ENIGMA
Music by ANA | Lyrics by SHARAN | Arranged by KARMIA

Transparent dream of the hate you felt. Wrath.
Defines you only when your life begins and ends.

Awakening inside.
Through persistent distance and the vague line of life.
You're walking forward to the unknown destiny.
For the broken soul that desires to live.
In the end you can find no salvation.

The miracles you see only decieve your eyes.
Lost in a dark abyss that hungers for pain.
Lust and greed controlling the violated mind.
Becoming a shadow that takes pleasure from distraught.

Awakening inside.

Through persistent distance and the vague line of life.
You're walking forward to the unknown destiny.
For the broken soul that desires to live.
In the end you can find no salvation.

This is the true enigma of the grieving soul.
Destroying your own self in your hunger for pain.
For the broken soul that desires to die.
In the end you only find sorrow.





TOUCH
Music by KiBa | Lyrics by SHARAN | Arranged by KARMIA

Now I see.
Oh maybe.
everything I knew was a lie.

Darling.
Oh tell me.
That everything was honest and true.

Now I am confused and used.
And everything I believed in. Is now shattered to pieces.
By your touch so cold.

And I think this time I'm done.
Not going to listen your lies.
Now I clearly see.
That you're not meant for me.
(And I lost the thought of you)

Your lies made me see.
That you don't really need me.

I don't need your touch.

How I feel?
I don't know.
But my heart just won't stop beating.

Now I am lost without a way out.
My heart won't tell me where to go.

And I think this time I'm done.
Not going to listen your lies.
Now I clearly see.
That you're not meant for me.
(And I lost the thought of you)

Your lies made me see.
That you don't really need me.

I don't need your touch.

Your lies made me bleed.
And I don't want to see you.
Anymore.

It's so clear to see.
You're not meant for me.
And everything I didn't want to lose.
Is now far away from you.





SAYÔNARA
Music by KiBa | Lyrics by SHARAN | Translation by Yoshisuke Suga | Arranged by KARMIA

Boku wa hitori da. shiawase no kakeraga mitsukaranai.
Bokurawa mata barabarani natta.
Soshite nidoto kimini aukotowa naidarou.

Sayonara, mata sorewo kurikaeshiteiru.
Sayonara, Bokuniwa Taiyouga tsumetaku kanjiru, samishiiyo.

Kimiga hanareteyuku, Subetega iroaseteyuku, eien ni.
Soredemo Nanika kitaishiteshimau.
Bokuraga tsuiyashita jikanwa hagareochita barano hanabirawa marude bokuraga tsui.

Sayonara mata sorewo kurikaeshiteiru.
Sayonara, Bokuniwa Taiyouga tsumetaku kanjiru, samishiiyo.

Bokuniwa hikariga tsuyosugite maeni susumenaiyo. kitto itsukawa demo imano
bokuniha nanimo mienai.




ADDICTION
Music by ANA | Lyrics by SHARAN | Arranged by KARMIA

Oh hello the time has come.
Turn on the mystery sound.
Turn off your beating heart.
It is time to say goodbye.

Inject the needle deep in you.
Your head tells you to do so.
Your whole body is screaming for it.
Oh the bliss of psychosis.

Oh this is one dirty world.
Your state of mind is such a mess.
Feeling dizzy it's crazy!

You release yourself from the pain more and more.

The world keeps spinning round and round.
It feels too shallow to go on.
The lights are flashing to your mind.
Is this the truth of what the life keeps inside?

You don't have to be in control.
The dose you took takes care of that.
You just have to let it roll.
'Cause you're just a fucking addict.

Oh this is one dirty world.
Your state of mind is such a mess.
Feeling dizzy it's crazy!

You release yourself from the pain more and more.

The world keeps spinning round and round.
It feels too shallow to go on.
The lights are flashing to your mind.
Is this the truth of what the life keeps inside?

Oh you're just so fucked up.
Oh you're too far from the line.

Oh did you think that you can survive?
Oh did you think that it's okay to be a mess?

The world keeps spinning round and round.
It feels too shallow to go on.
The lights are flashing to your mind.
Is this the truth of what the life keeps inside?





CRYING
Music by ANA & SHARAN | Lyrics by SHARAN | Arranged by KARMIA

I walk through this town.
I try to keep my voice down.
I try to see through these tears.
They are like the rain that falls.

My sorrow reflects from the rain.
That's tearing apart every bit of me.
Happiness washed away by the rain.
Silent bell ringing for the end.

Silently I try to force a smile.
Rapidly beating heart makes it hard.

I find myself crying over and over again.
I am crying in the rain that washes my life away.
Crying 'cause I'm weak and everything I do.
Meets the same bitter end as always.
It kills me.

You are there when there's no-one around.
But when I need you the most you're not there.
I exist only when you are sad.
But my tears mean nothing to you.

I'm there by your side when you need me.
But when I close my eyes you are gone.

I find myself crying over and over again.
I am crying in the rain that washes my life away.
Crying 'cause I'm weak and everything I do.
Meets the same bitter end as always.
It kills me.

The second I close my eyes.
You are gone...

I find myself crying over and over again.
I am crying in the rain that washes my life away.
Crying 'cause I'm weak and everything I do.
Meets the same bitter end as always.
It kills me.
I find myself dying to feel your love and feel your touch.
I am dying in the rain that washes my soul away.
Falling 'cause you're gone and everything in life.
Means nothing in the end without you.
I'm gone.

ORIGIN
Music by SAN & ANA | Lyrics by SHARAN | Arranged by Karmia

I once tried to stay sane.
I just watched how the time went by.
Just like composing and decomposing.
Something that's not there.

(Seeing my light fading.
Truth that cannot be defined.
Escort me to my end.
Through the time itself.)

Finally asking this paradoxical question.
Can I really be alive while dying?

And I... Finally see.
Every moment of my life.
Everything...
From the beginning to the downfall.

Time is certain of it's existance.
But at the same time it cannot sense.
Just like I was a moment ago.
Like a doll left to the corner of the room.

Like a petal of a rose falls to the lake.
It's slight, dimming light still lingers in my mind.
As for the truth of what makes sense and what is completely mad.
I cannot give the answer myself.

And I... Finally see.
Every moment of my life.
Everything...
From the beginning to the downfall.

I feel my body getting heavier.
The sensation of falling.
Down to my knees

And I... Finally see.
Every moment of my life.
Everything...
From the beginning to the downfall.

Finally see....
Everything....

From my origin to my downfall.





PLEDGED
Music by ANA | Lyrics by SHARAN | Arranged by Karmia

If I could really breathe.
I'd pledge my whole self to you.
The way you always wanted.

Ofcourse it's impossible.
Even the knowledge is unhealthy.
Waking me from inside.
Truth carved into my mind.

If I could really talk.
I'd tell what's wrong in me.
The way that you'd understand.

Ofcourse I can't do it.
When my breathing is so shallow.
Breaking me from inside.
Nothing stays to satisfy.
My way of living.
My sense of everything.

If I could really see.
I wouldn't waste my senses to feel.
I'd just walk out of here to the light.

Gasping.
Out of breath.
I just can't find my way.

Over.
Everything I try.
Just crumbles and turns to sand.





DECADE
Music by SAN | Lyrics by SHARAN | Arranged by Karmia

In the silent way.
My heart beats the same.
Same rhythm as the clock.
I keep watching.

I watch the clock slowly ticking.
It's sound embraces me.
With painful solitude.
In a world that's created only for me
I keep staying.
And nothing changes.

Slowly in this silent way.
I throw everything away.
Everything that binds me to this world.
I wish I was dead.
Wishing... Just wishing...
That my life would fade away.

If I could go back in time
maybe I could change things.
So my life wouldn't be in vain.
I could keep on living.

I can't deny my feelings from myself.
I don't know what to do or think.
I just light up my cigarette and it keeps
burning in my hand.

In this silent way.
My heart beats the same.
Same rhythm as the clock.
I keep watching.

Slowly in this silent way.
I throw everything away.
Everything that binds me to this world.
I wish I was dead.
Wishing... Just wishing...
That my life would fade away.

Slowly I will fade away.
I just know that I can't stay.
All that remains is my body.
My soul goes on.
Wishing... Just wishing...
That I could start all over again.

In this silent way.
I will fade away.





FRAGILE FOR A REASON
Music by ANA | Lyrics by SHARAN | Arranged by Karmia

It feels so uneasy.
Nothing has changed since I left.
Trying to explain it doesn't work.
I can't be true to myself.

I just couldn't take it.
You were so obsessive.
And for that reason.
I was trought with you.

Breathing hard.
My life is meaningless.
With you by my side.
Obsessive.
Controlling.

I am fragile.....
For a reason that you know (when you ripped everything away from me)
So I'm gone...
Nothing feels so refreshing (I'm better of without you)

It feels so uneasy.
Because your claws still rip me.
I still feel suffocated.
I still feel so raped.

Breathing hard.
My life is meaningless.
With you by my side.
Obsessive.
Controlling.

I am fragile.....
For a reason that you know (when you ripped everything away from me)
So I'm gone...
Nothing feels so refreshing (I'm better of without you)

I am now what you made me into.
A paranoid lunatic searching for hide out.

Breathing hard.
My life is meaningless.
With you by my side.
Obsessive.
Controlling.

I am fragile.....
For a reason that you know (when you ripped everything away from me)
So I'm gone...
Nothing feels so refreshing (I'm better of without you)





IMPRISONED HEART
Music by SAN | Lyrics by SAN | Arranged by Karmia

I remember you, we've met before in a time I thought I left behind
But now I find you before me
Within myself

Oh, your touch burns my skin
Your words pierce right through my chest
Behind your eyes shines a light and it calls my name
I try to walk away but I am lost

Oh, your malicious smile has imprisoned my reasoning
And your scent intoxicates every cell within me

Scarlet sea drowning me
And the truth disappears
Waves wash away the world
Lie to me
And I will stay through the night

Smile and you know I will waste away
That's all it takes
Pain and pleasure tear apart my heart
When I'm with you

Oh, what have I become
Please release my heart

Scarlet sea drowning me
And the truth disappears
Waves wash away the world
Lie to me, please..

A mirror only shows what you want to see
So the malformed picture is in your head
Before the scene even hits your eyes
And is turned around inside your
Brain

My hands caress your skin
Your moan is a symphony

Scarlet sea drowning me
And the truth disappears
Waves wash away the world
Lie to me
This one last time

And I know that you won't be there when I get home.
In that room that I once held so close.
And the time when you whispered my name is now gone away.

Oh the blues of an imprisoned heart.




THE SHANGRI-LA MURDERS
Music by ANA | Lyrics by SHARAN | Arranged by Karmia

Welcome to the paradise.
Just sit down and wonder this life.
In here we don't need answers.
'cause we are one with this world.
we don't need to know your name.
'cause you'll be gone soon. what a shame.

We are the priests of this salvation.

We'll send you to the better place.
You don't need to worry.
This is how we disguise our murders
as a way to the shangri-la.

The bloody truth of walking towards the spiritual liberty.

We are the emperors of life.

Wake up it feels too easy we're used to the screams.

Welcome to the paradise.

Just live it. Just breathe it in this living hell of murders.
This answer, those bodies. We do them for human kind.
We killed them. Distroyed them. We'll let no-one survive.
We're psychos. We don't care. We'll give them salvation.

We'll wait until it's dark outside.
We'll get close to you and kill you.

We are your guides to the salvation.

Welcome to the paradise.

Just live it. Just breathe it in this living hell of murders.
This answer, those bodies. We do them for human kind.
We killed them. Destroyed them. We'll let no-one survive.
We're psychos. We don't care. We'll give them salvation.

We're priests of salvation. We'll give you Shangri-La
Flowing blood. Our dogma. We'll free you from this earth.

Welcome to the paradise.
Welcome to the Shangri-La.

Just live it. Just breathe it in this living hell of murders.
This answer, those bodies. We do them for human kind.
We killed them. Destroyed them. We'll let no-one survive.
We're psychos. We don't care. We'll give them salvation.

We're priests of salvation. We'll give you Shangri-La
Flowing blood. Our dogma. We'll free you from this earth.
Our mission. Our passion. We'll wait until it's dark outside.
Free your mind. This nightmare. We enjoy it to the very core.

We'll send you to the better place.
You don't need to worry.
This is how we disguise our murders
as a way to the shangri-la.





DECEPTION
Music by SAN | Lyrics by SAN | Arranged by Karmia

Today the world turns around as it does every day
The rising sun paints this town
Invading streets
Breaking the dream

Frustration runs in your veins
So paint your face with a smile
Devils are dancing in your head
Searching for the way out
Dress up your fears with pride
Suffocate your need to scream
Slowly your mind turns to something
Even you don't understand

Ambition beats in your heart and slowly turns to greed
Clouds above move closer, the sky is turning gray
The once upon a time keeps repeating once again
And the rain is here to wash away the dirt cheap destinies

I can see your mind
Lies echo through the air, oh, tell me, truth or dare?
I can see your heart
Lights are fading, now they are here

And they can smell your fear

Drown in desires, overwhelming gluttony
Made to order, made to consume.. What were we made to do?
The world keeps turning and I keep wondering

What on earth were we supposed to do?

Rain beats the ground as if the sky is crying, oh
But despite that, it's essential to life
If there's chance to hold your hand
Even in a place like this
Then I will sing until my throat is torn





ECSTASY ROAD
Music by ANA | Lyrics by SHARAN | Arranged by Karmia

Get up and take the high road.
Take two pills of pleasure.
Wake your mind from the slumber.
Just go with the flow of music.

It's easy. Just swallow.
With booze it goes down well.
That big shots dirty cock.
It's what you get paid for.

Swallow. swallow take it in. Your in for the win.
He doubled the payment. Enough for the rent.
Enough to buy a car. No questions so far.

Play the role of a dirty bitch.
Take him to a round of pleasure.

Feel the satisfaction.
The power that's raging inside.
Cover your tears and swallow the pain.
Just like you blow.

Take it! Take it! Take it in.

Welcome to the ecstasy road.
Baby you're getting high.
Welcome to the ecstasy road.
Baby you're so fucked.

Feel the pleasing feeling of someone breathing to your neck.
Feel the hands all over your body.
You know you want it.

Get up and pick up your shoes.
Take the money and leave fast.
Go find a brand new club again.
Find someone to hook up with.

Get the payment.
Pay your rent.
Again for the whole year.
This is the lifestyle you chose so there's no way out.

Feel the satisfaction.
The power that's raging inside.
Cover your tears and swallow the pain.
Just like you blow.

Take it! Take it! Take it in!

Welcome to the ecstasy road.
Baby you're getting high.
Welcome to the ecstasy road.
Welcome to your death.

Feel the pleasing feeling of someone breathing to your neck.
Feel the hands all over your body.
You know you want it.

Welcome to the ecstasy road.
Baby you're getting high.
Welcome to the ecstasy road.
Welcome to your hell.

Feel the pleasing feeling of someone breathing to your neck.
Feel the hands all over your body.
You know you want it.

Feel your lifestyle getting more dangerous by the minute.
Feel the hands on your throat.
Now you're gonna die.





THE CIRCUS
Music by ANA | Lyrics by SHARAN | Arranged by Karmia

I look outside trough this dark coloured window.
Waiting for someone to rip these wounds open.
I'm a mere ghost of my former self.

Now there's no-one of my friends left beside me.
Everyone were killed before my eyes.
We were murderers and villains without chains.
We were feared all over the world

Rip me from the inside out.
Give me reason to feel sane.
Take my memories away
and make my mind decay.
Kill me from the inside out.
Give me reason to feel dead.
Take my sanity away.
And let my existance decay
away.

We were at the wrong place.
At the wrong time.
We just wanted to have some fun.
And I was a fool and a clown without a crown
when I couldn't protect my friends.

Rip me from the inside out.
Give me reason to feel sane.
Take my memories away
and make my mind decay.

Kill me from the inside out.
Give me reason to feel dead.
Take my sanity away.
And let my existance decay
away.

Someone with a gun killed them all.
And I looked directly in to his eyes.
His eyes eyes were shining so bright.
They were red like the blood on the ground.

Rip me from the inside out.
Give me reason to feel sane.
Take my memories away
and make my mind decay.

Kill me from the inside out.
Give me reason to feel dead.
Take my sanity away.
And let my existance decay
away.
