Unlock the doors of silence
scanning eyes turn into stone pours the wine of hate and enmity Helpless minds dance in circles forever frozen within time then stare into unlit serenity Endless dreams are all encased in disarray Through the eyes of time - I see all the love and tragedy the breath of fate surrounds me and bring me to my knees Through the eyes of time - I see peace and false tranquility although my scars - they do run deep - right here I'll be Blind visions summoned me return under blackened skies scorned and scathed by the spirit's song A shadow forbears warning reveals a rhyme, then descends and falls into the black endless sea Endless dreams are all encased in disarray Through the eyes of time - I see all the love and tragedy the breath of fate surrounds me and bring me to my knees Through the eyes of time - I see peace and false tranquility although my scars - they do run deep - right here I'll be Our inner strengths will fill our needs and heal the hearts that still bleed (Solo) Through the eyes of time - I see all the love and tragedy the breath of fate surrounds me and bring me to my knees Through the eyes of time - I see peace and false tranquility although my scars - they do run deep - right here I'll be Our inner strengths will fill our needs and heal the hearts that still bleed |

A tearless stare
encased by fear like a thread my heart is torn and ripped right from my soul with no control Suits in disguise then fades to red brings a blackened sky to fall and make you very cold while you grow old Gone whithout a trace (gone) it's left me chained and bound my heart you thrust a dagger my life and dreams are shattered and left in tyranny Rapture or pain you spill my blood and take my life away rapture or pain all adversions still remain You've realized you're not alone they've took your breath of life and left your mind to unfold lifeless and cold Your thoughts erased it's death you taste your searing face it hides the scars of love Gone whithout a trace (gone) it's left me chained and bound my heart you thrust a dagger my life and dreams are shattered and left in tyranny Rapture or pain you spill my blood and take my life away rapture or pain all adversions still remain Rapture or pain you spill my blood and take my life away rapture or pain all adversions still remain |

Beckoning me through aeons of time - captured by you
in dismay I try to elude these prisons of flesh - but return to shattered domains There's no image in the mirror Shattered glass impales my soul She's like thorns of sorrow - ripping through my head She's like thorns of sorrow - visions turning red Enchanting me - defying my love - I'm hindered with penance and pain False reflection of grandeur and light - leaves my heart bleeding and stained There's no image in the mirror Shattered glass impales my soul She's like thorns of sorrow - ripping through my head She's like thorns of sorrow - visions turning red (solo) She's like thorns of sorrow - ripping through my head She's like thorns of sorrow - visions turning red She's like thorns of sorrow - ripping through my head She's like thorns of sorrow - visions turning red |

A chill grows near you're faced with fear
a darkened day you'll see it clear your shadows call while you stand tall watch before me while you fall Times are changing, rearranging where's the answer we've all been looking for transient dreaming do you believe in I am the answer to it all where are you heading to time will tell to a destiny that fate knows well so fly away Victim of the silence - wipe the cobwebs from your eyes beware the season - the lies, the treason, the pain You're running in reverse now - while struggling to break free the path you strayed from can only lead to dismay Living a timeless tale Behold the truth unveiled Passion and glory fill my heart Knowing my fate Nightmare of fantasy Untrue reality Learning the lesson as we fight to stay alive Awakened by the thunder - crashing conscience through your mind persistent voices - all evils call out your name Tears can break the silence - let your doubts and fears be heard You're releasing inned peace from your soul Marching on staff in hand falling into darkness carry on through the endless nights calling Living a timeless tale Behold the truth unveiled Passion and glory fill my heart Knowing my fate Nightmare of fantasy Untrue reality Learning the lesson as we fight to stay alive Crying downs your doubts and fears they say that time just might heal the wounds of love it replaces shattered traces of despair looking out through all the years they say that time just might heal the wounds of love it replaces Love will light the darkness there bringing some hope into view it replaces the nameless faces of loneliness that you once knew Marching on staff in hand falling into darkness carry on through the endless nights calling Living a timeless tale Behold the truth unveiled Passion and glory fill my heart Knowing my fate Nightmare of fantasy Untrue reality Learning the lesson as we fight to stay alive |
