Vortex

When will you break the silence?
Let go of this
You are far from reality
It’s not worth the pain

Sucked into this vortex
A reel of misery, endless nights
Sucked into this vortex
Desperately digging a way out
You are one step closer

Since you are no longer ignored
Alone on this land
Fighting the flames, and failed
Truly a loss, scattering deep
End of a black world
Words piercing like serrated blades
A sharper day altogether
And then you’re one step closer

Another step closer to somewhere

The desert storm thunders across our land
Echoes through the darkest alleys
I can still see all the lovers of me
I still know those feelings
But I have chosen to forget
Won’t you look at me one last time
When I’m only watching you suffer?
Feel the pain..

[Interlude – Solo]

[Clean Singing/Whispers]
You’re one step closer (..to somewhere)
I’m one step closer (..to somewhere)
You and I are one step closer to nowhere.

PS :- This song isn't written for anyone else other than me. The only picture I had in mind while writing it was a man suffering in the desert storm.

My Sacrifice

I see you run away every time I come close
Eternally together, fighting for supremacy
With these words I pull back and I bleed
Think again
Isn’t this my shattered soul you are looking at?

Flowing into the deepest oceans
I keep track of your thoughts
And beyond the deep despairs
Where is the love now?

Defeated a long time ago
Yet stayed to prove fate wrong
Blood of faith now stains my hands
Looking into the past
You misinterpret her for yourself

[Clean Singing]
Still the same
This path to your hatred
Every tear I shed – provoked by guilt
Where does My Sacrifice lie?
In letting you go or letting you grow?

When you dare to love me again
Tell me this isn’t my shattered soul you’re able to see.

If I manage to start a band again soon, I'll post a recording of this as well.

Chronosphere - And Deeper Within You

Hope is fading away fast

I almost let go

A sadness we’ve come to fight together

For you I will breathe…

But you plunge deeper into your void

Yet live an even shallower life.

I’ve tried to get you out of it

But against your will,

How can I do anything but harm you?...

Distract you?...

Hurt you?...

But this is the final darkness

And I’ve pulled out in time

Only I’ve seen you die…

Twice.

It seems so unfair now

That I suffer for your sins

While you move on blissfully

Leaving empty moments behind.

An emptiness, in myself…

There’s a feeling that runs dry within me.

The pain comes with responsibility

And every time I look into your blackened eyes

I feel like I’ve failed myself again.

Deceiving the world

Deceiving yourself

You’ve died twice only to me.

Follow the winds and blow back to me,

Because I’ve lost most of myself in you.
