A lonely road, crossed another
  cold state lineMiles away from those I love purpose hard to find
 While I recall all the words you spoke to me
 Can't help but wish that I was there
 Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
 Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
 to hold her when I'm not around,
 when I'm much too far away
 We all need that person who can be true to you
 But I left her when I found her
 And now I wish I'd stayed
 'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
 I'm missing you again oh no
 Once again
 There's nothing here for me on this barren road
 There's no one here while the city sleeps
 and all the shops are closed
 Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
 Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah
 Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
 to hold her when I'm not around,
 when I'm much too far away
 We all need that person who can be true to you
 I left her when I found her
 And now I wish I'd stayed
 'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
 I'm missing you again oh no
 Once again
 Some search, never finding a way
 Before long, they waste away
 I found you, something told me to stay
 I gave in, to selfish ways
 And how I miss someone to hold
 when hope begins to fade...
 A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
 Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
 Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
 to hold her when I'm not around,
 when I'm much too far away
 We all need the person who can be true to you
 I left her when I found her
 And now I wish I'd stayed
 'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
 I'm missing you again oh no
 Once again

Sevenfold - City Of Evil lyrics 
Tracks 
 
  | 
This shining city built of gold, a
  far cry from innocenceThere's more than meets the eye round here look to the waters of the deep.
 A city of evil
 There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head
 Symbolic woman sits on his thrown but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
 The Beast and the Harlot.
 
 She's a dwelling place for demons, she's a cage for every unclean spirit
  every filthy bird
 And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
 Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
 
 The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, Myrrh and pearls
 Her plagues will come all at once as her mourners watch her burn.
 Destroyed in an hour
 Merchants and captains of the world, sailors navigators too
 Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky
 The Beast and the Harlot.
 
 The day has come for all us sinners, if your not a servant you'll be struck
  to the ground.
 Flee the burning, greedy city looking back on her to see there's nothin'
  around.
 I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to Hell, but we made the
  wrong decision
 And it's easy to see. Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us
  your
 Welcome to the city where your future is set forever.

Jealousy's an ugly word, but you
  don't seem to careConverse behind my back, but now I'm here
 Need no one to comply with me though everyone that I defeat
 Don't need you, fuck camaraderie, this rage will never go away
 
 Hatred fuels my blood, I'll burn ya down (you can't help me)
 One king to watch the horsemen fall, I'll fight 'til the end (I won't help
  you)
 I can't trust anyone, see it in my eyes
 Now I can understand, it's sorrow that feeds your lies
 
 You're on my back when the water gets too deep for you to breath
 A crutch for you that won't always be there
 Hide in the dark another day, the fear in you is here to stay
 So get the fuck away from me, and learn to trust the words I say.
 
 Hatred fuels my blood, I'll burn ya down (you can't help me)
 One king to watch the horsemen fall, I'll fight 'til the end (I won't help
  you)
 I can't trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes
 Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last time
 It's sorrow that feeds your lies
 
 Run from me before I tear you down (be afraid)
 You chose the wrong side (it feels so right)
 I won't help you, let you rot away
 Run towards the light exposing your soul (we won't be there by your side)
 Salvation's dying (somebody's crying)
 We're all gone in the end, sweet child we'll miss you
 No, so far away
 
 I can't trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes
 Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last time
 It's sorrow that feeds your lies
 
 Falling away, can't turn back time
 Burn it down anyway
 |  
 
  | 
And we're at it again, I turn
  around another fucking war, manI don't know where to begin, but I'll start with the radical leaders
 Their steps we're followin'
 
 Running, don't go back and fight, too many you'll lose
 (And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood between the red and white and
  blue but it's too deep for you to see and
 Everyone eventually will take the step 'cause it's in sight you take the
  left, I'll take the right, I fell the hate you've built
 For me and I say pay attention baby)
 
 As they thank the Lord the blind can't see
 Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease
 
 But it wasn't a sin, a sorry life in judging every action
 And as they're feeding your mind with this shit you forgot
 How to speak, how to ask all the questions
 
 The business at hand tonight, make the people choose
 (I see another side in you but there's not much more I can do from on the
  outside looking in your government is listenin' to
 Push you on the story of immortal father mortal son give them your mind and
  all your wealth the cycle will rebirth itself)
 If they had it their way I'd burn in Hell and your future's a fuckin'
  disaster can't you see
 Don't give them all the power when your future's in desperate trouble baby
 
 As they thank the Lord the blind can't see
 Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease
 I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact you gotta make it alright
 Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to (run)
 Running away from condition, I see you but you're running away from
 Your scared seductive system
 
 Most would claim I live a lie when pointing out it's easy to predict these
  things
 Every color has its side, they live together vote and most won't read between
  these lines
 Please help us, please save us of coarse they have control we're all the same
 Up on the cross, crucified their problem drove the nail and let Him rot
 Family and friends, it won't matter in the end I'm sure they'll understand
 Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed
 As I sit up here and wonder 'bout how you sold your mind, body and soul
 Looking at the fields so green I know this sounds obscene
 I see you're living for tomorrow but decisions you have made will leave you
  empty
 
 You've fallen asleep in denial
 Look at the way we're dyin'
 How it ends I'll never know
 Just live your life blind like me

He who makes a beast out of
  himselfGets rid of the pain of being a man
 
 Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
 
 I tried to drive all through the night,
 The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights.
 No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me.
 
 Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
 Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
 My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
 No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.
 
 As I adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights will take me to new
  heights.
 My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite.
 Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right.
 Mental fiction follows me; show me what it's like to be set free.
 
 Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
 Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
 My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
 No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.
 
 So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.
 Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they
  seem.
 
 Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
 These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today.
 
 Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die,
 We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives.
 We may get some solutions but more just pass us by,
 Don't want your absolution cause I can't make it right.
 I'll make a beast out of myself, gets rid of all the pain of being a man.
 
 Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
 Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
 My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
 No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.
 
 So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.
 Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they
  seem.
 I've known it from the start all these good ideas will tear your brain apart.
 Scared but you can follow me I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die.

 05. Trashed And Scattered
 
 
  | 
Keep on writing you're just raping
  yourself (nothing can take my mind away from them)Don't you ask about me, ask 'bout somebody else (Once I've fallen there's
  many stories to tell)
 I can feel it, won't embrace it, it's overwhelming how far you take it (Stuck
  in a state of questioning)
 And don't you tell me you know we're destined, you won't convince me, I won't
  listen (Resentment building, you've put our lives on hold)
 
 Trashed and scattered again, I'm feelin' so low
 You waste your breath while fuckin' with me, my blood is so cold
 My destination always unknown, I'll find my way there
 But goddamn motherfuckers always wasting my time
 
 I won't be the victim, but the first to cast a stone
 Sedated nights to the bar room fights as metropolis takes its toll
 And don't you try to stop me, it's a place you'll never know
 Don't try to judge or take shots at me, I'll never let you seize control
 
 Play your game you better walk away cause your integrity don't mean shit
 Crawl on me you fucking parasite, and I'm gonna take you out
 
 Label me, that's fine, I'll be somebody else (Nothing in front of me but
  holes ahead)
 Lie about my life, have a story to tell (Lights went down, was on the edge
  and I fell)
 Oh you're so insightful, let me remind you to twist and break me, should make
  you worried (Long way to go and you're right there)
 Two-faced liar, don't try and know me, deceit brings fire, makes sure you
  can't breathe (Pick at pieces of my body below)
 
 I never bothered with all the rumors, too much garbage (all the same)
 (I know my destination)
 I'll stand right here, come on you falsehood deceitful liar (There's no
  shame)
 Don't ever take my side, I know you're never right, I'll justify the means
  (Nothing's what it seems)
 I'll stand around and fight, but there's no point tonight, been chained to
  this machine
 Trashed and scattered again, I'm feelin' so low
 You waste your breath while fuckin' with me, my blood is so cold
 My destination always is known, I'll find my way there
 But Goddamn Impostor are you out of your mind?
 
 I walk down these roads alone and now you're seen here
 My feelings that I'm having towards you are perfectly clear (I control this
  ride)
 My devils appetite is tonight and now I'm alright
 But you Goddamn Motherfuckers always wasting my time
 
 Play your game you better walk away cause your integrity don't mean shit
 Crawl on me you fucking parasite, and I'm gonna take you out
 
 I won't be the victim, but the first to cast a stone
 Sedated nights to the bar room fights as metropolis takes its toll
 And don't you try to stop me, it's a place you'll never know
 Don't try to judge or take shots at me, I'll never let you seize control
 
 Don' try and get the best of me (No one can help but your own self)
 City makes my body ache (Lonely, don't try and prey on me)
 I feel your world dying, no more use in tryin'
 
 And my body's trashed and low, but to you I'll never show myself or what's
  inside
 And I've seen it all before and I'll settle the score, I'll never join your
  side
 |  
 
  | 
Seize the day or die regretting
  the time you lostIt's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
 
 I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
 But I'm too young to worry
 These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past
 
 I found you here, now please just stay for a while
 I can move on with you around
 I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
 I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
 We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you
 
 I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
 But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
 
 Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
 It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
 Newborn life replacing life, replacing all of us, changing this fable we live
  in
 No longer needed here so where should we go?
 Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
 But girl, what if there is no eternal life?
 
 I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
 But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
 
 Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
 It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
 Trails in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without
  you there
 Please tell me what we have is real
 
 So, what if I never hold you, or kiss you lips again?
 I never want to leave you and the memories for us to see
 I beg don't leave me
 
 Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
 It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
 Trails in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without
  you there
 Please tell me what we have is real
 
 (Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day)
 I stand here alone
 Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
 |  
 
  | 
I slide through the wasteland
  that's my worldMy hunger takes your life, preyed on to keep me alive, yeah
 Mercy's all that you need, mercy's empty in me
 
 Can't you feel the poison rising out of the morning and clear through the
  night
 You can feel my strength destroy you straight to the heart from the venomous
  bite
 
 That's right I shed my skin tonight but my fangs are hard to hide
 And you know that you're going to die, yeah
 Mercy's all that you need, mercy's empty to me
 
 Can't you feel the poison rising out of the morning and clear through the
  night
 You can feel my strength destroy you straight to the heart from the venomous
  bite
 
 I can't regret, can't escape decisions made for me, no control
 Fire that burns and never dies, wrapped around I'll bury my fangs inside
 
 Making my way through the night you're still in my sight
 You're runnin' away cause ya know you can't hide
 My instincts are cold blooded hate; to you I'm the bearer of fate
 Wrong place and now the wrong time, now terror is all that you'll find
 
 Can't you feel the poison rising straight to the heart from the venomous bite
 
 Can't you feel the poison rising out of the morning and clear through the
  night
 You can feel my strength destroy you straight to the heart from the venomous
  bite
 
 I can't regret, can't escape decisions made for me, no control
 Fire that burns and never dies, wrapped around I'll bury my fangs inside
 
 Stay inside tonight - you're out there all alone
 Vanish from my sites - venomous control
 You can't make it right - my appetite has grown
 Lost your final fight - no love will be shown
 |  
 
  | 
Man's becoming more corrupt now,
  godless, wicked, and cruelThe soulless man stood silenced, Mary's "word" rang so true
 Chastisement worse than the flood, spread the word, its all through
 Don't kill the messenger girl
 As if we haven't swam enough in this life of misery
 
 Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
 Fell sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
 Swallowed lies and swam in your own tears
 A stab in the dark and it wounded our will
 We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time
 
 We've grown in numbers six hundred sixty six
 War breaks, a sign of the end, eternally expelled
 Look to the sky for knowledge, the stars align tonight
 Eclipse and heaven shall fall
 Now I know I've seen it all in my life of misery
 
 Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
 Fell sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
 Swallowed lies and swam in your own tears
 A stab in the dark and it wounded our will
 We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time
 
 Dust the apple off, savor each bite
 And deep inside you know Adam was right
 Lust and power, indulgence, no fear
 Left with is sins, how does this end?
 We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time
 
 As the prophets shed the light on what's to come the crowds did gather
 Your time is precious, they explained, no time to worry, Messiah's coming
 Don't go to sleep tonight, darling, hold me in your arms
 These will be our final days and I can't let go
 
 Walls are falling, churches burning, women ravaged, children crying
 Flesh is tearing, some still fighting
 In this world of misery
 
 Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
 Fell sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
 Swallowed lies and swam in your own tears
 A stab in the dark and it wounded our will
 Dust the apple off, savor each bite
 We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time

 09. Strength Of The World
 
 
  | 
My story starts the day they said
  "she can't be found"The news so dark, heart stopped, I stood silent without a sound
 It's over, she's finished, mother lies with my father and sister too
 Cold-blooded, they suffered, shot down by the outlaws after you
 Sorrow swallows my screams
 
 Strength of the world - is on my shoulders
 Strength of the world - is on my side
 Strength of the world - the one true beholder
 Ice in my veins - for those who've died
 
 I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life
 There's nothing left to say
 
 Avenge the dead kill all who cross me in my path
 Suicidal, I never planned on coming back
 I want it, I need it, revenge is dripping from my teeth
 Need nothin', to feel power, and bring the killers to their knees
 Nothin' to lose vengeance to gain (you know I'll never be the same)
 So taste my breath I'm close behind you (so desperate on your final day)
 Sorrow swallows my screams
 
 Strength of the world - is on my shoulders
 Strength of the world - is on my side
 Strength of the world - the one true beholder
 Ice in my veins - for those who've died
 
 I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life
 There's nothing left to say
 
 Sitting in silence with heaven above me I prayed every night by their graves
 While I thirst for closure I feel it no longer
 I can't turn my cheek away
 I stand before you; I'll sin when I have to
 But now I leave your side, to avenge my family's pride
 
 Strength of the world - is on my shoulders
 Strength of the world - is on my side
 Strength of the world - the one true beholder
 Ice in my veins - for those who've died
 
 So far forever now alone, a greater punishment on me has been imposed
 A killer falling from the light, I miss my family, I'll never be alright
 |  
 
  | 
Passion in my eyes, I lived it
  everyday, but how could you go throw it all away?In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true
 As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left for me to do
 
 I feel it burn inside, burn like the rising sun
 Lifted into the sky, took the only thing I loved
 I know after tonight all your power crumbles in my arms
 So don't worry, I'll be fine, when my life ends, I'll leave this scar
 
 When I fell down, I needed you there
 Every note and every word seems so hard to take
 Finally, In destiny
 
 A smoking gun in your hand, now don't you realize what you've done
 Put a bullet in his back, your hero since you were so young
 How could you kill the man who brought salvation through your pain
 He must mean everything to end it all this shameful way
 
 Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday, but how could you go throw it all
  away?
 In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true
 As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left for me to do
 
 I started here so young and helped you get along
 Just did it for the love, and people healed through us
 Don't live you life in vain, don't take it out on me
 You're cracked, so just remember, I'm not your enemy
 I don't deserve to fall this way, by a man who felt betrayed
 
 I felt so down now you're around to rescue me
 Every note and every word I'm listening
 Sometimes problems seem too deep to take
 Sometimes I cry thinking my future looks so bleak
 Finally, together we were destined, I know what's best for us in the end
 Someone hear me, someone stop me, someone listen, why aren't you listening?
 
 Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday, but how could you go throw it all
  away?
 In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true
 As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left for me to do (finish
  you)

Staring at the carnage, praying
  that the sun would never rise.Living another day in disguise.
 These feelings can't be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight,
 on tonight.
 
 Oh....
 Stand up and fight.
 
 The fighting rages on and on, to challenge me you must be strong.
 I walk your land but don't belong, two million soldiers can't be wrong.
 
 It's no fun but I've been here before
 I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war.
 (Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things)
 Some are scared others killing for fun, I shot a mother right in front of
 her son.
 (Take this from my consciousness, and please erase my dreams)
 
 Fight for honor, fight for your life.
 Pray to God that our side is right.
 Even though we won, I still may lose
 Until I make it home to you
 I see our mothers filled with tears,
 grew up so fast where did those years go?
 Memories wont let you cry
 unless I don't return tonight.
 
 So many soldiers on the other side, I take their lives so they can't take
 mine.
 (Scared to make it out alive now murder's all I know.)
 Nobody tells me all the reasons we're here. I have my weapons so there's
 nothing to fear.
 (Another day, another life, but nothing real to show for)
 
 Fight for honor, fight for your life.
 Pray to God that our side is right.
 Even though we won, I still may lose
 Until I make it home to you
 I see our mothers filled with tears,
 grew up so fast where did those years go?
 Memories wont let you cry
 unless I don't return tonight.
 
 Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun would never rise.
 Living another day in disguise.
 These feelings can't be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight.
 
 Watching the death toll rise wondering how I'm alive.
 Stranger's blood on my hands, I've shot all I can
 There are no silent nights, watching your brothers all die
 To destroy all their plans with no thought of me
 No thought of me, no thought of me
 
 Oh.....
 
 Walk the city lonely
 Memories that haunt are passing by
 A murderer walks your street tonight
 Forgive me for my crimes; don't forget that I was so young
 Fought so scared in the name of God and country

Sevenfold - Nightmare lyrics 
Tracks

Nightmare!(Now your nightmare comes to life)
 
 Dragged ya down below, down to the devils show,
 To be his guest forever (Peace of mind is less than never)!
 Hate to twist your mind, but God ain't on your side,
 An old acquaintance severed (burn the world your last endeavor)!
 
 Flesh is burning, you can smell it in the air,
 Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal)
 So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head,
 you're now a slave until the end of time here,
 Nothing stops the madness turning, haunting, yearning, pull the trigger!
 
 You should have known the price of evil,
 And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
 Oooooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare!
 (While your nightmare comes to life)
 
 Can't wake up in sweat, cause it ain't over yet,
 still dancin' with your demons (Victim of your own creation)
 Beyond the will to fight, where all that's wrong is right
 Where hate don't need a reason (loathing self-assassination)
 
 You've been lied to just to rape you of your site,
 and now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel)
 So sedated as they medicate your brain
 and while you slowly go insane the tell ya:
 Given with the best intentions help you with your complications!
 
 You should have known the price of evil,
 And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah.
 No one to call, everybody to fear,
 Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah.
 Oooooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare, ha-ha-ha-ha!
 
 Fight (fight), not to fail (fail), not to fall (fall)
 Or you'll end up like the others.
 Die (die), die again (die), drenched in sin (sin)
 With no respect for another.
 
 Down (down), feel the fire (fire), feel the hate (hate)
 Your pain is what we desire.
 Lost (lost), hit the wall (wall), watch you crawl (crawl)
 Such a replaceable liar.
 
 And I know you hear their voices (calling from above),
 And I know they may seem real (these signals of love),
 But our life's made up from choices (some without appeal),
 They took for granted your soul, and it's ours now to steal
 (As your nightmare comes to life)!
 
 You should have known the price of evil,
 And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah.
 No one to call, everybody to fear,
 Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
 Oooooh, it's your fucking nightmare!

 02. Welcome To The Family

Hey kids! (hey kids)Do I have your attention?
 I know the way you've been living
 Life's so reckless, tragedy endless
 Welcome to the family
 
 Hey!
 There's something missing
 Only time will alter your vision
 Never in question, lethal injection
 Welcome to the family
 
 Not long ago you'd find the answers were so crystal clear
 Within a day you found yourself living in constant fear
 Can you look at yourself now?
 Can you look at yourself?
 You can't win this fight
 
 And in a way it seems there's no one to call
 When our thoughts are so numb and
 Our feelings unsure
 We all have emptiness inside,
 We all have answers to find
 But you can't win this fight!
 
 Hey kids!
 I have to question
 What's with the violent aggression?
 Details blurry, lost him too early
 Welcome to the family
 
 Hey!
 Why won't you listen?
 Can't help the people you're missing
 It's been done, a casualty re-run
 Welcome to the family
 
 I try and help you with the things that can't be justified
 I need to warn you that there is no way to rationalize
 So have you figured it out now?
 So have you figured it out?
 You can't win this fight
 
 And in a way it seems there's no one to call
 When our thoughts are so numb and
 Our feelings unsure
 We all have emptiness inside,
 We all have answers to find
 But you can't win this fight!
 
 Gunning for you and all mankind,
 I've lost my mind
 Psychotic rabid dementia
 I won't be fine
 
 I see, you're a king who's been dethroned
 Cast out, in a world you've never known
 Stand down, place your weapons by your side
 It's our war, in the end we'll surely lose but that's alright!
 
 So have you figured it out now?
 So have you figured it out?
 
 And in a way it seems there's no one to call
 When our thoughts are so numb and
 Our feelings unsure
 We all have emptiness inside,
 We all have answers to find
 But you can't win this fight
 
 Deep inside,
 where nothing's fine
 I lost my mind
 You're not invited,
 so step aside
 I've lost my,
 
 Deep inside,
 where nothing's fine
 I lost my mind
 You're not invited,
 so step aside
 I've lost my...
 |  
 
  | 
My sixteen, locked and loadedAll fear has been avoided
 You say the words and my weapon is drawn
 
 This one could be my last time
 Some people call it war crime
 I may be staring down a lethal sight
 
 (To die)
 Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
 Leaving my fear on the danger line
 Suffering a man should never know
 Leaving my faith on the danger line
 
 I do this for my family
 My daughter loves her daddy
 Too many talk down on things they don't know
 
 With colors never faded
 Reckless and unabated
 They may take me but never take us all
 
 (I'll crawl)
 Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
 Leaving my fear on the danger line
 Suffering a man should never know
 Leaving my faith on the danger line
 
 I know what you're thinking
 I've been there before
 So think of the times, the time we spent laughing away
 So think of the times at home
 (Life without a care)
 
 Now I find myself in my own blood
 (Never thought I'd lay in my own blood)
 The damage done is far beyond repair
 I never put my faith in up above
 (Never had much faith in up above)
 But now, I'm hoping someone's there
 
 I never meant to leave this world alone
 I never meant to hurt the ones who cared
 And all this time I thought we'd just grow old
 You know, no one said it's fair
 
 Tell my baby girl that "It's alright"
 I've sung my last song today
 Remind the lord to leave his light on for me
 I'm free
 |  
 
  | 
Take the time just to listenWhen the voices screaming are much too loud
 Take a look in the distance
 Try and see it all
 Chances are that ya might find
 That we share a common discomfort now
 I feel I'm walking a fine line
 Tell me only if it's real
 
 Still I'm on my way
 On and on it goes
 Vacant hope to take
 
 Hey I can't live in here for another day
 Darkness has kept the light concealed
 Grim as ever
 Hold on to faith as I dig another grave
 Meanwhile the mice endure the wheel
 Real as ever
 And it seems I've been buried alive
 
 I walked the fields through the fire
 Taking steps until I found solid ground
 Followed dreams reaching higher
 Couldn't survive the fall
 Much has changed since the last time
 And I feel a little less certain now
 You know I jumped at the first sign
 Tell me only if it's real
 
 Memories seem to fade
 On and on it goes
 Wash my view away
 
 Hey I can't live in here for another day
 Darkness has kept the light concealed
 Grim as ever
 Hold on to faith as I dig another grave
 Meanwhile the mice endure the wheel
 Real as ever
 And I'm chained like a slave
 Trapped in the dark
 Slammed all the locks
 Death calls my name
 And it seems I've been buried alive
 
 Take you down now
 Burn it all out
 Throw you all around
 Get your fuckin' hands off me
 What's it feel like
 Took the wrong route
 Watch it fall apart
 Now you're knockin' at the wrong gate
 For you to pay the toll
 A price for you alone
 The only deal you'll find
 I'll gladly take you soul
 While it seems sick sober up quick
 Psycho lunatic crushing you with hands of fate
 Shame to find out when it's too late
 But you're all the same
 Trapped inside inferno awaits
 Evil thoughts can hide
 I'll help release the mind
 I'll peel away the skin
 Release the dark within
 
 This is now your life
 Strike you from the light
 This is now your life
 Die buried alive
 This is now your life
 Strike you from the light
 This is now your life
 Die buried alive
 This is now your life
 Die buried alive

One snap for the dyingOne click to end the day
 Another story with a mangled scene
 It couldn't happen any other way
 
 You wanna talk about it?
 I'm begging you to walk in my shoes anytime
 Watch the clock 'til you unwind
 You wanna cry about it,
 It's making me consider that I lost my mind.
 The way I see you must be blind
 
 So this is the world you left behind
 This is the guilt that consumes you
 
 So die alone
 This is the one thing that I won't do
 So say your prayers
 'Cause I ain't leaving here without you
 
 Can't bribe me with money
 Can't shower me with shame
 Another killer from a broken home
 Until you covered me with manic fame.
 
 You wanna know about it,
 But I'm a be fuckin' with you every time.
 Story broke and you're behind
 And when you ask about it,
 You can rest assured I'll give you my best side
 Seems we all have friends to find
 
 So this is the hate I've been born to
 Full are the tales of the untrue
 
 So die alone
 This is the one thing that I won't do
 So say your prayers
 'Cause I ain't leaving here without you
 
 And I'm waiting
 Waiting for the days to slowly pass me by
 (and all the promises I'll find)
 No hesitating,
 You pull the trigger and your story's left behind.
 (I know you wanna see me fry)
 Like my soul you won't survive.
 
 So die alone
 This is the one thing that I won't do
 So say your prayers
 'Cause I ain't leaving here without you
 
 To die unknown
 Would crush the fish lens we all see through
 To kill the glare
 Expose the ugliness we hold true
 |  
 
  | 
Never feared for anythingNever shamed but never free
 A light that healed a broken heart with all that it could
 
 Lived a life so endlessly
 Saw beyond what others see
 I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could
 
 Will you stay?
 Will you stay away forever?
 
 How do I live without the ones I love?
 Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
 Place and time always on my mind
 I have so much to say but you're so far away
 
 Plans of what our futures hold
 Foolish lies of growing old
 It seems we're so invincible
 The truth is so cold
 
 A final song, a last request
 A perfect chapter laid to rest
 Now and then I try to find a place in my mind
 
 Where you can stay
 You can stay awake forever
 
 How do I live without the ones I love?
 Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
 Place and time always on my mind
 I have so much to say but you're so far away
 
 Sleep tight, I'm not afraid
 The ones that we love are here with me
 Lay away a place for me
 Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
 To live eternally
 
 How do I live without the ones I love?
 Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
 Place and time always on my mind
 And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
 When I have so much to say and you're so far away
 
 I love you, you were ready
 The pain is strong enough despite
 But I'll see you when He lets me
 Your pain is gone, your hands are tied
 
 So far away
 And I need you to know
 So far away
 And I need you to, need you to know...

 You wanna hear my side?
 You need to drown to know.
 With all the times it hurt me to fuck you,
 I built a wall with your blood to show!

 Nothing to heal.
 No one to break.
 Pills had a role
 Now there's nothing to take.
 Nothing to trust.
 No one to fake.
 You'll find out sooner
 That it's best if we just know our place
 
 My infiltrated mind.
 My lacerated soul.
 It took me years, create me, control you.
 I left myself for an idea I stole
 
 GOD SAVE US!

 GOD HATES US!
 GOD HATES US ALL!

House full of roses, a letter on
  the stairsA tape full of messages for anyone who cares
 Collage of broken words and stories full of tears
 Remembering your life cause we wish that you were here
 
 Nothing is harder than to wake up all alone
 Realize it's not okay, it's the end of all you know
 Time keeps passing by, but it seems I'm frozen still
 Scars are left behind, but some too deep to feel
 
 And some say this can't be real
 And I've lost my power to feel tonight
 We're all just victims of a crime
 When all's gone and can't be regained
 We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
 We're all just victims of a crime
 
 Some days you'll find me in a place I like to go
 Ask questions to myself 'bout the things I'll never know
 What's left to find? Cause I need a little more
 I need a little time, can we even up the score?
 
 And some say this can't be real
 And I've lost my power to feel, tonight
 We're all just victims of a crime
 When all's gone and can't be regained
 We can't seem to shelter the pain, inside
 We're all just victims of a crime
 
 Nothing lasts forever, for all good things it's true
 I'd rather trade it all while somehow saving you
 It must have been the season that've threw us out of line
 Once I stood so tall, now I'm searching for a sign
 
 So don't need your salvation with promises and kind
 And all the speculations, save it for another time
 'Cause we all need a reason, a reason just to stay
 And some just can't be bothered to stick around another day
 
 And some say this can't be real
 And I've lost my power to feel, tonight
 We've all been victims of a crime
 When all is gone and can't be regained
 We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
 We've all been victims of a crime
 
 Victims of a crime
 Living with this crime
 
 I'm missing you
 I'm missing you
 I'm missing you
 I'm missing you...

 09. Tonight The World Dies
 
 
  | 
Lost the meaning of our stayLearn to live another day
 Doubt the choices that we've made
 I know that we can't hide our shame
 It's only in disguise
 
 Drowning in our own debris
 Fool our thoughts as through we're free
 Close our eyes so we can see
 The depth of all we need to be
 If only in my eyes
 
 I don't mind- make the writing on the wall
 Mother cries- tortured voices as we crawl
 Find me on my better days
 To lose it once again
 In a way
 
 So try and love me while you can
 And take the time to understand
 As long as I can touch your face
 You know I'll never leave this place
 If only in my mind
 
 I don't mind- make the writing on the wall
 Mother cries- tortured voices as we call
 Find me on my better days
 To lose it once again
 But I seem to find no better ways
 To consciously pretend
 
 Silence all I want to say
 With tendencies to run away
 I'll run away with you tonight
 Launder all my sins away
 And just like that mistakes are made, you know
 Tonight the world dies
 
 I don't mind- make the writing on the wall
 Mother cries- tortured voices as we crawl
 Find me on my better days
 To lose it once again
 But I seem to find no better ways
 To consciously pretend
 |  
 
  | 
Now I think I understand,How this world can overcome a man.
 Like a friend we saw it through,
 In the end I gave my life for you.
 
 Gave you all I had to give,
 Found a place for me to rest my head.
 While I may be hard to find,
 Heard there's peace just on the other side.
 
 Not that I could,
 Or that I would,
 Let it burn,
 Under my skin.
 Let it burn!
 
 Left this life to set me free,
 Took a piece of you inside of me.
 All this hurt can finally fade,
 Promise me you'll never feel afraid.
 
 Not that I could,
 Or that I would,
 Let it burn,
 Under my skin.
 Let it burn!
 
 I hope it's worth it,
 Here on the highway, yeah.
 I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you.
 
 So tell everybody
 The ones who walk beside me, yeah.
 I hope you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight.
 
 I hope it's worth it,
 What's left behind me, yeah.
 I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you.
 
 So tell everybody,
 The ones who walk beside me, yeah.
 I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight.

Skull!
 (They all know. They all know.)
 
 Sorry, did I wake your dream?
 Some questions run to deep
 We only, only wake up when we sleep
 Led by the lunar light, trouble's all we'd find
 Lost our way tonight
 
 Is it something we said?
 Is it something we said to them?
 Is it something we said?!
 
 (Save me)
 I'm trapped in a vile world
 (Save me)
 Where the end game's all the same as every other
 We're only here to die
 (Save me)
 I'm losing my only dream
 (Save me)
 I can use some guiding light, some place to go
 If you hear me, let me know
 
 (They all know. They all know.)
 
 Ever since the day you left my fate's been set unknown
 How many years to walk this path alone?
 So much to see tonight, so why'd you close your eyes?
 Why can't I shut mine?
 
 Is it something we did?
 Is it something we did to them?
 Is it something we did?!
 
 (Save me)
 I'm trapped in a vile world
 (Save me)
 Where the end game's all the same as every other
 We're only here to die
 (Save me)
 I'm losing my only dream
 (Save me)
 I can use some guiding light, some place to go
 If you hear me, let me know,
 If you hear me, let me know
 
 Help me find my way
 I said help me find my way
 
 No pulse inside of me
 Stone cold lips and heresy
 All lies and to a degree
 Losing who I want to be
 You'll find out right now
 He may be out of his mind,
 But some day you will find
 That sanity's left us all blind
 and dragged us all behind
 A moment seen through those eyes,
 Crystal blue disguise
 They say that all beauty must die,
 I say it just moves on
 
 If you'd only open your mind
 Then some day you will find
 Insanity left us behind
 and walked right through the door
 I can see the pictures clear as yesterday
 Pictures all my own
 I can hear the voices begging you to stay
 But know you're not alone
 
 (Save me)
 I'm trapped in a vile world
 (Save me)
 Where the end game's all the same as every other
 We're only here to die
 (Save me)
 I'm losing my only dream
 (Save me)
 I can use some guiding light, some place to go
 If you hear me, let me know,
 If you hear me, let me know
 
 Tonight we all die young
 Tonight we all die young
 Tonight we all die young
 Tonight we all die young
 Tonight we all die young
 Tonight we all die young
 Tonight we all die
 Tonight we all die young!

Sevenfold - Sounding The Seventh Trumpet lyrics 
Tracks 
 
  | 
The wind of life and air from
  above smells of death.Angels sing of the end.
 Nothing you say and nothing you try will change time.
 Human race prepares to die...
 |  
 
  | 
Slit my wrists, take away the
  pain.Slit my throat, there's no one to blame.
 Lost in the fields of confusion.
 Restless nights, they're not far away.
 I came here for something and I'm not turning back.
 A calm piece of mind but you still hold my keys.
 Keeping my fate deep within your threshold.
 Petty inconvenience but it means the world to me.
 You have the power.
 To set me free.
 Caught in your grasp, how?
 Just let me be.
 Give me control out.
 Out of these depths.
 A fiery hell.
 I pray for death.
 I've been the wrong one time and time again.
 Now I'm on my knees forgive me please.
 Tore out my heart and handed to me on a silver platter.
 Sew up the hole, emptiness in the place of compassion.
 You made me this way.
 I am the product of your creation.
 Look the other way.
 Now you've turned your back on me.
 You've turned away from me, the future's much to far away to see.
 I hope you learn the truth, not the way things were meant to be with me and
  you.
 |  
 
  | 
Darkness coats us.The smell of fall.
 Changing season.
 The graveyard is alive, black cat across my path,
 the chill of cold wind, the breath of the dead.
 Imprisoned souls.
 Trapped for eternity.
 Black crows break the silence.
 The garden of the dead s alive tonight and you can't stop it.
 Just enjoy it.
 Open up your mind and you will feel it too.
 The sound, the touch, the thoughts, that you've been so blind to.
 You can feel the thoughts of the dead.
 Feeling the thoughts of the dead.
 True or false, it's still there, teaching me.
 True or false, still there, teaching me.
 You can feel it tonight.
 The wood has rotted away.
 Take the time absorb it.
 Their time is slipping away.
 Stone all carved by hand.
 Statues that resemble their faces.
 They still breathe.
 Come join us.
 Smell the burning ember's, time flickering away.
 Timeless but soon gone.
 Timeless but soon gone.
 I can find myself, alone with just my thoughts.
 As time crumbles away.
 As I crumble away.
 |  
 04. The Art Of Subconscious Illusion
 
 
  | 
A living nightmare, asleep but
  still aware.The endless torture.
 The painless pleasure.
 I grasp myself.
 Trying to regain control.
 I experience and learn.
 In another faction of my mind.
 So confused.
 But everything makes perfect sense.
 Can't feel the pain.
 Emotional pain s so much deadlier.
 Lost, you've just been raped.
 Pain. Your friends can't help you.
 Why wont they help you? Another reality.
 This can't be happening.
 Why is this happening?
 Who the fuck are you?
 Who the fuck. Are you?
 Trying hard to figure out what s done.
 I scramble but now I run.
 The images in my head.
 All the problems that I've been fed.
 Punching slowly my mind can't change the speed.
 As my victims bleed.
 No matter what I do or how hard I try.
 I can t use my abilities.
 Use my abilities.
 Art of Illusion.
 My razor sharp knife s edge, pierces my victim's body.
 But I can't take their soul.
 Punching through jello, stabbing not killing.
 Disappointment. Discomfort.
 |  
 
  | 
Black and gray clouds willow in
  the balance as the sun falls.Rain plays a heart warming tune, on the pavement.
 Emotions stir.
 A feeling of warmness, compassion, fullness, I feel at home.
 Disguised by surroundings.
 As the torn and left in the gutter seek vengeance on their mistreated lives.
 As the torn and left in the cold, seek vengeance on mistreated lives.
 A silhouette stands still.
 A cactus on a warm summer night.
 But the rain falls cold and the moon shines bright.
 Black as night.
 Cold as ice.
 Warm as home.
 Ready to live.
 Stars they shoot.
 In a clear.
 Across the sky.
 As does my time.
 Waiting, wanting, feeling, emotion.
 Crying, breaking, loving, nothing.
 Clouds swallow the moon, and I'm alone, thinking good times, and why'd they
  go?
 Falling down, breaking down parts of me.
 Fuck. I need this place to get away from you.
 |  
 
 
 
06. Lips Of Deceit 
 
  | 
The mark I breathe on you.It's burning through your soul.
 The breath I waste.
 Losing control.
 I bleed in pain.
 Testing what I know.
 Lips soaked in deceit.
 Pull me from here.
 No one s innocent.
 So why do I feel bad?
 But guilt keeps creeping, creeping up on me.
 Guilt. Tearing me up inside.
 The innocent.
 An evil in disguise.
 The face of beauty to fall for.
 I fall to my knees, deceitful.
 Brought down by feelings of regret.
 Again your mind has failed the test.
 Not everyone feels the same.
 Pacifist blinded by the game.
 Stand tall. They'll break your heart.
 Stand tall. They'll smash your ego.
 Stand tall. They'll tear you down.
 Stand tall. Scar your soul.
 Break your thought.
 Fuck your mind.
 The mark I breathe on you.
 It s burning through your soul.
 The breath I waste.
 Losing control.
 I bleed in pain.
 Testing what I know.
 Lips soaked in deceit.
 Pull me from this hole.
 |  
 
 
 
 
07. Warmness On The Soul 
 
  | 
Your hazel green tint eyes
  watching every move I make.And that feeling of doubt, it's erased.
 I'll never feel alone again with you by my side.
 You're the one, and in you I confide. And we have gone through good and bad
  times.
 But your unconditional love was always on my mind.
 You've been there from the start for me.
 And your loves always been true as can be.
 I give my heart to you.
 I give my heart, cause nothing can compare in this world to you.
 |  
 08. An Epic Of Time Wasted
 
 
  | 
So much time I've wasted.I can truly say I never thought it would come to this.
 Never would I doubt you, but the truth kept smacking me in the face.
 Reality. You never stopped to think and you ripped us apart.
 How could you? Now our time is gone but it's still breaking my heart.
 Tears run down as I think of the days we've had, and the memories will last
  forever,
 but you and I have died and gone our separate ways.
 You are the one.
 You are the wrong one.
 Breaking the mold.
 Going your own way.
 All I feel, betrayal.
 So much time I've wasted, and I never thought it'd come to this.
 Apology.
 We had something great, then it was washed away.
 We had something more, then I can explain.
 I'm sorry. No! We had something great, then it was washed away.
 No! Not all friendships last, the genuine are harder to take.
 No! Time to start again, hope someday you'll think of me.
 No! The end reality, I know someday I'll think of you.
 |  
 
 
 
 
 
09. Breaking Their Hold 
 
  | 
When you see them coming in form.And they say they do what's best for you.
 Fighting for one total control.
 They are planned and organized for you.
 Breaking their hold. Breaking their hold of control they strive.
 To keep you down, behind your back, the time has come, the end is near.
 It's when you sleep, so late at night, and in the light, getting prepared.
 It's not to help you, but help their cause, under one system, you wont exist.
 They are the few, with all the power, our system screams, we can't let them
  tear our hearts out.
 Screaming, pulling on our pride. Stand together for the right cause, one
  system to our demise.
 |  
 
  | 
Forgotten faces.Lost in yesterdays realm.
 Drained with confusion.
 Where did it all go?
 Look into the past, look into their faces.
 Never, the thought of being time fucked.
 But now they're all gone and all that's left is this blank faced picture.
 Ninety percent, nothing was done, nothing accomplished,
 coasting through life didn't seize the day.
 No one ever realized that they're already dead.
 By the time you realize, you'll be dead too.
 Without another chance to save the world, these things they're gone, your
  gone, forgotten.
 Now your face in my picture frame. It's gone, forever.
 Right before my very eyes.
 And just when I thought I made light of things.
 It slips away, into darkness.
 My life passes now I see.
 Just what this world does hold for me.
 It's getting hard, harder to breathe.
 Am I out of time is that what this means?
 Well that's what it means.
 That's what it means, you and me try to breathe.
 Now you. Realize.
 Your life, flies by.
 Now I. Realize.
 My life, I die.

11. Thick And Thin 
 
  | 
I don't want to know.And I don't want to see you in this place.
 Your kind is a disgrace as I spit in your face.
 And I don't want to hear anymore.
 A friend is fucked with while he's having fun on the dance floor.
 Get the fuck out of here now.
 Come on you kids, stand your ground.
 This is your show, it s your family.
 All of my friends there for me.
 There's four-hundred more of us then them.
 So kick them out.
 Keep it positive.
 Keep it real. Keep it true.
 Together with my friends.
 I'll be there for you.
 Through the problems thick and thin and problems we'll fight through.
 This is to my brothers, I ll be there for you.
 Through the problems thick and thin and problems we'll fight through.
 This is to my family.
 I'll be there for you.
 |  
 
  | 
You live your whole life staring
  at a wall, your mind goes blank sooner now you will fall.You never learned the things you say to know now, but how?
 There seems to be a difference, two different types of kids.
 The ones who go out and the ones that are taught to live.
 One groups taught how and the other group is taught why.
 There's no need to tell you what's in my mind, but in the game of life I'm
  doing fine.
 No reason to tell you which way to be.
 Cause the streets have opened my eyes to see.
 Look what's happening now.
 What are the reasons why and how?
 And don't you think it sounds stupid when someone's treated
 different cause they're not the same as me or you?
 |  
 
13. Shattered By Broken Dreams 
 
  | 
I see you fading away from us.I'll miss you very much.
 Room with empty bottles, broken dreams, and pride still running high, always
  on your side.
 But I wanted more for you.
 You can't go on this way.
 And now I see it all fall through.
 We pray for better days.
 Stuck alone and scared.
 Throw your life away and now choking on your pride may be the only way.
 I don't want to see you like this.
 We all tried to save you but missed.
 I still feel the hope on your road.
 Now come back to us like the days of the old.
 I still feel you there, trying to get on top.
 You'll always have my support, in my heart.
 People you've hurt.
 Friends that you've lied to.
 But we understand, and that s not (you) can see the end of the road,
 I can see it too, for you, I'm scared, if I lose you, I'm not prepared.
 This time, if you die.
 I watch you, right before my eyes.
 Just trust me, and listen.
 You have no self control.
 This will take your life.
 Overdose and then indulge until you die.
 Pondering, we all ask the question why.
 Broken home, and then abandoned by your dad.
 And we are left the only family that you've ever had.
 Help you see it through.
 Fight this me and you.
 Reaching deep inside.
 Problems not just you is what we find.
 Our friendship makes it mine.

02. Unholy Confessions 
 
  | 
"I'll try," she said as
  he walked away."Try not to lose you."
 Two vibrant hearts could change.
 Nothing tears the being more than deception,
 unmasked fear.
 "I'll be here waiting" tested but secure.
 
 Nothing hurts my world,
 just affects the ones around me
 When sin's deep in my blood,
 you'll be the one to fall.
 
 "I wish I could be the one,
 the one who won't care at all
 But being the one on the stand,
 I know the way to go, no one's guiding me.
 When time soaked with blood turns its back,
 I know it's hard to fall.
 Confined in me was your heart
 I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me."
 
 Nothing will last in this life,
 our time is spent constructing,
 now you're perfecting a world... meant to sin.
 Constrict your hands around me,
 squeeze till I cannot breathe,
 this air tastes dead inside me,
 contribute to our plague.
 Break all your promises,
 tear down this steadfast wall,
 restraints are useless here,tasting salvation's near.

(give me your hand,blood is spilt and man will follow
 infernal man, punishment too great to bear)
 Conceived and born was one of light
 Rain and dark, the other born black night
 
 Raise your head and taste the courage
 (the one of light)
 Fall from grace, unholy night
 I've come here to kill you,
 won't leave until you've died
 Murder born of vengeance,
 I closed my brothers eyes tonight...
 
 Its cold tonight as the clouds turn grey
 and from my hands to my brothers grave
 You took his side, you took his gift,
 feel the power of a fallen man, crestfallen man...
 
 Far away in this land I must go,
 out of the site of the One.
 A punishment sent from his hand
 a hardship no one should know
 Now go out of the site of the One,
 away in this land you must go.
 
 Where has he gone? What have you done?
 A voice commands from high above this earth.
 From the soil I hear his blood cry out to me
 Murder, liar, vengeance, deceit.

With this ink in our skin we've
  sealed our fate,and the axe comes early
 (only naturally) So what does that matter?
 There's a bed of skeletons waiting for me,
 on the other side
 They're waiting for my next move (next fatal breath)
 Human lives to me seem so unreal, can't see through the fog
 (nothing past a grey wall) see past the stereotype
 Belief, structure built up in you.
 I'll tear you down and the one who created you
 
 If they didn't have One how would they act?
 If we didn't have hope how would we behave?
 Would they still feel remorse
 if they slaughtered innocent beings?
 Or is hope the only thing that keeps you sane?
 
 A good friend once told me you are our memory
 without them we equal nothing
 And all I can see is the place I wanna be
 Suddenly my life was so free
 Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground
 their echoes are reaching my ears
 Nights coming fast, suns going down
 But keep away from me... keep away from me
 
 (it's hard, to keep me in this place, keep away from me)
 
 We may have created the beginning, mentally
 We may have created the beginning, physically
 To the end of our human existence...
 
 I see through you
 The fear that's in your eyes
 
 A good friend once told me we are our memory
 Without it we equal nothing
 And all I can see is the place I wanna be
 Timeless my life was so free
 Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground
 their echoes are reaching my ears
 Nights coming fast, suns going down - confused
 I don't know the answers but neither do you

 05. Desecrate Through Reverence
 
 
  | 
Hard news, taken harder, don't
  look to meDisappointed, we don't agree, I don't need your praise...
 (don't look my way for help,
 from the beginning you came to me)
 Never asked you to like me,
 I don't want your praise (we won't play your games)
 Look down on me, spit in my face,
 you're nothing to me:not to me
 
 Darkened eyes you'll see,
 there is no hope, no savior in me
 (don't look this way, don't breathe this way,
 don't stare this way, anymore)
 Learned from years gone by, no one will care,
 what happens to me
 (don't look this way, don't breathe this way,
 don't stare this way, anymore)
 
 My presence won't be ignored, no not today
 Don't walk in my direction, turn the other way
 (don't look my way for help,
 from the beginning you came to me)
 Asking questions, predetermined answers,
 you won't find them here (we don't want your opinion)
 And I don't want you, I won't let you think,
 compromise is near. 'Cause it's not near.
 
 I'm alone in here
 No more feelings
 Killed my fears
 Don't ask
 you'll never know
 you're left behind and I'll be exposed
 
 Far away, you keep on trying...
 Holding me down, breaking away,
 trying to distance my life.
 Not one in the crowd, but one with the answer
 the one that could change your mind
 
 But it's not true, I don't need you
 Don't waste your time, and don't waste mine
 I'm not your friend, I won't soothe your soul
 And in the end you're all dead to me....

Black enchanting eyes,cut through my heart
 with no regret or sign of life
 They tear apart my pride
 and cold runs through my veins
 I feel their stare from miles
 haunting every step
 and they won't stop hunting me down
 I know the time will come,
 when all around me's burned
 and you'll still see me there
 Asking where you went too
 and what person brought you here
 And why you left the burning children
 cold out in the night
 and calling for you all alone...
 
 Dark in their hearts,
 I can feel it burn inside of me
 Tormented young with no souls, haunting me
 Pain in their lives all they know is misery
 Take these chains away that are holding me down
 
 They'll find you alone
 and your desperate and villainous ways
 Turning their hearts into stone
 they seek more then vengeance
 Look in their eyes your pain is their satisfaction
 Look in their eyes and see the darkness take hold
 Burn for the rest of time
 
 Hear the haunting words
 lost children with no heart are crying
 and your the lost mother their calling
 I hear them crying at night
 outside when the planets are falling
 They want to feel and know you hear them
 
 Go now / Run and hide
 Eternal Rest / In time

Gone...We keep writing, talking and planning, but everything's changing.
 We all know what to do but know one does it.
 Now this time has passed and full of regret.
 Two in my heart have left me a while, I stand alone.
 When they get back, it won't be the same.
 My life, you've always been there.
 Now you're gone and my heads spinning.
 Left the childhood, left the memories, left the good times in the past.
 Moving on your time has run out.
 Wishing the clock would stand still, the world can wait.
 Wasting away once again, once lived as friends.
 
 As time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life.
 The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night.
 
 Never will I forget you, and all the memories past.
 So rarely I get to see your face.
 Growing I looked to you in guidance.
 We knew that time would kill us, but you're still so close to me.
 
 To me you were my life.
 To me you were my soul companion.
 Now you are so far away.
 Nothing can take away the time and the memories we had.
 Come back - to the days when we were young
 Come back - to the days when nothing mattered.

Two nights ago I was shotA bullet sunk straight through my skull
 A friend pulled the trigger that silenced me
 No pain as I awoke, but dead
 Seeing the face of the man
 The time as he lays down his gun
 I knew this was going to take place
 White silence, so peaceful, so numb
 
 No one knows the time they're changing
 No one will see through:
 
 You're all gone to me, (gone to me)
 I've been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep
 Intuition and a warning to believe (I will believe)
 Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay
 Moving on seemed to be somber bliss
 Without one goodbye
 I watch my Mother shed tears
 (and taste the blood she cries
 and taste the blood she cries)
 
 No:This gun has stopped time in its tracks
 Has altered the course of my fate
 Destiny is shattered and timeless
 Closed eyes feel the cold winds embrace
 
 I'll watch you call, calling for me,
 you can't bring back time...
 Close your eyes or look away,
 fate exposed and won't let me stay
 Hope will fall tonight with broken wings,
 descending entity in me
 
 My voice has been taken from me.
 The more I listen, the more I have to say

 09. I Won't See You Tonight Part 1
 
 
  | 
Cry alone, I've gone awayNo more nights, no more pain
 I've gone alone, took all my strength
 But I've made the change,
 I won't see you tonight
 
 Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
 all the ones around me,
 I cared for and loved
 
 Building up, inside of me
 A place so dark, so cold, I had to set me free
 Don't mourn for me, you're not the one to place the blame
 As bottles called my name, I won't see you tonight
 
 Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
 all the ones around me,
 I cared for and most of all I loved
 but I can't see myself that way
 please don't forget me or cry while I'm away
 
 Cry alone, I've gone away
 No more nights, no more pain
 I've gone alone, took all my strength
 But I've made the change,
 I won't see you tonight
 
 So far away, I'm gone. Please don't follow me tonight.
 And while I'm gone, everything will be alright.
 
 No more breath inside
 Essence left my heart tonight

 10. I Won't See You Tonight Part 2
 
 
  | 
Come back to me, this is
  unconceivableBreaking apart the ones you love
 Hate runs deep for what you've done to us
 Left alone through suicide...suicide
 
 I just want to die, take away my life
 lay by your side, please:.
 
 Look at my face you pierce with a blank stare
 No dream could prepare a heart for a lifeless friend.
 He's gone. Nothing will take back time.
 I need him back, but nothing will take back time.
 (take back time)
 
 I can see just fine, you in my life,
 there by my side as it starts to fade
 I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream
 a nightmare full of sorrow
 Nightmare - full of pain
 
 I look back and see the twisted road
 Best friends and despair took its toll
 Take away
 
 You can't be replaced
 I'm left alone with you
 in spirit and the words
 you wrote to me
 
 Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
 all the ones around me, I cared for
 and most of all I loved
 but I can't see myself that way
 please don't forget me
 or cry while I'm away

Dust begins to fall, to the groundThe air is cold and thin
 Thoughts are haunting me as I look around
 This will never end and I'll bleed forever
 
 Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong
 This spot in hell's where I belong
 I've come so far - it's been so long
 Don't know why it started or where it came from
 
 Outside shell is strong - confident
 But slowly eats away
 Like a man plagued with disease, I try to fight
 Through my pores it seems to seep...
 I'll bleed forever
 
 And you sit there and do nothing
 You're content with doing nothing
 
 There's nowhere to run and hide
 when you're living to die
 Stuck alone inside your head,
 better off dead
 The phone would ring in the empty house,
 no one's around.
 
 But in my life, I wanted more, I needed more
 I taste more

 12. And All Things Will End
 
 
  | 
Lived through you,safe with how we lived our lives,
 with how it all turned out.
 (But things are bound to change)
 Uncovered lies, surfaced throughout,
 will make you change your mind
 
 Sometimes life is altered
 Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right
 
 When I see you, I can read it in your eyes,
 fate misunderstood.
 (But things are bound to change)
 Swallowed the lies, can't blame you for,
 thinking with your heart.
 
 Sometimes life is altered.
 Break from the ropes your hands are tied.
 Uneasy with confrontation.
 Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right
 
 I see my world crumble and fall, before my eyes
 I know, I know.
 Dark will turn to light, in time I'll be alright
 I know, I know
 (I never imagined my life could turn out this way
 So cold so black so alone)
 
 Living goes by fast, catch your breath
 and it will pass you by.
 And it won't last, to sulk with the memories you hold.
 
 Sometimes life is altered.
 Break from the ropes your hands are tied.
 Uneasy with confrontation.
 Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right.
 
 
 
Warmness
On The SoulYour hazel green tint eyes watching every move I make And that feeling of doubt, it’s erased
 I’ll never feel alone again with you by my side
 You’re the one, and in you I confide
 
 And we have gone through good and bad times
 But your unconditional love was always on my mind
 You’ve been there from the start for me
 And your love’s always been true as can be
 I give my heart to you
 I give my heart, cause nothing can compare in this world to you
 And we have gone through good and bad times
 But your unconditional love was always on my mind
 You’ve been there from the start for me
 And your love’s always been true as can be
 I give my heart to you
 I give my heart, cause nothing can compare in this world to you
