KOBRA AND THE LOTUS LYRICS

1. 50 Shades Of Evil

Oh you've seen this all before
Never feeling satisfied
And always wanting more

Slipping into your system
Opening up the gate
Flooding real with lust
Until it is too late

Whoa, the advocate of hell
50 shades of evil
Only the devil could wear well

Behold the river of desire
Carelessly you're bashing down on heads to get you higher
You will die!
As empty as you started
You'll never have enough
Your greed cannot be mended

Whoa, the advocate of hell
50 shades of evil
Only the devil could wear well

You have become
Whoa
50 shades of evil! 50 shades of evil!
Advocate of hell! Advocate of hell!
Only the devil could wear it well!

2. Welcome To My Funeral

That night the earth stood still screaming in silence
Flailing in a ravenous will, born beyond possession

Infernal fire
It's killing you
It's killing me
You dug a grave and I'm still digging

Yeah
Welcome to my funeral
Yeah
I hope that you've had fun
This monster I've become

We are the tarnished chains
All our inner entities are tragically enslaved
I see right through you! We're almost made the same
Cleverly placed beside you, designed for your decay

Infernal fire
It's killing you
It's killing me
You dug a grave
I'm still digging

Mirror of imperfection
I tear it down, I tear it down!

I hope, I pray, to find illumination in my way
My soul, I keep
Release these lifeless chains and set me free

Yeah
Welcome to my funeral
Yeah
It's killing you, it's killing me
You dug a grave, I'm still digging!

Yeah
Welcome to my funeral
Yeah
This monster
This monster I've become

3. Forever One

Crowning the Kobra and turning the page
This is deliverance day
Kneeling before us defending the faith
We are the keeper of strength

Rise up
Breaking the Silence
Rise up
Unleashing the pain

Bearing the burden for liberty rising
The coming of age

We are forever one

Bring me the masters of reality
Courage that enemies fear
Merciless soldiers, we're paving the way
Giving our blood, sweat and tears

Rise up
Bringer of justice
Rise up
Slayer of fame

Crushing the ego
Destroying the self
We are but one and the same

We are Forever One

Can you all feel it now?
Our future is growing
A universal voice
We'll be forever one
Forever one

4. Heaven’S Veins

Hey! Dark addiction! You cannot take my life!
I won't give in to this decay, I will not die!

Bittersweet
Vindication of my fight
So so bittersweet
Return my existence
This is the way

I awaken catching my fall taken from grace
With Heaven's Veins
I am breaking this feverish way
With Heaven's Veins
Heaven's Veins

Why? You've forsaken! Left me cold and dead inside
You! Were deceiving, making me self-victimize

Bittersweet
Vindication of my fight
So so bittersweet
Return my existence
This is the way

I awaken catching my fall taken from grace
With Heaven's Veins
I am breaking this feverish way
With Heaven's Veins
Heaven's Veins

Vengeance you'll leave me now
Vengeance you'll leave me now
Vengeance you'll leave me now
Vengeance you'll leave me now!

I awaken catching my fall taken tram grace
With Heaven's Veins
I am breaking this feverish way
With Heaven's Veins
Heaven's Veins
Heaven's Veins
Heaven's Veins
Catching my fall from grace
Heaven's Veins
Awaken Heaven's Veins
Heaven's Veins
Awaken me!

5. My Life

Twisting and turning
I can't stop this feeling
It grows in me everyday

Started so clear
No revenge in my air
Now I slay all not my kind

Oh my life coming undone

Damage of the ages
I wasn't a part of but chose to defend

I have no remorse
I'm born with no pity
But now I feel something is wrong

Oh my life coming undone
Oh my life what have I done?
What have I done?

You trained me to believe the gun in hand's the enemy
Brainwashed by words you've said
I've justified this sea of red
I'm fighting for your past but why did all the anger last?
Now open eyes I see the killer always has been me

I am the weapon of mass destruction
With open eyes I see the killer always has been me
Always has been me and I see it in you too

Go!

It's my life
(My! Life!)

It's my life
(My! Life!)

It's my life
(My! Life!)

My life!
(My! Life!)

6. Nayana (My Eyes)

I asked myself why this is happening
Behind my wall I can't reply
I taste the colours and start panicking
Scared to believe that I may shine

Can't see past the carnage I have created in my mind
Forever forgetting to myself I must be kind

Nayana, no one will ever see through my eyes
Nayana, you have yours, these eyes are mine

One hundred years inside a garden
Thinking the flowers had no scent
Smashing the water for its honesty
Boundlessly swimming in repent

Can't see past the carnage I have created in my mind
Forever forgetting to myself I must be kind

Nayana, no one will ever see through my eyes
Nayana, you have yours, these eyes are mine

Nayana, Nayana, Nayana, Nayana

Can't see past the carnage I have created in my mind
Forever forgetting to myself I must be kind

Nayana, no one will ever see through my eyes
Nayana, you have yours, these eyes are mine!

7. Sanctuary

All alone in this world unfolding
All alone in this world I long to stay
All alone in this world surrounding
Trusting no one, I will always be alone

Whoa in my sanctuary
Whoa lonely sanctuary

This restless place surrounds my shoulders
Eternal faces in an empty room

Truth or die
How do I get inside?
Am I sane? I struggle to decide

Whoa lonely sanctuary
Whoa lonely sanctuary

I had a dream this feeling ripped my heart
Couldn't breathe as I drowned into the earth

Truth or die
How do I get inside?
Am I sane? I struggle to decide

Whoa lonely sanctuary
Whoa lonely sanctuary
Whoa lonely sanctuary
Whoa lonely sanctuary

Intoxicating essence of fabricated tale
I barely hold myself back in fear that I may fail

This is my life, lone soul
I'm so alive, hollow
Lonely Sanctuary
Lonely Sanctuary

8. Lover Of The Beloved

Through all her history the picture had been perfect
Escaping all affection she evaded proof
I've fallen into your sky
Do not come looking
I will never return until you are mine

Lover of the beloved
My sacrament is you

Began compassion
Dawned a richer view
She saw the divine inside him that lit her blackened room
Only in reverence she kneeled to his feet
To testify her worthiness, her unconditional deed

Look at her as she falls endlessly
Staring into his eyes
She won't give up this time

Lover of the beloved
My sacrament is you
Lover of the beloved
Patiently she's waiting for you
For you

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Lover of the beloved
My sacrament is you
Lover of the beloved
Patiently she's waiting for you

9. No Rest For The Wicked

There will be no rest for the wicked

Misery is what she feels inside this never ending hole
Wonders if he'll be back again
He's left before and he'll do it again

Every morning the sun forgets to rise
Sacrificing the loyalty
Shattering the spine

Another familiar story in a more familiar place
Kissing their kids goodnight
They struggle without a trace
Is this the life they're leading? A fake distorted lie?
Until it hits inside that nothing good lasts forever

Strung high on delusion
Integrity is falling down
Betrayal's the voice of it all
Reflect as they suffer

Every morning the sun forgets to rise
Sacrificing the loyalty
Shattering the spine

Another familiar story in a more familiar place
Kissing their kids goodnight
They struggle without a trace
This is the life they're leading, a fake distorted lie
Until it hits inside that nothing good lasts forever

No rest for the wicked!

Come a little closer, let me show you where they hide
Ruining their disguise
Stabbing is a wicked game to play, exposing all the signs
Now wake up to the reality that nothing good lasts
forever!

Another familiar story in a more familiar place
Kissing their kids goodnight
They struggle without a trace
Is this the life they're leading? A fake distorted lie?
Until it hits inside that nothing good lasts forever

There will be no rest for the wicked
I said nothing good lasts forever
There will be no rest for the wicked

10. Aria Of Karmika

One life has gifted you a path
with an unwritten face
Two hands have given you the chance to build a
better place

As pure as the moonlight
Knowledge floods the pain
Darkness fades away

Aria of Karmika
Aria of Karmika

One mind to learn from actions past
Two feet to walk a righteous path

As pure as the moonlight
Knowledge floods the pain
Darkness fades away

Aria of Karmika
Aria of Karmika

One life

I see the cruel intention
blinding us as fear prevails
on and on
Returning for redemption
bearing seeds of sorrows
'til we're gone

Aria of Karmika
Aria fades away
