Chimera 06:32
The night is not in vain, It’s time we play again. This night I’m on your trail, I saw your serpent’s tail. Hunting the illusion before it annihilates, Tame your own chimera. And when delusions heal, They have their own appeal. Let’s have a deal That I wouldn’t tell them from real. I’ve been told that fantasies are blind And they’re my kryptonite deep in the night. And here I fight, your own private knight, But you will fade out with daylight. You have the lanterns cold, The mysteries untold. Pure imagination, is it well to dwell on dreams? Dream your own chimera. And when delusions heal, They have their own appeal. Let’s make a deal That I wouldn’t tell them from real. I’ve been told that fantasies are blind And they’re my kryptonite deep in the night. Here I fight, your own private knight, But you will remain with daylight.

Nightborn 05:38
I’m called especially unclean, I drain unusual protein. I need my private crime From time to time. I’m not a hero, not a saint, I’m going out of restraints. My lips are blood and wine, But are they mine? What’s wrong with that Twilit silence? What crime is that I’m hopeless nightborn? I’ve got no friend, I’ve no alliance. The dark’s ahead, The day is dead. What’s wrong with that? I have a weird kind of lust. Within the cities in the dust I find a secret lane, There I remain. And in a hidden piece of dusk We meet again, we do a task. Now we’re forever chained Inside our veins.

Do you prefer to run from the world The only one way you see? You’re hiding here, you’re hiding there, You’re going nowhere, I fear. Are you afraid to battle the troll That made an escape years ago? The day is today, The day the whole world went away. So come on, shaking sparrow! Become a hero from the tales of old! Now you’re the only Master of this crazy world. So come on! One day they’ll make you a monument of gold! And the sign will say: “Where is a will, there’s always a way”. Do you escape from fighting inside, A battle that’s hard to see? You’re going left, you’re going right, Remaining nowhere, I fear. Do you refuse to follow your dreams? You should reinvent self-esteem. Come out of your shade, Now you become your own upgrade.

Shadowcat 06:09
They say there’s something in the dark On a rooftop sitting high. Its yellow eyes are a watermark Running for passers-by. Unseen but seeing everything, I sit on velvet paws. And in the dark I slowly sing Of light and darkness laws. They say that I’m a mystery, They’re sure I don’t exist. Followed by Magic Ministry I’m hiding in the mist. Silence on my red tongue, Laughter at heart instead. Nine lives yet remain undone, I’m arcanum, I’m shadowcat. They say there’s something in the parks, On the streets of silent town. The stone-block pavement patriarch, The stairways’ shady clown. Unheard but hearing everything, I’m lurking at your door. And of your fears I’m making fun, So wait until encore.

Never Asleep 05:12
I’m in the house of broken dreams, I’m in the house where rooms are blind labyrinth. The doors are locked And I cannot find the keys. I’m in the house of darkened fears, I’m in the house controlled by Fear Engineers. They’re ghostly hosts And they are one step behind. And they’re not going to let me run away. And they’re not going to let be overrun. Again they want me to obey. I’m falling, I’m burning. And they’re not going to let me break the spell. And they’re not going to leave me till I’m done. Again no time is left to tell. I need to run. I’m in the house of haunted screams, I’m in the house controlled by Fear Mechanism. I run and run, I keep falling down on stairs. I’m in the house of shattered hopes. I’m in the house of masters cutting the ropes. They’re never asleep, But will I get hurt again?
