Reign over you another day
Take all I can
Slave to me there's no other way
Break all I can
Come and taste me
Stay and praise me
Take all I can while I burn you down
Weak man
Weak man

You know you never will be free
Come for you time after time and again

Crawl with me

Give me what I need from you
Don't question why
On your knees in front of me
Weak man
Weak man

How long have I given all I've got?
Here I stand
My days and nights now are solitude
I struggle on
I've paid my price

All I had I gave

So much still lingers inside my head
I've lost it all
No trace of tolerance I can find
An empty heart
I've paid my price

All I had I gave
Save all that you feel for me

I stand beside all that I am
Alive through all my fears
A drive inside me to succeed
Will that never dies

I'm spilling all my problems to you
I cry
You're deaf
So no one's hearing me at all

A weaker man would lose his faith
So many days without end
Undying need to take it all
Will that never dies

I've never turned my head to see
How it might have been
If I were weaker than my peers
I'd have given in

Burning hunger to rid you from my mind
You control me, the blind leading the blind
You are poison but you numb all my pain
Dying slowly, dying life that you drain

My blood is toxic and my veins burn for you
You are nothing but you're all that I do

You won't
You won't break me
You won't

Close the door, put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through

They choose the path where no one goes

They ask no quarter
They want no quarter
They need no quarter

Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you

They choose the path where no one goes

They ask no quarter
They want no quarter
They need no quarter

I'll never lose the scars you gave
No longer can I live in peace
I'll carry anguish to the grave
Frustration that I can't release

Self-Inflicted
Self-Inflicted

To see you smile it cuts me deep
Knowing that you're no longer here
I see you dying as I sleep
Wish I could leave it all:

Self-Inflicted
Self-Inflicted
All my pain is
All this pain is
Self-Inflicted
Self-Inflicted

Burn by love I taste the memories
I lick my wounds with pride
Count my days and nights in misery
Fueled by this rage inside
I can't look back
Can't look back

Nothing you could ever say to me
Could drain this swollen mind
Driving nails into my hands and feet
You left me crucified
I can't look back
Can't look back

I gave my heart and soul to you my friend
You let me fall
If you could only see what's in my heart
You'd take my hand
I've lived this life as a man would do
Why's it so hard to find the truth?
My faith is strong within myself
I bleed of pride
Inside
I won't forgive

You can't take it back now
It's to hard to swallow
No words
No conviction

I've found the truth inside myself
But I am still doing time
Opened my eyes to what is real
This world is hard
It's cold
It's agony

Holding nothing
Scratch the walls just to survive
You can't fathom what that's like
You can listen to you lies
In the end you'll do your time

Holding nothing
Staring at myself again
What I see would swallow you
In your eyes I'll always be nothing

Never did you understand
Never did you give respect
Never did you ever love
Never
Never

Rule me no more
I control my mind
I will not give myself to you again
Weakness is pain
Your strength is twisting me
I've never felt so helpless and alone

I have failed

Nowhere to turn
There's growth in pain I feel it
I pray to God it's not too late for me
Hard to believe on man could lose to such
All that I've lost can never be conceived

I have failed
