For The World 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Look around and what you see you can't believe Turn around there's evil lurking at your back Misfortune, starvation, torture in the world How we treat each other in this torment of souls Try to change the world in a day you think all is in vain causing nothing but pain Think what will be lost the future will pay for the crimes of today Why you turn your back to the cries of the world? How can you stare without giving a helping hand? So soon the hand of fate will rise to meet you and if we fall the death will take its toll When we see behind the stories we've only just heard paralyzed by the truth we're too afraid to act One human can't undo the actions of the masses but one by one they will see the truth

Out Of My Hands 03:55
lyrics

First time in my life I am powerless There's nothing more I can do for you First time in my life I am helpless There's nothing more I can say to you This life, I give to you, is out of my hands There's nothing more, I can do, than wait for you This life, I give to you, is out of my hands All I can, I will do, have some faith Please say something to me Send me a sign that I'm doing something right Please do something for me Send me a sign that I've done something right I will never stop trying to save you I'll never give up, never give in I will never stop trying to help you I will always keep on fighting

Prisoners Of The Past 05:36
lyrics

You cannot deny what I've seen You don't know where I've been All these places locked inside my head All these voices want me dead You cannot deny what I've done You won't defy what I'll do Years I've wondered where I am Years I've wandered all around Locked inside my mind I can see no way out Future is unclear but it's past that I fear Cannot escape things that I've done Cannot rewrite history that is wrong I want to forget but I cannot let go I want to start over but I don't know how I've seen a thousand days alike Never-ending twilight in my dreams I tried to escape this nightmare and I'm awakened in the same dream again I tried to change my way of life but it's all the same again I'm following my steps back to the end and from the start I'll find myself again Time still flows towards the end I know my days are numbered it's one of the few things we share Time will wait for no one I tried to tell you but now I see Your time is up you have to go But before, I want you to know It was worth the pain 'cause now I know

This Is Not About Me 04:39
lyrics
buy track
Crossed paths a long time ago Future was unclear and I closed the door hiding all your past crimes of love and hate I only saw what I wanted to believe Someone always opens the cursed door of past love and hate of all your darkest secrets Crossed me in my mind Last straw in the pile to break you're showing your true nature that you don't see yourself You only see what you want to You close the doors behind your back skeletons are still hidden secrets in the darkness You always want to blame me You always want to hate me You always know where to find me You can never escape me I accuse me even if you don't I hate me even if you won't I cursed my life a long time ago 'cause I did not see that this tale is not about me Got you under my skin We wage wars from within You prepare your revenge I got up my defense Is this only in my head? Or are you in here too? Why I'm doing this to me? I only want to be free You always want to blame me You never really knew me You always know where to hide from me I can never escape from thee Hatred clouds the visions Skies darkened from our own reactions Will war of the worlds ever seize without actions of peace will you be the first one to say the words of truth or will I be the last to open the door of the past

Hope Is Not Gone 06:01
lyrics

Too many worlds torn apart Too many lives lost in vain Too many futures burnt in flames Too many ashes scattered in rain You hide behind the lies in plain sight So long my friends this has to end Something must be done before all is gone Rain is falling down from the sky My eyes are searching for rays of hope This planet keeps burning still You're killing the light, we have to fight before it's too late to avoid the fate I won't accept that the hope is gone Too much to ask now days Too much to hide from the public eye So long my friends this has to end Something must be done before all is gone Rain is falling down from the sky My eyes are searching for rays of hope This planet keeps burning still You're killing the light, we have to fight before it's too late to avoid the fate I won't accept that the hope is gone Wake up my child I've lost my sun I will not lose you We got work to do Wake up before it's too late You hide behind the lies in plain sight So long my friends this has to end Something must be done before all is gone Rain is falling down from the sky My eyes are searching for rays of hope This planet keeps burning still You're killing the light, we have to fight before it's too late to avoid the fate Can't you see that the hope is not gone

Sleepwalking Awake 04:19
lyrics

Why there's a siren howling all around? Why there's a body lying on the ground? Who killed the man? Nobody saw They are walking dead, victims as we know Zombies of the modern age walk among us all Eyes stare dead ahead locked on the horizon Protected by camouflage, hiding in the crowd Hypnotized, paralyzed, stomping the ground What happened to me? Why didn't I see? It happened all too fast, I thought the moment would last I think that all is lost and at what cost? More that I think of it. I think I'm losing it All they need is a wakeup call on demand It is only irony what they got in hand Talk is cheap but may in fact cost many lives Danger and fun goes with hand in hand

Left Behind 04:18
lyrics
buy track
I saw your back moving further away You bid farewell "see you again someday" Years have passed and I'm still waiting for you Will I see you or the bitter end of my days? I was left behind in the darkness The only light was flying away with you You've broken your promises to my hollow heart pierced by the shards of my shattered dreams Empty-handed I stood in the doorway My heart was filled with hatred and despair With raging anger, I swore to find you to make you pay for your sins against me After many years I've finally found you Though you only see me through the mirror I now realize that I don't really need you We're better off now than when we used to be...

Perfect People 04:19
lyrics
buy track
Knights in shining armors, pretty, cheap talks Luxurious lifestyles, gold spoons in peaks Image is neat and clean, behavior too perfect there's a shadow on your shoulder, it looks like death Perfect people don't exist at all Someone will always take the fall Keeping up appearances, try to act cool but the truth lies beneath, there's no one to fool Marriages of charades, smiles for the cameras alliances between masks of power and control Constant surveillance left unseen gives the impression that it's all you need The world is different behind the scenes House of cards will fall, death will take its toll Victor tells his story, a sword will lose to pen New masks are painted and the rest is history

Road To Hell 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Hey! What the hell did you do? Why I'm messing around with you? Are you trying to hurt me? Tell me now! I can see what you are getting at I just don't like the means You try to make amends You try too hard I know you meant no harm to me You tried to do something right indeed Can you see where the path has lead you 'cause road to hell is paved with good intentions So much grief and pain in the name of goodwill Actions justified by good causes bring often pain Is it due to the plan? Didn't we talk it through? You meant only good and still, we fail Alliances will break by joined enemies We play the game of life strive to success New enemies are born breaking the bonds of good and bad The game is on!

Real World Heroes 03:46
lyrics

No waving capes, no one flying in clear blue skies No dress to kill, dictators ruling with an iron will You dream to fly, go to places you can't buy You fight to lose, life will make you choose Heroes of real-world will do things that you won't You close your eyes for things money can't buy Open your eyes and you see them everywhere you go In the game of life, who will stand beside you, you will know No fancy jobs, no evil masterminds to fight against No alien attacks, no top men handling the trash Your dreams won't die, don't escape the life Lose your shades, see the life that won't fade No taser beams, no hanging from the cliff in the end No fancy butlers, sharp-dressed men may dance where they can Awaken from your dreams, your heroes are real They are with you, helping you through every day

I'm a metalhead who likes fast tempo, heavy riffs, epic orchestrations and a nice balance of clean and growling vocals. In most of areas I'm self-taught. I'm also a DIY enthusiastic. I like to make my gear myself and I like to compose, arrange, play, sing, produce, record, mix, and master all my music myself.
