• 1. The Siege (04:24)
   copy

  [Intro: Andrea Ferro]
  The enemy will stay up late
  In silence to patrol
  I'm under siege
  It's my war
  
  [Refrain]
  I'm back against the wall
  
  [Verse 1: Cristina Scabbia, Cristina Scabbia & Andrea Ferro]
  Time is deceiving
  But it's up to me now
  I must be the better version of me
  To resist
  I'm tasting my blood
  And I'm dressed in bruises
  
  [Pre-Chorus: Cristina Scabbia]
  No matter what comes my way
  I'm here to face it all
  This life is just a moment
  I've built among my ruins
  
  [Chorus: Andrea Ferro & Cristina Scabbia, Cristina Scabbia]
  No matter how hard you try
  No matter if I fall
  Surrender is no option
  I've nothing left to lose
  I stand up without complaints
  I'm focusing on you (Focusing on you)
  The distance is decrеasing
  I am relentless
  
  [Verse 2: Cristina Scabbia]
  Ears arе ringing
  I know it's up to me now
  I can see the countdown
  Over my head, it is grim
  But I've come so far
  Even if it's grueling
  
  [Pre-Chorus: Cristina Scabbia]
  I never felt so broken
  I've never given up on you
  My body took the damage
  But I'm not bleeding through
  
  [Chorus: Andrea Ferro & Cristina Scabbia, Cristina Scabbia]
  No matter how hard you try
  No matter if I fall
  Surrender is no option
  I've nothing left to lose
  I stand up without complaints
  I'm focusing on you (Focusing on you)
  The distance is decreasing
  I am relentless
  
  [Bridge: Cristina Scabbia]
  Here and once for all
  I will fight till the end
  I'm on overload
  But I'm undefeatable
  [Pre-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]
  No matter how hard you try
  
  [Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Cristina Scabbia & Andrea Ferro, Cristina Scabbia]
  No matter how hard you try
  No matter if I fall
  Surrender is no option
  I've nothing left to lose
  I stand up without complaints
  I'm focusing on you (Focusing on you)
  The distance is decreasing
  I am relentless
• 2. Oxygen (03:45)
   copy

  Stop wasting my time
  Fight
   
  When I look for confrontation
  You hesitate, run away   
  Isolation like prison
  Inner self to escape
   
  Inhale
  Ready to dive
   
  Your oxygen is not enough to save me
  Trapped in toxic waters I forgot to breathe  
  I cave in as i’m leaving everything behind
  I’ve been craving something I can’t have
  And you’re wasting my time 
  Let’s get in this battle now
   
  Then you seek for compensation 
  But you’ve got nothing in trade
  Annihilation of dreams and
  Only yourself to blame
  Let’s break
   
  Cut off your bullshit it’s all said and done
  You’re too late
  I’m pulling the plug
   
  We’re fading from the inside
  It’s an inner struggle
  Fight
  Ready to die
   
  My breath is getting lighter
  I float on crimson waters
   
  In this everyday battle
  Fight
• 3. Scarecrow (04:48)
   copy

  [Intro: Andrea Ferro]
  Standing like a scarecrow
  
  [Verse 1: Cristina Scabbia]
  I come back to life when dark stands still
  And when nobody's around I'm like a dummy
  Just a poor man's design
  It's hard to spot me in a crowd
  I don't look alive in an empty field
  When there is no one around
  I know it's funny how I look in disguise
  But I've been frozen all my life
  
  [Pre-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]
  Dark celebration as I realize
  
  [Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
  Aren't we all scarecrows praising the sun?
  Here we stand together
  Realize we won't bend or break
  Until the day is over
  Upon our fields
  Aren't we all scarecrows?
  We project eternal shadows
  
  [Post-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]
  We're standing through rain and shine
  [Verse 2: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
  I'm half alive but I am mostly dead
  Under the midnight sky
  A still life frame inside the gallery of time
  No one can figure me out
  'Cause I'm a freak of nature
  I don't want to belong
  You might think that I'm a failure
  But I'll prove you wrong
  
  [Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
  Aren't we all scarecrows praising the sun?
  Here we stand together
  Realize we won't bend or break
  Until the day is over
  Upon our fields
  Aren't we all scarecrows?
  We project eternal shadows
  
  [Post-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]
  I am a freak of nature
  And I don't want to belong
  No failure
  
  [Bridge: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
  But sometimes I just feel a little lonely
  Hollow eyes witness every passing day (No failure)
  Won't turn my face away from the sunlight
  Through the thick and thin
  I always had it my way
  No, I don't mind about the odds
  Bring on the judgemental storm all over me (No failure)
  Resilient against all elements
  Let the crows dance and fly above my head
  [Pre-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]
  We project eternal shadows
  Standing through rain and shine
  
  [Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
  Aren't we all scarecrows praising the sun?
  Here we stand together
  Realize we won't bend or break
  Until the day is over
  Upon our fields
  Aren't we all scarecrows?
  We project eternal shadows
  
  [Outro: Andrea Ferro, Cristina Scabbia]
  I am a freak of nature
  And I don't want to belong, no failure
  Won't turn my face away from the sunlight
  Through the thick and thin
  I always had it my way, oh
  We are freaks of nature
  And we don't want to belong
  We're scarecrows
  Resilient against all elements
  Let the crows dance and fly above our heads
• 4. Gravity (04:03)
   copy

  Decretum fatale
  Aeterna sententia
  Cruciatus immanis
  Servitus perpetua
  
  Decretum fatale
  Aeterna lacuna
  Divinum refugium
  Nefasta fortuna
  
  Drag me down
   
  Feel the adrenaline in my veins
  As I float in despair
  With a stone around my heart
  I hold my mind in place
  Through dark avenues
  Of depression and hate
  Pull me down
  
  I have to fall down to climb back on top 
  I know how it goes when it’s gone too far
  But the center of my gravity is now shattered
  I can’t find the balance that i’ve lost
  
  Ground myself to earth
  On the verge of abduction
  Forget about the life I used to know
  Where am I really from?
  Distance and time
  Are gonna live inside
  ’Til the bitter end
  Pull me down
  
  Where do we go 
  When we are not tangible anymore?
  Do we travel on a trail of clouding light forever?
  Or we disappear somewhere we can’t be seen
  And fall asleep into eternity?
  
  It’s gone too far
  I will fall down
  I’ve gone too far 
  I’m falling down
• 5. I Wish You Were Dead (02:52)
   copy

  I wish you were dead
  Inside of my head
  A particle of dust
  That slowly disappears
  
  Please keep walking with that grin on the face
  You're still making me feel smaller than a grain of sand
  Ten thousand prayers cannot heal the regret
  In our ceremony of despair
  
  I didn't think the epiphany of the day
  Could come back at me tenfold in unexpected ways
  I thought it would have been a give and take
  I gave it all you got me nothing instead
  
  I wish you were dead
  Inside of my hеad
  A particle of dust
  That slowly disappears
  The cursе in my breath
  Spit out in the wind
  If this is the end
  You need to disappear
  
  Footprints in the sand eroded by tides
  The wait of time deletes all corrupted files
  You can't hurt me now
  My heart is buried
  It's six feet under
  
  I wish you were dead
  Inside of my head
  A particle of dust
  That slowly disappears
  The curse in my breath
  Spit out in the wind
  If this is the end
  You need to disappear
  
  I wish you were dead
  
  I wish you were dead
  Inside of my head
  A particle of dust
  That slowly disappears
  The curse in my breath
  Spit out in the wind
  If this is the end
  You need to disappear
  
  I wish you were dead
  I wish you were
• 6. Hosting the Shadow (04:19)
   copy

  My time is up but I don't care
  I march alone
  Alienated
  I won't drift away
  Born a loner
  I don't bind
  I just need the pain to feel alive
  
  I flirt with the dark
  I'm suffocating
  The turmoil inside
  To set my demons straight
  
  'Cause I'm not afraid of the absence of light
  At the bottom of the Well, I find respite
  And it doesn't even matter if I'm dead or alive
  Alone, I'm hosting the shadow
  
  This life is coming with a price
  No room for negotiation
  A never-ending debt I cannot repay
  I need to hold on
  And don't be afraid
  To embrace the darkest side
  Of my bleak heart
  
  I traded my soul
  Knowing I took the chance
  Of losing myself in the exchange
  
  'Cause I'm not afraid of the absence of light
  At the bottom of the Well, I find respite
  And it doesn't even matter if I'm dead or alive
  Alone, I'm hosting the shadow
  
  Let the rain fall hard
  And purge the road
  'Cause my life feels so uneasy
  I've got nothing to lose
  Oh, I know
  I'm finding comfort into the gloom
  Feeling bullet proof
  Laughing with my shadow
  
  Laughing with my shadow
  Laughing with my shadow
  Laughing with my shadow
  Laughing with my shadow
  
  And it doesn't even matter if I'm dead or alive
  
  'Cause I'm not afraid of the absence of light
  At the bottom of the Well, I find respite
  And it doesn't even matter if I'm dead or alive
  Alone, I'm hosting the shadow
  Let the rain fall hard
  And purge the road
  Alone, I'm hosting the shadow
  Let the rain fall down
  And purge my soul
  Alone, I'm hosting the shadow
• 7. In Nomine Patris (04:54)
   copy

  [Intro: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
  In nomine patris
  
  [Refrain: Cristina Scabbia & Andrea Ferro]
  In nomine patris
  In nomine patris
  
  [Verse 1: Cristina Scabbia]
  I'm going too fast, my legs are tied
  I won't survive another night
  It's hunting me down from the inside
  Analyzes and intrudes my thoughts
  I've never felt so hopeless and defeated
  So torn and crucified
  This night's gonna flash before my eyes
  Before I die
  
  [Chorus 1: Cristina Scabbia, Crisitina Scabbia & Andrea Ferro]
  Thousand tears are mourning on a cross
  Before I lose myself, In nomine patris
  I repent, let go of all the sins
  I hear the voice of pain, In nomine patris
  
  [Verse 2: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
  I never felt so crashed and desecrated
  Burnt and consumed inside
  This life's gonna flash before our eyes
  Do we really wanna save ourselves?
  'Cause we have become the failure
  We're running out of time
  We've sold our beliefs, so sacred
  Minds to purify
  
  
  [Chorus 1: Cristina Scabbia, Crisitina Scabbia & Andrea Ferro]
  Thousand tears are mourning on a cross
  Before I lose myself, In nomine patris
  I repent, let go of all the sins
  I hear the voice of pain, In nomine patris
  
  [Bridge: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
  And even if heaven now is open wide
  It's dark as hell and so hard to find
  I'll keep walking my path, following the horizon in my head
  And I feel I'm getting closer to the beginning or the end
  I'll build my empire
  
  [Guitar Solo: Marco Coti-Zelati | Refrain: Andrea Ferro]
  In nomine patris
  
  [Chorus 2: Andrea Ferro, Andrea Ferro & Cristina Scabbia]
  We're mourning on a cross before we lose ourselves
  In nomine patris, In nomine patris
  Let go of all the sins, I hear the voice of pain
  In nomine patris, In nomine patris
• 8. Sleepless Empire (04:02)
   copy

  [Verse 1: Andrea Ferro]
  We're dreaming with open eyes
  In a state of disarray
  We are like kings locked in a cage
  Waiting for salvation that will never come
  There is no forever, we will be replaced
  
  [Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
  Suspended without motion
  A syndrome of sedation
  Lost in a sleepless empire
  It's the infinite cycle
  Where past and future are aligned
  In a sleepless empire
  
  [Verse 2: Andrea Ferro]
  We're caught up in the rapture
  Seduced by short term gains
  We only praise false gods
  We lack common sense and just live for the day
  There is no forever, we are not afraid
  
  [Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
  Suspended without motion
  A syndrome of sedation
  Lost in a sleepless empire
  It's the infinite cycle
  Where past and future are aligned
  In a sleepless empire
  [Bridge: Cristina Scabbia]
  Are we algorithms or just an obsolete creation
  Enslaved in a world that is eroding?
  Living in denial
  We're logged in with the same old pattern
  An easy code to be remembered
  
  [Refrain: Andrea Ferro]
  [?]
  This is a sleepless empire
  
  [Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
  Suspended without motion
  A syndrome of sedation
  Lost in a sleepless empire
  It's the infinite cycle
  Where past and future are aligned
  In a sleepless empire
  
  [Outro: Andrea Ferro & Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
  Aeterna insania
  Ignifer cruciatus (Neurotic empire)
  Aeterna insania
  Ignifer cruciatus
  Perpetua insomnia
  Ignifer cruciatus (We're tossing the dice)
  Perpetua insomnia
  Tormentum humanum (To rule the sleepless empire)
• 9. Sleep Paralysis (05:20)
   copy

  [Verse 1: Cristina Scabbia]
  Hold my hands
  I swear I cannot comprehend
  I'm trapped in an eerie space, unmoving
  Why do I feel I'm aware in unconciousness
  As I carry the shadow with me?
  
  [Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Cristina Scabbia & Andrea Ferro]
  Come with me
  In my sleep paralysis
  With me
  In my sleep paralysis
  
  [Verse 2: Cristina Scabbia]
  Impending doom
  Turning sleep into a battleground
  I know it's untrue
  But it's feeling so tangible (Isn't real)
  I don't think I can cope anymore
  (Breathe)
  
  [Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Cristina Scabbia & Andrea Ferro]
  Come with me
  In my sleep paralysis
  With me
  In my sleep paralysis

  [Bridge: Andrea Ferro]
  I cannot move and I cannot scream
  I roll my eyes, it's hard to breathe
  I'm lost
  Can't find a way out of this
  
  [Guitar Solo]
  
  [Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Cristina Scabbia & Andrea Ferro]
  Come with me
  In my sleep paralysis
  With me
  In my sleep paralysis
  
  [Outro: Andrea Ferro]
  I cannot move and I cannot scream
  I roll my eyes, it's hard to breathe
  I'm lost
  Can't find a way out of this
  My nightmare blends with rеality
  I'm stuck in a loop of anxiety
  Burned out
  I'm consumed alivе
• 10. In the Mean Time (03:32)
   copy

  The scar and the hurt
  The dream and the blood
  
  We are locked up inside
  In the sickness of our time
  We're losing control
  Now it's hard to let it go
  It feels like dying on the floor
  Waking up in pain
  
  We are alone together
  No one belongs
  
  In the mean time
  I'm falling down
  I don't know how to reset myself
  I'm still stuck inside my mind
  I cannot breathe anymore
  
  We lived through things I cannot say
  I feel the cold when you twist the blade
  So deep in the cuts
  We arе blood
  We are hurt
  We arе the forsaken
  We're living in vain
  As we die inside
  
  In the mean time
  I'm falling down
  I don't know how to reset myself
  I'm still stuck inside my mind
  I can't compete anymore
  
  Did they ever tell you to be stronger?
  Did they ever force you to be fine?
  There is something that they'll never understand
  Everything cannot be aligned
  When you lost the way
  And you fear yourself
  When the pain never lets you go
  It's hard to push yourself through another day
  Nothing kills you like your own twisted mind
  I can't compete anymore
  
  In the mean time
  I'm falling down
  I don't know how to reset myself
  Cannot be like you want me to
  Don't want to be like you all
  I just want to lurk in the dark
  Start over again

• 11. Never Dawn (04:49)
   copy

  Run
  
  Ignite the fire in your heart
  Close to impossible
  Stand up and overcome the invisible
  
  I have to rely on myself
  Fighting with my bare hands
  Existing through the hurt
  Digging another grave
  
  It is so inhuman, grotesque
  It's coming
  I look around it's a mess
  
  Ignite the fire in your heart
  Close to impossible
  Stand up and overcome the invisible
  Get down to the core
  Be brave
  And I will be there waiting for you
  
  I stand with none by my side
  Craving for my vengeance
  Exhausted I can't sleep
  Dreaming the blood I shed
  
  I've cried but you'll never know
  I stagger but will not fall
  I might crawl but will never kneel
  I will dodge every spell you will cast on me
  As pain has never made me tender
  Life has taught me well
  Yes, I entered hell and it felt like home
  I'll still make sure
  The dark sun never dawns
  Never dawn
  Never dawn
  
  Ignite the fire in your heart
  Close to impossible
  Stand up and overcome the invisible
  Get down to the core
  Be brave
  And I will be there waiting for you
  
  Never dawn
  Never dawn
  Never dawn
  Never dawn
