▷ coldrain - THE WAR IS ON (Lyrics)

Lie after lie
The truth is abused by the wise
Blinded by pride, losing all sight
We never question all the answers
Can’t you see it’s time to draw the line
Before all that’s left is nothing but demise
Open your eyes

We can’t breathe, we can’t bleed
Surrounded by the enemy
The war is on, the war is on
We can’t eat, we can’t sleep
Until we make them scream defeat
The war is on

The war is on, so fight ‘till you drop
Stand your ground and never give up
Don’t give up

We will not die young
With a hole in our hearts
There is no salvation
We will not die young
Until the battle is won

We can’t breathe, we can’t bleed
Surrounded by the enemy
The war is on, the war is on
We can’t eat, we can’t sleep
Until we make them scream defeat
The war is on

When darkness turns to light
Will we see ourselves and know
We’re still alive

We can’t breathe, we can’t bleed
Surrounded by the enemy
The war is on, the war is on
We can’t eat, we can’t sleep
Until we make them scream defeat
The war is on

So let us sing (The war is on) (x3)
The war is on

*So I saw all kind of lyrics for coldrain’s new album and most of them aren’t accurate since it’s not that easy to exactly understand all that Masato is singing. I’ve taken these from the booklet lyrics that came with the CD but surprisingly even the booklet has some grammatical errors, missing words or entirely other words and also missing parts therefore I’ve listened patiently to each song and fixed the mistakes.

▷ coldrain - THE REVELATION (Lyrics)

Here we are, just let it go
Forget the fear and let yourself explode
Break down the walls
Freedom is yours if you strive for something more

I see through your lies under the whole disguise
Another hollow mind (Another hollow mind)
I see through your eyes, the light has made you blind
Leaving your soul behind

Wake up before your time is up
You’ll never know if you don’t try now
So go and don’t look back
This is your life, this is your time to shine

Welcome to the revelation
Liberate yourself, it’s now or never (Now or never)
Don’t you let them take you down
Welcome to your evolution
Free yourself and make it last forever (Last forever)
Welcome to the revelation

I see through your lies under the whole disguise
Another hollow mind (Another hollow mind)
I see through your eyes, the light has made you blind
It’s not too late to try
So bring yourself back

Welcome to the revelation
Liberate yourself, it’s now or never (Now or never)
Don’t you let them take you down
Welcome to your evolution
Free yourself and make it last forever (Last forever)
Welcome to the revelation

Seek and you will find all you need is inside (x2)
(Welcome to the revelation)

Welcome to the revelation
Liberate yourself, it’s now or never (Now or never)
Don’t you let them take you down
Welcome to your evolution
Free yourself and make it last forever (Last forever)
Welcome to the revelation

(Seek and you will find all you need is inside)
Seek and you will find all you need is inside

▷ coldrain - FALLING FOREVER (Lyrics)

You talk shit like you know it all
When all you really know is “Fuck all!”
You’ve been fed by the fools
With mindsets like yourself
You have no backbone, no fucking spine

How could you become so blind
Oblivious to all your crimes (All your crimes, all your lies)
How do you become so lost
To leech on someone else
With you I see no hope

You’re falling forever
Deeper into the hole you made
When you hit the bottom
No one can save you but yourself
Now it’s time for you to realise
You’ve gone too far

I’ve had enough
Sick of watching you take all we had
And throw it all down the drain
What a fucking waste

How could you become so blind
Oblivious to all your crimes (All your crimes, all your lies)
How do you become so lost
To leech on someone else
With you I see no hope

You’re falling forever
Deeper into the hole you made
When you hit the bottom
No one can save you but yourself
Now it’s time for you to realise
You’ve gone too far

Like the plague your spread your callous lies
Like a snake you paralyze
Like a worm underneath my skin
You’re a parasite

(You’re falling forever)
(Deeper into the hole you made)

You’re falling forever
Deeper into the hole you made
When you hit the bottom
No one can save you but yourself
Now it’s time for you to realise
You’ve gone too far (Far!)

You talk shit like you know it all
When all you really know is “Fuck all!”
You’ve been fed by the fools

▷ coldrain - BEHIND THE CURTAIN (Lyrics)

You live your life praying the sheeps
That do as they’re told and stay in line
Your hands stay clean from the blood
That’s shed by your morbid empire

The wall of lies you hide behind
Won’t last forever

Show yourself
We know it’s you behind the curtain
Pretending like you care
About everything and everyone
When all you think about is you

A hollow life was all you gave
To the ones who trusted your every lie
It’s time to pay for everything you’ve done
You can run but you can’t fucking hide

The wall of lies you hide behind
Won’t last forever traitor
Until the day you pay the price
We’ll hunt you down traitor

Show yourself
We know it’s you behind the curtain
Pretending like you care
About everything and everyone
When all you think about is you

You will pay for what you’ve done (x3)

(Show yourself)
We know it’s you behind the curtain

Show yourself
We know it’s you behind the curtain
Pretending like you care
About everything and everyone
But no matter how far you may run
No matter where you try to hide
In the end we’ll hunt you down
Hunt you down (x2)

▷ coldrain - NEXT TO YOU (Lyrics)

We’re hanging by a thread with nothing left to say
If there is an answer I guess we’ll never know
So tell me honestly can we find our way?
‘Cause I can feel the distance tearing us apart
Now we’re losing everything we had

Why when you’re close to me
Do you feel so far away?
Why when you’re here with me
Can you still not see my pain?
I’m lying here alone so cold
Next to you

You were all I needed to make me feel complete
But in these nights without you I haven’t slept for weeks
I’m losing who I am and everyday I wonder why
I just can’t let go

Why when you’re close to me
Do you feel so far away?
Why when you’re here with me
Can you still not see my pain?
I’m lying here alone so cold
Next to you

I played your game and took the blame
You drifted far away
The memories weren’t strong enough
We’ll never see “us” live another day! (Live another day!)

Why when you’re close to me
Do you feel so far away?
Why when you’re here with me
Can you still not see my pain?
I’m lying here alone so cold
Next to you

▷ coldrain - TIME BOMB (Lyrics)

Life has been taken for granted too long
The lies and excuses have conquered
A blind man can notice the system is crippled
Dreams are a long lost desire

And now it’s just a time bomb waiting to go off

So tell me why has it come to this?
We live just like we’re dead
Afraid of something, afraid of someone
It’s time to rise, rise, rise from the ashes
Rise, rise, rise it’s a new day

Life has been taken for granted too long
The lies and excuses have conquered
If all that is left is the flesh on our bodies
How can we call ourselves human

It’s just a time bomb waiting to go off
It might be seconds now
The world is a time bomb waiting to go off

So tell me why has it come to this?
We live just like we’re dead
Afraid of something, afraid of someone
It’s time to rise, rise, rise from the ashes
Now don’t you say you’re done believing there is hope
The clock is ticking but we’re still breathing
It’s time to rise, rise, rise from the ashes
Rise, rise, rise it’s a new day

It’s time to face all of our mistakes, it’s time to recreate
It’s time to stand up and walk again
Screaming “We’re not dead!”

So tell me why has it come to this?
We live just like we’re dead
Afraid of something, afraid of someone
It’s time to rise, rise, rise from the ashes
Now don’t you say you’re done believing there is hope
The clock is ticking but we’re still breathing
It’s time to rise, rise, rise from the ashes
Rise, rise, rise it’s a new day
Rise, rise, rise with your last breathe

▷ coldrain - VOICELESS (Lyrics)

We are the servants of mass deception
Controlled by what we think we know
Blinded by all our misconceptions
We’re losing sight of right and wrong

The truth that we need to know
Can’t be typed up and sent along
The things that we need to feel are real not artificial

Wake up, wake up it’s time to fight now
Stand up, stand up for what is real
We can get up if we hit the ground
But nothing is ours if we only follow

Is this a useless situation?
Am I a fool to think there’s more?
Here on the path of self-destruction
It’s time for us to change our course

In case you haven’t realised
The past is past, what’s done is done
The only way to make it right
Is to keep on moving forward

Wake up, wake up it’s time to fight now
Stand up, stand up for what is real
We can get up if we hit the ground
But nothing is ours if we only follow
Wake up, wake up it’s time to fight now
Stand up, stand up for what is real
This is a song for the voiceless ones
We will not stop ‘till you all stand up

We are the chosen, the sacrificial lamb
We are the chosen, this is the final stand
It’s time to rise up

Silence is broken
Truth has been spoken to set you free

Wake up, wake up it’s time to fight now
Stand up, stand up for what is real
We can get up if we hit the ground
But nothing is ours if we only follow

Wake up, wake up it’s time to fight now
Stand up, stand up for what is real
This is a song for the voiceless ones
We will not stop ‘till you all stand up

▷ coldrain - CHASING DREAMS (Lyrics)

I used to live my life behind closed doors
Afraid to step outside
Thought I had the answers every time
Blinded by my pride I never crossed the line
But little did I know, you need to take a risk to find it
Nothing in life is carved in stone
It’s all unknown

There is no end to possibility
There is no end to what we can achieve
So I’ll be the fool that still believes
We can make a difference in this world
Chasing our dreams

Never say it’s over when you’re down
Don’t ever surrender
If they throw you to the ground
Just pick yourself back up, fight for what you want
Life is a struggle, only the strongest will survive
So keep your head up high as long as you’re alive

There is no end to possibility
There is no end to what we can achieve
So I’ll be the fool that still believes
We can make a difference in this world
Chasing our dreams

There is no end to what we can believe

There is no end to possibility
There is no end to what we can achieve
Yeah, I’ll be the fool that still believes
We can make a difference in this world
Chasing our dreams (x7)

▷ coldrain - GIVEN UP ON YOU (Lyrics)

It’s all over, over
I’ve just given up, given up, given up on you
I’m not wasting my time with you in my life

Give me a reason I should ever listen to you
When all you think about is twisting the truth
Give me a reason, you can act so damn innocent
When all the fingers point straight at you
It’s too late, so many chances you went and wasted
Covering yourself in the dirt
It’s too late, there’s no exceptions, you can’t rewind this
So I’ll sing this fucking chorus for you

It’s all over, over
I’ve just given up, given up, given up on you
I’m not wasting my time with you in my life

I guess I was just to blind to see
See through your lies and deceit
I gave you my everything just to be left here bleeding
But we’re done now, second chances are gone now
I’m saying goodbye for good so back off

It’s all over, over
I’ve just given up, given up, given up on you
I’m not wasting my time with you in my life
Surrender, surrender
Just give it up, give it, give it up for good
I can see right through you
So don’t you even try to say a word

Yeah, you’ll be the one who’s left crying in the end
Yeah, I’ll be the one who’s left
surrounded by my friends singing “So long!”

It’s all over, over
I’ve just given up, given up, given up on you
I’m not wasting my time with you in my life
Surrender, surrender
Just give it up, give it, give it up for good
I can see right through you
So don’t you even try to say a word
Give me a reason (x2)

▷ coldrain - CARRY ON (Lyrics)

The colors fade away
And everything turns black and white tonight (Tonight)
I thought you’d always stay
Somehow on the right side of the line
I was wrong

When the days turn into weeks
You’ll be thinking about the mistakes you’ve made

Nothing here will ever be the same if you’re gone
I’ll do my best and look for ways to stay close to where you are
So do what you think is best for you now and carry on
Just carry on

Everything can change in the blink of an eye
But don’t forget you will be missed
The pain will fade but the scars will stay
Because a memory is stronger than
The months or the years of regret and tears
The guilt is nothing you can’t endure
So set aside your fears and come alive again

Nothing here will ever be the same if you’re gone
I’ll do my best and look for ways to stay close to where you are
So do what you think is best for you now and carry on
Just carry on

Can you hear the broken ones calling out for you (Calling out for you) (x2)

Nothing here will ever be the same if you’re gone
I’ll do my best and look for ways to stay close to where you are
So do what you think is best for you now and carry on
Just carry on (x2)
