"Nowhere Island" is a song inspired by the rebellious and visionary spirit of The Rose Island. The lyrics portray the struggle of someone who refuses to conform to society’s imposed rules, seeking to build a personal space where freedom and authenticity come first. Just like in the film, the song expresses the desire to create a new world — free, fearless, and where everyone can be their true self.
It seems that everything I do, she disapproves
But I won't stay inside this box like everyone else
I just don't fit in all those rules they have created
Why can't she see it? She is always running away
They say I'm living in my own world
That I'm not living in reality
Maybe they are right
Maybe she is right
So I will build my own world
Land of the free
We have no rules
Come into my world
Be what you want
Now my land is a threat
'Cause it can change the world
People are beginning to wake up
We are not afraid of your weapons

"Last Words" captures the final moment of an emotional breakup, where there's no room left for apologies or second chances. The lyrics paint a dark, melancholic scene with imagery of abandonment, rain, cold, and farewell. It's the inevitable end of something long unraveling, told with the urgency of someone no longer willing to wait for a change that never came.
Don’t even bother coming
This party is over
Lights are no longer burning
It’s getting colder
Can’t you see rain is falling
Just hear the thunder
Listen to what I’m saying
No time to wonder
Grab your coat and leave
Look for one more chance to grieve
There’s no time to warn
Now there’s no way you can say I’m sorry
Knew what was coming
That someone would save the day
Knew they were burning
The fire would fade away

A dark visitor knocks at the door, carrying the weight of destiny. “Soul Taker” tells the inevitable encounter with the one who comes to collect the price of past deeds — a merciless being who tears off the mask of appearances and takes what’s left: the soul.
Here comes the madman knocking at your door
Showing what he’s here for, claiming all that’s yours
You can’t feel your knees now, your hands are numb and still
He knows what you’ve done
You’ve just signed your will
You don’t know if it’s real
His own heart is made of steel
He knows you can’t tell, that’s your biggest fear
He casts a soul spell and you won’t see it clear
It’s when he comes and takes your soul, an easy task
It’s time to meet your maker, drop this fake old mask
Forget the good deeds you may’ve done
Confess your sins, every single one
Never forget what you did
You’re just a part of it
Don’t get to choose your last wish
Will you remember this?

“It Matters” is a cry of revolt and awareness. Born as a protest after the George Floyd case in 2021, the song denounces structural racism and the tragic repetition of violence against Black people, demanding real change and equality — because yes, Black lives matter.
The same shit is happening again, and again, and again
The difference is that you can see it on the news today
But it seems you don’t want to believe
Cause nothing in fact is changing!
Afraid to go to the market and be busted
In 21’ still a thing that is rooted
The shame is not enough to change what is happening
How many more needs to die in your hands?
It needs to get to an end and you have a role in that
Enough of hiding behind the same excuses
I can’t breathe!
I can’t speak!
Why does this life mean nothing to you?
In the streets people screaming their names
Enough of that, a simple thing to ask
The history is still repeating itself
Enough of that, a simple thing to ask

“Burning Inside” is an intense outpouring about the pain that lingers even as time goes by. The song reveals the inner struggle of someone who bears emptiness and longing, trying to find the strength to move forward without giving in to imposed beliefs or false promises of comfort. It’s a hymn of resilience, where wounds may heal but the fire burning inside the chest never fully dies out.
An empty hole in my chest
The pain is endless, my friend
I’ve never felt this way, my friend
It’s hard to explain
But here I am
Singing again
Some words that maybe nobody will understand
And I don’t feel they can
But here I am
They say I was a hero
I was just being myself
And this should not be a surprise
Tell me — was it enough?
Sometimes I wish I were a hero
And save the one I could not
Time passes
Wounds may heal
But the pain still burns inside
Time passes
Wounds should heal
Cutting tears that fall
I wish to believe
That we have something after this
And you may be okay
I cannot live with these beliefs
Otherwise I would not be here
But they insist that I believe
A lot of crap about some mission
And I know you just want to help
But please respect my position
Otherwise…
I’m standing here in front of you
You can see
I stay strong on the path I have
I will cry and I will fall sometimes
You will see
But I will stand here in front of you again!

Crazy World is a scream of rebellion against a society obsessed with looks, money, and lies. The song exposes the emptiness of a digital world where real faces hide behind plastic masks and manufactured illusions. It’s a raw, direct, unsettling outburst that reveals the exhaustion of someone who refuses to accept hypocrisy and the invisible sickness infecting human connections.
I woke up this morning and realized we’re facing a cyber pandemic
Why am I not beautiful?
Why am I not rich?
Why am I not as fucking cool as you?
This is a crazy world (that) we are living in.
Everybody is crazy and everybody is amazing.
We can't see true faces,
Only a sea of lies and selfish people.
We are all sick and I'm tired of all this shit.
I don’t care for your money,
I don’t care for your lies,
I don’t care for your new noses,
I don’t care for your lies,
I don’t care for your cars,
I don’t care for your fucking lies.
Keep your money — I don’t care,
Keep your lies — I don’t care,
Your new noses — I don’t care,
Keep your lies — I don’t care,
Keep your cars — I don’t care,
Your fucking lies — I don’t care.

“My King” portrays the rise of a leader destined to overcome his own ghosts and claim his place. Between battles, loyalty, and redemption, the song speaks of courage, faith, and the strength to fight for a greater purpose.
Excuse me sir, I see you’re there
Now take your time, and begin to tell
The world will know, it needs to feel
The pain is yours now it’s time to heal
Some man will bow, the goods will kneel
You’ll get your crown, no need to fear!
I heard your truth and now it’s time to begin
Build up your army and then soon you’ll be king
Make them fall down, make them die out, give in
Advance your troops and you are ready to shout
They’re not expecting you, there’s nowhere to run
Kill the bad ghosts, find the lost souls, dying out
And I’ll stay by your side
Fight them with all my heart
Your reign, your soul and kindness
Your men will do it all
I heard your truth and now it’s time to begin
Build up your army and then soon you’ll be king
Make them fall down, make them die out, give in
Advance your troops and you are ready to shout
They’re not expecting you, there’s nowhere to run
Kill the bad ghosts, find the lost souls
Dying out
Running out
Falling out

"Wounded Wolf’s Claws" tells the story of a lone warrior, embodied by the wounded white wolf, who bears the burden of fighting against demonic forces and sudden betrayal. Amid looming attacks, nights of watch, and grim news at dawn, the hero questions whether he can carry this weight alone, while his blood-stained flag still flies high as a symbol of defiance and survival.
We are waiting for the next attack
The devil will come with more troops
His hate increases, and so does our force
Our flag bears blood but will be raised
Come and rest, sleep the sleep of warriors
Here we are — soon comes the next attack
With the strength of Fenrir
Should I carry this burden alone?
The white wolf will fight alone
With the strength of Fenrir
OHOHOH
Nightfall came, no sign of them
The messenger brings the dawn’s news
The cleric sheds tears of sadness
Eline was arrested for betrayal
What should I do?

Inspired by Stephen King’s novel, “Misery” dives into the psychological horror between creator and fan. The song portrays captivity, obsession, and the loss of control in a relationship where love and madness intertwine — a dark tribute to the thin line between inspiration and insanity.
Sweet refuge for creation
The last page, a relief
A sip on my champagne
And just one cigarette
It's time to go home
With my new masterpiece
So much snow, I did not know
How can I flee from this?
Down into the deep
How could I survive?
I'm not alone in this storm
Look out the door, there’s no one
Hurry, the danger may come
There’s nothing outside to save you
So gather your strength and just run
Esteem and passion, now pure bizarre obsession
Control your destiny or she controls your mind
Esteem and passion, now pure bizarre obsession
Control your righteous mind or she controls your fate
I love you, my hostage, I am like two in one
I’m climbing to the top, no matter who I will dethrone
Don’t you dare to kill my friend, she’s with me until the end
In the darkest hours, you gave me all the power
Misery, I will give you life
Misery, I want you back, you’re mine

Based on the true story of a photographer who died covering a war, “The Soldier” is a tribute to the resilient eye on the front lines. The song contrasts violence and chaos with the courage of someone wielding a camera instead of guns, highlighting duty, solitude, and the cost of witnessing the truth.
Eyes will tell everyone
What a war may become
Get your share, no one cares
There’s no easy way out
This is war, smell the blood
Like before, not the first
Get your gun, you’ll get hurt
Can’t you tell?
Some tear gas will halt the crowd
One more death, a thousand more
Can you see the smoke ahead
I’m not scared
Feel the blood go down your cheek
Don’t you let them feel you’re weak
Hear the noise blow up your ears
The soldier that lies within me
He doesn’t carry guns, he carries pictures
The soldier that lives inside me
He doesn’t wave his guns, he shares his ideas
There’s no nation that you can’t save
So much passion
You’re on your own
There’s no mission that you can’t win
So much passion
You’re all alone
Get back to the field
All the others are fighting
Turning back is not something you will see
Watch the city collapse as you attack
Get your shit, put it back, get your best shot
Don’t you dare be afraid, no one else is
Point it up, hit his head, feel your heartbeat
Hold it up, the next one, someone’s family
Carry on, it’s your job
It’s your duty
As the echoes fade and silence begins to rise, “What Once Was” brings the journey to its quiet end. It’s a moment to breathe, to look back at every sound and emotion that shaped the path. What remains is not the past itself, but the feeling of having lived it — one last reflection before the memories drift away.
