Chaos & Creation

I am trying hard to find my path away from here Time will never stop, I'm going to get me a life Distant lands far away, where my destiny awaits Through the skies I'll fly and travel thousands of miles There's no turning back, no time to waste, I'm on my way Distant lands far away, where my destiny awaits Towards the Rising Sun, I'll find my new home Towards the Rising Sun, I'll be reborn and Change my life Where the sun shines I'll face all my fears and charge ahead to wipe them out There's no worth in life if you don't dare to break your walls Distant lands far away, where my destiny awaits Towards the Rising Sun, I'll find my new home Towards the Rising Sun, I'll be reborn and Change my life Where the sun shines

Awake at night I'm counting the hours My restless eyes Can't find any rest Alone I hide I crawl in the dark A portal appears That draws me in It pulls me inside Into the unknown I cannot sleep I cannot escape Waiting for the dawn Waiting for the dawn In the next life I'm in the void Inside a dream Alive or dead I cannot tell The limbo I'm in An endless pit I want to awake To end this pain It's not a joke I want to leave This craziness This wretched plane Waiting for the dawn Waiting for the dawn In the next life

You've hurt my heart You've lost my trust I'm looking for ways to cope with this pain You've gone insane You've lost your mind I'm wishing to end all this torture soon But you don't know I am no fool Don't dare to cross the line, I've had enough I won't let you Do this to me I will bring you down to your knees Vengeful desires you have brought to my soul Vengeful desires you have lost all control You're no longer close or related to me Now you can't hide I'll chase you to death Vengeful desires you have brought to my soul Vengeful desires you have lost all control You're no longer close or related to me Now you can't hide I'll chase you to death You've gone too far You've lost your way I'm trying to shut down my brain and rest You've caused all this It's up to you If you don't change your ways you'll feel my wrath You just don't know What I can do Don't dare to cross the line, I'm warning you I'll bring you down No matter what I'll put you to rest if you don't stop this Vengeful desires you have brought to my soul Vengeful desires you have lost all control You're no longer close or related to me Now you can't hide I'll chase you to death Vengeful desires you have brought to my soul Vengeful desires you have lost all control You're no longer close or related to me Now you can't hide I'll chase you to death You're dead to me You're dead to me Now you are gone I warned you Why you had to be such a piece of shit You had no heart You had no soul It was either me or you going to hell You made me act You fucked with me You crossed the line and you left me no choice I put an end To your madness If you had some brains you would be alive Vengeful desires you have brought to my soul Vengeful desires you have lost all control You're no longer close or related to me Now you can't hide I'll chase you to death Vengeful desires you have brought to my soul Vengeful desires you have lost all control You're no longer close or related to me Now you can't hide I'll chase you to death I'll chase you to death

Wake Up! 04:34
Deep into this hole I'm going down I'm losing you Falling through the dark I cannot see I cannot breathe Now I feel as I were in a dream Such peace and quiet feels good Is this how death feels like? A total sense of bliss Wake up it's not time to die yet Just try to get out of this hole Wake up goddammit, you still have a chance Of lifting yourself up, don't let it drag you to your end (don't let it drag you to your end) The peaceful feeling Is tempting me To abandon all my hope Shadows surrounding me I want to become one Just vanish from this earth But there's something that pushes me up This peace and quiet is wrong Can I do more than this? I feel there's more to do Wake up it's not time to die yet Just try to get out of this hole Wake up goddammit, you still have a chance Of lifting yourself up, don't let it drag you to your end (don't let it drag you to your end) Wake up it's not time to die yet Just try to get out of this hole Wake up goddammit, you still have a chance Of lifting yourself up, don't let it drag you to your end

Why you try to cheat Your way through this You see, I am not a fool Time and time again You think you're smart But you come across as daft Oh I can see through you and all of your lies Talk is all you do That's how you roll You're empty filled up with air Try to understand The world you're in Stop talking and do your work Oh I can see through you and all of your lies I can see through you Don't bullshit me You have to change Don't bullshit Why it is so hard For you to change What happens is all your fault If you lost your way Get back on track Until you get lost again Oh I can see through you and all of your lies I can see through you Don't bullshit me You have to change Don't bullshit You're blaming others for your shit and you can't fix a damn thing Whatever you have tried to do Is not enough to change Don't get me involved in your disgrace It's a lame way to save face Just stop it now, you must go home Save yourself from embarrassment Go home I can see through you Don't bullshit me You have to change Don't bullshit Don't try to fool me It can't be done You better get a grip now This is the last time You have to stop Don't blame all your shit on me Oh I can see through you and all of your lies

As I swim through the sea below Darker than black the water turns Going down Down Down Down Giant pressure Deep black sea Going through the dark Twisted eyes are looking at me From the depths of the abyss I can't see the sunlight above Darker than black my soul has turned Going Down Down Down Down Giant pressure Deep black sea Going through the dark Glowing eyes are looking at me From the depths of the abyss Deep Black Sea Deep Black Sea
7.
Walking through the ice I feel my fingers going numb Freezing winds blow through the air This is diamond dust My lungs are feeling heavier now In this frozen wasteland Sweet lethargy Sleep comes to me White storm clouds bury me In the snow Covered deep where no one knows In this freezing cold I try to breathe to survive But my chest is burning me The chill deep down is Freezing all my limbs I can't even move my Head, I'm fading out Into darkness Sweet lethargy Sleep comes to me White storm clouds bury me In the snow Covered deep where no one knows In this freezing cold Sweet lethargy Sleep comes to me White storm clouds bury me In the snow Covered deep where no one knows In this freezing cold

The Void 05:00
I am trapped inside this bubble here Away from real life outside this world Floating in the void A shadow that rummages through the space A lonely speck of dust I can't escape the Void (empty space the) Void (pitch black darkness the) Void (empty space the) Void (pitch black darkness the) Void is eating me alive the Void is tearing me apart the Void keeps torturing my soul If my soul's black I'm looking for Some eyes to reflect into Floating in the void I'm nowhere near the place I call my home I can't escape the Void (empty space the) Void (pitch black darkness the) Void (empty space the) Void (pitch black darkness the) Void is eating me alive the Void is tearing me apart the Void keeps torturing my soul I'm drifting apart into the unknown Wandering like a ghost Floating in the void I'll fade and vanish into thin air I can't escape the Void (empty space the) Void (pitch black darkness the) Void (empty space the) Void (pitch black darkness the) Void is eating me alive the Void is tearing me apart the Void keeps torturing my soul

I look to the sky Where shooting stars Pass across the black clouds Life is going fast It is a haze A blurry frame in a wall The air feels so strange I don't know why I've lost the ones I love It's my fault I guess What happens next It's all up to me But I don't want To lose you I don't care If you're here or miles away Please don't go away I know what it feels To love someone Only to be tossed away Life is such a bitch A cruel one There are no guarantees It feels like a waste To put your heart And soul into a shipwreck Now I'm here alone And times flies by Nothing to give or take But I don't want To lose you I don't care If you're here or miles away Please don't go away
10.
Be Stronger 04:40
Weak weak weak I feel like a desolate wreck oh no Frail frail frail I'm just a total failure and I know God God God just put me out of my misery this time I Don't don't don't have the balls to slash my wrists I am too scared to Try try try to blow my brains with a shotgun in the night I just don't have what it takes I just don't have what it takes I want to feel alive again Don't lose hope Just don't try to end your life Please be stronger Way way way out of here I just wanna go and disappear Night night night time comes and I have to make a decision Dark dark dark is the end of the tunnel no light outside Run run run from my own demons that are messing with my brain Come come come to me sweet relief to end this nightmare finally I just wanna end all this pain I just wanna end all this pain I want to feel alive again Don't lose hope Just don't try to end your life Please be stronger
11.
Are you there somewhere in a place that I can find? Or are hiding away from me? Will you come back and forget about the past? Or will you carry on with your grudge inside your heart? Life can be easier if you just let it go The worst things you have done I forgot them long ago Still you refuse to look at me in the eye Holding to your hate will kill you in the end Bury your hate Bury your fear Bury your lies Six feet under Bury your hate Bury your fear Bury your lies Six feet under Are you playing games trying to waste my precious time? Or you just can't say out loud the things you feel Do you realize that I don't care anymore? What will it take to make you stop the pretense I wish things could be better for us right now The pass of time won't change the way you feel about me Are you OK? Do you feel better now? Holding to your rage will kill you in the end Bury your hate Bury your fear Bury your lies Six feet under Bury your hate Bury your fear Bury your lies Six feet under Now it is time to say goodbye You leave me no choice to fix this mess Now it is clear what you really want I'll leave you alone Say no more It will take time to erase you from my mind I may forget you in a year or twenty years There is no point in trying to make amends You just didn't listen to anything I had to say I'll find my way with or without you No matter what yo do it's too late to connect Go away I no longer need you Get a life I'm done it's over now Bury your hate Bury your fear Bury your lies Six feet under Bury your hate Bury your fear Bury your lies Six feet under

No life to see around not even a bird in the sky Dry bones across the land no animal left on sight Across the open fields a cloud of smoke fills up the air The blue has faded out replaced by an orange hue There is nothing to see in this scorched land There is nothing to save, nothing has survived The Earth is dying a painful death Where there was water now there's nothing but dried up dirt Big cities thrived before but now there are only ruins No human left alive, there's thousands of skulls piled up The end of life has brought the ultimate silence There is nothing to see in this scorched land There is nothing to save, nothing has survived The Earth is dying a painful death Life comes to an end There is no escape Pitiful humans thought They would survive The sky falls down The earth breaks down Pitiful humans They wanted a chance Heat waves are burning down everything to a cloud of ash The lava flows unhinged like a river of flaming hate The earth is tearing down smashing everything down to bits And mountains crumble with a rumbling scream of death There is nothing to see in this scorched land There is nothing to save, nothing has survived The Earth is dying a painful death Life comes to an end There is no escape Pitiful humans thought They would survive The sky falls down The earth breaks down Pitiful humans They wanted a chance

about

This is my 8th solo effort. The name "Chaos & Creation" came from the idea that I wanted to make an album that was radically different from my previous efforts. An album of progressive rock, metal, melancholic pop rock, etc. wouldn't cut it this time. I wanted a new sound and feel. So, "Chaos & Creation" relies heavily on cinematic elements, specially the percussion and rhythm section. It sounds big. The overall mood is quite dark but unlike "Ghost Melodies", this album has no instrumental tracks. It's still a song-oriented effort as my previous albums but it sounds different. I hope you enjoy this album. Thank you very much for your support.
