After Forever - Life′s Vortex

My mind is under an attack,
although no one sees
My past is pounding in the back of my memories
It′s always there to poison my mind with all I do
Feelings I know so well seem to come back
as if nothing′s ever changed

Fear was one of the reasons to crawl away into a world I lost
I know the rules,I play the game
but somehow it always stays the same
In spite of my will,in spite of my hope,in spite of it all

So for those who believe in this life,
spin right on this circle-must be round
Every turn has its vortex,you′ll drown if nobody warns you
and shows you another circle of life

Nothing will change,
nothing is done for the victim I am forced to remain
Cause these days make you feel,and you are,on your own

Study,work hard,marry,reproduce and become the perfect model
Can you stand the test of time if life is a vicious circle
without the mirror of another path

So for those who believe in this life
spin right on the circle-must be round
Every turn has its vortex,you′ll drown if nobody warns you
and shows you another circle of life

After Forever - One Day I′ll Fly Away

I may get along, when love is gone
Still you made your mark, here in my heart
One day I′ll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
I follow the night
Can′t stand the light
When will I begin
My life again
One day I′ll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day that dreaming ends

After Forever - Live & Learn

I′ll be climbing another high mountain
I will climb and climb to see what lies far beyond all my restrictions
A glimpse of a better me

I′ll be diving another deep ocean
I will dive and dive to reach for what lies beyond my restrictions
A deeper me

I know many doors are waiting for keys in life
Waiting for courage to learn what′s kept hidden

I′ll be running another great distance
I will run and run to know what lies far beyond all my restrictions
To run into a faster me

I′ll be loving another great challenge
I will love and love to feel what lies deep within my inner chambers
Where′s the key!?

I know many doors are waiting for keys in life
Waiting for courage to learn what′s kept hidden
I know many doors are waiting for keys in life
Waiting for courage to learn what′s kept hidden

Keep moving on
Live and learn, the future lies open
Keep going strong
Search for the key, to open the next door

Now don′t let words hold you back from dreaming
The future is yours and you′re brave enough to choose your path
And to embrace all that comes to you
All you can bear
Hidden by dreams, hidden: So it seems
The challenge your fear
The courage is here, unlock!

I know many doors are waiting for keys in life
Waiting for courage to learn what′s kept hidden
I know many doors are waiting for keys in life
Waiting for courage to learn what′s kept hidden

After Forever - Taste The Day

If you don′t see
If you forget what you have
Not just what you can get
If you cannot embrace it, you will lose what gives you strength

Holding on to life
Fortune lies within

You can never love if you are not in love with life itself
If you cannot embrace that you will never find true strength

Holding on to life
Passion within!

Oh, feel the day
Can you remagine yourself?
Oh, taste the day
Will you remagine your life?

Can you relish in your luck, can you?
Or overcome your pain?
Can you be happy?

Oh, feel the day
Can you remagine yourself?
Oh, taste the day
Will you remagine your life?

After Forever - Estranged

Diving in the lake of thousand faces
Every sign seems a delusion
And fills me with doubt
I shouldn′t look for certainty
Among these disorderly impressions
But still I do...

Being estranged
Slowly I loose the grip on the reality
Time shall shatter what we have built up
Being estranged
From the reliable
Don′t even recognize the warmth
You always fulfilled me with

Break through my crystallized sphere and hold me
Enter my deepest inner self

Imprison the pain
Besieging in vain

It feels like I′m in the middle of a movie
Gazing at the script
It shows me new insights
Delighted by the bygone sufferings
But already waiting for the next ones

I bend forward and look between the ripples of the lake
It′s the leading character...

Break through my crystallized sphere and hold me
Wherever you are

Deceitful memories mingled with reality
I hold myself to the timeless spell
Fascinated by never knowing if it really happened

After Forever - Leaden Legacy

I can′t look behind because I′m living in the past
Tears without emotion are filling up the unbridled hours

We cannot be
What you expect from us
We cannot see through the glasses of despair
Evade the leaden legacy

Those who separate and join the opposite
do not see that that will get them nowhere
Can′t you understand it is a similar manipulation
Wake up and see the light

Doomed to wander in repressed emotions
This imaginary refuge restrains me from awakening

Fear of penance
Doomed to sycophancy

Doomed to sycophancy...

After Forever - Silence From Afar

When the fate leaves you behind
and drags me of to an unknown destination
Shall my tears shape a sea
on which your boat has to reach the area

When the storm is most violent
and the horizon seems to be far away
You′ll find strength to go on
and conquer the misery that wants to bring you down

When silence from afar is close at hand
our harmony becomes as elusive as time

Viribus exhaustus sentio meum finem
Meam amicam viduam relinquens

After Forever - Black Tomb

The storm sings through the mountains
While the rain is falling
A tomb opens itself and lights up the dreary dark valley
The warm spirits fill him, the enchantment of his glory past

Hear his low voice whisper
Feel his powers
Change the light of darkness
His sanctity, his strength

He will rule like before the tomb closed
Tainted souls live again
The sweet vengeance versus the black spirits of evil

Into the light, back into death, now it is time!
It will depend on the righteous or doomed
Like once before opened this tomb, for the revenge is mine

Mother of the found, king of doom
The fane of blackness, fountain of blood
Take those enthroned, their poison inside
Let them crawl till the end of time, die

After Forever - De-Energized

You take, you give nothing but misery
You are reluctant in your vanity
Your eyes are blinded by your conceit
You turn my fire into negative energy!

You are stranged by your jealousy
A weakness in your personality
Your lack of social skills annoy me
Your fuel, my hate by your negative energy!

I see a false alliance causing all this pain
I see a sick relation ending up in vain
I see a world in war because of pride and might
I feel it all getting de-energized

I am amazed by your ability
To make me feel all this insanity
I am discouraged by your falsity
You sink so low to get things done your way

Unwilling, absent, dissenting
Conflicting, adverse, annoying
You′re cureless, painless, disgusting
False, ruthless, blinded, recusant

You damage, injure and destroy
Unbalanced, troubled, unfaithful
You′re senseless, heartless and fearless
Cold, hostile, distant and empty
You are a freak!

You won′t get closer to my dignity
Something you′ve lost, just like empathy
I won′t degrade to your pathetic ways
Nor let take any more positive energy

After Forever - Blind Pain

Everything keeps getting worse
The terror at home, the dread at school
I mustn′t count on much support,
I′m still locked out; it′s up to me,
how to face the teasing and the pain
Hate, one thing we have in common
Play your game

Beat me, hurt me
A physical release from mental pain
Don′t make me explode in your way

This is a chain of torture,
a line of pain, no other way to show how you feel
This is the rebel in her, the torment from him,
the absence of help, the mother′s care

Rage, it burns all around us
Blind pain
So abuse is only weakness
It feels more like a cry of distress, an act of incapacity
Feel the threat
Feel the oppressed ambience of having no place to go,
no one who′ll take care of my salvation

This is a chain of torture,
a line of pain, no other way to show how you feel
This is the rebel in her, the torment from him,
the absence of help, the mother′s care

Here comes the final episode
of terror and pain, abuse and hope
Here comes the fight between us all
A fight between a love long gone
I′m to blame, but it′s their own blind pain

Spoken outro:
Now look where you and your selfish ambitions have gotten us!
It′s never been worse!You gotta work, work work, come back without
even noticing me or that ignorant kid of yours! You only think about yourself.
I only think about myself, it′s me again? You self-centered bitch!
You′re the one complaining all the time, but when that kid freaks out, who′s
supposed to take care of her, huh?! Besides, it′s not my child! Wasn′t it ours,
our little ′saviour′ of a love we never had? A fucking...
Yeah, there is no ′us′ anymore, darling! Ever since she was born
and I was left at your apparment raising her, I think about all I ever dreamed
of because of ′our′ decisions! We both should have made compromises,
but the only one who did was me!
Oh, there you go again! You feel awfully sorry for yourself; why
don′t you take a look at my side of the story for once?
Ah, yeah sure, ′your side′... well, excuse the fuck out of me for being
in your way! A child you never wanted, living in a smaller house than you′ve
ever dreamed of, and all the while I′m getting old and ugly, right?
You must really long for somebody young and fresh, or if this means already...
Enough!! Don′t you dare accuse me of being unfaithful! That′s
how you ruined my loyalty; I can′t believe I once fell in love with a...
Oh, neither can I, you bastard! Neither can I! And loyal? I dind′t
know you′re familiar with that word!
There′s a lot you don′t know, a lot you′ll never understand!
We′ve lost contact, baby.
Oh yeah, really? Well, that doesn′t seem to bother you. Why don′t
you just go on? Go, go! Drift off away on that little island of yours and don′t
forget to drown on your way to a better life!!
Maybe I will, maybe I will! I′d rather drown than be locked up with
such a freaed up bith and a freaky daughter! I can′t believe we′re still
holding a conversation about something so stupid!!
Fine, go! Just GO!! Drown! I hope it′ll be slow and painful!
Shut your fucking mouth!
Asshole... Asshole!

After Forever - Ephemeral

An empty gaze reflects the contradiction
Alleged strength, so fragile
No more than compassion

Ephemeral gatherings without interaction
Be sincere and announce your departure

A vallum of fairy tales smashed into reality
Projected on the ruins of a castle in the air

After Forever - Glorifying Means

Fantasy, misery came together
In the world of guilt and pain
A neverending game

Do not reject me, I was better off without
But in my agonized existence I needed to be free

Free my mind, free my soul
I do not need to feel no more,
Feel no more, I′m better off this way
Alone, far from the past and its brutal face
I still feel the disgust and pain
Let me be free

This is my life today, this is the way it went out of control
I cannot do without this gloryfying means, my remedy,
The amazing illusions, fantasies

Fantasy, not for me, like another mirror of reality,
Another point of view

Don′t disbelieve me, I really tried to do without
But with sadness as a companion it′s hard to do
Without the seduction, to become someone I′m not
But in this beautiful deception I′ll overcome the night
Another day, another week, I′ll overcome time

Colors seem to flow, they seem to come alive
While the sound of life is stronger than before
It′s more than a dream, this is so real
I swim and I fly, I never feel more than I need, that I fear

I roam, I cry, I am paralyzed
I can fight the world!

The sense of time is not important now
Just like the past, just like right now
There′s no illusion that this is for real!

Observe me, control me
Tell me what is best, what′s good
Tell me how it worked for you
Tell me how to find myself, find respect, find the strenght
Facing life so pure and clean, mean and hard
All these words can′t cure nor heal

After Forever - Being Everyone

Who am I at night when my eyes are closed tight?
Who am I and where when I see far beyond?
Every border, every dream, every hidden memory
Every nightmare, truth or dare
Who do I see...

Now!
Look at me,
Tell me what you see
Are we just being everyone?

Where am I?
Tell me, would you go?
I should stay
Where am I, where am I?
And where should I go tonight?
Every night a different thing,
Every time you′re in a different dream
Am I me there, what am I?
Who will I be...

Now!
Look at me,
Tell me what you see
Are we just being everyone?
Look at me,
Tell me what you see
Are we being everyone?

I cry, I fall
I love, I hate
I know many, though no face ever stays
I breathe, I fly
I kill, I die
Though there′s nothing that I know
No-one can recall where I have been or who I was

Look at me,
Tell me what you see
Are we being everyone?

Look at me,
Tell me what you see
Are we just being everyone?
Look at me,
Tell me what you see
Are we being everyone?

After Forever - Withering Time

Withering time
So elusive, so shapeless
Graceful coil
Crumbling glory
It will revive
Exalt the endless chain
Exalt the withering times

Time decides what lives or dies
Time can crawl, time can fly
It can wither and erase
It can make a new beginning
There′s nothing time can′t beat
There is nothing time will need
To destroy and bloom again
A vicious circle older than the earth
Decay, destroy to reform again
Withering time

Withering time
So elusive, so shapeless
Graceful coil
Crumbling glory
It will revive
Exalt the endless chain
Exalt the withering times

Broken windows, blistering paint
Lashing winds, hot suns and rain
wood has splintered, walls are cracked
The elements are just vicious
All what men have made won′t last
In the future as in the past
But our memories are strong
And we′ll outlive all circles of time
Time, transcend beyond all life,
Trancend beyond

On! Until the end of time, on and on
Live! Before we waste our time, before we run out
Broken, blistering, lashing, splitering, cracking, crawling, flying, withering time

Withering time
So elusive, so shapeless
Graceful coil
Crumbling glory
It will revive
Withering time
So elusive, so shapeless
Graceful coil
Crumbling glory
It will revive
Exalt the endless chain
Exalt the withering times

After Forever - Evil That Men Do

Love is a razor, and I walked the line on that silver blade.
Slept in the dust with his daugter, her eyes red with slaughter of innocence.
But will pray for her.
I will call her name out loud.
I would bleed for her.
If I could only see her now.

Living on a razors edge.
Balancing on a ledge.
Living on a razors edge, yeah.
Balancing on a ledge, yeah.
Balancing on a ledge, yeah.
Living on a razors edge.
Balancing on a ledge, you know.
you know.

The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.

Circle of fire, my baptism of joy, at an end it seems.
The seventh lamb slain, as the book of life opens before me.
But I will pray for you.
And some day I may return.
Don′t you cry for me
Beyond is where I learn.

Living on a razors edge.
Balancing on a ledge.
Living on a razors edge, you know.
You know.

The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.

Living on a razors edge.
Balancing on a ledge.
Living on a razors edge, you know.
You know.

The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.

After Forever - Victim Of Choices

See my life, the failure, you′ll make the same mistakes
a child, marriage, your choices, they′re all in your hands

Where were you when I needed you
Your interference is not welcome now

I can′t believe these words
showing feelings that he never had,such a human behaviour
did she teach him these feelings of hate

Stop! I want you to listen
There is so much at stake
the child, victim of choices
She could never make

I listened but you never spoke
this child is not yours

What are they talking about
Her voice full of compassion
She′s warning of things from the past
a victim of choices

Give her a chance to explain why she′s here
She will interfere with all that we are
Maybe her fear is a sign she′s for real
Her fear is too late,she is to blame

Fighting and blaming, they don′t know much more
It scares and excites me, the past repeats itself

NO! We′re all victims

I try to feel and understand
That their distant past is like my life today
It′s a circle, a curse
I am one of the victims
One of their, one of your victims

Energize me with a simple touch
Or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame
That′s burning between us

It′s not a fantasy
Another mistery
It′s just what I can feel
And something I can see
It′s like a memory
An inner melody
It′s just what we all know
And we all hear

I was blind
I was closed down
Could not feel
Or set it free

Energize me with a simple touch
Or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame
That′s burning between us

It lies in everyone
This whirling energy
It′s all around us too
Electrifying you
So can′t you set it free?
This virtue is the key
To something we all know
And we all use

I can feel
It′s inside me
Open up
Enlighten me

Energize me with a simple touch
Or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame
That′s burning between us

Energize me with a simple smile
Open up your mind
Energize me activate that light
That′s given and taken

Can you believe in the power that′s burning between us?
Would you believe if you open up your mind
Open up your heart

Energize me with a simple touch
Or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame
That′s burning between us

Energize me with a simple smile
Open up your mind
Energize me, fire up this flame
That′s burning forever

After Forever - Equally Destructive

Ground is shaking, waves are breaking
The wind has lost control
The air is shifting
While it′s lifting
Force fools gravity

A huge eruptions
Fast explosions
As it bursts the earth
Water′s pounding
Waves are sounding
Deadly and extreme

But we are equally destructive

Equally destructive as we are!
Don′t you think we′ve all so gone too far?
We are just a part of this machine and it′s endless stream

Alarming silence
Predicts the violence
That is yet to come
We are senseless
Proud while blindness is catching up with us

We must measure
While the pressure of nature′s force expands
We feel minor, punished and meager
Betrayed by all our gods

We are a part of it
We are equally destructive

Equally destructive as we are!
Don′t you think we′ve all so gone too far?
We are just a part of this machine
In this endless stream

My will stands strong
I ache for inspirational and additional hearts to help me fight

Deep in my mind lies the map of my destiny
Deep in my heart lies the strength to conquer myself

In your nightmares
In your dreams lies the deepest fear
In ambitions
In belief lies the deepest strength

I doubt
Don′t care
Don′t see what has ever driven me
A wall

All rending thoughts can′t end

In need of comprihensible but sensational plans to fight

Deep in my mind lies the map of my destiny
Deep in my heart lies the strength to conquer myself

After Forever - Intrinsic

At night, assimilate life
In the infinite realm
Of our intrinsic side

Find, the missing parts of the mind
The hidden truth behind
Our dungeon of thoughts, this labyrinth

Search, it has a reason and a meaning
Remembered and repeated
A guide, not to be ignored

Feel, there′s so much to feel
Amnesia must confiscate an elusive link
to consciousness

It′s there; cause there′s so much we don′t know
Even our own true face
It′s there, facing what we can′t have

Our ideals ain′t true, naked and exposed
To the bareness of what′s real
Boundless fantasy, becomes reality
As we breathe water and run through the sand

Whispers and a scream, flying high, falling down
And a face with no features or name
Exposed to live, we can only divine
Tell me, what′s your reality?

Cry with a smile

Bewildered I′m here alone
Why is there in a beautiful moment?
Why do I feel so lost, so empty?

Why stay locked in a deeply sad moment?

Take my heart a little while
Take it with you to the place you′ll go

Cry with a smile
My heart was dreaming
Of time I new would come to an end
Why do I cry about a beautiful memory?
Why do I feel so hurt, so lonely?

After Forever - Tortuous Threnody

Thy gruesome cries so thin
On thus you will succeed
The amorphous illusions
Thwart your willingness to believe

The beauty disturbed

The amulet, opener of forgotten doors
Leads back to that doomed tiara-night
See thyself wild in hysteria
Death′s irony

The beauty disturbed

Listen to this tortuous threnody
Filled with the pain
Thou can see where betrayal shall bring thee
Death′s obligatory

Where all elements melt to one
And odious memories perish together with you
Should have seen the omen, the mirror
Death′s reality

Cry, your threnody will be heard
For thy suffocated minds
The tortuous sound as angels′ voices
The phobia, in search for ancestral blood

An arable force from the past
Leads back to the atrocious roots
The deep inner soul, never to be exposed

The axiom you can′t deny or better
Drags you down into a lost abyss
The hymn stops, fear will reign
Death′s cruelty

Life at its best
You are doing fine
But your blind
It′s china you hold
As it breaks
Suddenly it′s clear
Beautiful, but transitory

But we won′t break easy
We won′t give in
To an unbearable pain
We pull through
We won′t crack
We′ll endure and survive?

Oh, transitory
Pain is as life itself
Evanescent as it fades
Transitory!

Life, all you′ve got
All was swept away
Now you see
What there is to miss
Suddenly you′re stronger tah you thought
As you know it′s transitory

Cause we won′t break
Survival is all we′ve got
And our unbearable grief
We′ll hold on and won′t crack
And we′ll value all life

Oh, transitory
Pain is as life itself
Evanescent as it fades

Here, here in this heart
It′s cold, cold as stone

Must welcome these memories
As shallow as my eyes have slowly become

Hearts, frail heart left broken
Cold and known for its bitter agony

Here are the memories
As empty as my life has slowly become
Sting, crush and bite in my soul, my heart bleeds

Times changed forever that night
Leaving only empty memories
Empty memories won′t heal the pain

We know only sorrow
There′s no future in tomorrow
All our hopes were buried to young
For the years that should have followed

We know only hatred
There′s no future in our anguish
For our hope was buried with life
And reprisal will be ours

It′s empty
We′re empty
They′re empty memories

Here, here in this heart
Cold as stone
For no feelings there to warm
It is as empty as our dreams and hopes
Now our future is gone
It stings and bites in my soul, my heart bleeds

Times changed forever that night
Leaving only empty memories
Time once changed forever that night
Leaving me... No, no, no
Above with empty memories
Empty memories
Empty memories

After Forever - Semblance Of Confusion

As the light′s becoming more fierce and the heat is melting your heart
The fire is awakening there′s an ancient fear we all know
Ominous, misleading, get entangled in yourself

It′s a feeling, creeps up, deep within
Sweet taste of innocence forgotten
A semblance of confusion
The strength I need is now flowing away
The choking feeling obstructs everything

So erratic in search for the truth
The pain is strong and persists
Silence was just a diversion to come out on the hard truth again
Leaving this world of illusions seen through the eyes of the innocent
Confronted with the infinity of chaos, forcing you to rearrange

When your litanies are unheard
Phantasm becomes coldly real
There′s a thin line between the world of illusion and reality
A purgatoric trip through the mirrors within you
Unconsciousness beholden

Fear to face pass the border of pain, that burning contagion
To break, conquer and find lost beauty
Rinse, the penance is over
I know now where to find the answer
Confronting unconsciousness

After Forever - Two Sides

Somehow everything′s getting worse
My fight is just one of their struggles
And have I seen it all
Oh no, now their hate′s reaching the top
And guess who′s to blame
And guess who′s responsible

If pain is our line
The one that connects us in life
Should we hold on

I only feel their shame when I′m near
Life should be more than this
Should be warmer than this
Cause there′s more grief and pain, oh yes
There is more than what I caused
Things beyond me
And their eyes reflect things
They′ll never say out loud

If pain is our line,
The one that connects us in life
Should we hold on

Our dreams, ambitions and passion
Our plans for the future, our combined goals
A life with status, respect and adoration
Our wishes and hope destroyed at once
Without those things to connect us
A life together is even worse than alone
We all need two sides of the story

Two sides,one can become a reflection
Of the truth, a lie
You′ll be judging soon
Two sides, they both have their emotions
Opinions and thoughts
On who′s to blame on reality, can you tell

If pain is our line
The one that connects us in life
Should we hold on

After Forever - Yield To Temptation

They told you not to yield to temptation and opened their arms...
...Make your own inferences...

Inscrutable chaos in my head
Inevitably
Greed will take its toll
Why
There′s no place to hide
Let me free myself

The anathema′s driving millions
together in the pustules of our earth
Greed and self-denial the cause of
unimpeded desecration of the truth

They told you not to yield to temptation
but offered you only hypocrisy and ruin

The phantom of damnation
threw her coat over humanity

Captive in the shackles of this indoctrination
depraved souls wished to be pure
Delight in deformity the last convulsions
are building up a bridge to a new era
The assumption of a faded supposition
Never shall I be a marionette !

The embrace that smothers...

After Forever - Boundaries Are Open

I see clearly all my dreams
(you can imagine your whole life)
I know chance is always near
(with a mind full of conceit)
Make my own reality
(do you even know the truth)
just imagine

Boundries are open

Cause you cannot control this
(dreams keep slipping from my hands)
My reality differs from yours
(I must do just what I feel)
The power of imagination is strong
(keep trying, again and again)
So we only try to imagine

Will the force be so strong it will control one′s mind?
Will this power delude or widen the madness that renders blind?

So the frontiers of our conceit
then will become indistinct to vanish in thin air

Boundries are open
But don′t believe it′s real

So does faith have roots in imagination?
Who is right in the grim and endless fight for revelation?
I cannot tell what′s right or wrong
For we all dwell in imaginary borderland

Boundries are open
But don′t believe it′s real

After Forever - Wings Of Illusion

When the fate leaves you behind
and drags me of to an unknown destination
Shall my tears shape a sea
on which your boat has to reach the area

When the storm is most violent
and the horizon seems to be far away
You′ll find strength to go on
and conquer the misery that wants to bring you down

When silence from afar is close at hand
Our harmony becomes as elusive like time

Viribus exhaustus sentio meum finem
Meam amicam viduam relinquens

After Forever - Follow In The Cry

Behind your facade hides an indomitable
lust for power and tyranny
Taking advantage of your pendencies

Fear is the doom, doom of us all
Instead of exterminating the weed
We allow it to overgrow our function

All means are justified for the "djihad fi sabil Allah"

I embrace you, accept my soul
I shall make my life subordinate to you
Live like your rules and laws prescribe
and follow you wherever I go

Follow in the cry

Hang this heretic who′s indulged in unchaste thoughts
Silence him such as the laws of the vellums prescribe
Pusillanimous massacres the order of the day
On behalf of power-hungry fundamentalists

After Forever - Inimical Chimera

In the imperium with emerald valleys
There where endlessness encircles you

A goddess lost her aureole
Created her own domain

This valley of doom where I′m the token
She′ll be throwing the dice this time

A goddess lost her aureole
Evil took over her godless soul
Swallowing you in the rivers of blood
Morbid games played with you, you token

Clouds are roaming around the pale moon
An inimical gloom covers the valleys
I′m the cephalic empress of this doomed celestial empire
Hear the orchestra of death

I wade in blood in search for my inevitable death
The dice are rolling now

After Forever - Face Your Demons

Jack in a box and here I am
You′re favourite mirror and your only honest reflection and your guide
I am you deepest fear, the one you′ll always hear
I am the devil in disguise, I am your dream

I am the sneaky connection to your most devlish reflection
The scary imagination of the real you

I represent what you deny
You′re never scared so why are you running away
from the temptation of my words
Oh you don′t know what I could do for you
Or I could put you through..
And you don′t really understand that only fear leads this game

Face your demons
Hear that inner voice
It calls, it cries for you
Just listen well
I′m the one who′ll tell terrifying, scary, dreadful tales

You′d better listen
That′s some free advice
So what scares you the most
Let me know, be a good host
I want to tell you how your fear looks and how to play this game

Face your demons
Hear that inner voice
It calls, it cries for you
Just listen well
I′m the one who′ll tell terrifying, scary, dreadful tales

War is breaking loose, it cannot be stopped
Cars are racing by and you′re getting crushed
Friends are dying slow with a lot of pain
You just fear it all

Bleeding from a wound that you cannot see
And you′re seeing things that can never be
God is not made up and he wants revenge
You just fear it all
Fear
You just fear, you can only fear
Face your demons

So did you know that all your memories
Color all you′ll ever be in a dark and misty cloud that I am floating on
I′m still the voice that speaks inside your head
The demon under your bed
I′m still the one who haunts your soul with devlish lust for fright

Face your demons
Hear that inner voice
It calls, it cries for you
Just listen well
I′m the one who′ll tell scary, dreadful tales

Face your demons
Hear that inner voice
It calls, it cries for you
Just listen well
I′m the one who′ll tell terrifying, scary, dreadful tales

After Forever - My Pledge Of Allegiance #1

She kept her beauty concealed behind a curtain of suspense
And endures her fate, moulded by an ancient culture

The honour wasn′t allowed to be injured
She is going to live as her community expects her to
I find myself confined between furtive desires and feelings of guilt

[The letter:]
These are my last words
I′m gonna leave you
I can′t stand your narrow mindedness any longer
Forgive me...

After Forever - Imperfect Tenses

Why can′t they see?
They′re to blame, I can′t forgive
It left a permanent mark behind,
My weakness, my strength

I′m waiting for the perfect sign
To reveal what lies inside
There′s no lie in trying,
Why do you fear me?

Why can′t you see?
There′s neither blame nor forgiveness
Be strong by being susceptible,
And don′t quail; your frankness is your strength
And shows their weakness

I′m / Your waiting for the perfect sign
To reveal what lies inside
There′s no lie in trying
Why do you fear me?

Why should I fear you?
An open heart is just as confronting as honesty!

Why can′t I forgive?
You must stop to condemn the past

Why can′t this fear be my guide?
It will be your strength if you dare

There′s no blame in my life
Nor forgiveness for the pain

I will show them!
Let them know who you are!
This is my/your perfect revelation

After Forever - Zenith

Is there something you feel?
Is there something you furtively know?
Under the spell of science,
Can we declare?

Can we allow ourselves to experience?
Can we be open-minded enough?
Won′t we fear what we cannot defy?
Do we need to declare?
Break the force of habit!

Why can′t you see?
Fear will impede you to break through your trivial life
And find the missing aim to evolve

Is this the frontier, our zenith?

Can we be receptive to our ignorance?
Will or won′t we be able to reveal?
Dulled senses and the need for proven theories
Has masked our natural insight in life
And mysteries

Life is discussed and measurable
Every aberration is observed with agony and suspicion
Until it is declared again

After Forever - Digital Deceit

Come enter; here′s my world
Closed off from pain and cold
Come enter; come inside
A secret place of light
′Cause in this world I′m rid of you, you can′t get through

So here I am; I′m beautifull
and I′m sure my friends will tell you the same
So here I am; you can′t deny that I am someone you′d embrace
I am the queen; I′m pure and loved by everyone

Come enter; here′s my code
Through the world wide wire you′ll know me
The queen of her own world
My story; meet my life

So now you see, there is another me
Not someone insecure and strange
My father′s will in here, it doesn′t mean a thing
And I don′t fear his violent rage

I am the queen; You know I′m loved by everyone

Come enter; here′s my code
Through the world wide wire you′ll know me
The queen of her own world

Stop dreaming and wake up
Your silly world is not what′s real
This world of fake friends
and computers, digital deceit

This cyberwall (this cyber wall)
is built to break out or hold
The choice is yours (the choice is yours),
will you dream or see what′s real

Oh... no, no more
Just let me be alone with myself
These conflicting thoughts increase my doubts

I am the queen, I must be loved
This so called ′wall′ is there to protect
A life controlled by keys, closed off from pain and cold

After Forever - Reflections

I′m in a spiral of thoughts,the past,the pain, it all comes back
I see but now I see more,even feel their side of this tale
I realise their fate,no one′s to blame, two sides

My life′s a mirror that no one sees
so if I could show them my own vision to this world
My life′s a mirror I need them to see,
so they would open up to me and fill up my emptiness

I still really try to feel, a strang experience to enter the other side
I feel there′s so much we never said
It′s all misunderstood, the emotions that we had

My life′s a mirror that no one sees,
so if I could show them my own vision to this world
My life′s a mirror I need them to see

Voice in the back of her head
Maybe if you would have the guts to open up
maybe the world would do the same,maybe,maybe
You can still be a part of this world,still be the queen of the ball
not of your own empty paradise where no one sees the beauty inside

Face the world outside my safe shell
I must face reality for once
I′ve never felt the passion of a warm life
Games, TV, I know they′re not real, they′re just a substitute

This could mean
the breaking point in these three lives
The moment of insight that could change their misfortune
Let this help be enough to make it
Let this be stronger than pain,the ancient wall between love and the comprehension
that will lead to the inner forgiveness
A reflection outside the circle of your life is all you should seek

After Forever - Sins Of Idealism

Hello Father, hello mother
There is so much I don′t get
Please don′t be mad at me; I will try harder.
I′ll really try the best I can
That′s not enough
You′re the cause of my domestic captivity

And I will close my eyes and fantasize
of a world that′s not so cold
That′s how it will be
Suffer the causes of my personal misery
I′ve sacrificed my beauty
my freedom, my dreams
the independent me

Hello Father, hello mother
don′t blame me
for things I didn′t do
Yes I will go now and I′ll be silent;
please stop screaming, and love me.
That′s all you can see
Speak of love while you′ve ruined
what′s meant to be

And then I′ll close my eyes
to fantasize of a world
Where I can be free
And free to be.

Sinner or righteous,
the line is so thin
can you condemn it
Can you be the one to judge it all
Or accuse yourself if the sentence is your life

Hello Father, hello mother;
forgive me for standing in your way
I just wanted somebody who′d hold me and listen,
are these illusions are they.
Only fantasies?
Imagine how my life could have been
I would still have my beauty, my freedom, my dreams,
The independent me

Our Course in life is a path we must take alone
No one can choose what to do.
only you, so the sins we commit are the struggles within
There is no judge to decide what is right, what is wrong

Tell me, can you live in freedom
knowing that your choice hurt someone

Once we had a life and now we have you
The saviour of love is a catastrophe
I′ll leave you both if I must give up my dreams
My chances aren′t here with you
I won′t be chained because of this

The sins of all, the sinner in me
I follow my dreams, you call it blasphemy
If my ideals are sins
Yo me they are the strength within
Then I shall stay a sinner

Sinner or righteous, the line is so thin
Can you condemn it
Can you be the one to judge it all
Or accuse yourself if the sentence is your life

After Forever - Only Everything

Couloured chambers, Fine illusions, or a gate to space
Endless stairways, fine delusions, all under my command
I′d change the sky to paint it red
I′d change the colours of life, and play with time
It′s all mine!
It′s only everything, all that I wanted to be
Cause it′s only everything

And wise, wiser than time, wiser than life, wiser than me, only
me...

This is the end of all reason, the inner mirror reveals
There′s more beyond what you′re sure of, the fantasy of dreams
It′s always there, the only emotion we all seem to keep down
There, while exploring dimensions
There is more, only everything

Dream! As bright or dark, as warm or hard the mind is set on
Dream! You lose control, you loose your freedom to confine it

I don′t want to see this, I don′t want this pain I never knew
before

Feel, we′re on the loose
Impressions are enlarged

I don′t want to hear this, I don′t want to dream to feel this
again
Or to get a taste

This could be the end of all reason, the inner mirror reveals
There′s more beyond what you′re sure of, the fantasy of dreams
It′s always there, the only emotion we all seem to keep down
There, still exploring dimensions
There is more, only everything

Become me, come feel alog with all you see
Controll me, control the keys
Do you dare to be
So deep, will you surrender now to your sleep?
Re-live your daydreams and
Come join this inner wonderland
Come let every emotion stand
To be right under your command
To let out fantasies
To change them into mysteries
Where time loses all memories
To luck and bitter agony
Re-live your daydreams awake
So join the magic of your life
Just dare to take the inner drive
To see it′s only everything you can be doing tonight

Dream! as cool or hot, as smooth or rough the mind′s creating
Dream! Enjoy the ride, enjoy the boundless journey you can make

I can be the maker, I can be the queen of time and twisted games

See you′re on the loose
Images enlarged

I will need no reason
I just need the mirror inside me to reveal what′s down below

This must be the end of all reason, the inner mirror reveals
There′s more beyond what you′re sure of, the fantasy of dreams
It′s always there, the only emotion we all seem to keep down
There, while exploring dimensions
There is more, only everything

After Forever - The Key

The eyes, looking so cold
Condemn failure
And seek for perfection
What will never be attained

They′re judging the denying face which stares back
A bewildered revelation

Show me objectivity
And let these eyes judge again

You cannot touch what you can′t ever obtain
I′m inexhaustible
As well as empty in my bitter search

My words are yours,
my voice speaks for your thoughts
I am your mirror without remorse,
your reflection without doubts

I fall and fall
I must learn from the bruises
The scars will be my guide

There′s no excuse in ignorance
No time for weakness or regret
Face your mirror without doubt
Your reflection without remorse

If knowledge was wisdom
And wisdom the key to inner rest
Teach me...

After Forever - Through Square Eyes

This is the world through square eyes,
I can see fiction like it′s real
Window to an unknown paradise
A paradise where no one sees
I wish I saw it all,
A paradise where no one knows,
all these images for real, the reality

It′s a seduction, like a dream
I can feel pain, I feel the blood
Out of your hands but in your minds
The fire of the burning fight
I wish I saw it all, I feel love as a disease,
all these images for real, in my fantasy

Good or evil, right or wrong
Find yourself between the dying crowd, the blooded streets
How can′t this affect a mind
How can′t this affect a pure, young heart

In my own world it′s getting worse
It′s never good enough for them
Learn this, do that, do as we say
As if results are all there is
It doesn′t affect me much, I cannot be more than I am,
the screen shows me enough, face reality

I can play I′m strong and tough
And let them feel who should be blamed
Fighting and killing for new lives
A way to learn how to survive
I can play on and on, it ends up just the same again
but my life is not a game, life should be a game

Good or evil, right or wrong
Find yourself between the dying crowd, the blooded streets
How can′t this affect a mind
How can′t this affect a pure, young heart

Hope is fragile,
and all there is to make them see I′m not that bad
Hope is the last reason not to flee, not to run away
into the tempting square world of fantasy, free me
Oh, free me

Hate is an impulse
Your aversion, my reason

Games, movies, things a child should not see
A flash; see, but you won′t forget
A game; play, play and hear and see, again
It marks the heart and spills our youth

I′m in the world of square minds
The beauty of a clearer world
Fighting a game, its name is life
The game of life is hard to fight
I′ve shot my hate today, you′ll know the causes when it′s too late
its embodiment has paid, feel reality

The pictures say more than you see
Why should I see what you′ve told me
Nothing gets worse, it stays the same
The same is killing, anyway
I wish I saw it all, so could you please let me escape
all these images for real from reality

Good or evil, right or wrong
Find yourself between the dying crowd, the blooded streets
How can′t this affect a mind
How can′t this affect a pure, young heart?

After Forever - Dreamflight

Welcome and wake up
This is not a dream
But something in-between that and reality
Wake up if you dare
This is not a regular nightmare

Before your eyes the world will change
Slowly takes you down to unknown places
Welcome to a world that′s only yours
Wake up if you dare and just follow me!

Leave me alone
My dreams speak to me or am I still awake?
Leave me alone
I′m my own threat, I′m a victim of my mind!
Let go!

I fooled you, I warned you though
I won′t let go before you′re dreamed all your dreams
I′ll play you, you want me to
You ask for more, you want to know

Leave me now, I need to know I′m in control
Leave me alone
Leave me be within my private fantasies
Let go!

I told you I won′t let go
I want to show you what dreams can do for you
They′ll free you, they′ll open doors, they show you all
You want to know

As some is light, and some is dark
Dreams can be both, they have two sides.
Fear, I am your fear deep inside

Fear, face all your fears deep in this dream
We are the dark side of your mind

Pain, I am your pain deep inside

Pain, feel all your pain deep in this dream
Feel it′s a part of you
You are like your dreams, both light as dark, come with us now and explore

Silence I′m here
No words, no songs, no pain or doubts
I′m floating, even time itself
Can never touch me, I am free.
Silence I′m here
No voices, no music
I′m roaming through this soundless place
Leave me here where I am free

Doubt, I am your doubt deep inside
I am all you try to hide
Hate, I am your hate deep inside
I am your mirror, your fright!

Energized by nightly views
You are the dream, the dream is you, aah...

So face it
You know, I′m right
You have no reason to resent me and fight
You are me and I am you
The other side of the sleepy truth

Leave me please how can I resist with you inside?
Leave me alone, I′m too tired for this crazy theories
Let go!

I′ll leave you but won′t let go
For I am part of all you′ll ever do
I′ll help you, I′ll open doors
And I′ll show you all
You need to know
For I′m your dream energizer

After Forever - The Evil That Men Do

Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with
The slaughter of innocence
But will pray for her.
I will call her name out loud.
I would bleed for her.
If only I could see her now.

Living on a razors edge.
Balancing on a ledge.
Living on a razors edge.

The evil that men do lives on and on...

Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me.
But I will pray for you.
And some day I may return.
I would die for you.
Beyond is where I learn.

After Forever - Beautiful Emptiness

You′re the worst of all
with all your accusationsand compunction
I can′t suffer this duress from someone
so depraved and selfish.
You embody all that i′ve been through
Without you I am sure I will be loved

My existence iconforms to your distress
Your ambition the cause of mine
A disruption. I′m nothing, even less.
Misfortunes never come singly, and I was there to stay.

You don′t allow me a single place,
nor any love into your lives.
An unperceived, annoying presence you′d rather ignore
But in my life you know you′ll leave a beautifull emptiness.

Where you used to be
Imporent screams
will turn into the love of silence
My liberation, then silence
will be perfect and pure.
It′s all in my dreams;
I′ll remove you
and all our mutual disgust.

In my dreams,
I solve the problem by removing it
My wish is to see you grovel
like you once forced me to!

There′s no other way, here′s my course of life
A path without the sickening trace of you
I need the beauty of a cleared, pure world
This eternal interruption of your rash life can save me!

You don′t allow me a single place,
nor any love into your lives.
An unperceived, annoying presence you′d rather ignore
But in my life you know you′ll leave a beautifull emptiness.

It′s sad to feel you don′t believe in love
It′s sad that you′re so cold.
and I′ll be the same if you keep on poisoning my life
Drowning in self sacrificing visions
When you′re gone, than we will all be released.

It′s sad; my life has been like hell so far
It′s sad that you′re the cause
And I′ll be cured in this beautifull, empty world
Floating, floating away with your perilous visions and hate
When you′re gone, silence will fill up the emptiness
When you′re gone, we all will be released

In my dreams I shall rinse my body and soul
My wish the accomplishment lies here before me in my hands

I will be released from your accusing eyes
and torrents of verbal abuse
You′ll know the causes are your own mistakes
while life flows out of you
and exempts me forever

After Forever - Evoke

So wild, so beautiful and pure
All elements divine
The essence of all life

So vast extensive and remote
Unbridled and erratic
Savage but glorious

It bursts
It′s energy is stirring
It calls
Its drawing power will enchant us with its might
Its massive spirit′s bright
Let it flow

It′s endless beauty will evoke
A timeless sequence we all share
We cannot break through, nor control
But to feel its true soul, dare to concede and to connect

Emerging waves and brightened skies
The sun that burns in your eyes
The winter that blows and pounds
It shines, it′s energy is whirling
It fights
Will not be interfered
With people who can′t feel
It′s all nature′s flow
Let it flow

It′s endless beauty will evoke
A timeless sequence we all share
We cannot break through, nor control
We should cherish it!

Oh energy
Oh evoke me

Let it flow!
Its endless beauty will evoke
A timeless sequence we all share
We cannot break through, nor control
It is not at our command, no!
