Lyrics
- Unbroken silence
- In jewel of an island
- Chasing the light & found a big shadow
- Standing in the darkness
- Bear my loneliness
- Light and shadow stare me for eternity
- I'm dreaming over time clearly to understand a calling given
- by the everlasting
- I can't stop the urge to destroy
- It infects like a rising flames
- Brainwashed strange world in reality
- I can't take anymore
- Burning anger
- I wanna be stronger
- The other side of truth you need know
- Deep inside me This is my story
- Give me the power to receive everything
- I just can't get your face out of my head
- Perfect landscape with full of love... Neverlasting
- Massive explosion
- Cry of sorrow
- I can't stop the urge to destroy
- It infects like a rising flames
- Brainwashed strange world in reality
- I can't take anymore
- We lose track of the preciousness of our life like a shot
- Fall into the slough of ruin
- But I can change my future
