Lakes of fire filled with regret
Took your chances, your losses won't let you forget
So you think that it's over?
So you think that it's done?
The fields of unforgiveness never die, they've just begun
You thought you'd elude life's sorrows, emptiness and grief
The oceans of life's contempt drown the liars and the thieves
So you think that it's over?
So you think that it's done?
The fields of unforgiveness never die, they've just begun
So you think that it's over?
So you think that it's done?
The fields of unforgiveness never die, they've just begun

My Dying Time
Chosen fate
I have become
Broken slave and overrun
In my dying time
My wounds shall all be healed
Servant to one's sufferring
The poisoned crown
A fallen king
In my dying time
You're all that is real
In my dying time
My wounds shall all be healed
In my dying time
You're all that is real
In my dying time
My wounds shall all be healed
I have become
Broken slave and overrun
In my dying time
My wounds shall all be healed
Servant to one's sufferring
The poisoned crown
A fallen king
In my dying time
You're all that is real
In my dying time
My wounds shall all be healed
In my dying time
You're all that is real
In my dying time
My wounds shall all be healed

Believe
They say that you've come to end
The sadness and pain
A barer of light
To the darkness that reigns
Destroyer of fear and the
War of man
To live forever just take my hand
Take these eyes so I can see
Are you just a story in a book
For us to read?
I wanna believe
They say that you heal the sick
Breathe life to the dead
You've come to save us all
So they have said
Destroyer of fear and the war of man
To live forever, just take my hand
Take these eyes so I can see
Are you just a story in a book for us to read?
Are you God or just another man that bleeds?
Please tell me there's a heaven that awaits
I wanna believe
I wanna believe
Take these eyes so I can see
Are you just a story in a book for us to read?
Are you God or just another man that bleeds?
Please tell me there's a heaven that awaits
I wanna believe
I wanna believe
I wanna believe
The sadness and pain
A barer of light
To the darkness that reigns
Destroyer of fear and the
War of man
To live forever just take my hand
Take these eyes so I can see
Are you just a story in a book
For us to read?
I wanna believe
They say that you heal the sick
Breathe life to the dead
You've come to save us all
So they have said
Destroyer of fear and the war of man
To live forever, just take my hand
Take these eyes so I can see
Are you just a story in a book for us to read?
Are you God or just another man that bleeds?
Please tell me there's a heaven that awaits
I wanna believe
I wanna believe
Take these eyes so I can see
Are you just a story in a book for us to read?
Are you God or just another man that bleeds?
Please tell me there's a heaven that awaits
I wanna believe
I wanna believe
I wanna believe

Angel Of Mercy
I woke alone today
For all the birds have flown
Inside this empty house
Which no longer feels like home
No angel of mercy
Is gonna hear my call (lord no)
No angel of mercy
To dry the tears that shall not fall
I woke alone today
Admidst life's killing fields of war
Door of memories
Closed forevermore
No angel of mercy
Is gonna hear my call (lord no)
No angel of mercy
To dry the tears that shall not fall
No angel of mercy
Is gonna hear my call (lord no)
No angel of mercy
To dry the tears that shall not fall
For all the birds have flown
Inside this empty house
Which no longer feels like home
No angel of mercy
Is gonna hear my call (lord no)
No angel of mercy
To dry the tears that shall not fall
I woke alone today
Admidst life's killing fields of war
Door of memories
Closed forevermore
No angel of mercy
Is gonna hear my call (lord no)
No angel of mercy
To dry the tears that shall not fall
No angel of mercy
Is gonna hear my call (lord no)
No angel of mercy
To dry the tears that shall not fall

Heart Of Darkness
The angels of hatred
The engine that
Scream through the sky
As visions of crosses and graves
Fuel lifeless eyes
CHORUS:
Desolation of hope and the death
Of one's prayers
The tarnished cage of goodwill
Is beyond repair
Heart of darkness
Remorse has fallen away
Not of this world
For God is not here today
The coldness that sets in the air
As the ice fills the veins
Disorder and chaos overthrowing
The house of the sane
Desolation of hope and the death
Of one's prayers
The tarnished cage of goodwill
Is beyond repair
Heart of darkness
Remorse has fallen away
Not of this world
For God is not here today
Desolation of hope and the death
Of one's prayers
The tarnished cage of goodwill
Is beyond repair
Heart of darkness
Remorse has fallen away
Not of this world
For God is not here today
The engine that
Scream through the sky
As visions of crosses and graves
Fuel lifeless eyes
CHORUS:
Desolation of hope and the death
Of one's prayers

Beyond The Down
Travel the ways singing the unknown
Come with me, the truth it shall be shown
Forget all you know and all that you've learned
Bridges of doubt shall all be burned
Who you are, it shall be found
Through the darkest light beyond the down
Temple of light, you shall not be mourned
Trampled beneath the shaking light that has been sworn
Forget all you know and all that you've learned
Bridges of doubt shall all be burned
Who you are, it shall be found
Through the darkest light beyond the down
Come with me, the truth it shall be shown
Forget all you know and all that you've learned
Bridges of doubt shall all be burned
Who you are, it shall be found
Through the darkest light beyond the down
Temple of light, you shall not be mourned
Trampled beneath the shaking light that has been sworn
Forget all you know and all that you've learned
Bridges of doubt shall all be burned
Who you are, it shall be found
Through the darkest light beyond the down

Scars
Say your peace, for I'll be on my way
One last look, nothing left to say
As I turn my back, to walk away
I shall forgive, but I won't forget that day
For every sky that shines
Shall meet the pouring rain
For my will shall never break though it may bend
Like the scars that heal yet never mend
When lies become the truth
Well, you've got your beliefs
No burdens on your mind
They're buried beneath your feet
As I turn my back, to walk away
I shall forgive, but I won't forget that day
For every sky that shines
Shall meet the pouring rain
For my will shall never break though it may bend
Like the scars that heal yet never mend
As I turn my back, to walk away
I shall forgive, but I won't forget that day
For every sky that shines
Shall meet the pouring rain
For my will shall never break though it may bend
Like the scars that heal yet never mend
For every sky that shines
Shall meet the pouring rain
For my will shall never break though it may bend
Like the scars that heal yet never mend
One last look, nothing left to say
As I turn my back, to walk away
I shall forgive, but I won't forget that day
For every sky that shines
Shall meet the pouring rain
For my will shall never break though it may bend
Like the scars that heal yet never mend
When lies become the truth
Well, you've got your beliefs
No burdens on your mind
They're buried beneath your feet
As I turn my back, to walk away
I shall forgive, but I won't forget that day
For every sky that shines
Shall meet the pouring rain
For my will shall never break though it may bend
Like the scars that heal yet never mend
As I turn my back, to walk away

Damn The Flood
This flood of snakes
The breeding lies
Existence of unjust
Spewing falsehoods as they crawl
Assassins of one's trust
First you slither
Then you crawl
Damn the flood
I've come to end it all
Poisened blood manipulates
The bending of one's will
Assassins of your sacred words
For trust it shall be killed
First you slither
Then you crawl
Damn the flood
I've come to end it all
First you slither
Then you crawl
I've come to damn the flood
And end it all
First you slither
Then you crawl
Damn the flood
I've come to end it all
First you slither
Then you crawl
I've come to damn the flood
And end it all
The breeding lies
Existence of unjust
Spewing falsehoods as they crawl
Assassins of one's trust
First you slither
Then you crawl
Damn the flood
I've come to end it all
Poisened blood manipulates
The bending of one's will
Assassins of your sacred words
For trust it shall be killed
First you slither
Then you crawl
Damn the flood
I've come to end it all
First you slither
Then you crawl
I've come to damn the flood
And end it all
First you slither
Then you crawl
Damn the flood
I've come to end it all
First you slither
Then you crawl
I've come to damn the flood
And end it all

Ive Gone Away
This burden upon my shoulders
For I don't wish to carry anymore
A room of empty faces
As I walk through life's revolving doors
Life's high's and crashing low's
What tomorrow brings
I've mourned the past and
The death of yesterdays
The one you seek
Is no longer
I've gone away
Time stands still
As the pages start to fade and die
Closure to this ride
As I greet tomorrow
And wave goodbye
Life's high's and crashing low's
What tomorrow brings
I've mourned the past and
The death of yesterdays
The one you seek
Is no longer
I've gone away
I've gone away
Life's high's and crashing low's
What tomorrow brings
I've mourned the past and
The death of yesterdays
The one you seek
Is no longer
I've gone away
I've gone away
For I don't wish to carry anymore
A room of empty faces
As I walk through life's revolving doors
Life's high's and crashing low's
What tomorrow brings
I've mourned the past and
The death of yesterdays
The one you seek
Is no longer
I've gone away
Time stands still
As the pages start to fade and die
Closure to this ride
As I greet tomorrow
And wave goodbye
Life's high's and crashing low's
What tomorrow brings
I've mourned the past and
The death of yesterdays
The one you seek
Is no longer
I've gone away
I've gone away
Life's high's and crashing low's
What tomorrow brings
I've mourned the past and
The death of yesterdays
The one you seek
Is no longer
I've gone away
I've gone away

Empty Promises
Future's uncertain
So far from home
Hopes of tomorrow
Gathered and flown
I gave you my word
Swore with my blood
You gave me empty promises
With nothing in return
Worthless words
The funeral pyre burns
You gave me empty promises
With nothing in return
Fear has subsided
Calloused and numb
Death of compassion
There is no return
I gave you my word
Swore with my blood
You gave me empty promises
With nothing in return
Worthless words
The funeral pyre burns
You gave me empty promises
With nothing in return
I gave you my word
Swore with my blood
You gave me empty promises
With nothing in return
Worthless words
The funeral pyre burns
You gave me empty promises
With nothing in return
So far from home
Hopes of tomorrow
Gathered and flown
I gave you my word
Swore with my blood
You gave me empty promises
With nothing in return
Worthless words
The funeral pyre burns
You gave me empty promises
With nothing in return
Fear has subsided
Calloused and numb
Death of compassion
There is no return
I gave you my word
Swore with my blood
You gave me empty promises
With nothing in return
Worthless words
The funeral pyre burns
You gave me empty promises
With nothing in return
I gave you my word
Swore with my blood
You gave me empty promises
With nothing in return
Worthless words
The funeral pyre burns
You gave me empty promises
With nothing in return

Shades Of Gray
Heaven sent, hell beneath, gone away
Skies of blue, nothing lasts, couldn't stay
Oh no you couldn't stay
The morning sun has set
On what is and what has been once again
Where can you run
When there's nowhere to hide
On the outside
Living yet dying inside
Your rivers of joy can't be found anymore
The day my world it fell away
Shades of gray
Unspoken words, nothing left to say
The day that my world it fell away
Nothings left but shades of gray
Broken doubt, chosen fear, where your at
On the down, sinking low, no coming back
They'll be no coming back
The morning sun has set
On what is and what has been once again
Where can you run
When there's nowhere to hide
On the outside
Living yet dying inside
Your rivers of joy can't be found anymore
The day my world it fell away
Shades of gray
Unspoken words, nothing left to say
The day that my world it fell away
Nothings left but shades of gray
The sun no longer shines
My eyes have gone blind
The sun no longer shines
The day my world it fell away
Shades of gray
Unspoken words, nothing left to say
The day that my world it fell away
Nothings left but shades of gray
The day my world it fell away
Shades of gray
Unspoken words, nothing left to say
The day that my world it fell away
Nothings left but shades of gray
Skies of blue, nothing lasts, couldn't stay
Oh no you couldn't stay
The morning sun has set
On what is and what has been once again
Where can you run
When there's nowhere to hide
On the outside
Living yet dying inside
Your rivers of joy can't be found anymore
The day my world it fell away
Shades of gray
Unspoken words, nothing left to say
The day that my world it fell away
Nothings left but shades of gray
Broken doubt, chosen fear, where your at
On the down, sinking low, no coming back
They'll be no coming back
The morning sun has set
On what is and what has been once again
Where can you run
When there's nowhere to hide
On the outside
Living yet dying inside
Your rivers of joy can't be found anymore
The day my world it fell away
Shades of gray
Unspoken words, nothing left to say
The day that my world it fell away
Nothings left but shades of gray
The sun no longer shines
My eyes have gone blind
The sun no longer shines
The day my world it fell away

Nothings left but shades of gray
The day my world it fell away
Shades of gray
Unspoken words, nothing left to say
The day that my world it fell away
Nothings left but shades of gray
