Here I am again between Reason and faith I balance my way With the power flowing through my veins Oh, let’s wake up to another day? Today won’t be like yesterday But face the truth can make you sad In a simple act you change the world Maybe make a crippled man walk, maybe make a blind man see Just do not look back and do the best Your story can be the last Nothing holds you to fly Vita detestabilis Nunc obdurat, et tunc curat Dissolvit ut glaciem Imagine a dream that you’re blind Believe to survive So open the window Let the truth get in? Dream as if you’ll live forever Cross the garden of life Harvesting thorns and throwing roses Live as if you’ll die tomorrow Light a candle in the dark To make your path brighter A past to learn (learn to listen) It’s not the end (end of falsehood) but a second chance A brand new day (a chance to see you’re not so far away) Now I understand how things work Today is a consequence of yesterday On the verge of death I look back And I’ll be proud of everything I’ve done Proud of how I lived

All sensations Lead me to an obscure places New discoveries It’s like a beautiful dream Time flies here, now I need To go deep to get high I’m never satisfied Oblivion’s gate Since I arrived here I forget the meaning of love Since I arrived here I lost many things As well as the whole world have forgotten me “Mr. Pleasure” is my name I won’t fall again I’ll make my own way It’s my last chance To escape from this place When I am using My life seems great I am ready to enter the oblivion’s gate I give myself, I give my soul I’d rather die than come back to reality I am willing to lose my life I made my choice, there’s no regret Now it’s time to pay the price When I see a united people celebrating love Trying to imagine myself But I am here in the same dead end I don’t know if I was chosen or it’s my destiny Before the end of the line I need to get up and move on

Rise 04:47
I remember like it was yesterday Every second of that moment I still feel A brief goodbye and tears started falling down You abandoned me, and left me alone in this world Wait for the sunset regreting the absence Someday we will meet again Look to the sunrise feeling the presence I shall rise and walk forward Since that day I’ve felt a void Since then I’ve regreted all But now I need to live And take with me what I’ve learned I’ll never cry again I’ll make it worth my pain Death is part of the game of life No more sorrow, no more weakness Even not knowing how There’s always a way to lead our fate “I have so many things to tell you …” Wait for the sunset regreting the absence Someday we will meet again Look to the sunrise feeling the presence shall rise and walk forward Wait for the sunset regreting the absence Someday we will meet again

Immortality 04:46
The decision has been made There’s no reason to stay This world is so cold In an act of despair There’s no control of thoughts and choices I do not belong here All the hope is gone I’m an unbeliever Pull the trigger now Feel the peace of mind What is dead may never die All is passing through my eyes All my fights I lost in vain A miserable life I’m living like a ghost Tell me, why people never looked at me? No strength to go on Tomorrow will not come All the hope is gone I’m an unbeliever Pull the trigger now Feel the peace of mind What is dead may never die What is dead may never die
5.
The iron beast is moving Quickly and full of dreams Crossing the hell Built by a greedy man Destined for a better life They traveled thousands miles Through unknown and dangerous places Burial ground of immigrants Sing your death song And die like a hero going home For those who are born without a choice For those who are damned to poverty When I awake from this nightmare Everything will be ok Hope is a waking dream Face the beast within When I reach to the end I will live again In a different way There’s only wind and speed At the top of the wagon Strengthens the cold bones of all Hope of better days Men, women, children God doesn’t seem to exist Finally, the journey came to an end Don’t regret, don’t drown in tears Finally, you will rest in peace All the pain has gone away “En el corazón de todos los inviernos vive una primavera palpitante, y detrás de cada noche, viene una aurora sonriente. Nunca será tarde para buscar un mundo mejor si en el empeño ponemos coraje y esperanza.”

We were left in a decaying world The hidden face of an evil society Look around, there’s death everywhere The inhuman humanity rots without conscience Cry, feel, die, 666 Meaningless – Life becomes a shade Black soul – Intolerance prevails Revenge – A wicked mind Those values are wasted The creator should let us die Man you know, the time is running out We’ll need a plan so choose the right side Don’t be part of this genocide Many people die inside Without sense for their lives It’s time to say goodbye It’s time to pay the price At the end we live and die As one day This is your last song This is your last chance No more lies and crimes No more empty words
7.
Open your eyes and face the end Say goodbye to those you love Tell them how selfish you were The world as you know it now will end So many signs were given So many chances to see what you’ve done, extinction level event An ordinary death, the world we have created will be buried in ice Just understand The mother earth is dying You broke the cycle of life and ended it all Just go ahead And try to figure out You‘re a destructive race, you lack the will to change Oh, I hear you Oh, I fear you Oh, forgive me, take me with you Now the time has come for all your sons Our climate is very brittle Global warming can trigger a cooling trend Melting the polar ice caps Generating a huge anomaly Welcome to the end Remember the smell of flowers And the blue sky Even in the end The heart still beats The sun still warms
8.
The sun goes down for the last time, strive to survive Run, try to hide, there’s no turning back Smell of death in the air, hate and pain to exterminate us The future dies today, the event has begun I’ve heard that life goes on I’ve heard that I was wrong But none of that matters now Chaos and despair, deaths everywhere It is the prelude to the end of life Drag me to hell And burn my soul I shall return as dust to the ground Here lies a man Who lost control An extinction level event Sins of a fallen empire The evil within you Fulfilled prophecy for the gods No tomorrow for the men An empire falling by sins, will stay in the past The world is just a memory Abandoned in the past Frozen in holy choices, a new beginning Frozen in holy choices Sentenced to an end and a new beginning Wise nations will survive Hidden in their Noah’s ark Ensure the continuity of our way of life Enough to start over and create a new world Drag me down Burn my soul I shall return as dust to the ground And here lies a man The one who lost control Drag me down, drag me Burn my soul, burn me The extinction level event Look at the horizon
9.
Look at the horizon, open your eyes Believe what you see The sun is shining again And doesn’t look as before The river is flowing again The trees are green again Grass grows, birds sing, wounds heal Maybe it was all just a nightmare Maybe there’s still time to live A past to learn It’s not the end but a second chance A brand new day Great heroes have died Huge cities have fallen You are alive to start again Through the invisible horizons Embrace your dreams And do it right this time I hope you have found out what you know, who you are I hope you have seen the consequences of your actions No matter what, no matter how, life goes on Make it worth, once and for all
