Album Lyrics

1. The Awakening

Standing at the crossroad, waiting for the storm
I can feel it coming on the wings of dawn
For many years it seems I’ve walked alone

Down the long way home…

2. River of Pain

I don’t believe in tomorrows – you’ll never change my point of view
My fears and sorrows running down my spine, I tell you
I watch my people dying, I watch them go, I don’t know where…
The skies are crying, washing out their blood into the

The river runs away
(Turns red and looks like vein)
The river shows the way
(Away from bloody rain)

(River of pain)

The gods of war are calling, I hear their voices in the wind
The sun is falling – another day is gone, another sin
I see the star of sadness is touching bodies on the ground…
Somebody’s madness just took my life and turned it upside down!

The river runs away
(Turns red and looks like vein)
The river shows the way
(Away from bloody rain)

(River of pain) we’re all betrayed and sold
(River of pain) my land is dead and cold
(River of pain) when I close my eyes
(River of pain) the spirit never dies
(River of pain)

My time has come I’m leaving, my mind is tearing me apart
I wanna die believing in common sense and wisdom of my heart

The river runs away
(Turns red and looks like vein)
The river shows the way
(Away from bloody rain)

(River of pain) we’re all betrayed and sold
(River of pain) my land is dead and cold
(River of pain) when I close my eyes
(River of pain) the spirit never dies
(River of pain)

“They forget that they are human like us. They forget that what they have done to us, we can do to them. They forget. Well, I won’t let them forget! I won’t let them! I’m going there! I’m going to their town, to their home, and I will meet you there!”

3. Tearing Down the World

Every empire was raised by the slave
Built through the ages, destroyed in a day
Solid walls – your golden cage
Now it’s time to turn the page…

Tearing down – we’re gonna burn it
To the ground – you’ll never learn it
Watch us now – we’re tearing down the world, tearing down the world

Brother to brother, father to son
No one recalls when the madness began – and nobody cares!
Can you live your life in hell?
Can’t you hear the warning bell…?

Tearing down – we’re gonna burn it
To the ground – you’ll never learn it
Watch us now – we’re tearing down the world, tearing down the world
Tearing down – by bits and pieces
To the ground – we’ll never miss it
Watch us now – we’re tearing down the world, tearing down the world

Water’s like acid and heaven’s like hell
Whole world’s like paper and steel
What should we do if it won’t ring a bell?
Tell me just what do you feel?

Drink out the ocean and stare down the stars
Burn down the forest and steal food from the hungry
You made it so far
Tell me just what do you… feel?

Tearing down – we’re gonna burn it
To the ground – you’ll never learn it
Watch us now – we’re tearing down the world…
Tearing down – by bits and pieces
To the ground – we’ll never miss it
Watch us now – we’re tearing down the world, oh, oh

4. Message to God

The one who’s watching over my shoulder – get a life!
I see your arms are nailed to the cross, but your eyes are so alive
I never thought you’re lying but now it’s turned you round and round…
So many hearts are dying – you let them down
Over and over again…
Over and over again…

We’re busy burning witches the way we learned from you
We’re good at killing creatures, so teach us something new (come on!)
One of your own creations is kind of hard to understand
Oh You, freak of nature (freak of nature) – just tell me why did you create us men?

Traces on the floor, I can’t hear the door closing me
Right inside my dream, it’s a sign from him – let me be
Sunrise through the dust – future is the past – chasing me
Shadows on the wall, voices down the halls – calling me
Over and over and over and over again…
Over and over again

(Can’t reach you, can’t meet you)
I give you everything I’ve got
(You hear me, don’t leave me)
It is my message to you, God
(Can’t see you, can’t feel you)
I’ve lost just everything I’ve got
(Forget me, you’ve left me)
It is my message to you, God
(Can’t reach you, can’t meet you)
I give you everything I’ve got
(You hear me, don’t leave me)
It is my message to you, God
(Can’t see you, can’t feel you)
I’ve lost just everything I’ve got
(Forget me, you’ve left me)
It is my message to you
(You God)
(…)

5. Long Way Home

When the night is calling… I shut another door
Celebrating loneliness I’ve never known before…
I miss a place to call my own…
It’s a long way home…

In my open prison cell, here’s everything I’ve got
I disappeared in silence, every word I’ve said is not
And now I’m lost and all alone…
It’s a long way home…

It’s a long road, and even longer for the blind
And I’ve been searching way too long
Still I can’t find the place where I belong…
It’s a long way home…

You see me suffer on my knees (I wish I knew just what it means)
You watch us come, you watch us go (he tells me something I don’t know)
You’ve set me up, I thought I’m free (just tell me where you wanna be?)
Another step and I’ll be gone (what you will do can be undone…)

(Long road) but even longer for the blind
And I’ve been searching way too long…
(I can’t find) the place where I belong
It’s a long way home…
(Long road) but even longer for the blind
And I’ve been searching way too long…
(I can’t find) the place where I belong
It’s a long way home…

6. Time Will Tell

You shut the door, you let me hang myself
You’ve turned your back on me and now I’m gone…
So listen, ask yourself, can you undo what I’ve done?…

You told me lies, you’ve tried to put me down
You showed me hell because that’s where I’ve been
I hope you happy now – I didn’t like what I have seen

Yes, I do appreciate
You’re the one who gave this kind of fate to me
But I can’t wait until…

(Time will tell) you’re on your feet so far, but only
(Time will tell) how long it’s gonna last!
(Time will tell) you’re reaching for the star, but only
(Time will tell) if shadows from the past will bring you hell…

You just can’t get enough, you broke my heart…
You are so rich now you can ski uphill
I tear my life apart – you never ask me how I feel…

Life is going down the drain
You got pleasure, all I got is pain
You’re driving me insane!

(Time will tell) you’re on your feet so far, but only
(Time will tell) how long it’s gonna last!
(Time will tell) you’re reaching for the star, but only
(Time will tell) …if shadows from the past… will bring you hell…
(Time will tell)
(Time will tell) how long it’s gonna last!
(Time will tell) you’re reaching for the star, but only
(Time will tell) if shadows from the past will bring you hell…
(Time will tell) you’re on your feet so far, but only
(Time will tell) how long it’s gonna last!
(Time will tell) you’re reaching for the star, but only
(Time will tell) if shadows from the past will bring you hell…

(Rest your weary head my son, all your trouble’s just begun)
(Close your eyes, unchain your heart – help you God…)
(Full of hate as you have always been)
(Drop your gun ‘cause anger is the sin…)

(Rest your weary head my son, all your trouble’s just begun)

7. Silent Scream

White dress, torture in disguise
Pointing flashlight right into my eyes
Sharp pain every single night
Every day I fight a hopeless fight

And look, over thirty years I’ve wished that I was dead
Somebody help me out, because I’m tied down to my bed…

(I’m looking for) someone to release me
(I’m waiting for) an angel from my dream
(I’m talking to) to all of you around me
(I’m asking you) tell me, can you hear my silent scream?

(Dear God) gave me such a life full of pain
(It’s sharp just like a knife)
I can think, but I cannot tell
What’s life to you, to me is hell

I hear the storm outside – first drop just hit the roof
I’d die to see the rain, but I can’t ???? move

(I’m looking for) someone to release me
(I’m waiting for) an angel from my dream
(I’m talking to) to all of you around me
(If living is my cross, so let me die or crucify me now)
(But tell me, can you hear my silent scream?)

Time stays still (time stays still)
Only I can feel (only I can feel)
When the darkness will appear (when the darkness will appear)
Every day (every day) I wished away
Oh please, please take away my fear…

(I’m looking for) someone to release me
(I’m waiting for) an angel from my dream
(I’m talking to) to all of you around me
(I’m asking you) tell me, can you hear my silent scream?
Yeah, yeah, yeah

8. It’s Over

Look, broken moon shines through the clouds so restless
Cold, even light just touched the hill of sadness
(…Flashback…) it all happens again
Traces of tears will be washed off by rain

(Over, over)
I look I’m going down, but you can’t see anything
(Over, over)
(The king is dead – long live the king!)

I’m on the same path to the cross – as last time
They’ll crucify me once again
You’ve broken my heart, as you did it before
Judas I’ll wait, come and knock at my door…

(Over, over)
I look I’m going down, but you can’t see anything
(Over, over)
(The king is dead – long live the king!)

(Over, over)
I look I’m going down, but you can’t see anything
(Over, over)
(The king is dead – long live the king!)
Again!

It was a long way home…
