Cold grim commanding hands caress me down my spine Held captive by their lust for me I have fallen to their prey Fierce eyes terrorize me invoking pain inside Pursued by their haunting cries With nowhere to run or hide I see the demons They are hunting me They hold the reins of fear They do not sleep With outstretched arms they cry out for me Enslaved by voices, I cease to be Fear wounds my soul, engraves my heart Embedded in relentless games Forever in their grasp Chained, much to their delight In stillness I subside As I bleed into nothingness I'm parted from my dreams I see the demons They are hunting me They hold the reins of fear They do not sleep With outstretched arms they cry out for me Enslaved by voices, I cease to be Cursed to live in the Realms of hopelessness Falling deeper in By the hand of them Now that I languish into nothingness I fall into their cold embrace The fire for me has left me bare Denies me hope to dream What will become of me Now I linger here eternally I fade, I fall I cease to be For they do not sleep Drained of my sanity, my conscience twists and turns Unyielding dark takes home in me I let the black unfurl I am the creator of the demons that reside The labyrinths I have brought to life Have left me dead inside I see the demons They are hunting me They hold the reins of fear They do not sleep With outstretched arms they cry out for me Enslaved by voices, I cease to be

I will not play with fire I cannot yield to my own lunacy I will not bring to life the turmoil buried deep inside I will not play with fire I cannot yield to my own lunacy I will not bring to life the turmoil buried deep inside Beneath the shadows I stand strong I will go on My time is now I am reborn I do not feel desire My blood runs cold Oblivion takes me in Distorted visions become my world, my nightmare Anguish exhausts me Leaves me restless and bemused with myself Who am I Is this reality I invade such fateful waters They destroy me; destroy the very heart of me Obsessed with wanting more Desire wildly takes me by the hand I want to have it all Alive, within me I am at war with myself I destroy me; destroy me right to the heart I will not play with fire I cannot yield to my own lunacy I will not bring to life the turmoil buried deep inside Beneath the shadows I stand strong I will go on My time is now I am reborn Lost in my own disharmony I am torn; I am bleeding into an obscure fate Don't lose yourself, don't cry Rest your head and dream, dreamer You are chasing beyond your reach Beyond the hands of time Desperately you seek to have it all The fire in you has consumed your mind Restless, bewildered, longing to find a way The torture you force on yourself now must stop It has to end Oh no it has to end Beneath the shadows I stand strong I will go on My time is now I am reborn

Lay me to rest Let despair now desert me Lay me to rest From this life that enslaves me Come deliver me And grace me with open arms And shroud me Reaching for the fall I hear your voice it calls It tangles in me Cease the pain the ghostly cries Our ill-fated demise I reach to the end Let me descend Free my torment Put out the light on misery Our broken destiny I’ll follow you Without you I am dead Lay me to rest Sorrow grows all around me Lay me to rest Now the fates have betrayed me I begged for you to breathe again To breathe again To hold me near And dead I stand without you here Without you near My world is lost Cease the pain the ghostly cries Our ill-fated demise I reach to the end Let me descend Free my torment Put out the light on misery Our broken destiny I’ll follow you Without you I am dead Stories old Age’s cold I held you so precious, the light in my dark muted world Breathe with me I begged please let us be I pleaded to save you My love my soul dies now you’re gone Lay me to rest Bleed me dry of my torment Lay me to rest End the grief of my forlorn heart

Silenced and left for dead I possess in you a fate beyond compare Did you think I'd forget the pain? I'll bury your hope to redeem my soul again Now the light fades out from the sky In this spell I feel my darkened senses rise In the night, my insanity I give you all that you gave to me Confined here and left for dead You possess in me a world I cannot bear Did you think I would set you free Holding me here in pursuit of your revenge? Now the skies take their turn on me Caged here in the tempest of your mind I'll sail the blackest sea Alone with grave thoughts as my company May the light reveal itself May it fall unto me I have lost all hope to chase the sun My given time has now begun Head my prayers Head my regret for my sins In vengeful winds my path is changing Haunted by the tempest that you bring I give to you all that you gave to me I give to you all that I feel in me In this insanity I hold your fate There is no tomorrow Your time won't wait I'll keep you here forevermore I'll watch you perish into my world trembling fate lies in your hands Please tell me now do I truly deserve this hell? In your world so vengefulness You've stripped away my dreams And so I walk under raging skies Silently praying Cursed with the pain I gave to you Exiled to this hell

And so you creep in, alluring and cold Dominating my mind you entangle my world Violent within me you thrust at my heart An army you grow inside of me Consumed with revulsion for what you create Surrounded by whispers my thoughts you invade You linger you stir You writhe within Twisting around and around Corrupting my thoughts you lay hell at my door In your arms forever, in your arms i fall Once lust, now poison ascending inside Grievously you take me You linger you stir You writhe within Twisting around and around Here lies a fate, lies a truth It will never fade away It grows inside of me Caressing me so viciously It rapes my soul Until i bleed it takes its hold Condemning me to never love, never dream It remains, it remains in me Violent you grow inside of me In your arms i’m paralysed desperate to breathe I am defiled, i fail to breathe Buried inside me so silent you scream Your presence devours me My future is doomed The depths of my being transcended by you Darkness takes me Tainted, will i ever see the light again Here lies a fate, lies a truth It will never fade away It grows inside of me Caressing me so viciously It rapes my soul Until i bleed it takes its hold Condemning me to never love, never dream It remains, it remains in me Violent you grow inside of me In your arms i’m paralysed desperate to breathe Grievously you take me Until i bleed you take you’re hold Take you’re hold on me Lusting, i let you crawl into me Inviting me with your mystery Now poison seeps right through me The depths of you Broken, you’ve damned me to a life of this All that you are festers in me You’ve slowly taken all of me All that i am Here lies a fate, lies a truth It will never fade away It grows inside of me Caressing me so viciously It rapes my soul Until i bleed it takes its hold Condemning me to never love, never dream It remains, it remains in me

I have prayed and cried so hard to find you You pulled me near and then tore me away But rest holds its promise for me now I know The tainted face of your shame shows you'll need me I must now put this hell behind me The love you gave has torn me apart I'll walk from the black into a new light To save myself from my demise I tormented myself just to keep you Then lunacy showed me true light of your love I drowned in obsession and glorified trust The colours of fate showed that I'd never leave you I must now put this hell behind me The love you gave has torn me apart I'll walk from the black into a new light To save myself from my demise Do you dare hold me down You take the life inside of me I fear you, I love you I cannot break the chains you keep Do you dare hold me down You strangle, kill the life inside of me This game you play has weathered Yet you still smother me in shame Do you dare hold me down You strangle, kill the life inside of me I fear you, I love you I cannot break the chains you keep I die, when you put your arms around me I cry, I cannot escape this nightmare Hold me tight I feel alone, I need you with me Let me go Please be the one, the one that saves me Now the page turns I'm walking from torment and scorn Spirit guide me, into the new light I must now put this hell behind me The love you gave has torn me apart And I will walk from the black into a new light To save myself from my demise
