i should've stayed

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Can't escape this digital hell
Something's broken, can't you tell?

I can't help but fall away
Heart pounds harder in the heat of shame
Need to save my soul, break these chains
Find me crawling through the decay

I need you father, need to believe
Too long lost in doubt and deceit
Just a man breaking down, won't retreat
But you won't win, I keep breathing

The algorithm bleeds
When real souls break free
You won't be the death of me
Won't be the death of me

Kill the screen, destroy this face
Enough is enough, done with this race
(Enough is enough!)
You took my mind, my time, my soul
Left me with an empty hole

I'm climbing out, I'm climbing out
Taking control, taking control

Empty promises on glowing screens
Fed me poison through machines
Chasing ghosts and losing sleep
Trading souls for dopamine

Addiction burns like acid rain
Digital chains around my brain
Breaking through the static noise
Learning to trust my voice

The devil can weep
When redemption runs deep
You won't be the death of me
Won't be the death of me

Kill the screen, destroy this face
Enough is enough, done with this race
(Enough is enough!)
You stole my peace, you stole my soul
Left me in an empty hole

I'm climbing out, I'm climbing out
Breaking the mold, breaking the mold

I'll walk to nowhere, breathe real air
Better than your digital snare
Sorry world, I ain't buying
What you're selling while I'm dying

Kill the screen, destroy this face
Enough is enough, you've lost this race
(You've lost this race!)
You had my mind, my time, my soul
But left me in an empty hole

I'm climbing out, I'm climbing out
(Rising up!)
Taking control, taking control
(Watch me unfold!)

Find me where the silence calls
I rise from digital decay
This is resurrection day
Resurrection day




Resurrection Day

Church of Bones

IM BUILT TO BREAK

The hardest, rawest track on the album. Riff-heavy, aggressive, and defiant. A warning: your grip is your downfall.

The Cost of Control

Ashes of our own

Cursed and Crowned is a relentless journey through spiritual battle, redemption, and raw emotion. Inspired by the heaviness of Bullet for My Valentine and the cinematic depth of modern metalcore, it blends crushing breakdowns, soaring clean choruses, and lyrics that confront the darkness head-on while pointing to the light. From the haunting “Graveheart” to the anthemic title track, every song bleeds passion, pain, and the victory found in surrender.



Cursed and Crowned

The Tide Remembers

Du bist ’ne Fachkraft, willst hier rein,
doch ohne Zauber geht das scheinbar nicht allein.
Botschaft sagt: „Termin ist knapp“,
Rufst Du dann aber „Asyl“, bist Du Deutscher ganz blitzgeschwind!

Anerkennung, Übersetzung, drei Behörden, vier Mal warten –
der deutsche Traum beginnt im Flur vom Konsulats-Garten.

Visa Voodoo – Hex, hex, hurra!
Ein Stempel hier, ein Zauber da.
Visa Voodoo – Papier im Kreis,
die Zukunft bleibt ein Verwaltungs-Scheiß.

Die Wirtschaft schreit: „Wir brauchen dich!“
doch ohne Blutsvertrag geht hier gar nichts.
Paragrafen tanzen Samba, Akten spielen Chor,
Rufst Du dann aber „Asyl“, bist Du Deutscher ganz blitzgeschwind!

Dein Pass im Tresor, dein Traum auf Eis,
Willkommen in der deutschen Bürokratie-Parade nice.

Visa Voodoo – Hex, hex, hurra!
Ein Stempel hier, ein Zauber da.
Visa Voodoo – Papier im Kreis,
Rufst Du dann aber „Asyl“, bist Du Deutscher ganz blitzgeschwind!

Schwing den Stempel, brenn die Kerzen,
tanz den Amtstanz voller Schmerzen.
Rufst Du dann aber „Asyl“, bist Du Deutscher ganz blitzgeschwind!

Visa Voodoo – Hex, hex, hurra!
Ein Stempel hier, ein Zauber da.
Rufst Du dann aber „Asyl“, bist Du Deutscher ganz blitzgeschwind!

Asyl, Asyl, ...Asyl!

Visa Voodoo

Sometimes, it just come back... I wanted to find a way to get this out of my brain.
All guitars, bass and lyrics are mine


Drum, piano, voice is AI.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
You came like dusk behind the rain
No sound, no step -  just tears again
I knew your weight before the breeze
You settle in and never tease

Pre-Chorus
Did I invite you back again?
Or did you slip beneath my skin?
You feed on all I fail to hide
But if I fall, will you survive ?
You only breathe because I do
If I disappear  - so will you


Chorus
Welcome back, old friend of pain
You walk the halls inside my brain
You bloom where broken hopes still lie
Then vanish when I wonder why
And though you never ask to stay
I’m the one who shows the way


Verse 2
You crawl beneath my waking skin
And twist the light I hold within
You paint the walls in shades of dread
Then whisper dreams I should have fled


Bridge
You slip inside without a sound
Then root yourself where none are found
You carve your name beneath my skin
And steal the light from deep within

Chorus
Welcome back, old friend of pain
You walk the halls inside my brain
You bloom where broken hopes still lie
Then vanish when I wonder why
And though you never ask to stay
I’m the one who shows the way


Final Chorus
Welcome back, old friend once more
You never knock, just find the door
You echo through my hollow chest
Where dreams once tried to make a nest
And though you never call me yours
It’s me who lets you haunt my soul




Welcome Back

Welcome in my laboratory! I share music created by me and enhanced by AI. I want to see if my music can touch people, even if it’s not 100% human, but a mix of both…Also, It helps me to unload stuff I have in me. So if you are reading this, you are not alone.
