Like a fever, fever - Inside of me
Like a fever, fever - Inside of me Stand fast, faithful one See the moon and not the sun but I... All I need is a simple reminder Breakdown, frail affairs Turn from the elusive stares but I... All I need is a simple reminder Guilt is feeding, feeding - Inside I'm cold Guilt is feeding, feeding - Inside I'm cold In depth grasp the chains Struggle as the waters gain but I... All I need is a simple reminder Observe the formation Fight until the battle's won but I... All I need is a simple reminder There's no rule to say you'll cry alone Just find the strength to help you carry the load Reverse the frown and let the power surge But when alone you cannot resist the urge Can you feel it, feel it - Like the pain of dying Can you feel it, feel it - Like the pain of dying Hold on face to face Damaged by the sad disgrace but I... All I need is a simple reminder Twisting the knife in vain End the grief but who will gain but I... All I need is a simple excuse... 02. Hallowed Land
You'd love to be so far away
It's not a long way to go, it's gonna end in your pain Greet open handed stranger Create the turmoil, you're not sane I want the last one to go the embers will revive So stay... You want to live a lifetime each and every day You've struggled before, I swear to do it again You've told it before 'til I, until I'm weakened and sore Seek hallowed land You'd love to see right through my veins The pale reflection tells all, predominations sustain Crawl over land or mountain In sight the ultimate escape A silhouette subsiding, enticed unable to relate You want to live a lifetime each and every day You've beckoned before, you'll never do it again You've prayed before, who are the prayers for? Seek hallowed land Begone the fools that lead me - I need not to know Accept reclining spirit I need to endure You try to live a lifetime each and every day In this short time of promise you're a memory... 03. The Last Time
It's a struggle with a failure's frown
And it crashes in front of me I see the clouds divide Will you stay or try to leave? The time you're looking at the door And you're thinking to walk right through I want to ignore I only wish that it passes soon Heart's beating... I raise a sunken smile As I serve the ones who served What can I achieve As you steal the air I breathe It's a cruel misfortune Forbidding us to see When stories may collide It's a sad state of mind Heart's beating... Heart's beating for the last time Heart's beating for the last time Heart's beating, it is a state of mind Heart's beating for the last time Heart's beating, the peace you cannot find 04. Forever Failure
Understand procedure, understand war
Understand rules, regulations I don't understand sorry You must feel frustration 'Cause your mind feels such temptation And your ways appear a total lack of faith You may feel elation At your body's recreation And the joy you need, restricted by one thought Are you forever - Loss of purpose in a passive life Are you forever - Pale, regarded as a waste of time High times are courageous But in truth they suit no purpose Induced, reduced, unable and afraid Can you feel rejection And a lack of motivation And the joy you need, restricted and delayed Are you forever - Loss of purpose in a passive life Are you forever - Pale, regarded as a waste of time I don't really know what sorry means, I've been sorry all my life I'm sorry I was born, that's what my mother told me I don't really know what sorry means I've been sorry all my life I don't really know what sorry means 05. Once Solemn
Once solemn, the things I'm leaving alone
Once solemn, the looks that turn one to stone And I'm learning the highs and the lows of the panic inside And I'm learning the highs and the lows of the fake promises Your powers electrify me Your prowess repels apathy Your image can turn your soul to stone I can't find another way I can't find the words to say... Unchaining the thing that's holding me down And it's frustrating, the pressure's getting me down And I'm trying to live with a bad decision every day It's a fever that's eating away in search of a fast release Your powers electrify me Devour the one that's guilty Your image can turn a soul to stone I can't find another way I can't find the words to say... 06. Shadowkings
A spiral movement, the ultimate mystery
Will you show... will you show who you are? It's the truth that untrue suspicion Is spreading like a disease Do you know, do you know, if it's real? Voices appear inside my brain Their need, to set me free Onward they lead before the dawn Teach me what's right and wrong Encourage the madness they welcome impurity I don't know... I don't know who I am Fallen blind to the cruel hysteria That's constantly challenging me All alone... All alone can't be real Voices approve I can't relate Their need to celebrate Onward they lead before the dawn Teach me what's right and wrong Voice appear the quest begins Fuel for the Shadowkings Onward they lead before the dawn Teach me what's right from wrong 07. Elusive Cure
Take a pact, hide the fuel that's gathered here
Pale in view, a fool resigns and taken over Skin your pride, it's stripped and taken from you Buried deep are the souls that are waiting For you and only you, you may attempt to proceed The sharpest point is aimed at you Where the pain strikes is clear Regret, refrain, I can no longer bear it... Rising ages increase elusive cures A moral life sacrificed greed's taken over Ride to take and the craving's buried deeper Reaching out grasping arms that are waiting For you and only you, you may attempt to proceed The sharpest point is aimed at you Where the pain strikes is clear Regret, refrain, I can no longer bear it... 08. Yearn For Change
Approaching a silence
A blur of subsidence Time may heal all troubles, is that what I've found? Joy entices all, until death's lonely shroud But I know it's forever Praying for a change Our lives leading onwards The essence is stronger Memories of life drifting further away I must doubt that where there's a will there's a way But I know it's forever Praying for a change Life is all the pain we endeavour 09. Shades Of God
The fire is gone, a time to search and then replace
I'll never know just how the blind can lead the way They search for faith, it shows the way - It leads the way The distant smile, banished denial - No more denial Are you the one who tries to send me to the grave? I cannot know what deals the truth what deals the pain Weak search for faith A path to take, you tread in vain The distant smile, banished denial - No more denial 10. Hands Of Reason
I speak of people, whose game is disguise
The myth of flavour appears with no sign 'Cause I see it coming, just like a long lost friend A temple of rubble, the low and blind betray Inane the pleasures that leave a sorry state You're told of treasures, indulgence cannot wait But wait for tomorrow, and steal some sanity Insane thoughts are borrowed, unable to repay them back As I now fall - Fall into deprivation Fall - Fallen, there's still tomorrow Love hides the things you'll never know A lack of reason that makes a mortal man Untold the treason, the past where it began 'Cause I see the horror - Horror to think about Insane thoughts are borrowed, unable to repay them back As I see the blood - Blood on the hands of reason Blood - Bloody the hands that lead me Love for the ones you cannot know 11. I See Your Face
Coming back today, the pounding thoughts relay
It's a time that's for myself I'm laying low, strife is gaining slow A kind of anguish I don't need When I see your frown, hurt will put me down If I could see a light shining Is this borrowed time, maybe a final time That I can see a light shining Will you make it slow, pure evil makes it slow I know you're brandishing the sign Dare I take a chance in this circumstance? Or will I leave without a hope When you seal my fate, sorrow turns to hate If I could see a light shining Is this borrowed time, maybe a final time That I could see a light shining What one man makes is there for one to take A single handed fall from grace Heart's beating fast, beating till the last A draining feeling's all that I know When I see your frown, it becomes my frown If I could see a light shining Is this borrowed time, maybe a final time That I could see a light shining See a light shining... 12. Jaded
Opaque the dissident establishment
That we all suffer Refill the porous shell with words that mean so many things Words mean so many things The feeling can't avoid you... Stoking the fires of absence Loss and anguish long departed Adjust to changes re-arranging, burns in many ways Pain burns in many ways The feeling can't avoid you... 20. Walk Away
And in the Summer when the clouds show through
I might go the same way too if You and I could talk together Well what I supposed to do with You and I would walk together Then with always close around and Now you gaze towards the doorway When the weather comes falling down And when the rain comes down Would you choose to walk or stay Would you choose to walk Would you choose to stay Would you walk, walk, walk, walk, walk away And when the rain comes down Would you choose to walk or stay Would you choose to walk Would you choose to stay Would you walk, walk, walk, walk, walk away Though when the day is nearly through I might see the same way too If you would name the things that bring you down on me so I could see it's Not quite true if you don't really know Or understand the circumstance Behind then I might clear your mind And you won't have to go so And when the rain comes down Would you choose to walk or stay Would you choose to walk Would you choose to stay Would you walk, walk, walk, walk, walk away 21. Laid To Waste
Resent a sense of feeding, demanding bleeding
Unhinged a savage seeks a quest Hollow heart's rapid beating The pulse is high it's never ceasing This cannot be a false pretense As people arise I feel it Stone cold, a passive disease, no chance of healing You'll wonder if this is the end The void submit to pass through Fear the eyes staring at you A time of unrivalled despair As people arrive I feel their stare You lived a life in chains Your master could not save You'll lose the grasp of gain No method to your rage You die a death each day For some it seems to stay that way Channels to feed your hate Lying there for you to take A place where fools attend No prayers for you my friend 22. Master Of Misrule
Wipe away the pouring rain
It's too late to feel it again What it takes to be born What it takes when the last has fallen What I see is depravity within us all What it takes to be born What it takes when the last has fallen What is this, the despondency within us all Maybe I'm already dead Or maybe I'm still alive Draining spirit, the soul and my body of pride I can see through it all It's too late when the end is calling Can't relate to the stranger inside of you Stranger inside of you What it takes to be born What it takes when the last has fallen What I see is depravity within us all There's no sense in the truth There's no will when the world is falling Hostility is aiming to demoralise |
