MOURNING CARESS LYRICS

1. ...Of Fortune And Failure

Sometimes I close my eyes
To reconsider what I've done
The waste of time comes to my mind
Helpless
I draw the final line to carry on
Salvation
Once again my confidence is gone
Once again I'm struggling
For a silent whisper

I need you, I trust in you
This is the only way to be
Of fortune and failure
Of fortune and failure

Flowers turn to dust in my hands
Millions of colours turn into gray
My heart is straining, full of rage
My hands are trembling
What's coming next?

Once more I return
To question all that I have done
You know the meaning of my words
Don't you
The desperate longing for a change
Worthless
Once again my confidence is gone
Once again I'm struggling
For a silent whisper

I need you, I trust in you
This is the only way to be
Of fortune and failure
Of fortune and failure

2. Corroded By Fear

As life turns in circles
I am dead again
Believe me, here is nowhere
We are lost again

A feeling gone, like in the past
Nothing has been done

Today I bleed myself dry
Until I am dust again
Tomorrow I watch myself cry
Until we are dust again

A feeling gone, like in the past
Nothing has been done

I take my last, I take my last
I take my last chance
To make myself clear that I am

A moment of illusive sanity makes me wonder
Makes me think I'm free
A moment of purest clarity
Occasionally I try to rescue me

A feeling gone, like in the past
Nothing has been done

I take my last, I take my last
I take my last chance
To make myself clear that I am

I take my last, I take my last
I take my last chance
To make myself clear that I am

I take my last, I take my last
I take my last chance
To make myself clear that I am

3. As Long As We Are One

The affiliation, unknown intensity
Together into the sunlight, this is our destiny

Great assembly, time to inhale
We won't suffer any more
In search for different ways
This creed in our hearts
As long as we are one

A constellation, made for eternity
My life grows safe in your hands
This is our destiny

Great assembly, time to inhale
We won't suffer any more
In search for different ways
This creed in our hearts
As long as we are one

As long as we are one

One

The affiliation, I'd die for you
The intensity, this is our destiny

Great assembly, time to inhale
We won't suffer any more
In search for different ways
This creed in our hearts
As long as we are one

One

4. Nothing Is Lost

I know that there is hope
In this world of mine
My heart is beating
Onwards I crawl

Take away the sadness, take away the fear
Whatever may come, may come
Why should I give away my dreams?
Yes, my eyes look empty, afraid, full of tears
But I do trust in better days
Yes, I do trust

In my life, shadows gone
Precious world, you are my life
In this world of mine you are

Brighter than the fire I burn
Higher than the clouds I reach
Out there somebody's waiting
Somebody to collect our tears

Take away the sadness, take away the fear
Whatever may come, may come
Why should I give away my dreams?
Yes, my eyes look empty, afraid, full of tears
But I do trust in better days
Yes, I do trust

In my life, shadows gone
Precious world, you are my life
In this world of mine you are

5. The Pessimist

What a fantastic place to let myself go
To torture the body, to torture the soul
On and on into veiling visions
On and on and I close my eyes
I am the fallen one

Devastation, termination is what I see
Backwards into isolation
I kill myself, I am free
Devastation, termination is what I see
Backwards into isolation
The pessimist it's me

In self pity I will drown forever
It's the easiest way for me
To continue life I count to zero
Looking never forward, looking ever back

I cannot change it
I cannot change my life

Here I'm standing, all on my own
It is my will, my choice, why carry on
Here I'm drowning, still on my own
It is my will, my choice, why carry on

Devastation, termination is what I see
Backwards into isolation
I kill myself, I am free
Devastation, termination is what I see
Backwards into isolation
The pessimist it's me

Backwards into isolation
Devastation, termination
Backwards into isolation
The pessimist, it's me

6. Enter Today

7. Sorrows

Sorrows
Another withered day embraces the night
Sorrows
Emotions stripped, my decline
Sorrows
A moment blurred obscures my mind
Sorrows
This well known feeling, I resign

I cannot move, I cannot hide
These thoughts are killing me, am I alive
I cannot move, I cannot hide
If this is my place I wonder why
In this life I cannot rest
My tortured soul is all alive
In this life I seem to forget
That there is something, the other side

I cannot move, I cannot hide
These thoughts are killing me, am I alive
Sorrows, sorrows, sorrows
If this is my place I wonder why
In this life I cannot rest
My tortured soul is all alive
In this life I seem to forget
That there is something, the other side

It is the fear that pulls me under
The insanity
The insanity that feed my demons
Sick fantasies

Where do I come from?
Where do I go?
Illuminate, show me the way to go

In this life I cannot rest
My tortured soul is all alive
In this life I seem to forget
That there is something, the other side

8. Close To Collapse

Bright and tearful eyes
Pretending it's all right
Never turn the inside out
Every single word is in doubt

These words they have no meaning
This world it has no meaning
I swear I tried

These bitter moments
Oh how sweet they are
Darkest hours, life is cold, cold as ice
A future still uncertain
My pounding heart, solutions none
In search for the green eternal
Shores of unknown land

These words they have no meaning
This world it has no meaning
I swear I tried

My hope close to collapse
My dreams close to collapse
I am close, so close

These words they have no meaning
This world it has no meaning
I swear I tried

My hope close to collapse
My dreams close to collapse
My hope, my dreams

9. Too Deep Inside

Turn around look into my eyes
Can't you see how I feel?
Can't you see this slow demise?

And behind my eyes chaos rules my world
And behind my eyes the flame refuses to burn

Well, this is the end
Tell me this is the end of it now

Well, I've lost my way
Madness spreads within my soul
I am sick I've lost control
Well, I've lost my way
There is nothing more to hide
'Cause it's too deep
Too deep inside

Like I can see myself
Feel pity for the weak
Like I begin to fall
And never hit the ground
I start to scream
Sanity for sale

Well, this is the end
Tell me this is the end of it now

Well, I've lost my way
Madness spreads within my soul
I am sick I've lost control
Well, I've lost my way
There is nothing more to hide
'Cause it's too deep
Too deep inside

Shall I go forward
Shall I go back
A living target to attack
Aiming high but feeling low
It's not over, it happens now

Turn around now

Well, I've lost my way
Madness spreads within my soul
I am sick I've lost control
Well, I've lost my way
There is nothing more to hide
'Cause it's too deep
Too deep inside

10. Frustrations

Deep down, deep down into nothingness
To seek the weakest heart of all
Deep down, deep down into emptiness
To see the bravest fall

What is the essence of our lives?
Forever torn apart

To win a battle we are too weak
Without a single word we try to speak

Open your eyes

Frustrations breed within
First they break your bones
Then they slowly burn your skin
Frustrations breed within
First they break your bones
Then they slowly burn your skin

Deep down, deep down into weariness
Where the pain is everlasting
Deep down, deep down into loneliness
To kiss the joy of life goodbye

What is the essence of our lives?
Forever torn apart
Torn apart

Frustrations breed within
First they break your bones
Then they slowly burn your skin
Frustrations breed
Frustrations breed within
Frustrations breed
Frustrations

11. Inner Exile

Caught outside
World isolated
As life slips slowly out of my hands

I can't take it
I can't take it
I can't take it
I can't take it

No more

It's within me, it's within you
It's the thorn of life
That pulls us through
It's within me, it's within you
It's the thorn of life
That pulls us through
Inner exile, inner exile
Within me, inner exile
Inner exile, within you

Too much noise surrounding me
My body is getting weak
I don't want to talk
I drift away

Locked inside
World isolated
Penetration of my soul
Fragile I am
Fragile I fly

I fly

It's within me, it's within you
It's the thorn of life
That pulls us through
It's within me, it's within you
It's the thorn of life
That pulls us through
Inner exile, inner exile
Within me, inner exile
Inner exile, within you
