The Incident
04:05
|

I walk through the doorway, Rushing to my home
The darkness surrounds, Completely alone
What has become, Which wrenching mistake
My breath turns to ice, With every gasp I take
My passions turned to stone, My light was put out long ago
There goes the flash, I hear the crash
The breaking of my soul
I cannot be forgotten, Like a lesser man would
Or am I the lesser man, Cause great ones would have stood
What has happened to us,How can we raise this soul
When we are two shattered pieces,Scattered on the floor
Oh the legend of me
Severed from the dreams
Of the man I could have been
Can you hear the crashing of the
Can you see the light burning through
I walk to the window frame I
Pull the blinds, to my demise
I run to the doorway, Rushing to my street
People surround, Our drawn eyes meet
The flames burn high, The blood runs cold
And onto the pavement, Tearing holes in my soul
The man crawls away, The man that took my life today
I see him stand, My heart demands
A debt to be payed
And I just stare, there's no real cost
A person can't make up for the two I just lost
Now everything's changed
What I yearned for seems so strange
Just a few minutes ago
I was a dog in a cage
Oh the legend of me
Severed by the
Life that could have been
And I see, the man scream)
It's not my fault that they died
He shoves me, mumbling
That bitched swerved I front of me
I don't care what you you say
Or how you say it
I'm leaving now I'm not coming back
This isn't over

The Kingdom
04:59
|
|||
Justice out of grasp
The struggle remaining
Unbroken by time the dominance straining
They come from the water
They crawl from the sea
Greeds ugly face
Descends on the free
He watches dawn break over mountains
He watches waves cross over the sea
Looking down on the streets below him
He watches the waves break at his feet
I know it's been a long time since I live with them
It's been a while since I've tasted defeat
Sometimes it's hard to remember where I came from
You think I might have some sympathy
These ropes bind
My hands and mind
My desire is much too strong
You know I'm laughing now
That I have a song to sing
You know you can't lash out
I am your lord
I am your king
Is there a man in the world that can resist corruption?
Man begs for wealth not for equality
You have watched the towers being built around you
The walls of silent security
These ropes bind
My hands and mind
My desire is much too strong
You know I'm laughing now
That I have a song to sing
You know you can't lash out
I am your lord
I am your king
A letter came today
A summons to the stand
Blood stained and soaked in pain
It's not what I had planned
I cannot get away
The times draining like sand
They were not my concern
Why would I give a damn
I don't care about their life
I don't care about their suffering
I just care about my stride
I just care about my company
My rien will carry on longer than the sun
These ropes that cling to me will not become undone
And I wonder
If I win this
Will their spoils be payed
I will carry
My throne onwards
Till I enter the grave
And I wonder
If I win this
Will their spoils be payed
I will carry
My throne on wards
Till I enter the grave

Eden Lost
04:05
|

Door slams, bloody splinters
Eyes stare, cold as winter
Stuttering, just a whisper
He can't fight, endless temper
Dead child burned mother
Husband screaming murder
Shouts of totalled car
This time he'll go too far
He walks through the doorway of hell
Coming through fists high
He has his hands all over me
I fall over and cry
Can't handle this anymore
He can't change he won't try
I won't take this any longer
I fall to my knees and cry
He says that he sorry
He was just mad at the situation
Tells me that he can't go
Through the trial without me
Says that he destroyed a family
And that he needs my intuition
Says that he loves me so
But he will go on without me
I walk out through the doorway of hell
Going through bags packed
He tries to get in my way
Cause he knows I'm not coming back
Can't handle this anymore
He can't change he won't try
I won't take this any longer
I turn around and spit goodbye
Now she's gone what have I done
But I knew the consequence
Two lives lost and at what cost
Oh why god! this makes no sense
Rage boils over heart gets colder
Hands clenching thoughts wrenching
The life out of me
Outcast soldier like embers to smoulder
Before me I can see
The life that I need
Drowning receding
Deeper inside my head
Destruction transgression
Inside my soul I'm still
Dead
I walk through the doorway of hell
Built by my own hand
I guess I'm better off alone
For I'm a broken man
Can't handle this anymore
I Can't change I won't try
I see the light in front of me
I fall to my knees and cry

Pay the Witness
05:05

I am the man of a million faces
In this race we can time
Can't be trusted touched with lust and misery
Greedy arrogant and disgusting un-worth touching oh no
But I don't care about anything
Why bother with the world, what is love to a snake?
I am the filth the scum the bottle of rum with a bitter taste
I could be scary, gentle, sweet, resentful all of the mix
As long is gets me to my next fix
Women and pills are my passion
Living between this separation
I twist words like the devil twists minds
I find the truth is buried in lies
Yesterday I the king of misfits took a visit for my crown
Lonely in the city suburbs on the upper side of town
Headlights flashing cars were passing through the night
Suddenly the car swerved into the light
Metal on metal.
Crashing through the light
Fire on fire
Burning through the night
I heard a child scream
A woman's tears a memory
I watched a burning dream
Like broken wicks and kerosene
My mind spun with a thousand voices
Save their lives or burn their choices
(They were already gone)
Today a letter came like whispers in the night
Spoke of what I've seen what I must testify
Spoke of riches beyond my wildest dreams
And that they could belong to me

Trial I
02:47
|
|||
These months brought nothing but pain
The thoughts refused to refrain
From letting the blood get washed away in the rain
Now it begins to end just the same
With nothing but pain
It's been so long since the light spread across this endless night
And my heart and head cannot agree that what I'm doing is right
But that's all I have in sight
Not a single drop of light
A crypt built upon liars
A fortress forged in the fire
To lay the guilty down to rest
A jury made of demons
All sent here for one reason
To see which liar is the best

Trial II
01:47
|

Faulty machines that are built out of lies
Sold to a bidder at the highest price
Now their bodies are cold as ice
You know in this business you can't play nice
In this their only hope
They cannot justify
Each day this masquerade
Gets only fortified
I try to set the ground
To level playing field
I know their army well
I know they will not back down
Broken like pieces of metal
Their debates unjustified
Their goals sent to the devil
So he could go get high
Both sides have their reasons
To keep their mouths shut
Both sides have a reason
To let out the flood
The same thing everyday
A court of frauds and clowns
They crumble just like stone
I bring the hammer down
This Is Useless knowledge
This Is Broken justice
This Is fucking nonsense
This Is the end

Trial III
04:12
|

I hear my name
Ringing through the hall
Oh how I've waited for this call
I'll bring this lame
Horse to the butcher
He shouldn't have shook this
Ship
Now it's gonna tip
Like every thing I've ever done
I'll close the blinds block out the sun
It's easier when your nocturnal
To feast on these petty sheep
What am I waiting for
She asked the question
Tell them what he told you to say
I see the look in these sheeps eye
He knows he will die
And he knows what I'll say is a lie
Suddenly
A thought comes on to me
I see every face that I've stricken with pain
Burst of uncertainty
What has come over me?
I know exactly what I want.
Or do I?
The metal snapped that night
(I heard a child scream)
The car then swerved into the light
(A woman's tears a memory)
I seen it all and was paid to lie
I have disgraced myself
(This life's not what I need)
I put them all through hell
(Their pain has set me free)
And I'm done draining up this well
I'll point the finger

Off the Throne
03:51
|
|||
I bring another one home
Another one dead and another one stoned
I see another one fall
Another falls down and the others stands tall
Sitting in this mess I made
Rotting in this bold decay
I brace for another decline
My minds made up but my thoughts unwind
I get another one cut
I still sit straight but I can't stand up
How can I take this anymore
My life's been beaten to the core
Off the throne, lost my crown
Kingdoms burning to the ground
Take my rage to the sea
And drink to the creatures that have shaken me
I wait till I break down
No one here hold me now
I sing with broken words
Most of which are never heard
Everything that was mine
I lost in this decline
My sorrow paid in gold
I see why they stood so bold
Off the throne, lost my crown
Kingdoms burning to the ground
Take my cup to the sea
And drink to the people who set me free
Do you hear that sound?
The sound that says defeat
That's making the ending
Of what I'm defending complete
Do you hear that noise?
The noise calling out to you
To put down the gun
Leaving all I have done
To start anew
I do
Now I begin to see a way that I cannot explain
I begin to see the point of it all
Maybe justice struck me down
To take his rightful crown
Maybe it was my time to fall
Bring forth the knife and cut me free
Let me sink into the sand
Let me wait to be cleansed by the raging sea
Let me come out a new man

Eden Found
03:46
|

Do you feel the hate crawling from within
These hallowed memories branded into my skin
I recall a time when the world had my back
Now the world has left my psyche withered and black
How could she leave me?
Now begin to recede
What the fuck have I become
Broken bodies and cold numb
Bloody knuckle bottles dry
Watch her leaving turn and cry
Now I feel the cold as I lay in the street
Lying in a pool of my blood and my teeth
Everybody watched as they kicked in my head
I'd be better off if they left me for dead
I will scream
I will cry
I will kiss this life goodbye
I will change
Don't know how
But I've got to do it now
I am haunted
By the sins
Of the person I have been
If I don't
I will die
Never get my chance to fly
Go now
I will change myself
I can see the light as I run to the street
Falling to my knees I will not know defeat
I am not a man who is driven by sin
With the changes I've made I'm sure to win
Change the man that I've become
Drop the bottles hide the guns
Forget this ancient heresy
There is someone I have to see

Bridges
05:46
|
|||
Steady footsteps fall
Silence takes its toll
How to make amends
Who will be there in the end
They tell me to move on
They say that I have won
Their words they make no sense
But I guess in their defence
I would not try
Is this goodbye
Take me home
My clothes are tattered and worn
On this road where no one goes
I'm chasing my loves shadows
A time long ago, in a place far away
There was life in this dust, there was hope
Time heals all wounds. That's what they tell me
Does that mean that time has stopped
Oh it was a year ago
Will this be my end lost on the road?
It's hard to succumb to the thing I've become
When the dirt under my feet is
plated with gold
This time it's my road un quenched and unpaved
If I find a way out its my life I've saved
Take me home
My clothes are tattered and worn
On this road where no one goes
I'm Chasing my own shadow
A knock at the door
Just leave me alone
Get up off the floor
There's nobody home
It might by a friend
It might be a foe
It might someone
Who knows how to let go
I remember your face
Seems so clear
A memory I can't replace
You took them away
What do you have to tell me?
I've heard so much
You've done enough can't you see?
It's why I can't stay
Then he looked me in the eye
He said goodbye
And he said to me
His world fell apart
He said his whole life was wasted
With distasteful hate and ignorance
He said don't waste your life
I've walked through that doorway I've crawled from the sea
I've fought outcast soldiers In a burning dream
My life meant something to someone
And now it's all gone
I believed in my heart that Id never become
This lesser man a man so numb
That he can't see that this almost ended
Just how it begun
It's time to let them go
Not long ago my life meant so much to me
For for too long I wallowed in my agony
No! I will stand! I will make sure they're remembered
Just how I wanted myself to be
It's time to let them go
