Open Wounds 03:15
lyrics
buy track
Tonight we fight! As I expected, there’s nothing we can do Cut my strings set me free Pull out my teeth Let me breathe --- Glory Fades Mistakes remain Open wounds on a dead man’s chest --- Looks like we are losing again Looks like we are fading away - Can you guess my name? Can you forgive What I said? --- Glory Fades Mistakes remain Open wounds on a dead man’s chest

Fading Lights 02:57
lyrics

I’m hearing voices in my head They are so loud I can’t pretend -- This city takes the best of me my will to live My will to leave -- Welcome to the edge Can you feel the noose tight in your throat? Is this the end? Are we scared enough to face ourselves? --- I’m hearing voices in my head We are fading lights, we are fading lights They are so loud I can´t pretend We are fading lights, we are fading lights --- And it gets so loud I can´t even breath It gets so loud I can’t even hear It gets so dark It gets so dark -- We are fading lights, we are fading lights --- I’m hearing voices in my head We are fading lights, we are fading lights They are so loud I can´t pretend We are fading lights, we are fading lights

Fake Your Own Death 02:18
lyrics
buy track
The wolves are here With the shepherd’s skin The crows came down to take your eyes Castle walls fell down, there is nothing left, there is nothing left Except the pretty lies And the painful truth Our great escape was our greatest failure We were something else, we were far away -- And I know there’s nothing much to embrace There are still some shreds Of who I was have some things I’d like to say Mark my words And Fake your own death -- This is not my home I’m not coming back -- And I know there’s nothing much to embrace There are still some shreds Of who I was have some things I’d like to say Mark my words And Fake your own death

I’m tired of always leaning on this bullshit Your bullshit --- Head trauma where have you gone? Head trauma Won´t you take me home? --- You could have it all Yeah! --- You’ve been around For so many years I hate you I fucking hate you --- You could have it all Yeah!

The Fight, The Fire 03:15
lyrics
buy track
There was a fight, There was a fire Meaningless points of view Echoes from our last generation We are going nowhere Staying still through final days Is there something else you wish to say? - There was a fight, There was a fire Empty words in hollowed heads Singing hymns about Rust and Ruin our city is burning embers of our greatest days ashen skies and broken ways again --- We remained silent So that our backs won’t feel the bar --- There was a fight, There was a fire Purple hearts pouring down the streets bleeding voices soaring for the voiceless Protect their temple vultures looking for some meat Can’t you feel the gloaming in the clear? --- We remained silent So that our backs won’t feel the bar --- We are not survivng We are just reacting --- We remained silent So that our backs won’t feel the bar --- There was a fight There was a fire

Nothing to Prove, Nothing to Hide 02:20
lyrics
buy track
nobody expects anything from us We were the last to arrive and the first to leave this place -- We were young and wild As we walked the wasteland of broken glass and shattered skies __ Give me something to believe something to believe If we are going down, you are going down with me __ We were the kings In the age of fire tongues and wooden minds -- We were the slaves Of these goddamn arsonists with nothing to prove, nothing to hide __ Give me something to believe something to believe If we are going down, you are going down with me __ Time Waits For no one Life Makes Its way -- If you ever wonder how We ended up like this Please go outside And watch me disappear

Hollis Lespere 01:52
lyrics
buy track
Voy flotando etéreo. Partimos de Babel. Un salto al vacío, un ataque al infinito. Somos prisioneros de la cruda inmensidad y abordamos los problemas desde otra perspectiva aun con la rabia introspectiva que porto en mi traje sideral. Rumbo a la flor ardiente, los rayos en el alma son la única recompensa. Alejándonos unos de otros, sobrevolando el caos. Las lagunas en los recuerdos las rellenan las estrenas y estas unidas por el polvo conforman nuestra vida.

Adrift With Me 02:33
lyrics
buy track
Give me your name Come adrift with me Burn our bridges to the ground - Is the mist our home? Can we trust the undertow? --- Are we sinking ships? Looking for an end Are we sinking ships? Gasping for a shore to rest --- Open roads Shallow corridors Old scars Remember who you are --- Are we sinking ships? Looking for an end Are we sinking ships? Gasping for a shore to rest --- Every path I’ve chosen In each step I take Destination doesn’t matter What matters is the way - Wave goodbye my dear He said to his love If you trust me, I’ll guide you home - Even though I know there’s no time to waste Take away this fear inside my head, just inside my head --- Are we sinking ships? Looking for an end Are we sinking ships? Gasping for a shore to rest

The Foreigner 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Well if this is the end why I’m not more afraid? This world’s falling apart is there someone to blame? --- Like a Kaleidoscope Hurling to the unknown No one’s going home --- We are miles apart I’m still hearing your voice Like Meursault, should I care? Just another bad day. --- Look me in the eyes Damn you, I was right This is our last dance. --- Do we stand a chance? or we lose ourselves? (Over and over again) Do we stand our ground? Should we run away? (Over and over again) -- we can do this all day We ain't got nothing left

Away from here Away From here ---------- Give me everything you are Tonight Check the mainlines Check my vital signs Give it up give it up give it up here right now Here we fall --- Everything we trust turns into grey Every time we lose ourselves something goes away All my life, all this time All petty untruthful smiles We’ve been warned: Just stay in line all the things we once said burn away, burn away --- Our last minute, Would you cross the line? Are we mental, Or are we waking up? ----- Everything we trust turns into grey Every time we lose ourselves something goes away All my life, all this time All petty untruthful smiles We’ve been warned: Just stay in line all the things we once said burn away, burn away

Open Arms 03:38
lyrics
buy track
Can you stop for a minute now? I think we should talk Are we reluctant to show our scars Of how these years have changed us? --- Wait for me As I learn to walk again Wait for me Open Arms for the unknown --- Do you wanna be somewhere else? I think you should be We are dancing in a crowded room And no one is watching —- Wait for me As I learn to walk again Wait for me Open Arms for the unknown —- I’m the only one who choose The path to take, the way to end Open wounds to show my trust Open arms for what comes next
