Was like I walked inside your mind
A darkened place with no windows Was like through you I saw me A gaping hole inside The words never come out right We must leave this room, take my hand and... Come fly away, at last forever All this can wait All those times we appeared holding out our hands All you'll know and all you'll see Is wrapped within a mirror See our souls all our fears far away from here And the shadows fading The mysteries upon my wall Are there any angels anywhere? I hear the cries all the time Baptized by fire, in the holy light... Come fly away, at last forever Heaven can wait All those times we appeared holding out our hands And all you'll know and all you'll see Is wrapped within a mirror See our souls all our fears far away from here We can be healed And we can be sacrificed, I know (I know) We can be healed And we can be sacrificed, I know Come fly away, at last forever Heaven can wait All those times we appeared holding out our hands.... Do I hear you laughing now? Is that a sword I see? This saga has an ending after all Endless halls...It's so hard to see the answers Burning dreams...A life for me, you are falling.... Come fly away, at last forever All this can wait All those times we appeared holding out our hands All you'll know and all you'll see Is wrapped within a mirror See our souls all our fears far away from here Come fly away, at last forever All this can wait All those times we appeared holding out our hands All you'll know and all you'll see Is wrapped within a mirror See our souls all our fears far away from here |

"Forgive me Father, for I am about to sin"
"My God" Smiling like a glad man Frowning like a sad man Feeling like a goddamn fool It's a con game And they say that God will forgive me Amnesty for repenting here How can he? Hello father, Father please help me, Tell me that God will forgive me now! Listen closely! Forgive me father I have sinned I did another preacher in at confession What's the matter now? Mr. Holier than thou Self righteous fool I'll show you religion And justice Was about 3 years ago I had a daughter, 12 years old She was my life My essence Taught her to obey the cross The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost And the Good Book And your type She became his virgin prize Dead and raped and sacrificed! Behind closed doors In darkened rooms I'm so sick and tired Hypocritical liars You! So you speak for God here? What does he say now? Is he gonna help you? Will he forgive...me? Father I see you wanna know what lies behind this icy stare Don't dig my head for remorse in this, trust me it's not there I'd rather talk about you and where you fit in this And why you all act like God and all that pertains to it You say that you speak in his name but how can you forgive The rapists and the killers? I don't believe God ever did What I need to know here is why God only talks through you I can assure you, Mr. Holy Man, God talks to me too Just not in a million dollar church with gold frames He speaks to me any place, to God it's all the same Have you heard enough information? Hey father are you afraid of me? You should be I've said all that I need to! Thank you for letting me speak my peace It's a wonder Get down on your knees! That's right you better plead, it's the last time You will pray Tell me do, do you forgive me? Tell me do, do you still love me father?? I need to know Has my soul been sold? Is God here with you? Does he love me? Does he love me? Does he love me, too? Confession's over... |

Is this what you are?
Is this what you have become? Reflections of your demise All the things Made for kings You'll find them here Your people, too They'll bleed for you You've made that clear Look one time at your reflection A broken looking glass what you've become We all wonder what's in the conscience of the king Does he think of the dead or the heroes gone? Has he a life does he think of everything? Is he hurt by the word does he rule on the edge? Placate the sinners Vanity is all around you Blood leaves stains for life All the men They can't defend Your stratosphere Suddenly Out from the calm You feel the fear Another glance at your reflection The looking glass will now look back at you Sire do you know what it is to be alone? Can you ever be yourelf? Is it hard to be? What is Heaven like? What's it like to live your life? Is it everything it's all made out to be? Sovereign we're alive and we're here to save your life Tell us what to do here, your majesty Should we weild the sword? Should we fight for you my Lord? What's the matter, paramount, can't you speak? We all wonder what's in the conscience of the king Does he ever think of us? Does he hear our song? Regal do you know what it is to be alone? We will always pray for you in your kingdom on the edge |

I walk alone, endless seas of souls around me
His face it told of the mad existence, a silent story And just how they took him, they tore a free soul down Didn't leave a trace And how he sat and faced it, he didn't make a sound And I watched in silence as... Tears fell like rain, the world went insane around him All those times I wondered where we were going then Out here it never changed, unlock these chains that bind me Oh the world, why is it so hard to understand? She looks out from high above the dark and cold streets There in her room she waits in riches for something to happen Money can't heal her, the hole she feels inside (One step closer) Staring into God's eyes, she says her last goodbye, then jumps to the cure as... Tears fall like rain, eyes filled with sadness, I see A world in struggle for its very soul And the preachers they all pray, looking for some salvation I can't see how we made it through yesterday And tears fall like rain, those child-like hopes of being happy Seem overshadowed by a distant cry Salvation never came, to those of us who saw the story We must always close our eyes and look the other way... Passive pretense, killing license, witnesses sworn to silence Was it meant to be this way? Losing, falling, satan calling, threatening your one and only Drowning in your own sorrow, wasting away All my fears, they are coming And this lonely life I'm condemned to live It can be your home forever.... Losing patience, warring nations, drug infested correlation Is it the life you feel? Victim's silence, caring violence, doctor assisted suicide And here you are sitting, you're wasting away All my fears they are calling And this world upon my screen, it will be my home forever.... They speak again, one last time he spoke the words He said, "I'll be there, just close your eyes, remember always" Then there was a silence where the dream went here, it was over then Another love gone, another heart to heal Hold yours forever! And tears fall like rain, worlds apart they sit and wonder How things could get so wrong when they were fine This world it seems insane, all these dreams are left behind them Does it matter where or why, anyway? And it will be okay, things will be all right tomorrow Afterall, we made it through yesterday.... |

It's time again
Fate demands that I think again About my life and how it feels to be all alone And the wizard of my mind Oracle of all that's mine Comes from deep inside In a closet-size world of golden stories This is... This is my Imaginarium This is... This is the heart that pumps the golden blood Where to? I don't know This is... This is my Imaginarium This is... This is the vent of hate, pain, and love Stay awhile? I don't know Come in, step inside my son Do you see all that could have been? Do you fear what you see my friend? Do you have the heart to return again? Do you? Come in, step inside my son Can you imagine staring at unreality, immortality? Breaking away from all that used to be And it's not even a dream Or like anything that I've ever seen You just close your eyes and the world is in your mind It's a scary place to be Here it comes! Here it comes! Here it comes! This is... This is my Imaginarium This is... This is the place where all the dreamers come Stay here? I don't know This is... This is my Imaginarium This is... This is a world of death, fear, and love Stay with me? I don't know This is... This is my Imaginarium This is... This is the place where all can be one This is... This is my Imaginarium This is... This is the vent of hate, pain, and love Come here? I don't know! Come in, step inside my son Do you see all that could have been? Do you fear what you see my friend? Do you have the heart to return again? Do you? Come in, step inside my son I'm back again And what I've seen and done Brings me down when I realize where I've been Now that I've lived my fantasy Life is no longer good enough to me It's a scary place to be |

Imagine the scene of a world far away
And we are completely unobtrusive A victim of a man, with hope in his hands Reaching for the stars (A feeling gone) Fate has another life to take And here in a place of wonders Never really all alone Happy just to be a number Somewhere in our world on the edge! It's like I've heard a thousand times before By the ones who always chose to ignore me then! Play all the games and fear all the laws That's what gives the people their meaning, they said And here in a lifeless wonder Creating endless legacies Everyone pull out their numbers Wait in line on the back of the edge! I wake up every morning, watch the news on TV I'm numb to all the lies everyone believes I do the same things other numbers do I see the same old faces and (There you are again!) Fate has another life to take And fear has another soul to break And here in my world of numbers Embracing long gone memories Waiting to be sucked under Sitting silently on the edge! I've never been one much to complain I looked into the mirror (And there I was again!) Same old faces always seen before Like a million stranded others, I don't know him anymore And here in the world of thunder Striving only to believe Remaining silent for no longer Screaming from my mountain on the edge! |

Through rose colored lies
Calling you names from my social island Why can't I be happy again? It's the way things are and I can't change them It's the way There is no cure! A lust we can't control It's a rather sick position dont'cha think? In a talk that I had with a man who was mad... It was here, it was there Couldn't find it anywhere It was up, it was down Squares rolling round and round It was crowded, it was lonely A show written only for me Had this sick and happy feeling I was home again It was old, it was new Too many and too few It was numbing, it was high And I was laughing the whole time It was cold, it was warm It was clear but I saw the storm Had a clear, distorted feeling I'd be back again Call me what you will Satisfy yourself Justify your position Money It's a problem It's so much more I can suppress this hole if I try It's the way There is no cure It's a lust we can't control It's a rather sick position dont'cha think? In a nightmare that I had, with a sick, demented man... Had no fear and no love No faith in God above It was truth, it was lies The searing, burning kind It was random, it was fate Too soon and too late Had this wild mixed up feeling I was back again It was death, it was life A victim's last rights It was playful, it was hurtful And I loved it the whole time It was there in my head A lusting for the dead Had this sick and happy feeling I was home again This is the slow part Where the man always finds his way A sad reflection, a resolution So safe where you are, listening in your own surroundings Where are you now, do you have me on while your driving? Maybe your at home, perhaps in position compromising? Then there's the five bastards Playing this song right now Cashing in on my plight And who the fuck are they? Do hey have the nightmares you and I do? All right, it's okay, let them whore me, they'll get their due And how 'bout you? You bought this song now just listen No matter what you think of me I'm the soul who'll be behind you one day Tearing your life into little pieces Hey I'm jealous of you I can say that now but there's so much more to tell I have the resolution, the quick solution to your problem It's a rather sick position dont'cha think? And the love that I have with this crazy, sick, old friend It was dark, it was bright A cold and stormy night It was real, it wasn't there I couldn't help but stare It had started, it was over Looking over shoulders Had intense and lonely feelings I was home again It was here, it was there Couldn't find it anywhere It was up, it was down Squares rolling round and round It was crowded, it was lonely A play written only for me Had this sick and happy feeling I was home again |

"If you'd like to make a call please hang up and try again,
If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator" Those times When there was something inside Something to fight for! Something in you (But) I don't care Anymore.... I've wasted too much time already I can't take anymore of your manipulation I can feel my patience breaking! You wanted me to come down with you? Well here I am!! You said somewhere that I oughta know And you weren't gonna let me forget the pain I left you in I can see your promise breaking! Isn't it ironic? You oughta know!! There isn't anything left in me That your sick, repulsive ways haven't taken away Stop your suicidal faking! Oh, you're so persecuted You oughta know! You oughta know! You oughta know!! |

What have the prophets done to gain the path we seek?
The grayness that I see above it always follows me And the fruits of this life they take on many forms As the fire in Hell's cauldron, the image it always burns And the books See the pages Read between the lines It's been shadowed with disillusionment Just take back what you find Let's hide away to the distant hills never question why When we were conceived to this we were baptized by fire No, it's a lie and it's not mine It's a tragedy, a mystery That we must find It's a call to war, It's a shameless whore It's a fantasy, a mystery It's all you wanted here I know that I can be sure of a quiet walk with you Scenes of distance and sounds of calming, my hideaway is you Dreams are slower, the day is longer, and I can face it too Take me hold me, no one can hurt me, all because of you Sold, it's a fake It's a give and take It's a mystery, infinity It's a world too late It's a kind of fear And it's all right here Don't know the way I feel today Though it feels I'm way ahead this time Seems far too good to be true I know... I know I know that there is a savior when the day is through A passive knowing, a faithful wanting, a world I know as you And fate is a walk I fear to take it's true I know... I sometimes feel I'll never make it through I know... I know Like a child born to survive all, basking time with you Spending hours on ivory towers, could this all be true? Hate, it's a fire It's a bold faced lie It's a fallacy, insanity The disease inside It's a walk through tears For all those years It's misery, your history And it's all right here The end, it's a race In the life you faced It's a parody, hypocrisy It's your one last taste And death, for real Yeah, it makes no deals It's a tragedy, reality No one wants to hear I know that I can be sure of quiet nights with you A face of knowing and understanding, one I know as you In the distance I see existence, I know you see it too You're all I dream of, you're all I think of, I know I just love you No, it's gone Life's not that long It's senility, a rhapsody It's all that's wrong And here you stand All alone again It's misery, insanity You can't defend And now you're dead It's a kick in the head It's a tragedy, a mystery Isn't that what you said? But if you can take the bounty I will grab the soul Then we'll run away together no one will ever know |

Hello, Lord, I'm here again
It's like I feared and then some more It's gone, away Cradle the calm and calm the weary I must put this all behind me It's like you said before Here in silent dreams Understand the way I see it It seems like the world can't feel it I know they don't need to Lord No one takes pity on what they don't know Here in a world of fate The answers they come too late for me The fire streaks the bloodstained sky Drain the oceans and turn out the sun Silence the laughter I have no need for them Anymore It's all been a dream from this day on Holding the torch and torching the theory Reaching for something to save me Nothing I have known can save my soul tonight I find that I'm all alone Same as I've ever known A voice from the edge, screaming something Something from a fantasy Screaming the final plea The echoes they remain... We'd like to take you to a place so far from here A world of lost and shattered men We've seen the world through their solemn fears Spare all the pity that you can Because we all walk on the edge at times Holding on for our very lives Only the ones who ever risk are truly free Only the ones who risk ever fly Now we see...It's a long way down We believe...Is there an end? Ours to stay...Find a reason Ours to leave...Before you turn away All alone...It's a long way home Free to go...I'm really free Time to see...I can see the end Time to know...I can make it through Where am I? Have I really made it here? You have reached the You have reached the You have reached the You have reached.... The Edge |
