What can be said after all these days? What have we become after all these years? Will we stay together and still be you and I? What do we know after all we've said? What we believe after all we've done? What is still important, what will make it last? Time has passed, and lessons we have learned We got old in this story untold But we are still here - We are still here! And we still believe - We still believe! Nothing can be brought back, the past is the past Memories are left and will live in our hearts But we are still here - We are still here! And we still believe - We still believe! Things never said. But always meant. Kept deep inside. One will never know, what love truly means if one doesn't fight if one only quits (We still believe) Life was not easy on us Sometimes we had to scream Hearts were broken Heavy words outspoken We had to glue it all together Bring back all the pieces Make it work and listen to each other What can be said after all these days? What have we become after all these years? True love will always try, true love will never die What do we know after all we've said? What we believe after all we've done? Everything is possible when you transcend yourself No one warns you what could happen and what to expect Every story has its glory, its price, and its pain You will be hurt and also be rewarded When all illusions are broken, will our love remain? It's a road of tolerance and understanding Life will send us what we need and believe It's a school of life the best there is Where heroes dare to walk and cowards leave Understand Time will pass Wounds will heal Impressions live Through ups and downs Memory fades Nothing's the same Love will remain

Waiting 03:31
Won't waste time on reflection Wrong place to seek perfection Short pleasure like a drop of water in the desert Everything happens for a reason - in time! That's how we grow and experience - in time! When will ... When will that day be mine, I see you all beautiful and kind? When will ... every moment without You be like millions of years? Why can't I see your face, why can't I see your smile? Waiting, waiting, waiting Illusion is all I get here and no peace of mind. Waiting, waiting, waiting I see rays on the horizon I feel the heat on my skin Day will rise again and Your image will appear These are the times we all wait for These are the times we all live for No more lies and deceptions Instead, I want full revelation When will ... When will that day be mine, when tears will swell in my eyes? When will ... by hearing Your name, I'II immediately faint

Reflection 03:22
Why can't you understand the words I say? You think it's one game to play Nothing can get through to you Limited you don't care Living is giving a chance To get to know oneself To understand and be freed We all dance in the strong hands of illusion thinking we are something else Believing what they serve us we're accepting as ourselves We are lost in the chaos pushed left and right Letting ignorance decide for us what do we want Accepting false roles they gave us we are lost at the start Cut from the source we accept what it is not instead, we rise above The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal, fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind. When there is a light, there's no darkness. We remain in ignorance of who we really are Without true identity Holding tight to our ego trip not believing anything else Tear apart - Remove the facade Let the light - Ignite the spark Turn your face toward the sun and shadows will fall apart

Surrender 02:52
There is a place that I call home Where I feel loved, where I feel safe There is a place that I call home Where I am accepted the way I am Yesterday I was promised happiness but I got lied to, cheated, thrown on my knees Your hand helped me stand up on my feet Swimming for years – Surrender Not getting any closer – Surrender It's at the reach of my hand I surrender to You. Surrender to You Calling Your name – Surrender Remembering You – Surrender Embracing Your feet I surrender to You. Surrender to You And today I feel like I'm home again Safe, complete, goosebumps on my skin No more anxiety Everyone craves after some gain But one is costly to obtain One spark starts a forest fire! After all, one just can't go back Home is where the heart is!

All Angels 04:04
We are all angels in disguise and we rise and fall. Most of us are stuck struggling with our minds We are together in this theater of life, playing a role as a reaction to our past Life sent me all of you A perfect world designed to learn how to live how to forgive how to love and rise above I accept everyone as teacher in this life some came to me to make me smile, some to make me cry But I'm grateful for every detail that happened to me it made me the way I am and taught me how to think Govinda adi purusham tam aham bhajami Defining ourselves we will rise gopīnāth, mama nivedana śuno viṣayī durjana, sadā kāma-rata kichu nāhi mora guṇa We are all angels but we rise and fall We are all angels but we rise and we fall

Found 03:52
At times confused and alone searching for answers the truth came along Reading between the lines in moments of life now I see you behind Open my eyes before I die... can't live not knowing, won't die not knowing Choosing not to live a lie... can't face myself, not knowing the self I must know what's the truth and what is not... remove illusion! Looking inside finally (in everything) Found You Found me You've been here all this time Again all will come to an end and same old story chasing fame and glory Seeking I found a surprise but everyone is scared it might change their plans You've been here all this time

On the Edge 03:37
Lightning will strike, seasons will change Can't do anything about it, just save yourself These are the times when everyone's crazy These are the times that move our limits Running - as fast as I can Always too late - missing the chance Two steps behind - I'm almost there Gotta be stronger - crossing the line - between two lives Making a dream a reality A voice calls me to another side Fear holds me underground I'm still here between the earth and sky Finding my way to survive On the edge The world will change and rearrange Gotta stand still in this age Open your mind, open your eyes Then only can you realize Walking on a thin line To lose one's mind There's always a solution It's not over My heart still beats Blood is boiling We have no limits

Today I scream (why can't you hear me?) for those in pain (you should listen) for those who are used and abused and will be killed in the end If I can speak (I feel, I'm conscious) I would loudly say (my brothers and sisters) stop what you're doing and let us live! Born through rape Grown by man – that is not how I chose to live Live in cage Die in pain – that is not how anyone should be treated. Where is your mind, where is your heart? Where is your sanity? Where is your conscience? Where is your conscience? Another day that most don't care that millions cry, that millions die... Stop killing, stop killing Day after day, we scream in vain we die in pain, nothing to change, no one to blame Why can't you hear me screaming? In fear and afraid (no one to save me) and my child after me (no chance to live) you use us every day draining all you can get After years of abuse (you take me to a room) no one comes back alive (nowhere to run) they'll cut my throat open let my blood run and I'll die horrified Do you ever think of me while you eat your meal how it was like for me when they killed me for your meat forcefully dragged and slaughtered they took my life hurting me stop this madness and prove your humanity

Unbreakable 03:57
This is a war against all lies Earth against the sky I won't just compromise I'll fight you with all my heart Like a lion, I will attack Always light against the dark Never underestimate me ‘cause, I've gone through so much you will never know Never underestimate me ‘cause, there's so much beneath the surface you can't see at all I'm still here alive, you're acting like I'm not Soon you will be dead and soon be forgotten You want me to sell my soul To put me under your control I'd rather die before I crawl I'll take out my sharp-edged sword Cut your ignorance and stand strong Watch you bleed and move along I'm still here unbreakable We are still here unbreakable Spirit remains the same! Fight back until the end I'm still here alive We're still here alive

The Last One 04:27
I'd rather stand alone than go with the flow What happened to the honesty and true spirit? - everything's fake We keep friends as long as we need them - then we split Some people choose not to be humans any more - greedy bastards Interests and motives are more important to them - than the real thing Even if I'm the last one - who still lives the truth Even if I'm the last one - I won't give up, I won't give up I'd rather die in honesty Storms won't crash me, I will not break I know who I am and where I stand Black sheep I've always been I'll never sell out, I'll never give in We must take back what is ours - before it's too late There's no more free time to spend with our families - working slaves Our children don't play games outside anymore - swallowed by the system Diseases are more prominent than ever before - fed by poison I'd rather stand alone, than go with the fl ow I believe I'm not the last one... who believes in honesty
