"Our sins are obstinate, our repentance is faint; We exact a high price for our confessions,
And we gaily return to the miry path,
Believing that base tears wash away all our stains."
There is enough treachery,
hatred violence absurdity (in the average)
human being to supply any given army
on any given day
And the best at murder are those who preach against it
And the best at hate are those who preach love (cause they need it)
Particles blurred together
Create a single aggressor (from the average)
Everything what was myself,
what once meant me is
Taken by the tides
Taken by tides
Good to know I'm not alone
They understand us, they understand us
Stitched us together as a whole
They divide us, they just divide us all
They will attempt to destroy anything
that differs from their own
They will consider their failure as creators
only as a failure of the world
And the best at murder are those who preach against it
And the best at hate are those who preach love (don't understand it)
Cut off the head of the demon
Release the man from the legion (we can manage)
Total apathy or selfish anarchy
Cannot dominate
Cannot dominate
Good to know I'm not alone
They understand us, they understand us
Stitched us together as a whole
They divide us, they just divide us all
Good to know I'm not alone
They understand us, they understand us
Stitched us together as a whole
They divide us, they just divide us all

I need some time
To settle my thoughts I
I need some rest
To bring out my best
Have I passed the test?
Let me take a breath!
"No!"
"You can't!"
I have to go
Nobody tries to stop me
It's more than me
How can they be so damn sure?
Keep that false smile
Until the end of the day
And make me believe
That I'm still the same
The same as you all fuckers
I'm heading towards the sun
You’re condemned to the ground
Maybe you will never fly
But I might fall back down
I envy them
They look the same from the sky
I pity them
They really are the same from here
I'm heading towards the sun
You’re condemned to the ground
Maybe you never try to fly
But I’ll be burnin' alive
I’ll be burning alive
I‘m fuckin’ burning alive

The wolves are among us

Hear me now,
And see the deep through my eyes (realize)
The wicked isn't spectacular
Mingles in the crowd in
Human-like disguise
The most vivid lights
Cast the darkest shadows
Where these beasts can hide
Until they consume it all
Beyond recall
This normality is madness
Crown jewel of creation
Blood and defloration
Abnormality and sadness
This is not some
schizophrenic suicide,
It's not a fuckin' parable
But the beast is hungry inside
And everyone's expendable
These wolves are among us - These wolves are inside us
The wolves are among us - These wolves are inside us
It kills me, there's no escape
When they find me
And I cannot cut myself adrift from their kind
May I be the victim?
Or do I commit the crime?
Hold my hand
Do not fear
The monsters can't hurt you now
So innocent, so clear
Shattered lives echo through time
Don't close your eyes
It's so real
Even you cannot ignore
That's why heaven
Is closer to hell than you think
Maybe you don't mind
Another story in the news
Why would you?
Someone has to lose
But among the guilty
The silent is accessory
It's not just sad
It shows us how far we can get
There is nothing more down there,
Just what you already have
This is not some
schizophrenic suicide,
It's not a fuckin' parable
But the beast is hungry inside
And everyone's expendable
These wolves are among us - These wolves are inside us
The wolves are among us - These wolves are inside us
Don't close your eyes
It's so real
Even you cannot ignore
That's why heaven
Is closer to hell than you think
