2. Blind Suffering
Looking back I smile at the voices in my head,
That always said to keep this place secret
a spell that allows me to see
Because of all the subtle words,
I hear you scream
I've tread and spanned the horizon
To cross the blood red
I strike down the faceless and unknown
Now I'm branded
I fall down into your own despair
Voices within
Show me how and show me where
Blind suffering
Let me in, get me out
Lost my soul without a trace
Found it again in my secret place
The final tear
Will be lost in rain
First comes the light
Then comes the pain
My body trembles in fear
No longer controlled
Watching my dreams disappear
In the palace of gold
3. Shadowland
I am the one, I can turn to the sun
Here in my own destiny
I used to bleed, like a suicide I need,
How come, I'm my own enemy
Don't you have the strength,
No desire for shore,
Weakened by the haze
4. Checkmate In Red
So empty inside
and I'm loosin' my pride
Thrill exploding out of me
Down to the ground
and my head's full o'sound
No innocence between
A victim of circumstance
Never had a chance
Sacrificed without a fight
Carry on with this lie
No matter how hard I try
Suffering one last time
and you don't know
I'll touch and add you to my fame
Welcome to
my wonderland
5. Hollow Hideaway
A bleeding heart, a seal of fate
There is no crime, I'll reinstate
Love is a weakness, Lust conquers all
Cross my soul and hope to die
Where do you draw the line?
Enter my mind, can you stop the rage
No one shall mourn or pity your grave
Believe the lie, the line that you toe,
If you just do, do as you're told
The meaning of lust
The soul of life
When you're screaming from the sky
It's now or never
Inside your brain
It's a hollow hideaway
8. Under Lights
What do we need and where do we go
When we get where we don't know
Tell them what they wanna hear
but what's the meaning
Always knew it was them or me
I always knew what I wanted to be
So many things I just can't explain
Is this the reason.
Too much tension brings me down
Touched and found and turned around
I'm really lost in fear and sin,
thinkin' how it might have been
speaking my mind to those who find
under lights made me blind
Read the rights a prophet's word,
we've learned to deal with the absurd
9. Cycles
Who do you wanna believe
Where do you want me to hide
You just can't escape your past
A vision from your mind
What do you think, and what do you see
What do you read in their eyes
The promise cast, the hopeful lured
Stabbing by the pointed words
Make me
Help me try to understand
Hate me
Just because of who I am
Over the walls
where all your memories are lost forever
Hiding in your soul
I've seen it all before
Into the madness of the unknown now or never
Cycles forevermore
Why do you tell what you feel
Why do trust in the lies
High paid thief, another vote
Sharpened lies cut your throat
Lack of faith and hell awaits
Would be my destiny
For what you feel is right and sane
10. Behind
If only I could trace that light
To ignore the blind
But you don't know
so go ahead and find your sight
I'm out of my mind and now it's time,
to count the bodies dead
last thing you know
a place to go you better check your head
You can never justify, no more reasons to excuse,
And you never can deny (all the tricks you try)
I can't understand, what's between you and me
and I feel no shame what I used to be
so I try to hide and deny my thoughts
What I keep inside, I'll never look behind
Hold your head up, bite your tongue
So you dig your own grave
Speak your mind or sell your soul
stand before you fall
I've walked upon the water
without even getting wet
and there's really not a thing
that I regret
everything I used to be has spiraled into insanity
every night I sweat and bleed
