Equations


Only art is infinite
But knowledge is the stepping stone
The truth lies in the painting
The colors are invisible
So let the numbers dance
Infinity remains unconscious
But music needs no audience
The proof lives in your mind
Formulas endure

Autarky


New beginnings, old emotions
Trust yourself and no one else
Same reactions, strange surroundings
Their minds are still afraid of you
Yet isolation might mean power
Loneliness turns tears to steel
Maybe it is worth the effort
Dare to smile and show your teeth
Try to greet fear as a friend
Listen but refuse to bow
Earn the title you deserve
And open the gates before they tear down the walls
My dreams are free to roam the earth

Liar

Trust me I'm a liar
If love is what you seek
Loyalty remembers
But justice might forget
Friendship might not trust in blindness
It's a choice we have to make
Smiles are barely hidden daggers
Honey drips from polished blades
Trust me I'm a liar
Trust I tell the truth

Sobriety

You feel like a tourist
Observe but don't act!
It's much too quiet
I can't hear myself think
Unaware until you feel it
You lost something but can't tell what
The saddest of moments
When reality catches up with your mind
And imagination becomes a liability
Locked away in a prison cell
Yet still struggling to take a breath
Indifference is a lonely place

Rose of No Man's Land

We were broken
We were young
But we all fought for a cause
A generation simply gone
The lost stay lost until they're found
Yet spring remains my favorite season
History will not forget us
Honor knows no victories
We remember
We remain

A Story's Immortality

A thousand players in a single game
Each one weaving his own silken tale
We've known the dangers from the start
And yet this song is ours to sing
Maybe death seems like the ending
But glory keeps memories alive
History will never suffice
We are legends on the rise
Hunger for eternal power
No need for us to reach the dawn
The only wish I'd ever choose
A story to outlive myself

I'll Give You The Sun

Reach out a hand
Converse with the mirror
Our self-portraits are upside down
Some days we're all a little broken
And yet I won't choose to be whole
I always thought we share a soul
But being "together" does not mean "as one"
You're the twin that shines alone
This revolution was never mine to start
Show me the painting, show me your spirit
Between heaven and hell there is only art
So I'll give you the sun and the stars and all those colors
If you just promise to release your heart
It's time

Humanity

Honor means to still keep fighting
Who would we be if we stepped down?
I believe that change can happen
Every poison has its cure
Glory does not ask for power
Never mind what they deserve
Time's the one thing that we lost
Promise that you'll sing for me
This price is one I'll pay alone
Justice is a choice we make
Humanity will still live on

Final Battle

Goodnight my brother, rest in peace
My sister, you shall guard my heart
Let us watch the rising sun
Maybe light is fed by darkness
Yet broken minds might learn to love
May they find their voice in peace
They will remember what you did
I promise

Fireheart

Fate reigns with a crown of iron
Mocking magic with its scent
It takes a monster to rule hell
So I picked up the mask
But maybe now it's time to show them
The danger of a cunning mind
Darkness cannot hide from honor
I'd debase myself for truth
Light means nothing if the flame dies
So we'll set the world ablaze
Power is to stay alive
(Though perhaps the world should burn)
This crescendo forges worlds
Please remember how I burned

I have loved
