Agony & Opium

I don’t even want it Oh but it’s the price that I pay One foot before the other As if there was no abyss It’s hard to see what’s going on beneath the solid lines All along the edges creep the things you cannot hide Beckoning to the other side All along the edges All along the edges of death Looking for some action Looking for a new way to live Riding on the edges Riding on the edges I’m sure There won’t be another Life that I know It’s hard to see what’s going on beneath the solid lines All along the edges creep the things you cannot hide Beckoning to the other side I don’t even want it Oh but it’s the price that I pay One foot before the other As if there was no abyss Never enough, never enough That is what I hear you scream Telling me things I cannot seem To get out of my head Down on the floor and all ripped up Nothing really affects me Except for the way you’re trying to Get inside my head Never enough, never enough There is a light At the end of the road Gonna get it right It’s my last chance I know Hour to hour, dawn to dawn There is no answer the feeling is strong I can never get enough Hour to hour I can never get enough Dawn to dawn

High above the falcon’s crest Make way for earths unrest Soaring on the razor line Legacy of our demise You are not just what is seen Fill the cup – the burden’s beast All those who speak your doom Lash out with no relent What you see Could burn out my eyes In many ways I am lost Oh desert rose Don’t you want to lie in the ether Give in to mind’s unrest Rays of light descending down Vision of what’s to come There are things you cannot hide Nothing escapes your eyes High above vantage be damned Rest in peace until your end What you see Would burn out your eyes In many ways I am lost Oh desert rose How can you love someone And never let it show In many ways I am lost Desert Rose Only time will tell of the unfolding What we search for What we’re seeking is not But a desert without end I will lie in the ether Give in to minds unrest A ray of light descending down Vision of what’s to come There are things I cannot hide And nothing escapes these eyes High above vantage be damned To rest in peace until the end Desert rose

I can’t get by on what you give You lead the lie and I know your tricks There’s something wrong with a second chance Always looked for what you have left I’m not the one and we’re not free To know the rest of the story I’m not the one Even unto the end Black as light the only light A single flame cannot be shown Jagged pulse you feel no pain The numbing deep is what you crave Have I seen the catalyst The rising corpse of tragic love Got to get back got to leave that Home in the sun There’s a wicked look that hides your face Can’t ever get to a real place In sleep as deep and sweet as death See the past fading before me I’m not the one and we’re not free To know the rest of the story I’m not the one Even unto the end Black as night the evil eye Is staring out beyond the grave There’s no cover I can run to Never should go As I write these final words I lay the cards out showing why Got to get back got to leave that Home in the sun Dirt cheap, sorely downcast Had a lot of living low I know that we’re damned from the start Dirt cheap, slowly downcast Had enough of little love I know that we’re damned from the start Dirt cheap, slowly downcast Can’t escape your evil love I know that we’re damned from the start Oh evil love… I’m not the one Even unto the end Oh this flame will never be shown Though I never should go All day long the evil eve Is hammering a jagged pulse Got to get back got to leave that Home in the sun

Other worlds, other worlds Where I know you’ve been Things are not the same And your life will begin Looking for a place Where your mind can let go A simple ritual To unleash the soul Is this the open road Will our bones go cold Seeking the truth Everywhere, everywhere I see only ghostly hands The silent warning To leave while I can Cannot breath, cannot speak I’m floating in the air The weight of a feather The glaze of a stare Keep me in limbo Attempt to define The two-headed beast That lives in my mind Out on this open road Will our bones go cold Seeking the truth Are we going down To the place of no return

I’m gonna run So far away from you And when I’m gone With nothing left to loose I’ll find a way To get out of my head All of the things I was living for On the horizon On the building storm How could we see What would become I’m gonna run So far away Oh I’m gonna run I won’t be found In tombs of fire and burning fates You rest your head forever I’m gonna run I know I’m drifting on There’s no time to wait Through the ages A reflection Rivers flow With agony and opium I’m gonna run So far away Oh I’m gonna run I won’t be found In tombs of fire and burning fates You rest your head forever

Now dead and gone So lay our bones Coarse remains Sepulture of days We walk to the edge Now dead and gone A pierced to marrow Cryptic pattern To tear the walls We walk to the edge Until our death We’re unable to show Nothing is sacred Everyone knows Caught in the lights Faces aglow Never stop To see who we are I see the door Beginning to close The final sky It dissolves Carry me home I’m lost out of sight Lead me on To the unknown Oh please be kind One last time – I lost myself Now I’m gone and I got no more worry It is all made of stone
