Time drifts away The moments gone forever Tears have all dried up And a wall of stone took your place Dreams disappear Night and day now seems the same My soul needs a fountain Your holy love to ease my thirst Lord I need an answer I feel a need to know I remember the silence The words you never spoke Dying to remember Dying This existence plain and shallow I need to find my way again Dying to remember Dying This existence plain and shallow I need to find my way again ...again Fight against the tide of time There is no use in looking back Dreams are taken from our hands As water washes away the sand Life has made me stronger Everyday a new game to play There's no one to blame I just look at my own self Life is like an infinite race No one can take my place... no one. Apart from everyone Not in body nor in mind I saw a man build his kingdom in the sand Denying the freedom that he could find Without you everything is black Without you I could never find Find the path that leads the way The way into the Promised Land. Lord I need an answer I feel a need to know I remember the silence The words you never spoke Dying to remember Dying This existence plain and shallow I need to find my way again Dying to remember Dying This existence plain and shallow I need to find my way again

One more time it burns at night As the tears fall I can't remember the last time I cried I can't explain how much I hate or love myself But do I lie if I say I feel the same way about you? This lullaby is only in my head The real world is the one you represent Why can't I see you in the mirror Father, mother I stand alone And I can't face the world As I choke on reality's sick and twisted game I see my life and I just can't stand it As I bear you and the one's you've handled Where did she go As you held me in your arms Once again I lay here at night As a wayward son consumed by things gone wrong God I can’t explain how much I miss her As I kneel in tears asking her to come back This guilt is a part of me alone This emptiness the one I represent Why can't I see me in the mirror? Father, mother I stand alone And I can't face the world As I choke on reality's sick and twisted game I see my life and I just can't stand it As I bear you and the one's you've handled Where did she go As you held me in your arms

An unreal dream Where peace is all around Beneath the glimmer of color The shadow of the thorn With open eyes shining Through the empty halls around What once seemed real Just a shadow in my mind Longing, searching for the truth Say, say where I stand Beneath the silent wheel The same dusty road A heart marble cold Feeling nothing but contempt With eyes in search for freedom Blinded by prejudice A mind in search of wisdom Fooled... again Longing, searching for the truth Say, say where I stand I want to know the answer to What lies beyond this hand Betray your will Release these chains that hold me down Empty gods that stain you life Guilt remains Defeat the gods that hold me down These pantheon walls no longer stand Lost within yourself Try to reach for something new The rose that promised hope Withered from within Stop staring at the sky You are way above at the moon

Your words cut deep just like a knife Make me bleed Poisonous venom you live in hate Feed me fear It's hard to see behind your lies As your words betray your thin disguise Words adrift in a sea of lies Lost in the tides Destroy at will to find what you lack A stab in the back It's hard to see behind your lies As your words betray your thin disguise Your intention is hard to erase A masquerade with an angel's face In your eyes the burning desire Words behind a heart of stone Don't mean a thing Cover my eyes so I can see With my soul Your intention is hard to erase A masquerade with an angel's face In your eyes the burning desire I want to see what's real tonight

Sometimes I lose sight The future... a mystery Hold to the dreams of the past Fear escapes my grasp I don't look back at the ghost... At the ghost behind Take this away And let me see what my eyes can't see Chasing dreams in this insanity Leave the past behind us Never look back Follow new horizons Until the fire dies Misguided by misfortune Divided through lies Is it my faith that has been twisted? And I don't know why Humanity's my burden Until the day I die I hold on to your heart And I know you'll pull me out In my dreams I find peace Apart from the world that I know All I see distant promise made to be broken With these lies my dreams turn into nightmares Now my dreams just disappear The time has come to let go Say goodbye to the dreams that now lie broken I'll go on and find a better day A child that cries inside me A whisper from the dark Which path to take into the twilight Through out this night Insanity is my savior In this foolish stride I walk this endless road Through ghosts in my mind

That hunting voice Begins to break free I must accept what can't be changed And try to forget the rest Ignorance, oh the endless fight For what is really worth Feel the wrath Tame it's drive There's no use in looking back Just tell me what to do I confess Unseen is the truth Binding are the lies I'll dare escape from my demands And leave the past behind Ignorance, oh the endless fight For what is really worth Feel the wrath Tame it's drive There's no use in going back Just tell me what to do I confess The plans laid before me Are simply not the will of who I used to be The darkness inside me That hunting voice that burns inside of me Ignorance, oh the endless fight For what is really worth Feel the wrath Tame it's drive There's no use in looking back Just tell me what to do I confess

I. Asleep (Instrumental) II. Rain Sitting by myself Remembered yesterdays The hours flew by While I watched the rain Innocent child Admiring how water fell From the sky Each drop a reason to grieve My innocence died As leaves in autumn fell Impending coldness With it's messenger the rain The promise of life in time a threat "To live is to fear" the elders said Forgetting my days, my only escape Falling eternally A victim of memories Once it all seemed clear No room for sin Only ignorance can justify A perfect dream in a crystal bottle Like a message lost at sea I find strength deep within me Away from the world that I remember Dreams are lost in time Corrupted purity Losing purpose and will Away from the world that I remember It seemed so easy So easy to live When all was a mystery Locked in the unknown These feelings I can't explain Love and hate feel the same Answers I seek are astray What may come? When colors get so pale Is there no soothing this pain? When will it rain? III. Soliloquy A time for change A time to rearrange Priorities to find Lies that bind Regretting the past A gateway to go mad Enslaved by regression To old aggressions Loneliness hides Your thoughts in your eyes How can I foresee? When my present burdens me So I am alone, I wonder where I stand In this master plan IV. Listen? (Instrumental) V. Deaf Ears That Turn Away Rain pours down on me Washing away my sadness Inside I'm lost Lost in thoughts A prison for myself I cry To deaf ears that turn away I cry At skies that can't answer my prayers I remember all his words "Don't loose your faith, don’t loose your faith…" Pale colors fade The sent of the rain Still alive in my head My shallow heart wounded The past a tray of memories Hoping this storm Will change my fate A raging storm is all I see Not at all what I thought it would be Still I wonder what’s expected from me Life is a unique kind of feeling Traveled through an unstable road In time we are worn from all this Faith alone can save us from the fall
