Entity: I am so confused What is going on inside my head Cannot find any purpose in this Elation: See there is, most certainly, light behind that curtain Depart us, move go leave now Happiness is the only way you see! Entity: This darkness keeps coming down on my There is just no way out you can't flee! Elation: Can't you feel, pure truth in me This is not how it's supposed to be Little lad, how do you think this flows It's me who reigns, now please stop you're woes! Entity: Fine! Hide I will, but this is not right, I'll be back soon! Elation: See there is, most certainly, light behind that curtain He left us, away off he went Happiness is the way my friend!

Elation: This presence everywhere, I do not dare To take a chance and see a glance, Go outside, I have to hide - where has it gone my pride? Can't take this shit, I don't wanna quit, My place is here, can't think quite clear, feeling numb inside, won't fight! Stubborn as hell, does it ring a bell? I want a kick, but it makes me feel sick, Filter out what's good and bad, Am I getting mad? It goes on and on from dusk till dawn, destroyed comfort zone, trapped in a dome, Full of hate and grief, a prison cannot leave .. Entity: Stuck in here forever! My head and I we are at war, Don't know yet what I'm fighting for! This turbulence inside of, Thoughts they run vigorously, Encounting myself feels the same, Like playing just a little game, This conflict with another guy, Makes my inner voice feel shy! You, should be gone! Hatred rising high! Not free yet! You're end is close! False crows show, before you know! Anger, discomfort, hate Feels hard to keep my head calm Puls is gaining, heart beats faster, Panic shows, can I find the answer? It's time for the final confrontation, Don't like those situations! What is going on, can'T control my thoughts! Elation: (same as first verse)

Elation: Those times of cheer, make my anchor away All seems so quite clear, Like it could not be any other way This time, it will hold on lastingly This feels just ideal, preserve this moment of truth, don't flee Walk you're path now go, Take you're time, enjoy the show This is only now, embrace this feel of "wow" Change you're life and throw, away the thoughts that grow, There inside you're head you fool - it's time for joy to rule! Now the time, has come The dark times they are gone I was suppressed bent down Then I was reborn and stopped to frown Free now, for good, whoa whoa Embrace this moment of truth Take it in, don't let it go Cause no one will give it back to you, you know (Chorus) Here I stand, it was good but then all went down for me I'll be banned, emptiness has filled this place, as dark as the see But then: fight this battle now It is not lost yet, I won't soe Hope's not lost, this will not end at any cost It will go on! Entity: Yeah! Look at you! Saw the truth! We can'T choose! You can only loose! Elation: What else can I do let me go, uncertainty rules Entity: Vaccilation, indecision Gloominess, blackout Agony, search for the key! Elation: I try not to listen, Self-pity poor you! Thought that is was over, Then I learnt something more The darkness is a part of us Brings balance to this chaotic fuzz In times of rain and storm It's the best chance to be re-born Let it be, back down concede Cause summer leads to autumn so let it grow this seed! (Chorus) ... it's time for both to rule .. Time to join now! You won't get us down! Conscience, of balance, habe patience And don'T overrate sterness with legerity, all those memories They won't come back no! (Chorus) ... it's time for both to rule ..

about

Mind Split: The Inner Fight is a concept album, telling the story of a person who's mind is generally ruled by two equal parts. Elation, which is responsible for the happy, energetic, but also disciplined part and Entity which represents the animalistic, compulsive and darker sides of the persons mind.
In the beginning both characters, don't get along with each other. Through out time, they get to know each other but mostly themselves better - still the road is a bulky one, and you never know when the mood changes ..

The album is inspired by old but also very recent progressive rock and metal and is thought to show the hole spectrum of emotions - not only jolly, nor aggressive but a turbulent mixture of all - it is highly recommended to listen to the whole album, as one piece, from the beginning to the end.

Have fun and thanks for listening and supporting this project!
