A little too big and a little too small
The thing is that life isn't one size fits all So take a sip and a couple of bites And lay back to feast with your own eyes Down down down the rabbit hole Wake up to see the tiny world at your feet A giant surprise, yours alone to meet There's no way up, so don't wallow in fear No need to drown in a pool of your own tears Down down down the rabbit hole Down (She's falling She's falling down) How did I wind up here? With this strange crowd? When will my feet hit the ground? (She's falling She's falling down) How did I wind up here? In this strange land When will I find... Time and time again We seek the answers Time and time again We fail to question Time and time again We go down, down, down... Now let's just skip straight to chapter eight She's tired of your so-called friendly debate The riddles and tales you present to appease Will be of no help when she's down to her knees Down down down the rabbit hole Through trial and error one must learn to accept But that's not the case, here, we're taught to forget Don't you think for a second that the rules are dead What's that my dear? Off with her head Down down down the rabbit hole Down (She's falling She's falling down) How did I wind up here? With this strange crowd? When will my feet hit the ground? (She's falling She's falling down) How did I wind up here? In this strange land When will I find... How did we get here to a place where the notes don't sound? How did we get here to a place that stands alone in a crowd? Take me back to that field that I've never been Take me back to that sky that I've never seen How did we let the sound slip away? How did we let the sound slip away? 02. As One We Survive
Live
The cold hand of the past emerges from the graves of our ancestors Eyes open To your feet Another day of sight unseen Take back the night And let life release This slow death will not cease Just when you thought That your end was near Live for one more night Just when you thought That your end had come Live for one more night Live Live for one more night Watch now The sun set before it rose The moon never once revealed its face It is an icy path to a stone walled city Just when you thought That your end was near Live for one more night Just when you thought That your end had come Live for one more night We suffer as one As one we survive 03. The Gift Of Silence
I've had all I can take
To hate for hate's sake Tearing down what you cannot create The time has come to be put to sleep A gift of silence for a herd of sheep Nature is red in tooth and claw Did they tell you you must be The first without a flaw? Nature is red in tooth and in claw Let it rain, rain all over me Till the water will no longer bleed Oh, let it rain so you will see What it's like, what it's like to be free I stand before dangerous territory Staring the enemy right in the eye If only I could cross the line Seize control, don't let the currents divide The pattern is equal For those who play the game The pattern is flawless Don't you dare deny the blame Let it rain, rain all over me Till the water will no longer bleed Oh, let it rain so you will see What it's like, what it's like to be free Let it rain, pour it all over me I will shed my scales into the sea Let it rain, pour it all over me I will sit there and let you repeat Till your words will no longer bleed Let it rain, rain all over me Till the water will no longer bleed Oh, let it rain so you will see What it's like, what it's like to be free 04. Blood As My Guide
I've been kicked around and dragged through the mud
No tales of my glory will ever be sung The fear we all feel is more than just real It's a blinding emotion we must forge into steel My brothers and sisters we're the true underdogs What good is this land if one day it's all gone? Together we trudge on this blood drenched soil And together we face - we face this mortal coil We will survive At the end of the tunnel there's always a light We will survive If we stay strong we can win any fight Win any fight They prey on the sheep for the sheep are weak And the watchdogs protect us from restless sleep But the wolves and the dogs are few And we are many Survival's an instinct we forget we carry So let us awake to the truth We will survive At the end of the tunnel there's always a light We will survive If we stay strong we can win any fight Με οδηγό το αίμα Ανοίξατε - ανοίξατε τις πύλες Για να μπουν οι ψυχές στον κάτω Στον κάτω τον κόσμο Οι ψυχές μας.... Σήμερα κλαίνε οι ουρανοί Σήμερα το αίμα - το αίμα πέφτει σαν βροχή Σαν σήμερα γεννηθήκαμε Και απόψε θα πεθάνουμε 05. Mr. Cold
Tonight, I met a grinning man in a dark suit
A glowing reflection, to my surprise Were vibrant orbs in place of eyes His mouth never twitched as he spoke to me Meaning no harm, he was passing by In hollow times we'd meet... If you ever meet the man named cold You will feel the chill straight to your bones If you ever stare into the eyes of the mothman You will feel their fright It's as if he knew One day they'd wake and draw pictures of his face It's as if he knew One day they'd drive up and down this place In hopes of looking into his mind We eat, we breathe, we sleep, we bleed We eat, we breathe, we sleep, we bleed We bleed even as you do... We bleed We will see you again... In time The fascination passed so we dug the grave And along we buried all the strange The weirdly eloquent answers to life's mysteries We eat, we breathe, we sleep, we bleed Today is the day the questions stopped Even the ghosts are too, they're too scared to talk Today is the day I thought would never come How strange it feels now that the weird is all gone 06. Dust To Dust
I had to go blind to truly see
What was right in front of me I'm a fool for thinking there was a shot The game was rigged right from the start Still I need to play, to go along See karma's a bitch But she's not your dog When you least expect She'll turn around... When you look the other way She's bound to bite All it takes is a second To fall in a trap Absent choice I'm on a one-way path Racing to the break I will leave nothing behind Take your needles Stick them in your arms Pull my limbs Till you tear them apart Break my bones Hell, crush my skull You'll never take my soul Take my life but You'll never take my soul Woke up to flies buzzing around To the warm touch of your blood And a body...? Your body indeed The disease is spreading, tick tock Is there still enough time to play god? Racing to the break I will leave nothing behind Ashes cross my path I ignite I ignite Take your needles Stick them in your arms Pull my limbs Till you tear them apart Break my bones Hell, crush my skull You'll never take my soul Take my life but You'll never take my soul 07. A Devil Made Me Do It
Catch me if you can
I am faster than your mind can fathom Armed with the element of surprise I slither through the corners of your eyes Pull me inside your wildest dreams I will follow - I will follow In the wreckage of what I perceive I will follow - I will follow I'll take your unwillingness And make you crumble I'll take your hesitance And watch you burn Dancing blindly through all the madness What if I, if I take a little peek? Come out - come out wherever you are Trust me you'll enjoy it There's nothing quite like the sweet taste of impulsion Let your inhibition take a back seat Just enjoy the ride Come out - come out wherever you are Pull me inside your wildest dreams I will follow - I will follow In the wreckage of what I perceive I will follow - I will follow I'll take your unwillingness And make you crumble I'll take your hesitance And watch you burn 08. The Killing I
You know I need to make good time
So open wide The main course is a piece of mind I can't shake this nerve of mine You know I got the evil eye To satisfy my dark desires I'm handcuffed to your filthy grind Paralyzed I'm always fighting with a Pair of eyes So put em up, come and get it I'm on the loose Bloody knife in my hand On the loose And I'm coming for you Sink your teeth in the pain So you can feel its bite All you need to consume To fill the hole inside All this time you're wasting to change my ways You better run, cause Iím livid Hold a mirror to your face And take a look before it's gone I'm sick of all your preaching It's time to bite your tongue I'm on the loose Bloody knife in my hand On the loose And I'm coming for you Sink your teeth in the pain So you can feel its bite All you need to consume To fill the hole inside Sink your teeth in the prize So you can get a taste All you need to consume To make your heart race Sink your teeth in the pain So you can feel its bite All you need to consume To fill the hole inside Sink your teeth in the pain to feel the bite Feel the bite feel the bite 09. Orphans
Knock, knock is someone at the door?
There's no fairytale to read here No damsels in distress Just two sisters that were caught in a mess There's no wicked stepmother or fairy godmother No unpleasant day waiting to be saved Knock, knock is someone at the door? Hush little girl, we can wait a little more The demons you fear crawling in the night I wouldn't let you anywhere near their sight Hush little girl, don't say a word Sister's gonna get you a mockingbird Hush little girl, don't say a word Sister's gonna - gonna take care of you Knock, knock is someone at the door? I have always lived in this castle No one will come knocking I have always lived in this castle No one will come knocking I have always lived in this castle No one will come knocking on my door Hush now little girl, for there's nothing left to fear Open your eyes, you will see things crystal clear There's no magical bean that'll send you towards the skies Just a rusty skeleton ladder you will have to climb Trust me little sister, you are stronger than you realize So go on it is time Time for you to open your eyes As we go through our lives pretending There's no difference in what we decide As we go through our lives pretending There's no difference in wrong or right Knock, knock is someone at the door? I have always lived in this castle No one will come knocking I have always lived in this castle No one will come knocking I have always lived in this castle No one will come knocking on my door (Not anymore) No one, no one will come knocking (Not anymore) No one will come knocking on my door 10. Burn It All Down
I made sure, my dear
I made sure of it, my dear Made sure of the life we'd be living here While you thought I was vulnerable and weak I made sure they'd never again speak A drop was all it took, a drop ever so sweet And down they fell, their fate to meet You see, my dear, you were always my favorite So I made sure, I made sure they would savor it For no matter what crimes were revealed Every man deserves a final meal Burn it, burn it all down So at last we will see the sky Burn it, burn it to the ground So at last you will know You will know why I will keep you safe I will show you the way They treated me like the scum of the earth While dear old mother questioned why she gave birth You see, I really wasn't given a choice I had to give my thoughts a literal voice Come out to meet me by the tree I'll give your eyes so much more to see Burn it... Burn it all down Burn it, burn it all down So at last we will see the sky Burn it, burn it to the ground So at last you will know You will know why |
