Lacuna Coil - Black Anima Album Lyrics

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

The walls 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 cared enough?
And now I pay for this

Cosa ne rimane della mia anima nera?
Cosa ne rimane della mia anima nera?
Cosa ne rimane della mia anima nera?

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

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

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

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 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

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)

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 disguised
Healers and dealers of this time
The poison enters every night
Well disguised

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

Blaze
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
The road is paved with pain
Keep walking
We'll find the way

Layers of time
Layers of time

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

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

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

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

Walk me out of here
Take me away

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

Now or never
The time is right
Out of your shelter
Crawl back to life

Walk me out of here
Take me away

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

Walk me out of here
Take me away

Now

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

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

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

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

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

Life
There is no point

There's much more
That hides behind
All your senses are compelled to lie

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
'Cause I want to be with you
Now please answer my prayers
'Cause 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

Clean away my sins
'Cause I want to be with you
Now please answer my prayers
'Cause the end is all I can see

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

Clean away my sins
'Cause I want to be with you
Now please answer my prayers
'Cause the end is all I can see

(Burn it down)
Clean away my sins
'Cause I want to be with you
(Down)
Now please answer my prayers
(Burn it down)
'Cause the end is all I can see
(Down)

Save Me

Save me from myself
I can't help it, I'm breaking down
Save me from myself
I could use your faith right now

My skin is crawling and feel this pressure
Rushing from the inside out
I am lost right now
My mind is racing
Inside I'm cursing
Burning in my darkest thoughts again

So I keep asking myself
(Will I) Will I be strong enough to face this mess?
(So I) Stand here begging for help
(We are) The only humans walking through this hell

Save me from myself
I could use you faith, I'm breaking down

Depressed and hopeless
And held in despair
Don't know how to find a way to release myself
I'm going crazy
So close to getting out
Lies beneath, feels like it used to be

So I keep asking myself
(Will I) Will I be strong enough to face this mess?
(So I) Stand here begging for help
(We are) The only humans walking through this hell

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

Save me from myself
I could use you faith, I'm breaking down

So I keep asking myself
(Will I) Will I be strong enough to face this mess?
(So I) Stand here begging for help
(We are) The only humans walking through this hell

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 (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

Together we'll erase the suffering
Smash
Disarray
Our world is afraid
And falling
Pain
We are chasing the ghost that's trapped inside

You and me
Against the world
Break
When you're feeling all hope is lost
Smash
You are not alone
In a world of disarray
Disarray
All the walls that keep us separated
Chaos
We will break them all
And reunite
Rise
And when I'll be gone
You'll keep our legacy alive
