Waking the Fallen

Wake the ones and rise tonight Fallen souls, we shine so bright Rise now and ever, forgotten memories Rise now and ever, forgotten memories No one can touch us

"I'll try," she said as he walked away. "Try not to lose you." Two vibrant hearts could change. Nothing tears the being more than deception, unmasked fear. "I'll be here waiting" tested but secure. Nothing hurts my world, just affects the ones around me When sin's deep in my blood, you'll be the one to fall. "I wish I could be the one, the one who won't care at all But being the one on the stand, I know the way to go, no one's guiding me. When time soaked with blood turns its back, I know it's hard to fall. Confined in me was your heart I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me." Nothing will last in this life, our time is spent constructing, now you're perfecting a world... meant to sin. Constrict your hands around me, squeeze 'til I cannot breathe, this air tastes dead inside me, contribute to our plague. Break all your promises, tear down this steadfast wall, restraints are useless here, tasting salvation's near. Nothing hurts my world, just affects the ones around me When sin's deep in my blood, you'll be the one to fall. "I wish I could be the one, the one who won't care at all But being the one on the stand, I know the way to go, no one's guiding me. When time soaked with blood turns its back, I know it's hard to fall. Confined in me was your heart I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me."

[M.

[Matt Shadows:] Far away in this land I must go, Out of the sight of the One. A punishment sent from his hand A hardship that no one should know Now go out of the sight of the One, Away in this land you must go. [The Rev:] Where has he gone? What have you done? A voice commands from high above this earth. From the soil his blood cries out to me Murder, liar, vengeance, deceit. [Matt Shadows:] Far away in this land I must go Out of the sight of the One A punishment sent from his hands A hardship that no one should know Now go out of the sight of the One Away in this land you must go

With this ink in our skin we've sealed our fate, and the axe comes early (only naturally) So what does that matter? There's a bed of skeletons waiting for me on the other side They're waiting for my next move (next fatal breath) Human lives to me seem so unreal, can't see through the fog (nothing past a grey wall) see past the stereotype Belief, structure built up in you. I'll tear you down and the one who created you If they didn't have One how would they act? If we didn't have hope how would we behave? Would they still feel remorse if they slaughtered innocent beings? Or is hope the only thing that keeps you sane? A good friend once told me you are our memory without them we equal nothing And all I can see is the place I wanna be Suddenly my life was so free Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground their echoes are reaching my ears Nights coming fast, suns going down But keep away from me... keep away from me Keep away from me... keep away from me. Keep away from me. (it's hard, to keep me in this place, keep away from me) We may have created the beginning, mentally We may have created the beginning, physically To the end of our human existence... I see through you The fear that's in your eyes A good friend once told me we are our memory Without it we equal nothing And all I can see is the place I wanna be Timeless my life was so free Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground their echoes are reaching my ears Nights coming fast, suns going down - confused I don't know the answers but neither do you

Hard news, taken harder, don't look to me Disappointed, we don't agree, I don't need your praise... (don't look my way for help, from the beginning you came to me) Never asked you to like me, I don't want your praise (we won't play your games) Look down on me, spit in my face, you're nothing to me:not to me Darkened eyes you'll see, there is no hope, no savior in me (don't look this way, don't breathe this way, don't stare this way, anymore) Learned from years gone by, no one will care, what happens to me (don't look this way, don't breathe this way, don't stare this way, anymore) My presence won't be ignored, no not today Don't walk in my direction, turn the other way (don't look my way for help, from the beginning you came to me) Asking questions, predetermined answers, you won't find them here (we don't want your opinion) And I don't want you, I won't let you think, compromise is near. 'Cause it's not near. I'm alone in here No more feelings Killed my fears Don't ask you'll never know you're left behind and I'll be exposed Far away, you keep on trying... Holding me down, breaking away, trying to distance my life. Not one in the crowd, but one with the answer the one that could change your mind But it's not true, I don't need you Don't waste your time, and don't waste mine I'm not your friend, I won't soothe your soul And in the end you're all dead to me....

Black enchanting eyes, cut through my heart with no regret or sign of life They tear apart my pride and cold runs through my veins I feel their stare from miles haunting every step and they won't stop hunting me down Forget the time will come, when all around me's burned and you'll still see me there Asking where you went to and what person brought you here And why you left the burning children cold out in the night and calling for you all alone... Dark in their hearts, I can feel it burn inside of me Tormented young with no souls, haunting me Pain in their lives all they know is misery Take these chains away that are holding me down (holding me down) They'll find you alone and your desperate and villainous ways Turning their hearts into stone they seek more than vengeance Look in their eyes your pain is their satisfaction Look in their eyes and see the darkness take hold Lives controlled by faith (waiting for) Tired of your parade (waiting for) No sign of fair chance (waiting for) Burn for the rest of time (waiting) Hear the haunting words (they'll find you alone) lost children with no heart are crying (turning their hearts into stone) and you're the lost mother they're calling Go now, run and hide (seek more than vengeance) I hear them crying at night (your pain is their satisfaction) outside when the planets are falling (for the rest of time) They want to feel and know you hear them (go now, run and hide) Dark in their hearts, I can feel it burn inside of me Tormented young with no souls, haunting me Pain in their lives all they know is misery Take these chains away that are holding me down (holding me down) Go now Run and hide Eternal rest in time Eternal rest in time

We keep writing, talking and planning, but everything's changing. We all know what to do but no one does it. Now this time has passed and full of regret. Two in my heart have left me a while, I stand alone. When they get back, it won't be the same. It won't be the same. My life, you've always been there. Now you're gone and my head's spinning. Left the childhood, left the memories, left the good times in the past. Moving on your time has run out. Wishing the clock would stand still, the world can wait. Wasting away once again, once lived as friends. As time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life. The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night. Never will I forget you, and all the memories past. So rarely I get to see your face. Growing I looked to you in guidance. We knew that time would kill us, but you're still so close to me. To me you were my life. To me you were my soul companion. Now you are so far away. Nothing can take away the time and the memories we had. Come back to the days when we were young Come back to the days when nothing mattered. To the days when nothing mattered. [2x] As time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life. The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night.

Two nights ago I was shot A bullet sunk straight through my skull A friend pulled the trigger that silenced me No pain as I awoke, but dead Seeing the face of the man The time as he lays down his gun I knew this was going to take place White silence, so peaceful, so numb No one knows the time they're changing No one will see through. You're all gone to me (gone to me) I've been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep Intuition and a warning to believe (I will believe) Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay Moving on seemed to be somber bliss Without one goodbye I watch my mother shed tears No... This gun has stopped time in its tracks Has altered the course of my fate Destiny is shattered and timeless Closed eyes feel the cold winds embrace I'll watch you call, calling for me, you can't bring back time... Close your eyes or look away, fate exposed and won't let me stay Hope will fall tonight with broken wings, descending entity in me My voice has been taken from me. The more I listen, the more I have to say You're all gone to me (gone to me) I've been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep Intuition and a warning to believe (I will believe) Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay Moving on seemed to be somber bliss Without one goodbye I watch my mother shed tears (and taste the blood she cries and taste the blood she cries) I'll watch you call, calling for me, you can't bring back time... Close your eyes or look away, fate exposed and won't let me stay Hope will fall tonight with broken wings, descending entity in me

Cry alone, I've gone away No more nights, no more pain I've gone alone, took all my strength But I've made the change, I won't see you tonight Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood all the ones around me, I cared for and loved Building up inside of me A place so dark, so cold, I had to set me free Don't mourn for me, you're not the one to place the blame As bottles called my name, I won't see you tonight Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood all the ones around me, I cared for and most of all I loved but I can't see myself that way please don't forget me or cry while I'm away Cry alone, I've gone away No more nights, no more pain I've gone alone, took all my strength But I've made the change, I won't see you tonight So far away, I'm gone. Please don't follow me tonight. And while I'm gone, everything will be alright. [2x] No more breath inside Essence left my heart tonight

Come back to me, this is unconceivable Breaking apart the ones you love Hate runs deep for what you've done to us Left alone through suicide... suicide I just want to die, Take away my life Lay by your side, Come back to me, this is unconceivable Breaking apart the ones you love Hate runs deep for what you've done to us Left alone through suicide... Look at my face you pierce with a blank stare No dream could prepare a heart for a lifeless friend. He's gone. Nothing will take back time. I need him back, but nothing will take back time. I can see just fine, you in my life, There by my side as it starts to fade I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream A nightmare full of sorrow Nightmare full of pain Nightmare full of pain I look back and see the twisted road Best friends and despair took its toll [4x] Take away Sorrow sank deep inside my blood All the ones around me, I cared for And most of all I loved But I can't see myself that way Please don't forget me Or cry while I'm away Look at my face you pierce with a blank stare No dream could prepare a heart for a lifeless friend. He's gone. Nothing will take back time. I need him back, but nothing will take back time. I can see just fine, you in my life, There by my side as it starts to fade I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream A nightmare full of sorrow I can see just fine, you in my life, There by my side as it starts to fade I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream A nightmare full of sorrow

Dust begins to fall to the ground (and you sit there and do nothing) The air is cold and thin (you're content with doing nothing) Thoughts are haunting me as I look around (but in my life, I wanted more) This will never end, when I'll bleed forever (this will never end) Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong; This spot in hell's where I belong I've come so far - it's been so long Don't know why it started or where it came from Outside shell is strong - confident, (there is nowhere to run and hide) But slowly eats away; (stuck alone inside your head) Like a man plagued with disease, I try to fight (guess you're better off dead) Through my pores it seems to seep (your mind bleeding) When I'll bleed forever Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong This spot in hell's where I belong I've come so far - it's been so long Don't know why it started or where it came from And you sit there and do nothing; You're content with doing nothing There's nowhere to run and hide When you're living to die Stuck alone inside your head, Better off dead The phone would ring in the empty house, No one's around Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong This spot in hell's where I belong I've come so far - it's been so long Don't know why it started or where it came from But in my life, I wanted more; I needed more, I taste more

Lived through you, safe with how we lived our lives, with how it all turned out. (But things are bound to change) Uncovered lies, surfaced throughout, will make you change your mind Sometimes life is altered Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right When I see you, I can read it in your eyes, fate misunderstood. (But things are bound to change) Swallowed the lies, can't blame you for, thinking with your heart. Sometimes life is altered. Break from the ropes your hands are tied. Uneasy with confrontation. Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right I see my world crumble and fall, before my eyes I know, I know. Dark will turn to light, in time I'll be alright I know, I know (I never imagined my life could turn out this way So cold so black so alone) Living goes by fast, catch your breath and it will pass you by. And it won't last, to sulk with the memories you hold. [2x] Sometimes life is altered. Break from the ropes your hands are tied. Uneasy with confrontation. Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right
