You built this world around you, your universe
In spite of best intentions, things could not be worse
Chaos and fear left you hangin' by a thread
As you argue with the voice inside your head

Untethered angel
Falling into darkness
Don't be afraid of letting go
Givin' up yourself won't set you free

Mistreatment and dismay, nightmares of wasted days
Can't live your life this way, something needs to change
Healthy, accepting thoughts, intent on driving us
Avoidance at all costs, a painful thing to watch

Fear can't live inside you
Push you to the edge
Face the fear within you
Wake up from the dead

Untethered angel
Falling into darkness
Don't be afraid of letting go
Givin' up yourself won't set you free

Set you free

Untethered angel
Falling into darkness
Don't be afraid of letting go
Open your heart, be set you free
				

a nightmare to remember
i'd never be the same.
what began as laughter
so soon would turn to pain.
the sky was clear and frigid
the air was thick and still
now i'm not one to soon forget
and i bet i never will

picture for a moment
the perfect irony
a flawless new beginning
eclipsed by tragedy.
the uninvited stranger
started dancing on his own
so we said goodbye
to the glowing bride
and we made our way back home.

life was so simple then
we were so innocent.
father and mother
holding each other.

without warning
out of nowhere
like a bullet
from the night
crushing glass
rubber and steel
scorching fire
glowing lights
screams of terror
pain and fear
sounds of sirens
smoke in my eyes
sudden stillness
blackened silence
no more screaming
no more cries

stunned and bewildered
cold and afraid
torn up and broken
frightened and dazed

stunned and bewildered
cold and afraid
torn up and broken
frightened and dazed

lying on the table
in this unfamiliar place
i'm greeted by a stranger
a man without a face
he said, "son, do you remember?
do you even know your name?"
then he shined a light into my eyes
and said, "take this for the pain."

hopelessly drifting,
bathing in beautiful agony.
i am endlessly falling,
lost in this wonderful misery.
in peaceful sedation, i lay half awake
and all of the panic inside starts to fade.
hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony.

"tell me does this hurt you?"
said the faceless man.
"can you move all of your fingers?
can you try your best to stand?"
i asked about the others
is everyone ok?
he told me not to worry
as he turned and looked away.

hopelessly drifting,
bathing in beautiful agony.
i am endlessly falling,
lost in this wonderful misery.
in peaceful sedation, i lay half awake
and all of the panic inside starts to fade.
hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony.

day after day
and night after night
replaying the events
did they ever see the red light?

over and over
scene by scene
like a recurring nightmare haunting my dreams.
how can you prepare for what would happen next?
no son should ever have to see his father such a mess
it's a miracle he lived
it's a blessing no one died
by the grace of god above
everyone survived

life was so simple then
we were so innocent.
it will stay with us forever
a nightmare to remember
				

Written on the water, memories dissipate
Eyes begin to open, darkness drifts away
Time and space like roses, whose petals drop and fade
And fall into the light as it dreams of yesterday

Too much love is not enough for us
I was once too blind to see

There is nothing sacred, only heaven knows
So turn towards the self and look into your soul

Too much love is not enough for us
I was once too blind to see
Too much hope will never be enough
It's become so clear to me

Too much love is not enough for us
I was once too blind to see
Too much hope will never be enough
The truth is clear to me
				

In a dark and lonely corner, all the time and dark side in
Sits a local barstool warrior, talking to his gin
Reaching past decisions, emotions for a shot
Is he doomed to be a man this world forgot?

Just a prison [?] monster on his back

Call it bad luck, call it fate
Call it stuck here the rest of my days
Serves me right, right words wrong
And where do I belong?

In the glow of flashing lights, on a [?] road
Knocking at the [?]
Tries to signal [?], with anguish in our lies
Will he see the world of [?]

Or is it too late?

Why's it bad luck, why's it fate?
Or a past that you couldn't escape?
It's not right, something's wrong
Just where do I belong?

Promises made, crying in vain
All empty, never accepting the blame
And I'm letting go of the shame
A riddle of tears, as much chanting years
Are wasted on someone not willing to change
Now only a shadow remains
No one can save you and there's no one to save
And [?]
You will become all you see, all you feel
All you dream

Now I'm coming the [?] away and I don't look back
I'm starting a new life today
Now I see where I belong
				

i saw a white light
shining there before me
walking to it
i waited for the end
a final vision
promising salvation
a resurrection
for a fallen man

do you still wait for your god
and the symbol of your faith ?

i can free you from this hell and misery
you should never be ashamed, my son
i can give you power beyond anything
trust me you will be the chosen one

i was forgotten
a body scorned and broken
my soul rejected
taken by his blood
beyond redemption
i said i'm not worth saving

forever taken
from the one i loved

do i still wait for my god
and a symbol of my faith ?

i can lead you down the path and back to life
all i ask is that you worship me
i can help you seek revenge and save yourself
give you life for all eternity

servants of the fallen
fight to pave the way
for their saviour's calling
of this wicked day
through a veil of madness
with a vicious play
one man rises on
standing in their way

redemption
redemption for humanity
				

So far away from home, behind a distant reach
Face whispers from the edge, returning piece by piece
A lonely point of light, captured in a final glance
A solitary hint of life, discovered it by chance

God creators, dream destroyers
Spineless cowards and fearless warriors
Hopeful children, [?] fathers
[?] rivers fueled by hate, we worship [?]
[?] to save us from ourselves

All you will ever know, all live that ever was
All you despise our love, let the now turn [?]
This isolated [?], hurling through the cosmic deck
Would seem to go that straight if we were washed away

God creators, dream destroyers
Naughty secrets and bold explorers
Hopeful children, [?] fathers
Out of this place we call our home
I drift in space, we're on our own
[?] to save us from ourselves
				

[Instrumental]
				

nicholas :
safe in the light that surrounds me
free of the fear and the pain
my subconscious mind
starts spinning through time
to rejoign the past once again

nothing seems real
i'm starting to feel
lost in the haze of a dream

and as i draw near
the scene becomes clear
like watching my life on a screen

hello victoria so glad to see you
my friend.
				

[Instrumental]
				

nicholas :
subconscious strange sensation
unconscious relaxation
what a pleasant nightmare
and i can't wait to get there again

every time i close my eyes
there's another vivid surprise
another whole life waiting
chapters unfinished, fading

closer now- slowly coming into view
i've arrived- blinding sunshine beaming through

there's a house i'm drawn to
familiar settings nothing new
there's a pathway leading there
with a haunting chill in the air

there's a room at the top of the stairs
every i'm drawn up there
there's a girl in the mirror
her face is getting clearer
young child won't you tell me why i'm here ?

in her eyes- i sense a story never told
behind the disguise- there's something tearing
at her soul

victoria :
tonight i've been searching for it
a feeling that's deep inside me
tonight i've been searching for
the one that nobody knows
trying to break free

i just can't help myself
i'm feeling like i'm going out of my head
tears my heart into two
i'm not the one the sleeper thought he knew

nicholas :
back on my feet again
eyes open to the real world
metropolis surrounds me
the mirror's shattered the girl

why is this other life
haunting me every day
i'd break through to the other side
if i'd find the way

something's awfully familiar
the feeling's so hard to shake
could i have lived in that other world
it's a link that i'm destined to make

i'm still searching but i don't know what for
the missing key to unlock my mind's door

today i am searching for it
a feeling that won't go away
today i am searching for
the one that i only know
trying to break free

i just can't help myself
i'm feeling like i'm going out of my head
tears my heart into two
i'm not the one i thought i always knew

i just can't help myself
i'm feeling like i'm going out of my head
uncanny, strange deja-vu
but i don't mind- i hope to find the truth
				

nicholas :
all your eyes have ever seen
all you've ever heard
is etched upon my memory
is spoken through my words

all that i take with me
is all you've left behind
we're sharing one eternity
living in two minds
linked by an endless thread
impossible to break
				

nicholas :
alone at night
i feel so strange
i need to find
all the answers to my dreams

when i sleep at night
i hear the cries
what does this mean ?

i shut the door and traceled to another home
i met an older man, he seemed to be alone
i felt that i could trust him
he talked to me that night ;


lad did you know a girl was murdered here ?
this fatal tragedy was talked about for years

victoria's gone forever
only memories remains
she passed away
she was so young

without love
without truth
there can be no turning back

without faith
without hope
there can be no peace of mind

as the night went on
i started to find my way
i learned about a tragedy
a mystery still today

i tried to get more answers
but he said, you're on your own
the he turned away and left me
as i stand there all alone
he said, you'll know the truth
as your future days unfold

without love
without truth
there can be no turning back

without faith
without hope
there can be no peace of mind
				

headline : murder, young girl killed
desperate shooting at echoe's hill
dreadful ending, killer died
evidently suicide


a witness heard a horrifying sound
he ran to find a woman dead and
lying on the ground

standing by her was a man
nervous, shaking, gun in hand
witness says he tried to help
but he'd turned the weapon on himself

his body fell across that poor young girl
after shooting out in vain
the witness ran to call for assistance
a sad close to a broken love affair

our deeds have traveled far
what we have been is what we are

our deeds have traveled far
what we have been is what we are

she wanted love forever
but he had another plan
he fell into an evil way
she had to let him down
she said, i can't love a wayward man

she may have found a reason to forgive
if he had only tried to change
was their fatal meeting prearranged ?

had a violent struggle taken place ?
there was every sign that lead here
witness found a switchblade on the ground
was the victim unaware ?
they continued to investigate
they found a note in the killer's pocket
it could have been a suivide letter
maybe he had lost her love

i feel there's only one thing left to do
i'd sooner take my life away
than live with losing you

our deeds have traveled far
what we have been is what we are

our deeds have traveled far
what we have been is what we are

all that we learn this time
is carried beyond this life

all that we learn this time
is carried beyond this life
				

nicholas :
she never really had a chance
on that fateful moonlit night
sacrificed without a fight
a victim of her circumstance

now that i've become aware
and i've exposed this tragedy
a sadness grows inside of me
it all seems so unfair

i'm learning all about my life
by looking through her eyes

just beyond the churchyard gates
where the grass is overgrown
i saw the writing on her stone
i felt like i would suffocate

in loving memory of our child
so innocent, eyes open wide
i flet so empty as i cried
like part of me had died

i'm learning all about my life
by looking through her eyes

and as her image
wandered through my head
i wept just like a baby
as i lay awake in bed

and i know what it's like
to lose someone you love
and this felt just the same

she wasn't given any choice
desperation stole her voice
i've been given so much more in life
i've got a son, i've got a wife

i had to suffer one last time
to grieve for her and say goodbye
relive the anguish of my part
to find out who i was at last

the door has opened wide
i'm turning with the tide
looking through her eyes
				

the sleeper :
shine- lake of fire
lines takes me higher
my mind drips desire
confined and overtide

living this charade
is getting me nowhere
i can't shake this charade
the city's cold blood calls me home ...
home ... it's what i long for
back home ... where i belong

the city- it calls to me
decadent scenes from my memory
sorrow- eternity
my demons are coming to drown me

help- i'm falling, i'm crawling
i can't keep away from its clutch
can't have it this habit
it's calling me back to my home

the miracle :
i remember the first time she came to me
poured her soul out all night and cry ...

i remember i was told there's a new love that's born
for each one that has died ...

i never thought that i
could carry on with this lie
but i can't resist myself
no matter how hard i try

living their other life
is getting there nowhere
i'll make her my wife
her sweet temptation calls me home ...
home ... it's what i long for
my home ... where she belongs

her ecstasy- means so much to me
even deceiving my own blood
victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles
she's taking me to my home

help- he's my brother, but i love her
i can't keep away from her touch
deception, dishonor
it's calling me back to my home

nicholas :
her story- it holds the key
unlocking dreams from my memory
solving this mystery
is everything that is a part of me

help- regression, obsession
i can't keep away from its clutch
leave nodoubt, to find out
it's calling me back to my home
				

[instrumental]
				

nicholas :
it doesn't make any sense
this tragic ending
in spite of the evidence
there's something still missing

heard some of the rumors told
a taste of one's wealth
did victoria wound his soul ?
did she bid him farewell

victoria :
one last time
we'll lay down today
one last time
until we fade away
one last time
we'll lay down today
one last time
we slowy fade away


nicholas :
here i am inside his home
it holds the many clues
to my suspicions
and as i'm standing here right now
i'm finally shown what i always known

coincidence i can't believe
as my childhood dreams slowly come true

are these her memories
awakened through my eyes
this house has brought back to life

an open door
i walk on through
into his bedroom

feeling has cold as outside
the walls disapear
to some woman who's screaming
a man pleads forgiveness
his words i cannot hear
				

nicholas :
where did we come from ?
why are we here ?
where do we go when we die ?
what lies beyond
and what lay before ?
is anything certain in life ?

they say, life's too short
the here and the now
and you're only given one shot
but could there be more,
have i lived before,
or could this be all that we've got ?

if i die tomorrow
i'd be allright
because i believe
that after we're gone
the spirit carries on

i used to be frightened of dying
i used to think death was an end
but that was before
i'm not scarred anymore
i know that my soul will transcend

i may never find all the answers
i may never understand why
i may never prove
what i know to be true
but i know that i still have to try

if i die tomorrow
i'd be allright
because i believe
that after we're gone
the spirit carries on

victoria :
move on, be brave
don't weep at my grave
because i am no longer here
but please never let
your memory of me disappear


nicholas :
safe in the light that's surrounds me
free of the fear and the pain
my questioning mind
has helped me to find
the meaning in my life again
victoria's real
i finaly feel
at peace with the girl in my dreams
and now that i'm here
it's perfectly clear
i found out what all this means

if i die tomorrow
i'd be allright
because i believe
that after we're gone
the spirit carries on
				

the miracle : 
friday evening
the blood still on my hands
to think that we would leave me now
for that un greatful man

solesurvivor
no witness to the crime
i must act fast to cover up
i think that there's still time

he'd seem hopeless and lost with this note
they'll buy into the words that i wrote

this feeling inside me
finally found my love, i've finally broke free
no longer torn in two
i'd take my own life before losing you

victoria :
feeling good this friday afternoon
i ran into julian
said we'd get together soon

he always had my heart
he needs to know
i'll break free of the miracle
it's time for him to go

this feeling inside me
finally found my love, i've finally broke free
no longer torn in two
he'd kill his brother if he only knew

their love renewed
they'd rendezvous
in a pathway out of view
they thought no one knew
then came a shot out of the night


the sleeper :
one last time
we'll lay down today
one last time
until we fade away
one last time
we'll lay down today
one last time
we fade away

as their bodies lies still
and the ending draws near
spirits rise through the air
all their fear disappear, it all becomes clear
a blinding light comes into view
an old soul exchanged for a new
a familar voice comes shining through ...


nicholas :
this feeling inside me
finally found my life, i'm finally free
no longer torn in two
i learned about my life by living through you

this feeling inside me
finally found my life, i'm finally free
no longer torn in two
living my own life by learning from you

we'll meet again my friend someday soon ...
				

Let me help you, how much longer 'til you realize?
You're getting worse and it's killing you inside
I can't break through, do you have to fix this on your own?
Want to be left alone

Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
I know that it's tearing you apart
Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
Come alive

You feel I'm asking too much if you but can't let go
Fear breeds the hate and you apathy, empty and hollow
You [?], there's no getting through but shut me out
[?], can't figure it out

Sleepless words for where, staring at the ceiling
[?], intoxicative

Deafening, deafening
Shout it out, shout it out
Burning, burning
No way out, no way out

Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
I know that it's tearing you apart
Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
Come alive

Asked me to listen
Can't go on to face another day
I lied, not admitting
What I lost is still in you
Something's missing
You see darkness in my eyes
But too late, there is no sure
Playing all to stop pretending
What decides its never ending turn?

Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
				

The anger, the pressure
You're choking down your words again
Feel the nerves set in
Unspoken frustration
They see right through you
Paper thin, like the ghost within

A heart that feels no pain
Addicted to the game
Breaking beneath the strain
I am paralyzed

The stare of a stranger
Is like a wound that bleeds again
Silent as the dead
The victim, the martyr
Like Daniel in the lion's den
Time and time again

A heart that feels no pain
Addicted to the game
Breaking beneath the strain
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed

A heart that feels no pain
Addicted to the game
Relentless mental trait?
What do you stand to gain?
Viewing life through such a narrow, fractured lens
We'll ensure you end up on the losing end
Breaking beneath the string
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
I am paralyzed
