Acoustic guitar intro written and recorded by Héctor Huambo.

Into yourself (0:00 - 0:42):

(Instrumental)

The power of introspection (0:42 - 3:20)

Verse 1:

Now that you've broken the seal you can see the other side.
You've reached now the darkest place.
There will be no turning back.

Coming from a pit of souls a screaming child appears.
The voice of your deepest fear is calling out your name.

Chorus:

You are afraid of caring cuz you can't stand another loss.
Your pain is dragging you down.

Vanishing your memories you will not escape the past.
Living in the future while dying in the present. 

Verse 2:

Caught in a masquerade ball you've been dancing with your grief.
As long as you deny it, it will always be parasiting you.

The gates of madness are opended again.
The sun turns arround. Fire turns to ice. You are in front of yourself.

Chorus:

You are afraid of caring cuz you can't stand another loss.
Your pain is dragging you down.

Vanishing your memories you will not escape the past.
Living in the future while dying in the present.

Bridge:

The ghosts of your past cannot die.
Learn to control them or you shall not ever be free.

Back to madness (3:20 - 3:56):

Whispers:

O jabruta, o mituta (A friend or death)

Dinjet le jivia, jabla madjel le (Whoever´s bitten by a snake fears the rope)

Esah Aynai (I will look up)
Inner Battle (3:56 - 5:06):

(Instrumental)
