Darker Half
Album • 2011
This track is instrumental.
Have I woken where I went to sleep? Am I drifting now through time and space, How to know when I've gone in too deep? Can I get back from this other place We've reached a turning point We're on the edge Time to save ourselves Will it end Life and death are just illusions See the cracks form in Reality Time and space Break from their union Sliding through dimensions endlessly Am I lost or have I found my way? Back to this cold dark world that I have seen before? Lost in another time, caught in another plane of space Doing all I can to get back once to see your face We've reached a turning point We're on the edge Time to save ourselves Will it end Life and death are just illusions See the cracks form in Reality Time and space Break from their union Sliding through dimensions endlessly Why can't you see We're facing extinction Fall to your knees Pray for redemption We've reached a turning point We're on the edge Time to save ourselves Will it end Life and death are just illusions See the cracks form in Reality Time and space Break from their union Sliding through dimensions endlessly Run Away

Lonely and desperate Nobody hears my call Lives have been broken Enslaving us all Rhyme without reason Bridges were built to burn Nothing is sacred Nowhere to turn We live in a haze Polluted thought and cowardice, End the malaise Falling through uncertainty we're lost We're cast into this world of madness Round and round we're tossed Falling through uncertainty we're lost We're waiting for a sign Why were we taken here Why were we made to pay Forever forsaken Forever enslaved You think that you'll change the world You're running out of time Nothing will be there It's the end of the line Each passing day We lose ourselves in ignorance When will we pay? Falling through uncertainty we're lost Cast into this world of madness Round and round we're tossed Falling through uncertainty we're lost We're waiting for a sign Falling through uncertainty we're lost Cast into this world of madness Round and round we're tossed We're never gone, we're Falling through uncertainty we're lost Cast into this world of madness Round and round we're tossed We're never gone, we're Falling through uncertainty we're lost Cast into this world of madness Round and round we're tossed We're never gone, we're Falling through uncertainty we're lost We're waiting for a sign

I look into your eyes But never see a face Just something to be killed We're turning to disgrace If we end our lives this way Is deception here to stay They won't go away We, have been led astray No, they cover our eyes We've, been desensitized Don't ever stop to think It's wrong to hesitate Just point the gun and shoot You can't make a mistake If we end our lives this way is deception here to stay They won't go away We, have been led astray No, they cover our eyes We've, been desensitized Don't ever stop to think It's wrong to hesitate Just point the gun and shoot You've got no choice They won't go away We, have been led astray No, they cover our eyes We've, been desensitized

I feel the cold thud of hot lead Against my beating chest And as I fall the colours drain from me All life I once posessed... War began two years ago When I was 17 I tried to volunteer They knocked me back I couldn't pass the screen They said "Boy, you're too young To go war, to fire a gun" I wish that I had listened then To what they said I was untrained and unprepared Never told I should be scared (I saw things that no man should ever see) Staring death right in the face When I've not even run the race The war was raging on For 10 years with no signs of ending The men up top were scared They'd lost so many troops they're sending So we were sent away To fight under the desert sun Only to find our forces Crippled, understocked and on the run They came from all directions They came from holes under the ground But when we finally saw them It was too late It was too late for me I was untrained and unprepared Never told I should be scared (I saw things that no man should ever see) Staring death right in the face When I've not even run the race I was untrained and unprepared Never told I should be scared (I saw things that no man should ever see) Staring death right in the face When I've not even run the race Just a conscript sent to die Without ever knowing why So many sent to die in vain Without a grave to bear their name We lie unknown We die so far from home There's nothing left...

Living in a world of black In a darkened life I see We're bound up in the images Our hands just guess for us Taking one last step Is the hardest thing to do The simplest of tasks for me Flaunted blatantly by you As darkness fades and I regain What was lost A sight that sees through masks we wear But at what cost And I can tell you now You're fooling no one You won't like these things that I can see I've never known the mystery that is Sight that is sound I'm forever bound Can we ever tell what really is The light, the mask, That governs us all How can we live with our head in clouds What drives you on will leave you empty As darkness fades and I regain What was lost A sight that sees through masks we wear But at what cost And I can tell you now You're fooling no one You won't like these things that I can see As darkness fades and I regain What I lost A sight that sees through masks I wear But at what cost And I can tell you now I'm fooling no one I don't like these things that I can see

Are you speaking without words? Are you singing without melody? Are you moving to the essence Of this world or of your soul? Are you searching But not finding it At all? Is there anything you seek? Is there anything you hear? Are you blackened by a culture? Of emptiness and of despair? Are you living or just hiding it From all? Never knowing how Never caring why You give up everything To try to Catch the sun Only now you know Only now you care You're losing everything But the sun was black And now it's gone Are you hot or are you cold? Chasing only what you're told? Do you control What you're looking for? Or has it taken hold? Is it worth just what you blindly sold for it? Never knowing how Never caring why You give up everything To try to Catch the sun Only now you know Only now you care You're losing everything But the sun was black And now What good is it for man To take this whole dark world Only forfeiting his soul? But never out of reach Never without words of truth Never far from being whole again

Wake me from a dream Images get clearer I'm here alone, Nothings as it was before Tried to speak Words are just not there for me Feel myself Descending through a world of darkness I turn to see your face And cry in anger If I saw into the future Could I do it all again, Would I put myself through agony To get to ecstasy Would I turn my back And walk away Alone into the dark Would I live forever knowing... With the morningrise Waking life returns to me Feel as though I might as well have never slept before, Long to close my eyes To see yours in the darkness But all I see An Icy stare That looks right through me This Dream is over Will I ever sleep again? If I saw into the future Could I do it all again, Would I put myself through agony To get to ecstasy Would I turn my back And walk away Alone into the dark Would I live forever knowing What was coming from the start This Dream is over Will I ever sleep again? If I saw into the future Could I do it all again, Would I put myself through agony To get to ecstasy Would I turn my back And walk away Alone into the dark Would I live forever knowing What was coming from the start

Out here nothing changes Not in a hurry anyway You can feel the endlessness With the coming of the light of day Talkin' bout a chosen place They want to sell it in a marketplace Just a minute now Standin' on solid rock Standin' on sacred ground Livin' on borrowed time And the winds of change Keep blowin down the line 'Round about the dawn of time Dreaming all began Proud people come Livin' in a promised land Running' from a heart of darkness Searchin' for a heart of light Could've been paradise Standin' on solid rock Standin' on sacred ground Livin' on borrowed time And the winds of change Were blowin' cold that night Standin' on the shore one day Saw white sails in the sun Wasn't long before you felt that sting White man white law white gun Don't tell me that it's justified 'Cause somewhere someone lied Genocide Someone lied Standin' on solid rock Standin' on sacred ground Livin' on borrowed time And the winds of change Are blowin down the line

No Bring me back to earth Rip me from the sky Can I stop the rising tide Vision starts to blur Sweat runs down my face Losing everything I can't replace We're losing it all Pushed to the end of my rope Armageddon's coming down and nothing is the same Try to run but know that I'm not gonna get away Is this fear? Still the silence is the hardest thing to fucking hear Sinking to the depths Are we gonna drown Wind and rain they pelt the ground Lives are blown to bits Empires falling down Short of breath I try to speak But I cant make a sound We're losing it all Pushed to the end of my rope Armageddon's coming down and nothing is the same Try to run but know that I'm not gonna get away Is this fear? Still the silence is the hardest thing to fucking hear
