Draiman is quoted as saying, "the first record I ever bought was Kiss’ Destroyer. And those classic bands like Black Sabbath were my first loves...I focused on the seminal metal bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Pantera and Queensrÿche."
Draiman continues, "But I could also appreciate the hair metal bands – When you hear Whitesnake, you can’t deny their greatness. Then I went in the direction of punk and new wave, groups like the Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Misfits and later The Smiths and The Cure – that was my ’80s."
I'm over it.
You see I'm falling in a vast abyss...
Clouded by memories of the past...
At last... I see
I hear it fading, I can't speak it,
Or else you will dig my grave;
You fear them finding, always whining...
Take my hand now, be alive!
You see I cannot be forsaken,
Because I'm not the only one,
We walk amongst you feeding, raping...
Must we hide from everyone?
I'm over it.
Why can't we be together, embrace it,
Sleeping so long, taking off the mask,
At last... I see
My fear is fading, I can't speak it,
Or else you will dig my grave,
You fear them finding, always whining...
Take my hand now, be alive!
You see I cannot be forsaken,
Because I'm not the only one,
We walk amongst you feeding, raping...
Must we hide from everyone?
You see I cannot be forsaken,
Because I'm not the only one,
We walk amongst you feeding, raping...
Must we hide from everyone?
Everyone...
