Curse of the Artizan

I have rings of gold, a wealth untold I've traveled everywhere I've staked my claim upon this land As far as you can see The luxuries that I possess Won't guard me from despair I hold this world inside my hand But it's not enough for me I'd trade it all - if I could fly I'd trade it all - if I could fly Ride the winds - forever high I'd trade it all - if I could fly The truth be told, I'm growing old Skies are turning grey The sands of time are running fast And soon I'll disappear The fortune of my legacy Can't buy another day I only hope my soul is cast Into the stratosphere I'd trade it all - if I could fly I'd trade it all - if I could fly Ride the winds - forever high I'd trade it all - if I could fly Ride the thermals Climbing eternal

Fear has cast a shadow upon me Madness is at bay The demons that reside in my mind are reforming I hope I can keep them away they won't let up When they beat me down I always rise back up When they beat me down I always rise back up Circumstance has scarred my conviction Ambitions worn and frayed Energy relentlessly flowing I'm tortured by the dreams I have made they won't let up When they beat me down I always rise back up When they beat me down I always rise back up Take back undying vision Turn the gears of regression Face what I believe Free my destiny they won't let up When they beat me down I always rise back up When they beat me down I always rise back up

The man in black looks in my eyes My true emotion compromised A burning rage is all I feel My darkest thoughts are soon revealed He waits until the anger builds The cup of evil has been filled I swallow all that I can bear The man in black is everywhere When I can't contain The anger and the pain He takes me to the bottom then pulls me back Every time I bleed He gives me what I need The only friend I have is the man in black Searching for some clarity His venom is my therapy Forget the things that you've been told The man in black will free your soul - The man in black When I can't contain The anger and the pain He takes me to the bottom then pulls me back Every time I bleed He gives me what I need The only friend I have is the man in black - The man in black I've learned to live with all the pain A little madness keeps me sane And when it's more than I can stand The man in black will take my hand When I can't contain The anger and the pain He takes me to the bottom then pulls me back Every time I bleed He gives me what I need The only friend I have is the man in black

There's a fire that burns in my heart It's been calling me from the start Time can't take the dreams I have made There's a fire that burns in my heart Pushing forward through all the years Manifesting hope in my fears Clutching the dreams I've betrayed Utilizing what still remains Once a victim of the machine Staying true to what I've foressen Heed the calling of my true art There's a fire that burns in my heart My true path Will not fade I will thrive Seize the day Through my dreams I will fly Wings of fate Touch the sky The fire is calling me I'm yearning eternally There's a fire that burns in my heart It's been calling me from the start Time can't take the dreams I have made There's a fire that burns in my heart There's a fire that burns in my heart It's been calling me from the start Time can't take the dreams I have made There's a fire that burns in my heart The fire is calling me I'm yearning eternally

Do you pray out of fear when you're lonely? Can a handful of tears make the hurting subside? Are the walls of serenity falling? Will a savior of sanity hear all you cries? There's a fading story Hidden deep within your mind Seek the fading story There's a magic you will find Will lifetime of agony haunt you? Does a mountain of memories stand in your way? Your future is holding the answer It's calling you, calling you don't turn away There's a fading story Hidden deep within your mind Seek the fading story There's a magic you will find There's a stream in the valley of sadness Flowing forever behind a closed eye There's a scene that destroying the madness It is showing the answers that keep dreams alive There's a fading story Hidden deep within your mind Seek the fading story There's a magic you will find

I've fallen for the game I'l never be the same In order to survive I'll fill your head with lies You'll see... I've planned so carefully The future's in the making Believe... so easy to deceive It's all mine for the taking Now I'm able to acquire The fortunes I desire Consumed with only greed I cast a lonely seed Throughout mans history We rape prosperity In the end we're all the same We all must play the game You'll see... I've planned so carefully The future's in the making Believe... so easy to deceive It's all mine for the taking The strong persevere The weak disappeaame within a game The blackness inside It keeps us alive We're playing the game within a game The strong persevere The weak disappaer We're playing the game within a game The countless deceived The stories I've weaved I'm playing the game within a game

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

A man with awesome power He reaches for his pen The urge is growing stronger The visions won't go away The years of tamed resentment Bound by obscurity The gift that is his birthright A craft to set him free A canvas holds his anger The granite fear and shame Each brush stroke painting fury The chisel unlocks the pain Within the illustrations Their certain tragedy The beast delivers vengeance You cannot contain the - Curse of the Artizan Through the years he sealed away Grief that caused his slow decay Tortured by a mind confined Casting shadows over time Magnificent creations Will tear your world apart Unleashing devastation You cannot escape the - Curse of the Artizan
