Lyrics:

Looking for clarity
Believing in falsity

FOR TOO LONG – For too long

Tear my heart from me
wrest away my brain
disburden me of everything
so I can live again

PLUNGED, DIVED, TORN INTO THE ABYSS
SEEMINGLY BETRAYED

Who deserves attention when egoism takes over
give away your gaze, everyone deserves it

DIVIDED IN YOUR OWN BODY, LOST CONTROL
LOST CONTROL

Tear my heart from me
wrest away my brain
disburden me of everything
so I can live again

SELF-DIRECTED, IMPOSSIBLE TO INHIBIT

Automatisms steering, blurring, blinding
all resolution reconsidered until revocation
overcome by feeling, whom to trust
when you're lying to yourself
when you're lying to yourself

What disunion when everything extorts your attention

LOST CONTROL

Tear my heart from me
wrest away my brain
disburden me of everything
so I can live again

Lacuna

Lifeless

THE WALKING DEAD //LYRICS:

Open up your hearts and minds and join us in this fight
Let's stand together and make it right, our dreams are in our sight
The future is ours, so let's take it back, let's make the world a better place
And together we'll make a brighter day

We keep on searching for a light
No place is safe for us to hide

Forgotten souls in the night
never give up, stand and fight

We won’t give up, we can not give in
We will rise up and our hope will never end

Open up your hearts and minds and join us in this fight
Let's stand together and make it right, our dreams are in our sight 
The future is ours, so let's take it back, let's make the world a better place
And together we'll make a brighter day


With our hearts beating strong and true, there is nothing that we can't do.
We will face the path ahead
We are the walking dead

Forgotten souls in the night
never give up, stand and fight

We won’t give up, we can not give in
We will rise up and our hope will never end

Open up your hearts and minds and join us in this fight
Let's stand together and make it right, our dreams are in our sight 
The future is ours, so let's take it back, let's make the world a better place
And together we'll make a brighter day

We are the walking dead

The Walking Dead

OVERCOME THE SETBACK  // LYRICS:

Anchors steadfast and tall
Have my movements caused me to fall?

Waves are crashing down on me
but I keep holding on
I will rise above the pain when waves are crashing down on me
but I keep holding on

With every crashing wave, I grow stronger
I learn to navigate through the storm
I won't let fear paralyze my spirit
Overcome the setback
I won't let them drown my spirit
Overcome the setback!

Anchors steadfast and tall
Have my movements caused me to fall?

Waves are crashing down on me
but I keep holding on
I will rise above the pain when waves are crashing down on me
but I keep holding on

I'll keep standing tall, unshakable and bold
Overcoming setbacks, I won't be dismayed.

My anchor once firm and tall
Have my movements caused me to fall?

Waves are crashing down on me
but I keep holding on
I will rise above the pain when waves are crashing down on me
but I keep holding on

Overcome the setback!

Overcome The Setback

KEEP FIGHTING // LYRICS:

I won't let you go, I won't let you in.
These demons deep inside, the war I’ll begin.
They start crawling up, right under my skin
But I'll keep on fighting until I win.

In the shadows of my mind, I'm lost and I'm confined,
A battle rages deep within, a struggle undefined.
Dark clouds they gather 'round, but I won't concede,
I'm holding on to hope, I won't let myself recede.

I won't let you go, I won't let you in.
These demons deep inside, the war I’ll begin.
They start crawling up, right under my skin.
But I'll keep on fighting until I win.

A symphony of doubts, they echo in my head,
But I'll defy their whispers, rise from where I tread.
The weight upon my shoulders, it tries to pull me down,
The fire in my heart still burns.

Through this storm I've walked alone and faced the darkest night.
I won't bow to the shadows, I'll emerge into the light.

Scream it out, let it go, 
The pain I won't conceal,
Shatter chains, break the mold,
Reclaim my shattered soul

I won't let you go, I won't let you in.
These demons deep inside, the war I’ll begin.
They start crawling up, right under my skin.
But I'll keep on fighting until I win.


No matter what life throws my way,I’ll keep on fighting keep pushing through the day.
No matter how many times I stumble and fall, I'll keep standing tall.

I won't let you go, I won't let you in.
These demons deep inside, the war I’ll begin.
They start crawling up, right under my skin.
But I'll keep on fighting until I win.

Keep Fighting

TORRENTIAL RAIN - HOME ALONE (ORIGINAL SONG) `

UNITE // LYRICS:

I‘m done with all that lies you told
Fuck this shit up
I’m done with all the pain I’ve known
I can’t take it anymore

Stand up, unite, against the fascist tide,
In the face of injustice, we won't step aside

No more silence, no more fear,
In the face of injustice, our voices clear.

Stand up, unite, against the fascist tide.
Stand up, unite, against the fascist tide.

Unite

FINDING PEACE // LYRICS:

Can you feel my fucking heart?
I know, nothing ever stays the same
I know, these fading friendships are just memories
We′re drifting apart, can't seem to find
The pieces of us we left behind
We were young, we were bold
But time moves on, stories unfold
Caught in the currents of life′s cruel game
Our bond weakened, never the same
Struggling to hold on, but slipping away
Familiar faces in the fray
Can you feel my fucking heart?
I know, nothing ever stays the same
I know, these fading friendships are just memories
We're drifting apart, can't seem to find
The pieces of us we left behind
Silent words, unspoken truths
The distance between, uncovers the bruise
We tried to mend, but the cracks grew wide
Time to say goodbye
Through the silence, we′ll find our way
Accepting the night, embracing the day
As we search for what′s been lost
As we search for what's been lost
Counting the bridges that we have crossed
We held on tight, but lost our grip
We fought against the tide, but the waves crashed in
Sometimes it′s better to let the future win
We remember the moments we will never forget
It is time to reset
Different paths, different dreams so it seems
The bond we shared, once strong and true
Shattered pieces, lost in the blue
In the silence, we find release
Letting go, finding peace
Can you feel my fucking heart?
I know, nothing ever stays the same
I know, these fading friendships are just memories
We're drifting apart, can′t seem to find
The pieces of us we left behind
So here we stand, at the end of the road
Our friendship faded, our hearts cold
But in the silence, we'll find release
Sometimes it′s better to let it cease

Finding Peace

THEY PREACH, WE BURN // LYRICS 

Brick by brick 
We break their walls 
Brick by brick
We watch them fall 
Brick by brick

We’ve been choking on the lies they spread,
Call it "freedom," but paint it red.
They build their fences and draw their lines, 
But we rise. 

No retreat, no step back, 
Tear their borders, counteract. 
Through the fire, through the pain, 
We won’t fall, won’t die in vain.

No matter what they do, 
We find strength in what is broken
This is war, this is fate, 
We are the storm they can’t escape. 
They preach, we burn. 

Sell us fear, we won't return, 
Break the seal,
They preach, we burn. 

Brick by brick 
We break their walls 
Brick by brick 
Watch them fall 

And when it comes to the poor
There's only endless suffering 
You fight or die they'll come to bleed you dry 
They preach, we burn 

No matter what they do, 
We find strength in what is broken
This is war, this is fate, 
We are the storm they can’t escape. 
They preach, we burn. 

No retreat, no step back, 
Tear their borders, counteract. 
Through the fire, through the pain, 
We won’t fall, won’t die in vain.

No matter what they do, 
We find strength in what is broken

They preach, we burn.

No matter what they do, we find strength in what is broken 
No matter what they do, we find strength in what is broken

They Preach, We Burn
