These hands they feel so numb

Our time has not yet come

The tears that fall make me drown

These fears make me scream so loud

I know that this will be the end

I know that this will be the end of days

When I fall no angels come to greet me

At the wall they hide discreetly

Wings yet folded exonerating

Eyes in darkness contemplating

Your breathe it feels so cold

The end that I foretold

This time cannot be our last

The moments buried in our past

I know that this will be the end

I know that this will be the end of days

When I fall no angels come to greet me

At the wall they hide discreetly

Wings yet folded exonerating

Eyes in darkness contemplating

The mists of time surround us

While worlds collide to send us

Tired and broken but not defeated

Mistakes and memories to be repeated

I feel the strength of my beliefs

sinking through the depths

Through impossible demands

I feel this leaving me

I take whatever you can give

to fill this void in me

The light fades ever faster now

It's fading in me

I take this pain before my eyes

and bury it inside

The battles rage within my mind

Destroy my sense of pride

I can't forget

that with this breath

you stole my point of view

I tried and now I'm sorry

I'm sorry

This time the blames on you

I take this pain before my eyes

and bury it inside

The battles rage within my mind

Destroy my sense of pride

I can't forget

that with this breath

you stole my point of view

I tried and now I'm sorry

I'm sorry

This time the blames on you

This time the blame's on

This time the blame's on

This time the blame's on you

Forget me not, though times are lost

Forget me not, I knew the cost

Forget me not when far from shelter

Forget me not, nor what I told you

Forgive me not the times long gone

For fighting back when I was wrong

for hurting you with poisoned words

Forgive me not for my concerns

Remember me, the words I write

to hold you close, warm in the night

Remember me, your treasured soul

Remember me when you grow old

I will be here

Your memory will hold me near

I will be here

To hold you, keep you free from fear

They say the eyes are windows, gateways to the soul

but I'm not sure I have a soul at all

The voice of reason shatters on the ground

A sense of prophecy grows near (grows near)

You say that you can beg for hours

You say you're always on your knees

The evidence negates your words

and promises you never keep

You say you never had a chance, to prove yourself

but all you had were second tries (so many second tries)

In all of this you played the victim, played the game

In all of this I could not win (never win)

You say that you can beg for hours

You say you're always on your knees

The evidence negates your words

and promises you never keep

I know that things could never change, you'll never see

the hurt you brought here all along (all along)

but I'll take victory over vengeance (victory over vengeance)

I'll take just knowing I am free (I am free)

You say that you can beg for hours

You say you're always on your knees

The evidence negates your words

and promises you never keep

Would you hold me close tonight

and tell me that you love me

These fears grow ever deeper

and the light is fading fast

Keep me safe within your arms

and protect me from myself

The dreams grow ever closer

these words could be my last

As my time grows shorter

let me know that you are near

Hold me in those eyes so deep

Forever calm, forever peace

Tell me you won't fall with me

I couldn't bear the feeling that

you gave up your security

and drowned within my fear

I cannot say how much is left

This takes so much from me

But always you were, and will remain

my saviour, my love, my sanctuary

As my time grows shorter

let me know that you are near

Hold me in those eyes so deep

Forever calm, forever peace

With defiance I control

the secrets in your mind,

comfort you with darkness

to bring peace I keep you blind

To keep away the demons

I offer up a mask

I'll offer you forgiveness

All you have to do is ask

With thunder I will deafen

the voices in your head

I'll fill you up with confidence

and then I'll leave you for dead

I'll be everything you need

My lies will heal you as you bleed

I'll be there whenever you need me

I'll be whatever you want me to be

I'll keep you warm when you are cold

With me you'll never become old

I'll give you shelter from the fear

then steal away all you hold dear

I'll be the only friend you'll need

I'll facilitate your greatest deed

I'll feed from you down to the core

I'll leave you always wanting more

You'll have no need for those you care for

You'll think you're God and still want more

It'll be too late by the time you see

Everything you are is me

Uncertainty takes over

Chaos reigns the land

The cry goes out to challenge them

and to sacrifice the damned

Guided by their sanctity

the chosen and the brave

move forwards to the battle cry

and on towards their grave

A few too many heroes

dreamt up to save the world

created out of desperate times

a bravery unfurled

The cheers among the thousands

the failures of the weak

the knowledge of what's yet to gain

the protection of the meek

A few too many heroes

dreamt up to save the world

created out of desperate times

a bravery unfurled

(br)

The last of many heroes

broken by the few

broken by the consequence

of dreams to start anew

Marching into darkness

the bloodshed yet to come

forwards to the enemy

to the sound of distant drums

The last of many heroes

broken by the few

broken by the consequence

of dreams to start anew

You fill your pockets with the dust

and with the sands of time

Holding onto memories

that fade inside your mind

Screaming to avoid

the limits in your way

The limits you impressed on yourself

for fear what they might say

A thousand nights, a thousand days

a thousand ways to die

A thousand angry mariners

gaze upon the sky

The farthest light fades faster

than a wish upon a star

A well of empty promises

a reminder from afar

Turning to the darkness

in a sea of broken dreams

To chase away the loneliness

and quieten the screams

To soothe away the anger

that froths among the water

Searching for a peace of mind

a safety in the harbor

A thousand nights, a thousand days

a thousand ways to die

A thousand angry mariners

gaze upon the sky

The farthest light fades faster

than a wish upon a star

A well of empty promises

a reminder from afar

A million stories to be told

a million torches light the sky

A million guiding prophets

come to teach us all to die

Lost at sea devoid of life

the empty vessels sing

A million ships are sinking

dying from within

My solitude breaks me

as I rise from this place

Confronted by the actions

that I tried not to face

Beaten by the anger

that holds so tight in me

Frozen by the broken dreams

of what I can never be

Shed the burden you placed on yourself

Show the scars, show who you really are

Reach for things to make you whole

You've survived and now you see that you have come so far

Tied by insecurities

that bait you through your life

Restricted by the consequences

the cause of every strife

Turn your back and walk away

from all that you held dear

Blinded to the love

to reasons you should remain here

Shed the burden you placed on yourself

Show the scars, show who you really are

Reach for things to make you whole

You've survived and now you see that you have come so far

Shed the burden you placed on yourself

Show the scars, show who you really are

Reach for things to make you whole

You've survived and now you see that you have come so far

Don't give up now

You survived and see that you have come so far

The pride that I once felt

has left me now

Broken pieces fill the emptiness in me

Floating embers scatter

and burn the soul

Leaving scars that show the pain that lies in me

Take what I have left

and bury me

Hide the truth I sought

the weight that burdened me

Encumbered by the knowledge

the possibilities

Blind to what lay beside me

something to set me free

Torn within myself

locked within this lie

Ever searching for the promise never kept

Losing sight of ground

floating high above

No net to guard my safety as I fall

Take what I have left

and bury me

Hide the truth I sought

the weight that burdened me

Encumbered by the knowledge

the possibilities

Blind to what lay beside me

something to set me free

Drifting far away

seeking peace at last

A restful place to keep me from my fear

Take what I have left

and bury me

Hide the truth I sought

the weight that burdened me

Encumbered by the knowledge

the possibilities

Blind to what lay beside me

something to set me free

oh please come set me free
