Lyrics:
Pitch-black darkness
At the bottom of the well
Cold wet stones frame my coffin in this hell
A hollow-eyed grimace
Staring back into my soul
Grief-stricken, pale, there's no sunlight in this hole
for
I am eternal
A king who lost his crown
All the pieces scattered
Counting days down
Forever lost at sea
The vessel sprang a leak and water's rising to my knees
The Lightning strikes twice
A hurricane of notions
Filling out a mold with misguided devotion
I am eternal
A king who lost his crown
All the pieces scattered
Just slightly slightly
Out of my reach
Lie all the answers
Lies everything I need
no purpose by design
a King in my own mind
a King in my own mind
I'm eternal, eternal
the king who lost his crown
the pieces all scattered
I'm eternal a King in my own mind
I am eternal
A king who lost his crown
A king who lost his crown
The pieces
All scattered
Blown away by a constant gust
The pieces
All shattered
A king has lost his crown

Lyrics:
Oh, it is one of those days
When the setting sun is dressed
In a veil of brumous clouds
When the city light retreats
In puddles on your way back home
Oh, it is one of those days
When you need to escape
To a place that comforts most
When the walls close you in
When paranoia sinks in run away
There are places better than this
So hear me I'm screaming: I wanna be
I so wanna be, I so wanna be
Nowhere else, nowhere else but home
Oh, it is one of those days
I could make it all end
With just one word
I could bury it all
And fall prey to the call
It's so dark (when it rains)
And I can't see the lights no more
There are places better than this
So hear me I'm screaming: I wanna be
I so wanna be, I so wanna be
Nowhere else, nowhere else but home
Someone root me up
Someone get me out
Someone tell me that
I do not need to stay
Someone drive me home
Someone carry me
Someone note
I do not want to stay
There are places better than this
So hear me I'm screaming: I wanna be
I so wanna be, I so wanna be
Nowhere else, nowhere else but home

Lyrics:
A copper glow runs through the clouds
Illuminating hearts in doubt
Their faces red with fear and hate
The shadows stretch - a sign of fate
A snowglobe made of hopes and dreams
smashing to pieces, blazing beams
And slowly burning through the sky
A bright red sun comes down tonight
The time has come
To meet your maker
Cry out loud cry in vain
The world will end in roaring flames
As the devil smiles and stands
we will give in and raise our hands
for seven minutes Silence
Chaos erupts, mayhem breaks out
Desperate tries, desperate shouts
Eyes widened, horrified to death
You realize it's your last breath
Every single sliver of relief
Gorged by indifferent and nameless thief
The earth is shaking and
bursting out
Our last cries,
our last vows
Cry out loud cry in vain
The world will end in roaring flames
As the devil smiles and stands
we will give in and raise our hands
for seven minutes -
for seven minutes Silence
A scorched void remains lingering
here where anyone, from pawn to king
lived, died, laughed, cried and left footprints
it is the end of everything
I Cry out loud I cry in vain
The world will end in roaring flames
As the devil smiles and stands
we will give in and raise hands
oh, for seven minutes Silence
