Intro 01:24

Rain falls on an empty brain City lights going Soul Train It smiles when it kills It shines when it hurts It says without a shame I’m gonna shatter your heart Could be worse, could be dark Could be that I could be dead Run through the night Devils passing by Love, smash with style Crash burn and die! Screaming screens, killer queens All you need is a shocker A blaze through the sky A knife through the eye All you need is a shocker Screaming screens, killer queens All is you need is a shocker A blink of an eye Not sorry you die All you need is a shocker It goes without a second thought The blood spills without a second cut Imagine all the chaos All the martyrs nailed to their cross’ Come on sugar take me hand Bury al nightmares and bitter ends A last shot for the road A last knot on the rope Could be worse, I could be dead Could be this, could be bad All I want is a trip Through the void inside your head
3.
When I take a look outside It’s dark, dark, dark A shapeless world full of shameless thoughts Is what I see in your shiny eyes This lovely chaos is what I’m craving for It’s a crazy drive I’ve never felt before I want more, more, more A one way ticket to your hidden shore A one way ticket... Never to return... A one way ticket... Slowly crash and burn As I sail to this untamed place It’s getting wild, wild, wild Broken chains and forgotten tears I’ve left forever this temple of fears I’ve drinked them all and puked the pain I no longer feel the cold in the rain Like an overwhelming feel that is gone forever This new inner strength is a delicious fever The waves are coming over and over Run, run, run if we see you ‘round the corner
4.
Through a broken window A smiling lonely widow In her heart, grey meets the red Meets the black meets the sun In a wounded vision of the sky Where strange colours and noises are melting Another day, another way Another concrete swing On empty broken chair The ghost of the old man dancing in the air Through the wind he tells the stories Of beautiful street tragedies From his mouth, pours light and dark, blood and gold In a torrent of shapeless beings He got the pulse of the concrete swing There’s no peace to be found in the city horizon We dance the concrete swing with ghosts in motion There’s no peace to find in the bleak horizon Just a black shining pool of strange delusions
5.
From the light rise and enter this world below Buried shadows crawling out in the sunset of all illusions It’s a realm without an end, a pleasure with a bitter taste A cover of dirt that warms these bloodied dying hands Feel and hear the beauty of the lightless sky Get swallowed by the night tide I get swallowed by the night tide Feels like walking in a streetless town Floating above unhallowed ground The lack of trust in hearts to find The empty echo of a dying kind This distant whisper is a silent tune Of a broken record written under the moon No longer burns in the eyes All is silenced by night cries Lost souls chanting lullabies Drifting away with the night tide We walk alone in a dreamless night All fears we tame for the final ride We’ve seen the signs of the end of times We’ve danced before the serpent’s shrine Losing ourselves in absolute bliss How can we stop this deadly kiss? Losing my mind in the serpent’s shrine As I flow with the night tide Drifting away with the night tide

Death Avenue 03:48
Down Death Avenue Your hate is burnin’ in the night It’s deep and bright, it’s cold as life And I hear it laughing by my side World peace can’t be done, so I’m riding on the wings of none Watching down a cold boulevard Ghosts tearing your soul apart Black rain of faceless children fallin' Freedom through winds of Death is callin' Hear the chant of the lifeless ones This final ride has just begun Down Death Avenue... Nothing new... Born of black smoke outta rotten lungs of the city Here they come, here they crawl the bottom of the concrete sea It’s an ominous feeling It’s clear... It’s all or nothing The blinding lights through reckless nights Along an endless highway Eyes passing by, no love in sight Can’t remember yesterday The silent lies invoke the skies In this sleepless disarray Unpredictable Double pressure comin' your way! Black rain of faceless children fallin' Freedom through winds of Death is callin' Hear them pray to the nameless one With the dead we sing along We love, we hate and we die We laugh to fate then we fly We never wonder why Cauz we doin' it our way Black rain of faceless children fallin' Freedom through winds of Death is callin' Hear the chant of the lifeless ones Hear them pray to the nameless one I see a bunch of us are fallin' Death Avenue tonight we’re ridin'

City Scars 05:04
Wandering cold under a rotten moon My body’s a canvas of city wounds Unspeakable thoughts from the sewer of my mind Where a black blood pours beyond the end of times Night awakes my darkest pleasures As I gather with cursed souls on fire In the dark hear the whisper of atrocious litanies Endless tales of death and unfulfilled prophecies This frantic colliding shines a thousand black lights Like bloodthirsty rats we will dance for a thousand nights Sit, cry, and laugh, and die in a shady bar Our love is beautiful like crashing cars Chaos, concrete and constant wars Rain won’t wash away these city scars
8.
Worlds Below 04:57
Swarming souls in an ocean of dust I’m losing all ability to trust The mind is set for infinity to check Certainty, I slowly break her neck Tears of blood are running down the mirror cracks Drawing an obscure warrior with her axe In her eyes all violence feels so divine I’m losing it all when I see her tearing the skies It’s a cold hearted feel when you fall on your knees When you fail to escape confusion There’s no clear state of mind when all is left behind And death lights the horizon Her battlefield is the ruins of this modern world A barren place where’s only the truth to be heard It’s the sound of her steps on a thousand corpses The sound of a life you’ve ceased to possess Seeking through the shadows Bounding with worlds below We’re sinking into the shadows We’re walking these worlds below Our eyes they forever glow Upon the ruins of tomorrow
9.
Someway 03:51
Walking through the desert sky Waiting on the threshold of time Barking at a black moon Setting fire to the world soon All bloods to be shared in one fire All souls to collide in fierce desire The rain, the pain It keeps away your soul from mine The The shame, the chain You’ve tied up around my heart Someway, someday I’ll break the skies and sing your name Climbing invisible mountains Grips frozen in time On a fate I could never hold But it seems so close somehow It’s lost somewhere in rimes It’s gonna take it’s time And through dark earths we will rise The true battle is within my mind
10.
Soon to forget what we are Too late to understand who we were A race without an end, slowly failing to pretend Blood spills from the one touching the sun with his hands Lay down under the crashing stars It doesn’t matter who you are Shake them bones There's a dance floor in the graveyard Lights out Keep groovin' deeper in the dark This one is for the souls who gather and laugh When there’s nothing left ahead For the ones who fear no longer And have a sesh with the dead These senseless details... It’s another grey morning, again the storm is callin' These cracks in the head, that’s where the hate is burning Can you hear? The dark drum rolls sounding the end of a world Can you feel? The cold that fills your heart when all love has turned to hate Can’t you see? It’s time to ride the tiger n’ fuckin' dive in the fire! Ears gone bleeding as the drums keep bangin They choke on ashes and with Death we’re singin Feels gone fadin and the storm keeps ragin At one with the end with Death we’re rollin
11.
Enter the lightless maze Caught in swirling corridors of grave Bleed under the moon Float in numbing turmoil and doom Wash the pain away Burn all the bridges leading astray Gaze into the void Die! Fly high and rejoice! Walk and dance through the valley of Death While they dive in moving sands sharing their fear and regrets Bounded on a quest fueled by cruel desire Like a silent army setting the whole world on fire The whole world on fire The scent of Death is gettin' me higher Gettin' me higher Like watching the whole world on fire Raining bodies painting the oceans with blood Slit throats chant the glory of all ends Witness the forever downfall Die, fly high and rejoice Enter the lightless maze Bleed under the moon Wash the pain away Gaze into the void Forever Dead Forever Dreaming Forever Drowning Forever Doomed Forever Dancing Forever Dust Forever Divided Forever Dying Forever Drilling Forever Deep Forever Depths Forever Death
12.
Allongé noir sur le trottoir Rien dans les yeux, rien dans le coeur Le vent souffle les cendres de l’espoir Oublie d’aimer, oublie les heures La haine me chante le même refrain Je prends sa main, m’éloigne des miens Des profondeurs de nos âmes noires La bile que je ravale de grand matin La haine me chante le même refrain Je prends sa main de grand matin Ô aube interminable Errance dans les ruelles Cicatrices urbaines Vile ritournelle Par quel moyen suis-je arrivé ici ? Que fais-je là ? Comment ai-je pu me perdre ainsi ?
