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
				

there, there it is
i swear he's gonna murder that poor kid
wait, i hear it again
don't turn on the lights until we
hear the way it ends

under peruvian skies
vanessa regretfully waits
the story unfolds in her eyes
where midnight hysteria's
no big surprise
battered and bruised
always confusing
the love that she's losing for hate
poor vanessa
poor, poor vanessa

hey, i hope you know
i'm taking all of this with me when i go
shame, you're not to blame
i'm the monster you created
in your daddy's name

under peruvian skies
vanessa regretfully waits
the story unfolds in her eyes
where midnight hysteria's
no big surprise
battered and bruised
always confusing
the love that she's losing for hate
poor vanessa
poor vanessa

terror by night
liar by day
telling her secrets
won't take them away

under peruvian skies
vanessa regretfully waits
the story unfolds in her eyes
where midnight hysteria's
no big surprise
battered and bruised
always confusing
the love that she's losing for hate
				

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
				

[instrumental]
				

daybreak
at the bottom of lake
it's a hundred degree's i can't breeth
and i won't get out
'til i figure it out
thought i'm weak like i can't believe
so you tell me "trust me" i can't trust you
just let me show you
but i gotta work it out in a shadow of doubt
'cause i don't know if i know you
doing fine but i don't waste my time
tell me what it is you want to say
you sin, you win, just let me in - hurry
i've been out in the rain all day
so you tell me "trust me" i can't trust you
as far as i can throw you
and i'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt
'cause i don't know if i know you
don't tell me you wanted me
don't tell me you thought of me
i won't, i sware i won't
(did)
i'll try, i sware i'll try
(lie)
mother mary quite contrary
kiss the boys and makes then wary
things are getting just a little bit scary
it's awonder i can still breathe
never been much of a doubting thomas
but nothing breaks like a broken promise
you tell me 'bout your two more coming
but once is just enough for me
i had gotten used to being a soul destroyed
she comes in apparently to fill the void
all dogs need a leash and at least i forgot it
and she would never hurt me though she's never said it
but i'm gonna ask her today
i din't wanna scare her away
your town, i'm all alone
and i just can't stare at the phone
i wanna talk about lifelong mistakes
and you can tell your stepfather i said so
				

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
				

don't
tell me what's in
tell me how to write
don't tell me how to win
this fight

isn't your life
it isn't your right
to take the only thing that's
mine

proven over time
it's over your head
don't try to read between the
lines
are clearly defined
never lose sight of
something you believe in

takin' in the view from
the outside
feeling like the underdog
watching through the
window i'm on the outside
living like an underdog

i've been trying
to justify you
in the end
i will just dely you

to those who understand
i extend my hand
to the doubtful i demand
take me as i am

i've been wasting my breath
on you
open minds will descend
uopn you

to those who understand
i extend my hand
to the doubtful i demand
take me as i am

not under your command
i know where i stand
i won't change to fit your plans
take me as i am

to those who understand
i extend my hand
to the doubtful i demand
take me as i am

not under your command
i know where i stand
i won't change to fit your plans
take me as i am
