Chiodos
Album • 2010
I ventured into the dark, in search for a torch And it would light the path ahead Over mountains so high, far and wide Searching for a place to rest my head On different roads I traveled, but I remain the same Facing fear with no fear on my face Through all the roads I traveled, I remain the same Facing my fear... Stop

Do, dododo, lalala, lalala, lalala Do, dododo, lalala, lalala, lalala Are you ready to take the chance and risk it all? It's do or die, fight or flight Do you want to feel alive? So would you play a game of Russian Roulette To save your life, are you in, are you in? Or will you flee to safety and wonder what could have been? Don't be afraid, don't ever be afraid Oh, no, you've been hiding, you've been hiding You've been hiding in the shadows When you're afraid, when you're afraid Take a chance, don't let it weigh you down You've got to get out of there When you're afraid, when you're afraid Take a chance, don't let it weigh you down You've got to get out You're trapped in the cave, confined! Falling back to the comfort of your world The last time you walked away from this You were looking back to see what you missed Do, dododo, lalala, lalala, lalala Do, dododo, lalala, lalala, lalala When you're afraid, when you're afraid Take a chance, don't let it weigh you down You've got to get out of there When you're afraid, when you're afraid Take a chance, don't let it weigh you down You've got to get out Take a chance, take a breath Take a shot with a gun to your head Take a chance, take a breath Take a shot like the gun is to your head Like the gun is to your head, oh So, do, dododo, lalala, lalala, lalala Oh, lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala When you're afraid, when you're afraid Take a chance, don't let it weigh you down You've got to get out of there When you're afraid, when you're afraid Take a chance, don't let it wear you down You've got to get out Stop hiding in the shadows

You yell my name But will I be coming? Should I be running? Should I believe in you? You yell my name But will I be coming? Should I be running? Should I believe in you? (You) And I've wasted all this time Trying to stand by your side The wolves are coming out tonight For they have heard your cry And no one will believe you now There's no place to hide And now the wolves that you have cried Will eat you alive It's just you out in the field They're showing their teeth behind your back They're foaming at the mouth While they're waiting to attack Howling in your ears as they surround you They smelled you They feed off of your cry And I've wasted all this time Trying to stand by your side The wolves are coming out tonight For they have heard your cry And no one will believe you now There's no place to hide And now the wolves that you have cried Will eat you alive I just noticed that you want To have worried the people You're pathetic Wipe that smile off your fucking face This is no laughing matter Under the moon, they mark your cry With their howling at night Will you be fast enough to lose them Or will they catch you? When you run for your life There's no where to hide in your fear Run for your life You are the victim You are the bait You are the victim You are the bait I've wasted all this time Trying to stand by your side Wolves are coming out They have heard your cry No one will believe you No place to hide Wolves are coming out tonight To eat you alive

Why are you so loud? You've said it enough I'm standing right here, but can you see me? All of my time, all of my soul I want to laugh again, and live again, and love My own way The lies engraved will never be erased The fear and pain embedded in my brain The words pushed out all that I am inside Manipulating all that I love All my desire you took as your own All of my sorrow It's not enough, not enough for your hunger Dismantle my being Oh, let me out, let me out, let me be free Dismember everything, making me doubt what I'm about Let me be free Can I just float away? Can I just disappear? All my desire you took as your own All of my sorrow It's not enough, not enough for your hunger I melt down (Melting down) I'm melting down Finally, there, there is no sound I'm standing in front of you but can you see me? I meltdown All my desire you took as your own All of my sorrow It's not enough, not enough for your hunger This war will tear apart the sky Letting through the light We will survive And we'll sing, marching onward We're singing for our freedom La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Light came through a crack in the wall That red sun slowly rose At the break of dawn they came for us For a while we were safe and sound They came like thieves and robbed our town Of all the life, of everything we knew The living versus the dead Pray to your god, hell is on its way home Hounds running like a rancid fog And the world that we knew was raining blood Here we are (Here we are) We knew the day would come Those who slay together, stay together in the end Crimson irises, the army of the infected They smelled our scent, sensed our fear They knew where we were The artists of the night They're painting the town red with blood They came through the door like a flood Like a flood A force too strong to handle We were attacked like a candle surrounded by demons that don't want the light They darkened our ability to see through the night Come through hell or high water They'll never leave one another alone This plague has taken control of us Come through hell or high water We die, only to be born into a monstrosity Light came through the crack in the wall That red sun slowly fell down And we devoured all that we could Oh yes we did We immersed ourselves in all the blood Biting each and every one The army of the infected We are the infected We are the infected Here we are (Here we are) We knew the day would come Those who slay together, stay together in the end Here we are (Here we are) We knew the day would come Those who slay together, stay together in the end

When you know that you finally made it Can you make your way back Make your way back home I ventured into the dark to search For a torch that would light the path ahead Over mountains so high, far and wide Searching for a place to rest my head On different roads, I traveled But I remained the same Facing fears with no fear on my face Through all the roads I traveled I remained the same, facing my fear When you know that you finally made it Can you make your way back Make your way back home? You're on your own You're all alone out here Find your way back home (Find your way back home) From the darkness, I came In my hand was a torch that I found along the way And in the distance, I saw a house With a light that lit the porch I found a place to rest my head On different roads, I traveled But I remained the same Facing fears with no fear on my face Through all the roads I traveled I remained the same, facing my fear When you know that you finally made it Can you make your way back Make your way back home? You're on your own You're all alone out here Find your way back home
