one bad temper on black day
got that grip on a long awaited clue
heard it coming from that hollow-way
this now really haunts you

arise to the occasion
live with the fear of an epic disaster
there's no solving this equation
never understood - but after

evade the ones that will remain
hush - for there's the rumour's trap
born into a dense black rain
crawl beneath the stair's last step

know no other time
bear no other guilt
this mere existence's mine
with an arcane longing still not stilled

arise to the occasion
live with the fear of an epic disaster
there's no solving this equation
never understood - but after

parade for me - you little shit
everyone detests your dedication
you can't escape this gravel pit
collapsing (into) deterioration

for what you see is not for real
speak - for nothin´ stays the same
fake's even what you smell or hear or feel
just the taste is truly bitter game

know no other time
bear no other guilt
this mere existence's mine
with an arcane longing still not stilled

Bring me - no more - of your fuckin` lies
I've looked - too long - into the traitor's eyes
