I like to bury myself in pain
You know what I mean
I like to suffocate in all my memories
Until I cannot breathe
So I can taste again
How hard it is
To have a frozen heart inside my chest
That only beats but doesn't feel
The walls inside the room
Are closing in
I cannot see a door
A little sparkle of light
I cannot see any hope
I wonder
Is it all my fault?
Is it because of me?
Is it because I never cared enough?
And now I pay for this
Cosa ne rimane della mia anima nera?
Cosa ne rimane della mia anima nera?
Cosa ne rimane della mia anima nera?

Sword Of Anger
We are the anima
Ride
We came
Rising from the dark
We've been riding for so long
It's coming
Many things to overcome
Always learning from our past
Bringing vengeance from the gods
Never lost our way
We don't heed you
The sword of anger
Will cut in the deep
Still moving alone
We feel no pain
We don't heed you
Beyond the blackness
We find harmony
Never belong
Always chained to the sorrow
Never hide behind remorse
Silent ghosts
Of what once was
Rising from the shadow
We've crossed to the other side
And never lost our way
We don't heed you
The sword of anger
Will cut in the deep
Still moving alone
We feel no pain
We don't heed you
Beyond the blackness
We find harmony
Never belong
Still running alone
With no interest in what you say
To free ourselves from the boundaries
Let's breathe reeling into the darkness
Swimming past all the hatred
Overcoming our failures
Beyond the surface
We dig in the deep
There's more to us than you will never see
More
Feel no pain
The sword of anger
Will cut in the deep
Still moving alone
We feel no pain
We don't heed you
Beyond the blackness
We find harmony
Never lost our way
We don't heed you
The sword of anger
Will cut in the deep
Still moving alone
We feel no pain
We don't heed you
Beyond the blackness
We find harmony
Never belong
Ride
We came
Rising from the dark
We've been riding for so long
It's coming
Many things to overcome
Always learning from our past
Bringing vengeance from the gods

Will cut in the deep
Still moving alone
We feel no pain
We don't heed you

Reckless
I like to bury myself in pain
You know what I mean
I like to suffocate in all my memories
Until I cannot breathe
So I can taste again
How hard it is
To have a frozen heart inside my chest
That only beats but doesn't feel
The walls inside the room
Are closing in
I cannot see a door
A little sparkle of light
I cannot see any hope
I wonder
Is it all my fault?
Is it because of me?
Is it because I never cared enough?
And now I pay for this
Cosa ne rimane della mia anima nera?
Cosa ne rimane della mia anima nera?
Cosa ne rimane della mia anima nera?

Layers Of Time
Layers of time
Layers of time
I live the life I left behind
A story born of scars and strifes
My heart is blind and frozen
I'm among snakes, I'm well disguised
Healers and dealers of this time
The poison enters every night
Well disguised
Victims of time
We take our chance again
Our road is paved with pain
The past we can't rewind
Building this life, still trapped inside
I think I've lost the storyline
Forever hurt and broken
I swear I'll get out alive
Burning the bridges built behind
My life's reloading every night
Out alive
Victims of time
We take our chance again
Our road is paved with pain
The past we can't rewind
Blaze
Twisting, turning
Through the baptism of fire
Burning angels falling
Through the spiral of time
Twisting, turning
Through the baptism of fire
Burning angels falling
Through the spiral of time
Twisting, turning
Through the baptism of fire
Burning angels falling
Through the spiral of time
Twisting, turning
Through the baptism of fire
Burning angels falling
Through the spiral of time
Through layers of time
We'll live again
Forget the past
We'll be alright
Victims of time
We take our chance again
The road is paved with pain
Keep walking
We'll find the way
Layers of time
Layers of time
Layers of time
I live the life I left behind
A story born of scars and strifes
My heart is blind and frozen
I'm among snakes, I'm well disguised

Apocalypse
While you pray
We don't care
While you pray
Apocalypse
It's going down
This time
And I'm surprisingly alive
We've been condemned again
Guilty of our innocence
Do you preach about the revelation
So far from evolution
You're far from the solution
While you pray
We start a revolution
You don't care
And celebrate your lies
While you pray
You're far from absolution
We don't care
We leave it all behind
We don't care
Tell me all about your life
Looking at the sand gliding down
Through the hourglass
Here we are again
We know only time will tell
Let the fate decide
Right here
Staring in each other's eyes
Trusting in each other's lies
You're far from the solution
While you pray
We start a revolution
You don't care
And celebrate your lies
While you pray
You're far from absolution
We don't care
We leave it all behind
While you pray
We start a revolution
You don't care
And celebrate your lies
While you pray
You're far from absolution
We don't care
We leave it all behind
We don't care

Now Or Never
I like to bury myself in pain
You know what I mean

The walls inside the room

Is it because I never cared enough?

The End Is All I Can See
I am just realizing
This pain is almost like salvation
Keeps coming back to me
Protects me from the voice of madness
Clean away my sins
'Cause I want to be with you
Now please answer my prayers
'Cause the end is all I can see
Twisting and turning anxiety moves in
Is coiling inside me, the evil within
Stinging and burning, consumes me with guilt
It plays with my senses then crawls out of me
Clean away my sins
'Cause I want to be with you
Now please answer my prayers
'Cause the end is all I can see
No one answered my prayers
There is nothing left here for me
Now you need to burn it down
Let's give it all an end
I'm caught inside a maze
I need to get out of this
Trapped inside
A prison in disguise
I keep running around in circles
Stuck on repeat again
Clean away my sins
'Cause I want to be with you
Now please answer my prayers
'Cause the end is all I can see
(Burn it down)
Clean away my sins
'Cause I want to be with you
(Down)
Now please answer my prayers
(Burn it down)
'Cause the end is all I can see
(Down)
This pain is almost like salvation
Keeps coming back to me
Protects me from the voice of madness
Clean away my sins
'Cause I want to be with you
Now please answer my prayers
'Cause the end is all I can see
Twisting and turning anxiety moves in
Is coiling inside me, the evil within
Stinging and burning, consumes me with guilt
It plays with my senses then crawls out of me
Clean away my sins
'Cause I want to be with you
Now please answer my prayers
'Cause the end is all I can see
No one answered my prayers
There is nothing left here for me
Now you need to burn it down
Let's give it all an end

I need to get out of this
Trapped inside
A prison in disguise
I keep running around in circles
Stuck on repeat again
Clean away my sins
'Cause I want to be with you
Now please answer my prayers
'Cause the end is all I can see

Clean away my sins
'Cause I want to be with you
(Down)
Now please answer my prayers

Save Me
Save me from myself
I can't help it, I'm breaking down
Save me from myself
I could use your faith right now
My skin is crawling and feel this pressure
Rushing from the inside out
I am lost right now
My mind is racing
Inside I'm cursing
Burning in my darkest thoughts again
So I keep asking myself
(Will I) Will I be strong enough to face this mess?
(So I) Stand here begging for help
(We are) The only humans walking through this hell
Save me from myself
I could use you faith, I'm breaking down
Depressed and hopeless
And held in despair
Don't know how to find a way to release myself
I'm going crazy
So close to getting out
Lies beneath, feels like it used to be
So I keep asking myself
(Will I) Will I be strong enough to face this mess?
(So I) Stand here begging for help
(We are) The only humans walking through this hell
And what remains is the shadow of my past
I look in the mirror and hate what I see
I don't recognise my face anymore
And wonder where all of my dreams are gone
Feeling lost and empty
I know I can't turn back time
But I just don't want to give up
I can't give up
Save me from myself
I could use you faith, I'm breaking down
So I keep asking myself
(Will I) Will I be strong enough to face this mess?
(So I) Stand here begging for help
(We are) The only humans walking through this hell
I can't help it, I'm breaking down
Save me from myself
I could use your faith right now
My skin is crawling and feel this pressure
Rushing from the inside out
I am lost right now
My mind is racing
Inside I'm cursing
Burning in my darkest thoughts again
So I keep asking myself
(Will I) Will I be strong enough to face this mess?
(So I) Stand here begging for help
(We are) The only humans walking through this hell
Save me from myself
I could use you faith, I'm breaking down
Depressed and hopeless
And held in despair
Don't know how to find a way to release myself
I'm going crazy
So close to getting out
Lies beneath, feels like it used to be
So I keep asking myself
(Will I) Will I be strong enough to face this mess?
(So I) Stand here begging for help
(We are) The only humans walking through this hell
And what remains is the shadow of my past
I look in the mirror and hate what I see

And wonder where all of my dreams are gone
Feeling lost and empty
I know I can't turn back time
But I just don't want to give up
I can't give up
Save me from myself
I could use you faith, I'm breaking down
So I keep asking myself
(Will I) Will I be strong enough to face this mess?
(So I) Stand here begging for help
(We are) The only humans walking through this hell

Black Anima
The calm before the storm
Clouds are moving in anticipation
I'm longing for the rain to wash it all away
Slowly I am losing control (losing control)
What's on the other side of the clouds?
It's time to let go
Release all control
Destroy everything
Rebuild it again
Let go
The countdown has begun
Control
Delete everything
Destroy
Erase and rewind
Rebuild
Repeat
Go
Together we'll erase the suffering
Smash
Disarray
Our world is afraid
And falling
Pain
We are chasing the ghost that's trapped inside
I can see your anima
Together we'll erase the suffering
Smash
Disarray
Our world is afraid
And falling
Pain
We are chasing the ghost that's trapped inside
You and me
Against the world
Break
When you're feeling all hope is lost
Smash
You are not alone
In a world of disarray
Disarray
All the walls that keep us separated
Chaos
We will break them all
And reunite
Rise
And when I'll be gone
You'll keep our legacy alive
Clouds are moving in anticipation
I'm longing for the rain to wash it all away
Slowly I am losing control (losing control)
What's on the other side of the clouds?
It's time to let go
Release all control
Destroy everything
Rebuild it again
Let go
The countdown has begun
Control
Delete everything
Destroy
Erase and rewind
Rebuild
Repeat
Go
Together we'll erase the suffering
Smash
Disarray
Our world is afraid
And falling
Pain
We are chasing the ghost that's trapped inside
I can see your anima
Together we'll erase the suffering
Smash
Disarray
Our world is afraid
And falling
Pain
We are chasing the ghost that's trapped inside
You and me
Against the world
Break
When you're feeling all hope is lost
Smash
You are not alone
In a world of disarray
Disarray
All the walls that keep us separated
Chaos
We will break them all
And reunite
Rise
And when I'll be gone
You'll keep our legacy alive
