Verse 1:
More than inspired
Calling for pride
Climbing skyward
Point at yourself
Making hold breath
Laugh at life’s face
Chorus:
Risk! Leap in the dark
Flip of the coin
Luck of the draw
Bet! Gambling with life
Venture for hype
Vegas on bones
Verse 2:
Life with no chains
Go seize the chance
Dazzle like blaze
Price is not high
It’s just your life
Savor the drive
Chorus (x2)

Verse 1:
Dark morbid fancies in eager eyes
Disguise of virtue, in fact – the vice
Forbidden pleasure, my dainty sin
Exquisite torture and evil whim
Sweet scarlet poison in throbbing veins
The blush of cunning on pallid face
Chorus:
The blackest demons summoned by me
Are to come for you, little darling
And, you know, something makes me sure
Eventually, you’ll take the bait
My crows are circling over your head
You’d better not see them, angel
I’ll wait till you wave the white flag
And, you know, something makes me sure
Eventually, you’ll take the bait
Verse 2:
Your virgin conscience and heart so pure
I feel unconscious and insecure
So sacramental…oh so divine
Clear soul provoking committing crime
Deep seated terror in deer-like eyes
What’ll happen to you…do you surmise?

Verse 1:
Blessed poison. It’s spreading
Your face is burning though your hands are ice-cold
Red mixture’s throbbing, you are in stranglehold
Dive deeper, have a look on what is inside
Against your longing prudence is losing the fight
Rich your hand out, let your skin touch the air
Inhale euphoria in the midst of nowhere
Let this eternity be stalled for some more
Whether or not this joy is what you’ve asked for?
Chorus:
Look back but won’t see what’s behind
You’re getting deaf, you’re getting blind
I played with you enough, do fight
My grip against your soul and mind
The self-conviction you have signed
I smell your fear
Breathe down your neck
What a nightmare!
Verse 2:
It was tormenting but it’s over at last
You don’t know how you’ve managed to outlast
Pretend you’ll never seek to try it again
Go on, believe in pipe dream, blessed be, amen
Look, I’m surprised, don’t you need me anymore?
I’ve still got wonderland for you to explore
Think twice before refuse for good and for all
I see your doubts, then it’s better recall
Chorus (x2)

Christopher Island - Conflict
Verse 1:
Glimpse of a grin
Clattering teeth
Gleam of a blade
Clenching the fists
Predators’ feast
Caught on the tray
Ready to cheer
Faint-hearted prey
Chorus:
If God had meant us to fly
He'd have given us wings
It’s high time to defy
Confront and enter the lists
The pride raising from knees
The dignity keeping head high
The cowardice that kills
At last should itself die
Verse 2:
Running for life
Trying pull through
Here comes the end
Fears proved true
Dinning in ears
Blood smells like iron
Cannot hide tears
Bunny-like lion
Chorus

Verse 1:
Here I am
Kneeling on the ground
Picking and dispelling
The ash of memories around
Have to confess
Time played its trick on me
A lamb-like child
No more can call me
Wait
Don’t
Slip away
Life takes fee
From my flame
Blame
It’s
Me to blame
Now I pray
Time to wait
Chorus:
Watch the sky
Stars are as lonely as me
Being so cold, still shine
Proclaim their light the key
Keeping this light deep
Embraced by dismay
I’m at a crossroads
Choosing the right way
