In my dreams, I've seen visions so profound Images revealed to me All is lost, may their souls now rest in peace Never will they rise again The madness grows and swallows me as I begin to see What was meant to be my destiny? Sanctity, is it only in my mind? Or will it be reality? Prophecy, has the future been foretold? Or is it just insanity? Warning signs are all around No mercy for the blind Innocence cries out in pain What chaos will tomorrow find? No future for the world we know The reaper comes to claim his own The end is here we can’t ignore So shut your eyes and cry no more

Don’t tell me I’m dreaming I know this is real No sense in denying the way that I feel Angel of mercy Vision in white She holds the key to eternal light So long I have wandered alone every day Waiting for someone to show me the way Angel of mercy Vision in white She holds the key to eternal light …and then without warning came pain and despair Awakened to find that she was never there Searching for something that I’ll never find This angel of mercy was all in my mind Angel of mercy Vision in white She holds the key to eternal light Cursed by desire Bewitched by its spell Reaching for heaven to save me from hell

I believe there is nothing that can save this world we’re in Still we proceed, but won’t succeed When trying to alleviate our sins, we must concede And realize that’s the way it is and so shall stay Until we close our eyes and end our days What did the maker have in mind when hand held clay? And did he know we’d throw it all away? Who are we and do we know just where our purpose lies? Our eyes are blind By his design temptation takes a hold of weaker minds Damned for all time We compromise our values for a momentary gain To compensate for our internal pain What do we need to do to reach a higher plane? Or are we doomed to live a life insane? When will it end? When will we see the error of our ways? Will we descend when we reach the end of days? So far away, from where subconscious minds would choose to be Why can’t we see? All we fear, in our own image in another’s eyes The mirror lies This soul has died, a sacrificial rite to be reborn Upon this sight the lesser blessed will mourn But they are blind to the ones whose hearts are torn The sinner’s deeds will bear the makers scorn Free my soul Take the pain Release me from these chains so I can live again Hear the call He awaits I see the fallen one beyond infernal gates

One by one the servants of the night convene in secrecy It has begun black magic ritual obscene, a blasphemy Thirteen minds aligned Have gathered once again, so it begins Upon this hallowed night Their souls will be condemned for all their sins I can see demonic shadows in the night A dreadful night Haunting me like specters in the pale moon light Unearthly bright Thirteen minds aligned Have gathered once again, so it begins Upon this hallowed night Their souls will be condemned for all their sins Baptized by the devils rain Their wicked minds must be insane They bow their heads as if to pray Their master speaks and they obey Lord of this infernal world Reveals himself as was foretold Tortured by demonic cries The end unfolds before my eyes Thirteen minds aligned Have gathered once again, so it begins Upon this hallowed night Their souls will be condemned for all their sins

Surrounded by walls, confining me This desolation mocks my final plea Another scar I feel the pain Can’t find the strength to face the strain I set my course, no turning back Damnation turns my world to black So withdrawn, my mind is numb I watch it all become undone A growing fear, my own disgrace A drowning mind in a dark embrace The silence deafening my ears It wields the shackles that I’ve worn for years No god above, no hell below This is the only world I know The path I chose has lead me here And now the time has come to face my fear I’ve served my time, I’ve served it well Now I’m nothing, but an empty shell I can’t forgive, I won’t forget I’ll turn my back with no regret All I had is what I gave An empty soul, a shallow grave No god above, no hell below This is the only world I know The path I chose has lead me here And now the time has come to face my fear There is no hope for tomorrow I’m longing for my dying day I will not wander in sorrow Death is just a breath away

Show me the places forgotten by time The dark empty spaces deep inside my mind There once was a purpose, a grasp of the real Now all that is left, is the coldness I feel Did I leave the world behind? Or was I abandoned? Searching for truth but I end up empty handed I’ve waited forever, now take me away The seventh day of never, the time is today The nightmare is over, the dream has begun A new day is dawning, I rise with the sun Did I leave the world behind? Or was I abandoned? Searching for truth but I end up empty handed

Nothing more than what you see Is just as it appears still the other half was waiting Silent, all these years I tried to close my eyes I tired to wish it all away Knowing all the while there soon would come a day Now the time has come I won’t stay silent anymore Now the other half will be the man I was before I closed the inner sanctum of a tortured mind Painted all of the windows black and left the world behind
