Imagine if there was a dream upon your stage
And all the time, a battle raged on within you How could you end the war for good? Amethyst valley bound engulfing every sound Silence, never close to enough Conquest maybe just too much Insight in the clutches of heart and soul Dreamscapes, you cannot outshine the firestorm Struggle to see, night and day or, blackness fills the sky Entrapped within the, blinded by the brightness of your eyes All of the wasting, all of the wanting, beating down your walls As your heart burns in the flames of the firestorm Wait for the match to spark the flame A way to find warmth and shelter once again Fathom, tomorrow's yesterday Apprehension, firestorm burns its way Feel like sense has found its way, phoenix defiance that it's made Waiting for our prophets hope to come, knowing that we'd surely die In the firestorm Struggle to see, night and day or, blackness fills the sky Entrapped within the, blinded by the brightness of your eyes All of the wasting, all of the wanting, beating down your walls As your heart burns in the flames of the firestorm Fighting a need to escape, and twisting these bars that I have made Soldier, soldier, soldier, screaming to begin Deep pain, it happens all again Struggle to see, night and day or, blackness fills the sky Entrapped within the, blinded by the brightness of your eyes All of the wasting, all of the wanting, beating down your walls As your heart burns in the flames of the firestorm |

I can feel, how do you know
I can stand, I will make you fall There is a way, they'll all stare and laugh at you I will pray, maybe then you'll realize That: when you wake up and you feel it You find that there's nowhere to run What's the matter, do you have a headache where your mind used to be Come on now, it's not like you, it seems you're out of control Think fast, you lack soul kid, now it's a mind game, me and you You are here, when did you realize I will fight, what happened all this time I get the impression here that you don't understand I have to tell you son this game will never end And all you'll see someday is an old man asking why Why he never found himself, what happened to his life And then you will wake up and feel it, it's a mind game You'll pay, you'll regret this, forget it now, you'll never get it There is no need here now to make you understand A little boy, a frightened child are trapped within this man I will talk about this game for a lifetime to come And everyone will think of you when they think of giving up When they do, I'll be there playing the game that I played with you Let me tell you who I am, I am your fears, I am your nightmare, I am you Saddened eyes and broken dreams, something's inside my bottle All the things that make me the things that forced the night on All this time I have listened to you, I played the game, I've lived it Get out your soul-sucking sacrifice, I can't take it one more minute Yes here it comes again another fact on fiction I'm another man in another life, the world of no restrictions Saddened eyes and broken dreams, something's inside my bottle All the things that made me proud, the things that forced the night on There is a way, yes I know |

Isn't it strange, how I can hear you now
They never hear your screams no matter how loud they are But all your sins are gone and all your pain is over And we are both in trouble now, damned to this hell forever Isn't it strange how I can still hear you I'm just like you I don't want to be here in this nightmare without you You are the one who showed me it wasn't real Now that you're gone, I'm really gone too And I wish they all could see Depression's the symptom it's not the disease It's closing in on me like the millions who begged to be free Isn't it strange Where is the old man to calm me and keep me from my pain He's always there searching for a way to help you Make you stronger, so he says, or to tear you down He's a killer, he's a fugitive, he's a liar, in cover of the night They call him Mr. Suicide, grab his hand he'll take you on the ultimate ride Mr. Suicide, grab his hand he'll take you on the ultimate fucking ride Isn't it strange |

Eyes so cold, hope so far away
The vision never goes away A prison called my home, these same four walls I wish I could turn back time I know that feeling when all else is gone And I will be here for you to take you within the final song Despair and loneliness, as fleeting as a kiss fades with sound And you can bask in the mist, emotionless, desire's going round and round Memories set in, the sound of the wind The tales of despair plague me There's no way out of here, there's no light for me I'm just a man with his dreams all gone I know that feeling when all else has gone And I will be here for you to take you within the final song Despair and loneliness, as fleeting as a kiss whispers without sound And you can bask in the mist, emotion bliss, desire's going round and round Despair and loneliness, as fleeting as a kiss it fades without sound And you can bask in the mist, emotionless, desire's going round and round Light I want to be near you So come tonight I can't see you Fades without sound |

The smoky mist it hovered over the distant echoes of your voice flow through
my soul The wind blows silent like a mystery standing on a mountain top within my dream They comfort me And I don't know how I'm supposed to feel None of this makes any sense at all to me Lullabies sung by a distant memory, seems to hold me when I'm down In this world of quiet sadness Golden chalices filled with madness they come for me Broken hearts lie all around me A flowing pastel red upon the ground in the place I'm in I gazed up into the night sky Shivering cold from a brave man's destiny As I opened up my eyes a strange light seemed to shine all over me I heard this voice from nowhere surrounding all that wasn't there Confirming all believing it was the time it said You have to: Crawl, crawl before you walk, walk before you run, run before you die You have to feel, feel before you hurt, hurt before you learn, learn before you try I feel like a wheel turning, turning on midnight - distorted - faces I feel like a wheel lights up my eyes, happiness befalls me in some peculiar way I feel like a wheel turning, turning on midnight You have to: Crawl, crawl before you walk, walk before you run, run before you die You have to feel, feel before you hurt, hurt before you learn, learn before you try Now the mist was clearing I could see the stars that lit the sky I waited silent calls for a voice, a vision I could not find Never heard but I wasn't jaded and that voice of reason never left my mind You have to: Crawl, crawl before you walk, walk before you run, run before you die You have to feel, feel before you hurt, hurt before you learn, learn before you try Oh no it's looking right at us but you don't have to like this |

Now's the time to hold the wind
The fire, the flames, the beast of prey And the viper must feed Hey you foolish one do you think it breaks my heart To see, see you bleed after you tore at me: as the viper feeds Think before you do, no, not you, you play to lose And hell it's more than hurt, it's more than just a word You can't just walk away: the viper will feed Hold on to my hand we'll watch this once again Eat, fill yourself oh viper Sink your teeth into subjugated meat Tear down their will please, viper But now we can get through, my viper's near, all over you My hate is spewing forth with lightning force, I must eat So the viper has got to feed Hold on to my hand we'll watch this once again Eat, fill yourself my viper Sink your teeth into sacrificial meat Tear down their will please, viper Now's the time to hold the wind The fire, the flames, the beast of prey And the viper must feed |

Faith has no meaning
On the shores of mediocrity Oh can't you see That your faith is meant to falter In the depths of hell Oh can't you tell That when the keys of the palace are denied Their worth is justly tried And yes, you do mean something to me And I will fight to the death until you are free And the race is finally won United together as one You must have faith |

Do problems have endings where are you now
In my gravest hour of need Soldier, all you do when I come to see you Is point the way and tell me that I must believe So crying deep inside I push into the shadows Waiting for the end to show Soldier, can you tell me even to sedate me Who is my fortune and who the hell is my foe And yes the star is rising higher But must I pay with so much pain and the passage it changes Moving its walls low enough to meet the ground, the passage it changes Throwing at us darkness and forcing us to lose gained ground And yes the star is getting clearer But must I pay with the torment of my brain As I make my stand and take the endless journey I know I'm all alone again Fighter of the faith, defender of the Journey As I walk into the distance I see a full moon rising And demons of the freedom make their stand Having no choice I run the other way Swearing not to give up and never to meet their demands And yes the star is getting bluer But still it seems far beyond my reach and the passage it changes Moving its halls until there is no way out, the passage it changes Throwing in decoys, always leaving that doubt And yes the star is getting closer And yes I do have to pay with far too much pain Do problems have endings where are you now In my gravest hour of need Soldier, all you do when I come to see you Is point the way and tell me that I must believe |

First of all, thank you all for coming here
I'm really glad to see you all again Looking down upon this place it's hard to believe I'm here I thought I should say goodbye once again For all of those who knew me I hope I didn't let you down For all of those who loved me There was a different side you found In my life I've struggled to be the best I could I had my doubts, I cried a lot, more than any person should And I felt you all should know now There was a side of me not known Sometimes I was laughing When I didn't want to be alone I was alright most of the time I was alright most of the time Whenever you are lonely And you just break down and cry Whenever you feel a gentle breeze It will be me that's passing by I love you all look after each other Don't let your dreams go away Cause I'm up here now and I'm talking with God And he said everything will be OK Protect those people I love God Because I'm no longer there Tell them all how I feel Tell them that I cared One day we will meet again On some other distant plane And I will take you in my arms And be close to you again And oh, I'll pray for you all Oh, oh is seems that night time always falls In this place we're in, in this place we're in |

It's 10:00 AM, it's time to rise, make sense of the world again
My pain is too great to hide Oh I feel it, yes I see it, almost as if time had saved the day Not a matter I decide But down here time goes slow Down here time goes slow The forgotten people and the dreamers that it left behind Down here time goes slow Down here time goes slow Burning feeling, romantic pressures seem to be right here And so the story goes When I told of this, a casual look of care But the feeling, doesn't lie, I was alone now: Not a matter to decide to bare And how do I fight against the feelings from an iron soul? And how far did you come on the quest of the story told? Down here time goes slow Down here time goes slow Acting on its captors as if they should never know That down here time goes slow Down here time goes slow Now I'm feeling, slowly tortured, abiding to the task Feeling captured, repeated torture I take off the sadist mask Eternity (X) will you ever do me wrong? Down here time goes slow Down here time goes slow Hoping that one day maybe the world will know That down here time goes slow Down here time goes slow |

A million thoughts have passed me by, it's hard to keep the rhythm
Someone like me is gonna lick it clean I'm gonna fuck up the system Who turned out the light, why are these chains wrapped around me The pain breaks the soul, screw this man I'm gonna pay with blood Cutting like a switchblade Pray to your god tonight Oh what a beautiful, beautiful day to die They call these streets the animal zone The slaughterman makes the killin' I'm the saint with the balls to carry it out Hey man what you lookin' at? There ain't no reason for me, to give a damn about the blood I'm takin' God without a cause, I'm sick and tired of everyone screamin' at me Cutting like a switchblade Pray to your god tonight Oh what a beautiful, beautiful day to die |
