Lacuna Coil Black Anima 1. Anima nera I like to bury myself in pain You know what I mean I like to suffocate in all my memories Until I cannot breathe So I can taste again How hard it is To have a frozen heart inside my chest That only beats but doesn't feel That wall inside the room Are closing in I cannot see a door A little sparkle of light I cannot see any hope I wonder is it all my fault? is it because of me? is it because I never care enough? and now I pay for this Cosa ne rimane della mia anima nera? Anima nera Anima nera Anima nera 2. Sword of Anger We are the anima Ride We came Rising from the dark We've been riding for so long It's coming Many things to overcome Always learning from our past Bringing vengeance from the gods Never lost our way We don't heed you The sword of anger Will cut in the deep Still moving alone We feel no pain We don't heed you Beyond the blackness We find harmony Never belong Always chained to the sorrow Never hide behind remorse Silent ghosts Of what once was Rising from the shadow We've crossed to the other side And never lost our way Still running alone With no interest in what you say To free ourselves from the boundaries Let's breathe reeling into the darkness Swimming past all the hatred Overcoming our failures Beyond the surface We dig in the deep There's more to us than you will never see More Feel no pain We feel no pain Never lost our way 3. Reckless Tonight it's coming down To hell with all the innocence The signs are all around I've had enough Wasted too much time Afraid to cross the line Enough with alibis You make me, make me reckless You make me reckless You make me, make me reckless (Destroy) Let's wreck it down Let's be wild and get reckless (Now destroy) Keep the madness endless Give me danger along the ride (Unafraid to self destroy) Things won't be slowing down I'm high enough on bitterness The fire fills my eyes (Not afraid) I have never learnt to compromise I need to feel alive Enough with alibis (Feel alive) You make me, make me reckless You make me reckless You make me, make me reckless (Destroy) Let's wreck it down Let's be wild and get reckless (Now destroy) Keep the madness endless Give me danger along the ride (You make me reckless) Let's wreck it down Let's be wild and get reckless (Now destroy) Keep the madness endless Give me danger, come on, enjoy the ride (Smash) And break this down Let's be wild and get reckless (Destroy) Keep the madness endless Give me danger along the ride (Unafraid to self destroy) 4. Layers of Time Layers of time Layers of time I live the life I left behind A story born of scars and strifes My heart is blind and frozen I'm among snakes I'm well disguise Healers and dealer of this time The poison enters every night Well disguise Victims of time We take our chance again Our road is paved with pain The past we can't rewind Building this life Still trapped inside I think I've lost the storyline Forever hurt and broken I swear I'll get out alive Burning the bridges built behind My life's reloading every night Out alive Victims of time We take our chance again Our road is paved with pain The past we can't rewind Twisting Turning Through the baptism of fire Burning Angels Falling Through the spiral of time Twisting Turning Through the baptism of fire Burning Angels Falling Through the spiral of time Twisting Turning Through the baptism of fire Burning Angels Falling Through the spiral of time Twisting Turning Through the baptism of fire Burning Angels Falling Through the spiral of time Through layers of time We'll live again Forget the past We'll be alright Victims of time We take our chance again Our road is paved with pain Keep walking We'll find the way Layers of time Layers of time 5. Apocalypse While you pray We don't care While you pray Apocalypse It's going down This time And I'm surprisingly alive We've been condemned again Guilty of our innocence Do you preach about the revelation So far from evolution You're far from the solution While you pray We start a revolution You don't care And celebrate your lies While you pray You're far from absolution We don't care We leave it all behind We don't care Tell me all about your life Looking at the sand gliding down Through the hourglass Here we are again We know only time will tell Let the fate decide Right here Staring in each other's eyes Trusting in each other's lies 6. Now or Never Walk me out of here Take me away I made my way back to the living When I was already dead I can't believe this is for real I felt my heart skip a beat My vision was so unclear As I slowly revealed myself Now or never The time is right Out of your shelter Crawl back to life The beast is still unleashed I'm hating all of this I don't know what is wrong with me I know I will take the blame I left the good times in the past And maybe I'm already dead I won't surrender To a corrupted soul Under bloody flags We march in pain Through the turmoil Hold the flame There's no mercy for the innocent Now or never The time is right Now or never We are not down on our knees We're close to victory 7. Under the Surface Beneath the gloss There is no escape You're looking sharp But the smile is fake There's much more That hides behind All your senses are compelled to lie Solitary warm embrace That keeps me here confined Can't run away I search for comfort deep inside And I don't want to get away Escape from here I could be wrong but I don't care I'm imprisoned deep Alone Living in isolation from the world Demise But I feel fine Everything feels perfect When you're spinning lies Deceiving yourself But deep under the surface The battle comes alive Don't want to fight Everything's collapsing But you don't seem to care Disown Illusions and emotions are for sale Life There is no point Loneliness won't let me go And crawls beneath my skin It's moving in The filtered world I'm living in Is not as perfect as I think Don't want to hear It all gets old within a week But I just don't care Alone Living in isolation from the world Everything feels perfect The culprit sleeps inside But deep under the surface Your weakness comes alive Everything's collapsing You never stood a chance So keep on burying your head in the sand 8. Veneficium Nova vis ad diem novum nascitur Penìtus veneficium versatum revincitur I'm unmoving like a stone This silence screams so cold I wish I was so far from here But now I think we need to talk Sit right in front of me The dream we had has come to an end I would destroy my own life To consume your soul And smile But I'm locked into your world Again Here I come To show you all the wounds Inside my heart But it's all in vain Here I come I know That it will never be the same Now I need to be alone I spin out of control We're trapped inside the dream again Look now What we have become You're like a parasite Infecting me until the end There was a time We looked down from the clouds We climbed sky high Thought that we would never fall How come you didn't even try? Was it harder to fight than to let me go? Nova vis ad diem novum nascitur Penìtus veneficium versatum revincitur Arise Inside of you Defeat again Here I want to start again Keep learning day by day Forget the fear and feel free at last Because now I'm closer to the edge I'm afraid to see what I became I know that it will never be the same Here I come Knowing I will never be the same 9. The End Is All I Can See I am just realizing This  pain is almost like salvation Keeps  coming back to me Protects me from the voice of madness Clean away my sins Because  I want to be with you Now  please Answer my prayers Because the end is all I can see Twisting  and turning Anxiety moves in Is coiling inside me The evil within Stinging and burning Consumes me with guilt It plays with my senses Then crawls out of me No one answered my prayers There is nothing left here for me Now You need to burn it down Let's give it all an end I'm caught inside a maze I need to get out of this Trapped inside A prison in disguise I keep running around in circles Stuck on repeat again Burning your sins 10. Save Me Save me from myself I  can't help it I'm  breaking down Save me from myself I could use your strength Right now My  skin is crawling And  feel this pressure Pushing from the inside out I  have lost my nerve My mind is racing Insomnia kicks in Burning in my darkest thoughts again So  I keep asking myself Will I be strong enough to face this mess? So Iìm still here begging for help We're only humans walking through this hell Save me from myself I could use your strength I'm breaking down Oppressed and hopeless And held in this spell I don't know how to find a way To release myself I am going crazy So close to giving up Nothig here feels like it used to be And what remains is the shadow of my past I look in the mirror And hate what I see I don't recognise my face anymore And wonder where all of my dreams are gone Feeling lost and empty I know I can't turn back time But I just don't want to give up I can't give up 11. Black Anima The calm before the storm Clouds are moving in anticipation I'm longing for the rain to wash it all away Slowly I am losing control What's on the other side of the clouds? It's time to let go Release all control Destroy everything Rebuild it again Let go The countdown has begun Control Delete everything Destroy Erase and rewind Rebuild Repeat Go Together we'll erase the suffering Smash Disarray Our world is afraid And falling Pain We are chasing the ghost That's trapped inside I can see your anima You and me Against the world When you're feeling all hope is lost You are not alone In a world of disarray All the walls that keep us separated We will break them all And reunite And when I'll be gone You'll keep our legacy alive Break Smash Disarray Chaos Rise
