I am your temptation Your every vicious thought Lacking self-confidence Deception in its purest form I am your hesitation When you wander in circles The hand you reach for when no one’s there In a charade so perfect Come, walk this way And I’ll have you I’ll show you Yearning, dreaming Your humble servant Your trust so precious I’m the user, the abuser Haunting, serving The great deceiver I am your false beauty I am your hidden hate The hideous face of sloth What makes you degenerate And I am the shadow What you sense when no one’s near Discomfort and pleasure ‘Til your chapter ends (????) Come, walk this way And I’ll have you I’ll show you Yearning, dreaming Your humble servant Your trust so precious I’m the user, the abuser Haunting, serving The great deceiver Come, walk this way And I’ll have you I’ll show you Yearning, dreaming Your humble servant Your trust so precious I’m the user, the abuser Haunting, serving The great deceiver

I’ve tried it all It’s gone too far And the worst of all Is the promise that I can’t keep I have emptied every source I have learned all there is to know To stand by as you wither To watch your spirit drain I just wish hope could last forever Last forever So here we are The end of your days So here we are So here we are I have lost, I have failed My promise not kept and I’m sorry I have emptied every source I have learned all there is to know So here we are Holding hands at the end of days Your eyes slowly shuts You hand lets go and I kiss you farewell Farewell... (So here we are) So here we are The end of your days So here we are So here we are I have lost, I have failed My promise not kept and I’m sorry (The end of your days) So here we are... I promised hope forever, but I’m sorry (The end of your days) Then I’m sorry (The end of your days)

I place my foot on the first step That leads me down into my fate So father please forgive me As I cannot see it end I am now up on the table It trembles under my weight I wipe away the cold sweat Close my eyes and... (Falling) out of what I know is true (Falling) come shelter me as I lie here bleeding (Falling) away from what I thought was you (Falling) come shelter me as I lie here bleeding So speak and I listen I’ll take the time to hear you out So scream and I sure listen I just need a little time Gathering the pieces of a stronger me Helpless weak and battered My wounds are bleeding (Falling) out of what I know is true (Falling) come shelter me as I lie here bleeding (Falling) away from what I thought was you (Falling) come shelter me as I lie here bleeding Gathering the pieces of a stronger me Helpless weak and battered My wounds are bleeding (Falling) out of what I know is true (Falling) come shelter me as I lie here bleeding (Falling) away from what I thought was you (Falling) come shelter me as I lie here bleeding...

One step at the time Small progress seems futile But is as valuable as life I’m engaged to longing With sorrow as the ring Controlling me, denying me My every morning is in every way The beginning of a recreation day (recreation) The beginning of a recreation Time heals, but still the mourning reigns I still breathe when the loss reminds me again I am here Life is fear and sorrow’s all I know Am I in debt ‘cause so it seems But what I owe I don’t know Devoured by guilt and cursed beyond control My every morning is in every way The beginning of a recreation day (recreation) The beginning of a recreation My every morning is in every way The beginning of a recreation day... My every morning is in every way The beginning of a recreation day (recreation) The beginning of a recreation My every morning is in every way The beginning of a recreation day...

In a future not so distant The sun and moon will still rise But Mother Earth shall force us to listen I have seen it written and so it shall it be done I have a gift, some even call it a blessing I’m caught in a dream, a dream where I can’t run Where I can’t run Where I can’t run Where I can’t run... (Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming) Wish I was caught in a dream But I’m not so I’m (dreaming, dreaming, dreaming) Wish I was caught in dream But I’m not... I try to hide my visions Throw’em in and lock’em up In a room with just four walls I did not choose this mission Who pointed me the prophet? With a crystal ball! I have a gift, some even call it a blessing I’m caught in a dream, a dream where I can’t run Where I can’t run Where I can’t run Where I can’t run... Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming Wish I was caught in a dream (Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming) Wish I was caught in a dream But I’m not so I’m (dreaming, dreaming, dreaming) Wish I was caught in dream But I’m not...

Fragments of the past flash before my eyes Never ending streams of images colliding Silhouettes of memories slowly fading away Illusionary seductions haunt me in my dreams Fighting for freedom But the chains I’m in won’t break It will soon be too late I am here, I am lost, I am weak and bothered Is this it? Will I grow when my soul falters? I am here, I am lost, I am weak and bothered (Is this it?) Is this it? (Will I grow?) Will I grow? I am weak and bothered Blinded by the fear of being left alone I seek the truth within as the shadows are closing (...closing in...) Calling oblivion ‘cause the state I’m in won’t change And I’m fighting for freedom ‘Cause the chains I’m in won’t break! (I am here, I am lost, I am weak and bothered) (Is this it?) (Will I grow when my soul falters?) I am here, I am lost, I am weak and bothered Is this it? Will I grow when my soul falters? I am here, I am lost, I am weak and bothered (Is this it?) Is this it? (Will I grow?) Will I grow? When my soul falters! (I am here, I am lost, I am weak and bothered) (Is this it?) (Will I grow when my soul falters?) (I am here, I am lost, I am weak and bothered) (Is this it?) (Will I grow, when my soul falters?) (...)

I’ve been searching for so long For someone to lead the way And I’ve been searching for someone Someone to ease the pain And I’ve been searching for someone Anyone to help me cure my shame Madness caught another victim And the victim’s name is blame What are my options? When the road I’m walking ends? What are my options? When all my ambitions fails? The words you now are reading Are meant for your eyes only I hoped for strength but now I’m leaving ‘Cause I fear my feelings And to not do you justice Is too much for me to bare And as courage is my weakness I choose the cowards’ path What are my options? When the road that I’m walking ends? And what are my options? When the last ship of hope have sailed? What are my options? When the road that I’m walking ends? So what are my options? When my words are all that remains?

Feel free to question me Let out the hate you feel Blame all your doubts on me And you’re caving reality I will not judge, I cannot judge So feel free to question me (I cannot, cannot judge...) No, I cannot judge I would hold you when you’re sleeping I would guide you when you’re drifting I’d be the light you seek in your darkest hour I will show you how to leave it Out of the darkness and into the light Leave it I will show you how to leave it To find a new day and a vision in bright Feel free to question me Let out the hate you feel Walk through insanity And awake into crystal clarity I will show you how to leave it Out of the darkness and into the light Leave it I will show you how to leave it To find a new day and a vision in bright (Oh...) I will show you how to leave it Out of the darkness and into the light Leave it I will show you how to leave it To find a new day and a vision in bright

Lonely thoughts from a lonely mind He fights for recognition Desperate tries only increasing the pressure Falls blind unseen forever The children of today and the children of tomorrow Forced out of a life of their own We are the sinners of these days And only bringers of sorrow We’re only bringers of sorrow... Unforgivable sin Temptation too big Unforgivable sin Temptation too big Unforgivable sin Unforgivable... Wounds inflicted a bloodstained soul Distinct marks of violence Skin fragments under nails and a godforsaken fate (No holy water can save him now) A false prophet, a deceiving smile Arms open – here’s trust to find A man of God, a temptation too big (Unforgivable sin) (No holy water can save him now) (And no prayers can cleanse the lust) (He used, abused, and he raped the trust) The innocence of a life is lost Unforgivable sin Temptation too big Unforgivable sin Temptation too big Unforgivable sin Temptation too big

In a garden of sorrow Among the mourning of souls A silent whisper you must walk alone Even though my tears tells me not to I must walk alone I seek shelter Cause I am hiding As light is our darkness We seek the day But when the shade of the night comes It chases my strength away My steps echoes In this chapel of fall And I see my past being Being left behind I hope I beg Can't someone come and take my soul And take my soul... My sanity has left me My trust died with you What is left are only pieces My tears fall for you I'm gonna fly I'm gonna roll I'm gonna thunder So I place the roses So gently on your grave And I still remember I can feel the flames And I know I have failed And my promises nothing worth I see it all so clear But my words mean nothing I'm gonna fly I'm gonna roll I'm gonna thunder My sanity has left me The trust I once had has died What is left are only pieces All my words been proven lies Been proven lies If I could I would Fly roll thunder All for just another chance to speak with you Show you But my words... But my words mean... Nothing All the battles that I've fought and lost When I'm asleep they come All the screams that I've screamed unheard A week wounded soul Dare I open my eyes and see How much more can they possibly harm me The frustration The hurt The fear Of a week wounded soul They're watching me They're touching me Moving so quick they're all around me Ain't got the right But say they do The Shocking Truth A week wounded soul A deeply wounded soul
