Nostalgia plays through me
Along with the radio A taste, a scene, a sound A touch is not enough If only I Had known his fear So torn and feeling frighened .. 15 years have passed A sour taste still curls my tongue In despair, he danced the air A life became undone If only I Had recognized A silenced cry of sweet lies Ma, you know you can't hold me now Ma, would you like to hold me now I heard his voice The trace of tears Still live within that moment ... I heard his voice He lost his will One's fate revealed that moment I heard his voice The moment ends So much was said in silence Ma, you know you can't hold me now Ma, would you like to hold me now And if I could I would If what had happened then today I hold you close Not turn away |

I sit and read your story
Mortal image statued Delusions of one's glory Irony masked in virtue When mom she told me 'I'm not going to live forever' She gave this manuscript to me 'To read when I am gone' Tell me what it's like to be Where you are, I wanna be The invitation To this sensation As I read the last few lines I slowly start to realize You have opened up my mind This is completely beautiful And now it all makes sense These words I wish she spoke to me It was right in front of me I feel her next to me Tell me what it's like to be Where you are, I wanna be The invitation To this sensation I need to break away Need to break through Throw it all away Show me how to ... I adore you I won't forget you I adore you You helped me break through I adore you You held onto me I adore you I feel you Tell me what it's like to be Where you are, I wanna be I'm tired of feeling out of place Too many roles I imitate Tell me what it's like to be Where you are, I wanna be The invitation To this sensation |

I never saw it coming
Somehow the heat of battle Sure dulled my senses to the real world Or was I dreaming? She held my hand and knew me She looked right through all I knew Lie quiet, let the rain wash over me now Inside the royal chambers She's staring out her window Tears well hidden by a crimson veil This is the poison Clutching a Turkish dagger By the moonlight I feel it begin I'm wounded, let the pain wash over me now Loneliness again Sits here alongside of me Gotta make my way To where the waters heal my wounds I know this is where I'll stay Too jaded by her deception A trust I thought to believe I just wanna rest And live out the best of my days When I reach Avalon ... Walking to my window I'm feeling weak and so betrayed by all I've lost I'm left here To comprehend this strange barrage of lies By the dawn's early light The war had raged through the night I turned to her I thought I heard her crying I could see by her face Before she laid to me waste That there was someone she's dying for Someone else out there besides me I'm fading, let the fear drain away from me now My fear's been broken As the healing waters poured over me And I begin to feel Feel its magic strengthen me I know this is where I'll stay Can't take anymore deception I just want peace in my heart This calm I am feeling I've never known until Until I reach Avalon ... Lie quiet, let the pain wash away from me now No beginning or end All of the roles we pass on through I looked inside and I saw My soul's my guide, I need to walk with you I know this is where I'll stay The world I've left behind Has no place in my heart I can finally rest And live out the rest of my days I'll never leave Avalon |

In the early misty morning
As you open your eyes I am there Another day in a cold uncaring world Dark treasons cold unhearted ways I stand before your providence Nobody comes, nobody goes You're so bright eyed and innocent There's a side of life you just don't know Draw yourself close to me I'll take them all, I'm not afraid Your faith is all I need I'll simply lay my life down for you And never turning away I'm your guardian angel I'm your guardian angel I dream of a place of simple love Detached from the wicked and the bad Lost out in a storm of sinfulness Where is the kindness we used to have? Have Your life is sworn to me I'll take them all, I'm not afraid I'll give you all I need And when the rest have left you for dead You can count on me I'll never leave, never go Wrap yourself around my world Now go to sleep in my arms tonight So when it's hard, when it's cold When you're so afraid just close your eyes Rest easy child and know I'm by your side I hear you weep Dreaming among the stars And I see your smile in the sun I hope you'll understand Someday far down the road That I showed you love All the while All the while... with me ... I'll never leave, never go Wrap yourself around my world Now go to sleep in my arms tonight So when it's hard, when it's cold When you're so afraid Just close your eyes Rest easy child and know I'm by your side I'm your guardian angel .. I dream of a place of simple love Detached from the wicked and the bad, with love Lost out in a storm of sinfulness, ooh Where is the kindness we used to have? |

I remember
A time when I was free when I could fly away Sky's the limit I sang my song it was my dream and still is today Changes come Changes go Where they lead I just don't have a say Don't have a say Do you remember The time I traveled sing my songs to all the world You were stronger But that's all gone and that's okay, you're still my girl Seasons come Seasons go Where they lead I just don't ever know Don't ever know I know you need me here to see you through I'm gonna make your eyes shine like brand new I'd sacrifice all that I have and more Forever until death do us part .. All those pictures Painted by your hand I still remember How beautiful Nothing's changed you're still the one I'm dreaming of ... Just this morning You awoke and took my hand I smiled inside How long we have here Left to us, we'll do our best and enjoy the ride Good times come Good times go When they've gone how will we ever know We ever know I know you need me here to see you through I'm gonna make your eyes shine like brand new I'd sacrifice all that I have and more Forever until death do us part |

Sit with me in the corner Where the lights are low Maybe you can make it right Maybe you can make it right With all the lights still covered There's something too familiar A little much to hang onto A little much to hang onto What I believed in no longer matters Won't try and hold onto who I once was Why should it matter What I prefer But society slams me Thinks I'm less of a man Now I know I'm wanting To go back to you And I don't quite understand And I don't quite understand Can't deny these feelings That are coming through Is this who I really am Is this who I really am I never imagined this that I'm feeling I finally have something I believe in It shouldn't matter This is who I am But society slams me Calls me less of a man I've finally something to believe in I never imagined what I was feeling It shouldn't matter You don't feel the same But so quick to judge and You don't understand |

I feel my future Tied to my past Why don't we go and leave this world behind Watch me as I wonder Aimless through this mystery Counting all the times You've fallen to the cold You were always there for me Always said a prayer for me I'm drifting in time No reason I find You always come to my soul Somehow you believed There'd always be a season for us to behold I'm drifting in time No reason no rhyme You always come to my soul I've learned to believe So thank you for the slow burn you'be brought to my heart And you are the one Yes you are the one I have been too distant Sometimes just too far away Let me go and leave it all behind Sorry if I've hurt you Sorry for the time we've lost If you could just forgive me I'd bow down before you So that you could see I'm real So that you could hear these words I'm drifting in time No reason I find You always come to my soul Somehow you believed There'd always be a season for us to behold I'm drifting in time No reason no rhyme You always come to my soul I've learned to believe So thank you for the slow burn you'be brought to my heart And you are the one Yes you are the one I'm drifting in time No reason I find You always come to my soul Somehow you believed There'd always be a season for us to behold I'm drifting in time No reason no rhyme You always come to my soul I've learned to believe So thank you for the slow burn you'be brought to my heart And you are the one Yes you are the one |

First, the bad news... Face the music Mind over matter In other words... My imagination run amuck Give and take with inspiration, information, innovation, impossible situation? Worsening aggravation Change, Every change, every step, every moment defined As a man... as a man... as a man thinks Shell game in a strait jacket 12 gauge In a shotgun racket Shinbone, shindig, shimmy for the Shinto Got to do this all alone Wait Better slow it down and think about it Embracing this moment Enslave or free my soul Just to play the game With no guarantee Is what I'll do for now My life's a requiem playing Out of key with no 'absolutes' at all Who promised tomorrow? Tomorrow may not even be here How long am I blameless 'Undecided' in a frantic world? My velocity screaming fast From this truth I fear Where did I hear: 'As a man thinks So is he'? But this man thinks 'Till his moment's gone' Scapegoat to the end, dig it? Whiz-bang In a whirlwind minute Voodoo - take a turn Why not Nuke my head - feel it burn? Wind up where you were If you think about it Shell game in a strait jacket 12 gauge In a shotgun racket Shinbone, shindig, shimmy for the Shinto Got to do this all alone Wait Better slow it down and think about it Better slow it down Take a moment right now Let a man think As a man thinks What a man thinks... (Hey there Budapest) (What about... let's just give it a rest) Scapegoat to the end, dig it? Whiz-bang In a whirlwind minute Voodoo - take a turn Why not Nuke my head - feel it burn? Wind up where you were If you think about it Shell game in a strait jacket 12 gauge In a shotgun racket Shinbone, shindig, shimmy for the Shinto Got to do this all alone Wait Better slow it down and think about it Better slow it down Take a moment right now Let a man think As a man thinks What a man thinks... Bottom line? Get it in Get it off Get it out Get away Get a buck Get a clue Now he just wants more And he feels it Now... No more indecisions here No more time to figure things out No more lies No mortal sin He'll pay up square But he won't get in Too many opportunities Too many reasons Too many travesties Now for the good news It's gonna get... Gonna get wild When you wake up and realize You've still got it all (Hey there Budapest) (How about next time we do our damn best?) |

Father watch me fall
Witness my mistakes I have lost it all I'm about to break Before the sound of dawn I turned my back on you The life in me was gone My consciousness withdrew Fear... Tormenting me Guilt... Won't let me be I chose a different way But there's nowhere I could hide From one end of the world To the other side I've never felt as cold As I do today There's nothing here to hold No reason I should stay Crucify... Resist, deny Kill the pain that dwells inside Send your word From on high So this part of me will die Can you hear my thoughts I know what I have done You are all I've got And I don't want to run Surrender to your will From the ashes I am new Your presence is revealed Showing all that's true Fear... Tormenting me Guilt... Won't let me be Crucify... Resist, deny Kill the pain that dwells inside Send your word From on high So this part of me will die Crucify... Resist, deny Kill the pain that dwells inside Send your word From on high So this part of me will die |

Don't want to cause you pain But it's all I ever do And it's driving me insane So how much deeper will I sink So how much further will I dare to go I've gone so far that I can't think Can't take it all away But I want you to know I never meant to hurt you What did I turn into And now... I just have this feeling Sorry's lost its meaning And I feel alone... It's not the same tonight And will never be again I was wrong and you were right Now I have this mess I'm in I can't continue on my own The guilt I carry now is much to bare For Heaven's sake answer your phone Can't take the past away But honestly I swear... I never meant to hurt you What did I turn into And now... I just have this feeling Sorry's lost its meaning And I feel alone [spoken words/samples] Uhh, uhh Uhh, uhh Uhh, uhh Now... I never meant to hurt you What did I turn into And now... I just have this feeling Sorry's lost its meaning And now... I never meant to hurt you What did I turn into And now...

The pulpit the teachers Have warned us Blindly accepting Their words as truth And taking advantage of our trust Don't expect an answer Can't help that you're suspicious Something is missing So you can't decide But you're letting them guide you How can you listen These empty words In their messages meanings Where's the beginning If there's no end Seems you're undecided Fancy dress Contrived rhetoric speech The unlettered masses conforming Rank and file members Fearing change But questioned their own faith This morning Don't expect an answer Can't help that you're suspicious Something is missing Still you can't decide But you're letting them guide you How can we listen These empty words In their messages meanings Where's the beginning If there's no end Seems we're undecided And those that will listen They see their world In these messages meanings But I can't accept this as proof I know Neither one's provided |

What are you getting out of this Commitment, have many nice things But there's no time to take a rest And you're spent In the moment, you never seem to be That time will come Taken from those You should be here, you look on But you're not part of anything there The days and the years are passing Quite the man With your worldly possessions The crown upon you in all its glory Driven around Down these same ole roads You've known far too long Turning around's Not an option in front of you You're too far gone And all the signs are warning him A dead end street Taken from those You should be here, looking on But you're not part of anything there The days and the years have passed you Getting old With your worldly possessions The crown upon you in all its glory Not sure that you know Any more, what you feel right now To look back when you dreamed That you'd have everything you want It's so hard to just to get through So much of the time You were not here, you looked on But were not part of anything there The days and years have passed you Now you're old All your worldly possessions Crumbling... Now all of your time is spent there They moved on And they're not part of anything here The days and the years have passed you And you're old With your worldly possessions All crumbling round you And all it's glory |

It blurs my vision I can't think straight In this condition This dim lit hall Is stretching further Not knowing What I might discover Through a door half open A painted light bulb swings Casting someones shadow Reaching towards me Something draws me here Not sure Feeling Drained Still I am curious Haunts me Taunts me Now I start to Gravitate Remain composed I hear some laughter The darkness in me Moving faster A handle turned A door is opened Ashtrays Cigarettes still smoking And there again before me The painted light bulb swings And see I cast the shadow The one I saw moving Cannot catch my breath Can't cope His face turns toward me Can't be Not me The man in the mirror It's all too clear As I stood there Acknowledged him In reflective glare I don't quite understand Why any of this Is who I am I'm damned cause I doubt It's part of me Trick of the mind Schizo you see It's like awakening I'm in Someone elses skin Molds me Holds me Controlled Left me Drained and empty Transformed Shifting I peer inside Like quicksand You pulled me Down deeper All twisted inside of me |

Fighting the stress and under Waiting for control Let it out Let it out Let it out I accept the circumstance of truth now Too petty I'm facing it alone I've got to summon strength within me somehow As I head into a future thats unknown And ill be left to wonder Could I've done more?

Hypnotherapist:
"Close your eyes and begin to relax Take a deep breath, and let it out slowly Concentrate on your breathing With each breath you become more relaxed Imagine a brilliant white light above you focusing on this light as it flows through your body. Allow yourself to drift off as you fall deeper and deeper into a more relaxed state of mind Now as I count backward from ten to one you will feel more peaceful, and calm. Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six You will enter a safe place where nothing can harm you Five. Four. Three. Two. If at any time you need to come back all you must do is open your eyes One Nicholas: Safe in the light that surrounds me Free of the fear and the pain My subconscious mind Starts spinning through time To rejoin the past once again Nothing seems real I'm starting to feel Lost in the haze of a dream And as I draw near The scene becomes clear Like watching my life on a screen Hello Victoria so glad to see you My friend. |

conscious Strange Sensation
Unconscious relaxation What a pleasant nightmare And i can't wait to get there again Every time I close my eyes There's another vivid surprise Another whole life waiting Chapters unfinished fading Closer now slowly coming into view I've arrived Blinding sunshine beaming through There's a house i'm drawn to Familiar settings nothing new There's a pathway leading there With a haunting chill in the air There's a room at the top of the stairs Every night I'm drawn up there There's a girl in the mirror Her face is getting clearer Young child won't you Tell me why i'm here In her eyes i sense a story never told Behind the disguise There's something tearing At her soul Tonight I've been searching for it A feeling that's deep inside me Tonight I've been searching for The one that nobody knows Trying to break free I just can't help myself I'm felling like I'm going out of my head Tears my heart into two I'm not the one the sleeper thought he knew Back on my feet again Eyes open to the real world Metropolis surrounds me The mirror's shattered the girl Why is this other life Haunting me every day I'd Break through to the other side If only I'd find the way Something's awfully familiar The feeling's so hard to shake Could I have lived in that other world It's a link that i'm destined to make still searching but I don't know that for The missing key to unlock my mind's door Today I am searching for it A feeling that won't go away Today I am searching for The one that I only know Trying to break free I just can't help myself I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head Tears my soul into two I'm not the one I thought I always knew I just can't help myself I'm felling like I'm going out of my head Uncanny Strange Deja Vu But I don't mind I hope to find the truth |

Nicholas: All your eyes have ever seen All you've ever heard Is etched upon my memory Is spoken through my words All that I take with me Is all you've left behind We're sharing one eternity Living in two minds Linked by an endless thread Impossible to break |

Lyrics by John Myung Nicholas: Alone at night I feel so strange I need to find All the answers to my dreams When I sleep at night I hear the cries What does this mean? I shut the door and traveled to another home I met an older man, he seemed to be alone I felt that I could trust him He talked to me that night; "Lad did you know a girl was murdered here?" "This fatal tragedy was talked about for years" Victoria's gone forever Only memories remain She passed away She was so young Without love Without truth There can be no turning back Without faith Without hope There can be no peace of mind As the night went on I started to find my way I learned about a tragedy A mystery still today I tried to get more answers But he said, "You're on your own." Then he turned away and left me As I stand there all alone He said, "You'll know the truth As you future days unfold" Without love Without truth There can be no turning back Without faith Without hope There can be no peace of mind Hypnotherapist: "Now it is time to see how you died. Remember that death is not the end but only a transition." |

Murder, young girl killed
Desperate shooting at Echoe's hill Dreadful ending, killer died Evidently suicide A witness heard a horrifying sound He ran to find a woman dead and Lying on the ground Standing by her was a man Nervous, shaking, gun in hand Witness says he tried to help But he'd turned the weapon on himself His body fell across that poor young girl After shooting out in vain The witness ran to call for assistance A sad close to a broken love affair Our deeds have traveled far What we have been is what we are She wanted love forever But he had another plan He fell into an evil way She had to let him down She said "I can't love a wayward man" She may have found a reason to forgive If he had only tried to change Was their fatal meeting prearranged? Had a violent struggle taken place? There was every sign that lead there Witness found a switchblade on the ground Was the victim unaware? They continued to investigate They found a note in the killer's pocket It could have been a suicide letter Maybe he had lost her love I feel there's only one thing left to do I'd sooner take my life away than live without losing you Our deeds have traveled far What we have been is what we are All that we learn this time (What we have been is what we are) Is carried beyond this life |

Nicholas:
She never really had a chance On that fateful moonlit night Sacrificed without a fight A victim of her circumstance Now that I've become aware AND I've exposed this tragedy A sadness grows inside of me It all seems so unfair I'm learning all about my life By looking through her eyes Just beyond the churchyard gates Where the grass is overgrown I saw the writing on her stone I felt like I would suffocate Inloving memory of our child So innocent, eyes open wide I felt so empty as I cried Like part of me had died I'm learning all about my life By looking through her eyes And as her image Wandered through my head I wept just like a baby As I lay awake in bed And I know what it's LIKE TO lose someone you love AND this felt just the same She wasn't given any choice Desperation stole her voice I've been given so much more in life I've got a son, I've got a wife I had TO suffer ONE LAST TIME TO grieve FOR her AND say goodbye Relive the anguish of my past TO find OUT who I was AT LAST The door has opened wide I'm turning with the tide Looking through her eyes |

The Sleeper:
Shine- lake of fire Lines take me higher My mind drips desire Confined and overtired Living this charade Is getting me nowhere I can't shake this charade The city's cold blood calls me home HomeIt's what I long for Back homewhere I belong The city- it calls to me Decadent scenes from my memory Sorrow- eternity My demons are coming to drown me Help- I'm falling, I'm crawling I can't keep away from its clutch Can't have it, this habit It's calling me back to my home The Miracle: I remember the first time she came to me Poured her soul out all night and cried I remember I was told there's a new love that's born For each one that has died I never thought that I Could carry on with this life But I can't resist myself No matter how hard I try Living their other life Is getting them nowhere I'll make her my wife Her sweet temptation calls me home HomeIt's what I long for My homewhere she belongs Her ecstasy- means so much to me Even decieving my own blood Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles She's taking me to my home Help- he's my brother, but I love her I can't keep away from her touch Deception, dishonor It's calling me back to my home Nicholas: Her story- it holds the key Unlocking dreams from my memory Solving this mystery Is everything that is a part of me Help- regression, obsession I can't keep away from her touch Leave no doubt, to find out It's calling me back to my home |

It doesn't make any sense
This tragic ending In spite of the evidence There's something still missing Heard some of the rumors told A taste of one's wealth Did Victoria wound his soul? Did she bid him farewell? Victoria: One last time We'll lay down today One last time Until we fade away One last time We'll lay down today One last time We slowly fade away Nicholas: Here I am inside his home It holds the many clues To my suspicions And as I'm standing here right now I'm finally shown what I have always known Coincidence I can't believe As my childhood dreams slowly come true Are these her memories Awakened through my eyes This house has brought back to life An open door I walk on through Into his bedroom Feeling as cold as outside The walls disappear To some woman who's screaming A man pleads forgiveness His words I cannot hear |

Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where do we go when we die? What lies beyond And what lay before? Is anything certain in life? They say, "Life is too short," "The here and the now" And "You're only given one shot" But could there be more, Have I lived before, Or could this be all that we've got? If I die tomorrow I'd be allright Because I believe That after we're gone The spirit carries on I used to be frightened of dying I used to think death was the end But that was before I'm not scared anymore I know that my soul will transcend I may never find all the answers I may never understand why I may never prove What I know to be true But I know that I still have to try If I die tomorrow I'd be allright Because I believe That after we're gone The spirit carries on Victoria: "Move on, be brave Don't weep at my grave Because I am no longer here But please never let Your memory of me disappear" Nicholas: Safe in the light that surrounds me Free of the fear and the pain My questioning mind Has helped me to find The meaning in my life again Victoria's real I finally feel At peace with the girl in my dreams And now that I'm here It's perfectly clear I found out what all of this means If I die tomorrow I'd be allright Because I believe That after we're gone The spirit carries on |

Lyrics by Mike Portnoy The Miracle: Friday evening The blood still on my hands To think that she would leave me now For that ungrateful man Sole survivor No witness to the crime I must act fast to cover up I think that there's still time He'd seem hopeless and lost with this note They'll buy into the words that I wrote "This feeling inside me Finally found my love, I've finally broke free No longer torn in two I'd take my own life before losing you" Victoria: Feeling good this Friday afternoon I ran into Julian Said we'd get together soon He's always had my heart He needs to know I'll break free of the Miracle It's time for him to go This feeling inside me Finally found my love, I've finally broke free No longer torn in two He'd kill his brother if he only knew Their love renewed They'd rendezvous In a pathway out of view They thought no one knew Then came a shot out of the night The Sleeper: One last time We'll lay down today One last time Until we fade away One last time We'll lay down today One last time We fade away As their bodies lie still And the ending draws near Spirits rise through the air All their fears disappear, it all becomes clear A blinding light comes into view An old soul exchanged for a new A familiar voice comes shining through Nicholas: This feeling inside me Finally found my life, I'm finally free No longer torn in two I learned about my life by living through you This feeling inside me Finally found my life, I'm finally free No longer torn in two Living my own life by learning from you We'll meet again my friend someday soon CNN report: "news in London, France, Russia and Italy have deleted their lead story, all anticipating the outcome of the man considered to be a member of American nobility. And as you can imagine, as the skies have grown darker here over Washington, the mood has grown darker as well and people here are beginning to resign themselves to the possibility that they are witnessing yet another tragedy in a long string of misfortunes. Reaction from everywhere, from Washington and certainly from around the world has gues..." Hypnotherapist: "Open your eyes, Nicholas." Nicholas: "AAAH!" |

The smile of dawn arrived early May
She carried a gift from her home The night shed a tear to tell her of fear And of sorrow and pain she'll never outgrow Death is the first dance, eternal There's no more freedom The both of you will be confined, yeah, to this mind I was told there's a miracle for each day that I try I was told there's a new love that's born for each one that has died I was told there'd be no one I call on when I feel alone and afraid I was told if you dream of the next world You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire As a child, I thought I could live without pain, without sorrow As a man I've found it's all caught up with me I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid Somewhere like a scene from a memory There's a picture worth a thousand words Eluding stares from the faces before me It hides away and will never be heard of again Deceit is the second [incomprehensible] The city's cold blood teaches us to survive Just keep your heart in my eyes and we'll stay alive The third arrives Before the leaves have fallen, before we lock the doors There must be a third and last dance, this one will last forever Metropolis watches, thoughtfully smiles She's taken you to your home It can only take place When the struggle between our children has ended Now the miracle The sleeper know that the third is love Love is the dance of eternity |

Temptation- why won't you leave me alone? Lurking Every Corner, everywhere I go -Self Control- Don't turn your back on me now When I need you most Constant pressure tests my will My will or my wont My Self Control escapes from me still .... Hypocrite- How could you be so cruel and expect my faith in return? -Resistance- Is not as hard as it seems When you close the door I spent so long trusting in you I trust you forgot Just when I thought I believed in you... It's time for me to deal Becoming all too real living in fear,- Why did you lie and pretend? This has come to an end I'll never trust you again It's time you made your amends Look in the mirror my friend Let's stare the problem right in the eye It's plagued me from coast to coast Racing the clock to please everyone All but the one who matters the most Reflections of reality are slowly coming into view How in the hell could you possibly forgive me? After the hell I put you through It's time for me to deal Becoming all too real living in fear Why'd I betray my friend? Lying until the end Living life so pretend It's time to make my amends I'll never hurt you again |

to moonn6pence from shootingstar(papayeverte)
Live another day Climb a little higher Find another reason to stay Ashes in your hands Mercy in your eyes If you′re searching for a silent sky... You won′t find it here Look another way You won′t find it here So die another day The coldness of this words The message in his silence, "Face the candle to the wind..." This distance in my voice Isn′t leaving you a choice So if you′re looking for a time to run away... You won′t find it here Look another way You won′t find it here So try another day They took pictures of our dreams Ran to hide behind the stairs And said maybe when it′s right for you, they′ll fall But if they don′t come down Resist the need to pull them in And throw them away Better to save the mystery Than surrender to the secret You won′t find it here Look another way You won′t find it here So try another day |

There was no time for pain
No energy for anger The sightlessness of hatred slips away Walking through winter streets alone He stops and takes a breath With confidence and self control I look at the world and see no understanding I'm waiting to find some sense of strength I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart to show me understanding I need to live life Like some people never will So find me kindness Find me beauty Find me truth When temptation brings me to my knees And I lay here drained of strength Show me kindness Show me beauty Show me truth The ways that your heart sounds makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way that your heart beats makes all the difference In learning to live Here before me is my soul I'm learning to live I won't give up Till I've no more to give Listening to the city Whispering its violence I set out watching from above The 90's bring new questions New solutions to be found I fell in love to be let down Once again we dance in the crowd At times a step away From a common fear that's all spread out It won't listen to what you say Once you're touched and you stand alone To face the bitter fight Once I reached for love And now I reach for life Another chance to lift my life Free the sensation in my heart To ride the wings of dreams into changing horizons It brings inner peace within my mind, As I'm lifted from where I've split my life I hear an innocent voice I hear kindness, beauty and truth The way your heart sounds makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way your heart beats makes all the difference In learning to live Spread before you is your soul So forever hold the dreams within our hearts Through nature's inflexible grace I'm learning to live |

A Change of Seasons
I. The Crimson Sunrise (Instrumental) II. Innocence I remember a time My frail, virgin mind watched the crimson sunrise Imagined what it might find Life was filled with wonder I felt the warm wind blow I must explore the boundaries Transcend the depth of winter's snow Innocence caressing me I never felt so young before There was so much life in me Still I longed to search for more But those days are gone now Changed like a leaf on a tree Blown away forever into the cool autumn breeze The snow has now fallen and my sun's not so bright I struggled to hold on with the last of my might In my den of inequity viciousness and subtlety struggle to find the sane Ignorance surrounding me I've never been so filled with fear All my life's been drained from me The end is drawing near III. Carpe Diem I'll always remember The chill of November The news of the fall The sounds in the hall The clock on the wall ticking away Seize the Day I heard him say Life will not always be this way Look around Hear the sounds Cherish your life while you're still around We can learn from the past But those days are gone We can hope for the future But there might not be one The words stuck in my mind alive from what I've learned I have to seize the day To home I returned Preparing for her flight I held with all my might Fearing my deepest fright She walked into the night She turned for one last look She looked me in the eye I said, I Love You...Goodbye IV. The Darkest Of Winters (Instrumental) V. Another World So far or so it seems All is lost with nothing fulfilled Off the pages and the T.V. screen Another world where nothing's true Tripping through the life fantastic Lose a step and never get up Left alone with a cold blank stare I feel like giving up I was blinded by a paradise Utopia high in the sky A dream that only drowned me Deep in sorrow, wondering why Oh come let us adore him Abuse and then ignore him No matter what, don't let him be Let's feed upon his misery Then string him up for all the world to see I'm sick of all you hypocrites holding me at bay And I don't need your sympathy to get me through the day Seasons change and so can I Hold on Boy, No time to cry Untie these strings, I'm climbing down I won't let them push me away Oh come let us adore him Abuse and then ignore him No matter what, don't let him be Let's feed upon his misery Now it's time for them to deal with me VI. The Inevitable Summer (Instrumental) VII. The Crimson Sunset I'm much wiser now A lifetime of memories run through my head They taught me how for better or worse, alive or dead I realize there's no turning back Life goes on the offbeaten track I sit down with my son Set to see the Crimson Sunset Many years have come and gone I've lived my life, but now must move on He's my only one Now that my time has come Now that my life is done We look into the sun Seize the day and don't you cry, Now it's time to say goodbye Even though I'll be gone, I will live on Live on |

All wound up
On the edge Terrified Sleep disturbed Restless mind Petrified Bouts of fear Permeate All I see Heightening Nervousness Threatens me I am paralyzed So afraid to die Caught off guard Warning signs Never show Tension strikes Choking me Worries grow Why do I feel so numb Is it something to do with where I come from Should this be fight or flight I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest Agitated body in distress I feel like I'm in danger Daily life is strangled by my stress A stifling surge Shooting through all my veins Extreme apprehension Suddenly I'm insane Lost all hope for redemption A grave situation desperate at best Why do I feel so numb Is it something to do with where I come from Should this be fight or flight I don't know why I'm constantly reeling Helpless hysteria A false sense of urgency Trapped in my phobia Possessed by anxiety Run Try to hide Overwhelmed by this complex delirium |

Cunning, Baffling, Powerful Been beaten to a pulp Vigorous, Irresistable Sick and tired and laid low Dominating, Invisible Black-out, loss of control Overwhelming, Unquenchable I'm powerless, have to let go I can't escape it It leaves me frail and worn Can no longer take it Senses tattered and torn Hopeless surrender Obsession's got me beat Losing the will to live Admitting complete defeat Fatal Descent Spinning around I've gone too far To turn back round Desperate attempt Stop the progression At any length Lift this obsession Crawling in my glass prison A place where no one knows My secret lonely world begins So much safer here A place where I can go To forget about my daily sins Life here in my glass prison A place I once called home Fall in nocturnal bliss again Chasing a long lost friend I no longer can control Just waiting for this hopelessness to end II. Restoration Run? fast from the wreckage of the past A shattered glass prison wall behind me Fight? past walking through the ashes A distant oasis before me Cry? desperate crawling on my knees Begging God to please stop the insanity Help me? I'm trying to believe Stop wallowing in my own self pity "We've been waiting for you my friend The writing's been on the wall All it takes is a little faith You know you're the same as us all" Help me? I can't break out this prison all alone Save me? I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own Heal me? I can't restore my sanity alone Enter the door Desperate Fighting no more Help me restore To my sanity At this temple of hope I need to learn Teach me how Sorrow to burn Help me return To humanity I'll be fearless and thorough The enter this temple of hope Believe Transcend the pain Living the live Humility Opened my eyes This new odyssey Of rigorous honesty Serenity I never know Soundness of mind Helped me to find Courage the change All the things that I can "We'll help you perform this miracle But you must set your past free You dog the hole, but you can't bury your soul Open your mind and you will see" Help me? I can't break out this prison all alone Save me? I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own Heal me? I can't restore my sanity alone III. Revelation Way off in the distance I saw the door I tried to open I tried forcing with all of my will and still The door wouldn't open Unable to trust in my faith I turned and walked away I looked around, felt a chill in the air Took my will and turned it over The glass prison which once held me is now gone A long lost fortress Armed only with liberty And the key of my willingness Fell down on my knees and prayed "Thy will be done" I turned around, saw a light shining through The door was wide open |

A nightmare to remember
I'd never be the same. What began as laughter So soon would turn to pain. The sky was clear and frigid The air was thick and still Now I'm not one to soon forget And I bet I never will Picture for a moment The perfect irony A flawless new beginning Eclipsed by tragedy. The uninvited stranger Started dancing on his own So we said goodbye To the glowing bride And we made our way back home. Life was so simple then We were so innocent. Father and mother Holding each other. Without warning Out of nowhere Like a bullet From the night Crushing Glass Rubber and steel Scorching fire Glowing lights Screams of terror Pain and Fear Sounds of sirens Smoke in my eyes Sudden stillness Blackened silence No more screaming No more cries Stunned and bewildered Cold and afraid Torn up and broken Frightened and dazed Stunned and bewildered Cold and afraid Torn up and broken Frightened and dazed Lying on the table In this unfamiliar place I'm greeted by a stranger A man without a face He said, "Son, do you remember? Do you even know your name?" Then he shined a light into my eyes And said, "take this for the pain." Hopelessly drifting, Bathing in beautiful agony. I am endlessly falling, Lost in this wonderful misery. In peaceful sedation, I lay half awake And all of the panic inside starts to fade. Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony. "Tell me does this hurt you?" Said the faceless man. "Can you move all of your fingers? Can you try your best to stand?" I asked about the others Is everyone OK? He told me not to worry As he turned and looked away. Hopelessly drifting, Bathing in beautiful agony. I am endlessly falling, Lost in this wonderful misery. In peaceful sedation, I lay half awake And all of the panic inside starts to fade. Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony. Day after day And night after night Replaying the events Did they ever see the red light? Over and over Scene by scene Like a recurring nightmare haunting my dreams. How can you prepare for what would happen next? No son should ever have to see his father such a mess It's a miracle he lived It's a blessing no one died By the Grace of God above Everyone survived Life was so simple then We were so innocent. It will stay with us forever A nightmare to remember |

내보내봐, 내보내봐 Fill the empty space 그 빈 공간을 채워봐 So insecure 너무나도 불안스러워 find the words 단어를 찾고 and let it out 그것을 내보내봐 Staring down, staring down 아래를 노려봐, 밑을 내려다봐 Nothing comes to mind 아무 것도 느껴지지가 않아 Find the place 자리를 찾아봐 turn the water into wine 물을 포도주로 바꾸어봐 But I feel I'm getting nowhere 하지만 난 아무것도 얻지 못하고 있음을 느껴 And I'll never see the end 아마 난 절대 끝을 볼 수 없을 것 같아 So I wither 그렇게 난 시들어버렸어 And render myself helpless 그리고 내 자신을 무기력하게 만들어버렸어 I give in 난 포기해버렸어 and everything is clear 그러자 모든 것이 선명해졌어 I breakdown 난 고장나버렸어 And let the story guide me 결국엔 이야기가 날 이끌어가게 했어 Turn it on 불을 켜봐 Turn it on 다시 켜봐 Let the feelings flow 감정이 흐르게 해보는 거야 Close your eyes 눈을 감아봐 See the ones you used to know 그리고 네가 알았던 사람들을 기억해봐 Open up 열어봐 Open up 한 번 열어봐 Don't struggle to relate 억지로 관계지으려고 하지 마 Lure it out 미끼로 낚아봐 Help the memory escape 기억이 탈출할 수 있게 도와줘봐 Still this barrenness consumes me 여전히 이 황폐함은 나를 갉아먹고 있어 And I feel like giving up 이제 난 포기할 것만 같은 기분을 느껴 So I wither 그렇게 난 시들어버렸어 And render myself helpless 그리고 내 자신을 무기력하게 만들어버렸어 I give in 난 포기해버렸어 and everything is clear 그러자 모든 것이 선명해졌어 I breakdown 난 고장나버렸어 And let the story guide me 결국엔 이야기가 날 이끌어가게 했어 I wither 난 시들어버렸어 And give myself away 그리고 내 모든 것을 드러내버렸어 Like reflections on the page 책장 위에 그려진 모습들과 마찬가지로 The world's what you create 이 세상도 네가 창조해간 거야 I drown in hesitation 망설임 속에 난 가라앉아 죽어가고 My words come crashing down 나의 단어들은 서로 충돌해 무너지고 있어 And all my best creations 나의 모든 최고의 창조물들이 Burning to the ground 불타올라 땅으로 돌아가고 있어 The thought of starting over 다시 시작해야 한다는 생각이 Leaves me paralyzed 날 완전히 정지시켜버렸지 Tear it out again 다시 한 번 찢어내자 Another one that got away 잘못된 또 다른 부분을.. So I wither 그렇게 난 시들어버렸어 And render myself helpless 그리고 내 자신을 무기력하게 만들어버렸어 I give in 난 포기해버렸어 and everything is clear 그러자 모든 것이 선명해졌어 So I wither 그렇게 난 시들어버렸어 And render myself helpless 그리고 내 자신을 무기력하게 만들어버렸어 I give in 난 포기해버렸어 and everything is clear 그러자 모든 것이 선명해졌어 I breakdown 난 고장나버렸어 And let the story guide me 결국엔 이야기가 날 이끌어가게 했어 I wither 난 시들어버렸어 And give myself away 그리고 내 모든 것을 드러내버렸어 Like reflections on the page 책장 위에 그려진 모습들과 마찬가지로 The world's what you create 이 세상 역시 네가 창조해간 거야 |

[X. Restraint]
Freedom calls my name Serenity keeps me sane Happiness -- it dulls the pain Honest to see my place Open to other ways Willingness to understand Justice but do not judge Courtesy for others' flaws Kindness -- it's not that hard Self-restraint of tongue and pen Inventory -- my daily friend Analysis let down your guard Look in the mirror What do you see? The shattered fortress That once bound me Faithful ascent, through darkest fires I've found the path to take me higher You're smart enough for me to trust go live your life now Just keep these steps in your life and you'll know how If you're not sure, ask yourself, "Have I done to them as I would have them do to me?" Look in the mirror What's that you see? The shattered fortress Fly now be free Faithful ascent, through darkest fires I've found the path to take me higher I once thought it better to be right But now I have finally seen the light Sometimes you've got to be wrong And learn from mistakes I live with serenity now Not self-righteous hate [XI. Receive] (Help me be a channel of Thy peace That where there is hatred, I may bring love; That where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness; That where there is discord, I may bring harmony; That where there is error, I may bring truth; That where there is doubt, I may bring faith) Now that you can see all you have done (That where there is despair, I may bring hope; That where there are shadows, I may bring light) It's time to take that step into the kingdom (That where there is sadness, I may bring joy) All your sins will help to make you strong (That I may seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted. That I may seek to understand than to be understood) And help you break right through the prison wall (That I may seek to love, rather than to be loved, for it is by self-forgetting that one finds, it is by forgiving that one is forgiven) Keep all of me, The desires that once burned me deep inside Help me live today And help to give me grace To carry out your ways I am ready, help me be all I can be I am ready, help guide me and keep me free [XII. Responsible] I am responsible when anyone, anywhere Reaches out for help, I want my hand to be there I am responsible when anyone, anywhere Reaches out for help, I want my hand to be there [Dedicated to Bill W. and all of his friends] |

Remember days of yesterday
How it flew so fast The two score and a year we had, I thought it would always last Those summer days and west coast dreams I wished would never end A young boy and his father, Idol and best friend I'll always remember Those were the best of times A lifetime together I'll never forget The morning shows on the radio The case of the missing dog Lying on the pillows at the old 812 Watching Harold and Maude The record shops, the stickball fields My home away from home And when we weren't together The hours on the phone I'll always remember Those were the best of times I'll cherish them forever The best of times But then came the call Our lives changed forever more "You can pray for a change But prepare for the end..." The fleeting winds of time Flying through each day All the things I should've done But time just slipped away Remember seize the day Life goes by in the blink of an eye With so much left to say These were the best of times I'll miss these days Your spirit lit my life each day Thank you for the inspiration Thank you for the smiles All the unconditional love That carried me for miles It carried me for miles But most of all thank you for my life These were the best of times I'll miss these days Your spirit lit my life each day My heart is bleeding bad But I'll be OK Your spirit guides my life each day |

Several years ago
In a foreign town Far away from home I met the Count of Tuscany A young eccentric man Bred from royal blood Took me for a ride Across the open countryside Get into my car Let's go for drive I love the way i feel uptight Just step inside Maybe you'll recall I kind of felt curious A character inspired by my brother's life Winding through the hills Seeing far behind On and on we drove Down narrow streets and dusty roads And last we came upon A picturesque estate On sprawling emerald hills An ancient world of times gone by Now let me introduce My brother A bitter gentleman - historian Sucking on his pipe Distinguished accent Making me uptight - no accident I- Want to stay alive Everything about this place just doesn't feel right I- I don't wanna die Suddenly I'm frightened for my life I- Want to say goodbye This could be the last time you see me alive I- I may not survive Knew it from the moment we arrived Would you like to see Our secret holy place? I come here late at night To pray to him by candle light Then viewing through the past I saw which is believed Still dressed in royal clothes A saint behind the altar History recalls During times of war Legend has been traced Stuck inside these castle walls Soldiers came to hide With barrels filled with wine Never to escape These tombs of old that's where they died Down the cellar stairs I disappear Like the angel's share The end is near Come and have a taste A rare vintage All the finest wines Improve with age I- Want to stay alive Everything about this place just doesn't feel right I- I don't wanna die Suddenly I'm frightened for my life I- Want to say goodbye This could be the last time you see me alive I- I may not survive Knew it from the moment we arrived Could this be the end? Is this the way I die? Sitting here alone No one by my side I don't understand I don't feel that I deserve this What did I do wrong? I just don't understand Give me one more chance Let me please explain It's all been circumstance I'll tell you once again It took me for a ride Promising a vast adventure Next thing that I know I'm frightened for my life Now wait a minute then That's not how it is You must be confused That isn't who I am Please don't be afraid I would never try to hurt you This is how we live Strange although it seems Please try to forgive The chapel and the Sade The soldiers in the wine The fables and the tales All handed through time Of course you're free to go Go and tell the world my story Tell about my brother Tell them about me The Count of Tuscany... |

Live another day Climb a little higher Find another reason to stay Ashes in your hands Mercy in your eyes If you're searching for a silent sky You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So die another day The coldness of his words The message in his silence Face the candle to the wind This distance in my voice isn't leaving you a choice So if you're looking for a time to run away You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So die another day They took pictures of our dreams Ran to hide behind the stairs And said maybe when it's right for you they'll fall But if they don't come down Resist the need to pull them in And throw them away Better to save the mystery than surrender to the secret You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So die another day |

High noon
Oh Id sell my soul for water Nine years worth Of breakin my back Theres no sun in the shadow of the wizard See how he glides Why hes lighter than air Oh I see his face Where is your star Is it far, is it far, is it far When do we leave I believe, yes, I believe * in the heat and the rain With whips and chains Just to see him fly So many die We built a tower of stone With out flesh and bone Just to see him fly Dont know why Now where do we go Hot wind moving fast across the desert We feel that our time has arrived The world spins while we put his wing together A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky Oh I see his face Where is your star It is far, is it far, is it far When do we leave, yeah I believe, I believe * All eyes see the figure of the wizard As he climbs to the top of the world No sound as he falls instead of rising Time standing still Then theres blood on the sand Oh I see his face Where was your star Was it far, was it far When did we leave We believe, we believe, we believe In the heat and rain With whips and chains To see him fly So many die We built a tower of stone With out flesh and bone To see him fly But why, it dont rain With all our chains, Did so many die Just to see him fly Look at my flesh and bone Now look, look, look, look Look at this tower of stone I see a rainbow rising Look there on the horizon And Im coming home Coming home, Im coming home Time is standing still He gave me back my will Oh, oh, oh, oh Going home Im going home My eyes are bleeding And my heart is weeping We still hope, we still hope, oh Take me back He gave me back my will Oh, oh, oh, oh Going home Im going home My eyes are bleeding And my heart is weeping We still hope, we still hope, oh Take me back, take me back Back to my home, oh, oh... |

Tenement Funster:
My new purple shoes Been amazin' the people next door And my rock'n'roll forty fives Bin enragin' the folks on the lower floor I got a way with the girls on my block Try my best to be a real individual And when we go down to smokies and rock They line up like it's some kind of ritual Oh give me a good guitar And you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or just find me an open car I'll make the speed of light outa this place I like the good things in life But most of the best things ain't free It's the same situation just cuts like a knife When you're young and you're poor and you're crazy Young and you're crazy... Oh give me a good guitar And you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or just find me an open car I'll make the speed of light outa this place Flick Of The Wrist: Dislocate your spine if you don't sign He says I'll have you seeing double Mesmerize you when he's tongue tied Simply with those eyes ooh Synchronize your minds and see The beast within him rise Don't look back don't look back It's a rip off Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby Blow him a kiss and you're mad Flick of the wrist he'll eat your heart out A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head He's taken an arm and taken a leg All this time honey baby you've been had Intoxicate your brain with what I'm sayin' If not you'll lie in knee deep trouble Prostitute yourself he says Castrate your human pride ooh Sacrifice your leisure days Let me squeeze you 'till you've dried Don't look back don't look back It's a rip off Work my fingers to my bones I scream with pain I still make no impression Seduce you with his money make machine Cross collateralise big time money money Reduce you to a muzak fake machine Then the last goodbye Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby Blow him a kiss and you're mad Flick of the wrist he'll eat your heart out A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head He's taken an arm and taken a leg All this time honey baby you've been had Lily Of The Valley: Baby you've been had I am forever searching high and low But why does everybody tell me no Neptune of the seas an answer for me please The lily of the valley doesn't know I lie and wait with open eyes I carry on thru' stormy skies I follow ev'ry course my kingdom for a horse But each time I grow old Serpent of the Nile relieve me for a while And cast me from your spell and let me go Messenger from seven seas has flown To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne Wars will never cease Is there time enough for peace? The lily of the valley doesn't know |

Take your fingers from my hair
They have gotten us nowhere We can’t last another second For we are two, too lost for open doors Take your memories and your ways Let me see a brighter day Greener fields aren’t hard to hope for It’s just hard to go on living here without you Chorus: Somewhere I have dreamed That you haven’t got the time to be with me Somewhere though it seems That you have been making lovin’ without me Starshine, moonshine you’re the light that shines upon me baby I know, you’ll go find yourself another lover lady Let me tell you how I feel Loving others isn’t real You are blind Too blind to notice That their love is not the love we share together Chorus: Somewhere I have dreamed That you haven’t got the time to be with me Somewhere though it seems That you have been making lovin’ without me Starshine, moonshine your the light that shines upon me baby I know, you’ll go find yourself another lover lady Starshine, moonshine you’re the light that shine upon me baby I know, you’ll go find yourself another lover lady |

He is the king of all the land
In the Kingdom of the sands Of a time tomorrow. He rules the sandworms and the Fremen In a land amongst the stars Of an age tomorrow. He is destined to be a King He rules over everything On the land called planet Dune. Bodywater is your life And without it you would die On the desert the planet Dune. Without a stillsuit you would fry On the sands so hot and dry In a world called Arrakis. It is a land that's rich in spice The sandriders and the "mice" That they call the "Muad'Dib". He is the Kwizatz Haderach. He is born of Caladan And will take the Gom Jabbar. He has the power to foresee Or to look into the past He is the ruler of the stars The time will come for him to lay claim his crown, And then the foe yes they'll be cut down, You'll see he'll be the best that there's been, Messiah supreme true leader of men, And when the time for judgement's at hand Don't fret he's strong and he'll make a stand, Against evil and fire That spreads through the land, He has the power to make it all end. |

Standing on the backs of angels
Destined to create Mounting the attack While heroes carry your weight We spiral towards disaster Survival fading faster Riding out the wave Content to feed off the machine Bleeding us to death The new American dream You're blinded by your hunger Beware your days are numbered Tears fall from the shameless Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water Selfless are the righteous Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter Blurring lines drawn in between What is right and what is wrong Victims on the radar string us along We're on to your agenda The dead end road to nowhere Tears fall from the shameless Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water Selfless are the righteous Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter Tears fall from the shameless Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water Selfless are the righteous Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter Selfless are the righteous Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter |

Today I will be your savior Tomorrow ？ a demon You crave my erratic behavior And watch my every move Obsession at all cost You'll be the death of me Broken and torn apart Why can't you let me be? You build me up You break me down Until I'm falling to pieces I crash and burn I never learn I'm your guilty addiction Build me up Break me down Tonight I am the new messiah You deify When I'm no longer desired I'll be crucified The one who's free from sin The first to cast the stone Fighting the fear within I won't be left alone You build me up You break me down Until I'm falling to pieces The price I pay To live this way And the fantasy stays alive I can't live up I can't let down And leave you falling to pieces I crash and burn I never learn I'm your morbid obsession. Biuld me up Break me down You build me up You break me down Until I'm falling to pieces The price I pay To live this way And the fantasy stays alive I can't live up I can't let down And leave you falling to pieces I crash and burn I never learn Your iconic fixation Build me up Break me down Build me up Break me down secretys님께서 등록해주신 가사입니다. |

I am not immortal I am just a man A power-craving tyrant Beyond the shadows in the sand Men have come to fear me Many bow and cry Known across the desert I am the one who will not die I have faced the demons of our most desperate moments I have been the one to defend our pride I have worn the banner of my abandoned brothers I will be the first one to give my live Lost not forgotten Reigning against the odds Feared and respected living among the gods Leading the empire Spirit as black as coal Lost not forgotten King of the deathless soul An Epic novel no one's read Pages torn and faded The greatest story never told Behold the kingdom I possess Land of wealth and beauty Where the streets are paved with gold Once fearless and brave A realm passed away The ghosts of yesterday Lost not forgotten Reigning against the odds Feared and respected living among the gods Leading the empire Brutal and heartless Vanishing further Into the darkness Lost not forgotten King of the deathless soul secretys님께서 등록해주신 가사입니다. |

[Music by John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess, Lyrics by John Petrucci]
In the heart of your most solemn barren night When your soul's turned inside out Have you questioned all the madness you invite? What your life is all about Some of us choose to live gracefully Some can get caught in the maze And lose their way home This is the life we belong to Our gift divine Have you ever wished that you were someone else? Traded places in your mind It's only a waste of your time Some of us choose to live gracefully Some can get caught in the maze And lose their way home This is the life we belong to Our gift divine Feed the illusion you dream about Cast out the monsters inside Life begins with an empty slate Fragile left in the hands of fate Driven by love and crushed by hate Until the day the gift is gone And shadows remain Some of us choose to live gracefully Some can get caught in the maze And lose their way home Memories will fade Time races on What will they say after you're gone? This is the life we belong to Our gift divine Our gift divine secretys님께서 등록해주신 가사입니다. |

is there ever really a right time
you had led me to belive someday you'd be that for me when the stars above aligned when you weren't so consumed I kept looking for clues so I wait in the shadows of my heart and still the time was never right until one day I stopped caring and begin to forget why I longed to be so close and I disappeared into the darkness and the datkness turn to pain and never when away until all that remained way buried deep beneath the surface a shell of what thing could have been tried bones beneath a veil of guarded secrets all too frail sad to think I never knew you were searching for the words for the moment to emerge yet the moment never came you could't risk my fragile frame until one day you stopped caring and begin to forget why tried to be so close and you disappeared into the darkness and the datkness turn to pain and never when away until all that remained way buried deep beneath the surface I would scream just to be heard As if yelling at the stars I was bleeding just to feel You would never say a word Kept me reaching in the dark Always something to conceal Until one day I stopped caring And began to forget why I longed to be so close And I disappear into the darkness And the darkness turned to pain And never went away Until all that remained was buried Deep beneath the surface Beneath the surface shierad님께서 등록해주신 가사입니다. |
