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

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
6.
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
7.
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

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
