A lantern in the dark
A halo on the asphalt
Light a cigarette
And watch the highway in the distance
Left it all behind
Without hesitation
Moving on is simple
When nothing meant anything to you
And the roads cross
In front of you
What direction will you go?
Dream of a day
Far away
Dream of a place
That you call home
The autumn winds bring darkness. A cold caress warms your heart.

Fleeting glance
Decaying halls
The eye of time never at rest
Covered the hourglass
To strive for dying moments of bliss
A nothingness denied
The fires of lust, the trembling flesh
the illusion of consuming endlessly
Taking without giving
The fires of lust, the trembling flesh
the illusion of consuming endlessly
Taking without giving
Temporary values
Hypocrisy's reign
Dies with the human race
Moral justification
Not to improve
But to keep your throne, built upon false light
The fires of lust, the trembling flesh
the illusion of consuming endlessly
Taking without giving
We are kings
Of nothing
We embrace the veil
Which covers our eye
Self proclaimed saviors
Without sight
Blind can not lead the blind
A downward spiral, inevitable
A hypocrites heart will never change
Self proclaimed saviors
Without sight
Blind can not lead the blind
A downward spiral, inevitable
A hypocrites heart will never change

Fading scenes
Of a forgotten place
Before my eyes
The longing
For a time
Which will never be
Endless nights
Of pining unfulfilled
A better place
Without a name
Face to face
With the hollow
When you realize
The futility of your striving

Blackened sun
Hole in the sky
This world
Keeps turning
Eternal winter
Frozen the fields in the distance
Endless hollow meets the eye
An era ends
The earth moves on
Vermin consumes
Like cattle they flee
Lost, their dreams
Forgotten, their hopes
Believes crumble
Death of gods
Wolf's prey
Man alone
The ink turns pale
And papers to ashes
