Chasing the Grail

All I ever knew When you left was suddenly taken My skies no longer blue And my faith mortally shaken Pain From my pores meat With the screams of sharpened cries Will I have to live my life Under Blackened Skies Prick my skin with your pin do me in But don't forget to say you care... for me Tables turn like seasons change Ups and downs of passing years arrange Confused from my heart blinding both of my eyes I realize I live my life Under Blackened Skies Crying out for a Savior but my screams nobody hears All I need is your shelter and the strength to concur my fears I don't think I'm strong enough to make it through the night So I have to live my life Under Blackened Skies Sing my song do me wrong don't be long But don't forget to say you don't need me Feed my pain I'm drowning please don't leave You think I'm blind but I don't want to see Tables turn like seasons change Ups and downs of passing years arrange Confused from my heart blinding both of my eyes I realize I live my life Under Blackened Skies Lost beyond the horizon My sun drifting away Swallowed up by the blackness No light to help me feel safe The shadows start to whisper But they only tell me lies Now I have to live my life Under Blackened Skies Hearts they break and shatter bleed me dry The pain and fear shows damage from your lies Tables turn like seasons change Ups and downs of passing years arrange Confused from my heart blinding both of my eyes I realize I live my life Under Blackened Skies All I ever knew When you left was suddenly taken My skies no longer blue And my faith mortally shaken Pain From my pores meat With the screams of sharpened cries Will I have to live my life Under Blackened Skies

I can climb the highest peak I can stop the war I can force the dumb to speak I can lock the door I can locate treasures lost I can see the blind I can buy, no mind the cost I can read your mind It's so hard to let go of the past Forever on my mind I never dreamed things could change so fast What do I have left? I won't be your martyr anymore No longer victimized by your scorn Nevermore the passive one in this War Cause' I won't be your martyr anymore I can walk the needles eye I can pay the price I can live after I die I can roll the dice I can fly where eagles nest I can stand or fall I can pass the hardest test I can beat them all It's so hard to let go of the past Forever on my mind I never dreamed things could change so fast What do I have left? I won't be your martyr anymore No longer victimized by your scorn Nevermore the passive one in this War Cause' I won't be your martyr anymore I can hear the silent scream I can pull the switch I can orchestrate a dream I can burn the witch I can choose not to decide I can ride the sky I can ebb and flow the tide I can wonder why

I've been searching oh I fear For what seems like a thousand years Only to find that I'm losing my mind I've been standing to the side A blackened soul as my guide Only to see there's a price to be free You can cast a magic spell Or pull the sword from the the stone Until you find the Grail that you've been looking for You'll always be alone Where is this Grail I've been searching for? So many years since you've been gone On all the roads I have traveled on Where is this grail I've been searching for? I have run so far away from the stench of decay Only to learn I should never have turned I'm completely at fault, to a pillar of salt I've been reduced feel the pull of the noose You can cast a magic spell Or pull the sword from the the stone Until you find the Grail that you've been looking for You'll always be alone Where is this Grail I've been searching for? So many years since you've been gone On all the roads I have traveled on Where is this grail I've been searching for?

Standing in the shadow Behind a wall Made of fear Cracking the foundations Dissolve the glue With my tears (Pre-chorus) Now I'm standing at the crossroads And I know which way to go But I'm not strong enough to get there on my own (Chorus) I'm at an end Losing control Trying to mend This Broken Soul Give me one more chance For me to show How much I need you to heal my broken soul Cannot break cycle Rat on the wheel spinning clear Finding such frustrations a World undone horizons near (Pre-chorus) Now I'm standing at the crossroads And I know which way to go But I'm not strong enough to get there on my own (Chorus) I'm at an end Losing control Trying to mend This Broken Soul Give me one more chance For me to show How much I need you to heal my broken soul Now I'm living at the mercy of the hourglass Threatened by the mysteries of the day All I have are the memories and the photographs Regretting things that I forgot to say Standing in the shadow Behind a wall Made of fear (Pre-chorus) Now I'm standing at the crossroads And I know which way to go But I'm not strong enough to get there on my own (Chorus) I'm at an end Losing control Trying to mend This Broken Soul Give me one more chance For me to show How much I need you to heal my... my broken soul

It's a promise that he made to himself But the thrill puts his pact on the shelf Locked in a prison he built over time Made of bitterness, hate, and his lies A life on trial a sad refrain A mans denial of pain sustained He can't control the deepening hole He feels true peace with rage unleashed The devil feeds on my thoughts Even when I pray A broken promise that I'll Never lose it again? The darkness sucks on my soul And keeps the sun away I can't stop it so now Let the madness begin So many voices bounce around in his head Some tell him that he'd be better off dead? Can't shake the urge when the madness calls So set the world ablaze and watch the kingdom fall A marriage failed a time in jail A future bright turned black as night He grins with hate all hope is erased He can't resist the demons kiss The devil feeds on my thoughts Even when I pray A broken promise that I'll Never lose it again? The darkness sucks on my soul And keeps the sun away I can't stop it so now Let the madness begin [Solo] The devil feeds on my thoughts Even when I pray A broken promise that I'll Never lose it again? The darkness sucks on my soul And keeps the sun away I can't stop it so now Let the madness begin The devil feeds on my thoughts Even when I pray A broken promise that I'll Never lose it again? The darkness sucks on my soul And keeps the sun away I can't stop it so now Let the madness begin Now let the madness begin

When my demons start to call I need you to save me And if the heavens were to fall I'd need you to pray for me And even in my darkest hour When my world's gone sour When I look out into the night I know you're always there for me Times are tough And I've lost it all Had enough And I've hit the wall Stopped and struck By a semi truck of bad luck Heart turns hard And I've lost the dream Soul's been scarred And I wanna scream! Life's been trashed Like a piece of glass That's been smashed And when my demons start to call I need you to save me And if the heavens were to fall I'd need you to pray for me And even in my darkest hour When my world's gone sour When I look out into the night I know you're always there for me Torn apart And I've ripped my wings Stalled at the start And I've dropped the ring Slapped by fate Passed my expiration date, I'm too late Left for dead And I've jumped the shark Poison fed And I've pinched the spark Punched and slugged Like a pickpockets' tug, I've been mugged

Well I wonder bout the hunger That I've felt inside Forced changes causing longing I gave my will to survive Don't wait for tomorrow Make it today You'll never find a better time to lean on your faith So drop to your knees Before it's too late And reach up to the sky Hey Hey Hey Like a thunderbolt from Heaven Swinging that hammer You know that God He pounds his nails One...Two...Three When that drum beats up in Heaven Swinging that Hammer You know that God He pounds his nails Seven wishes unchained madness Paid the price for a dream Fates warning Forever thinking God decides sight unseen Don't wait for tomorrow Make it today You'll never find a better time to lean on your faith So drop to your knees Before it's too late And reach up to the sky Hey Hey Hey Like a thunderbolt from Heaven Swinging that hammer You know that God He pounds his nails One...Two...Three When that drum beats up in Heaven Swinging that Hammer You know that God He pounds his nails Then I stop and look and die And never have to wonder why I'm screaming but I remember that God pounds his nails.

Like a rat on a sinking ship It strains to save its skin Trying hard to crack the whip My body reeks with sin On the TV the preacher's preach About a better world I had to laugh when I read the speech And take it for what it's worth And if you think it's fixed Then you're just a fool You can't change the world When you can't even find the truth I don't want to live without her Even though at times I've lost my mind Hear the sound of the crying kid Count how many tears Hear the laugh of the drunken dad Count how many beers Into the shools the teachers teach About the sins of the past Blaming others for the problems here They can kiss my ass And if you think it's fixed Then you're just a fool You can't change the world When you can't even find the truth I don't want to live without her Even though at times I've lost my mind I will never give up on her Just give me one more chance And watch me shine

Suspicious signs Within your mind Will make this jinx complete And now you find The end of times When the black cat crossed your feet You must beware Death's everywhere When the dog howls at the moon The evil eye You'll surely die Unless you find your penny soon Thursday the twelfth Is bad for my health Tomorrow is worse Predicting my curse What does it all mean Friday The 13 Five leaf clover The Good luck is over The mirror cracks in two A horseshoe found Good luck abounds For the horse, it's not so true Snuff the candles But can you handle If the flame remains aglow Good fortune shot And now you've got Another year to go

Just look around and take a snap-shot At the shadows distorting it all The walking coffins with painted faces The evolution beginning to stall Watch as the day turns to twilight, turning old Feel my skin start to shiver, I'm so cold Only when we're open to the truth Can we see what is real That there is so much more than this The more we look, the more we find And all the past we leave behind Believe in nothing, what they see Never digging to reveal What lies beneath the shallow surface Is reserved to those who kneel Scared by what's in the mirror, save my soul Dead to the blackness around me, take me home Only when we're open to the truth Can we see what is real That there is so much more than this The more we look, the more we find And all the past we leave behind Oh lord, we need this great revival To change the hearts of man to ensure our own survival So stand up and understand the need To look inside ourselves to know this great revival starts with me What'cha gonna do when you've hit the bottom And the good ol' days are long forgotten What'cha gonna do when it all falls down Come on and join our great revival What'cha gonna do when you've lost your focus And found yourself all consumed in darkness What'cha gonna do when no one seems to care Come and join our great revival Only when we're open to the truth Can we see what is real That there is so much more than this The more we look, the more we find And all the past we leave behind Oh lord, we need this great revival To change the hearts of man to ensure our own survival So stand up and understand the need To look inside ourselves to know this great revival starts with me

[I. The Tribulation] The day of Judgment has arrived Only the blessed shall survive The second coming of Jesus Christ Returning like a thief in the night A tribulation, seven years The prophet's right the end is near The written fall of Babylon All believers dead and gone Chosen people ostracized Take the mark or surely die To buy or sell, must be affixed The Antichrist, Six Six Six Ushering in the End of Days Destroying those who've lost their way Only the blessed shall survive Armageddon has arrived [chorus] Wormwood falls from the sky A soul denied, twice will die Wormwood falls in the sea Humanity will cease to be Wormwood falls form the sky A soul denied, twice will die Wormwood falls in the sea Humanity will cease to be [II. The Seven Seals] On through the dead of night See the four horsemen ride I saw the lamb open wide The seven seals are broken The white horse is given a crown The conqueror bent on conquest The red horse is given a sword Taking peace from the world, slayer of men The black horse is given a scale The deliverer bringing famine The pale horse is given the force Die by the sword, sickness and plagues Souls that are in slain Testimony maintained The sun a black snake Devastating earthquake Heaven is still, raining fire at will Heaven is still, raining fire at will [III. The Seven Trumpets] Seven trumpets Seven angles Seven trumpets Seven angles A hailstorm of blood Falling like a flood A mountain in flames Plugging in the waves Locusts arise To torture, not kill them Massive attacks Two hundred million Booming thunder The lightning destroyer The bride did not know her The whore of Babylon IV. The seven Thunders Seal up what the seven thunders know Trumpet of the seven angels blow [V. The Seven Bowl Judgments] The judgments of God Slaughter all in its path The angles of God Pour the bowls of his wrath The first Vail Unleashes sores on the children of the beast The second angle Pours his bowl on the sea, killing all the living creatures The third Vail Unleashes blood on the rivers and springs The fourth angle Pours his bowl on the sun, scorching people with the fire The fifth Vail Unleashes night on the kingdom of the beast The sixth angle Pours his bowl Euphrates runs dry, armies walk across The seventh Vail Unleashes hell, every mountain is razed The mother whore Holds the cup in her hand, filled with filthy adultery [chorus] [VI. The Thousand Years] I saw heaven open wide On the white horse Justice rides Clad in red roves dipped in blood His name is the Word of God Beast is captured, burned in fire Locked away the king of liars One thousand years is Satan's stay Begins this resurrection day Warning sign, a prophecy Rising from the eternal sea Down on your knees start to pray Ray of son to light the way Will this happen, a story cast Or a fable from the past Make your choice this is no game Will the Book Of Life bear your name?
