NIGHTMARE LYRICS

1. Infected

If I follow, who'll stop me?
Pulling the trigger, I will destroy
Beyond the shadows, beyond the lies
Led by the masses of a different tide

You've got to leave
Defying, breaking away
No need to hide 'cause I will find you
Convicted of your crime

[Chorus]
Horizons all seem to fall apart
We only fear what we deny
Staring at the scene
To find out who we are
And realize...

We are infected!

Spit out the poison, we are infected
Ain't no escape, we're disconnected
Scream out in passion, no time to heal
Make your decision and seal the deal

[Chorus]

We are infected
We're disconnected
In the twilight of our alliance

[Chorus]

We are infected!

2. Of Sleepless Mind

Living souls are fading lights
Wrapped in shadows
You've hurled your fears into the depths
Where you will find me

If you let me feed your passion
I'll let you live in reason
Mysterious memories unfold
Where I will find you

Hiding your secrets can not keep us apart
I'll take you back to the start

Enjoy the journey
Through walls of shame
Stillness is writhing
Try to remember your name

[Chorus]
I will grow inside of you
Master of your sleepless minds
I'll remain under your skin
Shine upon your darkest nights
I'm the fire, I'm the fuel
Let me take your breath away
Intoxicating... Break the rules
For at least one thrill a day

Hiding your secrets can not keep us apart
I'll take you back to the start

Enjoy the journey
Through walls of shame
Innocence burning
Erasing my name

[Chorus]

3. Tangled In The Roots

Trespass in my life, you're starting a war
Living in a glasshouse throwing stones
Poison words, rotting the core
There's nothing left to save here anymore

Who would have thought it would be you?
I'd no longer consider true
Over the edge the ladders have fallen
And vermin get through

[Chorus]
As the years are passing by
We are drawing the line
Ain't no changing who we are
Enslaved to abide
We're as close as we are far
We keep crossing the line
Forever bound to who we are
Why can't we grow?

Trapped on the board, wasting rounds
The cord's been cut but still rebounds
This double edged sword is cutting us down
Tangled in the roots we can't deny

Who would have thought it would be you?
I'd forever be shackled to
Over the edge the ladders have fallen
And I'm left here with you

[Chorus]

Who would have thought it would be you?
Forever bound, I'm left here with you

We keep on crossing the line
I'm bound with you forever

Tangled in the roots

4. Red Marble & Gold

Accusation – persecution
Violation of freedom
Empty souls, chasing power
Quelling empty desires

The present world you uncreate
Is the tomb you'll populate
Your lust and greed, your envy and pride
The deadly sins you glorify

You're running out of fools
To keep the blood from your hands
Making laws we can't afford
In the name of God or some pasty lord

Rise and fall
The wolves are howling
Rise and fall
The wheel is turning

[Chorus]
You're digging your own grave
Of red marble and gold
Your time has come
As you're striving for the throne
With your heart made of stone
Engraved with all your misery

Desperation – annihilation
Destruction of wisdom
Twisted fools in bloodied towers
Crumbling with their empires

Admire your tomb from within
A holy place for all your sins
You are just the devil inside
Your progeny's plastified

Trading your red marble and gold
For treasure in ashes cold
See how the rivers turned to red
Before they dried up our land

Rise and fall
The wolves are howling
Rise and fall
The wheel is turning

[Chorus]

The wheel is turning
The wolves are howling

5. Ikarus

Inside you woke a storm
Yet it's like the rain has gone
I won't stand another drop from you no more
It's gonna lift me right up off the ground
There won't be no escape, no turning round

[Chorus]
Come to me or leave me out, I will deny you
Shut or open wide my eyes translate the other side
Tried so hard to steal my smile, burning out lie after lie
That's how the story goes, but this one won't be mine

I'll skin you alive – no you won't bleed me dry

I kicked your threats and your weapons overboard
There won't be no way back, my power's been restored

[Chorus]

Set me free or leave me blind, I'll fly above you
Gone forever wild, I'm reaching for the other side
Destinations grown apart, with different stories in our hearts
I couldn't care for yours cause this time I got mine

Come to me or leave me out, I will deny you
Shut or open wide my eyes translate the other side
Tried so hard to steal my smile, burning out lie after lie
That's how the story goes, but this one won't be mine

Set me free or leave me blind, I'll fly above you
Gone forever wild, I'm reaching for the other side
Destinations grown apart, with different stories in our hearts
I couldn't care for yours cause this time I got mine

i'll skin you alive – you won't bleed me dry

6. Indifference

The streets are empty, here I walk again
I see the lonely trying to deal with their pain
Passing a brave soul with a grin on his face
Shadow's a shelter, ain't much peace in this place

[Chorus]
I am the bitter silence – I am in vain
I am the empty bottle killing your pain
I am the coldest winter chilling the night
I am the the echo, the echo of your pride

I won't burn, I won't fade
I am easy to catch
In this world that I have made
Find me after the crash
Would you care if I confessed
That I don't care at all
After all I am the reason
That the reason has gone

[Chorus]

Watch the beauty left behind
Could you do that for me?
I can't see I anymore
I assumed I was free

[Chorus]

Would it really change the world
Does it matter at all?
Love or hate, it's all the same
When the reason has gone

I decided to walk on by
Like the leaf drifts high and dry
I decided to walk on by
Like the wind will turn and die

7. Dead Sun

Despite the darkness
I wouldn't listen to what they said
That early morning, just around the corner I prayed
Why
Should I give into the grey
And let them rip my heart away?
I feel what your eyes can't see
I won't live on my knees

[Chorus]
They tore our wings but we head for the sun
We are stronger than ever
We shelter our dreams far from the rain
We live when too many have gone
We love when so many will hate
I think you and I were meant to see
Another day

What can be done when
Tears are painting hopeless scenes?
When tears are flowing
There ain't no different color from skin to skin

Why
Should I give into the grey
And let them rip my heart away?
I feel what your eyes can't see
I won't live on my knees

[Chorus]

I think you and I were meant to live
Under a dead sun

[Chorus]

I think you and I were meant to live
Under a dead sun

8. Seeds Of Agony

There's an eye above the dark sky
That sees the world as it falls
The hourglass is losing sand
We held the future in our hands
Turning pages in a tale that's been foretold

When the storms are rising
It's the final warning
And no one can be safe from the plague that we breed

[Chorus]
We hold the ashes
Of stolen tomorrows
How can we dream
When the future is hollow
If we're out of the game
We all deserve to know
No need to pray

Lost in anger we denied
Fated to die before we tried
Despite our call for a rewind
Our gifts are buried with our pride
Turning pages in a tale that's been foretold

When the bells are calling
It's the final warning
And no one can be safe from the plague that we breed

[Chorus]

9. Inner Sanctum

Angels watching over me
They used to be our innocence
Changing our destiny

Angels live eternally
It's hard to face their absence
Endlessly

Lost in time

[Chorus]
We're turning on the sorrow of memories gone by
We can reach you brothers
We behold your shadows, they light up the sky
We can see you brothers

Time has overcome a wound
I didn't want to heal

Is there a heaven far beyond your star?
Is there a sunset in the place where you are?
Bring me the secret you are keeping inside
So many broken hearts you have left behind

[Chorus]

And here I stand
We can't find the tears
Time can make us hollow

And here I stand
After all these years
I find it hard to swallow

10. Serpentine

There's a virus invisible poisoning your mind
No way to stop the infection!
There's a creature invincible slithering down your spine
Coiling around its possession

[Chorus]
The venom is inside
Burning your soul with dark delusions
It's haunting your lonely nights
Spinnin' round, you're lost, drowned in confusion
It's just a one-way-ride
Oh! And you're out of time
Frozen as the tapestry unwinds
Kiss your foe – Serpentine

As the madness begins to dance in the corner of your eyes
Fear claws and twists its reflection
Suffocating beneath the weight of an ever-growing tide
Breathless, you scream in affliction

[Chorus]

11. Starry Skies Gone Black

You blew me off
Birds of prey
You threw me off
It's a give away

You crossed the line
But you hold the gun
The evil creeps
It cannot be undone

You sold my name, you stole my soul – You owe me
It spun out of control
You owe me life for the starry skies gone black
Before I crawled into the light

[Chorus]
We're drowning in fiction
Unfold before our eyes
Exhaling contradiction
We learn to breath between the lies

Your sense of right and wrong
Got twisted in the early hours

Any suspicious, any doubts
Couldn't stand in our way
I can't believe we're meant to be the minority

Building dreams to look upon – we are all
Playing games that can't be won
You owe me life for the starry skies gone black
As we fall into the dark

[Chorus]

We're drowning in fiction
Unfold before our eyes
Exhaling contradiction
Now the starry skies are black
