HUMAN FORTRESS LYRICS

1. Contrast

Walking in a world with black and white horizons
Talking to a crowd with empty words of silence
Why should I carry on? So alone
Cause I'm the grey between

Nothing more but a scheme
Like noise on a screen
I'm flickering from side to side
I can't hide, don't know what's wrong or right

Come, close your eyes
Don't mind reality
Join in our lies
Find your eternal sanctuary

I am lost between the worlds
I'm on a path leading to nowhere
Lost between the worlds
I'm on path leading to nowhere

Between the frontiers of ignorance
I fail to balance
I don't have a chance
It tears me apart
It devours my heart
A candle in a rainy night
A desperate fight
There's only wrong, no right

Come, close your eyes
Don't mind reality
Join in our lies
Find your eternal sanctuary

I am lost between the worlds
I'm on a path leading to nowhere
Lost between the worlds
I'm on path leading to nowhere

When I close my eyes
I see the world in bright shining colours
Don't mind reality
Found my eternal sanctuary

I am lost between the worlds
I'm on a path leading to nowhere

2. Borders Of Insanity

A mystery for so many ages
But no one found the answer no prophets nor sages
Why are we here where do we go
Tell me the secrets I don't know
Tell me the truth behind it

Show me the way, give me the light
To find my way in this eternal light
Destination out of sight
Eternal existence
Present the masterplan that will not fail
The holy grail

With all my might, with all my power
I command in the name of God
Grant me salvation, no damnation
I don't want to rot

I'm the end of everything, even that of gods
When I dance on your grave
You'll get what you deserve

Now it's too late
No one threatens me, you fool
That's your salvation
I grant you damnation

Welcome to my horror show
Just step into the dark
And enjoy my gloomy realm
Welcome now - my little horror show
Just step into the dark
There is no escape - No way out!

Everyone is equal to me
holy men, children and bastards
There is nothing you can say or pay
You'll be mine one day
Then you'll get immortality
Near the borders of insanity
This will be my gift to you
Cause no one's equal to me

Look back - so sad
You've lost your silly head
My holy grail - the only way
Look back - so sad
You've lost your silly head
That's your salvation I grant you damnation

Welcome to my horror show
Just step into the dark
And enjoy my gloomy realm
Welcome now - my little horror show
Just step into the dark
There is no escape - No way out!
From my horror show there is no escape - No way out!

3. The Wizard

My lord save me
Thy son, thy blood
With evil thoughts in mind
So dark, so black
A fallen one

(oh black wizard)
Oh wizard in your hollow
Repent your sins
And beg for our grace
Pray, pray
Wizard in your hollow
Repent your sins
Or never leave this place

Hear my warning or you will die
Don't turn away, reveal the masterplan - now!

Confess, reveal
We bless, we heal
Change your fate
Before it's too late

What happened to me, what have I become?
A black shadow's son, a darkness in me
But there's no way back and soon I will be free

Lord give me strength
For heart and Soul
With hatred in my eyes
So cold, so cruel
I'm the one

Black wizard in your hollow
Repent your sins
And beg for our grace
Pray, pray
Wizard in your hollow
Repent your sins
Or never leave this place

Hear my warning or you will die
Don't turn away, reveal the masterplan - now!

Confess, reveal
We bless, we heal
Change your fate
Before it's too late

What happened to me, what have I become?
A black shadow's son, a darkness in me
But there's no way back and soon I will be free

There will be no grace(oh wizard in your hollow)
You'll never leave this place(oh wizard in your hollow)
There will be no grace(oh wizard in your hollow)
Never leave this place - now you die

Black wizard in your hollow
Repent your sins
And beg for our grace
Pray, pray
Wizard in your hollow
Repent your sins
Or never leave this place

4. The Raven

When I look into your eyes
I see them all arise(all arise)
My feathered friend, observer of grief
Dark visions of the past
A horror that will ever, ever last
It is the truth that I can't believe

You have seen so much hate
Growing till it was too late
A manmade hell here on earth
Just when death closes in
Time to confess all their sins
Forced to return the gift - the gift of birth

With silent cries he drifts into the dark
With sorrow in his hear

The time the last light dies
All grace will be denied
The end of our future
When the dark Raven flies

Taking the eyes from the dead
Blinding a blinded head
They couldn't see while they were alive
Watch the reaper's dance
To the score in your bloody hands
A deadly symphony written for gun and knife

With silent cries he drifts into the dark
With sorrow in his hear

The time the last light dies
All grace will be denied
The end of our future
When the dark Raven flies

5. When Love And Hate Collide

Pain is just one step away
I can't explain
Draw a distinction between
Love and fidelity

I really hate the daily grind
Can't turn back time

Wipe away the rain of tears
I draw the line
Wipe away the rain of tears
When love and hate collide

Tried to mull over my faults
Yield to despair
Just thinking twice - can't decide
What's wrong or right

Wipe away the rain of tears
I draw the line
Wipe away the rain of tears
When love and hate collide

6. Under The Spell

Dark shadows in the sky
In lost horizons
Can you see these things
That are dwelling deep inside

Chosen to be alone and...
Banished into isolation
My freedom lies in solitude
My hope, no faith, just emptiness

Show me the way
Don't lead me astray

Let me be your guide
I am the light, the light that you see
Let me be your guide - you're lost in me

Deep down in the ocean
I swallow everything around
A saviour, a traitor
My light is the last hope
Making the innocent drown
This is my spell

An empty heart in a cold world
A room of silence
Save my soul tear down the wall
Around my heart it's breaking down
In lost horizons
Can you see these things
That are dwelling deep inside

Chosen to be alone and...
Banished into isolation
My freedom lies in solitude
My hope, no faith, just emptiness

Show me the way
Don't lead me astray

Let me be your guide
I am the light, the light that you see
Let me be your guide - you're lost in me

Let me be your guide
I am the light, the light that you see
Let me be the light - you're lost in me

Deep down in the ocean
I swallow everything around
A saviour, a traitor
My light is the last hope
Making the innocent drown
This is my spell

7. Lions Den

Honour to the king, his will alone be done
No other man or God as great as him
He wisely put us here to watch over his lands
In bloom thanks to our good advice

Glory to our king, to him alone we bow
Forget the sky, look up to the throne
We prepared a law: In your name we shall ban
All religions except the praise for you

There's one man close to you
Who won't abjure from his god
Unfaithful betrayer, into the lions' den

The righteous remained
In the lions' den
As the lions' friend
Proved the traitors wrong
In the lions' den
As the lions' friend he returned

30 days and 30 nights, for a predecent is due
Prayers or pleads not to you be their last deeds

There's one man close to you
Who won't abjure from his god
Unfaithful betrayer, into the lions' den

The righteous remained
In the lions' den
As the lions' friend
Proved the traitors wrong
In the lions' den
As the lions' friend he returned

8. Circle Of Flames

Safely locked in a cell
I'm sleepless in my bed
A prisoner for ages
Time is gnawing through my head

I kept the secret well
That burns me from the inside
I fell a darkness grow
That swallows every light

I bow my head. I clasp my hands
For a very last prayer
Forgive my sins, your grace begins
Where men turn away

One night of desperate hours
Starlight fading in the light of dawn
No might on Earth left to save me
When the devil writes my name
In a circle of flames

I don't think they'll miss me
When I'm not seen anymore
Much too late I start to feel
Things I've never felt before
Sympathy and regret
Only words until this day
Who can teach me how to pray?

I bow my head. I clasp my hands
For a very last prayer
Forgive my sins, your grace begins
Where men turn away

One night of desperate hours
Starlight fading in the light of dawn
No might on Earth left to save me
When the devil writes my name
In a circle of flames

9. Falling Leaves

Why did you call his name?
Why didn't you accept the shame?
Why did you grab the sword you could not handle, you could not bear?
What did you try to achieve?
What did misguide your belief?
What did you think to find in useless battles but tears and death - but tearful death

Here lies my dying son
Soon my own time will come
In the halls of our fathers we shall meet again
My world's now an empty shell
I'm burning in a living hell
And my soul screams out vengeance, I will not return - not return

How did you make him gone?
How did you slay my son?
Now you will serve the king of pain in his dreadful realm, his fearful realm
Where will you meet your death?
Where do you hide from my wrath?
I will not rest til I'm free from the spell and your doom is sealed, a sinister fate - your sinister fare

Here lies my dying son
Soon my own time will come
In the halls of our fathers we shall meet again
My world's now an empty shell
I'm burning in a living hell
And my soul screams out vengeance, I will not return - not return

Here lies my dying son - I will not rest until my quest is done...
