Dark is the day, where his thoughts betray, weighing on his mind, and it steals his soul
To place his trust, with memory's love, waiting to align, who will heal his soul?

Wait to see, for a grand return, he remains alone
Drifting away in the twilight sky, the novelty will fade away

Erik: "I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life's all about"

He can't feel for his heart is yearning, all is lost today, you can hear him cry
Sorrowed sighs through the rolling darkness, waiting for the time, to believe in her

Dreamer's day, when he longs to say, and take it all in stride,
Sitting alone in his prisoned mind, the jaded takes its toll again

Erik: "I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the People would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life is about"

Blood on the lips of his mother
Dead for a day
She warned him that this day would come
Dead for a day
Feeling he doesn't know who to trust
Dead for a day
Sin for his heart is the color red
Dead for a day

Time for the fainter, just to hear pathetic cadence of cries
Pray to your savior, and you'll fear the crippled godsend of lies

Erik: "Why can't you save me, can you feel it in my soul?
Why can't you save me, Can you see it in my soul?"

"I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life's all about"

To be dead just for one day
To be dead, dead for a day!
To be dead just for one day
He wishes he could be dead!
To be dead just for one day
Dead for a day!
To be dead just for one day
To be dead for a day
Dead for a day!

Dying for the sun
Dying for the sun
Dying for the sun
Dying, dying for the sun

Why should he trust her, she's losing control
Why should he hear her, because her lies enrage him more
He can feel the fire, burning inside his soul
Where will her faith reside, 'cause he will never let her go

There's no escape, you'll fear it now
This reward to save her soul, to see him die
He tells the world, and darkness comes
He will never find her now, in his demise

Dying for the sun, he's dying, for the one
He's dying, for the sun
Dying, dying for the sun

Can he heal the lucky one, the one who treads the garden path
Desperation within the means, walk along the fallen leaves
Rise
Come the dying light, the burning white, to say goodnight
Captured now, the shift in tide, the two are his who vomit pride

He does not know what set him free, the stagnation of the dark
Burning neath the beast of dying, strangle the night with nested wire

There's no escape, he'll fear it now
You cannot strip away his soul, He's soon to die
You tear him down, and darkness comes
The priest now sides with his disgrace, beyond this life

Look away, the morning comes, he will speak before the tortured son, infamy
Look away as the demons call, now here the vow of a desperate man

He couldn't live with his broken heart in a dream, harder to waken on the hour's toll
Searching the sleep of the fallen brave, headed to daylight, those who prey on him
Now the whispers prey on him

She is the woman, confessions from the priest
Just to waken the lifelong years of dark decay
He can hear she's decided not to sleep,
He should thank and accept her feeble words to be

Mindful hour won't pass him by, he believes it's just a game they play
Hiding it all, concealing her, burning the way back to the lonely road
Please be the one who knows

He cannot hear the words that she's screaming, he cannot change the world tonight
And he fears not what he has heard in their old dreams, he knows he cannot save the world!

How can he leave this open for the burning fire
He can see her face
How in the world can he follow her naked truth
He can taste the dire
How can we count the stars of the fallen day
He can hear her voice
The connection to the garden is her soul
He can feel her pain!

If she leaves him now, the aching part of his life
If he could hold her again he would never be wrong, to the end of days
If she believes him now, the sun will return in time
And he will drag her out, out of hell, to his world, in every way

He couldn't live with his broken heart in a dream, harder to waken on the hour's toll
Searching the sleep of the fallen brave, headed to daylight, those who prey on him
When the beautiful is his

He cannot hear the words that she's screaming, he cannot change the world tonight
And he fears not what he has heard in their old dreams, to the calling of blood and dreams
To the calling of blood and dreams

He can feel the angels, turn away from him
By the lord of darkness calling, she'll never let him see

If ever he arrives, he could still believe
And no one here will tell, and he will never die here
The sounds of the night, clawing at his heart
Telling him to run, never gonna leave here

Calculate the numbers, struggle through the night
Try to prove the ancient folk tale, she'll never let him see

He's telling her to try, never to believe
And no one else but him, never gonna cry here
A demon of the night, she'll never see the right
He doesn't wanna go

Erik: "I don't wanna die here, for you"

Free him from her
Long yields pass into the light
Don't run from me
Like a future on the brink tonight
Eight years from now
All the living has to pay the price
Surround with fear, your death day

There hands are disfigured, fingers branch like dead trees
He believes she's a demon, he believes in the witch

He can see in the darkness, her eyes staring him down
Peering in through windows, stalking, from the ides of time

Forever to believe, never he'll deceive
And he won't even try, never gonna die here
Even when she's gone, he will never know
No one will ever tell, never lie here for her

He's traveling all alone, hearing her cry, his name, in the darkness of the night
He wanders aimlessly for her embrace, tonight, he can feel her guide him home

Rise, crawling from validity, swallow pride and beg to die
Shame, falling from the entity, no sun, no light, to take you there

Somewhere we will fall, the nightmare comes alive

Somewhere down the line they'll meet again
His love, she could never reap the fire
He's waiting here for her, forevermore and then he will wait another year

The look of deceit on her face tells it all, related to the witch of the lore
Incestuous tale of a priest and his kin, a sister giving birth to twins

He must depart to his home
Never to return
He will find your answers there
Travel with concern

A eulogy of caution with a passion for the dead, that will fall into the pool of the bled
Sanctuary's calling for the beasts of fallen children and they perish in the arms of the dead

They perish in the arms of the dead

Rise, crawling from validity, swallow pride and beg to die
Shame, falling from the entity, no sun, no light, to take...
You there

Somewhere we will fall, the nightmare comes alive
Somewhere we will fall, the nightmare comes alive
