ODIUM LYRICS

1. A New Beginning

Burning the bridges
Leading back to past
You have the will to forget the sadness
Reaching out for a life that you've never had

You're marching on
Step by step
What will you see?

Dark clouds above you
Why don't you realize
Under your skin you feel pain and sorrow
Mirror yourself and you'll be surprised

And still you're marching on
Inch by inch
What do you feel?

Is it a new beginning
A chance to start again
Is it you who's winning
Or is it leading to your end?
Will there ever be a way
To avoid making mistakes?
Will you ever feel when it's time
To rewrite the script of life?

Now you're growing older
Still you feel the pain
You try to run you try to hide from yourself
You're changing so fast - you'll stay the same

You're creeping on
Step by step
What will you see?

2. Hopeless

To bring the high ones to the ground
It is no problem for you to turn their mood around
Pessimistic freak you live in fear
The set is prearranged - no one left to hear

Hopeless one your fate is done
Hopeless 'cause you are the fate of everyone

Let me be the end of all your fun
Let me be the demon who is blackening your sun
Look into the big black void, my friend
It brings you pain - it brings you death - it is your end!

To bring the high ones to the ground
It is no problem for you - learned it on your own
Pessimistic freak you live in fear
The set is prearranged - no one left to hear

3. Beast By Society

I exist and I breathe the air
Although I don't belong
I am beast by society
And I'm growing strong
I am the evil that you fear
The pain that you despise
I am of flesh and blood like you
I am the truth telling lies

I'm the type of person
Your mama warned you about
And when I come even close to you
You want to scream and shout
And when I slowly slaughter you
In your wildest dreams
It is the still of the night
That echoes in your screams

Beast by society

4. Brainscreen

Lying in this darkened room
Makes me go insane
Remembering the times we had
I'm crying out your name
- I won't forget

You left me here in solitude
Made me feel so small
Making ashes of my life
You have caused my fall
- somehow I do regret

In my memory there are words
Better left unsaid
You went away, I'm all alone
And still you're in my head
- poisoned memories

I've got my feet back on the ground
but still I'm feeling sad
The hate is gone, what's left behind
Disappointment in my head
- disappointment in my head

5. No One But Me

Suddenly it's back again - slowly I begin to freeze
Same scene - a different dream
Crawling naked on my knees

Truth is, I speak for no one but me
While I'm losing my mind
Really, I speak for no one but me

Don't know what's right or wrong
Walking barefoot through my brain
I was blind, but now I see
It's not you, it's caused by me

I grew up to become a child
Will it all end up in a mess
Thinkin' 'bout my faults drives me wild
It's ridiculous more or less

Don't ask me what you can do
Choice is yours - let it flow
I once said, "the times they change
And stay the same?!"... I know!!!

6. Swallow

Wash away the sins from me
Take away the fears
Fill the cup with the blood I bleed
Followed by some tears

I lay my soul into your hands
Won't you keep it warm
A grim reflection of you and me
Please, do me no harm

A hammer to the forehead
It makes me think of you
A hammer to my forehead
Now what am I gonna do?

Swallow the bitter pill
All the lies they make me ill
All my nightmares are fulfilled
Swallow the bitter pill (2x)

Why can't you explain?
I do not understand
your anger crushes my face
the blood is on your hands

7. Count The Cost

Living in a circle full of pain
Looking forward to the end to come
No need listening to what you explain
We all know who are the responsible ones

They're laughing while we are lost
We'll pay the price they'll count the cost
On a summer's day we feel the frost
We'll pay the price they'll count the cost

How can we see when we are blind
If they are coming from behind
Sometimes it's hard for us to see
Why they break the creative spines and let us bleed

"THERE IS NO PARADISE TO FIND
FOR THAT IT'S WORTH TO BLEED
THOSE WHO CAN'T SEE WILL STAY BLIND
IGNORE THIS FORM OF GREED
WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO MAKE 'EM SEE
THERE'S NO LAND OF DREAMS
A CHEAT CAN'T END YOUR POVERTY
BY NO MANNER OF MEANS"

...still we're in a circle full of pain
Looking forward to the end to come
Nothing to lose and not a thing to gain
We all know who are the responsible ones

8. At The Tomb

The crowd surrounds the deep dark hole - they all wear black
Martyrs of their own minds but the tears will be held back
Is it a privilege to feel it can't be worse
Drink to forget - to forget the painful thirst

We are all spectators at the tomb
Looking six feet down
We are all spectators at the tomb
And we all shall drown

All the time they're longing for - eternal night
Twilight hides away the clear
The rain begins to fall and shivers down their spine
The final curtain falls - it falls right here

Caught between two worlds colliding the happiness inside is hiding
When they feel the aching needles - in their veins
Oh, there are so many questions, still they're waiting for the answers
And they feel a presence standing - in the rain

9. My Dying Day

Step into the witness box and proudly make a stand
Spreading the confusion all across the savage land
Revolution constitution confess to the crime
Keep my pride pay the price dead men row not time

My dying day
I'll slowly fade away
My dying day
The pain will go away

Sitting waiting knowing that the time will come but when
Slowly going insane dwelling in this prison cell
May the jury be forgiven guilty lost and found
Hear the prayer to the heavens walking chamber bound
