Under their feet, beneath the streets the tunnels are twisting and turning A legend of Crete, a man and a beast the product of hatred and yearning The test of a fool, to slay the bull their quests resulting in failure a man by the name of Theseus came to take on the role of the slayer Forward and down Don't move around The darkness would hinder his guidance Forward and down Aware of the sound of the Minotaur's heart in the silence Alone in the dark being the best man he can be To save their souls for the heart of the girl Ariadne Then, stirred from sleep the creature catches its breath And beast and man brave their fight 'til the beast succumbs, meeting its death Seven with beauty, seven were bold the fourteen would soon be devoured Before they were thrown, a stranger unknown A warrior of poise, wits, and power Before he dared enter the lair a gift of thread he'd be given The man by the name of Theseus claimed the Minotaur won't go on living The solitude breached, the chamber was reached The creature arose from its slumber The fire in its eyes, its monstrous size the warriors days are now numbered Their bodies thrashed and weapons clashed the creature too strong for the warrior a sword to the throat a head held aloft the blood of the innocents spilled no mor

I could say that I have but I have never had my very own private piece of heaven Came close before but never quite there Pretty soon it always turned to hell Throwing out a line in all directions Hoping someone's looking out for me Reaching out my hand, trying to touch the sky to feel the air, the only thing that's free I walk the line between good and evil I walk the line between pleasure and pain When all is lost I find myself alone between Heaven and Hell Hear someone calling out your name Turn around and find that no one's there Only empty shadows in the alleyways of life Always wishing one will have a face You look at me like I killed your mother and you freeze my heart with your icy stare Approaching you for some compassion while you walk on like I'm not there

The whitest of lies the scars that define exposing the truth on your face Shallow or deep the lines that you keep a signature of your disgrace Heads would be bowed of those all around a mass affectation on show They'd hide from the light holding truth out of sight While, deep down, everyone knows Run from your problems Hide from your truths The silver that cuts your face Began in your youth A whisper of sin marks etched in skin revealing the tales that you've spun Deceit cannot hide the words you've denied the traces of what you've become A smile can't betray the marks on display the thin silver lines carve their path In shadows they dwell as the lies weave their spell slowly darkening hearts The scars you see The lies you read The line that cuts deepest, a silent decree words uttered once shielding truths forever remembered The weight on your soul Intent to control A selfless decision with the ultimate toll Bearing the mark evermore for the role of pretender

Rape resources; burn them all Like Eve's temptation before the fall Greed's desire, our guiding light Purging fires; endless night Fan the flames, fan the flames Drain the veins, drain the veins Pay the price, pay the price Sacrifice Trapped on a hellbound planet End drawing ever near Trapped on a hellbound planet Ignorance crystal clear Trapped on a hellbound planet Humanity turns to dust Trapped on a hellbound planet Profit inspires our lust Fractured bedrock; the stage is set Deforestation, a creeping death Oceans dying; a plastic hell Our mass extinction, we toll the bell Our time is almost done We are the setting sun No other dawns will come tomorrow While science showed the signs We'd all be left behind We still destroyed this world we'd borrowed

(SIGHT UNSEEN) Beyond the light, there's a glimpse of tomorrow (MINDS UNCLEAN) Through the night, thoughts are twisted to sorrow (WE FIGHT TO SURVIVE) The demons that thrive in the night (THE NIGHT NEVER-ENDING) And know that one look in their eyes Can turn you to stone The darkest of times are the paths in your mind that you take when belief is abandoned The most heinous of crimes are the points where you find your direction's a choice, not demanded (LOST IN DREAMS) In the labyrinth of doubt, No redemption (SILENT SCREAMS) Playing tricks with your fragile perception (WE FIGHT TO SURVIVE) The whispers of doubt in the wind (THE WIND NEVER-ENDING) And know that one moment of sin Can lead to your fall (WE FIGHT TO SURVIVE) The courage to face your own fears (OUR FEARS NEVER-ENDING) And know that the strength lies in here To break through the walls In the depths of our souls we discover the toll of the thoughts that we battle in silence Through the darkness we'll climb leaving doubt far behind to destroy inner foes with defiance Find the peace within to believe in you can overcome your fears may not be true to yourself and know you are the one

I’ve been living this your way Knowing what its like to be nothing My voice always silenced Forgotten what it’s like to be heard I’d given up looking For any glimpse of daylight Your voice echoes in my head Will I ever be that someone? To you I laid out my soul Exposed the weakness within Acceptance my only goal Is innocence now my sin? All my words have been twisted Turned inwards to cause me pain You’ve used them as weapons That cut deeper than any blade Internal bleeding Draining all of my joy away I guess I must deserve this Or at least it feels that way I cling to the shreds of a dream I wish I were standing alone The life force of love starts to fade I dream of a lifetime alone Kicking and screaming inside An expressionless void with no tells A war between your truth and mine and freedom from this living hell

I can't feel my legs My senses growing numb around my head I feel myself enraged My eyes are smiling and there's happy thoughts instead Please leave me be For I am fear, and I'm scarred, you'll see I don't touch the ground My head is spinning and there's laughter all around I see you speak to me Your mouth is moving but there's nothing coming out Who am I? Me not you Where am I? Here not there Are we now? Evermore Playing in silence Lights are everywhere Colours flashing shouting in my head you try not to stare You're seeing nothing but you're looking anyway

A shape in the night the glint of a scythe The Horseman is coming for you His face, no one knows the Harvester of Souls consults his scroll, the ultimate truth His eyes are the darkness His touch is the light I'm the judge, jury, executioner Life is the crime and you will pay I am judge, jury, I take no prisoners Eternal justice will be served In shadows he strides Where fear and pain reside his blackened stare, where all life transcends In realms never known the Judges walk alone Upholding laws as balance depends The shadow grows near inside, a burning fear collecting payment, long overdue An outstretching hand feared in every land the blood-red sands are slowing for you Prepare to be judged Your soul is going to suffer for eternity the jury's no more Prepare to be judged The cards are dealt you're playing with the dead man's hand And he's done taking score Life is the crime He's come to purify Let him slowly free you from the curse of life! His rule is the law

A distant flicker in the night a dying star that births new light The weary traveller looks behind him A world once luscious, now destroyed and still he stares into the void his hope that someday someone finds him Alone, onwards he rolls into the dark Nightmares persist in his waking sleep No sense of time days become years His only solace, the faith that he keeps A thousand years or more have passed Each one longer than the last The dwelling sailing unencumbered His mind, once racing, now it slows and deep within the traveller knows He'll never waken from his slumber Alone, onwards he rolls into the dark Nightmares persist in his waking sleep No sense of time days become years Searching for solace On and on Knowing forever that he is the last one to live All alone Awake in a nightmare he dreams as he longs for death The days to turn to years as the decades and centuries fade Species evolve as the traveller revolves in his cage Alone, onwards he rolls into the dark Nightmares persist in his waking sleep No sense of time days become years

Waking up to darkness Sleep plagued by fearful dreams A chilling realisation There are none who’ll hear my screams Paralysing horror Claws the borders of my mind Embryonic nightmares Chill my blood and seek to find A playground for the union Of torturer and faith Abyssal anguish grips me With no chance of escape. Down, down, down Into your Hell descend Down, down, down A sinful soul shall not ascend Down, down, down, Into your Hell descend Down, down, down Merciful Death your only friend Strain against my bondage As the scything blade descends Vermin claw across my face As I pray for a quick end The pendulum above me Grows closer with each pass It shreds all hopes of sanity My next breath may be my last Gnawing continues as ropes turn to sinew and fray Freedom in sight yet the walls start to tighten and bay A hand from the dark reaches down as a stranger avails The Inquisition is silenced and falls as Toledo prevails Toledo, united we stand Strong brave and true Fighting forever The Inquisition scourge of the land We defy you Down on our knees? Never Alone, facing death I struggle to weep In darkest Hell, my soul to keep The pendulum blade a forged twisted dream Through shadows of fear I scream. I scream.
