Bitter Fear
03:34
|
|||
(Spoken Word)
Giving up seems to fade
With echoes of the past
When all is lost, I count the cost
Of continuing this task
Feeding the anguish
Of memories long faded
No one seems to care
I am a song
Mixed, mastered, and the forgotten
once the time is shared.
Alone I sit within the room
Feeling anguish deep within
and I wonder as I wander
Within my mind of sin
To tie the rope and free myself
To see destruction all around
To answer cries of fallen hope
To find what can't be found
(Chorus) - Alone in the darkness
Feel the winds, the storm is drawing near
The darkness deems to embrace
I'm lost in bitter fear
Feeding thoughts of days long past
Clinging to these dreams
Fasting from the bitter tears
Silencing the screams
There is no hope if I survive
And less if I rebel
This paradise I have lost
Becomes my only hell
(Chorus)
Whispered madness in the night
The voices never cease
To feel the coldness drawing in
The screaming will increase
The forlorn hope of living now
Has faded from my mind
I feel I can do nothing right
I've lost the test of time
(Chorus)
Giving up seems to fade
The echoes of the past
When all is lost I count the cost
Of continuing this task
Feeding the anguish
Of memories long
faded No one seems to care
I am a song, mixed, mastered and then forgotten
Once the time is shared
(Chorus)

Into the Asylum
02:34
|

Feel the winds come pouring in
The winter knows no pain
Into the Asylum
As we laugh upon the stain
The blood slowly flowing
The anguish bleeds away
The feelings of distrust
Agony gone astray
(Chorus) - Into the Asylum
We feel the bitter pain
Out trust we have broken
As they label us insane
The darkness we embrace
Shedding tears of our denial
Betrayal we have spoken
As we embrace the unborn child
The sunlight fades the pain
The bodies come pouring in
The summer of distortion
As we embrace our sin
Laugh tears of pouring rain
Complacent in our dreams
Feel the clock unwinding
As we surrender to our screams
(Chorus)
(Spoken word) - They label us as crazy
Because we question who we are
But we will never know the truth
And we will never give in, to what they tell us
Feel the winds come pouring in
The winter knows no pain
Into the Asylum
As we laugh upon the stain
The blood slowly flowing
The anguish bleeds away
The feelings of distrust
Agony gone astray
(Spoken word outro) - The darkness we embrace
Shedding tears of our denial
Betrayal we have spoken
As we embrace the unborn child

Darkness
06:21
|

As I hear, the shadows whisper
Loneliness turns to pain
The roses linger, behind the door
I feel I've gone unsane
The flames they reckon, beyond recourse
The brain cells shattered, beyond repair
And I wonder, if I don't awaken
How many of you, would even care?
(Chorus) - Rescue me from lonely darkness
This pain becomes my shell
I can hide behind this anger
Or I can awaken in desperate hell
See the sun, shining through the window
Feel the burning of thoughts long past
Fear the echoes of past mistakes
See the torment, the players cast
All actors, tell me what I need
What I need to be alive this day
Tell me what I want to make me believe
But I'll never believe a word you say
(Chorus)
Locked away, within myself
No knives I feel in my back
The world's a stage and I'm the villian
No saving grace in the needlestack
All alone, within myself
No blood to rescue, from what I've done
No tears to drown me, no need to swallow
Your shallow words, I now shun
(Chorus)
The choir singing, the soul on trial
The darkness lingers, the pain subsides
As I linger within my dreams,
I fear the anguish resides inside

Enchained
04:32

(Spoken word intro) -
Madness is reality, when the mind has changed,
The line between sane and unsane has shifted,
Reality is nothing more than a majority opinion,
and "sane" is choosing to follow the majority.
Insane is nothing more than accepting reality as it is
As opposed to what they tell you it is
Through the window pain
The grass keeps growing blades
Reflections of the past
As time now slowly fades
The willows never dying
The flesh of human dries
The widow's slow defeat
The memory slowly dies
(Chorus)
Within the mouth of madness
Where emotions still remain
The slaughter of the mind
Where we embrace the sane
Reality now changing
Reality in vein
The fantasy believed
We live our lives enchained
The witches slowly burning
In desperation cry
The window of the soul
unlocks until we die
The blood flowing freely
The blood upon the tree
Tales us to the ending
On display for all to see
(Chorus)
Alone in the wild
Alone in bitter light
We test the waters freely
To find our unknown might
Entranced we fall upon the blades
We fall into our demise
Time just slowly passes
And we fall into it's lies
(Chorus)

Tyranny of Love
04:34
|
|||
(Intro) Memories of days long past
Come pouring down, streaming, screaming
History repeats
In circles of pain
The cold winter freezes, bleeding tears
The bleeding tears
of dreams in veins
Fall asleep in anguish
The tears come falling down
Bathing our lives in mischief
Depression all around
Hearing the deaf man crying
Sympathy destroys
Emotions are the puppets
The hearts become the toys
(Chorus)
Feel the soft wind blowing,
Across the sulking face,
The tyranny of love
Resides within your face
With shallow minds and tattered blinds
The windows of the soul
Are shattered glass against the mask
Which covers hearts so cold
In agony this ecstasy,
becomes a lethal score
The darkness seems to conquer
Emotions seem to soar
Like winter feel the pressure
As the heat returns the same
The source of our desire
The temple lies in flame
(Chorus)
Within the tattered heart
The remnants of the past
Reliving painful memories
But free to live at last
Never waken in the morning
Waken to the pain
This lamentation and temptation
Drives the beast insane
(Chorus)
(Orchestra/Spoken word)
Fall asleep in anguish
the tears
Come falling down
Bathing our lives in mischief
Depression all around
Hear the deaf man crying
Sympathy destroys
Emotions are the puppets
The hearts become the toys
(Chorus)
