A solitary light, not a soul arounds us As it burns in my mind, Illuminating the despair It goes on into the night, The hours go by quickly Like every stranger passing By pretending not to care Now it's everywhere that I look Their faces all seem so unreal Like they're ripped from the pages of books Now they're lost and never revealed... Now the haze is setting in, And the silence begs the question... Could it be just from the wine? That we're numb beyond repair So, we slip back into the light, To hide from the shadows But they follow close behind, Whispering in our ears Now it's everywhere that I look Their faces all seem so unreal Like they're ripped from the pages of books Now they're lost and never revealed... The light is now fading A shadow walks by my side She whispers "You must let go now" And Maridian's waiting... She tells me I'm not alone It's as if my world is coming down...

It isn’t the time now to tell her our plans It isn’t our fault that this nightmare won’t end At first it was like a dream Now I’m only reminded of death She was a shadow on the walls of my room How quickly those same walls became my tomb Oh how they welcomed me to sleep Now I can only wait for the dawn and weep... I wait for the dawn and weep There is a dark man at the door Waiting for me to step outside Nobody sleeps here anymore If only a dream would let me hide... I’m lying anxious in the light of the moon Though beyond the curtain some devil still looms I wait here paralyzed with fear And I wonder how much time I have left I come to quickly there’s a knock on my door So many dark memories flood back in once more I wish for a way that I can run and hide There’s only one way out but I just can’t go outside I just can’t go outside There is a dark man at the door Waiting for me to step outside Nobody sleeps here anymore If only a dream would let me hide... I see someone standing in the shadows He won’t come into the light Maybe I’ll go to him and see just what he has in store for me It can’t be worse than another sleepless night...

Travel on my friend, Your memory will never die... From nothing you made a world your own This is not the end, your music remains alive The cadence of life can't resolve Travel on my friend, your story forever told... From nothing you made a world your own This is not the end, you'll always e by my side When I feel like I can't go on anymore..... Travel on my friend Travel on

Here I stand all alone Have my mind turned to stone Have my heart filled up with ice To avoid it's breaking twice Thanx to you, my dear old friend But you can't help, this is the end Of a tale that wasn't right I won't have no sleep tonight In my heart, in my soul I really hate to pay this toll Should be strong, young and bold But the only thing I feel is pain It's alright, we'll stay friends Trusting in my confidence And let's say it's just alright You won't sleep alone tonight In my heart, in my soul I really hate to pay this toll Should be strong, young and bold But the only thing I feel is pain With my heart, with my soul Some guys cry you bought and sold They've been strong, young and bold And they say, play this song again In my heart, in my soul I really hate to pay this toll Should be strong, young and bold But the only thing I feel is pain

We question ourselves till all is revealed Till we're left with nothing No cards left to play No mystery left unrevealed I gave you my words, then you needed more If time wasn't spent on such trivial things Then you would have noticed before When you give nothing Nothing is what you'll receive So here now again we try and stay whole So easy we fall into a well of despair So easy to wallow alone Sometimes mirrors only show What we want to see And we'll fall into despair And we'll get no reprieve As we descend further down You see what you want to see In our ode to despair And we'll get no reprieve In our ode to despair Time just slips away

Picking up the pieces As I wander through the rain We've made it through to the other side now we're allowed to feel the pain December looms before us and the nights grow cold and grey And it wears the shroud of tragedy Still it fails to hide it's shame Casting off the shadows That eclipse the morning rays There's no way back from misery Until you put the past away If I could see behind your eyes what words do not betray We would save us both a little time And could cast aside these chains But under your spell my will it just melts away There's no way I can escape I'm taken to another plane As I wait for the night to fall Dragged onward into the end I submit to your embrace Not sure if I will endure The cold on this long walk home... For the Long walk home... Leaving all behind We take the long way back To a better time in another world In a lost and distant past I never thought that I Ever write these words Never thought that i'd Write the final verse Leaving all behind Leaving all behind Write the final verse...

Well, I won't back down No, I won't back down You can stand me up at the gates of hell But I won't back down No, I'll stand my ground Won't be turned around And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down Gonna stand my ground And I won't back down (I won't back down) Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out (I won't back down) Hey, I will stand my ground And I won't back down Well I know what's right I got just one life In a world that keeps on pushin' me around But I'll stand my ground And I won't back down (I won't back down) Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out (I won't back down) Hey, I will stand my ground And I won't back down Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out (I won't back down) Hey, I won't back down (I won't back down) Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out (I won't back down) Hey, I will stand my ground And I won't back down No, I won't back down

She tells me I'm not alone It's as if my world is coming down... Time is not worried, Doesn't care about plans The things we create Will be ripped from our hands If I can't pretend that I'm not losing this fight And all is forsaken But the memory of a slowly dissolving lie... We can't take it back No...I will not succumb I will not obey, into fires of hell I'm alone but I am not afriad I have never shown you what i AM Or what I can make out of this shell Seen from above into the world below Am I lost? Alone on this final stage the spotlight gone... So afraid... I'm leaving here to a place I do not know Is this the end? Gone from this existence will I go on? Somewhere in time to reappear... like an echo: My voice will carry on. Travel on my friend, Your memory will never die... From nothing you made a world your own This is not the end, your music remains alive The cadence of life can't resolve Travel on my friend, your story forever told... From nothing you made a world your own This is not the end, you'll always e by my side When I feel like I can't go on anymore.....
