A Light In The Dark


Shadows in a dark place lurk inside the walls
+
Hiding from daylight hiding from us all
+
Windows of a past life, reflections hard to find
+
Memories of lost days, etch their place in time
+
Anger and frustration, diseases of the mind
+
Just like the evils, the evils of mankind
+
Submerged and frozen, in this icy hell
+
Reaching for tomorrow, what will the fortune tell
+
Light transcends into our memory, dark descends upon the misery
+
When soulless spirits grasp the beating heart
+
Remember there is a light in the dark
+
Blessed our the visions of ones who have dared
+
Healing the masses with the crosses they bear
+
The dawn of creation is where it begins
+
The privilege of power gives the privilege to sin
+
Screaming for some sanity, drift like a lost soul
+
Curse on all humanity the worlds lost control
+
Inside out reality, we're victims of a crime
+
Innocence has since been lost, we've all been left behind
+

Beyond All Reason


Curse the man, curse the prophet, worse the man without any eyes
+
Play the madman, play the poet, some say he hides in a perfect disguise
+
Less the man that heeds no warning, and lets the sand run through his hands
+
His fingers stiff with anticipation, as he plots his next feeble plan
+
Beyond all reason, he holds the key to life
+
A change of season, all answers in due time
+
No rhyme or reason, a product of mankind
+
But he's not the only one, he's just the lonely one
+
Since ancient times we've bowed to leaders, leaders only by their command
+
Banned together a bond of freedom, from their rule and master plan
+
Take the greed, take the power, hold the ring within your hand
+
Seize the crown and wield the dagger, it's the path of every man
+
Slipping through the cracks of the system we have made, staring at life as we fall
+
Remembering places and pictures in time, surprised that we have made it at all
+
Looking for heroes and praying to gods, uttering secrets we keep
+
Hope for redemption and someone to blame, the price that we pay is too steep
+

Mirror Of Lies


When you look at yourself you can see a bewildering soul
+
A shell of a once stable man who's lost all control
+
You've journeyed so long now you've sealed all your plans
+
But when you look at your reflection you try to understand
+
In the mirror of lies
+
From the mystical gates of your past to the depths of the sea
+
No matter how hard you try things will be what they will be
+
When looking for secrets just close your eyes
+
You're searching for the answer but the answers are inside
+
In the mirror of lies
+
The spell is broken the scars will fade reflections of mistakes
+
You once made a pawn or a token
+
A king or a thief gaze into the mirror and believe
+

Disappear


In this lost and lonely place is where I call my home
+
Four thick walls surrounding me I pay a heavy toll
+
I'm pushing and pushing trying to claw my way back
+
Wishing, wishing I could disappear just like that
+
There is this voice inside my head turns from friend to foe
+
When will all this madness stop neither of us knows
+
How did I get this way how could I get this far
+
Was this the master plan was it written in the stars
+
For me to live my life as a pessimistic fool
+
A superficial man the exception to the rule
+
Mark your words and you will see the price
+
That I have paid the cost of life the wounded soul
+
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
+
The hands have stopped out on the clock I'm on the astral plane
+
The things I've done won't be forgot my image still remains
+

The Believer


A taste of fear in the recipe as he stirs the potion up
+
Flirting with the other side enough to call his bluff
+
As the flames and the smoke grow thick a figure begins to rise
+
Looking up it says to him, "Son you must decide"
+
Caught up in evil 'cause he's too blind to see
+
Now he's the believer and the believer deceives
+
Into the void of his memories lie the answers
+
Why he finds a friend in the need to sin
+
It makes him feel alive but the path he's on
+
Will lead to hell for that he must repent but after all
+
The damage done the devil's new servant
+
He don't know what he believes
+

Temple Of The Sea


The pages turn themselves as if to speak to me
+
A vision not so civilized a sight no one has seen
+
A king who's fate is sealed by prophecy and pain
+
Modern man knows nothing, it's time I board my train
+
The wasteland that's before me leaves me cold inside
+
I long to reach the ocean and the secrets that it hides
+
The rivers have all dried up yet covered by the sea
+
The memories of children playing
+
And prayers that have been set free
+
The ancient temples washed away foundations of belief
+
No written word to tell the tale, another missing piece
+
As I touch, as I see, it's still a mystery
+
When I find what I seek
+
Who will we be?
+
It's all myth and memory, these temples of the sea
+
And still there's no answer
+
We search for the answers
+
Another night I walk alone, tormented by the thought
+
A world remains unknown to us, a land that time forgot
+
Our future could be in the past, and proof before our eyes
+
We cannot ignore the truth and cast it all aside
+
They're leaving the world they leave without warning
+
Standing together a new day is dawning
+
One giant puzzle with no explanation
+
Can someone tell me is it imagination
+
Only to find the secrets unfold
+
With nothing left but these fallen towers of stone
+
Fire falling from the sky, burning all I see
+
No place to run no place to hide
+
I hear a million screams
+
Now we say our goodbyes, only fear in our eyes
+
As we fall to our knees
+
Our world is claimed by the sea
+

Pill For The Kill


Black night step into madness lose sight against your will
+
Last night begging forgiveness for that one time thrill
+
Black night another prescription take 10 to ease the pain
+
Last night another deception you think you're going insane
+
Demons rising as you cast them away little pills of color make them stay
+
Just another pill have you got your fill
+
Just another pill a pill for the kill
+
Your lost far from enchantment you found a better way
+
Comatose another dependent another sad, sad day
+
You're back, back with a vengeance you want to score again
+
So string higher than ever with a Cheshire grin
+
Here, take this and everything will be fine, trust me

Son Of The Son


Stabbing through the wind and rain all aboard the nowhere train, the calm before the storm surrounds you
+
In between the here and now, somewhere in the lost and found, a king without a crown who shows no mercy
+
Close your hands and bow thy head, cleanse the wounds of the dead, face the fear and all within your soul
+
Tell a tale of mystery, drowning in an endless sea, hanging by a thread you cling to life
+
Break the chains there are no rules, be the leader not the fool, the powers that be demand you
+
To have the knowledge and the strength, to help the worthless and the weak, to be the power in all that condemns you
+
You've got to heal your wounded mind secure your place in time you're of the one a son of the sun
+
Ride upon the angels wings, listen to the heavens sing, praise the master till your dying day
+
Pay the piper, pick your battles, fight before your life unravels reaching for the stars above you

More Than Your Master


Before the walls begin to fall, before the end it takes us all,
+
You know we're running out of time but moving faster
+
When will we ever heed the call, will we heed it one and all,
+
You know we've always been our own walking disaster
+
And when you look around you have found it's more than just your master
+
When the buildings were ablaze, and the height of terror raised, by fire we watched them burn into black skies
+
The world's living in denial, every woman, man, and child, our children running scared and asking why

Blinded By Life


In a web of confusion you're strangled by your fear
+
A hopeless situation you've been in for years
+
No hope for tomorrow, no hope for today
+
Always defending mistakes that you've made
+
When you're lost on the wrong side and you're feeling no pain
+
You plead for absolution but nothing's left to gain
+
You're far from the truth and you're near to what's right
+
Make a decision without losing sight
+
You're blinded by life and the mask is your darkness
+
Blinded by life with one foot in the grave
+
Blinded by life and you hide in the darkness
+
Blinded by life with one foot in the grave
+
We want a perfect world we want the silver spoon
+
But if there was we'd find a way to reduce it into ruins
+
We're picking up the pieces we're always playing a game
+
One day we'll realize we are all to blame

Watch The Children Pray 2006


In a darkened graveyard glows a light.
+
I see it shine there every night.
+
I know somewhere there's a hidden door.
+
There's an answer here we must explore.
+
No, I'll not submit to reason.
+
I'll sit and watch the seasons change.
+
We watch the children pray.
+
Save us God today,
+
Come whatever may.
+
We hold our fate and make the choice,
+
But we'll not listen to that still small voice.
+
Are we just crazy, out of our minds?
+
Wish this were someplace, another time.
+
We watch the children pray.
+
Save us God today,
+
Come whatever may.
+
And I know we're going
+
So far away from this wretched life we lead.
+
With open arms meet catastrophe,
+
In the valley of the damned we'll be.
+
And I know we're going
+
So far away from this wretched life we lead.
+
With open arms meet catastrophe,
+
In the valley of the damned we'll be.
+
We watch the children pray.
+
Save us God today,
+
Come whatever may.
+
And now to life we say goodbye.
+
I know the when but not the why.
+
Our nation's blood spills on the ground.
+
Our lives go out without a sound.
