Inside my body is torn apart, blood pouring down from an empty heart. I´m drowned in depression, a serveral kind, eternal darkness fulfills my mind. I open my veins by a razorblade cut, reborn in death, life turns into dust Lost all my hope, lost all my tears, reborn in death, lost all my fears Face to face - FACE TO FACE - With shattered life - SHATTERED LIFE Through my eyes can see the river - THE RIVER RUNS RED I need to take the blade - TAKE THE BLADE - The passion that I feel Remember, only death is real - ONLY DEATH IS REAL!!! Tremored hands will guide the sharpened knife, there´s just one exit to leave this shattered life See through my veins, life turns into death, the bloodstream flows, I’ll take my final breath I´ll take my final breath!!! Starring through the eyes of crimson death, the blade so deep crawling through my flesh My body struggle down, as life passes by, I`ll leave this fuckin’ life, it´s time to die Face to face - FACE TO FACE - With shattered life - SHATTERED LIFE Through my eyes can see the river - THE RIVER RUNS RED I need to take the blade - TAKE THE BLADE - The passion that I feel Remember, only death is real - ONLY DEATH IS REAL!!! Inside my body is torn apart, blood pouring down from an empty heart. I´m drowned in depression, a serveral kind, eternal darkness fulfills my mind. I open my veins by a razorblade cut, reborn in death, life turns into dust Lost all my hope, lost all my tears, reborn in death, lost all my fears Face to face - FACE TO FACE - With shattered life - SHATTERED LIFE Through my eyes can see the river - THE RIVER RUNS RED I need to take the blade - TAKE THE BLADE - The passion that I feel Remember, only death is real - ONLY DEATH IS REAL!!!

FREUND HEIN 03:47
Wir betreten die Bühne, spielen auf zum ersten Akt In der Welt des Bizarren, bewegen wir uns im Takt Seid willkommen, ihr Narren, geblendet die Sicht Auf der Bühne des Lebens, willkommen im Licht Mit dem Licht das uns führt, wird uns Dunkel gewahr Das Leben sich teilte, den Tod gebar Es schreitet die Zeit, Zerfall beginnt Freund Hein wetzt die Sense, das Leben verrinnt Erneut geht’s auf die Bühne, es beginnt der zweite Akt Morbide Gestalten, stellen sich dem Takt Seid willkommen im Theater, vernebelt die Sicht Sehet auf zur Bühne, tauchet ein in grelles Licht Den Weg oft gekreuzt, uns verhöhnt und ausgelacht Der Fratze getrotzt, uns zu Helden gemacht Knochen umschließend, das Stundenglas dreht Es rieselt der Sand, unser Leben vergeht Das Leben vergeht Vom Anbeginn der Zeit - sind wir Todgeweiht Im Leben getrennt, nur im Tode vereint - Wir sind Todgeweiht Die Zeit ist gekommen, kein Ausweg mehr in Sicht Aufschub und Gnade, gewährt er uns nicht Die Sense im Anschlag, er reicht uns die Hand Das Leben weicht von uns, die Seele, unser Pfand Ein allerletzter Akt, wir laden zum Finale ein Vom Leben gezeichnet, der Takt, er holt uns ein Wir alle waren Narren, stehen vor Gericht Er wird jeden bekehren, er entreißt uns dem Licht. Todgeweiht - Wir sind Todgeweiht - Todgeweiht

I hear this wispering voices - deep inside my head I feel, my life is broken - I wish I where dead I’m standing on the edge of life - Darkness surrounds me Feels like I’m losin my mind - One step closer - time to die It’s hard to remember what went wrong - I live in darkness for so long Please open your door and let me in - help me to find my light within Drown in sorrow - drown in pain - life is crawling through my veins Open for me and let me in - please help me to find my light within I will leave this world of pain - leave this place of darkness Close my eyes and will be free - last breath - silence It’s hard to remember what went wrong - I live in darkness for so long Please open your door and let me in - help me to find my light within Drown in sorrow - drown in pain - life is crawling through my veins Open for me and let me in - please help me to find my light within My light within - my light It’s hard to remember what went wrong - I live in darkness for so long Please open your door and let me in - help me to find my light within Drown in sorrow - drown in pain - life is crawling through my veins Open for me and let me in - please help me to find my light within

After nine days awaiting the final command At dawn they attacked to burn down the land Icecold tears dropped down from the sky All hell breaks lose - heaven cry’s February 21 in 1916 German guns opened fire - the slaughter begins An earpiercing soundscape fulfils the air All life turned away - death’s everywhere Dissipated Life Dissipated Life Warplanes, poison gas and overwhelming tanks Surrogates the combat - man against man At first time the war will lead by technical hand The killing keeps faceless - all over the land They’ve got no hope to leave this hell - no hope to keep alive - live All dreams of freedom passed away - together they shall die - die Through trenches filled with corpses - march into the final stand - stand Waste their life’s in senseless war - for god and for the fatherland Dissipated Life Dissipated Life Shells of shrapnel falling down from everywhere Soldiers buried alive - swallowed by bursting earth After ten month of slaughter the battle comes to an end The stench of rotting flesh - covered the scarred land They’ve got no hope to leave this hell - no hope to keep alive - live All dreams of freedom passed away - together they shall die - die Through trenches filled with corpses - march into the final stand - stand Waste their life’s in senseless war - for god and for the fatherland After nine days awaiting the final command At dawn they attacked to burn down the land Icecold tears dropped down from the sky All hell breaks lose - heaven cry’s Dissipated Life They’ve got no hope to leave this hell - no hope to keep alive - live All dreams of freedom passed away - together they shall die - die Through trenches filled with corpses - march into the final stand - stand Waste their life’s in senseless war - for god and for the fatherland

TORTURED 03:38
I´m drowning in an Ocean of tears / The maelstrom of sadness and pain I opened my mouth for a silent scream / A silent scream I am alone for evermore / For evermore No one can hear me scream / Fear turns me down to the deep My mind is losing / Fear becomes to be a Torture Torture / Fear´s like a torture / torture Through my eyes no light´s be seen / Just darkness torns my soul my thougts are tangled in pain I scream / In pain I scream tears running down my scarred face / The scarred face It´s like a torture / Torture / Fear´s like a torture / Torture Who am I / Who´s there to guide my way Is there an answer for my questions??? I´m drowning in an Ocean of tears / The maelstrom of sadness and pain No one can hear me scream / Fear turns me down to the deep My mind is losing / Fear becomes to be a Torture Torture / Fear´s like a torture Fear becomes to be a torture / Torture / Torture

Ich steige empor, treib den Sternen entgegen. Nur der Mond scheint mir hell auf meinen Wegen. Meine Seele entrinnt meinem sterbenden Leib. durch Aeonen, durch Raum (und) durch Zeit. Ich entfliehe der Welt, die aus Schmerzen gebaut. Lass die Hülle zurück - aller Lasten befreit. Stoss ab alles leben, es verblasst was mal war. Auf dem Weg in die Träume die ich einstmals gebar. Mein Geist erhebt sich, Schwingen breiten sich weit. Werd von Stille geleitet, (bin) vom Leben befreit. Ein glühender Schweif zieht durch Zeit und durch Raum. Auf der suche nach Freiheit - dem endlosen Traum. Flieg durch luftige Höhen, wie ein Rabe dahin. Durch Gebirge und Täler, nur Erlösung im Sinn. Der Gewissheit entgegen, endlich frei zu sein. Ein Gefühl, ich komm näher, bald schon bin ich daheim. Es fallen die Lider ein allerletztes Mal Durch den Atem entweichend, still und starr liegt Er da. Ein Blick auf den Leichnam, erloschen (ist) die Glut. Zum Abschied wink ich leise, ziehe dankend meinen Hut. Ich ward geboren zu Leben in Schmerz und in Pein Wähl den Tod zur Erlösung um endlich frei zu sein Erlösung Es fallen die Lider ein allerletztes Mal Durch den Atem entweichend, still und starr liegt Er da. Ein Blick auf den Leichnam, erloschen (ist) die Glut. Zum Abschied wink ich leise, ziehe dankend meinen Hut.
