Breaking from under the spell
Taking my life like a bullet wound My masters are straight out of hell I feel their eyes watching my every move I can not surrender control My only relief from this endless pain I beg and I cry for an ounce of your sympathy Still I am left here to die Carry on, just a moment of mercy Bring your fight to them all Lift your blade, from the floor Death, is my burning light Still I'm alive and must fight The knife in my hand is my guiding force I scream through the silence of night My senses are gaining complete control Just a dream, now nothing is over Break your chains from the wall Stand up, stand tall Slowly we built to a mass An army of one as we grow with our vengeance The battle has not yet begun We'll tear out the hearts of all those who suppress us Just a dream, now nothing is over Break your chains from the wall Stand up, stand up, stand tall 02. Knockin' At My Door
I'm feeling like I'm caged, I've got to live
There's someone on their way I'm guessing that I'm brave, but still I give The devils has his day I'll tear it up, I'll tear it down alone, that's what I feel inside I look behind the corners where I go I can not close my eyes You see what you wanna see You feel what you wanna feel There's someone at my door Who's that knockin' at my door, knockin' at my door Who's that knockin' at my door, knockin' at It stepped inside my mind and it won't leave The images I see I can't confuse the messages I read There's someone haunting me You hear what you wanna hear You know what you wanna know There's someone at my door You see what you wanna see You feel what you wanna feel There's someone at my door 03. Blinded
Blinded, I give my true confession
Innocent I walk out on the floor Finding, all of my oppression Patronizing what you think is pure Give me something, lay my hands upon the door Only my sense of who you are, who you are Is it yesterday, am I on my way Just a picture on the wall Sever all my ties, try to recognize Just a memory, that's all Blinded, caught in disillusion Just a little light inside your eye I've been dwelling in seclusion Hiding from the demons in the sky Only you, drag my heart onto the floor Desperate my intentions are ignored, are ignored Is it yesterday, am I on my way Like a needle in my vein Sever all my ties, try to recognize Now I can't escape the pain Now I'm lost inside, mirror by my side Like an angel at my door Broken alibis, try to recognize I keep coming back for more Is it yesterday, am I on my way Just a picture on the wall Sever all my ties, try to recognize Just a memory, that's all 04. One More Alibi
Roll the dice or spin the dial, save a life or kill a child
Test the blade for residue, that's not all they found on you Like a dying man, in a story book The only think I want to know is who you are I'll give you, a moment in your life to run From all the different things you might not be I'll let you, inside my confidence I know And find a way to what you have become Burn the cross or let it stand, is it a crime for half a man I need to know Build a bridge or tear it down Only a king could wear your crown Such a lonely page, in your story book Now all I want to know is who you are I'll give you, another piece of time to tell you It holds the answers to your life I'll show you, one more alibi to let you Resurrect the pieces you have lost Like a dying man, in a story book The only thing I want to know is who you are Tell me who you are It's just a moment in your life, it's just a moment in time 05. It All Falls Down
Building walls cities tall, just a moment over
Camouflage, hear them call, one more turn to sorrow Tear it down, tear it down, then they will remember Every kind has a crown, nothing left to send her Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I know it does, I know it all falls down Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I know it will, I know it all falls down Innocence, just the same, never stop to question In the end, just a game, it's just no deception Tear it down, tear it down, tear it out from under Take a piece, look around, there's no time to wonder Tell a few, tell them all, just in time to miss you Kick the wall watch it fall, it's a crime to be true Take a life make them proud, then the past is undone 06. Helpin' Hand
If ever I saw you there, would you even care
Just a sign for everyone to see Once I was a boy, now just like a man I'll find a way to pass another helpin' hand In a distant land, I'll be there for you No one else gonna help you like I do Tell me, tell me half of what you're thinking 'cause I don't know Tell me, tell me so my heart ain't sinking, let me know Just in time you've come, like another one I've just come to rectify your soul Once I am a man, I'm gonna make a stand Get out of my way while you can If you ever go, won't you let me know Don't betray the passage out yourself Tell me, tell me what you think you're living for 'cause I don't know Tell me, tell me just in case you're heart ain't sure Let me know Deep inside my soul, visions come and go I've got to find a passage back to you 07. The Mystic
Mesmerized, darkened skies, we set upon the seas
In the night, we can not wait, to hear the mystics pleas Carry on, on through the mercy of night Never wrong, hi power of sight Oh see me, see me Won't you just look in my mind Oh help me, help me Turn me away, from all evil I find Desert sun, wind and rain, all is at your command Nothing hides from your tortured eyes The answers lie in your hands How long we can find the will to survive Hear my scream, am I alive Oh see me, see me Won't you just give me a sign Oh help me, find me Give me your hand, and tell me all that you find How long we can find the will to survive Hear my scream, am I alive 08. Still Alive
Pickin' me up, your tearin' me down
Like a fool on a mile drive Sew my side with a dirty needle Keep your live on the prize alive Turn me out before you turn me in Got my hand on a ready blade Five more days till I meet the man Gonna bow my head and say I'm still alive, half a mile until I get away Still alive, live to fight again another day I've burned my bridge and I've done my time Like a man on a magic ride I'll find my way through a crowded street I'm a devil in disguise Get out of my way or I'll gun your down Got no time for your alibis I found the crown, now I'm out of town, never gonna die I'm still alive, half a mile until the border line Still alive, leave the scene and you won't do the time I'm still alive, half a mile until I get away I'm still alive, so I'll live to fight another day I'm still alive, half a mile until the border line I'm still alive, leave the scene and you won't do the time 09. Alive In The City
Patronize me, crucify me, throw me in your hole
Suicide see, can't control me, the only thing you know Try to break me, try to make me, turn against my soul Try to burn me, try to turn me, against the things I know I know you, you're alive in the city, never bring me down I'll turn you from pride to pity, your feet ain't on the ground Down get down Running from the man gonna keep me running Now you've found Never gonna get what you want from money Down you'll see, alive in the city where the blind man see Dawn this town, never gonna change your history Classify me, pacify me, stab me with your smile Try to hate me, desecrate me, keep me in denial You're hesitating, I'm penetrating, deep inside your mind Infiltrating, eviscerating, everything I find I found you down in the city, now it is your time I've damned you, and all you're pity, finished with your lies Damn this town, never gonna lose your history Classify me, pacify me, you'll see Crucify me, patronize me, you'll see Try to break me, try to make me, you'll see Try to turn me Down you'll see, living like a pig in misery Down get down, spitting in the face of you and me 10. Shine
Speeding through space, I'm falling to fast
The present is fading away Twisted and lost, I'm far from my home Just hours of air left to breath Into the void, I plunge into blackness This mystery cones to an end Searching and screaming and desperately pleading In minutes my death will commence I can't let go Nothing left to give me hope Showering storms of fire and ice I tumble from mountains of sand My senses are dull, my body is weak My ship is in destiny's hand Blazing with fire I call to my god Glory to thee take my soul Save me from pain, or raise me from hell My body is in your control And I can't let go Nothing left to give me hope I just don't know Nothing left that I can see Shine, on your light, see me through Shine, end this fight, come to you Shine, in your sun, my last hour Shine, I can't run, to your tower 11. Stained Mirror
[Instrumental]
12. Darker Side Of Light
Is someone out there
Is someone hiding from the light, ain't that right You hear them screaming You see them crying in the night, oh nothing's right You can see me Don't you understand Don't you know I'm fallin' tonight, to the darker side of light You better let me go I'm fading away, a thousand times today Help me find my way, and I'm calling out to you tonight Somebody saved you Somebody pulled you from the dark, like a spark You let me stumble, you let me ease away from pain The broken chain They can't see you They don't recognize, why Like a dream you faded, you were cast away Deep into the night, somewhere safe You came to me, hold yourself and say, yeah I'm falling tonight to the darker side of light You better let me go I'm fading away, a thousand times today You better help me stay I'm falling tonight to the darker side of light You better let me go I'm fading away, a thousand times today You better help me stay And I'm callin' out to you |
