I am your temptation
Your every vicious thought Lacking self-confidence Deception in it's purest form I am your hesitation When you wander in circles The hand you reach for when no one's there In a charade so perfect Come walk this way And I'll have you I'll show you Yearning, dreaming Your humble servant Your trust so precious I'm the user, the abuser Haunting, serving The great deceiver I am your false beauty I am your hidden hate THe hideous face of sloth What makes you degenerate And I am the shadow What you sense when no one's near Discomfort and pleasure 'Til your chapter ends Come walk this way And I'll have you I'll show you Yearning, dreaming Your humble servant Your trust so precious I'm the user, the abuser Haunting, serving The great deceiver 02. End Of Your Days
I've tried it all
It's gone too far And the worst of all Is the promise that I can't keep I have emptied every source I have learned all there is to know To stand by as you wither To watch your spirit drain I just wish hope could last forever Last forever So here we are The end of your days So here we are So here we are I have lost, I have failed My promise not kept & I'm sorry I have emptied every source I have learned all there is to know So here we are Holding hand at the end of days Your eyes slowly shuts You hand lets go & I kiss you farewell Farewell... So here we are The end of your days So here we are So here we are I have lost, I have failed My promise not kept & I'm sorry So here we are I promised hope forever, but I'm sorry 03. As I Lie Here Bleeding
I place my foot on the first step
That leads me down into my fate So father please forgive me As I cannot see it end I am now up on the table It trembles under my weight I wipe away the cold sweat Close my eyes &... Falling out of what I know is true Falling come shelter me as I lie here bleeding Falling away from what I thought was you Falling come shelter me as I lie here bleeding So speak & I listen I'll take the time to hear you out So scream & I sure listen I just need a little time Gathering the pieces of a stronger me Helpless weak & battered My wounds are bleeding Falling out of what I know is true... Gathering the pieces... Falling out of what I know is true... 04. Recreation Day
1 step at the time
Small progess seems futile But is as valuable as life I'm engaged to longing With sorrow as the ring Controlling me, denying me My every morning is in every way The beginning of a recreation day Time heals, but still the mourning reigns I still breath when the loss reminds me again I am here Life is fear & sorrow's all I know Am I in dept cause so it seems But what I owe I don't know Devoured by guilt & cursed beyond control My every morning is in every way The beginning of a recreation day 05. Visions
In a future not so distant
The sun & moon will still rise But mother Earth shall force us to listen I have seen it written And so it shall it be done I have a gift, some even call it a blessing I'm caught in a dream A dream where I can't run Where I can't run... Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming Wish I was caught in a dream But I'm not so I'm Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming Wish I was caught in dream But I'm not... I try to hide my visions Throw'em in & lock'em up In a room with just four walls I did not choose this mission Who pointed me the prophet? With a crystal ball I have a gift, some even call it a blessing I'm caught in a dream A dream where I can't run Where I can't run... Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming Wish I was caught in a dream But I'm not so I'm Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming Wish I was caught in dream But I'm not... 06. I'm Sorry
I painted a picture of you
Your soul was red & your mind was blue Destiny lad a light on my creation This dream I had made a slave of my passion Reality was always too far away And we were happy until it came too close 1 day Suddenly I faced the truth of my dream My love had only been a picture, a scene I suppose I needed to believe Didn't want to see you had never been close to me But I'm sorry This illusion has caused you a lot of pain And I have no solution I'll try to never be back again I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I painted a picture of you My dream was a lie & the lie became truth Reality held his breath too long It's disgusting what dreams can do But I'm sorry This illusion has caused you a lot of pain And I have no solution I'll try to never be back again I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry 07. Blinded
Compelled to speak when not to speak
My words lead & I follow I must talk or else I'm weak Let no one know my shell's hollow False world created I just watch it come to life Your faith's my weapon And your trust by my side Lost all my senses Can't feel, can't hear, I'm Blinded Lost all my senses Emotionally numb Blinded Nothing's sacred & no one's safe I'm feeding on denial Getting careless soon bound to fail Fooled by my own betrayal Are you lost in fury? Fearing to fail Are you aching for vengeance? And got lost on the way Are you hiding your anger? Fearing truth will prevail Ashamed of the present And what you've become today False world created... Lost all my senses... 08. Fragments
Fragments of the past flash before my eyes
Never ending streams of images colliding Silhouettes of memories slowly fading away Illusionary seductions haunts me in my dreams Fighting for freedom But the chains I'm in won't break It will soon be too late I am here, I am lost, I am weak, & bothered Is this it? Will I grow when my soul falters? I am here, I am lost, I am weak, & bothered Is this it? Will I grow? I am weak & bothered Blinded by the fear Of being left alone I seek the truth within As the shadows are closing in Calling oblivion Cause the state I'm in won't change And I'm fighting for freedom Cause the chains I'm in won't break I am here, I am lost I am weak & bothered Is this it? Will I grow when my soul falters? 09. Madness Caught Another Victim
I've been searching for so long
For someone to lead the way And I've been searching for someone Someone to ease the pain And I've been searching for someone Anyone to help me cure my shame Madness caught another victim And the victim's name is blame What are my options? When the road I'm walking ends What are my options? When all my ambitions fails The words you now are reading Are meant for your eyes only I hoped for strength but now I'm leaving Cause I fear my feelings And to not do you justice Is too much for me to bare And as courage is my weakness I choose the cowards path What are my options? When the road that I'm walking ends? And what are my options? When the last ship of hope have sailed What are my options? When the road that I'm walking ends So what are my options? When my words are all that remains 10. Your Darkest Hour
Feel free to question me
Let out the hate you feel Blame all your doubts on me And your caving reality I will not judge, I cannot judge So feel free to question me I would hold you when you're sleeping I would guide you when you're drifting I'd be the light you seek in your darkest hour I will show you how to leave it Out of the darkness & into the light Leave it I will show you how to leave it To find a new day & a vision in bright Feel free to question me Let out the hate you feel Walk throught insanity And awake into crystal clarity I will show you how to leave it Out of the darkness & into the light Leave it I will show you how to leave it To find a new day & a vision in bright 10. Unforgivable Sin
Lonely thoughts from a lonely mind
He fights for recognition Desperate tries only Increasing the pressure Falls blind unseen forever The children of today The children of tomorrow Forced out of a life of their own We are the sinners of these days And only bringers of sorrow We're only bringers of sorrow Unforgivable sin Temptation too big Unforgivable sin Temptation too big Unforgivable sin Unforgivable... Wounds inflicted a bloodstained soul Distinct marks of violence Skin fragments under nails And a God forsaken fate No holy water can save him now A false prophet, a deceiving smile Arms open - here's trust to find A man of God, a temptation too big Unforgivable sin No holy water can save him now And no prayers can cleanse the lust He used, abused, & he raped the trust The innocence of a life is lost Unforgivable sin Temptation too big Unforgivable sin Temptation too big Unforgivable sin Temptation too big 10.

Trilogy Of The Damned
In a garden of sorrow
Among the mourning of souls A silent whisper you must walk alone Even though my tears tells me not to I must walk alone I seek shelter Cause I am hiding As light is our darkness We seek the day But when the shade of the night comes It chases my strength away My steps echoes In this chapel of fall And I see my past being Being left behind I hope I beg Can't someone come and take my soul And take my soul... My sanity has left me My trust died with you What is left are only pieces My tears fall for you I'm gonna fly I'm gonna roll I'm gonna thunder So I place the roses So gently on your grave And I still remember I can feel the flames And I know I have failed and my promises nothing worth I see it all so clear But my words mean nothing I'm gonna fly I'm gonna roll I'm gonna thunder My sanity has left me The trust I once had has died What is left are only pieces All my words been proven lies Been proven lies If I could I would Fly roll thunder All for just another chance to speak with you Show you But my words... But my words mean... Nothing All the battles that I've fought and lost When I'm asleep they come All the screams that I've screamed unheard A week wounded soul Dare I open my eyes and see How much more can they possibly harm me The frustration The hurt The fear Of a week wounded soul They're watching me They're touching me Moving so quick they're all around me Ain't got the right But say they do The Shocking Truth A week wounded soul A deeply wounded soul |
