I leave today
Already said my goodbyes
Heartfelt embraces, teary eyes
Time to conclude this chapter
Time to drive...
Driving faster in my car
The wait is not too long
It’s further, beyond…from just afar
So heavy, my soul's worn thin…
A new lease on life, I’ve been bleedin’
I’ll become a ghost, the horse with no name
A horse with no name
Time to find a place…
I’ll embrace what’s beyond my eyes
Movin’ west, high on life, I’ll enjoy this a little more
Won’t let these feelings die
Driving faster in my car
The wait is not too long
It’s further, beyond…from just afar
So heavy, my soul's worn thin…
A new lease on life, I’ve been bleedin’
I’ll become a ghost, the horse with no name

Hello and go…
Go as you are
As you were
Chase your dreams
Just beyond the way...
Go as you are
As you were
Chase your dreams
Don’t let them slip away…
I’ve got to go…
Go as you are
As you were
Chase your dreams
Don’t let them slip away…
Hello and go…

I see…
I see the devil, I see the devil in disguise
Magnetized me, hooked me in with her eyes
My, my my… what a ravishing sight
My, my my… she might eat me alive
Under the spotlight, the full moon hangs, our hearts wander ambiently…
What lies ahead this autumn night?
United by sorrow, we ease right in, sailing like the whipping river tides
Satin sheets, spirits and wine, a scarlet light
I feel…
Don’t need a bible, salvation, I’ll just look in your eyes
Overloading… I’ll slide my horn inside
Ride, ride, ride… until the night in us dies
Mine, mine, mine… your tasty flesh and lovely soul is mine
Under the spotlight, the wolf moon hangs, our hearts wander ambiently…
What lies ahead this autumn night?
United by sorrow, we ease right in, sailing like the whipping river tides
Satin sheets, spirits and wine, a scarlet light
A fire erupts, the warmth within, indulging ourselves with skin-on-skin
Let our pheromones surge and flow
Our hearts pulsing, we’ve hit the right beat,
A goddess in my arms, she years for more and more
How can I say no?

A good dream is hard to find…
A real dream consumes your mind…
Across this country, from coast to coast
A new lease on life is what I needed the most…
Hell yeah…
Days passing by, days passing by, no opportunities arise
Life’s passing by, life’s passing by and I’ve… gotta go
Days passing by, days passing by, no opportunities arise
And I’ve… I’ve gotta go and catch that drift
Feelin’ free
I’m feelin’ free and lovin’ the breeze
Days passing by, days passing by, no opportunities arise
Life’s passing by, life’s passing by and I’ve… gotta go
Days passing by, days passing by, no opportunities arise
And I’ve… I’ve gotta go and catch that drift
Morphine dreams, morphine dreams, takin’ a trip, I want to see
I’ve gotta let it all go… float my burdens into the sea
Morphine dreams, morphine dreams
It’s now or never, do or die, and I… gotta say it’s been a helluva ride

I’m damaged beyond repair
Maybe one day, I’ll be whole again
Lost… in… you…
You guided me through with your loving eyes
Those times we shared… continue to be
They wither in my heart, my cadaver lays here cold and still…
I’ll wait for the sun to shine
The breath of death continues to soothe
This numbing, is this peace come to fruition
Lost… in… you…
You guided me through with your loving eyes
And the memories of our past together
Will continue to last, well beyond our time
Grief perseveres as love is unexpressed
It’s a pain ever-growing throughout my time here on earth
It’ll all end one day, hopefully sometime soon
The kindness you once gave, saved me, even if only for a moment or two
I’ll wither away in rays of light

I want your (sext) Into your home, you guide me inside
I want your (lust) Your warmth intoxicating, so invi-ting
I want your (sex) We slip-and-slide, I’ll bring you to the light
I want your (love) Can’t catch your breath? shaking at the knees
I want your (sext) You sweat, shake and moan
I want your (lust) You call me daddy when we’re alone
I want your (sex) Going beyond, please thee ’til you’ve had your fill
I want your (love) Should we crescendo these movements together?
come on…
cum…for me…
I want your (sext) Let’s go round and round
I want your (lust) Let’s not stop ’til we hit the ground
I want your (sex) If this is all we have, just one night
I want your (love) I want to give you endless sinful delight
I want your (sext) Let’s go round and round
I want your (lust) Let’s not stop ’til we hit the ground
I want your (sex) If this is all we have, just one night
I want your (love) I want to give you endless sinful delight
I want you

Once said… that her love for me, would never die…
I believed, intrinsically and went along for the ride…
Devotion comes as a cost
You’ll learn the searing bites of the frost
No refund, there’s the door…
When love turns to stone
The heart inside will fight until
In time, I’ve come to terms
It's always been my destiny
Life moved on and I found a new flame
Not for someone else
A new life, for me
Don’t worry, I’ve got more to tell
At the core of darkness, a story of hell
Vindication in many ways, appears in many ways…
In the shadows of love and light
The tortured, the poor, they weep, they scream
...and you can feel
It's always been our destiny
Gonna live my life, gonna take my time…
Sometimes all it takes… is just one drive
Now I live my life for me (my soul is stained)
Now I live my life for me (imprison the pain)
Now I live my life for me (sunlight embracing)
Now I live my life for me (sunsets enchanting)
Now I live my life for me (never more alive)
Now I live my life for me (glad I changed my mind)
Now I live my life for me (never more alive)
Now I live my life for me (grateful I survived)
Now I live my life for me…

Ambience in the stars
Oh, how they shine bright
Life Illuminated
Reflections, in your eyes
Animate the dead of night
Elegance, skies glisten above
Oh, how the galaxies inspire
Thoughts cultivated
From deep inside, they're now alive
Dawning onto our world
Cherish our mourning earth
Oh, how she's cradled us all
Surviving, there's so much more to be
Existence
I'll submit to it's infinite grace
Lurking, the abyss of time
I'll embrace her guiding hand
Ascending, beyond our sorrows
The universe sees, endlessly
Let the love inside breathe
Find your way
Find your way
Find yourself
Find your peace
synopsis

press
“This album is art in the purest sense, an honest and complete reflection of the artist’s soul. Excellent, excellent, excellent.” 9/10 Laura Barnes • EVER METAL (U.K.)
“The maturity of a musician who reinvents himself without losing his characteristic handwriting. The album oscillates between melancholic contemplation and optimistic departure - just like the facets of a long journey. JoeyDiabolic reveals himself as an artist brave enough to push his musical boundaries. This album is an ode to the unpredictable, daring to try new things while staying true to yourself.” 9/10 AM:PLIFIED (GERMANY)
“Well, this is quite a tone-shift for JoeyDiabolic and it sure will cause some debate amongst fans. Many will love it, some may loathe it, but one thing everyone will be able to agree on is that it encapsulates the creative force that is JoeyDiabolic. Expect the unexpected and appreciate an artist that is as imaginative as JoeyDiabolic is.” 8/10 Carl Fisher • GBHBL (Games, Brains and a Head-Banging Life - U.K.)
“The perfect soundtrack to put on for a long reflective drive.” Jon Barbas • METAL DIGEST (GERMANY)
