Wake the ones and rise tonight
Fallen souls we shine so bright
Rise now and ever
forgotten memories
No one can touch us

Unholy Confessions
"I'll try," she said as he walked away
"Try not to lose you"
Two vibrant hearts could change
Nothing tears the being more than deception, unmasked fear
"I'll be here waiting tested and secure"
Nothing hurts my world
Just affects the ones around me
When sin's deep in my blood
You'll be the one to fall
"I wish I could be the one
The one who won't care at all
But being the one on the stand
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me
When time soaked with blood turns its back
I know it's hard to fall
Confided in me was your heart
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me"
Nothing will last in this life
Our time is spent constructing
Now you're perfecting a world, meant to sin
Constrict your hands around me
Squeeze till I cannot breathe
This air tastes dead inside me
Contribute to our own plague
Break all your promises
Tear down this steadfast wall
Restraints are useless here
Tasting salvation's near
Nothing hurts my world
Just affects the ones around me
When sin's deep in my blood
You'll be the one to fall
"I wish I could be the one
The one who won't care at all
But being the one on the stand
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me
When time soaked with blood turns its back
I know it's hard to fall
Confided in me was your heart
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me"
"Try not to lose you"
Two vibrant hearts could change
Nothing tears the being more than deception, unmasked fear

Chapter Four
[M. Shadows:]
Give me your hand,
Blood is spilt and man will follow
Infernal man, punishment too great to bear
[The Rev:]
Conceived and born was one of light
Rain and dark, the other born black knight
Raise your head and taste the courage (the one of light)
Fall from grace, unholy knight
I've come here to kill you,
Won't leave until you've died
Murder born of vengeance,
I closed my brother's eyes tonight...
[M. Shadows:]
Give me your hand,
Blood is spilt and man will follow
Infernal man, punishment too great to bear

Raise your head and taste the courage (the one of light)
Fall from grace, unholy knight
I've come here to kill you,
Won't leave until you've died
Murder born of vengeance,
I closed my brother's eyes tonight...
[The Rev:]
It's cold tonight as the clouds turn grey
And from my hands to my brother's grave
You took his side, you took his gift,
Feel the power of a fallen man, crestfallen man...
[Matt Shadows:]
Far away in this land I must go,
Out of the sight of the One.
A punishment sent from his hand
A hardship that no one should know
Now go out of the sight of the One,
Away in this land you must go.
[The Rev:]
Where has he gone? What have you done?
A voice commands from high above this earth.
From the soil his blood cries out to me
Murder, liar, vengeance, deceit.

Remenissions
With this ink in my skin we've sealed our fate,
And the axe comes early
(Only naturally) So what does that matter?
There's a bed of skeletons waiting for me,
On the other side
They're waiting for my next move (next fatal breath)
Human lives to me seem so unreal, can't see through the fog
(Nothing past a grey wall) see past the stereotype
Belief, structure built up in you
I'll tear you down and the one who created you
If they didn't have One how would they act?
If we didn't have hope how would we behave?
Would they still feel remorse
If they slaughtered innocent beings?
Or is hope the only thing that keeps you sane?
A good friend once told me you are memory
Without them we equal nothing
All I can see is the place I wanna be
Suddenly my life was so free
Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground
Their echoes are reaching my ears
Night it's coming fast, the sun's going down
But keep away from me
Keep away from me
Keep away from me
Keep away from me (Keep away from me)
Keep away from me
We may have created the beginning, mentally
We may have created the beginning, physically
To the end of our human (existence)
I see through you
The fear that's in your eyes
A good friend once told me we are memory
Without them we equal nothing
All I can see is the place I wanna be
Timeless my life was so free
Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground
Their echoes are reaching my ears
Night's coming fast, the sun's going down, confused
I don't know the answers but neither do you
And the axe comes early
(Only naturally) So what does that matter?
There's a bed of skeletons waiting for me,
On the other side
They're waiting for my next move (next fatal breath)
Human lives to me seem so unreal, can't see through the fog
(Nothing past a grey wall) see past the stereotype
Belief, structure built up in you
I'll tear you down and the one who created you
If they didn't have One how would they act?
If we didn't have hope how would we behave?
Would they still feel remorse
If they slaughtered innocent beings?
Or is hope the only thing that keeps you sane?
A good friend once told me you are memory
Without them we equal nothing
All I can see is the place I wanna be
Suddenly my life was so free
Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground
Their echoes are reaching my ears
Night it's coming fast, the sun's going down
But keep away from me
Keep away from me
Keep away from me
Keep away from me (Keep away from me)
Keep away from me
We may have created the beginning, mentally
We may have created the beginning, physically
To the end of our human (existence)
I see through you
The fear that's in your eyes
A good friend once told me we are memory
Without them we equal nothing
All I can see is the place I wanna be
Timeless my life was so free
Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground
Their echoes are reaching my ears
Night's coming fast, the sun's going down, confused

Desecrate Through Reverence
Hard news, taken harder, don't look to me
Disappointed, we don't agree, I don't need your praise
(Don't look my way for help, from the beginning you came to me)
Never asked you to like me
I don't need your praise (we won't play your games)
Look down on me, spit in my face
You're nothing to me, not to me
Darkened eyes you'll see
There is no hope, no savior in me
(Don't look this way, don't breathe this way, don't stare this way, anymore)
Learned from years gone by, no one will care
What happens to me
(Don't look this way, don't breathe this way, don't stare this way, anymore
My presence won't be ignored, no not today
Don't walk in my direction, turn the other way
(Don't look my way for help, from the beginning you came to me)
Asking questions, predetermined answers
You won't find them here (we don't want your opinion)
And I don't want you, I won't let you think
Compromise is near 'cause it's not near
Darkened eyes you'll see
There is no hope, no savior in me
(Don't look this way, don't breathe this way, don't stare this way, anymore
Learned from years gone by, no one will care
What happens to me
(Don't look this way, don't breathe this way, don't stare this way, anymore
I'm alone in here
No more feelings
Killed my fears
Don't ask you'll never know
You're left behind and I'll be exposed
Far away, you keep on trying
Holding me down, breaking away
Trying to distance my life
Not one in the crowd, but one with the answer
The one that can change your mind
But it's not true, I don't need you
Don't waste your time and don't waste mine
I'm not your friend, won't soothe your soul
And in the end you're all dead to me
Disappointed, we don't agree, I don't need your praise
(Don't look my way for help, from the beginning you came to me)
Never asked you to like me
I don't need your praise (we won't play your games)
Look down on me, spit in my face
You're nothing to me, not to me
Darkened eyes you'll see
There is no hope, no savior in me
(Don't look this way, don't breathe this way, don't stare this way, anymore)
Learned from years gone by, no one will care
What happens to me

My presence won't be ignored, no not today
Don't walk in my direction, turn the other way

Eternal Rest
Black enchanting eyes,
cut through my heart
with no regret or sign of life
They tear apart my pride
and cold runs through my veins
I feel their stare from miles
haunting every step
and they won't stop hunting me down
Forget the time will come,
when all around me's burned
and you'll still see me there
Asking where you went too
and what person brought you here
And why you left the burning children
cold out in the night
and calling for you all alone...
Dark in their hearts,
I can feel it burn inside of me
Tormented young with no souls, haunting me
Pain in their lives all they know is misery
Take these chains away that are holding me down
(Holding me down)
They'll find you alone
and your desperate and villainous ways
Turning their hearts into stone
they seek more than vengeance
Look in their eyes your pain is their satisfaction
Look in their eyes and see the darkness take hold
Lives controlled by faith (waiting for)
Tired of your parade (waiting for)
No sign of fair chance (waiting for)
Burn for the rest of time (waiting)
Hear the haunting words (They'll find you alone)
lost children with no heart are crying (Turning their hearts into stone)
and you're the lost mother they're calling
Go now, run and hide (seek more than vengeance)
I hear them crying at night (your pain is their satisfaction)
outside when the planets are falling (for the rest of time)
They want to feel and know you hear them (Go now, run and hide)
Dark in their hearts,
I can feel it burn inside of me
Tormented young with no souls, haunting me
Pain in their lives all they know is misery
Take these chains away that are holding me down
(holding me down)
Go now
Run and hide
Eternal rest in time
Eternal rest in time
cut through my heart
with no regret or sign of life
They tear apart my pride
and cold runs through my veins
I feel their stare from miles
haunting every step
and they won't stop hunting me down
Forget the time will come,
when all around me's burned
and you'll still see me there
Asking where you went too
and what person brought you here
And why you left the burning children
cold out in the night
and calling for you all alone...
Dark in their hearts,
I can feel it burn inside of me
Tormented young with no souls, haunting me
Pain in their lives all they know is misery
Take these chains away that are holding me down
(Holding me down)
They'll find you alone
and your desperate and villainous ways
Turning their hearts into stone
they seek more than vengeance
Look in their eyes your pain is their satisfaction
Look in their eyes and see the darkness take hold
Lives controlled by faith (waiting for)
Tired of your parade (waiting for)
No sign of fair chance (waiting for)
Burn for the rest of time (waiting)
Hear the haunting words (They'll find you alone)
lost children with no heart are crying (Turning their hearts into stone)
and you're the lost mother they're calling

Second Heartbeat
Gone...
We keep writing, talking and planning, but everything's changing.
We all know what to do but know one does it.
Now this time has passed and full of regret.
Two in my heart have left me a while, I stand alone.
When they get back, it won't be the same.
My life, you've always been there.
Now you're gone and my heads spinning.
Left the childhood, left the memories, left the good times in the past.
Moving on your time has run out.
Wishing the clock would stand still, the world can wait.
Wasting away once again, once lived as friends.
As time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life.
The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night.
Never will I forget you, and all the memories past.
So rarely I get to see your face.
Growing I looked to you in guidance.
We knew that time would kill us, but you're still so close to me.
To me you were my life.
To me you were my soul companion.
Now you are so far away.
Nothing can take away the time and the memories we had.
Come back - to the days when we were young
Come back - to the days when nothing mattered.
We keep writing, talking and planning, but everything's changing.
We all know what to do but know one does it.
Now this time has passed and full of regret.
Two in my heart have left me a while, I stand alone.
When they get back, it won't be the same.
My life, you've always been there.
Now you're gone and my heads spinning.
Left the childhood, left the memories, left the good times in the past.
Moving on your time has run out.
Wishing the clock would stand still, the world can wait.
Wasting away once again, once lived as friends.
As time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life.
The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night.
Never will I forget you, and all the memories past.
So rarely I get to see your face.
Growing I looked to you in guidance.
We knew that time would kill us, but you're still so close to me.
To me you were my life.
To me you were my soul companion.
Now you are so far away.

Come back - to the days when nothing mattered.

Radiant Eclipse
Two nights ago I was shot
A bullet sunk straight through my skull
A friend pulled the trigger that silenced me
No pain as I awoke, but dead
Seeing the face of the man
The time as he lays down his gun
I knew this was going to take place
White silence, so peaceful, so numb
No one knows the time they're changing
No one will see through:
You're all gone to me, (gone to me)
I've been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep
Intuition and a warning to believe (I will believe)
Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay
Moving on seemed to be somber bliss
Without one goodbye
I watch my Mother shed tears
(and taste the blood she cries
and taste the blood she cries)
No:This gun has stopped time in its tracks
Has altered the course of my fate
Destiny is shattered and timeless
Closed eyes feel the cold winds embrace
I'll watch you call, calling for me,
you can't bring back time...
Close your eyes or look away,
fate exposed and won't let me stay
Hope will fall tonight with broken wings,
descending entity in me
My voice has been taken from me.
The more I listen, the more I have to say
A bullet sunk straight through my skull
A friend pulled the trigger that silenced me
No pain as I awoke, but dead
Seeing the face of the man
The time as he lays down his gun
I knew this was going to take place
White silence, so peaceful, so numb
No one knows the time they're changing
No one will see through:
You're all gone to me, (gone to me)
I've been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep
Intuition and a warning to believe (I will believe)
Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay
Moving on seemed to be somber bliss
Without one goodbye
I watch my Mother shed tears
(and taste the blood she cries
and taste the blood she cries)
No:This gun has stopped time in its tracks
Has altered the course of my fate
Destiny is shattered and timeless
Closed eyes feel the cold winds embrace
I'll watch you call, calling for me,
you can't bring back time...
Close your eyes or look away,
fate exposed and won't let me stay
Hope will fall tonight with broken wings,
descending entity in me

I Wont See You Tonight Part 1
Cry alone, I've gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I've gone alone, took all my strength
I've made the change,
I won't see you tonight
Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for and loved
It's building up inside of me
A place so dark, so cold, I had to set me free
Don't mourn for me,
You're not the one to place the blame
As bottles call my name I won't see you tonight
Sorrow sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for and most of all I loved
But I can't see myself that way
Please don't forget me or cry while I'm away
Cry alone, I've gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I've gone alone, took all my strength
But I've made the change,
I won't see you tonight
So far away, I'm gone
Please don't follow me tonight
And while I'm gone everything will be alright
No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight
No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight
(Oh oh oh oh oh eh eh oh oh)
No more nights, no more pain
I've gone alone, took all my strength
I've made the change,
I won't see you tonight
Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for and loved
It's building up inside of me
A place so dark, so cold, I had to set me free
Don't mourn for me,
You're not the one to place the blame
As bottles call my name I won't see you tonight
Sorrow sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for and most of all I loved
But I can't see myself that way
Please don't forget me or cry while I'm away
Cry alone, I've gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I've gone alone, took all my strength
But I've made the change,
I won't see you tonight
So far away, I'm gone
Please don't follow me tonight
And while I'm gone everything will be alright
No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight
No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight

I Wont See You Tonight Part 2
Come back to me, this is inconceivable
Breaking apart the ones you love
Hate runs deep for what you've done to us
Left alone through suicide suicide
I just want to die, take away my life
Lay by your side, please
Come back to me, this is inconceivable
Breaking apart the ones you love
Hate runs deep for what you've done to us
Left alone through suicide
Look at my face you pierce with a blank stare
No dream could prepare a heart for a lifeless friend
He's gone nothing will take back time
I need him back, but nothing will take back time
I can see just fine with you in my life,
There by my side as it starts to fade
I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream
A nightmare full of sorrow
Nightmare, full of pain
Nightmare, full of pain
I look back and see the twisted road
Best friends and despair took its toll
Take away
Take away
Take away
Take away
Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me, I cared for
And most of all I loved
But I can't see myself that way
Please don't forget me
Or cry while I'm away
Look at my face you pierce with a blank stare
No dream could prepare a heart for a lifeless friend
He's gone nothing will take back time
I need him back, but nothing will take back time
I can see just fine with you in my life,
There by my side as it starts to fade
I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream
A nightmare full of sorrow
I can see just fine with you in my life,
There by my side as it starts to fade
I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream
A nightmare full of sorrow
Breaking apart the ones you love
Hate runs deep for what you've done to us
Left alone through suicide suicide
I just want to die, take away my life
Lay by your side, please
Come back to me, this is inconceivable
Breaking apart the ones you love
Hate runs deep for what you've done to us
Left alone through suicide
Look at my face you pierce with a blank stare
No dream could prepare a heart for a lifeless friend
He's gone nothing will take back time
I need him back, but nothing will take back time
I can see just fine with you in my life,

Take away

And most of all I loved
But I can't see myself that way

Or cry while I'm away

Clairvoyant Disease
Dust begins to fall to the ground
(and you sit there and do nothing)
The air is cold and thin
(you're content with doing nothing)
Thoughts are haunting me as I look around
(but in my life, I wanted more)
This will never end, when I'll bleed forever
(this will never end)
Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong;
This spot in hell's where I belong
I've come so far - it's been so long
Don't know why it started or where it came from
Outside shell is strong - confident,
(there is nowhere to run and hide)
But slowly eats away;
(stuck alone inside your head)
Like a man plagued with disease, I try to fight
(guess you're better off dead)
Through my pores it seems to seep
(your mind bleeding)
When I'll bleed forever
Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong
This spot in hell's where I belong
I've come so far - it's been so long
Don't know why it started or where it came from
And you sit there and do nothing;
You're content with doing nothing
There's nowhere to run and hide
When you're living to die
Stuck alone inside your head,
Better off dead
The phone would ring in the empty house,
No one's around
Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong
This spot in hell's where I belong
I've come so far - it's been so long
Don't know why it started or where it came from
But in my life, I wanted more;
I needed more, I taste more
(and you sit there and do nothing)
The air is cold and thin
(you're content with doing nothing)
Thoughts are haunting me as I look around
(but in my life, I wanted more)
This will never end, when I'll bleed forever
(this will never end)
Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong;
This spot in hell's where I belong
I've come so far - it's been so long
Don't know why it started or where it came from
Outside shell is strong - confident,
(there is nowhere to run and hide)
But slowly eats away;
(stuck alone inside your head)
Like a man plagued with disease, I try to fight
(guess you're better off dead)
Through my pores it seems to seep
(your mind bleeding)
When I'll bleed forever
Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong
This spot in hell's where I belong
I've come so far - it's been so long
Don't know why it started or where it came from
And you sit there and do nothing;
You're content with doing nothing
There's nowhere to run and hide
When you're living to die
Stuck alone inside your head,
Better off dead
The phone would ring in the empty house,
No one's around
Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong
This spot in hell's where I belong
I've come so far - it's been so long
Don't know why it started or where it came from
But in my life, I wanted more;
I needed more, I taste more

And All Things Will End
Lived through you,
safe with how we lived our lives,
with how it all turned out.
(But things are bound to change)
Uncovered lies, surfaced throughout,
will make you change your mind
Sometimes life is altered
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right
When I see you, I can read it in your eyes,
fate misunderstood.
(But things are bound to change)
Swallowed the lies, can't blame you for,
thinking with your heart.
Sometimes life is altered.
Break from the ropes your hands are tied.
Uneasy with confrontation.
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right
I see my world crumble and fall, before my eyes
I know, I know.
Dark will turn to light, in time I'll be alright
I know, I know
(I never imagined my life could turn out this way
So cold so black so alone)
Living goes by fast, catch your breath
and it will pass you by.
And it won't last, to sulk with the memories you hold.
Sometimes life is altered.
Break from the ropes your hands are tied.
Uneasy with confrontation.
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right
safe with how we lived our lives,
with how it all turned out.
(But things are bound to change)
Uncovered lies, surfaced throughout,
will make you change your mind
Sometimes life is altered
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right
When I see you, I can read it in your eyes,
fate misunderstood.
(But things are bound to change)
Swallowed the lies, can't blame you for,
thinking with your heart.
Sometimes life is altered.
Break from the ropes your hands are tied.
Uneasy with confrontation.
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right
I see my world crumble and fall, before my eyes
I know, I know.
Dark will turn to light, in time I'll be alright
I know, I know
(I never imagined my life could turn out this way
So cold so black so alone)
Living goes by fast, catch your breath
and it will pass you by.
And it won't last, to sulk with the memories you hold.
Sometimes life is altered.
Break from the ropes your hands are tied.
Uneasy with confrontation.
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right
