If You Only Knew
Ready the pawns and Prepare them for war See how they crawl Hungry they'll conquer it all When will it end, When will they bend When will this monster be fed Why are we here? It's all so unclear Will we look back on this victory With glass coloured rose Will this honour turn to infamy Stained by the blood of our foes Now that its over the screams never fade What have we done? Peace at the end of a gun Heroes in red Silence the dead Thousands were burned in their beds Why are we here? It's all so unclear Will we look back on this victory With glass coloured rose Will this honour turn to infamy Stained by the blood of our foes

One look into your eyes and know there's nothing there Where once I saw the fires burn so bright, now I'm met with vacant stares I thought I knew you But now I'm almost certain, You're losing yourself I'm falling Still Falling Into an endless ocean I'm trying, Still trying Events are set in motion now And as the months go by your mind it slips away Haven't seen you in two weeks, But you said it's yesterday It's so frustrating and I know you're not to blame but still it's not the same I'm falling Still Falling Into an endless ocean I'm trying, Still trying Events are set in motion now I can't take it Watching you fall Let me go I'm falling Still falling Into an endless ocean I'm trying, Still trying Events are set in motion now I'm falling Still Falling Into an endless ocean I'm trying, Still trying Events are set in motion now I'm falling Still falling

See the storm Tear down my walls, Now I feel so empty, Blackened hearts begin to break Crumble and fade away Just how far, Have I gone Is this where the story's ending Shattered mass of broken sails Leaves me lost, Leaves me stranded, On an Island in my head, I sit upon the shore, The tide is rising, Will it fall The only way, The only way is down Follow me into the shadows Another day Another chance to drown Let me be the one to take you down Feel the Rain Stings me again The wind is always screaming See the lightning crack against the sky Send a note In a bottle Know I'll get no answer See the memories flash before my eyes The only way, The only way is down Follow me into the shadows Another day Another chance to drown Let me be the one to take you down

Have we been here before, Have we all been sleeping, or is it just the same As their gilded towers fall It's a grand Illusion Or is it just a game No more Running though their maze Like rats in cages If you only knew, The things that I have seen, Would you listen closer Would you hear my warning If you only knew The things that I have done Would you follow me again? Or turn your back and run Another night it pours, We lock up every door And hope that we remain Hear the sound of sirens call One more up against the wall I wish it was a dream If you only knew, The things that I have seen, Would you listen closer Would you hear my warning If you only knew The things that I have done Would you follow me again? Or turn your back and run If you only knew, The things that I have done Would you listen closer? If you only knew

Another night at home in my mind Just another night alone Give me the sense That it's not standardized That there's more to come, on my journey My thoughts go from tangled to strangled and worse I feel my demise into the depths of my own consciousness To meet the man behind the door Why was I brought to this place? (You needed to understand that) Now I know the truth (But what will you do with it) We carry the insight to challenge our mind (You lack the comprehension) Fighting the demons that lead us to live a life of sedentary pain Sedentary pain How can it be that I'm back in this place after such a revelation a state of flux Between of states of mind Is it me or divine intervention My thoughts go from tangled to strangled but now I teel my reprise into the depths of my own consciousness To greet the man behind the door Why was I brought to this place? (You needed to understand that) Now I know the truth (But what will you do with it) We carry the insight to challenge our mind (You lack the comprehension) Fighting the demons that lead us to live a life of sedentary pain Sedentary pain Is this my purgatory or just a stop along the way My thoughts go from tangled to strangled but now I feel my reprise into the depths of my own consciousness To greet the man behind the door Why was I...

I am the nail in your coffin I am the bullet in your head I am the one who's sneaking up behind to stab you in the back I am the one who wants you dead I am the footsteps in the hallway I am the shadow on the door There's no escaping the hand of fate is calling for you The bittersweet caress Of darkness calling I am the one who strikes in anger I am the one who takes revenge I am your every insecurity brought out into the light I'm the one who wants to fight I am the footsteps in the hallway I am the shadow on the door There's no escaping the hand of fate is calling for you The bittersweet caress Of darkness calling There's no escaping the hand of fate is calling for you The bittersweet caress Of darkness calling

Walking down a lonely road I can see the world exploding all around me And I know what must be done Take this battle to them Show them all that I have I won The endless violence obscuring all that I can see There's never silence They're always screaming When everything's so gray I feel it calling But I know not what they say Is it something from beyond Or am I falling Am I consciously aware of my Thousand mile stare Now I know the time has come I can feel my head imploding into nothing Look into my vacant eyes Know my emptiness and see the visions I despise The endless violence Obscuring all that I can see There's never silence They're always screaming When everything's so gray I feel it calling But I know not what they say Is it something from beyond Or am I falling Am I consciously aware of my Thousand mile stare

So close to my homeland ten years lost at see I can hear the sound of my old friends calling for me I sail my ship on the west wind I spent days at the helm homesick and tired and longing for sleep let slumber arrest me King of the ocean Shaker of earth Carry me down Swallow me down Pray for Poseidon Bring me relief Swallow me down (and down oh no) Betrayed by my best friend By cowardly greed Through hardship and heartache | travel on One day I'll be free Blown back where we came from I can hardly believe No more will I travel this endless road Let the gods hear me screaming King of the ocean Shaker of earth Carry me down Swallow me down Pray for Poseidon Bring me relief Swallow me down and down and down King of the ocean Shaker of earth Carry me down Swallow me down Pray for Poseidon Bring me relief Swallow me down and down again
