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
