Pushing yourself; testing the limits Seeking the door to fit the key But no one makes you live this way No one takes the blame Pressure extreme; smashing the boundaries Flooding the spaces in your mind But can you turn the tide away Can you take the pain Setting your goals higher and higher Standing tall in other’s eyes But never can you deviate It’s the price you pay Suffering through day after day Never reaching your destination Ambition has made you a slave It’s driving you insane The walls you built within Are crumbling away Do you have the strength To face another day The world around you closing in Madness coming on Day by day is rushing past Sanity is gone See the hell that you’ve been through Take a look around Pride always outlasts the pain You’ve got to stand your ground Carry on Feeling betrayed; claiming unfairness A heart full of sorrow and regret Will you turn your grief to rage Can you make the change A question of trust; finding a balance Gaining an inner symmetry Satisfied with what you’ve gained Learning self-acclaim The walls you built within Are crumbling away Do you have the strength To face another day The world around you closing in Madness coming on Day by day is rushing past Sanity is gone See the hell that you’ve been through Take a look around Pride always outlasts the pain You’ve got to stand your ground Carry on The world around you closing in Madness coming on Day by day is rushing past Sanity is gone See the hell that you’ve been through Take a look around Pride always outlasts the pain You’ve got to stand your ground Carry on

In the gray light before the dawn I breathe the mountain air A sea of peaks surrounding me Where only eagles dare A lofty goal lies ahead A means to an end Anticipation filling me Let the journey begin Ambition fuels the flame A passion burning deep inside Exhaustion quickly fades But pride will last a lifetime As the valley opens up Before me I see A vision of majestic beauty Calling out to me A summit for the bold indeed Though many more desire Standing tall amongst the clouds Soaring ever higher Ambition fuels the flame A passion burning deep inside Exhaustion quickly fades But pride will last a lifetime Touch the sky Exhilaration fills my mind Touch the sky A sense of freedom now I find Touch the sky A world of problems left behind Touch the sky My spirit soars; I am alive Passing treeline, I realize A timeless world awaits Oblivious to lives of men An unforgiving grace From the heights, a cold wind blows Across the open slopes Breathing life into the land Filling me with hope Ambition fuels the flame A passion burning deep inside Exhaustion quickly fades But pride will last a lifetime Touch the sky Exhilaration fills my mind Touch the sky A sense of freedom now I find Touch the sky A world of problems left behind Touch the sky My spirit soars; I am alive Now I’m fighting the thinning air With every step I take Climbing higher, the danger grows Another chance to take I carry on through force of will In the end I find Standing tall amongst the clouds The victory is mine Ambition fuels the flame A passion burning deep inside Exhaustion quickly fades But pride will last a lifetime Touch the sky Exhilaration fills my mind Touch the sky A sense of freedom now I find Touch the sky A world of problems left behind Touch the sky My spirit soars; I am alive

Welcome to Fear 09:12
lyrics
buy track
Suddenly awake in the dead of night The tangled sheets, a pounding heart Anxiety descends as the dream lingers on A premonition of your world come apart A conscience of guilt for imperfect crimes Lost in a world of ambition and greed Trusting the schemes and elaborate lies Now facing the chance the truth is revealed Confidence is washed away Security erodes with each passing day Welcome to fear The retribution Awakening the demon inside Welcome to fear Your time has ended The nightmare has come to life Pressure intense, the walls closing in Desperately seeking a means of escape Pacing the dark, your mind in turmoil Unable to bear the results of mistakes Blinded by the power in your mind Leading to destruction of your life Welcome to fear The retribution Awakening the demon inside Welcome to fear Your time has ended The nightmare has come to life Welcome to fear The retribution Awakening the demon inside Welcome to fear Your time has ended The nightmare has come to life

World of Lies 06:52
lyrics

I remember as a boy Young and so naïve A life of work and diligence Would bring prosperity In the modern world we’ve changed the rules Forgetting what we’ve lost Laws are bent and money taken Never mind the cost Dishonesty Breeds quietly Our human race Falls to disgrace Can I live in a world of lies Can I believe in anything We follow on the blind man’s lead Not that you care anyway Is there nothing left for which to stand Where no one has a right or wrong Can I live in this world of lies I ask myself how can I go on A man alone, struggling on Sees a better way He waits to strike and justifies He’s a victim anyway A litigating profit-seeker No one understands This trend they caused, out of control Society’s gone mad Dishonesty No morality Our human race Falls to disgrace Can I live in a world of lies Can I believe in anything We follow on the blind man’s lead Not that you care anyway Is there nothing left for which to stand Where no one has a right or wrong Can I live in this world of lies I ask myself how can I go on When we have fallen so far from grace There will come a time we’ll see our mistakes In every darkness a new dawn appears Will we find the strength to conquer our fears Can I live in a world of lies Can I believe in anything We follow on the blind man’s lead Not that you care anyway Is there nothing left for which to stand Where no one has a right or wrong Can I live in this world of lies I ask myself how can I go on

Broken Dreams 07:21

Many years ago I made a decision A change that wrecked my dreams And I’ve no one else to blame But the man in the mirror The face I see before me A child so filled with fear Hiding from failure The pressure built inside With my back against the wall Emotions taking over To my dreams, I said goodbye Broken dreams Now I count the cost Broken dreams And I realize what I’ve lost I’m a man with broken dreams Everyone makes mistakes But a wise man learns from others The past cannot be changed All my childhood dreams are gone But fate will bring another The hope will keep me sane Broken dreams Now I count the cost Broken dreams And I realize what I’ve lost I’m a man with broken dreams Broken dreams Now I pay the price Broken dreams For the rest of my life I’m a man with broken dreams

Keep the Flame Alive 10:18

Years rushing by and I’m feeling the changes That time has forced upon me Innocence fading with every new day Imprisoned by mortality Shadows of pain are lingering on Reflections of the aging within Fighting a war that’s never been won I will resist until the end Learning to live again No, this is not the end Remember Even in our darkest hour There will come a dawn Find the flame of hope inside Where all had once seemed lost Life, it needs not fade to gray With the passing time Resurrect the will to live And keep the flame alive Balance I seek of body and mind My sanity is tied to each Changing routines, I’m changing my fate The power of will rules destiny Learning to live again No, this is not the end Remember Even in our darkest hour There will come a dawn Find the flame of hope inside Where all had once seemed lost Life, it needs not fade to gray With the passing time Resurrect the will to live And keep the flame alive Even in our darkest hour There will come a dawn Find the flame of hope inside Where all had once seemed lost Life, it needs not fade to gray With the passing time Resurrect the will to live And keep the flame alive Even in our darkest hour There will come a dawn Find the flame of hope inside Where all had once seemed lost Life, it needs not fade to gray With the passing time Resurrect the will to live And keep the flame alive

Reflections 10:29
lyrics

As I look into the mirror A familiar face I see But do I really know The man behind it I pause for just a moment A break in my routine To open up the doors I’ve closed inside me Just below the surface Obscure memories The hope of finding truth Of knowing myself To discover hidden meanings Lost inside a dream A chance to see within Where I’ve been blinded Fading in and out of my consciousness Remnants of my past forgotten Reflections Shadows of my soul Reflections Growing quiet as I grow old Reflections Echoes of the past Reflections In the end, it’s all we have Looking back on my past Drifting through the years A sentimental Journey That fills a lifetime Roads that I have traveled The things that I have seen Searching for an answer But where to find it Fading in and out of my consciousness Remnants of my past forgotten Reflections Shadows of my soul Reflections Growing quiet as I grow old Reflections Echoes of the past Reflections In the end, it’s all we have Wandering through this world The path no longer seen Looking in the mirror I cannot hide it Yet deep within my memories Is the answer that I seek A pride that now reminds me Of the man that I am Fading in and out of my consciousness Remnants of my past forgotten Reflections Shadows of my soul Reflections Growing quiet as I grow old Reflections Echoes of the past Reflections In the end, it’s all we have

Premonition 11:33

Awakened in the night Fear runs through my mind Was it all just a dream Or the future have I seen I can’t stop nor can I hide From this terror inside But these visions are not for me The danger is yours I believe It’s a feeling washing over me It’s a feeling I can’t break free Premonition I can’t stop these visions Premonition Purge the scene from my head Premonition I feel the growing tension Premonition Where will this dream end Sleepless nights I lie awake Another day I await To carry on with our lives Though we have not much time Anxiety I cannot shake Could anyone ever relate I’ll go on holding inside My fear of each day of our lives It’s a feeling washing over me It’s a feeling I can’t break free Premonition I can’t stop these visions Premonition Purge the scene from my head Premonition I feel the growing tension Premonition Where will this dream end Premonition I can’t stop these visions Premonition Purge the scene from my head Premonition I feel the growing tension Premonition Where will this dream end Premonition I can’t stop these visions Premonition Purge the scene from my head Premonition I feel the growing tension Premonition Where will this dream end Where will it end Where will it end
