2. SEE WHO I AM

Is it true what they say
Are we too blind to find a way
Fear of the unknown
Clouds our hearts today

Come into my world
See through my eyes
Try to understand
Don't wanna lose what we have

We've been dreaming
For who can't deny
It's the best way of living
Between the truth and the lies

See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand
And shout out that we can
Free your mind and find a way
The world is in our hands
This is not the end

Fear is withering the soul
At the point of no return
We must be the change we wish to see

I'll come into your world
See through your eyes
I'll try to understand
Before we lose what we have

We just can't stop believing
Because we have to try
We can rise above the truth and the lies

See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand
And shout out that we can
Free your mind and find a way
The world is in our hands

See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand
And shout out that we can
Free your mind and find a way
The world is in our hands
This is not the end

Hear the silence
Reach out my blame
Will our strength remain?
If the power rise

See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand
And shout out that we can
Free your mind and find a way
The world is in our hands

See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand
And shout out that we can
Free your mind and find a way
The world is in our hands
This is not the end.

3. JILLIAN (I'd Give My Heart)

I've been dreaming for so long
To find a meaning
To understand
The secret of life
Why am I here
To try again

Will I always
Will you always
See the truth
When it stares you in the face
Will I ever
Will I never free myself
Breaking these chains

In my heart, in my soul
I turn it back, it's my fault
Your destiny is forlorn
Have to live till it's undone
I'd give my heart, give my soul
I turn it back
And then I've lost
My key on the way

I've been living for so long
Many seasons passed me by
I've seen kingdoms through ages
Rise and fall
I've seen it all

I've seen the horror
I've seen the wonders
Happening just in front of my eyes
Will I ever
Will I never free myself
By breaking it right?

In my heart, in my soul
I turn it back, it's my fault
Your destiny is forlorn
Have to live till it's undone
I'd give my heart, give my soul
I turn it back
And then I've lost
My key on the way

Jillian
Our dream ended long ago
All our stories
And all our glory
I held so dear
We won't be together for ever and ever
No more tears
I'll always be here
till the end

In my heart, in my soul
I turn it back, it's my fault
Your destiny is forlorn
Have to live till it's undone
I'd give my heart, give my soul
I turn it back
And then I've lost
My key on the way.

4. STAND MY GROUND

I can see
When you stay low nothing happens
Does it feel right?

Late at night
Things I thought I put behind me
Haunt my mind

I just know there's no escape
Now once it sets its eyes on you
But I won't run
Have to stare it in the eye

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground

It's all around
Getting stronger, coming closer
Into my world

I can feel
That it's time for me to face it
Can I take it?

Though this might just be the ending
Of the life I held so dear
But I won't run
There's no turning back from here

Stand my ground, I wont give in
No more denying, I got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground

All I know for sure is I'm trying
I will always stand my ground

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground.

5. PALE

The world seems not the same
Though I know nothing has changed
It's all my state of mind
I can't leave it all behind
Have to stand up to be stronger

Have to try to break free
From the thoughts in my mind
Use the time that I have
I can't say goodbye
Have to make it right

Have to fight
'Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile
That the pain that I feel slowly fades away
It will be alright

I know
Should realize
Time is precious
It is worthwhile
Despite how I feel inside
Have to trust it'll be alright
Have to stand up to be stronger

Have to try
To break free
From the thoughts in my mind
Use the time that I have
I can't say goodbye
Have to make it right

Have to fight
'Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile
That the pain that I feel slowly fades away
It will be alright

This night is too long
Have no strength to go on
No more pain, I'm floating away

Through the mist I see the face
Of an angel who calls my name
I remember you're the reason I have to stay

Have to try
To break free
From the thoughts in my mind
Use the time that I have
I can't say goodbye
Have to make it right

Have to fight
'Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile
That the pain that I feel slowly fades away
It will be alright.

6. FORSAKEN

Now the day has come
We are forsaken this time

We lived our lives
In our paradise
As gods we shaped the world around
No borderlines
We'd stay behind
Though balance is something fragile

While we thought we were gaining
We turned back the time
It still slips away
Our time has run out
Our future has died
There's no more escape

Now the day has come
We are forsaken
There's no time anymore
Life will pass us by
We are forsaken
We're the last of our kind

The sacrifice
Was much too high
Our grief just made us all go blind
We tried to hide what we feared inside
Today is the end of tomorrow

As the sea started rising
The land that we'd conquered
Just washed away
Although we all have tried
To turn back the time
It was all in vain

Now the day has come
We are forsaken
There's no time anymore
Life will pass us by
We are forsaken
Only ruins stay behind

Now the day has come
We are forsaken this time

Now the day has come
We are forsaken
There's no time any more

Now the day has come
The day has come
The day has come.

7. ANGELS

Sparkling angel
I believed
You were my saviour
In my time of need

Blinded by faith
I couldn't hear
All the whispers
The warnings so clear

I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
Now mercy no more
No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart

You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they'd turn into real
You broke the promise
And made me realise
It was all just a lie

Sparkling angel
Couldn't see
Your dark intensions
Your feelings for me

Fallen angel
Tell me why
What is the reason
The thorn in your eye

I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart

You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they'd turn into real
You broke the promise
And made me realise
It was all just a lie

Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end

This world may have failed you
It doesn't give you reason why
You could have chosen
A different path in life

The smile when you tore me apart

You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they'd turn into real
You broke a promise
And made me realise
It was all just a lie

Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end.

8. MEMORIES

In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I prayed to the gods: let him stay
The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why

All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers
The silent tears

Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life
Hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're okay
Reminds me again
It's worth it all
So I can go on

All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers
The silent tears

Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling, you know I love you
Till the end of time

All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers
The silent tears

All of my memories
Silent, silent.

9. AQUARIUS

I hear your whispers
Break the silence
And it calms me down
Taste on my lips
Your salty kisses

They say I'm seeking out the danger
That one day you won't let me go

I need you, Aquarius
Enchanted I will have to stay
I feel you, Aquarius
'Cause you, the sea, set me free
You call to me, Aquarius

You call to me
You set me free

I relinquish
To your powers
From your grasp
I just can't hide

I missed the danger
I had to conquer
You made me feel alive

They say I have to be aware
That one day you won't let me go

I need you, Aquarius
Enchanted I will have to stay
I feel you, Aquarius
'Cause you, the sea, set me free
You call to me, Aquarius

I long for you, Aquarius
I need to be with you again
I feel you, Aquarius
My destiny till the end

I need you, Aquarius
Enchanted I will have to stay
I feel you, Aquarius
'Cause you, the sea, set me free
You call to me, Aquarius.

10. IT'S THE FEAR

It waits for the day
I will let it out
Give it a reason
To give it its might

I fear who I am becoming
I fear that I'm losing
The struggle within
I can no longer restrain it
My strength, it is fading
I have to give in

It's the fear
Fear of the dark
It's growing inside of me
That one day will come to life
Have to save
To save my beloved
There is no escaping
'Cause my faith is horror and doom

Hold down your head now
Just let me pass by
Don't feed my fear
If you don't want it out

I fear for who I am becoming
I feel that I'm losing
All beauty within
I can no longer restrain it
My strength, it is fading
I have to give in

It's the fear
Fear of the dark
It's growing inside of me
That one day will come to life
Have to save
To save my beloved
There is no escaping
'Cause my faith is horror and doom

Long ago it came to me
And ever since that day
Infected with its rage
But it ends today

It's the fear
Fear of the dark
It's growing inside of me
That one day will come to life
Have to save
To save my beloved
There is no escaping
'Cause my faith is horror and doom.

11. SOMEWHERE

Lost in the darkness
Hoping for a sign
Instead there's only silence
Can't you hear my screams?

Never stop hoping
Need to know where you are
But one thing's for sure
You're always in my heart

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying
Until my dying day
I just need to know
Whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul

Lost in the darkness
Try to find your way home
I want to embrace you
And never let you go

Almost hope you're in heaven
So no one can hurt your soul
Living in agony
'Cause I just do not know
Where you are

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying
Until my dying day
I just need to know
Whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul

Wherever you are
I won't stop searching
Whatever it takes
I need to know

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying
Until my dying day
I just need to know
Whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul.
