The city starts to wake

As the night draws in

You lay alone

Enveloped from within

The fears start to swell

You know that nothing’s changed

Nothing you can do

When your mind’s so rearranged

(ch)

Is there really no-one left to call

Or is it you just don’t know what to say

I know how much it tears you up inside

I understand just how hard you have tried

Conflicted and unknowing what it means

To bleed for something you cannot explain

You spend your life wanting to be seen

You’re trapped as just another in-between

Crawl into a space

You can’t hide from who you are

But the sight of other people

Feels like a thousand tiny scars

This can’t go on forever

This is the point at which you break

Fake smiling happy faces

Are more than you can take

(ch)

Is there really no-one left to call

Or is it you just don’t know what to say

I know how much it tears you up inside

I understand just how hard you have tried

Conflicted and unknowing what it means

To bleed for something you cannot explain

You spend your life wanting to be seen

You’re trapped as just another in-between

This is where it ends

Enough of all the lies

Tonight is the time to fix their price

Rusted in the storm and fragile in the wind

The scars grow ever deeper, a pleasure and a sin

I’ve nothing left to live for, nothing left to gain

I’ve nothing but the pain, nothing but the pain

I tremble in the wreckage, I stumble through the blame

The stars are looking tired, nothing feels the same

I can’t go any faster, weighed down by the shame

I think I’ve lost again, I think I’ve lost again

I finally thought I’d leave here, never thought I’d stay

You burned me with your fire and left me in the rain

You battled through my armor but I’m still the same

I’ve nothing left to say, nothing left to say

And I won’t feel any pain, no I won’t feel any pain

Oh no

I guess I’ve done it again

For a time it was so wonderful

And then

I found it hard to keep it all

I lost belief in everything again

(ch)

And I’ll throw it all away

‘cos there were rules they should obey

As soon as something feels amiss

There’s a destruction I cannot resist

Oh yeah

While it lasted it was so good

But good is never permanent

And now

I know this will keep happening to me

‘cos I don’t know how to make me let it be

Burning

The eyes that fill with hunger and with yearning

The power held to stop the world from turning

The ever pending never ending spurning

Baying

Eager to begin the final slaying

Falling to our knees, all that’s left is praying

Unholy creatures roam the earth, my sanities straying

Screaming

The voices I can’t escape, my eyes are streaming

Telling myself Oh God I must be dreaming

There’s nothing left, no life that’s worth redeeming

Silence

An end, there’s no one left to fall to violence

The end, and only a memory of vengeance

The wolves are here to serve us with our penance

(ch)

Breathing fire

Tears of blood

Mountains of ashes

In the flood

Breathing fire

Tears of blood

Everything burning

I felt my breath

My lungs are burning

Can you see me

Its fading out

They'll soon be here

They know our time

I tried to reach you

but it’s too late

As they're approaching

I sealed my fate

I knew my failures

had been observed

I hit the floor

My eyes were bleeding

It’s getting closer

This is the end.

This is the end

I'm scared to bleed

I'm scared to dream

I'm scared to breathe

I'm scared that this is all there is

Is this all I'll ever see

I am too scared to close my eyes

Trapped inside this emptiness

A time surrounding me

A fading memory of a kiss

A bleeding energy like this

The hollow world inside me

I never fought so hard

Against the dreams that live within me

Gliding through the time we lost

Endless grains of sand

Children praying for their answers

For their answers

For their answers

For their answers

A wish is made with tears

How little we know

Yet we stand on the shoulders of giants

and they take away our fears

(ch)

In distant days

From time we lost

Out of the maze

The final cost

A dream is like a mountain top

Too high to reach

But we climb ladders to the start

Where brightness never stops

Time is like a desert

An endless sea of sand

Yet we endless walk among it

As it runs through our hands

Hope is fading into dust

Ever sinking into black

We look to the skies and pray emptily

As we lose our hope in trust

The light we knew has come

A single ray glows

Faith rises from the nothingness

As we hear the silent drums

The headlights blind me

From street to street the souls all look the same

Beaten and broken

Faces with no name

(ch)

The rain dances on the sidewalk

A taste of the stars

I follow in hope and lose myself

Into a testament to the sky

The journey seems so endless

Cities empty of life, the silence echoes so loud

Faceless whispers

Lives torn apart

I do not want to be here

In this cacophony of silences and the weariness of shame

Despised and alone

I want to go home

(ch)

Please god now let me die before I wake

Please god it's more than I can take

Please god I've gotten in way too deep

Please god don’t let me go to sleep

I pray for myself  'cos no one else will

There's a light here somewhere

Way out of sight

While I choke on the darkness all around

I walk the road by myself 'cos no one else will

This path that's sinking fast

Entombed by wrath

Overcome by blindness I am bound

I die every night with no one else here

Sleep my mortal enemy

Lost within the noise

Past, future, present through my eyes

Please god now let me die before I wake

Please god it's more than I can take

Please god I've gotten in way too deep

The million faces of the sky

A million voices calling

The light of prayers sent through my eyes

The time of gods is falling

(ch)

And for the end of time we wait

Relying on mercy and might

And time moves endlessly towards our fate

As we slide into our past and seek the light

Gazing at the clouds, a realization

So small and insignificant we are

And from the dawn of civilization

We never really came that far

The gods that we betrayed and set in flames

They burned with our desire

Falling from heavens warm embrace

Dreams of salvation from the fire
