I still got nothing to add to such beautiful words I just keep listening She knows I'm watching her moves She's not afraid and I'm not leaving. Open your mind and be our guide To the place we're searching for. Take our hands and lead the way And never let us get away. Could someone take my burden and carry it all the way While keep feeding my heart with her sight And I'm still flying around And getting closer so I can smell her dying. Bloodthirsty and stunning A vilture or prey I taste every moment of hunting for her But I need her alive It doesn't make sense Yet still when I'm done I'll do what I've planned Open your mind and be our guide To the place we're searching for. Take our hands and lead the way And never let us get away. You've changed the colours of everything Now I can see the truth Replaced the dark by the light. Pressed down and flattered at the same time Pressed hard and flattered. Flattering smile Flattering faces Flattering smile. Could someone take my burden and carry it all the way. Behind those bars we are waiting for the sign to guide us.

I can't stand this sickness and all those ugly faces Everything around me brings my fever on Do you really want to rot Don't you wanna rise above? With those worms underground You would rather stay. You had a choice to make That's what I thought But I don't know If I was right or you were right Or both were wrong. Make your mind resist Escape from this nightmare You won't be afraid Of being alone at your own place, You won't fear It could be eternal, neverending to talk to myself and feel the regrets. But it's not the way out. I can't stand this sickness and all those ugly faces I gave you all what I could give I'd let you know I didn't care You will rot underground All I want is get some sleep And wake up with clean hands However I think that I could keep These memories to remember how I felt When I was a human being. Remember how it was before, The traitors.

I'm so tired to see the way my friends get sick Of the people that need to find a prey They will suck you dry of all you have. I just want to say that you are not the ones To bury your free lives under the slavery stone Don't let them do that if you are in mind. I'm telling the truth just try to listen but you don't even try to hear me So that is your choice I won't bother you. I chose to stay away from such parasites Without that feed they will die If you want me to advise I'll tell you what to do Don't trust don't care and don't depend. At so called home I was left alone You spilled my bowl My bowl of anger My bowl of wrath. No air to breathe in The nerves like soldiers in a battle Orange lights through dirty windows Stare like burning eyes at flowers. No love to fall in It's gone and no one's gonna bring it Back to the hearts that left some bloodstains All over their hearts and gloves. My words are sounds My hands are mouths My heart is meat No feel, no need. No voice to be heard No smile to make others laugh. No eyes to be seen No heart to make others love 'Cause I don't remember how to love. Everything is gone. Turn around and go straight on To the place you feel good at Not the one you've been told to go. These beautiful voices in my ears Could set up new magnificent buildings For us to live in the newest world There will be our own rules. I often see us in my dreams enjoy the dawn I know that better days are coming. I'm glad to see the way my friends get free Of those who tried and failed to send us to the prison of "life"

Black Peaks 04:12
We packed the bags And moved out Somewhere unknown Somewhere better No one (out of the seas) Will find (to the black peaks) (through grey clouds) Us in there. To the ancient city mankind had never seen before To satisfy the strongest wish of something more. No one (out of the seas) Will find (to the black peaks) (through grey clouds) Us in there. I can't express the fear we underwent When we found out the truth about us. We packed the bags And ran away Somewhere unknown Somewhere better. No one (out of the seas) Will find (to the black peaks) (through grey clouds) Us in there. We're heading to the stars on the wings of the ruthless wind Taking no regrets with us, leaving everything we did. What do you pray for? Who will you praise to the skies? If only I could've brought you round You'd see how dead you are. Моё тело изжило Изжило себя А пока возвращался Растерял всё и вся Сознанье до дрожи Окутал тот смрад Я бежал, я бежал, я бежал И я был не прав.

We're used to the things that make the life so easy They were never made for that And we refused to believe that. They made us forget what the real freedom is False meaning of freedom is the great weapon against people. We enjoy the beauty of the dawn on the screen We love listening to nature from our amplifiers Soon we'll record all the smells and there will be no need To go fucking out. Not many of us still live Not many of us still love Not many of us still care that nobody's free
