spoke vows to last forever, oh
Once upon a time I lived a dream
I got blinded by your scheme
Still my vows hold me forever
In a fairy tale of doom

Feeding on nightmares, stealing my terror
You enjoy keeping me here
I feel it slipping, I see it dripping
Like blood and tears you drink fear

Silver the doors and golden the cages
Nothing was quite as it seemed
And when I realized, you turned the key
And I saw your eyes full of greed
It was too late when I screamed

Once upon a time this love was true
And I tied myself to you
We spoke vows to last forever, oh
Once upon a time I lived a dream
I got blinded by your scheme
Still my vows hold me forever
In a fairy tale of doom

Riven my soul and riven my senses
I feel my spirits recede
Dying imprisoned, last of my visions
Your burning eyes full of greed
It was too late when I screamed

Once upon a time this love was true
And I tied myself to you
We spoke vows to last forever, oh
Once upon a time I lived a dream
I got blinded by your scheme
Still my vows hold me forever
In a fairy tale of doom

9. My God Is Dead

I walked across the desert a thousand miles
And every second cost me a thousand lives
And I close my eyes, and I pay the price
When all of nature's beauties wore off and died
You promised me the heavens would make it right
And I closed my eyes and trusted your lies

(My God is dead!)
I catch you, my soul and my heart
(My God is dead!)
While you left us lost in the dark
(My God is dead!)
You preyed on our faith and I gave you my life
(My God is dead!)
You promised me heaven instead
My God is dead

I watch as all our loved ones return to dust
The world we used to live in it drowns in rust
But I close my eyes and turn to the skies
With all the souls you gave us, with all those tears
You didn't try and stop it in all those years
You heard all those cries but you closed your eyes

(My God is dead!)
I catch you, my soul and my heart
(My God is dead!)
While you left us lost in the dark
(My God is dead!)
You preyed on our faith and I gave you my life
(My God is dead!)
You promised me heaven instead
My God is dead
My God is dead

And soon there will be silence
The last of all to come
But you will still remember
When we will all be gone
You'll hear my voice forever
The light in you reversed
Forsaken, betrayed in our trust

(My God is dead!)
I catch you, my soul and my heart
(My God is dead!)
While you left us lost in the dark
(My God is dead!)
You preyed on our faith and I gave you my life
(My God is dead!)
You promised me heaven instead
My God is dead
My God is dead
My God is dead

10. Dear Death

In the minute, when you take my breath away
Forever, I fall into the silence of my fear
I'm pretending, I will be here anyway
Forever, but deep inside I know it isn't real

Let me live inside my memory
To reunite the fate
Just for a little moment
I need a place where we all meet again

You can't take away the meaning of it all
You can't take away the feeling that I keep deep in the core
We are anchored in the center of our souls
You can't take away the love, we won't...
Regret what we have hoped

In the minute, when my day turns into night
Forever, my life is passing quickly once again
I'm descending, while my spirit turns to light
And forever, and my moon is slowly rising in the end

I hope I live inside my memory
Of the ones that I have loved
And sometimes for a moment
We touch when our realities collide

You can't take away the meaning of it all
You can't take away the feeling that I keep deep in the core
We are anchored in the center of our souls
You can't take away the love, we won't...
Regret what we have hoped

You can't take away the meaning of it all
You can't take away the feeling that I keep deep in the core
We are anchored in the center of our souls
You can't take away the love
And we won't regret what we have hoped

You can't take away the meaning of it all
You can't take away the feeling that I keep deep in the core
We are anchored in the center of our souls
You can't take away the love
We won't regret what we have hoped

11. Scream For Me

Did you ever feel like the only one sane in this world
Did you look around in this theater of the absurd
Feeling doomed with the rest of us, watching the powerful prey
On the hopeless and weak every day

Just scream (Just scream) For me (For me)
Come shout at this madness to set yourself free
Just scream (Just scream) For me (For me)
Scream out and destroy what they want you to be

(Oh) Just scream for me
(Oh) Scream for me

Do you hear the sound of guns shooting the innocent down
Do you see the values we honored now smashed to the ground
Feeling doomed with the rest of us, watching the free world go dark
And the terror is piercing your heart

Just scream (Just scream) For me (For me)
Come shout at this madness to set yourself free
Just scream (Just scream) For me (For me)
Scream out and destroy what they want you to be

Did you ever feel like the only one sane in this world
Did you look around in this theater of the absurd

Just scream (Just scream) For me (For me)
Come shout at this madness to set yourself free
Just scream (Just scream) For me (For me)
Scream out and destroy what they want you to be

12. Freedom

My own free will, my way of being
In this twisted heart of mine
We're traveling from far to see it
Reminds me of a cast out youth
That's urging to rebloom
An ocean filled with prosperous souls
Grown in the light of the moon

Can you hear me?
I'll be your voice
Please come to join me tonight

As far as I can see, it happens here tonight
These fields of liberty are melting space and time
Another year goes by, another piece of mine
I'm coming home to see my hopes and dreams
Rebuilt and redefined

Freedom!
Freedom!

A place like this, a soul asylum
For a blackened heart like mine
Now I know that it exists
(Don't let it go)
I'm coming home to walk these fields
And push away my griefs
I'm coming home to energize me
And stand up for my being

Can you hear me?
I'll be your voice
Please come to join me tonight

As far as I can see, it happens here tonight
These fields of liberty are melting space and time
Another year goes by, another piece of mine
I'm coming home to see my hopes and dreams
Rebuilt and redefined

Freedom!
Freedom!

And when the darkness takes the light
It feels like something sets me free
I lose my solitary life
And when my worry disappears
I see the beauty and the beast

As far as I can see, it happens here tonight
These fields of liberty are melting space and time
Another year goes by, another piece of mine
I'm coming home to see my hopes and dreams
Rebuilt and redefined

As far as I can see, it happens here tonight
These fields of liberty are melting space and time
Another year goes by, another piece of mine
I'm coming home to see my hopes and dreams
Rebuilt and redefined

Freedom!
Freedom!

13. Breeze

Precious love is random
But we inhale the slightest breeze
Men can cure the symptoms
But never cure the disease

What I discovered in a corner of my mind
Tell me it's time to face the truth
I tried to fight it but it's powerful and blind
And tells me what I long to do
When every lie is only mirrored verity
And every sin a cry for help
When you say things you never wanted to be said
You know it's time to walk ahead

Will I ever beat my demons?
Will I ever bear myself?

Precious love is random
But we inhale the slightest breeze
Men can cure the symptoms
But never cure the disease
When moments seem eternal
We should satisfy our needs
'Cause when the drought is coming
We should have filled our magazines

In ever vice you'll find a little purity
And darkness shows the smallest spark
In the calm you feel the lightest summer wind
And tide is followed by the flood
A drop can overflow an ocean easily
A moment can destroy a life
A little failure is enough to lose your course
To find your way back may be hard

Will I ever beat my demons?
Are the demons bad at all?

Precious love is random
But we inhale the slightest breeze
Men can cure the symptoms
But never cure the disease
When moments seem eternal
We should satisfy our needs
'Cause when the drought is coming
We should have filled our magazines

Precious love is random
But we inhale the slightest breeze
Men can cure the symptoms
But never cure the disease
When moments seem eternal
We should satisfy our needs
'Cause when the drought is coming
We should have filled our magazines
Filled our magazines

14. Echo From The Past

Forgotten doesn't mean forgiven
I feel sinister eyes
Embraced with fear I dare to wonder
If love's a lie

A yelling choir breaks the silence
Where peace seemed to prevail
How long am I to stand another bale?

Too much time I locked the truth away
Too much time until my judgement day

Can you hear the echo,
Can you hear the echo from the past?
Can you hear the echo,
Arisen from an ancient vast?
Can you hear the echo?
And I'm letting go, the die is cast
I've got to face a dark arcanum
Am I the one to breathe my last?
Can you hear the echo from the past?

Forgotten doesn't mean forgiven
No more I have a choice
It screams at me all day and night
The omniscient voice

My demons journeyed through the ages
They haunt me in my dreams
May I surrender to my destiny

Too much time I locked the truth away
Too much time until my judgement day

Can you hear the echo,
Can you hear the echo from the past?
Can you hear the echo,
Arisen from an ancient vast?
Can you hear the echo?
And I'm letting go, the die is cast
I've got to face a dark arcanum
Am I the one to breathe my last?
Can you hear the echo from the past?

And when the light of hope surrounds me
I can't escape the undertow
Drawing me back into the dark from long ago
There will be no more sweet tomorrow
No more savior on my way
I invoked the nightmares of my yesterdays

Can you hear the echo,
Can you hear the echo from the past?
Can you hear the echo,
Arisen from an ancient vast?
Can you hear the echo?
And I'm letting go, the die is cast
I've got to face a dark arcanum
Am I the one to breathe my last?

Can you hear the echo?
Can you hear the echo?
Can you hear the echo from the past?

15. Parade

I face it each morning
I see myself and wonder why
The mirror would haunt me
And wants to show the things I hide

I feel like I'm naked
And the world is watching to the bone
Consuming my power
And it sometimes feels - I'm on my own

We hide behind
Facades of light
That leave us blind

Don't wanna walk the parade
Don't wanna be in the race
I don't wanna walk the parade
Don't wanna be someone, be someone else
Don't touch me, don't change me
I wanna be who I am
Don't want to walk the parade

We serve and deliver
And claim to be the justified
Our values are shattered
While we surrender our pride

We hide behind
Facades of light
That leave us blind

Don't wanna walk the parade
Don't wanna be in the race
I don't wanna walk the parade
Don't wanna be someone, be someone else
Don't touch me, don't change me
I wanna be who I am
Don't want to walk the parade

I don't wanna give in
I don't care what they think
If anything is real then love is
There is a world full of joy
And it's easy to share
Just be yourself and feel what I feel

Don't wanna walk the parade
Don't wanna be in the race
I don't wanna walk the parade
Don't wanna be someone, be someone else
Don't touch me, don't change me
I wanna be who I am

Don't wanna walk the parade
Or be in the race
I don't wanna walk the parade
Don't wanna be someone, be someone else

Don't wanna walk the parade
Don't wanna be in the race
I don't wanna walk the parade
Don't wanna be someone, be someone else
Don't wanna walk the parade...

16. The Wound So Deep

I sustained your words to the world
Refused to question your deeds
Recalled your wounded honesty
And your integrity was to be sealed

I lost it all, but not my belief
Practised wealth and poverty
And if one thing in life is certain
In death we’ll find equality

Now I will be the light to raise your hope inside
Until you know how it really feels
How can someone believe we cannot make it real
How can we find something that heals
The wound so deep
The wound so deep

When freedom fails and love is banned
How can this hope be wrong
In times of death and suffering
We tumble in the storm

You claim to cure with punishment
And say that god is yours
But in the end we’re all the same
The wealthy and the poor

Now I will be the light to raise your hope inside
Until you know how it really feels
How can someone believe we cannot make it real
How can we find something that heals
The wound so deep
The wound so deep

We know death will come but another age dawns and in silence we’ll remain
I go where another stream flows but my faith will be the same
Hope will come and together we’ll bear to fight against the odds
And we heal
The wound so deep
The wound so deep

I sustained your words to the world
Refused to question your deeds
Now I will be the light to raise your hope inside
Until you know how it really feels
How can someone believe we cannot make it real
How can we find something that heals
The wound so deep
The wound so deep
