Avenged Sevenfold (often abbreviated A7X) is an American heavy metal band from Huntington Beach, California. Formed in 1999, the group consists of M. Shadows (vocalist), Synyster Gates (lead guitarist), Zacky Vengeance (rhythm guitarist), and Johnny Christ (bassist).
They are known for their diverse rock sound and dramatic imagery in album covers and t-shirts. Avenged Sevenfold emerged with a metalcore sound on their debut Sounding the Seventh Trumpet but their style had evolved by their third album and first major label release, City of Evil into a hard rock/heavy metal sound. The band continued to explore new sounds with their self-titled release and enjoyed continued mainstream success before their drummer, James "The Rev" Sullivan, died in 2009. Despite his death, the band continued on with help of now-former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy and released and toured in support of their fifth album Nightmare in 2010 which debuted on the top spot of the Billboard 200, their first number one debut.
With this ink in our skin, we've sealed our fate
And the axe comes early
(Only naturally)
So what does that matter?
There's a bed of skeletons waiting for me
On the other side
They're waiting for my next move
(Next fatal breath)
Human lives to me seem so unreal, can't see through the fog
(Nothing past a gray wall)
See past the stereotype
Belief, structure built up in you
I'll tear you down and the one who created you
If they didn't have one how would they act?
If we didn't have hope how would we behave?
Would they still feel remorse if they slaughtered innocent beings
Or is hope the only thing that keeps you sane?
A good friend once told me we are our memory
Without it we equal nothing
And all I can see is the place I wanna be
Suddenly my life was so free
Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground
Their echoes are reaching my ears
Nights coming fast, suns going down
But keep away from me, keep away from me
(It's hard to keep me in this place, keep away from me)
We may have created the beginning, mentally
We may have created the beginning, physically
To the end of our human existence
I see through you
The fear that's in your eyes
A good friend once told me we are our memory
Without it we equal nothing
And all I can see is the place I wanna be
Timeless my life was so free
Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground
Their echoes are reaching my ears
Nights coming fast, suns going down, confused
Two nights ago I was shot
A bullet sunk straight through my skull
A friend pulled the trigger that silenced me
No pain as I awoke, but dead
Seeing the face of the man
The time as he lay down his gun
I knew this was going to take place
White silence, so peaceful, so numb
No one knows the time they're changing
No one will see through
You're all gone to me, gone to me
I've been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep
Intuition and a warning to believe I will believe
Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay
Moving on seemed to be somber bliss
Without one goodbye I watch my mother shed tears
No this gun has stopped time in its tracks
Has altered the course of my fate
Destiny is shattered and timeless
Closed eyes feel the cold winds embrace
I'll watch you call, calling for me
You can't bring back time
Close your eyes and look away
Fate exposed and won't let me stay
Hope will fall tonight with broken wings
Descending entity in me
My voice has been taken from me
The more I listen, the more I'll have to say
You're all gone to me, gone to me
I've been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep
Intuition and a warning to believe I will believe
Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay
Moving on seemed to be somber bliss
Without one goodbye I watch my mother shed tears
And taste the blood she cries, and taste the blood she cries
I'll watch you call, calling for me
You can't bring back time
Close your eyes and look away
Fate exposed and won't let me stay
Hope will fall tonight with broken wings
Give me your hand, blood is split and man will follow
(Conceived and born was one of light)
Infernal man, punishment too great to bear
(Rain and dark, the other born black night)
Raise your head and taste the courage
(The one of the light)
Fall from grace, unholy night
I've come here to kill you, won't leave until you've died
Murder born of vengeance, I closed my brothers eyes tonight
Give me your hand, blood is split and man will follow
(Conceived and born was one of light)
Infernal man, punishment too great to bear
(Rain and dark, the other born black night)
Raise your head and taste the courage
(The one of the light)
Fall from grace, unholy night
I've come here to kill you, won't leave until you've died
Murder born of vengeance, I closed my brothers eyes tonight
It's cold tonight as the clouds turn gray
And from my hands to my brothers grave
You took his side, you took his gift
Feel the power of a fallen man, crestfallen man
Far away in this land I must go, out of the site of the One
A punishment sent from His hand a hardship that no one should know
Now go out of the site of the One, away in this land you must go
Where has he gone? What have you done?
A voice commands from high above this earth
From the soil his blood cries out to me
Murder, liar, vengeance, deceit
(Far away in this land I must go, out of the site of the One
A punishment sent from His hand a hardship that no one should know
Slit my wrists, take away the pain.
Slit my throat, everyone's to blame.
Lost in the fields of confusion.
Restless nights, they're not far away.
I came here for something and I'm not turning back.
A calm piece of mind but you still hold my keys.
Keeping my fate deep within your threshold.
Petty inconvenience but it means the world to me.
You have the power.
To set me free.
Caught in your grasp, how?
Just let me be.
Give me control out.
Out of these depths.
A fiery hell.
I pray for death.
I've been the wrong one time and time again.
Now I'm on my knees forgive me please.
Tore out my heart and handed to me on a silver platter.
Sew up the hole, emptiness in the place of compassion.
You made me this way.
I am the product of your creation.
Look the other way.
Now you've turned your back on me.
You've turned away from me, the future's much to far away to see.
I hope you learn the truth,
Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence
One step from lashing out at you...
You want in to get under my skin
And call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you
What do I do?
[Pre]
Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been
Belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time
[Chorus]
Respect, walk
Run your mouth when I'm not around
It's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can you hear the violins playing your song?
Those same friends tell me your every word
[Pre]
[Chorus]
Are you talking to me?
Hey kid, do I have your attention?
I know the way you've been living
Life's so reckless, tragedy endless
Welcome to the family
Hey, there's something missing
Only time will alter your vision
Never in question, lethal injection
Welcome to the family
Not long ago you'd find the answers
Were so crystal clear
Within a day you find yourself
Living in constant fear
Can you look at yourself now?
Can you look at yourself?
You can't win this fight
In a way it seems
There's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
And our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight
Hey, I have to question
What's with the violent aggression?
Details blurry, lost him too early
Welcome to the family
Hey, why won't you listen?
Can't help the people you're missing
It's been done, a casualty rerun
Welcome to the family
I try and help you with the things
That can't be justified
I need to warn you
That there is no way to rationalize
So have you figured it out now?
So have you figured it out?
You can't win this fight
In a way it seems
There's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
And our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight
We're here for you and all mankind
I've lost my mind
Psychotic, I'm in dementia
I won't be fine
I see your escape has been dethroned
Cast out in a world you'll never know
Stand there, place your weapons by your side
It's our war, in the end we'll surely lose
But that's all right
So have you figured it out now?
So have you figured it out?
And in a way it seems
There's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
And our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight
Deep inside where nothing's fine
I've lost my mind
You're not invited so step aside
I've lost my
Deep inside where nothing's fine
I've lost my mind
You're not invited so step aside
Unwind The Chainsaw - Avenged Sevenfold
(Unreleased Track)
This one break your heart.
But I just think it could,
Cause I haven't tried as hard as I should.
To separate you,
From everything I do.
But I would never want a come between us two...
(Chorus)
I keep your memories which,
You won't feel bad about me.
I'll say the things that you said,
Sometimes a with reminds me.
I keep your memories which,
You won't feel bad about me.
I'll say the things that you said,
Sometimes a with reminds me.
Now I'm thinking back,
To what I said before.
I hope your heart won't have to heard anymore.
Cause its really not that sad, from here,
Because the moments I can feel you near.
They keep you close to me my dear.
And if they ever become to clear.
(Chorus)
I keep your memories which,
You won't feel bad about me.
I'll say the things that you said,
Sometimes a with reminds me.
I keep your memories which,
You won't feel bad about me.
I'll say the things that you said,
Sometimes a with reminds me.
Now you're gone away,
Don't long, leave its okay!
But you're gone away.
Now you're gone away,
Farther than yesterday.
But you never leave me,
Seems my mind replace.
(Chorus)
I keep your memories which,
You won't feel bad about me.
I'll say the things that you said,
Sometimes a with reminds me.
I keep your memories which,
You won't feel bad about me.
I'll say the things that you said,
House full of roses, a letter on the stairs
A tape full of messages for anyone who cares
Collage of broken words, and stories full of tears
Remembering your life cause we wish you were here
Nothing is harder than to wake up all alone
Realize its not okay, its the end of all you've known
Time keeps passing by but it seems I'm frozen still
Scars are left behind but some too deep to feel
And some say this can't be real
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
We're all just victims of a crime
When all's gone and can't be regained
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
We're all just victims of a crime
Some days you'll find me in a place I like to go
Ask questions to myself bout the things I'll never know
Whats left here to find cause I need a little more
I need a little time, can we even up the score?
And some say this can't be real
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
We're all just victims of a crime
When all's gone and can't be regained
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
We're all just victims of a crime
Well nothing lasts forREVer for all good things its true
I'd rather trade it all while somehow saving you
It must have been the season that threw us out of line
Once I stood so tall, now I'm searching for a sign
So don't need your salvation with promises unkind
And all the speculations, save it for another time
Cause we all need a reason, a reason just to stay
And some just cant be bothered to stick around another day
And some say this can't be real
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
We've all been victims of a crime
When all is gone and can't be regained
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
We've all been victims of a crime
Victims of a crime
Living with this crime
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
Some people live that selfish desire
Some choose to shout when they speak and they'll be the start
Caught in the flame of those deep in fire
Seeking out those with a voice
One for tomorrow
They say we've lost our minds, we've just gained control
Search endlessly, fight till we're free
Fly past the edge of the sea
No bend in me, no mockery,
Somehow we still carry on
(fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear)
Silence your fear, we've got to move higher,
High like the stars in the sky
Guiding us all
Battle the will of those who consá¹—ire,
Take back the passion to live, vanish the sorrow
Destroys their perfect crime, watch the power fold
Search endlessly, fight till we're free
Fly past the edge of the sea
No bend in me, no mockery,
Somehow we still carry on
Search endlessly, fight till we're free
Fly past the edge of the sea
No bend in me, no mockery,
Somehow we still carry on
Take the time just to listen
When the voices screamin' are much to loud
Take a look in the distance
Try and see it all
Chances are that ya might find
That we share a common DISCOMFORT NOW
I feel I'm walking a fine line
Tell me only if it's real
Still I'm on my way
(On and on it goes)
Vacant hope to take
[Chorus]
HEY I CAN'T LIVE IN HERE FOR ANOTHER DAY
DARKNESS HAS KEPT THE LIGHT CONCEALED
GRIM AS EVER
HOLD ON TO FAITH AS I DIG ANOTHER GRAVE
MEANWHILE THE MICE ENDURE THE WHEEL
Real as ever
And it seems I've been BURIED ALIVE!!!
I walked the fields through the fire
Taking steps until I found solid ground
Followed dreams reaching higher
Couldn't survive the fall
Much has changed since the last time
And I feel a little less certain now
You know I jumped at the first sign
Tell me only if it's real
Memories seem to fade
(On and on it goes)
Wash my view away
[Chorus]
HEY I CAN'T LIVE IN HERE FOR ANOTHER DAY
DARKNESS HAS KEPT THE LIGHT CONCEALED
GRIM AS EVER
HOLD ON TO FAITH AS I DIG ANOTHER GRAVE
MEANWHILE THE MICE ENDURE THE WHEEL
REAL AS EVER
And I'm chained like a slave
Trapped in the dark
Slammed all the locks
Death calls my name
And it seems I've been BURIED ALIVE
Take you down now
Burn it all out
Throw you all around
Get you're fuckin' HANDS OFF ME
What's it feel like?
Took the wrong route
Watch it fall apart
Now you're knockin' AT THE WRONG GATE
For you to pay the toll
A price for you alone
The only deal you'll find
I'll gladly take your soul
While it seems sick
Sober up quick
Psycho lunatic
Crushing you with HANDS OF FATE
Shame to find out when it's too late
But you're all the same
Trapped inside INFERNO AWAITS
Evil thoughts can hide
I'll help release the mind
I'll peel away the skin
Release the dark within
THIS IS NOW YOUR LIFE
STRIKE YOU FROM THE LIGHT
THIS IS NOW YOUR LIFE
DIE BURIED ALIVE [X2]
THIS IS NOW YOUR LIFE
(Out of time)
Doc, I'm dying, I'm feeling compromised
(Feeling compromised)
And so dehumanized
(And so dehumanized)
I lost my final fight to disease
I feel that this is where it ends
I need that shot to enter my vein
My Brompton cocktail blend
?Cause I can't feel my face
I won't struggle on
In a world so cold
In a world so wrong
I'm not running away, been fighting this so long
(So long)
Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong in a lie
I'm tired, induced euphoria
(Induced euphoria)
To help me move along
(Help me move along)
I wanna meet my maker in peace
I want to feel alive again
So put that smile back on my face
And mix it strong, my friend
?Cause I can't feel my face
I won't struggle on
In a world so cold
In a world so wrong
I'm not running away, been fighting this so long
(So long)
Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong
And I take my life tonight ?cause I have the right to die how I wanna
And leave how I arrived, so alive
I believe my sins have been forgiven
And I believe my choice will save me from this life
Please don't question why my sins have been forgotten
I believe I'll find peace in afterlife
Please don't question why I left this way
?Cause I can't feel my face
I won't struggle on
In a world so cold
In a world so wrong
I'm not running away, been fighting this so long
(So long)
Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong
And I take my life tonight ?cause I have the right to die how I wanna
And leave how I arrived, so alive
I've been traveling for so long
So lost ?till I stumbled upon
Two roads in front of me
I've got to take my time
To the right I could see a church
I took a step in that direction first
But to the left there was a watering hole
Where they were whiskey drunk
And now that's where I wanna pray
The fight down here goes on and on
If I was perfect then this would be easy
Either road's plausible on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult but now I can see
There's gotta be another way to go
A way that's much more feasible
A combination of all these lives
A central path without choosing a side
I make decisions one at a time
And no I never say I'm always right
I'm confident that when I stand on my own
You'll see the truest form of a man
When I'm shining through
The fight down here goes on and on
If I was perfect then this would be easy
Either road's plausible on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult but now I can see
Oh, I hear them now
All the religious rhymes
(Anger I see, anger I see, anger I see now)
The left isn't better
It's just more of the same
Condemning all these people
For what they believe
I climb to the top of that mountain again
[Incomprehensible]
And the closer to the top I get
The more they take aim but I'm not you
I may not be perfect but I've always been true
I may not be worthy in your eyes
Climb up from the bottom for the last time
The last one, the last one, the last time
If I was perfect then this would be easy
Either road's plausible on both I could drown
I walk through the center with no rules to guide me
(Quiet, might piss somebody off)
Like me motherfucker you?ve been at it for too long
While you feed off all those insecurities
You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds
Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
I?ll bleed but not for fellow man
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)
Telling them it?s all for something real
Don?t respect the words you?re speaking
Gone too far, acclaim
So, how does it feel to know that
Someone?s kid in the heart of America has blood on their hands
Fighting to defend your rights so you can maintain the lifestyle
That insults his family?s existence?
Well, where I'm from we have a special salute
We wave high in the air towards all those pompous asses
Who spend their days pointing fingers
(Fuck you)
(Quiet, might piss somebody off)
Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long
I?ll be damned if you count me in as part of your
Generous hypocrisy, collected in a maze
Tabloid gossip we want less real
(There?s no need for us to bury you)
Selfish agenda once again
(Right this way, you dug your own grave)
Telling them it?s all for something real
Don?t respect the words you?re speaking
Gone too far, acclaim
All the way from the east to the west
We got this high society looking down on their very foundation
Constantly reminding us that our actions
Are the cause of all their problems
Pointing their fingers in every direction
Blaming their own nation for who wins elections
They never contributed a fucking thing
To the country they love to criticize
Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue
Depictions we see, try and get through
And many mistakes can hurt
I?m not the last but I sure ain?t the first
(Quiet, might piss somebody off)
Self righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
I?ll bleed but not for fellow man
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)
Telling them it?s all for something real
Don?t respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far, acclaim
My sixteen, locked and loaded, all fear has been avoided
You say the words and my weapon is drawn
This one could be my last time, some people call it war crime
I may be staring at a lethal sight to die
Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering, a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line
I do this for my family, my daughter loves her daddy
Too many talk down on things they don't know
With colors never faded, reckless and unabated
They may take me but never take us all, I'll crawl
Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering, a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line
I know what you're thinking, I've been there before
So think of the times, the time we spent laughing away
So think of the times at home, life without a care
Now I find myself in my own blood
(Never thought I'd lay in my own blood)
The damage done is far beyond repair
I never put my faith in up above
(Never had much faith in up above)
But now I'm hoping someone's there
Never meant to leave this world alone
I never meant to hurt the ones who cared
And though this time I thought we'd just grow old
You know, no one said it's fair
Tell my baby girl that it's alright
I've sung my last song today
Remind the Lord to leave His light on for me
Dead men, they celebrate
As the final chapter fades away
'Cause they can't hide
We can see their flesh is rotten
The band plays a hopeful tune
The champagne is poured as they socialize
But look in their eyes, hide in the light!
Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancing in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax, enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancing in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change, told 'em to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'm in a room watching the
Dead dancing in their graves
Bones covered up by suits
As the visible scars, they multiply
Kiss it goodbye
I'm too stubborn and I will destroy
Tick, tock, the time bomb has been
Recognized and pressurized
Nowhere to hide
Swallowing light
Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancing in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax, enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancing in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change, told 'em to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'm in a room watching the
Dead dancing in their graves
I feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancing in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax, enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancing in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change, told 'em to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'm in a room watching the
Dead dancing in their graves
Feel, feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change
Feel, feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change
Feel, feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change
Feel, feel a coming strength
I've been thinking lots about my life and
How quick I'd wash it down the drain
Past tense the future, nothing matters now
I act on my own and I'm to blame
Living is a wicked dream, when things turn out all wrong
Were all so weak, no matter how strong, yeah
I tried running away from me
Convince me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally, Demons they follow me
I quit running away from me
Convinced that I have grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me
I don't like that you're calling me a liar
I don't like that you found out I'm a snake
Been sneaking around for far too long now
I don't like how fast my intentions fade
Karma has beat me down, but the worst is yet to come
Many mistakes and still I'm so young, yeah
I tried running away from me
Convince me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally, Demons they follow me
I quit running away from me
Convinced that I have grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me
I can't
Count how many times
Awakened in fear, nightly
Palms sweating
Dreams
Where promises are made
To no one but myself
Help him
Crushed daily
Don't lend me your hand
I can't trust my self
So how can you trust me
We've all made selfish, bad decisions
We've all tried dishing out the blame
Convinced our selves of our own actions
My problem is I'll never change
In doubt, some good comes out
I'll fold before it's time
Can't promise you that it's my last time, yeah
I tried running away from me
Convince me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally, Demons they follow me
I quit running away from me
Convinced that I had grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me
Truth won't help you now
All the loves gone too far
Truth won't help you now
All the loves gone too far
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons they follow me, 'cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons they follow me, 'cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons they follow me, 'cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah
A lonely road crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there, back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
?Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again, oh no, once again
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps and all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah
Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
?Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again, oh no, once again
Well, some search never finding a way
Before long they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold when hope begins to fade
A lonely road crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find
Dear God, the only thing I ask of You
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
(Iron Maiden Cover)
As a young boy chasing dragons with your wooden sword so mighty,
You're St. George or you're David and you always killed the beast.
Times change very quickly,
and you had to grow up early,
A house in smoking ruins and the bodies at your feet.
CHORUS
You'll die as you lived
In a flash of the blade,
In a corner, forgotten by no one.
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
One man, and his honor.
The smell of resined leather
The steely iron mask
As you cut and thrust and parried at the fencing master's call.
He taught you all he ever knew
To fear no mortal man
and now you'll wreak your vengeance in the
Screams of evil men.
Now I think I understand
How this world can overcome a man
Like a friend we saw it through
In the end I gave my life for you
Gave you all I had to give
Found a place for me to rest my head
While I may be hard to find
Heard there's peace just on the other side
Not that I could or that I would
Let it burn under my skin, let it burn
Let this life just set me free
Took a piece of you inside of me
All this hurt can finally fade
Promise me you'll never feel afraid
Not that I could or that I would
Let it burn under my skin, let it burn
I hope it's worth it
Here on the highway, yeah
I know you'll find your own way
When I'm not with you
So tell everybody
The ones who walk beside me, yeah
I hope you'll find your own way
When I'm not with you tonight
I hope it's worth it
What's left behind me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way
When I'm not with you
So tell everybody
The ones who walk beside me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way
Staring at the carnage
Praying that the sun would never rise
Living another day in disguise
These feelings can't be right
Lend me your courage to stand up and fight on tonight
Stand up and fight
Now fighting rages on and on
To challenge me, you must be strong
I walk your land but don't belong
Two million soldiers can't be wrong
It's no fun but I've been here before
I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war
Not the way I pictured this
I wanted better things
Some are scared, others killing for fun
I shot a mother right in front of her son
Take this from my consciousness
And please erase my dreams
Fight for honor, fight for your life
Pray to God that our side is right
Know we won, I still may lose
Until I make it home to you
I see our mothers filled with tears
Grew up so fast, where did those years go?
Memories won't let you cry
Unless I don't return tonight
So many soldiers on the other side
I take their lives so they can't take mine
Scared to make it out alive now
Murder's all I know
Nobody tells me all the reasons we're here
I have my weapon, so there's nothing to fear
Another day, another life
But nothing real to show for
Fight for honor, fight for your life
Pray to God that our side is right
Know we won, I still may lose
Until I make it home to you
I see our mothers filled with tears
Grew up so fast, where did those years go?
Memories won't let you cry
Unless I don't return tonight
Staring at the carnage
Praying that the sun would never rise
Living another day in disguise
These feelings can't be right
Lend me your courage, stand up and fight
Watching the death toll rise
Wondering how I'm alive
Stranger's blood on my hands, shot all I can
There were no silent nights
Watching your brothers all die
To destroy all their plans with no thought of me
No thought of me, no thought of me
Walk the city lonely
Memories that haunt are passing by
A murderer walks your streets tonight
Forgive me for my crimes
Don't forget that I was so young
Fought so scared in the name of God and country
He who makes a beast out of himself
Gets rid of the pain of being a man
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay
I tried to drive all through the night
The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights
No oasis here to see
The sand is singing deathless words to me
Can't you help me? As I'm startin' to burn
(All alone)
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own
(All alone)
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention
As I adjust to my new sights
The rarely tired lights will take me to new heights
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right
Mental fiction follow me
Show me what it's like to be set free
Can't you help me? As I'm startin' to burn
(All alone)
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own
(All alone)
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention
I'm sorry you're not here
I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear
Now take a trip with me
But don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay
These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today
Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die
We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by
Don't want your absolution 'cause I can't make it right
I'll make a beast out of myself
Gets rid of all the pain of being a man
Can't you help me? As I'm startin' to burn
(All alone)
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own
(All alone)
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention
I'm sorry you're not here
I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear
Now take a trip with me
But don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem
I've known it from the start
All these good ideas will tear your brain apart
Scared but you, you follow me
So much time I've wasted.
I can truly say I never thought it would come to this.
Never would I doubt you, but the truth kept smacking me in the face.
Reality. You never stopped to think and you ripped us apart.
How could you? Now our time is gone but it's still breaking my heart.
Tears run down as I think of the days we've had,
and the memories will last forever,
but you and I have died and gone our separate ways.
You are the one.
You are the wrong one.
Breaking the mold.
Going your own way.
All I feel, betrayal.
So much time I've wasted, and I never thought it'd come to this.
Apology.
We had something great, then it was washed away.
We had something more, then I can explain.
I'm sorry. No! We had something great, then it was washed away.
No! Not all friendships last, the genuine are harder to take.
No! Time to start again, hope someday you'll think of me.
This shining city built of gold
A far cry from innocence
There's more than meets the eye 'round here
Look to the waters of the deep
A city of evil
There sat a seven-headed beast
Ten horns raised from his head
Symbolic woman sits on his throne
But hatred strips her and leaves her naked
The beast and the harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
The city dressed in jewels and gold
Fine linen, myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will come all at once
As her mourners watch her burn
Destroyed in an hour
Merchants and captains of the world
Sailors navigators too
Will weep and mourn this loss
With her sins piled to the sky
The beast and the harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
The day has come for all us sinners
If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground
Flee the burning, greedy city
Looking back on her to see there's nothin' around
I don't believe in fairy tales and no one wants to go to Hell
We've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us
Your welcome to the city where your future is set forever
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the great
Your hazel-green tint eyes watching every move I make
And that feeling of doubt, it's erased
I'll never feel alone again with you by my side
You're the one and in you I confide
And we have gone through good and bad times
But your unconditional love was always on my mind
You've been there from the start for me
And your love's always been true as can be
I give my heart to you
I give my heart 'cause nothing
Can compare in this world to you
And we have gone through good and bad times
But your unconditional love was always on my mind
You've been there from the start for me
And your love's always been true as can be
I give my heart to you
I give my heart 'cause nothing
Can compare in this world to you
I give my heart to you
I give my heart 'cause nothing
Seize the day or die
Regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over
I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These streets we travel on
Will undergo our same lost past
I found you here
Now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life
But will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile
Holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come
But I don't want to leave you
I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory
Or just one picture
Seize the day or die
Regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over
Newborn life replacing all of us
Changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here
So where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight
Follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if
There is no eternal life?
I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory
Or just one picture
Seize the day or die
Regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone
Without you here, please tell me
What we have is real
So, what if I never hold you, yeah
Or kiss your lips again?
So I never want to leave you
And the memories of us to see
I beg don't leave me
Seize the day or die
Regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here
Too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone
Without you here, please tell me
What we have is real
Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day
Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day
Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day
Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day
Silence, you lost me
No chance for one more day
Silence, you lost me
Like walking into a dream
So unlike what you've seen
So unsure but it seems
'Cause we?ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay
You'll be back here soon anyway
I see a distant light
But girl, this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see
So how did this come to be, arrived too early?
And when I think of all the places
I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life
And realize this is going too far
I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
?Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here
A place of hope and no pain
Perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain
'Cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay
You'll be back here soon anyway
This peace on earth's not right
(With my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time
(I?m much too young to fall)
So out of place don't wanna stay
I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind
Give me your hand
But realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave
And carry on my own life
I don't belong here, I gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
?Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here
Got nothing against you
And surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I?d hope you might
Take me back inside when the time is right
Loved ones back home all crying
'Cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God
That there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken, I?m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord, I'll try so hard but You gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)
I don't belong here, I gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
?Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here
Got nothing against you
And surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I?d hope you might
Take me back inside when the time is right
I feel insane every single time
I'm asked to compromise
?Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways
And that?s the way it stays
So how long did I expect
Love to outweigh ignorance?
By that look on your face
I may have forced the scale to tip
I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I?m not, not insane
(I'm not)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Set it off)
Come back again, it's almost easy
Shame pulses through my heart
From the things I've done to you
It's hard to face but the fact remains
That this is nothing new
I left you bound and tied
With suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin
But deep inside I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I?m not, not insane
(I'm not)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Set it off)
Come back again, it's almost easy
(You learned your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(It's still your fault)
Come back again, it's almost easy
Now that I've lost you, it kills me to say
(Hurts to say)
I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away
I'm losing the fight, I've treated you so wrong
Now let me make it right
(Make it all right)
I'm not insane, I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I?m not, not insane
(I'm not)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(Set it off)
Come back again, it's almost easy
(You learned your lesson)
Come back to me, it's almost easy
(It's still your fault)
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say,
There's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away.
There's a place where nothing seems to be a simple night of easy love
It's all your mind, all your mind
! Something little shouldn't feel this way, We got a million thoughts we can't complain
It's all your love, all your love!
It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away.
These things don't happen here; another fictional reality
It's all your mind; all your mind!
It's just as good as any other day, I'm gonna teach you about mortality
Now it's not right, it's not right!
It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away.
In many ways I guess I'll never let you go
I'm close behind but I'm a lot more roomier than most
I took my second chance, just enjoy the dance, and found out who we are
Let's find out what we are, never leave asking why.
It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
Before the story begins, is it such a sin
For me to take what's mine until the end of time?
We were more than friends before the story ends
And I will take what's mine, create what God would never design
Our love had been so strong for far too long
I was weak with fear that something would go wrong
Before the possibilities came true I took all possibility from you
Almost laughed myself to tears, conjuring her deepest fears
Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times
I can't believe it
Ripped her heart out right before her eyes
Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it
She was never this good in bed even when she was sleeping
Now she's just so perfect, I've never been quite so fucking deep in
It goes on and on, and on, I can keep you looking young
And preserved forever with a fountain to spray on your youth whenever
?Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time but bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun, baby don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
?Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart, let's make a new start
?Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, but baby, don't cry
Now possibilities I'd never considered
Are occurring the likes of which I'd never heard
Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave
To repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved
Smiling right from ear to ear
Almost laughed herself to tears
Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times
I can't believe it
Ripped his heart out right before his eyes
Eyes over easy, eat it, eat it, eat it
Now that it's done, I realize the error of my ways
I must venture back to apologize
From somewhere far beyond the grave
I gotta make up for what I've done
?Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven
While you burned in hell, no peace forever
?Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time but bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun but baby, don't cry
You had my heart at least for the most part
?Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart, let?s make a new start
?Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, but baby, don't cry
I will suffer for so long
(What will you do, not long enough?)
To make it up to you
(I pray to God that you do)
I'll do whatever you want me to do
(Well then I?ll break you unchained)
And if it's not enough
(If it?s not enough, if it?s not enough)
If it's not enough
(Not enough)
Try again
(Try again)
And again
(And again)
Over and over again
We?re coming back, coming back
We?ll live forever, live forever
Let?s have a wedding, have a wedding
Let?s start the killing, start the killing
?Cause I really always knew that my little crime
Would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
And I know, I know it's not your time but bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
You think it's over but it's just begun but baby, don't cry
You had my heart at least for the most part
?Cause everybody's gotta die sometime
We fell apart, let?s make a new start
?Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, but baby, don't cry
Some people live that selfish desire
Some choose to shout when they speak and they'll be the start
Caught in the flame of those deep in fire
Seeking out those with a voice
One for tomorrow
They say we've lost our minds, we've just gained control
Search endlessly, fight till we're free
Fly past the edge of the sea
No bended knee, no mockery,
Somehow we still carry on
Silence your fear, we've got to move higher,
High like the stars in the sky
Guiding us all
Battle the will of those who conspire,
Take back the passion to live, vanish the sorrow
Destroys their perfect crime, watch the power fold
Search endlessly, fight till we're free
Fly past the edge of the sea
No bended knee, no mockery,
Somehow we still carry on
Search endlessly, fight till we're free
Fly past the edge of the sea
No bended knee, no mockery,
With this ink in my skin we've sealed our fate,
and the axe comes early
(only naturally) So what does that matter?
There's a bed of skeletons waiting for me,
on the other side
They're waiting for my next move (next fatal breath)
Human lives to me seem so unreal, can't see through the fog
(nothing past a grey wall) see past the stereotype
Belief, structure built up in you.
I'll tear you down and the one who created you
If they didn't have One how would they act?
If we didn't have hope how would we behave?
Would they still feel remorse
if they slaughtered innocent beings?
Or is hope the only thing that keeps you sane?
A good friend once told me you are memory
without them we equal nothing
And all I can see is the place I wanna be
Suddenly my life was so free
Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground
their echoes are reaching my ears
Night's coming fast, suns going down
But keep away from me...
Keep away from me [x4]
(It's hard, to keep me in this place, keep away from me)
We may have created the beginning, mentally
We may have created the beginning, physically
To the end of our human existence...
I see through you
The fear that's in your eyes
A good friend once told me we are memory
Without them we equal nothing
And all I can see is the place I wanna be
Timeless my life was so free
Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground
their echoes are reaching my ears
Nights coming fast, suns going down - confused
Can't pretend that you're nothing special
You've got to look at all of your options
You can't decide what to go for
When it's all about trust
Its all about trust
You see yourself on the TV
You read your magazine
You can't explain how it's come to be this
Stop and think...
When it's all about trust
Its all about trust
THIS COVERAGE, your center spread
YOUR NEON LIGHT DAYDREAM will
Shatter and break
AND IF YOU THINK I'M THINKING OF
YOU'RE VALUE HERE
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S
YOURE THE ONE WHOS
LOSING CONTROL
This eventual stop, this break in the mould
I scream down this hotline
Just to feel something
This eventual stop, this break in the mould
I scream down this hotline
Just to feel something
THIS SITUATION isn't getting any better
I SEE THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES (that look in your eyes)
YOU WANT TO SEE A PRETTY FACE?
There isn't anything wrong with giving up
And for what it's worth
STILL HATE YOU
This eventual stop, this break in the mould
I scream down this hotline
Just to feel something
This eventual stop, this break in the mould
I scream down this hotline
Just to feel something
Just to feel something(X8)
This situation isnt getting any better
I see that look in your eyes
Weekends on young and angry streets
We meet, drink 'till trouble found us there
Living life as without a care
We've had our bouts, been black and blue
Its true, I've even gone to jail for you my friend
Bet your life that I'd do it again
(Until the End)
Don't change the way you think of me
We're from the same story
Life moves on, can't stay the same
But some of us, some worry
While some have gone their separate ways
Theres some still caught up with the past instead
But move on, you're missing most of your life
They say its hard to stay the same
When some fail, while other men seem to gain, my friend
I'll be with you here until the end
(Until the End)
Don't change the way you think of me
We're from the same story
Life moves on, can't stay the same
But some of us, some worry
We're all falling forward
With no signs of slow
And some moving faster
Thats all that I wanted
I wanted
You know its hard
Its passing by
Memories
Be out all night
To reminisce wont bring you back
Just look ahead and hold on tight
We're all falling forward
With no signs of slow
And some moving faster
Thats all that I wanted
I wanted
Don't change the way you think of me
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Somewhere life is good, and things go as they should
It's hard to find, but that's alright yeah
Searching for the way, push harder everyday
It's deep inside, that shining light yeah
But I'm scarred, by barriers placed in my path
I'm scathed
This ride that takes me through life
Leads me into darkness but emerges into light
No one can ever slow me down
I'll stay unbound
Sometimes when we're young, and always on the run
It gets so dark and I know that place yeah
So don't be too concerned, you've got a lot to learn
Well so do I and we've got plenty of time yeah
Don't fall off the track yet with so many races to go
Hold on
This ride that takes me through life
Leads me into darkness but emerges into light
No one can ever slow me down
I'll stay unbound
Some live so wrong, with what we do is each his own
But living in fear, endless shame for countless years
I never lived in fear I knew I'd die another day
I never viewed my life as something... slipping away
Some live so wrong, with what we do is each his own
But living in fear, endless shame for countless years
I never lived in fear I knew I'd die another day
I never viewed my life as something... slipping away
There's nothing here to take for granted
With each breath that we take
The hands of time strip youth from our bodies,
And we fade,
Memories remain,
As time goes on
There's nothing here to take for granted
With each breath that we take
The hands of time strip youth from our bodies,
And we fade,
Memories remain,
Lost the meaning of our stay
Learn to live another day
Doubt the choices that we've made
I know that we can't add our shame
It's only in disguise
Drowning in our own debris
Fool of thoughts as though we're free
Close our eyes so we can see
The death of all we need to be
If only in my eyes
I don't mind
(Make the writing on the wall)
My life grinds
(Tortured voices as we crawl)
Find me on my better days
To lose it once again in a way
So try and numb while you can
And take the time to understand
As long as I can touch your face
You know I'll never leave this place
If only in my mind
I don't mind
(Make the writing on the wall)
My life grinds
(Tortured voices as we crawl)
Find me on my better days
To lose it once again
But I seem to find out better ways
To consciously pretend
Silence all I want to say
And it seems to run away
I'll run away with you tonight
Launder all my sins away
And just like that mistakes are made
You know tonight the world dies
I don't mind
(Make the writing on the wall)
My life grinds
(Tortured voices as we crawl)
Find me on my better days
To lose it once again
But I seem to find out better ways
The problem with society's been
How do we teach and if they'll believe
We'll fight this battle for years to come
?Til we only accept that we can stand on our own
Rip off the youth, hands empty
Worked them too the bone
Provide his family with a happy home, alone
Don't take your oppression out on me
My old man is all I'm meant to be
This common place is so lazy or tired
All your ideas are so plainly uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one percent to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired?
You don't wanna be, they never say
But don't call us the liars
We've walked these alleys a thousand times
And scattered around a thousand lies
They are trying to hold you till your night may
Be hard but keep your feet on the ground
Why don't I have the finest things that others have?
The chance is there if you want it all that bad
So bad
Don't take your oppression out on me
My old man is all I'm meant to be
This common place is so lazy or tired
All your ideas are so plainly uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one percent to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired?
Don't try and get me confused
?Cause I do understand
And sometimes people need help
That they may need a
And when this problem's going on
A thing you have to get straight
Is that you don't own my hand
And I don't owe you a thing
So don't think about how
You feel when now your treated so bad
This common place is so lazy or tired
All your ideas are so plainly uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one percent to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired?
And as a race we look back and we've come so far
While some thing that others have had it so hard
But in this day we just complain
While there's no room for us to fight
I guess we're born in this
I wake up every morning bright and early
Roll out of bed, but I’m never quite alone.
Tension is pulling me in all directions.
And all these problems use me as a road.
Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy.
At anytime I could explode.
I need some piece of mind; it’s got me tired.
Don’t wanna lose it, but I’m turning down that road.
I need a moment, ‘cause I’ve spread myself too thin.
We all need a moment in our life.
Works hard, the days too long.
And that’s just where it begins.
Tension has had us all this time.
I sit in traffic every single morning.
Just as I arrive I’m slaving to the grind.
Making the money so I feed my family,
But I can’t raise them, ‘cause I ain’t got the time.
I’ve got no free days on my busy schedule,
I turn the page and it’s the same.
Don’t like my situation, you don’t either.
Don’t wanna look back scared.
I’m working life away.
I need a moment, cause I’ve spread myself too thin.
We all need a moment in our life.
Works all the days too long, and that’s just where it begins.
Tension has had us all this time.
But every now and then, I drive alone,
An open road, hot summer day,
A gentle breeze that feels alright.
All alone,
And I can feel no pain, only strain.
Enjoy the sights, I feel alive.
Relaxing here just feels alright,
Far from home.
I need a moment, cause I’ve spread myself too thin.
We all need a moment in our life.
Works all the days too long, and that’s just where it begins.
Never feared for anything, never shamed but never free
A life that healed a broken heart with all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly, saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could
Will you stay? Will you stay away forever?
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Plans of what our futures hold, foolish lies of growing old
It seems we're so invincible, the truth is so cold
A final song, a last request, a perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind
Where you can stay, you can stay awake forever
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Sleep tight, I'm not afraid
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me
'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
To live eternally
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say and you're so far away
I love you, you were ready
The pain is strong enough despise
But I'll see you when he lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands are tied
So far away and I need you to know
Caught up in this madness, too blind to see
Woke animal feelings in me
Took over my sense and I lost control
I'll taste your blood tonight
You know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me, baby
But no, it's too late, you've wasted all your time
Relax while you're closing your eyes to me
So warm as I'm setting you free
With your arms by your side there's no struggling
Pleasure's all mine this time
Ooh, you know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me, baby
But no, it's too late, you've wasted all your time
Cherishing those feelings
Pleasuring
Cover me
Unwanted clemency
Scream 'til there's silence
Scream while there's life left vanishing
Scream from the pleasure
Unmask your desire, perishing
We've all had a time where we've lost control
We've all had our time to grow
I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right
I'll hunt again one night
Ooh, you know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me, baby
But no, it's too late, you've wasted all your time
Cherishing those feelings
Pleasuring
Cover me
Unwanted clemency
Scream 'til there's silence
Scream while there's life left vanishing
Scream from the pleasure
Unmask your desire, perishing
Some live repressing their instinctive feelings
Protest the way we're built
Don't point the blame on me
Scream! Scream! Scream!
The way you would if I ravaged your body
Scream! Scream! Scream!
The way you would if I ravaged your mind
Cherishing those feeling
Pleasuring
Cover me
Unwanted clemency
Scream 'til there's silence
Scream while there's life left vanishing
Scream from the pleasure
Let's go
They all know, they all know
Sorry, did I wake your dreams?
Some questions run to me
We only, only wake up when we sleep
Met by the lunar light
Trouble's all we find
Lost our way tonight
Is it something we said?
Is it something we said to them?
Is it something we said?
Save me, entrapped in a vile world
Save me, where the endings
Are the same as every other
We're only here to die
Save me, I'm losing my only dream
Save me, I can use some guiding light
Some place to go
If you hear me let me know
They all know, they all know
Ever since the day you left
My fate's been set unknown
How many years
To walk this path alone?
So much to see tonight
So why'd you close your eyes?
Why can't I shut mine?
Is it something we did?
Is it something we did to them?
Is it something we did?
Save me, entrapped in a vile world
Save me, where the endings
Are the same as every other
We're only here to die
Save me, I'm losing my only dream
Save me, I can use some guiding light
Some place to go
If you hear me let me know
If you hear me let me know
Help me find my way
Said help me find my way
No pulse inside of me
Stone cold lips and heresy
All lies into a degree
Losing you I wanna be
You'll find out, right now
He may be out of his mind
But someday you will find
That sanity has left us all blind
And dragged us all behind
A moment seen with those eyes
Crystal blue disguise
They say that all beauty must die
I say it just moves on
If you'd only open your mind
Then someday you will find
Insanity left us behind
And walk right through the dark
I can see the picture's clear as yesterday
Pictures of my own
I can hear the voices begging you to stay
But know you're not alone
Save me, entrapped in a vile world
Save me, where the endings
Are the same as every other
We're only here to die
Save me, I'm losing my only dream
Save me, I can use some guiding light
Some place to go
If you hear me let me know
If you hear me let me know
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die
The mark I breathe on you.
It's burning through your soul.
The breath I waste.
Losing control.
I bleed in pain.
Testing what I know.
Lips soaked in deceit.
Pull me from here.
No one's innocent.
So why do I feel bad?
But guilt keeps creeping, creeping up on me.
Guilt. Tearing me up inside.
The innocent.
An evil in disguise.
The face of beauty to fall for.
I fall to my knees, deceitful.
Brought down by feelings of regret.
Again your mind has failed the test.
Not everyone feels the same.
Pacifist blinded by the game.
Stand tall. They'll break your heart.
Stand tall. They'll smash your ego.
Stand tall. They'll tear you down.
Stand tall. Scar your soul.
Break your thought.
Fuck your mind.
The mark I breathe on you.
It's burning through your soul.
The breath I waste.
Losing control.
I bleed in pain.
Testing what I know.
Lips soaked in deceit.
Cry alone, I've gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I've gone alone, took all my strength
I've made the change,
I won't see you tonight
Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for and loved
Building up inside of me
A place so dark, so cold, I had to set me free
Don't mourn for me,
You're not the one to place the blame
As bottles call my name I won't see you tonight
Sorrow sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for and most of all I loved
But I can't see myself that way
Please don't forget me or cry while I'm away
Cry alone, I've gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I've gone alone, took all my strength
But I've made the change,
I won't see you tonight
So far away, I'm gone.
Please don't follow me tonight
And while I'm gone everything will be alright
No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight
No more breath inside
I see you fading away from us.
I'll miss you very much.
Room with empty bottles, broken dreams,
and pride still running high, always on your side.
But I wanted more for you.
You can't go on this way.
And now I see it all fall through.
We pray for better days.
Stuck alone and scared.
Throw your life away and now choking on your pride may be the only way.
I don't want to see you like this.
We all tried to save you but missed.
I still feel the hope on your road.
Now come back to us like the days of the old.
I still feel you there, trying to get on top.
You'll always have my support, in my heart.
People you've hurt.
Friends that you've lied to.
But we understand, and that's not (you) can see the end of the road,
I can see it too, for you, I'm scared, if I lose you, I'm not prepared.
This time, if you die.
I watch you, right before my eyes.
Just trust me, and listen.
You have no self control.
This will take your life.
Overdose and then indulge until you die.
Pondering, we all ask the question why.
Broken home, and then abandoned by your dad.
And we are left the only family that you've ever had.
Help you see it through.
Fight this me and you.
Reaching deep inside.
Problems not just you is what we find.
We keep writing, talking and planning, but everything's changing.
We all know what to do but no one does it.
Now this time has passed and full of regret.
Two in my heart have left me a while, I stand alone.
When they get back, it won't be the same.
My life, you've always been there.
Now you're gone and my head's spinning.
Left the childhood, left the memories, left the good times in the past.
Moving on your time has run out.
Wishing the clock would stand still, the world can wait.
Wasting away once again, once lived as friends.
As time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life.
The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night.
Never will I forget you, and all the memories past.
So rarely I get to see your face.
Growing I looked to you in guidance.
We knew that time would kill us, but you're still so close to me.
To me you were my life.
To me you were my soul companion.
Now you are so far away.
Nothing can take away the times and the memories we had.
Come back - to the days when we were young
Come back - to the days when nothing mattered
To the days when nothing mattered
And I feel time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life.
The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night.
As time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life.
I slide through the wasteland, that's my world
My hunger takes your life, preyed on to keep me alive, yeah
Mercy's all that you need, mercy's empty in me
Can't you feel the poison rising
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite
That's right, I shed my skin tonight but my fangs are hard to hide
And you know that you're going to die, yeah
Mercy's all that you need, mercy's empty to me
Can't you feel the poison rising
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite
I can't regret, can't escape
Decisions made for me, no control
Fire that burns but never dies, yeah
Wrapped around, I'll bury my fangs inside
Making my way through the night, you're still in my sight
You're runnin' away 'cuz ya know you can't hide
My instincts are cold blooded hate, to you I'm the bearer of fate
Wrong place and now the wrong time, now terror is all that you'll find
Can't you feel the poison rising
Straight to the heart of the venomous bite
Cant you feel the poison rising
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite
I can't regret, can't escape
Decisions made for me, no control
Fire that burns but never dies, yeah
Wrapped around, I'll bury my fangs inside
Stay inside tonight
You're out there all alone
Vanish from my sites
Venomous control
You won't make it right
My appetite has grown
Lost your final fight
No love will be shown
Stay inside tonight
You're out there all alone
Vanish from my sites
Venomous control
You won't make it right
My appetite has grown
Lost your final fight
No love will be shown
Darkness coats us.
The smell of fall.
Changing season.
The graveyard is alive, black cat across my path,
the chill of cold wind, the breath of the dead.
Imprisoned souls.
Trapped for eternity.
Black crows break the silence.
The garden of the dead's alive tonight and you can't stop it.
Just enjoy it.
Open up your mind and you will feel it too.
The sound, the touch, the thoughts, that you've been so blind to.
You can feel the thoughts of the dead.
Feeling the thoughts of the dead.
True or false, it's still there, teaching me.
True or false, still there, teaching me.
You can feel it tonight.
The wood has rotted away.
Take the time absorb it.
Their time is slipping away.
Stone all carved by hand.
Statues that resemble their faces.
They still breathe.
Come join us.
Smell the burning ember's, time flickering away.
Timeless but soon gone.
Timeless but soon gone.
Smell the burning ember's, time flickering away.
Timeless but soon gone.
Timeless but soon gone.
I can find myself, alone with just my thoughts.
As time crumbles away.
As I crumble away.
A living nightmare, asleep but still aware.
The endless torture.
The painless pleasure.
I grasp myself.
Trying to regain control.
I experience and learn.
In another faction of my mind.
So confused.
But everything makes perfect sense.
Can't feel the pain.
Emotional pain's so much deadlier.
Lost, you've just been raped.
Pain. Your friends can't help you.
Why wont they help you? Another reality.
This can't be happening.
Why is this happening?
Who the fuck are you?
Who the fuck. Are you?
Trying hard to figure out what's done.
I scramble but now I run.
The images in my head.
All the problems that I've been fed.
Punching slowly my mind can't change the speed.
As my victims bleed.
No matter what I do or how hard I try.
I can't use my abilities.
Use my abilities.
Art of Illusion.
My razor sharp knife's edge, pierces my victim's body.
But I can't take their soul.
Punching through jello, stabbing not killing.
My story starts the day they said "she can't be found"
the news so dark, heart stopped, stood silent without a sound
It's over, she's finished, mother lies with your father and sister too
Cold-blooded, they suffered, shot down by the outlaws after you
Sorrow swallows my screams
Strength of the world! - is on my shoulders
Strength of the world! - is on my side
Strength of the world! - the one true beholder
Ice in my veins! - for those who've died
I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life
There's nothing left to say
Avenged the dead killed all who cross me in my path
Suicidal, I've never planned on coming back
I want it, I need it, revenge is dripping from my teeth
Need nothin', to feel power, and bring the killers to their knees
Nothin' to lose vengeance to gain (you know I'll never be the same)
So taste my breath I'm close behind you (so desperate on your final day)
Sorrow swallows my screams
Strength of the world! - is on my shoulders
Strength of the world! - is on my side
Strength of the world! - the one true beholder
Ice in my veins! - for those who've died
I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life
There's nothing left to say
Sitting in silence with heaven above me I prayed every night by their graves
While I search for closure I feel it no longer
I can't turn my cheek away
I stand before you , I'll sin when I have to
But now I leave your side, to avenge my family's pride
I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life
There's nothing left to say
Strength of the world! - is on my shoulders
Strength of the world! - is on my side
Strength of the world! - the one true beholder
Ice in my veins! - for those who've died
So far forever now alone, a greater punishment on me has been imposed
A killer falling from the light, I miss my family, I'll never be alright
You live your whole life staring at a wall, your mind goes blank sooner now you will fall.
You never learned the things you say to know now, but how?
There seems to be a difference, two different types of kids.
The ones who go out and the ones that are taught to live.
One groups taught how and the other group is taught why.
There's no need to tell you what's in my mind, but in the game of life I'm doing fine.
No reason to tell you which way to be.
Cause the streets have opened my eyes to see.
Look what's happening now.
What are the reasons why and how?
And don't you think it sounds stupid when someone's treated
I slide through the wasteland, that's my world
My hunger takes your life, preyed on to keep me alive, yeah
Mercy's all that you need, mercy's empty in me
Can't you feel the poison rising
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite
That's right, I shed my skin tonight but my fangs are hard to hide
And you know that you're going to die, yeah
Mercy's all that you need, mercy's empty to me
Can't you feel the poison rising
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite
I can't regret, can't escape
Decisions made for me, no control
Fire that burns but never dies, yeah
Wrapped around, I'll bury my fangs inside
Making my way through the night, you're still in my sight
You're runnin' away 'cuz ya know you can't hide
My instincts are cold blooded hate, to you I'm the bearer of fate
Wrong place and now the wrong time, now terror is all that you'll find
Can't you feel the poison rising
Straight to the heart of the venomous bite
Cant you feel the poison rising
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite
I can't regret, can't escape
Decisions made for me, no control
Fire that burns but never dies, yeah
Wrapped around, I'll bury my fangs inside
Stay inside tonight
You're out there all alone
Vanish from my sites
Venomous control
You won't make it right
My appetite has grown
Lost your final fight
No love will be shown
Stay inside tonight
You're out there all alone
Vanish from my sites
Venomous control
You won't make it right
My appetite has grown
Lost your final fight
"I'll try" she said as he walked away
"Try not to lose you"
Two vibrant hearts could change
Nothing tears the being more than deception unmasked fear
"I'll be here waiting" tested and secure
Nothing hurts my world
Just affects the ones around me
When sin's deep in my blood
You'll be the one to fall
I wish I could be the one
The one who won't care at all
But being the one on the stand
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me
When time soaked with blood turns its back
I know it's hard to fall
Confided in me was your heart
I know its hurting you, but its killing me
Nothing will last in this life
Our time is spent constructing
Now your perfecting a world, meant to sin
Constrict your hands around me
Squeeze till I cannot breath
This air tastes dead inside me
Contribute to our plague
Break all your promises
Tear down this steadfast wall
Restraints are useless here
Tasting salvation's near
Nothing hurts my world
Just affects the ones around me
When sin's deep in my blood
You'll be the one to fall
I wish I could be the one
The one who won't care at all
But being the one on the stand
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me
When time soaked with blood turns its back
I know it's hard to fall
Confided in me was your heart
Lived through you,
safe with how we lived our lives,
with how it all turned out.
(But things are bound to change)
Uncovered lies, surfaced throughout,
will make you change your mind
Sometimes life is altered
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right
When I see you, I can read it in your eyes,
fate misunderstood.
(But things are bound to change)
Swallowed the lies, can't blame you for,
thinking with your heart.
Sometimes life is altered.
Break from the ropes your hands are tied.
Uneasy with confrontation.
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right
I see my world crumble and fall, before my eyes
I know, I know.
Dark will turn to light, in time I'll be alright
I know, I know
(I never imagined my life could turn out this way
So cold so black so alone)
Living goes by fast, catch your breath
and it will pass you by.
And it won't last, to sulk with the memories you hold.
Sometimes life is altered.
Break from the ropes your hands are tied.
Uneasy with confrontation.
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right
Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday
But how could you go throw it all away?
In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left for me to do
I feel it burn inside, burning me like the rising sun
Lifted into the sky, took away the only thing I loved
I know after tonight all your power crumbles in my arms
So don't worry, I'll be fine, when my life ends, I'll leave this scar
And I felt down
I need you there every note and every word
Seems so hard to take
Finally, were destined
A smoking gun in hand, now don't you realize what you've done
Put a bullet in his back, your hero since you were so young
How could you kill the man who brought salvation through your pain
He must mean everything to end it all this shameful way
Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday
But how could you go throw it all away?
In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left for me to do
I started here so young and helped you get along
Just did it for the love, and people healed through us
Don't live your life in vain, don't take it out on me
You're cracked, so just remember, I'm not your enemy
I don't deserve to fall this way, by a man who felt betrayed
I felt so down now you're around to rescue me
Every note and every word I'm listening, yeah
Sometimes problems seem too deep to take, too hard to take
Sometimes I cry thinking my future looks so bleak
Finally, together we were destined
I know what's best for us in the end
Someone hear me, someone stop me
Someone listen, why aren't you listening?
Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday
But how could you go throw it all away?
In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left for me to do
In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left to finish you
Darkness coats us.

True or false, still there, teaching me.

The wood has rotted away.
Take the time absorb it.
Their time is slipping away.
Stone all carved by hand.
Statues that resemble their faces.
They still breathe.
Come join us.
Smell the burning ember's, time flickering away.
Timeless but soon gone.
Timeless but soon gone.
Smell the burning ember's, time flickering away.
Timeless but soon gone.
Timeless but soon gone.
I can find myself, alone with just my thoughts.
As time crumbles away.
Hard news, taken harder, don't look to me
Disappointed, we don't agree, I don't need your praise...
(don't look my way for help,
from the beginning you came to me)
Never asked you to like me,
I don't want your praise (we won't play your games)
Look down on me, spit in my face,
you're nothing to me:not to me
Darkened eyes you'll see,
there is no hope, no savior in me
(don't look this way, don't breathe this way,
don't stare this way, anymore)
Learned from years gone by, no one will care,
what happens to me
(don't look this way, don't breathe this way,
don't stare this way, anymore)
My presence won't be ignored, no not today
Don't walk in my direction, turn the other way
(don't look my way for help,
from the beginning you came to me)
Asking questions, predetermined answers,
you won't find them here (we don't want your opinion)
And I don't want you, I won't let you think,
compromise is near. 'Cause it's not near.
Darkened eyes you'll see,
there is no hope, no savior in me
(don't look this way, don't breathe this way,
don't stare this way, anymore)
Learned from years gone by, no one will care,
what happens to me
(don't look this way, don't breathe this way,
don't stare this way, anymore)
I'm alone in here
No more feelings
Killed my fears
Don't ask
you'll never know
you're left behind and I'll be exposed
Far away, you keep on trying...
Holding me down, breaking away,
trying to distance my life.
Not one in the crowd, but one with the answer
the one that could change your mind
But it's not true, I don't need you
Don't waste your time, and don't waste mine
I'm not your friend, I won't soothe your soul
Black enchanting eyes,
cut through my heart
with no regret or sign of life
They tear apart my pride
and cold runs through my veins
I feel their stare from miles
haunting every step
and they won't stop hunting me down
I know the time will come,
when all around me's burned
and you'll still see me there
Asking where you went too
and what person brought you here
And why you left the burning children
cold out in the night
and calling for you all alone...
Dark in their hearts,
I can feel it burn inside of me
Tormented young with no souls, haunting me
Pain in their lives all they know is misery
Take these chains away that are holding me down
Holding me down
They'll find you alone
and your desperate and villainous ways
Turning their hearts into stone
they seek more than vengeance
Look in their eyes your pain is their satisfaction
Look in their eyes and see the darkness take hold
I'm controlled by fate (waiting for)
Tired of your parade (waiting for)
No sign of vengeance (waiting for)
Burn for the rest of time (waiting)
Hear the haunting words (They'll find you alone)
lost children with no heart are crying (Turning their hearts into stone)
and you're the lost mother they're calling
Go now, run and hide (seek more than vengeance)
I hear them crying at night (your pain is their satisfaction)
outside when the planets are falling (for the rest of time)
They want to feel and know you hear them (Go now, run and hide)
Dark in their hearts,
I can feel it burn inside of me
Tormented young with no souls, haunting me
Pain in their lives all they know is misery
Take these chains away that are holding me down
(holding me down)
Go now
Run and hide
Eternal rest in time
Forgotten faces.
Lost in yesterdays realm.
Drained with confusion.
Where did it all go?
Look into the past, look into their faces.
Never, the thought of being time fucked.
But now they're all gone and all that's left is this blank faced picture.
Ninety percent, nothing was done, nothing accomplished,
coasting through life didn't seize the day.
No one ever realized that they're already dead.
By the time you realize, you'll be dead too.
Without another chance to save the world,
these things they're gone, your gone, forgotten.
Now your face in my picture frame. It's gone, forever.
Right before my very eyes.
And just when I thought I made light of things.
It slips away, into darkness.
My life passes now I see.
Just what this world does hold for me.
It's getting hard, harder to breathe.
Am I out of time is that what this means?
Well that's what it means.
That's what it means, you and me try to breathe.
Now you. Realize.
Your life, flies by.
Now I. Realize.
And we're at it again, I turn around another fucking war, man
I don't know where to begin, but I'll start with the radical leaders
Their steps we're followin'
Running, don't go back and fight, too many you'll lose
(And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood between the red and white and blue
But it's too deep for you to see and everyone eventually will take the step
Cause it's in sight you take the left I'll take the right
I fell the hate you've built for me and I say pay attention baby)
As they thank the Lord the blind can't see
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease
But it wasn't a sin, a sorry life judging in every action
And as they're feeding your mind with this shit you forget
How to speak, how to ask all the questions
The business at hand tonight, make the people choose
(I see another side in you but there's not much more I can do from on the outside looking in your government
Is listenin' to push you on the story of immortal father mortal son give them your mind
And all your wealth the cycle will rebirth itself)
If they had it their way, I'd burn in Hell and your future's a fuckin' disaster, can't you see
Don't give them all the power when your future's in desperate trouble, baby
As they thank the Lord the blind can't see
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease
I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact, you gotta make it alright
Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to...
Running away from condition, I see you but you're running away from
Your scared, seducive system
Most would claim I live a lie when pointed out it's easy to predict these things
Every color has it's side (I have a side), they live together vote and most embrace the same dark ties
Please help us, please save us, of course they have control we're all the same
Up on the cross, crucified their problem, drove the nail and let Him rot
Family and friends, it won't matter in the end I'm sure they'll understand
Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed
As I sit up here and wonder 'bout tonight you sold your mind, body and soul
Looking at the fields so green I know this sounds obscene
I see you're living for tomorrow but decisions you have made will leave you empty
As they thank the Lord the blind can't see
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease
I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact, you gotta make it alright
Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to...
Ruuuuunnnnnnn...
You've fallen asleep in denial
Look at the way we're dyin'
How it ends I'll never know
I've been away
Searching for a reason
Another purpose to find
I've sailed the seas
Fought my many demons
I've looked to gods in the skies
I've stood in hell
Where many had to suffer
I stabbed the devil in the eyes
Walked many roads
To witness ancient idols
And found the great Gates of fire
Had many stones
Question my conviction
Gave on these reason to rise?
The hate I'm searching
For bones he can borrow
while eyes gift in the night?
Final plight
Live again
I won't sin
I'll be coming home
Tend your light
Cause on this night
I'll be coming home
Escape the hell
Of capitulated mortals
And drink the blood of a king
A desert rain
has washed away direction
Had angels looking after me
So it seems
Live again
I won't sin
I'll be coming home
Tend your light
Cause on this night
I'll be coming home
My story ends
Not far from where it started
My weary limbs have grown old
I've seen the world
Through the eyes of a known man
Home is where the heart is
I've been told
So I go
Live again
I won't sin
I'll be coming home
Tend your light
Cause on this night
I'll be coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Jealousy's an ugly word, but you don't seem to care
Converse behind my back, but now I'm here
Need no one to comply with me through everyone that I
defeat
Don't need you, fuck camaraderie, this rage will never
go away
Hatred fuels my blood, I'll burn ya down (you can't
help me)
One king to watch the horsemen fall, I'll fight 'til
the end (I won't help you)
I can't trust anyone, see it in my eyes
Now I can understand, it's sorrow that feeds your lies
You're on my back when the water gets too deep for you
to breath
A crutch for you that won't always be there
Hide in the dark another day, the fear in you is here
to stay
So keep the fuck away from me and learn to trust the
words I say
Hatred fuels my blood, I'll burn ya down (you can't
help me)
One king to watch the horsemen fall, I'll fight 'til
the end (I won't help you)
I can't trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes
Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last
time
It's sorrow that feeds your lies
Run from me before I tear you down (be afraid)
You chose the wrong side (it feels so right)
I won't help you, let you rot away (despise what you
say)
Run towards the light exposing your soul (we won't be
there by your side)
Salvation's dying (somebody's crying)
We're all gone in the end, sweet child we'll miss you
No, so far away, far away
I can't trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes
Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last
time
It's sorrow that feeds your lies
Falling away, can't buy back time
This is the story of a man,
Who conquered life drink in hand
Ship unmanned.
Marked by genius, channelled good,
By some a bit misunderstood.
They'd been wrong many times before
Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints.
Never a stranger to late night snake
bite fist fights and empty pints,
Unrivaled heights.
He led with songs, they sang along,
created bonds that held so strong
Some were right and some were wrong
Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
The fearless lives of our great saints, our saints.
It's by the sea and at nights end that's when the sin and swill begin
That's when he had that certain light inside his head
For every whisper he would scream for every draught he shared a drink
For every sorrow there is a light from our St. James
On the sea by the cliff he watches, he waits the night to see
The day - his way
Last call will find us all
But there's a light that leads the way, our way.
Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,
There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.
A city of evil.
There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head.
Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
The Beast and the Harlot.
She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird and makes us drink
the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh and pearls.
Her plagues will come all at once as her mourners watch her burn.
Destroyed in an hour.
Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too.
Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky,
The Beast and the Harlot.
She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird and makes us drink
the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
The day has come for all us sinners.
If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground.
Flee the burning, greedy city.
Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around.
I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell.
You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see.
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,
You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever.
She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird and makes us drink
the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird and makes us drink
the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
When you see them coming in form.
And they say they do what's best for you.
Fighting for one total control.
They are planned and organized for you.
Breaking their hold. Breaking their hold of control they strive.
To keep you down, behind your back, the time has come, the end is near.
It's when you sleep, so late at night, and in the light, getting prepared.
It's not to help you, but help their cause, under one system, you wont exist.
They are the few, with all the power,
our system screams, we can't let them tear our hearts out.
Screaming, pulling on our pride.
Black and gray clouds willow in the balance as the sun falls
Rain plays a heart warming tune, on the pavement emotions stir
A feeling of warmness, compassion, fullness, I feel at home
Disguised by surroundings
As the torn and left in the gutter seek vengeance on their mistreated lives
As the torn and left in the cold, seek vengeance on mistreated lives
A silhouette stands still
A cactus on a warm summer night
But the rain falls cold and the moon shines bright
Black as night, cold as ice, warm as home, ready to live
Stars they shoot in a clear across the sky as does my time
Waiting, wanting, feeling, emotion, crying, breaking, loving, nothing
Clouds swallow the moon, and I'm alone
Thinking good times, and why'd they go?
Falling down, breaking down parts of me
Falling down, breaking down parts of me
Fuck, I need this place to get away from you
Clouds swallow the moon, and I'm alone
Thinking good times, and why'd they go?
Clouds swallow the moon, and I'm alone
Thinking good times, and why'd they go?
Clouds swallow the moon, and I'm alone
Wake the ones and rise tonight
Fallen souls we shine so bright
Rise now and ever
Forgotten memories
Hahahahaha
If walls can taught to spills the lies
We'll see the world through devil's eyes
I maintain an addiction
They know they take to high
I gotta a inch with a loaded head trigger
And a one way ticket to fly
when there's no writing on the walls
I see the lifeless devils start to crawl
And I don't need no lessons
After all
Everybody is doing their time
Got you right in the corner
Don't you look me wrong
Dump n' drowned 'till they gonna got a bitch
What don't belong
I see the writing on the wall
I see the lifeless devils start to crawl
And I don't need no lessons
After all
Everybody is doing their time
Uhhh
That's just the price to play
So tell me what you like
Gotta handle the?
Had enough of opinions
I got enough on my mind
Sell your soul for approval and a dollar
Got a pretty little body to grind
I see your number on the wall
I see the lifeless devils start to crawl
I don't need no lessons
Watch the fall
You lost my attention
After all
Keep on writing you're just rapin' yourself
(Nothin' can take my mind away from them)
Don't you ask about me, ask 'bout somebody else
(Once I've fallen there's many stories to tell)
I can feel it, won't embrace it
It's overwhelmin', how far ya take it?
(Stuck in a state of questioning)
And don't you tell me, you know we're destined
You won't convince me, I won't listen
(Resentment buildin', you've put our lives on hold)
Trashed and scattered again, I'm feelin' so low
You waste your breath while fuckin' with me, my blood is so cold
My destination always unknown, I'll find my way there
But goddamn motherfuckers always wastin' my time
I won't be the victim but the first to cast a stone
Sedated nights to the bar room fights as metropolis takes its toll
And don't you try to stop me, it's a place you'll never know
Don't try to judge or take shots at me, I'll never let you seize control
Play your game you better walk away
Your integrity don't mean shit
Crawl on me you fuckin' parasite
And I'm gonna take you out
Label me, that's fine, I'll be somebody else
(Nothin' in front of me but holes ahead)
Lie about my life, have a story to tell
(Lights went down, was on the edge and I fell)
Oh you're so insightful, let me remind you
To twist and break me, should make you worried
(Long way to go and you're right there)
Two-faced liar, don't try and know me
Deceit brings fire, makes sure you can't breathe
(Pick at pieces of my body below)
I never bothered with all the rumors, too much garbage
(All the same)
I'll stand right here, come on you falsehood deceitful liar
(There's no shame)
Don't ever take my side, I know you're never right, I'll justify the means
(Nothing's what it seems)
I'll stand around and fight but there's no point tonight
Been chained to this machine
Trashed and scattered again, I'm feelin' so low
You waste your breath while fuckin' with me, my blood is so cold
My destination always unknown, I'll find my way there
But goddamn impostor, are you out of your mind?
I walk down these roads alone and now you're seen here
My feelings that I'm havin' towards you are perfectly clear
(I control this ride)
My devils appetite is tonight and now I'm alright
But you goddamn motherfuckers always wastin' my time
Play your game and walk away
Your integrity don't mean shit
Crawl on me you fuckin' parasite
And I'm gonna take you out
I won't be the victim but the first to cast a stone
Sedated nights to the bar room fights as metropolis takes its toll
And don't you try to stop me, it's a place you'll never know
Don't try to judge or take shots at me, I'll never let you seize control
Don't try and get the best of me
(No one can help but your own self)
City makes my body ache
(Lonely, don't try and prey on me)
Don't try and get the best of me
(I feel your world dyin')
(No one can help but your own self)
City makes my body ache
(No more use in tryin')
(Lonely, don't try and prey on me)
And my body's trashed and low
But to you I'll never show myself or what's inside
And I've seen it all before but I'll settle the score
I'll never join your side
The wind of life and air from above smells of death.
Angels sing of the end.
Nothing you say and nothing you try will change time.
I don't want to know.
And I don't want to see you in this place.
Your kind is a disgrace as I spit in your face.
And I don't want to hear anymore.
A friend is fucked with while he's having fun on the dance floor.
Get the fuck out of here now.
Come on you kids, stand your ground.
This is your show, it's your family.
All of my friends there for me.
There's four-hundred more of us then them.
So kick them out.
Keep it positive.
Keep it real.
Keep it true.
Together with my friends.
I'll be there for you.
Through the problems thick and thin and problems we'll fight through.
This is to my brothers, I'll be there for you.
Through the problems thick and thin and problems we'll fight through.
This is to my family.
Man's coming more corrupt now, godless, wicked, and cruel
The soulless man stood silenced, Mary's 'word' rang so true
Chastisement worse than the flood, spread the word, its all through
Don't kill the messenger girl
As if we haven't swam enough tin this life of misery
Voice your prophecy, shed some light
fell sorrow for mankids's chance to survive
Swallowed lies and swam in your own tears
A stab in the dark and it wounded our will
We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time
We've grown in numbers six hundred sixty six
War breaks, a sign of the end, eternally expelled
Look to the sky for knowledge, the stars align tonight
Eclipse and heaven shall fall
Now I know I've seen it all in my life of misery
Dust the apple off, savor each bite
And deep inside you know Adam was right
lust and power, indulgence, no fear
Left with is sins, how does this end?
We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time
As the prophets shed the light on what's to come the crowds did gather
Your time is precious, they explained, no time to worry, messiah's coming
Don't go to sleep tonight, darling, hold me in your arms
These will be our final days and I can't let go
Walls are falling, churches burning, women ravaged, children crying
Flesh is tearing, some still fighting
In this world of misery
Dust begins to fall to the ground
The air is cold and thin
Thoughts are haunting me as I look around
This will never end when I bleed forever
Don't acknowledge right just dwell on wrong
And this spot in Hell's where I belong
And I've come so far it's been so long
Just don't know why it started or where it came from
Outside shell is strong confident
But slowly eats away
Like a man plagued with disease I try to fight
Through my pores it seems to seep when I bleed forever
Don't acknowledge right just dwell on wrong
And this spot in Hell's where I belong
And I've come so far it's been so long
Just don't know why it started or where it came from
And why you sit there and do nothing?
You're content with doing nothing
There's nowhere to run and hide
When you're living to die
Stuck alone inside your head
Better off dead
The phone would ring in the empty house
No one's around
Don't acknowledge right just dwell on wrong
And this spot in Hell's where I belong
And I've come so far it's been so long
Just don't know why it started or where it came from
But in my life
I wanted more
I needed more
Let's take a moment and break the ice
So my intentions are known
See I have pity in watching you suffer
I know the feeling of being damned alone
I've got a storybook of my own
Don't you see I am your pride
Agent of wealth
Bearer of needs (And you know it's right)
I am your war
Arming the strong
Aiding the weak
Know me by name
Well I can promise you paradise
No need to serve on your knees
And when you're lost in the darkest of hours
Take a moment and tell me who you see
Won't tell ya who not to be
Now you know I am your pride
Agent of wealth
Bearer of needs (And you know it's right)
I am your war
Arming the strong
Aiding the weak
Know me by name
Disciple of the cross and champion in the suffering
Immerse yourself into the kingdom of redemption
Pardon your mind through the chains of the divine
Make way for the shepherd of fire
Through the ages of time
I've been known for my hate
But I'm a dealer of sinful choices
For me it's never too late
I am your pride
Agent of wealth
Bearer of needs (And you know it's right)
I am your war
Arming the strong
Aiding the weak
I am your wrath
I am your guilt
I am your lust (And you know it's right)
I am your law
I am your stall
I am your trust
As they search for blood
All lies descend on one
Honest man in chains
But that don't matter anyway
My judgement day
My flesh will feed the demon
No trial, no case for reason
I been chosen to pay with my life
Mad men, they find what matters
Turning witches and saints to ashes
Rising masses marching to find heretic blood.
Impose your will on me
Till fire sets me free
The flames of hell burn bright
My fate decided by their lies
Final demise
My flesh will feed the demon
No trial, no case for reason
I been chosen to pay with my life
Mad men, they find what matters
Turning witches and saints to ashes
Rising masses marching to find heretic...
Heretic blood
Please, don't leave me
Please, don't leave me like this
I've walked a fragile life and I've fallen down
Please, don't leave me
My flesh will feed the demon now
No trial, no case for reason
I been chosen to pay with my life
Mad men, they find what matters
Turning witches and saints to ashes
Rising masses marching to find heretic
Finished With My Woman 'Cause She
Couldn't Help Me With My Mind
People Think I'm Insane Because
I Am Frowning All The Time
All Day Long I Think Of Things
But Nothing Seems To Satisfy
Think I'll Lose My Mind If I Don't
Find Something To Pacify
Can You Help Me?
Occupy My Brain
Oh Yeah!
I Need Someone To Show Me
The Things In Life That I Can't Find
I Can't See The Things That Make True Happiness
I Must Be Blind
[[[SolO]]]
Make A Joke And I Will Sigh
And You Will Laugh And I Will Cry
Happiness I Cannot Feel
And Love To Me Is So Unreal
And So As You Hear These Words
Telling You Now Of My State
I Tell You To Enjoy Life
When you see them coming in form
And they say they do what's best for you
Fighting for one total control
They are planned and organized for you
Breaking their hold, breaking their hold of control
They strive to keep you down behind your back
The time has come, the end is near
It's when you sleep, so late at night
And in the light, getting prepared
It's not to help you but help their cause
Under one system, you wont exist
They are the few, with all the power
Our system screams
We can't let them tear our hearts out
Screaming, pulling on our pride
Yeah, you've been alone
I've been gone for far too long
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you
Never let it show
The pain I've grown to know
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
Letters keep me warm
Helped me through the storm
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you
I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
I've always been true
I've waited so long just to come hold you
I'm making it through
It's been far too long, we've proven our
love over time's so strong, in all that we do
The stars in the night, they lend me their light
to bring me closer to heaven with you
(Bring me closer)
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you
I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
And with all that we've been through
Come back to me, this is unconceivable
Breaking apart the ones you love
Hate runs deep for what you've done to us
Left alone through suicide...suicide
I just want to die, take away my life
lay by your side, please...
Come back to me, this is unconceivable
Breaking apart the ones you love
Hate runs deep for what you've done to us
Left alone through suicide
Look at my face you pierce with a blank stare
No dream could prepare a heart for a lifeless friend.
He's gone. Nothing will take back time.
I need him back, but nothing will take back time.
I can see just fine with you in my life,
there by my side as it starts to fade
I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream
a nightmare full of sorrow
Nightmare - full of pain [x2]
I look back and see the twisted road
Best friends and despair took its toll
Take away [x4]
Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
all the ones around me, I cared for
and most of all I loved
but I can't see myself that way
please don't forget me
or cry while I'm away
Look at my face you pierce with a blank stare
No dream could prepare a heart for a lifeless friend.
He's gone. Nothing will take back time.
I need him back, but nothing will take back time.
I can see just fine with you in my life,
there by my side as it starts to fade
I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream
Come back to me, this is unconceivable
Breaking apart the ones you love
Hate runs deep for what you've done to us
Left alone through suicide... suicide
I just want to die, take away my life
Lay by your side
Come back to me, this is unconceivable
Breaking apart the ones you love
Hate runs deep for what you've done to us
Left alone through suicide
Look at my face you pierce with a blank stare
No dream could prepare a heart for a lifeless friend.
He's gone. Nothing will take back time.
I need him back, but nothing will take back time.
(Take back time)
I can see just fine, with you in my life,
(and)there by my side as it starts to fade
I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream
A nightmare full of sorrow
Nightmare - full of pain
Nightmare - full of pain
I look back and see the twisted road
Best friends and despair took it's toll
Take away
Take away
Take away
Take away
You can't be replaced
I'm left alone with you
In spirit and the words
You wrote to me
Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me, I cared for
And most of all I loved
But I can't see myself that way
Please don't forget me
Or cry while I'm away
Look at my face you pierce with a blank stare
No dream could prepare a heart for a lifeless friend.
He's gone. Nothing will take back time.
I need him back, but nothing will take back time.
(take back time)
I can see just fine, with you in my life,
(And)there by my side as it starts to fade
I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream
A nightmare full of sorrow
I can see just fine, with you in my life,
(And)there by my side as it starts to fade
I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream
Centuries pass and still the same
War in our blood, some things never change
Fighting for land and personal gain
Better your life, justify our pain
The end is knocking, the end is knocking
We've all been lost for most of this life
(Lost for most of this life)
Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us
And I know that most of us just ain?t right
(Most of us just ain?t right)
Following the wrong steps, being led by pride
How many lives will we take?
How many hearts destined to break?
Nowhere to run, can't escape
Full of ourselves, tied to our fate
The end is knocking, the end is knocking
We've all been lost for most of this life
(Lost for most of this life)
Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us
And I know that most of us just ain?t right
(Most of us just ain?t right)
Following the wrong steps, being led by pride
With peace of mind so hard to find
We're dwelling on the drastic signs
Another way to numb our mind
And as you close your eyes tonight and pray for a better life
You?ll see it flying helplessly away
We've all been lost for most of this life
(Lost for most of this life)
Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us
And I know that most of us just ain?t right
(Most of us just ain?t right)
Following the wrong steps, being led by pride
We've all been lost for most of this life
Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us
And I know that most of us just ain?t right
Following the wrong steps, being led by pride
We've all been lost for most of this life
Everywhere we turn more hatred surrounds us
And I know that most of us just ain?t right
Run away!
I'm living with a hole inside.
A piece of me that I have yet to find.
Edge of reason, lies uneven.
Turn me off, feel the blood so cold..
Like a product that was bought and sold.
Asking me for the impossible.
I ain't waiting for a miracle.
I ain't waiting for the world to change.
Under my skin, lives the reason.
Under my armor, I lost it all..
No more faith!
No savior made of our designs.
Fooled me before, I tell ya not this time.
Raped my body, lost my vision.
Lost my mind, I had to let it go..
Another day living irrational.
Another day inside this dying soul.
I ain't waiting for a miracle.
I ain't waiting for the world to change.
Under my skin, lives the reason.
Under my armor, I lost it all..
There's something in your eyes!
A part of me that I recognize.
I want to let you know..
We'd be there if we could and it's alright.
Taught me how to feel!
It's no wonder I'd do anything!
Tell me why'd you have to go..
With the worst to come lost are the best I know..
Time - seems like we lost it all...
Burn it all!
Burn it to the fucking ground!
Believe the words that I don't want me around..
Life revision, indecision.
World collision, and heads will roll..
With nothing left except the pain to show.
Mental manic driven overflow.
Mental imagery on the floor.
I ain't waiting for a miracle.
I ain't waiting for the world to change.
Under my skin lives the reason.
One snap for the dying
One click to end the day
Another story with a mangled scene
It couldn't happen any other way
You wanna talk about it?
I'm begging you to walk in my shoes any time
Watch the clock 'til you unwind
You wanna cry about it?
It's making me consider that I've lost my mind
The way I see you must be blind
So this is the world you left behind
This is the guilt that consumes you
So die alone, this is the one thing that I won't do
So say your prayers 'cause I ain't leaving here without you
Can't bribe me with money
Can't shower me with shame
Another killer from a broken home
Until you come on me with [Incomprehensible]
You wanna know about it?
Well, I'mma be fucking with you every time
Story broken, you're behind
Yeah, when you ask about it?
You can rest assured I'll give you my best side
Seems we all have friends to find
So this is the hate I've been born to
Full of the tales of the untrue
So die alone, this is the one thing that I won't do
So say your prayers 'cause I ain't leaving here without you
And I'm waiting, waiting for the days to slowly pass me by
And all the promises I'll find
No hesitating, you've pulled the trigger now your story's left behind
I know you want to see me fry, lock my soul you hope to burn
So die alone, this is the one thing that I won't do
So say your prayers 'cause I ain't leaving here without you
To die unknown would crush the fish lens we all see through
Nightmare
(Now your nightmare comes to life)
Dragged ya down below
Down to the devil's show
To be his guest forever
Peace of mind is less than never
Hate to twist your mind
But God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed
Burn the world, your last endeavor
Flesh is burning
You can smell it in the air
'Cause men like you have
Such an easy soul to steal
(Steal)
So stand in line
While they ink numbers in your head
You're now a slave
Until the end of time here
Nothing stops the madness turning
Haunting, yearning, pull the trigger
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know
That you belong here, yeah
It's your fucking nightmare
(While your nightmare comes to life)
Can't wake up and sweat
'Cause it ain't over yet
Still dancin' with your demons
Victim of your own creation
Beyond the will to fight
Where all that's wrong is right
Where hate don't need a reason
Loathing, self-assassination
You've been lied to
Just to rape you of your sight
And now they have the nerve
To tell you how to feel
(Feel)
So sedated
As they medicate your brain
And while you slowly go insane
They tell ya
Given with the best intentions help you
With your complications
You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
It's your fucking nightmare
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Fight
(Fight)
Not to fail
(Fail)
Not to fall
(Fall)
Or you'll end up like the others
(Die)
Die again
(Die)
Drenched in sin
(Sin)
With no respect for another
Down
(Down)
Feel the fire
(Fire)
Feel the hate
(Hate)
Your pain is what we desire
Lost
(Lost)
Hit the wall
(Hit)
Watch you crawl
(Crawl)
Such a replaceable liar
And I know you hear their voices
(Calling from above)
And I know they may seem real
(These signals of love)
But our life's made up of choices
(Some without appeal)
They took for granted your soul
And it's ours now to steal
As your nightmare comes to life
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know
That you belong here, yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Gone cast away in timeEvil yours, now evil mineSo I robbed you blind, the voices in my headCould jest a less than peaceful side
The endless possibilities controlling every nine, three, fiveYou can't break me, crushed the fears of yesterdayYou can't change me, barriers our trust will fadeI've stood in the dark, been waiting all this time
While we damn the dead I'm trying to surviveI'm not ready to die
Damned, watch the masses fall, burn it down, control 'em allMake me crawl, to daddy's little girl I read the writings on the wallWhile cast into the nothingness the final curtain callYou can't break me, crushed the fears of yesterday
You can't change me, barriers our trust will fadeI've stood in the dark, been waiting all this timeWhile we damn the dead I'm trying to surviveI'm not ready to die
Through the madness we find loyalty is no match for powerSave your body or lie, left to rot in your darkest hourFriends won't help you now as long as your mineYou can't break me, crushed the fears of yesterday
You can't change me, barriers our trust will fadeI've stood in the dark, been waiting all this timeWhile we damn the dead I'm trying to surviveI'll control the world one person at a time
As I damn the dead I'm trying to surviveI'm not ready to die, oh
I'm not ready to dieI'm not ready to dieI'm not ready to dieI'm not ready to die
Man's becoming more corrupt now, godless, wicked, and cruel
The soulless man stood silenced, Mary's words rang so true
Chastisement worse than the flood, spread the word, it's all through
Don't kill the messenger girl
As if we haven't swam enough in this life of misery
Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
Feel sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
Swallowed lies and swam in our own tears
A stab in the dark but it wounded our will
We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time
We've grown into the numbers, six hundred sixty six
War breaks, a sign of the end, eternally expelled
Look to the sky for knowledge, the stars align tonight
Eclipse and heaven shall fall
Now I know I've seen it all in my life of misery
Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
Feel sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
Swallowed lies and swam in our own tears
A stab in the dark but it wounded our will
Dust the apple off, savor each bite
And deep inside you know Adam was right
Lust and power, indulgence, no fear
Left with his sins, how does this end?
We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time
As the Prophets shedded light
On what's to come the crowds did gather
Your time is precious, they explained
No time to worry, Messiah's coming
Don't go to sleep tonight, darling, hold me in your arms
These will be our final days and I can't let go
Walls are falling, churches burning
Women ravaged, children crying
Flesh is tearing, some still fighting
In this world of misery
Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
Feel sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
Swallowed lies and swam in our own tears
A stab in the dark but it wounded our will
Dust the apple off, savor each bite
And deep inside you know Adam was right
Lust and power, indulgence, no fear
Left with his sins, how does this end?
This is the story of a man,Who conquered life drink in hand
Ship unmanned.
Marked by genius, channelled good, By some a bit misunderstood.
They'd been wrong many times before
Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints.
Never a stranger to late night snake bite fist fights and empty pints,
Unrivaled heights.
He led with songs, they sang along, created bonds that held so strong
Some were right and some were wrong
Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints.
(Solo)
It's by the sea and at nights end that's when the sin and swill begin
That's when he had that certain light inside his head
For every whisper he would scream for every drought he shared a drink
For every sorrow there is a light from our St. James
On the sea by the cliff he watches, he waits the night to see
The day - his way
Last call will find us all
But there's a light that leads the way, our way.
Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints.
Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
That comes alive when you take off her clothes
There's no telling just where she's been
Ask around but no one seems to know
Late at night when your looking to sin
Call her up and she'll lay down the law
You can't trust her 'cause she'll lie to your face
But that's not why you gave her a call
Awaits deep inside
The lust and burning desire
We've all been more than eager to sin
And it feels alright, 'till we pay the price
Now you choose either naughty or nice
'Cause she's here for you
It's all yours tonight
You won't believe the stories I've been told
About the girl I know
Another thing about this girl I know
She's more comfortable down on her knees
Went to school, got a job, and then she shot into hell
All 'cause she's born to please
Don't get her mixed up 'cause she knows what she likes
Can tell the difference between right and wrong
She knows you're watching every one of her moves
Just more reason to string you along, yeah
Awaits deep inside
The lust and burning desire
We've all been more than eager to sin
And it feels alright, 'till we pay the price
Now you choose either naughty or nice
'Cause she's here for you
It's all yours tonight
You won't believe the stories I've been told
About the girl I know
The first times hard enough
But you made it through
The seconds time I see the changes in you
She's got you somehow
You're needing her now
We've all been more than eager to sin
And it feels alright, 'till we pay the price
Now you choose either naughty or nice
'Cause she's here for you
It's all yours tonight
You won't believe the stories I've been told
Total nightmare, total nightmare
You wanna hear my side?
You need to drown to know
With all the times it hurt me to fuck you
I built a wall with your blood to show
God save us, God save us all
God hates us, God hates us all
Total nightmare, total nightmare
Nothing to heal, no one to wreck
Feel sad or roll now, there is nothing to tell
Nothing drawn, no one to fake
You'll find out sooner that it's just best if we just know our place
My infiltrated mind, my lacerated soul
You took me years, create me, control you
I let myself around with you aside
God save us, God save us all
God hates us, God hates us all
Total nightmare, total nightmare
Armed, rape, kill
Love, hate, fear
You better take your time
(Armed, rape, kill)
You better take it slow
'Cause when you see the one
(Love, hate, fear)
There is nothing left to show
Total nightmare, total nightmare
