There's no truth in what you say The story, it constantly strays Oh yeah Just falsehoods and alibis You can't even look in my eyes Oh no Lies, tell me lies, always lies All I ever hear from you... Lies, tell me lies, always lies All I ever hear from you... All I ever hear from you... You want to keep control Tear me down, make me old Hold me still in your chains Cause me sorrow, cause me pain Learned all the tricks of the trade Always changing the rules of the game Oh no A master of disguise The mask that you hide behind Oh no Lies, tell me lies, always lies All I ever hear from you... Lies, tell me lies, always lies All I ever hear from you... All I ever hear from you... You want to keep control Tear me down, make me old Hold me still in your chains Cause me sorrow, cause me pain Tell me why you gotta treat me this way I'm the puppet and you're pulling the strings Keep me hidden like a jack-in-the-box Find a weakness and pick your spot You hold the key at it's starting to turn What a lesson I finally learned What your doing is no surprise I can see it in you eyes, yeah Why do you always keep me down Disrespect me and kicked me around When I die your gonna dance on my grave At least for now I'll be saved Safe from all you vicious lies Safe from false tears you've cry Safe from all the games you played Some things never change

Stand tall, answer the call On your way to the Sun, oh... Hold tight, your leaving tonight The journey to hell has just begun All dead, fields of red Your are the chosen one, oh It's clear, the end is near Better hold on to your gun He starts his ride... Fires of hell Burn in his eyes Death rides a black horse Death rides a black horse Death rides a black horse Death rides a black horse, no... No fear, the enemies near Show what you have been taught, yeah So clean, a killing machine Bet you never once had thought No way, it ends today To many lives have been bought, yeah Tell me what you see... He starts his ride... Fires of hell Burn in his eyes Death rides a black horse Death rides a black horse Death rides a black horse Death rides a black horse, no... He starts his ride... Fires of hell Burn in his eyes Death rides a black horse Death rides a black horse Death rides a black horse Death rides a black horse, no... Death rides a black horse Death rides a black horse Death rides a black horse Death rides a black horse

Welcome to the festival Full of decadence and sins I tell you all, it's incredible You're all invited in We begin with this collection Just look at this display The lunatics, the sycophant's What a colorful parade Oh, festival Oh, festival There's many strange exhibits For all to hear and see Tortured souls, corrupted worlds A feast fit for a king Make you way around the grounds See all the twisted freaks A total rush of insanity Now rises to it's peak Oh, festival Oh, festival The climax of the show you see Meant to cause you agony Confusion, disillusion And despair Spirits flow, blood will spill The silence right before the kill All apart of this evil Open-air Oh, festival Oh, festival Yeah, festival, yeah, festival

It's a cold hard pain, deep down inside Shared by the lonely, the evil, the holy It chooses no sides... And it's hard... it's hard... hard... In the dead of night, in the dark we know What we try to hide, seems to always show This eternal pain, that we keep inside It's the afterglow of the crucified In the darkness of night, there is no where to hide In the afterglow Let the torment begin, as you twist and you bend In the afterglow You run for your life, from the demons that hide In the afterglow Never heard, never seen as you cry and you scream In the afterglow I can't understand, what I'm feeling inside Desperate and lonely I feel like the only person alive And it's hard... it's hard... hard... In the dead of night, in the dark we know What we try to hide, seems to always show This eternal pain, that we keep inside It's the afterglow of the crucified Oh you gotta believe me Oh listen to me Oh In the darkness of night, there is no where to hide In the afterglow Let the torment begin, as you twist and you bend In the afterglow You run for your life, from the demons that hide In the afterglow Never heard, never seen as you cry and you scream In the afterglow, yeah yeah

Live you're life the only way you know About a thousand miles left to go Moving faster, towards disaster Oh the lines in the road got your eyes in a hold Still push onward The quicker the pace It's the trill that you chase Lost, you wonder You've been living to fast... Since it all began Like you're nailed to the cross By your feet and hands Living on the edge of time... You, living on the edge of time Living on the edge of time... You, living on the edge of time Can't stop because it's to late now Hit the pedal, your throwing down Road starts winding, while lines blinding The road never ends It's just twist and it bends Nothing stops you The fog and the haze Has got your mind in a daze Try to break through... You've been living to fast... Since it all began Like you're nailed to the cross By your feet and hands Living on the edge of time... You, living on the edge of time Living on the edge of time... You, living on the edge of time You blink your eye There's a dead end sign Now you're at the end of the line Time to wake from this crazy dream Hit the breaks You start to scream Moving faster towards disaster... Still push onward Lost, you wonder Nothing stops you Try to break through...

Caught in the middle Looking for nothing Taking in what's around Time doesn't matter Life's gonna happen It keeps rolling on... Like the wind through the tree's A cool misty breeze Against my face The warmth of the sun... Got to learn to walk before you run Can't go through life always under the gun

Break the circle See the master Look into his eyes Animalistic anger Rage burning deep inside Never ending nightmares It's all you do to see As you crawl before him on your knees Your soul is cast away For all eternity It's the evil within You burning, twisting, turning It's the evil within You rising feels like dieing Look in the madness with the devil Let the dance begin His deceptions slowly start to pull you in Into the fire where there is never sympathy All that's left for you is beg and plead Your soul is cast away For all eternity It's the evil within... You burning, twisting, turning It's the evil within You rising feels like dieing The controversial anti-Christ Laughing as you pay the price Gloating at your final breath Weaves his hand, the stage is set Death orchestra plays... Demon's melody Devil's symphony... From the grave

Beneath my feet a fresh fallen snow Miles and miles and miles to go A north wind blows cold today Makes it hard to find my way To the sanctuary I seek Lies beyond this mountain peak Winter's moon lights the snow Showing me the way to go I must move onward I must move onward I must move onward And all around I hear the sounds Voices calling to me They lead the way to the place I so desperately seek I wearing down, the cold surrounds It's weakening me It's weakening me Then I see past frozen trees Distant light glowing hopelessly Has my journey reached it end I'm so tired, cold and spent I'm in need of rest and peace A winter haven tranquility A place to lay my head Eternity, enough's been said I must move onward I must move onward I must move onward And all around I hear the sounds Voices calling to me They lead the way to the place I so desperately seek I wearing down, the cold surrounds It's weakening me It's weakening me The light that I put before you, was an illusion I cast the flame away I am here to destroy you I'm your master, you are my slave Christ can't save you now Under my power I squeeze the life out of your precious soul Now it's mine, for all of time, it's this world I control Now that you're mine for all the time The blood leaks from your eyes I'll squeeze you till your dry Should not have entered the circle Should not have followed the visions displayed The way I played you was perfect, it lead you to me I cast your soul away Christ can't save you now Under my power I squeeze the life out of your precious soul Now it's mine, for all of time, it's this world I control Now that you're mine for all the time The blood leaks from your eyes I'll squeeze you till your dry... I must move onward I must move onward...

I, I do surrender A waiting payment for my sins I, I can't remember... Where the story ends or where it begins I've been living a lie Life on the line Now I realize... Deep inside, I fear you, I fear you I can't hide... All the souls I've taken for a ride Signs I cast aside... Should have read the words between the lines I've been living a lie Life on the line Now I realize... Deep inside, I fear you, I fear you! Now I stand here facing you Blood on my hands what can I do Drop down to my knee's and pray I will see another day I've been living a lie Life on the line Now I realize... Deep inside, I fear you, I fear you, I fear you, I fear you!

Late at night just thinking of you Wishing you were here to talk to, now, oh no At times I feel so all alone Travelling down this long and winding road I know that you'll be waiting for me I wish that I was with you Now, now I can't wait to see your face again But I'm so far away With every city I count the days... Oh, the days Another lonely hotel room I know that I'll be with you soon I know, I know Another show, another place Caught inside this same old race I know I know that you'll be waiting for me I wish that I was with you Now, now I can't wait to see your face again But I'm so far away With every city I count the days... Oh, the days

I look at the world And what it's gone through There's not much time for me or for you I just sit and wonder Destiny I ponder Oh yeah, oh ho ho... Just looking for time To dream and to think A cool summer rain My life on the break It's a world of phases In need of many changes Oh yeah yeah, yeah hi All I need is some peace A little peace of mine please A little space so I can breath That's all that I need Just give me answers to the questions that I have Don't know what I'm gonna find But I'm sure it's worth a laugh So many stories told, I hear them every day It's all so crazy, I just gotta get away All I need is some peace A little peace of mine please A little space so I can breath That's all that I need Yeah, It's all I need Oh oh, yeah yeah It's all I need No no no no Yeah, It's all I need It's all I need...
