Frustration in mind, a sickness inside, this river of anger flows in my blood. Someone has taken my lifetime away, I can’t believe in this time you’re gone. While I see you laying on the ground, my tears fall down as a burning rain. It’s the cry of a man who has lost his guide. Father, tonight you had not to die. Shadows are covering the end of a day, telling me I am in loneliness. Terrible images, stuck in my head, tell me I’m falling in darkness. Surrounding silence in my soul, sea of pain in my heart. My guardian angel has taken his end breath, I feel so chained into this cage. While I see you laying on the ground, my tears fall down as a burning rain. It’s the cry of a man who has lost his guide. Father, tonight you had not to die. Prayers are gone, on wings of this tragedy, my life is fading away. Hear me! Lord of all times, keep my devotion, my faith I’ve lost in this night. Emptiness is killing me, reigns supreme in my head. Make me hear your voice divine, oh great Lord of Paradise! Forgive me ‘cause I won’t understand it, forgive me, but I’ve lost all my hope. Thunders and dark winds are screaming his name, here they’re united to console me. I am the warrior who has lost his challenge. I have no reason to fight again. Prayers are gone, on wings of this tragedy, my life is fading away. Hear me! Lord of all times, keep my devotion, my faith I’ve lost in this night.

Tears have fallen on your ghost, across the dark I’m vanishing, living all these days of pain and sorrow. I’m not strong enough to separate reality from dreams, my awaking nightmares are becoming true. Alcohol and pain - fading lightless. Drugs and decay - fading senseless. Lost in the vice - I’m not alive. To forget this time and abandon life. I fade through this void of a cursed fate. Desperation brings me to perdition of my own, Everyone of thousand glasses, filled up with bitter tears, each one for every prayer I had said in all those nights. Left alone by someone, in cruel hands of fate. Weakness of my mind constricts me to deny what’s right and what is real. Father I miss you, I don’t want to know this truth. I’m alone, I wanna be forgotten anymore, with my loneliness and sadness killing me again. Within me - seas of terror. Blood storms - running through my veins. Mindless brain - hide and delete. Suffocation - reason’s gone away. Fading through the night, I’m not more alive. Desperation brings me to perdition of my own, Everyone of thousand glasses, filled up with bitter tears, each one for every prayer I had said in all those nights. Left alone by someone, in cruel hands of fate. In cruel hands of fate. When dreams and reality, unite in a nightmare. Deadly spread on a cold floor, without strengths and with frozen eyes, fire river in my throat, free my soul from this burden. Desperation brings me to perdition of my own, Everyone of thousand glasses, filled up with bitter tears, each one for every prayer I had said in all those nights. Left alone by someone, in cruel hands of fate.

Already fallen into this trance, suffocated in breath of disgrace. I see my life fading into a moment, eternal embrace of death. Something begins to destroy my soul, something not real but so fucking near. A whisper in silence, the slaughter of thoughts, evil or good? Heaven or Hell? Sudden fear calls me, acid tears falls down. Fear for the loneliness I feel in me, a demon inside that I cannot defeat. Voices from the dark tells me this melody, of decay and despair. Crushing down all what I am. Father can you hear me? I am close to you. This sorrow’s killing me, unable to shut up this symphony. Stuck on the floor, bottles of glass, broken and slid by my hands. A place to live losing his meaning, these walls I lived will become my grave. The whisper returns, echoes in me, maybe a weak light is still living. Mighty as wind, sweet as the night, the voice of my father has entered my mind. “My son you’ve not to die! Remember my teach, for that I’ve not lived in vain, Keep strength, lead your own way, a new life you must create!” Voices from the dark tells me this melody, of decay and despair. Crushing down all what I am. Father can you hear me? I am close to you. This sorrow’s killing me, unable to shut up this symphony. Voices from the dark tells me this melody. A new day has begun, guided from my memories. All my hopes are rising through these holy notes, Father hear my cry, your spirit fills my heart forevermore.

Determined to try, to trust in this voice, my face is reflection of sorrow. Stood up from floor, weak but alive, I see all my memories, return of past time. Searching the answers of death through my face, martyred and ruined by this anguish and void. Me and myself facing under the moonlight, divided by cold wall of this looking-glass. I see what I am. My life caught in image. And behind, the shapes of my parents, ghosts in my eyes, spirit of mine. My face reflects all the sins I made, sense of escape from reality. He wants to tell me what is my way, someone gave opportunities. Led by this destiny I don’t desire, cruel fate inevitable I can’t deny. You, be my guide. So my hands are drifting and touching the icy glass. All that it shows is so wrong, dark and frozen. The shape in my eyes, my reason of life. Blood of my blood, I’ll bravely survive. Prison made of weakness and vice, there I’ll go, out of your chains. Ready for starting again, with your whispers and courage in my heart. My face reflects all the sins I made, sense of escape from reality. He wants to tell me what is my way, someone gave opportunities. Led by this destiny I don’t desire, cruel fate inevitable I can’t deny. You, be my guide. My face reflects all the sins I made, sense of escape from reality. He wants to tell me what is my way, someone gave opportunities. Led by this destiny I don’t desire, cruel fate inevitable I can’t deny. You, be my guide.

Waken from this hellish agony’s state, this paternal flame keeps alive in my heart. I can’t believe this couldn’t have any meaning, He sent me a message, a whisper of angel. Now, sitting by the first light of the dawn, forsaken to the stream of my thoughts. Breathing new air, full of heavenly hope, I will live my time. The only reason for what I’m in fight is that I’ve understood that you are still alive. Please, take my hand and save me from the darkness, repair this hurt, lead me to light. Now, the haze of sorrow starts to disappear, the new day’s light is new beginning. I feel your heat, pain escapes. I am ready to turn this page. Tears fallen down will become all my fortress, end is beginning, as death is new life. Roaming across land of sorrow and pain, I am rising out from my grave. Here now I stand at the dawn of a new day, destined to fight all alone in this world. High there’s a place near to you in the sky. I’m guided by this law divine. Still I don’t realize why this tragedy happened, but I want to trust in your whispered words. That shape in the mirror was so far but real, I’m not in madness, you’re really here with me. Closing my eyes to what’s my past, the rays of dawn are filling my soul. A fire is rising in my heart, a reason to live again. Tears fallen down will become all my fortress, end is beginning, as death is new life. Roaming across land of sorrow and pain, I am rising out from my grave. Here now I stand at the dawn of a new day, destined to fight all alone in this world. High there’s a place near to you in the sky. I’m guided by this law divine. Tears fallen down will become all my fortress, end is beginning, as death is new life. Roaming across land of sorrow and pain, I am rising out from my grave. Here now I stand at the dawn of a new day, destined to fight all alone in this world. High there’s a place near to you in the sky. I’m guided by this law divine.

Paving in this place of sorrow, the darkness starts to disappear, new hope’s rising in my broken heart. I could have seen my fall, I could stand waiting in the shades for the moment I will hear my call. But I’m here again, your death was not in vein. Blinded were my eyes, in front of loneliness. And now I feel your spirit lives in me. Show me where I have to go. This shining flame, heat and fire burning deep into my heart. I’m healing from this desperation digging in my soul. And I know, not a dream, all the signs you’ve given me, what d’you want to tell me now. Light of dawn illuminates me, I watch your face throughout the sky. Candid gates of Paradise are opened. So you’re walking through the garden, where the peace eternal is. I listen to your voice once again. Words projected, in the frozen screams of wind. “Live for me my son, fight to win the war of life, I’ll be here, forevermore inside your soul. Keep the faith and carry on! My spirit never dies!” This shining flame, heat and fire burning deep into my heart. I’m healing from this desperation digging in my soul. And I know, not a dream, all the signs you’ve given me, what d’you want to tell me now. Breath of life, growing in my heart and soul. Raise my hope, we’ll meet again, endlessly in the grace of Heaven. This shining flame, heat and fire burning deep into my heart. I’m healing from this desperation digging in my soul. And I know, not a dream, all the signs you’ve given me, what d’you want to tell me now. This shining flame, only one reason to survive, I cried for you. My shining flame, I was forgetting worth of life. Thank you for all. For all. I cried for you, I live for you, my shining flame.

Outside 04:53
All what I see that’s surrounding my eyes, all speaks about you to me. I’m not alone, feeling strength and sustain, the darkness’ gone away. I cannot hide you’ve a message for me, the whole meaning of my own life. There is no name to describe what I feel, but I’ll fight again! I can’t forget what happened that night, the cold rain was falling timeless on me. The sound of brakes on street, as the soundtrack of the end. This farewell won’t break our embrace. Here I’m outside this nightmare, the shadows disappeared. The cage of death has opened iron doors. Those memories were buried into deep of my mind. Angel of Heaven, tell me what’s my final goal. But I can’t find faith again, he took a piece of my life. Only time will say if I’m with you, oh Lord. Why do you make this test for me, I have to show nothing. I can’t feel your hand anymore. In this night, the stars draw your face. By then your eyes give power to me. If only wind can say all these words, you’ld spread wings and to me fly. Here I’m outside this nightmare, the shadows disappeared. The cage of death has opened iron doors. Those memories were buried into deep of my mind. Angel of Heaven, tell me what’s my final goal. Here I’m outside this nightmare, the shadows disappeared. The cage of death has opened iron doors. Those memories were buried into deep of my mind. Angel of Heaven, tell me what’s my final goal.

The Message 18:10
I) TRUTH IS REVEALED Into a dream I felt once again, the shape of my father’s appearing so clear. “I’m here to give a message for you, you’ll know what’s the meaning of life. I’m the messenger angel of God, He sent me through your mind to tell you the truth. Mediator I am, between you and your guide, your leader, holy judge of souls.” What is my destiny? Why did He has chosen you? You was the strength making me proud to live. Darkness had turned off my flame. “We can’t know our fate, my son. Death gave me this task. Fight, deny the hold of death, go on for me.” God sent these words from the sky, signs and ancient memories. Message of salvation, rising so clear inside. Shapes in glass, voice in a dream, light of dawn, screams of the wind. This word has been told me…the truth’s revealed. “Trust in this voice even if you can’t see me, I am your guardian angel from Heaven. One thousand questions, one thousand answers, but only within you there’s the holy truth.” “Live for those memories, I will reside in your soul. Forever my spirit your best friend will be.” The voice disappears. I realized the meaning, end of tears and sorrow, what I heard so close to me, the voice of God. God sent these words from the sky, signs and ancient memories. Message of salvation, rising so clear inside. Shapes in glass, voice in a dream, light of dawn, screams of the wind. This word has been told me…the truth’s revealed. II) THE VOICE - REDEMPTION Shining peaceful landscapes in my dream, light of Eden, in my sleeping mind. The words you said to me made change myself, I have realized what d’you want to tell me. Message from the other side, the real meaning of my life. Free I am from web of pain and tears. Message from above, holy words caught inside my soul, rescue me from weakness of my heart. I found what I need in your eyes, your voice is guiding me through time, so please forgive me for my sin. In this redemption finally, your light again on me I feel. I have regained all my lost faith. III) BENEATH THIS RAIN This rain falling on my head, face to face here with your grave, end and new beginning, starting to combat again. Cold rain as I felt that night, sign another from the sky. Feeling what you tell me, courage you’ve given to me, strength to survive to this pain. Beneath this cold holy rain, I have raised my faith. IV) THE ETERNAL EMBRACE Here I am, with my hand on your grave. Raindrops are washing my tears. May I seem so mad, but in this time I heard what people doesn’t want to hear. Led through my heart, through my soul and my pride, led by the voice of my Lord. Mankind’s afraid to believe in someone, there above, in the eyes of the world. Facing the death, feeling signs from the sky, here’s my eternal embrace. Redemption inside, meaning of my whole life, takes me afar, so close to you. Everywhere I look I see the power of your smile and every time I close my eyes feeling your hand closin’ in mine. I want you again alive but I know that you’re here near my heart. As you were in my life ‘till death has taken you away, I am walking and surviving through the faith that you me gave. Entering the valley where light is forevermore united we will stand. Farewell to my father, we will meet again. Beyond gates of Heaven, we will rise together.

“Many, many years have passed, I lived my time in his name. I’ve never forgotten his voice. I have fought as a warrior, with his guide from the sky, with his hand raising me up from the dust of my falls. Now my time has come. This moment I’ve awaited for a long time, from that tragic rainy night, with this pain in my heart. And so finally, the circle of life has been closed, under divine eyes of God. Yes, now I am ready. Ready to open these celestial gates in front of me. Here I am, father. Here I am.”
