Awaking from my dream / I’ve seen the horrors no one else can see / disturbing reality or rather something else I cannot name / or at least virtuality / I don’t know it feels the same / drowning in this wicked game with no aim left to see / don’t know who to blame / my heart beats unevenly / I’m ridden by fears and it’s hard to breathe / I try to take a deep breath and focus on what’s real / suddenly I heard a voice / I turned around but there was no one else but me

But there’s a blossom deep inside the core / of my tormented soul, in the vaporized coal / a heavy lesson and a hundred more / from no on I’ve to abide this everlasting plight / determination blazing by my side / I’ll prevail all these fears / cast away all my tears / extermination fostering my might / although my soul is so sore I will master this chore

[:Chorus:] The Janus’ masks are my constant companion / inwardly shattered I am unsure if to get on / the Janus’ masks are a symbol of myself / will I triumph or will I fail?

At least I am unbent / strong enough to feel contempt / for those ones who regret everything will work out / and there is no doubt that I am the one to survive / still didn’t lose my faith / from now on to the grave / I hope to feel safe until everything aborts / and I start to become afraid / and there is no escape / moods switching like night and day / just can see black and white / nothing in between and nothing left to hide

A burden to endure / against all odds / shall I triumph or lose? / disregarding abuse / a dark path too obscure / defecting gods / set to conquer my mind / to unsettle, and to blind / this is my battle hymn / my spoken word / to my sworn enemy / the unknown majesty / you want to exploit my sins? / I’ll forge them into a sword / you cannot make it undone / our battle has just begun
