Empty Inside 05:09
Drained of all emotion Emptiness inside No words left to console you Head in silent night Still waiting for the dream to end To see the sun shining bright Hiding away the thoughts Clouding my mind So empty inside I'm empty inside So empty inside I'm empty inside Calming the storm While standing in the eye yourself Feeling the breeze Whistling through your hair Lost for words To explain your inner self Restrained feelings For the greater good Still waiting for the dream to end To see the sun shining bright Hiding away the thoughts Clouding my mind So empty inside I'm empty inside Still empty inside So empty inside

Talking to a gypsy In the middle of the night Telling me my future Don't know if she's wrong or right Staring in her eyes Bright as the day When she talks I just want to get away Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide Stay in the shadow Don't step in the light Seeing her again In my dreams The world is dark And not what it seems Hiding in the darkness Ready to strike I still dont believe this Didn't know what its like To be the prey Of a witch in the night To be hunted By a witch in the night Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide Stay in the shadow Don't step in the light

Darkness settling Twilight time Looking for shelter Hear the clocks chime Crawling and seeking for cover Don't make no sound Soon it will all be over I see you're lying on the ground See you running While I hide Your name is on my list For tonight Hunting the hunter Reversing the game If this takes forever We are all the same Hunting the hunter Focus your aim The world keeps on turning We are all the same See each other Eye to eye Trying to fire Say goodbye Arrows flying Coming so close Icy sweat Your fear shows See you running While I hide Your name is on my list tonight Hunting the hunter Reversing the game If this takes forever We are all the same Hunting the hunter Focus your aim The world keeps on turning We are all the same Hunting the hunter Reversing the game The world keeps on turning We are all the same

Heart of Stone World outside Heart of Stone Watching the night Blinding flash Searing pain   We’re living behind Walls of glass And can't reach out Enceased in crystal loneliness No way out   Synaptic terror Fiery reign No place to run From the pain   We’re living behind Walls of glass And can't reach out Enceased in crystal loneliness No way out   Living behind Walls of Glass All you see Is crystal loneliness Draining soul Drying out No voice left To cry out loud   We’re living behind Walls of glass And can't reach out Enceased in crystal loneliness No way out   We’re living behind Walls of glass And can't reach out Enceased in crystal loneliness A single face in the crowd

The Storm 00:55
Nothing take me Ever from your side Nothing will break me Tonight Fearful holding hands Waiting for the storm Flashing lights The storm

A light breeze touches your hair You look across the sea with a silent stare You think of home Beyond the waves were you once lived Now a burden so heavy to lift You carry it alone Try to forget the pictures Burned into your head Try to bury the pain Your sanity is hanging on a thread All you have is what you carry All your dreams you had to bury In this watery grave From the sea we came to here To live under safer skies Driven by hopes and fear With Memories that cut like a knife From the sea we came to here We had to cut all our ties Driven by hopes and fear All thats left are your empty eyes You try to fit in, move ahead Lying awake at night in your bed Wondering if this is real Day and night in fear for your health You came here for safety not for wealth With a heart of steel Try to forget the pictures Burned into your head Try to bury the pain Your sanity is hanging on a thread From the sea we came to here To live under safer skies Driven by hopes and fear With Memories that cut like a knife From the sea we came to here We had to cut all our ties Driven by hopes and fear All thats left are your empty eyes

Flying through a galaxy Drifting beneath the stars Parting clouds and dust Ethereal and weightless In space and time I am everywhere Seeing stars being born See them fade away When they dissolve to dust Final understanding Of everything that is and was And what will be Looking in the eyes of time See them looking back Back at me I am one with the universe A Universal Mind Nothing hidden Nothing in the dark All seeing eyes Hearing the songs of the stars Singing for me alone A billion voices Just for me Telling me of times long ago Of dreams and tears and hopes We are not alone I am one with the universe A Universal Mind Nothing hidden Nothing in the dark All seeing eyes Like a pearl on black velvet A void no light can flee It stares at me Luring me calling me Across the horizon Into its heart I am one with the universe A Universal Mind Nothing hidden Nothing in the dark All seeing eyes Coming closer The sight fills my mind And suddenly Black

Down I go Into eternal night A new world is waiting for me Riding a beam of light Across the sky Coming closer to my dream The event horizon behind me Nothingness in front I feel no fear The circles coming closer Time and space mean nothing more to me I am moving on ahead of time Diving down In the heart of the storm I am coming closer There is no escape Touching the void Reaching the light Listening to Floyd During my last flight Touching the void Surviving the night My fears are destroyed I see a glimmer of light I'm swallowed by energy and mist Black lightning strikes my mind Everything that exists Is now far behind Deeper and deeper I fall I see a light Heavenly voices call Out of the night Diving down In the heart of the storm Diving down To where it all will end Down I go Into eternal light Touching the void Reaching the light Listening to Floyd During my last flight Touching the void Surviving the night My tears are destroyed I see a glimmer of light

Emerging from chaos Shaking from the fall Surrounded by light A glowing wall Stars never seen Shining bright You shield your eyes Blinding white All your dreams are real your body and soul can heal You finally freed your mind Left your old life a universe behind My own reality feels like coming home All my life I have been lost and alone Trapped in a world so dark and grey Now I am free forever and I will stay Closing your eyes To see it clear You left behind All pain and fear Time and space Beneath your feet Finally home Where you are free All your dreams are real your body and soul can heal You finally freed your mind Left your old life a universe behind My own reality feels like coming home All my life I have been lost and alone Trapped in a world so dark and grey Now I am free forever and I will stay My own reality feels like coming home All my life I have been lost and alone Trapped in a world so dark and grey Now I am free forever and I will stay

about

"Alone" is the first album from Hannover-based Joyful Sorrow. Work on the album began in 2007 while still living in Copenhagen, the record consists of songs based on ideas where some date back to the last Millennium and waited for the right moment to be made into song.

The Album will be available in real physical form through my label "Sorrowsound Music" on Bandcamp and from me personally.

Stay tuned and thanks for listening !
