I was fool enough
To play your twisted game
Yet the odds were clear
Not a single chance
Shame on me
Here I am again
I was fool enough
To play your fucked-up game
All these made-up lies
For a pretty face
Shame on me
Here I am again
Was this real all along
Maybe just out of my mind
Was this just for the fuck
Or am I out of touch
Trust me, I don’t even care
'Cause today, I'm breaking this wall
Blinded, Naïve
Missing the signs
Trapped in a cage, with a lion
Trying to hunt me down
Taking pleasure to see me crawl
Trapped in a cage, with an animal
Give it up now
Oh, we both know how this is gonna end
Give it up now
Don’t even try to pretend
Give it up now
Oh, we both know how this is gonna end
How this is gonna end
Your turn
Play me, deceive me again
Well, not this time, honey
No, I won’t fall for this
Reveal the cards, expose the lies
Time to release me from my ties
I will watch you fall
Babe, I’m taking back the crown
Such a pity, who would have guessed it
Your loyal pet ended up biting your hand
What does it feel like
Do you feel sad
Your sweet perfume has the same bitter taste of betrayal
Deeper and deeper
You keep digging your own grave
And too late, oh so late
You know there’s nothing left to save
Get back on your feet
You’re so sad to look at
Don’t make more promises
They mean nothing to me
You had all the time to fix the mess you made
But you preferred to pour the salt into the wounds
Let’s celebrate, I raise my glass to you
After all these years, I learned my lesson
Wearing a life jacket making harder to keep
Your head above water
Give it up now
Oh, we both know how this is gonna end
Give it up now
Don’t even try to pretend
Give it up now
Oh, we both know how this is gonna end
How this is gonna end
Your turn
Play me, deceive me again
Well, not this time, honey
No, I won’t fall for this
Reveal the cards, expose the lies
Time to release me from my ties
I will watch you fall
Babe, I’m taking back the crown
I believe
I believe
You better
Step the fuck back
Play me, deceive me again
Well, not this time, honey
No, I won’t fall for this
Reveal the cards, expose the lies
Time to release me from my ties
I will watch you fall
Play me, deceive me
Again, again, again
Tell me you're sorry
Again, again
I am taking back the crown

A Wolf At Your Door
04:36
|

Once upon a time, there was a lonely man
Just one among many, roaming lost in the crowd
He used to dream, he used to feel, such a distant memory
Trapped in an open cage, enduring this reverie
And he was a man, docile, focused to stay in line
Today is yesterday, different but still the same
He had a place to keep, don’t want it but needed it
Couldn’t ignore the voice, constantly alluring him
Boy, boy, let me in - I’ll be the ear, the friend, your savior
Boy, boy, let me in - I’ll be your fuel, your blood, your gasoline
Boy, boy, let me in - I’ll be your shield, your sword and I will guide your hand
Boy, boy, let me in - Let me in
There’s a wolf at your door
Waiting in disguise
Lock yourself up or he'll swallow you whole
You can’t tame the wolf at your door
Please don’t let him in
Because once it's done, he will swallow you whole
One day, this man gave a chance to the voice
He started wondering and listening, ending up feeding him
The jealousy, the lust, the envy and the hate
Became his daily drugs, igniting the addiction
Trouble, Hurt, Confusion, Sadness
This never-ending fire taking pleasure in the pain
Soon, his appetite became a slavery
Couldn’t resist the beast, slowly taking over him
Boy, boy, let me in - I’ll be the ear, the friend, your savior
Boy, boy, let me in - I’ll be your fuel, your blood, your gasoline
Boy, boy, let me in - I’ll be your shield, your sword and I will guide your hand
Boy, boy, let me in - Let me in
There’s a wolf at your door
Waiting in disguise
Lock yourself up or he'll swallow you whole
You can’t tame the wolf at your door
Please don’t let him in
Because once it's done, he will swallow you whole
Feed me
Again, and again, and again, and again, and again
Feed me
Again, and again, and again, and again, and again
There was a wolf at your door
And you let him in
There's a wolf in your home
And there is no way back
Watch him smile as he burns down the whole place
You can’t stop the wolf in your home
There’s no need to scream
Now, it’s time for you to be devoured

The Golden Rule

They set the fire to the stone
They even mastered the unknown
This sad obsession for a crown
The heavy price paid for the throne
But now, there’s no place called "Home"
Where do we failed, my brother?
Feeling free to kill each other
Irrational, anesthetized
The eyes stuck on the prize
Does the end always justify the means?
Is there still a beating heart in this reckless machine?
You play with lives like you'd roll a dice
But everything comes at a price
Hold on a second
Your ivory tower won’t last much longer
Can you feel a tremor?
The higher you'll climb, the harder we'll all fall
Captains of this sinking ship
Can you even tell where does stand the limit?
Soiling the ground, the water, the air
Spreading chemicals like a cancer
No hesitation, negotiation
Consume the earth until there’s nothing left
Are you this obsessed to see?
You’re just cutting off the branch we're standing on
Where do we failed, my sister?
Feeling free to kill each other
Irrational, anesthetized
The eyes stuck on the prize
Does the end always justify the means?
Is there still a beating heart in this reckless machine?
You play with lives like you'd roll a dice
But everything comes at a price
Hold on a second
Your ivory tower won’t last much longer
Can you feel a tremor?
The higher you'll climb, the harder we'll all fall
After centuries, driving blind
Destroying the humankind
Playing God, you masterminds
Today
You pay the price
Tell me we’re not alone
Tell me we’re not alone
Tell me we’re not
Tell me we’re not
Tell me we’re not alone
Hold on a second
Your ivory tower won’t last much longer
Can you feel a tremor?
The higher you’ll climb

Masquerade
05:21
|

Put me aside
Lead me astray
Make me believe
That this mirage is real
All I see is an empty shell
So obsessed by what you reflect
Living in a world where the look of the fruit
Worth more than its own taste
Its grip is so tight
You’re caught in the undertow
This ocean will drag you down
Is there a soul within?
Or are you just a manikin?
Show what lies beneath your skin
Is there a soul within?
Or are you just a manikin?
Reveal - your true nature and...
Burn all these perfect illusions
What's the point after all?
Embracing the man you're not
Take off the mask from your face
Erase these lies of paradise
Time to bring an end to this
Masquerade
Terrified to stand out from the crowd
You choose to stay behind this fucking red line
Will you let this society corrupt your soul
With its mold of normalcy?
No mercy…
Keep fighting, swimming against the waves
It will swallow, it will swallow you whole
Give it a try and don't be shy, you can't buy the lie
Burn all these perfect illusions
What's the point after all?
Embracing the man you're not
Take off the mask from your face
Erase these lies of paradise
Time to bring an end to this
Masquerade
You're scared, this I know,
Exposing your imperfections to the world
These are the details
Defining your true self
You don't have to hide
The one sleeping inside
In the end, you will found your way
Through this Masquerade
This Masquerade

The Dawn of a New King
04:35

All the light
Devoured by the dark
I can’t find a way-out
(Hold your breath, never let it die)
Is this the end that I finally see?
(Hold your breath)
And I feel the fate tricking me again
(Come on, get up)
And I feel the pain slowly spreading inside
(It’s far from over)
Look at me, don’t you see
Everything is gone
There’s no hope, you will fall
Like the other ones
I see, the doubt in your eyes
Come on, boy, accept your defeat
Watch your step, 'cause I could bite
No, I won’t leave without a fight
I’m not afraid, I’ll take my chance
I’m prepared to dance
Make me bleed, make me scream
Well, go ahead and break me
I’m not afraid, I’ll take my chance
I’m prepared to dance
Watch the Dawn of a New King
In the dark
A faint shimmer of light
Is keeping me alive now
(It’s stronger than you think)
This little spark guides me through the night
(Let it carry you)
And I realize what I’m capable of
(Fear what I’ve become)
And I’m much stronger than I was before
(Fear what I’ve become)
Look at me, don’t you see
Everything is gone
There’s no hope, you will fall
Like the other ones
I see, the doubt in your eyes
Come on, boy, accept your defeat
Watch your step, 'cause I could bite
No, I won’t leave without a fight
I’m not afraid, I’ll take my chance
I’m prepared to dance
Make me bleed, make me scream
Well, go ahead and break me
I’m not afraid, I’ll take my chance
I’m prepared to dance
Watch the Dawn of a New King
Watch me rise, watch me burn
Nothing won’t ever keep me chained
I finally found my way out
Watch me rise, watch me burn, nothing won’t ever keep me chained
Watch your step 'cause I could bite
No, I won’t leave without a fight
I’m not afraid, I’ll take my chance
I’m prepared to dance (Feed me to the wolves)
Make me bleed, make me scream
Well, go ahead and break me
I’m not afraid, I’ll take my chance
I’m prepared to dance
Watch the Dawn of a New King
