Break through depression from inside
Lost hope seems to be a state of mind Can’t stand it, hate the way I feel Forced to dream of things that are surreal Living hell Can’t subside Fear existence Count the reasons why Put to death, my mortal soul Heaven help me, my blood flows thin and cold Race insanity, walk the line Bad impression seem through selfish eyes Abstain repression when it’s useless to resist The main objective is to sever thought being sane Frustration, anger think about the cause Fight a fight within yourself can’t let the feeling go An answer must be figured out to keep the system strong An uncontrolled desire to dominate the soul Little by little memories grow bleak The price you pay, the words you say a steady flow you seek When time stands still give a little shove When all seems lost that’s time to rise above 02. Dependency
Wasting days with the games that he plays
Something is just not right Signs of weakness from an unknown sickness Showing symptoms overnight Hide from friends then try to make amends By offering peace from your sacrificial pipe Try to change from a life that’s so deranged But don’t give up without a fight No Pleasure without pain Not a single thing will you own Not a single thing will you gain One man’s ecstasy Synthetic dreams Brought forth by hands made of gold Left to die with tarnished memories 03. Silent Insanity
Can’t hold back, must let go
Adrenalin surge, arteries burst and head feels blown Can’t explain, gone insane Twisted being burning evermore inside a… …world of dreams isn’t what it seems The pain I feel just seems so unreal It’s been taken much too far And now society… …society leaves its scars Pronounced unfit, a human waste Trapped inside a dingy gate Never did know wrong from right Won’t deny, don’t ask why Life is hell trapped inside a madman’s spell Heartless will, had to kill Mystic hate Trapped inside has brought me endless… …time to think, oh God what have I done? Now I hide because I cannot run Fear surrounds me and it has found me The price I pay has left me to decay Feel the pain that burns inside your head My nightmare becomes your reality Bodies that are lying beholds your deaths defying The anger never before seem Echoes by sounds of voices underground Deeper in silent insanity 04. Legend Has It
Voices in the darkness sound like our own
Under the skies of God I’ve watched the people grow For seven days and nights I’ve traveled far and wide I still can’t find an answer but God knows how hard I’ve tried What happened to the life I led so long ago What has become of me Some say I’ve trapped myself in this world Somehow legend has it How long must we live in sin You’ve taken away our rights If you think the battle is over You’ll never win the fight You’ll never win I think of all the times I could have changed my life But I was so unsure, unsure of my mind I think I figured it out, for too long I’ve been blind What makes me feel this way Legend has it 05. Dead All Day
Turn your head and look away, people dying everyday
Your decision breeding life, the seed of endless poverty Nothing done nothing said, struggle for the future trends Take from our working race, locked up in our golden shell Money spent blizzards blown, behind your false convictions Blaming us with your weeping tears, fooling some with gripping fears Reason for living is other people giving To force you in your dying directions Fight for self-respect existing off of other people’s fortunes The helpless, the ones who need walked upon by man’s misguided aid Broken the respect for life expecting to get some for none Sympathy, the waste of so much time Deserving people deserve what is right But who decides what’s wrong from right Not you nor me, is that the way you think is ought to be Don’t be a fool! 06. The American Zone 1990
Did he have any discipline
And did he get to school on time No different form anyone else But they say he’s a psycho! But we raised you so well Why did you play with the fire? This is hell, your new home The American Zone…1990… Opinions do not exist, your mind is owned And as for your life, we’ve got your future on hold Heaven and hell, what do they all mean? It’s not what you make it to be “20/20” you’re going in circles Do you know real from make-believe? Taking and listening, which do you choose? It’s not a game of win or lose! Take the time to figure it out Take a good lock and realize This shit is real, yeah it’s real! Somebody take me away from here What did I do to deserve this? What makes me so unacceptable And makes you so perfect? Your future’s on hold forever 07. Independence At Its Finest
A person thought to be one’s own--it’s a lie
My presence is an annoyance to one thought to be so kind Brought up to respect what’s right not what’s new Silent gestures accuse my being selfish and untrue Lost in a Christian’s ways, can’t turn back Religion is so dammed perfect, dragged straight to your grave Try to prove that I’m not bad, it’s no use My efforts to defend myself won’t bring hatred to a truce Take the long way to avoid confrontation in my own home You have religion and I have friends--who’s alone? Land that shakes and seas that boil Bad blood has poisoned me, a bitter venom spreads through my veins Just what he wants to see Unjustified notions of what he feels is right All stereotyped views can’t break the spell of an old man’s world His ways are his, they’ll be that way ‘til his last living day Break free won’t compromise his cause A hardened shell cracked by time Old ways lost, new ones born 08. Return To Me Life
From nowhere at all what can it be
Unstoppable power grabs hold set me free Darkened my eyesight fades show me the light Confusion, delusions, insanity return to me life Hot flash--bone--chilling cold rips through my veins No laughs--Acrophetamines deaden the pain A movie’s hell brought to life Set me free Feeling my energy drain unwreckable wall Adrenalin melting my brain my saviour I call Ready to meet my maker feeling his might Last chance to give return to me life Wake from madness The smoke has cleared A single moment The end was near 09. Innocent Blood
Cries of joy, a helpless cause
Memories lost, insanity Guild mind, innocent blood Spread for one, so helplessly Death for one, no escape Freedom be just steps away Bargains bought, roaming free Victims pray Try to save Forget the memories of today Reach for the final breath Born to be Silent curse, mindless pain Plagued by the surgeon’s keys Thoughts of pain, running wild Bearing down upon one’s mind Unrightful justice in control Changing time to time Offering lessons to learn Destruction carefree concern Sinister lay awaiting Observer closes the keys 10. Forever The Fall
Darkness, trapped, building up control
Becoming a victim of our own sanity Simple thoughts becomes and comes again The rain falls dripping dry Common wonder strange upon deranged Freedom that lock you in a cage Tunnels, falling, surrounding your soul Blackness blinding, forever the fall Justified, the problem is to know Life that’s dead before a helping seed is sprung Breaths that are poisoning Streams absorbing feelings of my sorrow Sleepless, filling in your eyes Something that you thought could never be unsolved Calmness, the paranoia Laughing with the game that brings you to die Trapped around the game, darkness fills your open eyes Forcing your pain, ignorance messing with your mind Warning, the piece of flesh Reach, peach out to the world Lies, nightmares Freedom that you found by falling deep astray Awaken to be darkness that traps your life away Life that’s living to a wasted prophecy Dying by a death that’s happened helplessly Scorching, blaze forces a still Rhyme scheme behold common fear Creative, killing, enjoying cruelty Independence stabs you in the back Pounding down the sharpened quest Leaving scars throughout your mind Screaming, silence, whispered in around Echoing voices filling up the sounds 11. Haunting Once Again
As lifeless as the midnight air
Into the eyes of the unknown A void separation of mind There’s no way out for your soul Do you remember the ashes of war? That opened up your door… …to new worlds of darkness Where the system of terror had begun Sins exploit the key to your past And for time…it is the end This endless horror has destroyed my life And is haunting once again Oh, Mother Earth send me the powers of the night So my soul will remain haunting Haunting once again! I’m just a victim of this never-ending nightmare Where concrete souls collide I’ve seen the magic that embeds the earth And the memories that have died You were so brave and you were so free But now you suffer so painfully Your mind is gone and you’ve lost your way The dreams are real and now you pay for your… Visions of a memory that drove me so insane A time for me to take control and help me break the chain Secrets of my hidden wisdom helps my soul grow strong Taking on my deepest fears that trapped me here for so long |
