Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats Our story is about to begin Salvation cries, but all I can see Is darkness following me And I might be crazy Just for looking at you I must be crazy If I think that it's true The things I've done to be with you They echo in my every move And I might be crazy Just for looking at you I must be crazy If I think that it's true Mezzo del cammin di nostra vita Mi ritrovai per una selva oscura Che la diritta via era smarrita Esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte Che nel pensier rinova la paura! La non so ben ridir com' i' v'intrai Tant'era pien di sonno a quel punto Che la verace via abbandonai (Can you hear them cry?) Guardai in alto e vidi le sue spalle ( Can you hear them cry? ) Vestite gia dei 'raggi del pianeta Che mena dritto altrui per ogne calle Cosi l'animo mio, ch'ancor fuggiva ( Can you hear, can you hear, can you hear them cry? ) Si volse a retro a rimirar lo passo Che non lasció giá mai persona viva (Can you hear, can you hear, can you hear them cry, cry?)

I don't trust myself I'm trapped, drowning in despair (I'm poisonous) I slammed the door and locked it shut And now disaster plagues my thoughts Let's drink to the dead (I'm poisonous) "Cheers to what's ahead" (Sweet temptress) I can see it in your eyes You're moving on without me (So it ends tonight) I guess this is goodbye (I guess this is goodbye) Selfishly, you say You're better off without me (And it ends tonight) Well, baby, save your breath (Won't you please) Before you push me away (Have mercy?) Let me try to change your mind (Oh, wanderer) If you think this is fun Well, just you wait until I'm done Blessed fortune screams, "Why have you forsaken me?"

I need to know you'll miss me when I'm gone (I'll cherish you until the day I die) A twisted way to make you mine I can see it in your eyes You're moving on without me (So it ends tonight) I guess this is goodbye (I guess this is goodbye) Selfishly, you say You're better off without me (And it ends tonight) Well, baby, save your breath (Won't you please) Before you push me away (Have mercy?) Let me try to change your mind (Oh, wanderer) If you think this is fun Well, just you wait until I'm done

I am willing to give Whatever it takes I am willing to give Whatever it takes I am willing to give Whatever it takes Quietly, I am screaming for help, I calm down and steady myself Collapse to the ground when I realize I can't breathe Could this be happening? (What's happening to me?) All the walls are closing in on me, and confusion makes it hard to see Still, my pounding heart is bleeding for you (I know the truth) And I start to sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat (Why the hell am I here?) I start to sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat (Have I succumbed to fear?) Why am I trying the undying? A ghost of such elegance Oh, why am I racing to be facing A vision of something so perfect? I am willing to give whatever it takes To find forgiveness for my mistakes So I'm going to take a chance And invite the unknown to a deadly dance I have laid eyes on you, and yet it does not seem as if the Earth moved (I know the truth) And I start to sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat (I will have you tonight) I start to sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat (You will be mine tonight) Why am I trying the undying?

My love, try to understand me when I say you torture me Your lips, they beg for me to get you alone (I want you to know) It's the sway of your hips You taste so sweet (Cruel temptress), I'm at your feet I can tell by the way you move That you want me to want you Are you happy now that I've figured out I was just the victim In a game of lies and lustful tension? Your lips, they beg for me to get you alone (I want you to know) It's the sway of your hips You taste so sweet (Cruel temptress), I'm at your feet I can tell by the way you move That you want me to want you Are you happy now that I've figured out I was just the victim In a game of lies and lustful tension? I can't believe I fell for you I was wrong, I am so confused A foolish mistake I gaze across the chasm that divides me from her, my prize And drink in her beauty I let the heady aroma of perfume riding on the hot win saturate me I train my ears to the creaking of the bridge spanning the gap to her I throw caution into that wind of passion and continue down the path The path to the unknown I'm losing control And I want all of you; I ache to swallow you I'm losing control Your body screams for me, it's destroying me I can not resist the temptress of the night I'm coming for you, I want to, I need you As the Earth quakes, I will deflower you Oh, how my head swims, oh, how my heart yearns I'm coming for you, our flesh will become one And we'll never speak of what we've become (It's what you want) I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone So it seems that we were nothing (Are you happy?) Are you happy now that I've figured out I was just the victim In a game of lies and lustful tension? I can't believe I fell for you I was wrong, I am so confused A foolish mistake

Washed on a shore of enchanted lies, and I am breathless Struggling for reason How could it be such a wondrous place is trapped in silence? Give them redemption Time is melting away, I can't explain But my eyes are begging to stay I must say, a sunny day Helps to push the memories away I can't imagine my leaving here It sounds so peaceful living in solace A perfect vision of ecstasy, a dreamy palace Home to the soulless Time is melting away, I can't explain But my eyes are begging to stay I must say, a sunny day Helps to push the memories away Walk along the shore of an ocean of rage Gazing in amazement at each screaming wave Everywhere I look, there's agony and pain What's the point of fighting when there's nothing to save? Time is melting away, I can't explain But my eyes are begging to stay I must say, a sunny day Helps push the memories away Caution must be obeyed On an island of the decayed

Vid' io piú di mille anime distrutte Fuggir cosi dinanzi ad un ch'al passa Passava Stige con le piante asciutte Dal volto rimovea quell' aere grasso Menando la sinistra innoazi spesso Ahi quanto mi parea pien di disdegno Venna a la porta e can una veghetta L'aperse, che non v'ebbe alcun ritegna A cacciati del ciel, gente dispetta Cominció elli in su l'arribil saglia Ond'esta altracotanza in voi s'alletta? Poi si rivolse per la strada lorda E non fé motto a noi, ma fe sembiante D'omo cui altra cura stringa e mordo

Blessed smoke bellows from the beast Bow to the gears and worship the machine Is it so? This can't be happening Why can't they see? Seas of children are bound, gagged, and led into the flames Blind are leading the blind into a disaster I'm the only one who seems to care If you decide to worship the chaos I will not wait and watch as you burn (I will not wait and watch) All must kneel before the altar; the veiled will be exalted We are the flock, they do not hear a word I say In the God's harbor, all shall rest, become part of the master We are divine, I can not save them all Blind are leading the blind into a disaster I'm the only one who seems to care If you decide to worship the chaos I will not wait and watch as you burn (I will not wait and watch as you burn) (Should we go?) I need you to trust me now (They all seem so content) Don't move, I'll figure this out (We should go) Forget what anyone said (And become part of him) Just take my hand, or we'll both be dead Blind are leading the blind into a disaster I'm the only one who seems to care If you decide to worship the chaos I will not wait and watch as you burn (I will not wait and watch as you burn) They'll never be able to see That they crave this captivity

A few prisms of glass offer little comfort In the blackness The desolate emptiness, drinking Every last drop of life that's left in me I pray for absolution Let me return To the path of a tempting lie Lead me towards the light Truly, I've run awry My compass is spinning in the shadows It's funny how we believe the things that we tell ourselves to And our hearts simply follow I pray for absolution Let me return to the path Of a tempting lie Lead me towards the light I pray for absolution Let me return to the path Of a tempting lie Lead me towards the light

As the water drips from the sky, I start to wander If I'm still alive, then I have to find the answer Could it be that it was a dream and I'm still beside her? Right before my eyes, a tragic surprise, the water stops Wickedness will rain and drown us in her sorrow and her thirst If I hope to survive, I must think faster; I'm losing ground Should I pull back the veil? You had the best of me (Now taste the worst) All that glimmers is not gold I may be wrong, but your brilliance is my darkness You had me convinced that together we could fly Until I started scratching at the surface (And I saw beyond your masquerade) Your body is an illness Temples crashing down all around me, panic chokes the streets The golden city falls, and with it, our lives go up in flames Should I pull back the veil? You had the best of me (Now taste the worst) All that glimmers is not gold I may be wrong, but your brilliance is my darkness You had me convinced that together we could fly Until I started scratching at the surface (And I saw beyond your masquerade) Your body is an illness (All shall be made clear) We've been watching you wander (My blood runs cold) There's no need to run farther (I fear I know the truth) Come into our arms, brother (I tear back the cowl and stare into my own eyes) Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? (Yeah) (Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey) I pull back the veil You had the best of me (Now taste the worst) All that glimmers is not gold I may be wrong, but your brilliance is my darkness You had me convinced that together we could fly Until I started scratching at the surface (And I saw beyond your masquerade) Your body is an illness And I'm sickened by the thought of you, I may never be the same again (I may never be the same again)

(Wake up, wake up, wake up) My eyes open wide as I wake, panting; some say that dreams have deeper meaning They are cries from our subconscious I never put much stock in such ideas But I feel strangely compelled to recount this one to my love, my Annabel Shaking her gently, I wonder why her flesh has the chill of virgin snow My thoughts are disrupted as reality hits me like a bolt of lightning, and I scream We are the crucified, we are the virtuous, we are the damned We are the crucified, this is our nightmare, let's pray we never fall asleep We are the crucified, we are the virtuous, we are the damned We are the crucified, this is our nightmare, let's pray we never fall asleep We are the crucified, we are the virtuous, we are the damned We are the crucified, this is our nightmare, let's pray we never fall asleep We are the crucified, we are the virtuous, we are the damned We are the crucified, this is our nightmare, let's pray we never fall asleep We are the crucified, we are the virtuous, we are the damned We are the crucified, this is our nightmare, let's pray we never fall asleep We are the crucified, we are the virtuous, we are the damned We are the crucified, this is our nightmare, let's pray we never fall asleep We are the crucified, we are the virtuous, we are the damned We are the crucified, oh We are the crucified, we are the virtuous, we are the damned We are the crucified, oh Imprisoned beneath the world where the soulless dwell Lies a place that the damned call home A place where the virtuous hide in fear, a place we see only in our nightmares A place where the sun is silent Imprisoned beneath the world where the soulless dwell Lies a place that the damned call home A place where the virtuous hide in fear, a place we see only in our nightmares A place where the sun is silent Imprisoned beneath the world where the soulless dwell Lies a place that the damned call home A place where the virtuous hide in fear, a place we see only in our nightmares A place where the sun is silent
