The Damnation Game

Forever cursed by this game, he who plays with sin Incantations summoned up our creations We're players cast in this tale, believe it stranger than fiction This justice thunders our condemnation Falling into innocence by a shadow's kiss He speaks what mortals dare to say, will he betray? If you dare play the game - your descent preordained from their fiery thrones screaming, cursing your name On the terror it breeds - breathing fire and greed watch him jest as you bleed... Screaming enter the Damnation Game We can not keep our heads clear, or our tongues from evil by this sword, certain death at our own hands To have no wants is divine - untrue! platinum waves tainted gold, we can only watch from the shores Falling into innocence by a shadow's kiss He speaks what mortals dare to say, will he betray? If you dare play the game - your descent preordained from their fiery thrones screaming, cursing your name On the terror it breeds - breathing fire and greed watch him jest as you bleed... Screaming enter the Damnation Game [solos] If you dare play the game - your descent preordained from their fiery thrones screaming, cursing your name On the terror it breeds - breathing fire and greed watch him laugh as you bleed... Screaming enter the Damnation Game [SOLO] [Chorus] [Chorus]

Dark desires of the cynic queen laugher echoes her name He feels his breath decay Opens the past to an empty page Watch his life drain away Arrival - dressed to kill, scarlet memories Watching and waiting for curtains to fall Arrival - dressed to kill, it's a tragedy Could you feel sympathy or pain? In a desolate room, the canvas bleeds He slides through his chair rendered prince of fools Dire thoughts of her begotten son, Watch his life drain away Watch his life fade away Arrival - dressed to kill, scarlet memories Watching and waiting for curtains to fall Arrival - dressed to kill, it's a tragedy Could you feel sympathy or pain? [solo] Arrival - dressed to kill, scarlet memories Watching and waiting for curtains to fall Arrival - dressed to kill, it's a tragedy Could you feel sympathy or pain?

Pictures of what used to be, lie in pieces on the floor finds himself in an empty room, her voice calls out to him he opens the door, but there's no one there no one there... Draped in a silken glow of moonlight through the mist I see, a lucid cathedral appears to me. pray for a glimpse of touch of sunlight chain our shadow down, night settles in, my love, you never make a sound. Love is flowing from my fingertips never in control of this domain. All around me, my essence lay watch the vultures circle through the pouring rain. Close your eyes - and try to remember discordant lullabies of days gone by. Close your eyes - on the edge of forever a chance to dream, fast asleep your nightmare ends. As the walls converge around me. castles crumbling down, everything is not as it seems to be. Once more, I feel I must return no more will my soul burn. Dawn breaks the ground, my love, and with it you fade away... Close your eyes - and try to remember discordant lullabies of days gone by. Close your eyes - on the edge of forever a chance to dream, fast asleep your nightmare ends. [solo] Close your eyes - and try to remember discordant lullabies of days gone by. Close your eyes - on the edge of forever a chance to dream, fast asleep your nightmare ends. Oh, my love lives again

Besiege me not for what I am a man with intent in the Devil's den for I know not what to believe yet mad I am not in trust I deceive Radical alterations in my temper grows worse day by day I will offer you extreme opposition Savage curtain closes in on you but I do grieve the evident behind this illusion The fury of demons possessing me my fiendish corruption will fill my need every reason to fulfill my deed. Have we not a perpetual inclination to violate that witch is law merely because we know it is to be? Savage curtain closes in on you but I do grieve the evident behind this illusion [solo] Savage curtain closes in on you but I do grieve the evident behind this illusion

When all the angels cry sadness reigns upon us all white doves fade to black With the absence of the heart we could never smile we can feel the bitter tears Whispers from you - calling out from above visions I can't see, like the wind and your love whispers to you - calling out through the night words I can't hear, graceful figure in white And when you watch over me please guide me all the way you're my judge and my jury As I lay my head to rest your absence will surround me and I'll die another death Whispers from you - calling out from above visions I can't see, like the wind and your love Whispers to you - calling out through the night words I can't hear, graceful figure in white [solo] Whispers from you - calling out from above visions I can't see, like the wind and your love Whispers to you - calling out through the night words I can't hear, graceful figure in white

Lightning flashes across the sky the hands of time keep falling like the pouring rain Soft voice call my name; I've seen this place before This whole thing is mad and still I can see that he awaits for me As the knife cuts to the vein am I going insane? Have I lost my mind? Ten years gone by, my friend, haunting me scars will fade but never die Prisioner waiting out my time looking back through years gone by My mind is always wondering what can I do to seal a different fate, can I undo the things I've done? I lie on the ground without making a sound and cry for my life again As the knife cuts to the vein am I going insane? Have I lost my mind? Ten years gone by, my friend, haunting me scars will fade but never die Staring down at me through my eyes I can see al the terror and pain still live on I can't leave silver strand is pulling me back to mortality [solo] As the knife cuts to the vein am I going insane? Have I lost my mind? Ten years gone by, my friend, haunting me scars will fade but never die

Deep within a tiny box, shadowed truth under the locks Burns inside your heart - then it starts Your soul stretched on the rack the straw that breaks the back Watch the make-up crack... Got no peace of mind, now you're going blind Secrets within, living in sin. No one needs to know, watch the cancer grow Feel it eating - Secrets within. Secrets hurt if they are told, someone's trust you will have sold - Don't tell a soul. Hear the cry inside of you, live the lie or speak the truth - when will it end? Your soul stretched on the rack the straw that breaks the back Watch the make - up crack... Got no peace of mind, now you're going blind Secrets within, living in sin. No one better know, feel the cancer grow Feel it eating - Secrets within your mind. [solo] Got no peace of mind, now you're going blind Secrets within, living in sin. No one needs to know, watch the cancer grow Feel it eating - Secrets within your mind.

Although your words are empty I can hear now, what you feel inside The night is drawing closer You feel you have to hide Your fears are never wrong or right Everything is either black or white It's time to close your eyes now Begin your fantasy - what does it mean? Wake your dreams (commence now...) Into reality Your fears are never wrong or right Everything is either black or white In a Winter's Dream - I'll be there for you In a Winter's Dream - I'll be there for you

Still in bed an hour past I'm drifting through the night As fallen star divides the sky of divinity Taken on a journey And enlightened to the past And if I wake, if I wake, will it embrace me? Awoke at dawn to calm the storm inside of me Take my last breath as I fall into eternity... Risen to an astral flight, I wander through The serene with you Answers to the voices I hear In a Winter's Dream, a dream Empty minds still wait, I'm here Captured by light - my spirit rides through the Night And if I dream to wake - will it embrace me? When the story fades and all is said done I can not wait - pray for daybreak - Will it escape me? Awoke at dawn to calm the storm inside of me Take my last breath as I fall into eternity... Risen to an astral flight, I wander through The serene with you Answers to the voices I hear In a Winter's Dream, a dream (Solo) In a Winter's Dream - I'll be there for you In a Winter's Dream - I'll be there for you Risen to an astral flight, I wander through The serene with you Answers to the voices I hear In a Winter's Dream, a dream
