For so long I have felt alone Content to live with unrest Longing faded into countless Nights that buried my weary heart You brought an end to this dead hour And meaning to a A calloused life Held in your arms But too far from my heart Held in your arms But too far from my heart These thoughts will carry me Through the darkest nights While your eyes rest in... These thoughts will carry me Through the darkest nights While your eyes rest in mine I remember the way you looked At me not the way you drew, drew me close With one deep sigh scattering pieces of my My restless mind Forgetting all that we We have left behind, we have left behind We have left behind, we have left behind These thoughts will carry me Through the darkest nights While your eyes rest in... These thoughts will carry me Through the darkest nights While your eyes rest in... These thoughts will carry me Through the darkest nights While your eyes rest in... These thoughts will carry me Through the darkest nights While your eyes rest in...

A story without a name. A desert journey that we became. Another test of our power overcoming on a black day. Appalling how they're running for the honor like a campaign. To be the leaders of a phony dead scene in a magazine. I always figured there was something more. Gone, so many friends and lovers so far, nothing to show in turn They'll take it all back, all those empty words. I'll show the dregs where all their slander has led, if it takes my whole life, for all the tears that I have shed they'll take it back, I'm making a pact. They'll take it back, I'm making a promise. I'm eager to the task, exposing all who wear a mask. It must be done. The storm yet to come binds us as one. Through it all, loneliness and adversity, failure and injustices only guide us on our way. So pry, you won't be finding a faker, nor will an opportune moment arise.

I am stuck here with a torn up soul that can never Be mended you, you destroyed my dreams I, I sat Silently never knowing how much you stole and how I suffered never knowing incapable of love... Your smile, your deep brown eyes, your skin so soft And dark as night your actions made me who I am, Today I stand here half a man convincing brown eyes, As dark as night why did you stray from the den and Take away all my pride deceitful brown eyes, as dark As night I was blinded, by your beauty your smile, Your deep brown eyes heart so cold and black as night. I will never forget you, this pain will never leave my Memories of you.... of you as for your love, it was Never there, all of this pain... I set ablaze.

I can see what the world has done to you I can feel the weight feel the weight I can see what this life has handed you I can feel the weight feel the weight This time, this time Things'll work out just fine We won't let you slip away this time, this time things'll work out just fine we won't let you leave this way If you want you can will it you can have it I can put it right there in your hands I can hear what the spirits are telling you I can clear the weight clear the weight I can see all the wolves as they circle you I can crush the weight crush the weight This time, this time Things'll work out just fine We won't let you slip away this time, this time things'll work out just fine we won't let you leave this way If you want you can will it you can have it I can put it right there in your hands

Surrender and know I've failed you. Now let the darkness swallow you whole. Nothing could ever compensate, For what I've done to you. Tell me, is there any recollection of a time, Before the abhorrent smell of death, Masked all the sugary scents of springtime... And these apparitions led me astray, Into the bowels of perdition?[chorus:]Together, we created a world of sunlight: Darkness fell, as we walked away. Before an individual so cavalier, yet so depraved, Laid you down upon the shores of Acheron. Before we became immersed in iniquity. [chorus] And as we walked away, The sky, it seemed to turn to black. We did create an environment that's oh so dolent, But I'd give anything to change these memories Back to reality and return us to the light.[chorus] Surrender, and know I've failed you. Now let the darkness swallow you whole. Nothing could ever compensate, For what I've done to you. Now walk away and end our days.

Echoes of Mesopotamia A whispered disease that left us on knees too weak to stand Upon this empire, nature's purity revealed Wave the sword of science, keep the truth concealed We are the ten thousand year reich - with us let it end To the sands of time that lent destruction a hand Let harmful ways amend for the path has been chosen, the damage is done But our culture continues its course Sip poisoned wine from the chalice of one culture's way Down the highways of progress we've paved Crosses stand erect where death won the day and we prayed our mortal souls to save When one does not see what one does not see one does not even see one is blind Do we choose to close our eyes or is it the veil is so stained by the treasons of our humanity that we're helpless of knowing new ways? A tender hush lulls us to sleep our hope lies hattered like broken glass march upon hollow dreams take me back to an unseen past, and cleanse our minds wrecked by time Listen, can you hear them? It's such comfort knowing they are there looking over our every move, and guiding us in the right direction without them what would we be but lost souls trapped in an untamed jungle? what would we be but a species undeserving of our proper place? without this civilization our way of thinking, our way of life, what would we be? what kind of lives would we be living? what would we do and where would our paths take us without the whispered lies of angels... death to the wisdom of the ancients five hundred generations - now it seems we are forever lost like priests cloaked in dominion's robes cut up, control, shape this world in a better way you've staked your claim so dance in the flames... ...while we fight to write our names. on the walls of this world goi ng down what are we fighting for? whose world are you fighting for? if ours is the voice that knows only silence then to whom should we turn for recourse?

now show me the reasonbehind your actionsthat left me aloneand covered in scarsso I search for comfortand healing to somehowrid these demonsand set me freeI hope for a placewithout suffering or tearsand I long for that daywhen I can look you in the eyeand hear the echo of your voiceagain in silence I lay and my thoughtsand wishes are of you but your goneand I feel that a part of me is lostas well so this is my comfortand this is my release these are my wordsto you one day we will burn these writings tofind comfort and erase the past and rewritethese words and it will bethe chorus to our lives

The moment you walked in the room, my friend the demons, they all went away be careful, they're only asleep for a while pretending there's nothing to say Throw salt in all the corners here make sure you watch him leave Build up the walls around this house and dig out the rot in the floor block out the entrance with brick and stone and mortar that's made from coal Crawl into this hole I've made transform these feelings of fear I'm on fire say you'll remember her voice and I can't get you out of my mind Loose lips have fallen on deaf ears loose lips have fallen on blind eyes An ocean of sorrow surrounds this home I hope that we make it to shore as time chips away at the fortress walls it seems that we weathered the storm The sun begins to show itself revealing victory I'm on fire say you'll remember her voice and I can't get you out of my mind

I find not distractions live life of single mind and failure is not inherent for I will have what's mine I'll struggle and sacrifice should I find value there I'll not be scorned by failure I'll not relent Now my conscience shall dictate my way No more apologies, no more mistakes Now solid direction has strengthened my resolve Fear not for consequences Fear not at all my focus shall not fail I shall not fall and nor shall I despair Exist no more distractions, exist no more delays Set free from inhibitions, set solid on my way Now set forth with purpose and with a strong resolve Fear not for consequences Fear not at all my focus shall not fail I shall not fall and nor shall I despair Now my conscience shall dictate my way! No more apologies, no more mistakes!
