Текст песни:

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you′ve seen
so unsure but it seems, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you′ll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light, but girl this can′t be right
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
Arrived too early

And when I think of all the places I just don′t belong
I′ve come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

I don′t belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife

’Cause this time I′m right to move on and on, far away from here

A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, ’cause we′ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you′ll be back here soon anyway

This peace on earth′s not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I’m much too young to fall)
So out of place don′t wanna stay, I feel wrong and that′s my sign
I′ve made up my mind

Gave me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

I don′t belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I′m right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I′ll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right

Loved ones back home all crying ’cause they′re already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there′s somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken; I’m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I′ll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

I don′t belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I′m right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I′ll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right

Текст песни:

I feel insane every single time I′m asked to compromise
‘Cause I′m afraid and stuck in my ways and that’s the way it
stays
So how long did I expect love to outweigh ignorance?
By that look on your face I may have forced the scale to
tip

I′m not insane, I′m not insane
I′m not insane, I’m not... not insane
(Mother)
Come back to me it′s almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again it′s almost easy

Shame pulses through my heart from the things I′ve done to
you
It′s hard to face but the fact remains that this is nothing
new
I left you bound and tied with suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin but deep inside I′m not insane

I′m not insane, I′m not insane
I′m not insane, I’m not... not insane
(Mother)
Come back to me it′s almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again it′s almost easy
(You’ll learn your lesson)

Come back to me it′s almost easy
(But first you fall)
Come back again it′s almost easy

Now that I′ve lost you it kills me to say
(Hurts to say)
I′ve tried to hold on as you′ve slowly slipped away
I′m losing the fight, I′ve treated you so wrong now let me
make it right

(Make it alright)

I′m not insane, I′m not insane
I′m not insane, I’m not... not insane
(Mother)
Come back to me it′s almost easy
(Said it all)
Come back again it′s almost easy
(You’ll learn your lesson)
Come back to me it′s almost easy
(But still you’ll fall)

Come back again it′s almost easy

Текст песни:

Lived through you,
safe with how we lived our lives,
with how it all turned out.
(But things are bound to change)
Uncovered lies, surfaced throughout,
will make you change your mind

Sometimes life is altered
Won′t turn out right. Can′t turn out right

When I see you, I can read it in your eyes,
fate misunderstood.
(But things are bound to change)
Swallowed the lies, can′t blame you for,
thinking with your heart.

Sometimes life is altered.
Break from the ropes your hands are tied.
Uneasy with confrontation.
Won′t turn out right. Can′t turn out right

I see my world crumble and fall, before my eyes
I know, I know.
Dark will turn to light, in time I′ll be alright
I know, I know
(I never imagined my life could turn out this way
So cold so black so alone)

Living goes by fast, catch your breath
and it will pass you by.
And it won′t last, to sulk with the memories you hold.

Sometimes life is altered.
Break from the ropes your hands are tied.
Uneasy with confrontation.
Won′t turn out right.
Can′t turn out right.

Текст песни:

He who makes a beast out of himself
Gets rid of the pain of being a man

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won′t lose my will to stay.

I tried to drive all through the night,
The heart stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights.
No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me.

Can′t you help me as I′m startin′ to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I′m starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don′t want the attention.

As I adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights will take me to new heights.
My hand is on the trigger I′m ready to ignite.
Tomorrow might not make it but everything′s all right.
Mental fiction follows me; show me what it′s like to be set free.

Can′t you help me as I′m startin′ to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I′m starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don′t want the attention.

So sorry you′re not here
I′ve been sane too long my vision′s so unclear.
Now take a trip with me
But don′t be surprised when things aren′t what they seem.

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won′t lose my will to stay.
These eyes won′t see the same, after I flip today.

Sometimes I don′t know why we′d rather live than die,
we look up towards the sky for answers to our lives.
We may get some solutions but more just pass us by,
don′t want your absolution cause I can′t make it right.
I′ll make a beast out of myself, gets rid of all the pain of being a man.

Can′t you help me as I′m startin′ to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I′m starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don′t want the attention.

So sorry you′re not here
I′ve been sane too long my vision′s so unclear.
Now take a trip with me
But don′t be surprised when things aren′t what they seem.
I′ve known it from the start
All these good ideas will tear your brain apart.
Scared but you can follow me
I′m too weird to live but much too rare to die.

Текст песни:

This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence
There′s more than meets the eye round here
Look to the waters of the deep.
A city of evil
There sat a seven-headed beast
Ten horns raised from his head
Symbolic woman sits on his thrown
But hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
The Beast and the Harlot

She′s a dwelling place for demons
She′s a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, Myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will come all at once as her mourners watch her burn.
Destroyed in an hour
Merchants and captains of the world, sailors navigators too
Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky
The Beast and the Harlot

The day has come for all us sinners,
If your not a servant you′ll be struck to the ground.
Flee the burning, greedy city
Looking back on her to see there′s nothin′ around.
I don′t believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to Hell,
But we made the wrong decision and it′s easy to see.
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us
Your welcome to the city where your future is set forever...

2. Burn It Down
Jealousy′s an ugly word, but you don′t seem to care
Converse behind my back, but now I′m here
Need no one to comply with me though everyone that I defeat
Don′t need you, fuck camaraderie, this rage will never go away

Hatred fuels my blood, I′ll burn ya down (you can′t help me)
One king to watch the horsemen fall, I′ll fight ′til the end (I won′t help you)
I can′t trust anyone, see it in my eyes
Now I can understand, it′s sorrow that feeds your lies

You′re on my back when the water gets too deep for you to breath
A crutch for you that won′t always be there
Hide in the dark another day, the fear in you is here to stay
So get the fuck away from me, and learn to trust the words I say.

Hatred fuels my blood, I′ll burn ya down (you can′t help me)
One king to watch the horsemen fall, I′ll fight ′til the end (I won′t help you)
I can′t trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes
Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last time
It′s sorrow that feeds your lies

Run from me before I tear you down (be afraid)
You chose the wrong side (it feels so right)
I won′t help you, let you rot away
Run towards the light exposing your soul (we won′t be there by your side)
Salvation′s dying (somebody′s crying)
We′re all gone in the end, sweet child we′ll miss you
No, so far away

I can′t trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes
Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last time
It′s sorrow that feeds your lies

Falling away, can′t turn back time
Burn it down anyway.

Текст песни:

Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday
But how could you go throw it all away?
In my dreams it′s me and you,
It′s there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew,
So one thing′s left for me to do

I feel it burn inside, burn like the rising sun
Lifted into the sky, took the only thing I loved
I know after tonight all your power crumbles in my arms
So don′t worry, I′ll be fine, when my life ends, I′ll leave this scar

When I fell down, I needed you there
Every note and every word seems so hard to take
Finally, In destiny

A smoking gun in your hand
Now don′t you realize what you′ve done
Put a bullet in his back, your hero since you were so young
How could you kill the man who brought salvation through your pain
He must mean everything to end it all this shameful way

Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday,
But how could you go throw it all away?
In my dreams it′s me and you,
It′s there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew,
So one thing′s left for me to do

I started here so young and helped you get along
Just did it for the love, and people healed through us
Don′t live you life in vain, don′t take it out on me
You′re cracked, so just remember, I′m not your enemy
I don′t deserve to fall this way, by a man who felt betrayed

I felt so down now you′re around to rescue me
Every note and every word i′m listening
Sometimes problems seem too deep to take
Sometimes I cry thinking my future looks so bleak
Finally, together we were destined,
I know what′s best for us in the end
Someone hear me, someone stop me,
someone listen, why aren′t you listening?

Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday,
But how could you go throw it all away?
In my dreams it′s me and you,
It′s there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew,
So one thing′s left for me to do (finish you).

Текст песни:

And we′re at it again, I turn around another fucking war, man
I don′t know where to begin, but I′ll start with the radical leaders
Their steps we′re followin′

Running, don′t go back and fight, too many you′ll lose
(And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood
Between the red and white and blue
But it′s too deep for you to see
And everyone eventually will take the step cause it′s in sight
You take the left I′ll take the right
I fell the hate you′ve built for me
And I say pay attention baby)

As they thank the Lord the blind can′t see
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease

But it wasn′t a sin, a sorry life in judging every action
And as they′re feeding your mind with this shit you forget
How to speak how to ask all the questions

The business at hand tonight, make the people choose
(I see another side in you
But there′s not much more I can do from on the outside looking in
Your government is listenin′ to
Push you on the story of immortal father mortal son
Give them your mind and all your wealth the cycle will rebirth itself)
If they had it their way I′d burn in Hell
And your future′s a fuckin′ disaster can′t you see
Don′t give them all the power when your future′s in desperate trouble baby

As they thank the Lord the blind can′t see
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease
I′d run away tonight with my mind still intact you gotta make it alright
Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to (run)
Running away from condition, I see you but you′re running away from
Your scared seductive system

Most would claim I live a lie
When pointing out it′s easy to predict these things
Every color has its side
They live together vote
And most won′t read between these lines
Please help us, please save us
Of course they have control we′re all the same
Up on the cross, crucified their problem drove the nail and let Him rot
Family and friends, it won′t matter in the end I′m sure they′ll understand
Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed
As I sit up here and wonder ′bout how you sold your mind, body and soul
Looking at the fields so green I know this sounds obscene
I see you′re living for tomorrow
But decisions you have made will leave you empty

You′ve fallen asleep in denial
Look at the way we′re dyin′
How it ends I′ll never know
Just live your life blind like me.

Текст песни:

(give me your hand,
blood is spilt and man will follow
infernal man, punishment too great to bear)
Conceived and born was one of light
Rain and dark, the other born black night

Raise your head and taste the courage
(the one of light)
Fall from grace, unholy night
I′ve come here to kill you,
won′t leave until you′ve died
Murder born of vengeance,
I closed my brothers eyes tonight...

Its cold tonight as the clouds turn grey
and from my hands to my brothers grave
You took his side, you took his gift,
feel the power of a fallen man, crestfallen man...

Far away in this land I must go,
out of the site of the One.
A punishment sent from his hand
a hardship no one should know
Now go out of the site of the One,
away in this land you must go.

Where has he gone? What have you done?
A voice commands from high above this earth.
From the soil I hear his blood cry out to me
Murder, liar, vengeance, deceit.

Текст песни:

Dust begins to fall, to the ground
The air is cold and thin
Thoughts are haunting me as I look around
This will never end and I′ll bleed forever

Don′t acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong
This spot in hell′s where I belong
I′ve come so far - it′s been so long
Don′t know why it started or where it came from

Outside shell is strong - confident
But slowly eats away
Like a man plagued with disease, I try to fight
Through my pores it seems to seep...
I′ll bleed forever

And you sit there and do nothing
You′re content with doing nothing

There′s nowhere to run and hide
when you′re living to die
Stuck alone inside your head,
better off dead
The phone would ring in the empty house,
no one′s around.

But in my life, I wanted more, I needed more
I taste more.
