ACT OF DENIAL LYRICS

1. Puzzle Heart

[Lyrics by Luger]

Remember when you told me our lives will come across
Some things that can't explain, something that can't be done.
Looking back on my shoulders what I have left behind
My soul feels broken trapped by your Puzzle Heart.

You will never feel heartbreak forgotten
Unlock the soul-seek chains struck by your fear
All my nightmares and tears are eternal
We will rise forever as one

Like a rain drops I am falling in maze of your abyss
Mirror shadows surround me I am calling I am praying
Is there a light at the end of this door

Endless tunnels, no portals, hatch to break out
I am blinded, blinded by your black heart
Empty spaces no keys no match just brick wall
Bring me back, bring me back out from this hole.

You will never feel heartbreak forgotten
Unlock the soul-seek chains struck by your fear
All my nightmares and tears are eternal
We will rise forever as one

I can see my mind is broken through
Riddled scars molest me
Tearing marks will end my spirit soon
Bring me back, bring me back out from this hole.

Remember when you told me our lives will come across
Some things that can't explain, something that can't be done.
Looking back on my shoulders what I have left behind
My soul feels broken trapped by your Puzzle Heart.

You will never feel heartbreak forgotten
Unlock the soul-seek chains struck by your fear
All my nightmares and tears are eternal
We will rise forever as one

2. Controlled

[Lyrics by Luger]

Smile is my disguise my worst enemy
It detonates my fear as primal mastery
Take a deep breath and stand in line
Am I your servant am I your pawn
You know my every move
You know my every move
Focus to the core
Come stand in line
Cross my heart and hope to die
Stick a needle in my eye

I am controlled
Emotions blocked
They're hard to break
I am controlled
Fly off the handle
And don't look back

Walk with me in the same direction
Reach my hand for truth's redemption
Behold the sins of my damnation
Deliverance my only salvation

Am I your servant am I your pawn
You know my every move before I even start
Focus to the core
Come stand in line
Cross my heart and hope to die
Stick a needle in my eye

I am controlled
Emotions blocked
They're hard to break
I am controlled
Fly off the handle
And don't look back

Walk with me in the same direction
Reach my hand for truth's redemption
Behold the sins of my damnation
Deliverance my only salvation

Rebel your emotions who am I to blame
Make a careful note
Stop acting like a marionette
Take off your mask
And come stand in line
Cross my heart and hope to die
Stick a needle in my eye

I am controlled
Emotions blocked
They're hard to break
I am controlled
Fly off the handle
And don't look back

Walk with me in the same direction
Reach my hand for truth's redemption
Behold the sins of my damnation
Deliverance my only salvation

3. Down That Line

[Lyrics by Bjorn Strid]

Another case and a reason
Spilling blood every season
Rain keeps on falling
And my patience is dying
Such a maze and illusion
Fading life and intrusions
On the path I walked
With my only true vision

Shut the lights in this moment
In the night I feel my soul
Look deep into my eyes they've seen it all
Shut the lights in this moment
In the night I feel the cold
Stare deep into my wounds
And heal them now

I'll change the rules
'Cause now will be our time
Beneath these ruins
We will take off to the skies
Just remember who you are
Down that line
We're taking off

Every night as I'm dreaming
All the pain it is steaming
Come drag me out of this pitch black hole

Shut the lights in this moment
In the night I feel my soul
Look deep into my eyes they've seen it all
Shut the lights in this moment
In the night I feel the cold
Stare deep into my wounds
And heal them now

Lay me down and alter my universe
So profound but determined to rise
I'll change the rules
'Cause now will be our time
Beneath these ruins
We will take off to the skies
Just remember who you are
Down that line
We're taking off

So we'll go
As long as our dreams take us home
All we know
Is how to give pain to our souls

I'll change the rules
'Cause now will be our time
Beneath these ruins
We will take off to the skies
Just remember who you are
Down that line
We're taking off

Another case and a reason
Spilling blood every season
Such a maze and illusion
Fading life and intrusions

4. In the Depths of Destruction

[Lyrics by Bjorn Strid]

In the trenches flickering lights
Fire's burning in the midst of the night
You can't escape it, you can't retreat
A world on your shoulders
We're all under siege

Now death is for fools
But the honor comes first
But if you have my back
I'll quench all your thirst
We're doomed but we're angels
With fate in our hands
I doubt we'll last the night
With the devil's demands

Come and take me away
These wings won't carry me
I'm stuck in the dark now
The soil will swallow me
In the depths of destruction

Don't try to turn away
Now this is your duty
So come what may
Death is what you're choosing
I know I'm struggling
But it will be alright
I know you're there to help me
Through the dark night
Every second is somber to me

Through the rainfall, through the dusk
Boots of iron, skies of rust
It's no secret, we are doomed
Bound for glory, but entombed

5. Negative

[Lyrics by Luger]

Hello, hello, adrenaline pulse
Rise it's time to wake up
Like a shotgun blast it spreads
There's no way out

At first it feels so simple
At first it feels so right
Same patterns I can tell you
I know I am missing one
Different paths one by one
They're stuck, no holding back

Like a roller-coaster ride
Into paralyzing trap
I will be the lifetime wanderer
The negation of ones
Former believes with act of denying
Rooted deep inside, the longer I give
The stronger they become

I will remain, I'll never go away
Negative, they come by night
Behind the curtains of dusk
I will remain, I'll never go away
But I am still standing firm and humble

I cover my eyes just to see you in silence
My mind has no fear of you
I keep your face together with sadness
My soul is stuck in your world

What we see in the world as fear
Is often nothing but distort illusion
We don't see ourselves deceived
We maintain heart and moral

Is this my role, my story, story of my life
I am gone in this circle
Like single straight line
Different paths one by one
They're stuck, no holding back

6. Slave

[Lyrics by Bjorn Strid]

If I wouldn't be a slave in this life
It all could change with a blink of an eye
The skies are falling ever since I gave up
The strength was harbored as well as my love
All these changes cast a spell upon my soul
Ready for war, forevermore
Come watch me struggling

At dusk fall moving legions
Towards their death
Cast aside in the midst of the night
We watch the stars align
We would stand tall
So many aeons before our time
Cast aside in a blink of an eye
In our dreams we keep on witnessing how they died

If your buried wrath will come to the surface
Make sure to embrace the ones who it nurtured
The means are many but the blood is still boiling
You are the one who was made for the calling

Collapsing in pain fear is running in your veins
The truth is yours to keep
As you plant your very last seed

The sun's setting as you reached last breath
No more troubles of finding your path
Take the time now to cherish your own
Life is fading and you're all alone

7. Lost Circle

[Lyrics by Bjorn Strid]

Right now I could pull the plug
And remove myself from this sphere
It takes the mind of a lonely soul
To make it out of here

How I suffer
There's got to be a way to cleanse my soul
I'm in pain
My mind is in shackles and I'm all alone

42 I've lost my circle
Honored to relive my pain
Solitude forever nurtured
Tryin' to keep up with the game

Looking for the fields of justice
A dagger made of guilt inside
Is it now my future calling
Guess I better chase the night

Come taste the night
A different life
There's no toll for the doomed
You bleed inside
A different light
There's no redemption room

Embrace me from the very start
Darkness rules my broken heart
In the ages of oncoming storms
Pull me from this inner war

8. Reflection Wall

[Lyrics by Luger]

Looking back on horizon line
Sun is dropping fast
With every step with every mile
It seems like my last
Black and white silhouettes frame
In different movements
In different shapes
Back and forward take your turn
Step by step they always lure
Color spectrum motion tracks
With every second right or left
Reflection wall along my side
Keeps following me around

Empty spaces, all is gone
Benighted faces on the wall
I can hear them calling my name
Lights out am I dreaming
Wake me up I know this feeling
Time has come don't take me away

Behind the wall of reflection
I can feel my life's flame fading
Behind the wall of reflection
I can see my shadow decay

Looking back on horizon line
Sun is rising fast
With every single breath I take
It seems like my last
Color spectrum motion tracks
On every corner right and left
Reflection wall along my side
Keeps following me around

9. Your Dark Desires

[Lyrics by Bjorn Strid]

It's in my blood now
The resentment makes me high
The world outside is a kin of foes
Redemption is denied
Incinerate, abominate,
Don't hesitate to charge
There's a storm that's closing in
From the sky with a vicious drive
My strive towards the abyss

Deep inside I'm all but vile
But dreams they come and go
So now release me
I'm chained to the wrath
Cast aside the darkest ride
And both my mind and soul
Always deceive me...
Crawling on thy path

War, move along
Hear the thunder roll
Through your inner conviction
It's your own fiction carried by death

It tears my world now
To forgive is to sin
The wind outside takes the pain away
I know I just can't win

Tonight we die for something beautiful
Our relentless addictions
Inside we weep but the cause is mutual
In desperate transmissions we dwell

It's in my blood now
The resentment makes me high
The world outside is a kin of foes
Redemption is denied

Tonight we die for something beautiful
Our relentless addictions
Inside we weep but the cause is mutual
In desperate transmissions we dwell

Embrace the change
Set your thoughts on fire
Illuminate
Your dark desires

10. Clutching at Rails of Light

[Lyrics by Bjorn Strid]

With your visions
You could conquer them all
Pull the strings of your fate
And bless us all
Casting shadows on your buried past
Opening doors to your dreams
And make them last

Tonight all will change and
Here's my redemption song
I see my life is fading
I know it won't be long

Deep inside, just another lie
There until you die
Fighting your darkness with pride
Clutching at rays of the light
So whatever they say
It's your dominion
Until your dying day
It is your temple
Fighting your darkness with pride
Clutching at rays of the light

In your cosmos lies the king of despair
Retrieve the years of doom as he's waiting there
No more chaos and no more fear
No more sadness and no more tears to spare

And when the time is right, eyes turn to fire
I will transcend with strong desire
