Trapped in this life together as we struggle each and every day will it ever get any better time will tell our fate search for deliverance anything to take the pain away fight for the answers sign your life away How can we be so blind that we cannot see that happiness is so far from being free To have the life I'd die a thousand times what makes this world go 'round only corrupts our minds we give you take can't take this anymore the rich keep getting richer the poor keep living poor Time will tell our fate Can't be pushed much further every man has the right to change his ways deception not the answer make the sacrifice plow through the faithless spit in the face of agony its time to take back take back what you gave How can we be so blind that we cannot see that happiness is so far from being free To have the life I'd die a thousand times what makes this world go 'round only corrupts our minds we give you take can't take this anymore the rich keep getting richer the poor keep living poor Time will tell our fate Darkness controls all of man a life that we've built upon sand tuning whats left of this place into a life of eternal disgrace a race to be God among men greed will consume all it can damnation a certain demise looking for truth in the midst of a lie darkness controls all of man a life that we've built upon sand tuning whats left of this place into a life of eternal disgrace who will decide your self worth

Here's to the confrontation here's to the sleepless nights companion of the fire I will unearth the lies I see inside betrayal confide Why live in fear I shed no tears lie to your peers so insincere you failed, you failed so miserably but I'm still standing control, control this energy for it consumes me Just try what once was lost is now gone forever to see through my eyes what once was trust now replaced with anger This anger it burns from within fueled by your ignorance the closer we get to the end scarred by your own regrets No more will I be blinded thus taken for a fool despite all good intentions of what I thought I once knew I can't change time you've crossed the line Why live in fear I shed no tears lie to your peers so insincere you failed, you failed so miserably but I'm still standing control, control this energy for it consumes me Just try what once was lost is now gone forever to see through my eyes what once was trust now replaced with anger

Memories left in time give me the strength to move on accept the loss of reason to find find a way to say farewell and not goodbye So many questions lie within the depths of our past we keep reinventing wheels await the day no longer sacrifice Time slipping away this is all too real can't explain the way this makes me feel I'll never say I didn't try I can't sit back and watch you die I shall not sell my soul in vein hold on so gracefully Everything in life shall drift away hold on to what's true to you We, we shall be stripped of all our flesh we, we shall stand up and rise against Time slipping away this is all too real can't explain the way this makes me feel I'll never say I didn't try I can't sit back and watch you die Embrace Insanity as it courses through my veins Read between the lines as we corrupt our minds we see unrelenting greed I see your face and it sickens me mass hypocrisy making its way to me sit back watch it bleed the dream inducing hate another casualty Time slipping away this is all too real can't explain the way this makes me feel I'll never say I didn't try I can't sit back and watch you die I shall not sell my soul in vein just hold on tight for one more day hold on so gracefully Everything in life shall drift away hold on to what's true to you

You've got to pay for consequences brought forth by anger you got to take more more time to reconcile and break free He who walks in the shadows holds onto the ice cold hand of death I've seen the aftermath just as sure as you'll pay for all you sins just when you think its impossible you gain the nerve to go down that road again re-open whats been done before an insatiable love that never ends Start blaming yourself stop blaming the world stop blaming all the ones who pray for you just open your eyes and meet your demise and fight with all the strength you have inside You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink it's sins away you follow the steps of your father will you ever be who you want to be rip out the shame and rebuild your soul own up to the blood that once was shed so precious so beautiful to be given the chance to live again Start blaming yourself stop blaming the world stop blaming all the ones who pray for you just open your eyes and meet your demise and fight with all the strength you have inside Rise to your feet and justify the truth of a lie Search in your soul to say goodbye Why live the lie is it worth all the pain and anguish try one more time take control of your so called life Start blaming yourself stop blaming the world stop blaming all the ones who pray for you just open your eyes and meet your demise and fight with all the strength you have inside

Evil I let you inside my life my heart my soul felt so complete I reminisce those days and memories of all the things she used to say your existence dead to me dead to me A magnificent creation we never thought to question why misery consumes our lives My sweet angel of grace take me so far from this place All hope is lost I've nothing left for you I wash my hands of a life that was untrue behold she dwells in misery so help me God I'll find my way find my way I love you I hate you I can see through you Destroying all those things I held so dear its funny how this time you act sincere goodbye I've lost the will to try I'll see you in the afterlife afterlife My sweet angel of grace take me so far from this place

You're free to go no remorse for the precious lives that you've left behind the tears have dried but your soul is soaking wet with the past you hide So many questions unanswered so many thoughts fill my mind soon will be your time to suffer and burn with the likes of your kind where innocent souls meet destruction marks the end of a life I never knew we cry as we look to the heavens clench teeth in disgust at the thought of you disgust at the thought of you Left in our minds is a hollow spot that was once full of happiness and now we turn to the ones that can help replace them with hope and bliss clench my teeth In time we will become whole inside once again oh lord have mercy on our souls once again I could never feel the pain nor could you ever explain I must pray to keep me sane I never had the chance to know part of my past my past where innocent souls meet destruction marks the end of a life I never knew we cry as we look to the heavens clench teeth in disgust at the thought of you disgust at the thought of you

Who will repent for all your sins we fight the war that no one wins a mothers tears the devils grin a fathers pride torn from within to live to die to laugh to cry we give we take we love we hate can't take this any more Anymore is this what we've become and yet we try once again to wash this blood off of our hands And when the star falls to the earth you've lost the window of rebirth a great abyss a locusts sting blacken the sun a wrath to bring war torn how can we escape this horror reborn a chance to change this all forever Anymore is this what we've become and yet we try once again to wash this blood off of our hands Look and behold a white horse look and behold a pale horse we've sought to conquer all or die Worthy is the lamb who was slain

Behold the light as we all watch a storm of souls unveil the flashes of our lives a dawn of death embrace the parasites in which the world we all once knew becomes a kataklysmic tomb They feed unto our weakness unmercifully so dark the con of man take heed and see a better part of thee can't you foresee your cursed eternity eternity Will it fulfill the prophecy into the heavens shall we gaze make way the coming of the king or is it death you seek Who will prevail as war is waged for seven years will you be lovers of yourselves embrace the plague as the last trumpets sound when death runs rampant in your mind its death you shall not find They feed unto our weakness unmercifully so dark the con of man take heed and see a better part of thee can't you foresee your cursed eternity eternity Will it fulfill the prophecy into the heavens shall we gaze make way the coming of the king or is it death you seek Into the void of untangeable strife born of weakness fallen victim to filth and disease contradiction and perils shall humble the fall to your knees to your knees They feed unto our weakness unmercifully so dark the con of man take heed and see a better part of thee can't you foresee your cursed eternity eternity Will it fulfill the prophecy into the heavens shall we gaze make way the coming of the king or is it death you seek
