We tried, we fought, we lost We cried, we saw it fall We lost this game to forgiving needs Carve the wound until it bleeds You're keeping your distance, you're pushing me away You've never let me say the words I want to say Our time here has withered O...

Brought into this world Met by open arms See, I was born as a hero But deep inside this kingdom I know that that's untrue Given too many reasons Lost my faith in you Civitas Civitas Diablo On and on we rise we fall This king is crowned by errors...

My faith in you has always been there I thought my trust in you would always last but since you've deceived me now that has to change I'm on a mission built on vengeance and I'll never forget the past - Here I stand I see your name carved in sto...

A bursting hull This ship torn asunder Remote hearts now too distant To survive another year in slumber Gusts of wind fills my sails I cast off into the twilight red New winds offer strength But I might rest on the ocean bed Our heaven's dead A sile...

In a garden of sorrow Among the mourning of souls A silent whisper you must walk alone Even though my tears tells me not to I must walk alone I seek shelter Cause I am hiding As light is our darkness We seek the day But when the shade of the night comes It ch...

This is not for me I can’t persist or breathe that which poisons me My angels are falling and I lie bare Felled by the arrows of a different calling Urging me to look, look the other way Faith’s amiss and I’m astray This was never meant for me so why wou...

Here we are once again. Time to choose at the crossroads end. Here we are stuck again. Time to speak or to forever be silent. It comes to a point where I can't take another lie. The day has finally come. Where I demand your silence. Comes to a p...

Do you ever think it's over? That we already lost We'll never be convinced to change Do you ever feel it's over? We are the ones with too fast beating hearts The ones who won't say that we are lost But we have been fighting for much too long We're gett...

The wolves carries my name In their midnight speeches And that quiet subtle voice Is summoning me from afar And a voice much closer Screams to me with unholy impatience And the weight of your soul Will decide it's final resting place As light is our darkness...

From loss into your embrace I fled the fear and the dark of day Like an angel of fallen grace My broken wings can't hold my weight I came so close that I felt the flames I came so close that I'll never be safe again I'd give anything to find a way to leave the...

Never been so unsure. Never felt so torn. In a way, I've been blind. Should have seen, should have known. The shallow myths of you. Can't believe I put my trust in you. Can't believe I opened up for you. In a way, I've been blind. Lost my words, lost...

Make me see through eyes Of a different soul Cause mine are closed and sealed Since long before To seek and hopefully find Find my own voice To sail beyond the sunset And strand on solid ground I must to maintain My now so weak belief May it grow or else The d...

So is this it? Does time end here? Is this what I fought for, and what I've gained? What a fool I have been Think life had more to offer Is that I lie here, in remorse and suffer And I hate you for doing this And I hate you for saying that I never d...

I watched the water rise But turned my head and closed my eyes Hoped the threat would go away So it all would stay the same Wished the tidal waves would die So that I could defend whys That rescued me from drowning in our lies Come Come save me from t...

All is gone And my soul screams sorrow All is lost As I shiver for tomorrow Tomorrow I want to see this sorrow end I want to feel joy again The demons inside are here to stay And life as know it fades away Will the wounds in me never heal The scare...

Twilight Still not dark The snow on the ground sheds some light A silhouette not taller than a child Appears in the doorway Too strange to be real yet too real to be a dream Immense fear grabs a hold of me I'm paralysed numb and naked Branches passes m...

Feel free to question me Let out the hate you feel Blame all your doubts on me And your caving reality I will not judge, I cannot judge So feel free to question me I would hold you when you're sleeping I would guide you when you're drifting I'd be the...

I recall when the bright light descends Something takes possession over me I remember when the nightmares began On that cold night of December 26th I don't know what it is but I lost all control Can't you see I'm condemned by the past that They close in my hi...

The tide made it easier And time made us reasonable The currents no longer deceivers We were the reasons for us losing ground We were the reasons for why the lights went out We were the reasons for the years we had And we were the reasons to why it end...

The silence awakes me My heartbeat would so easily reveal me Who am I what is left is it my mind That constantly deceives me I am beginning to doubt me If what I feel and see is real It seems as if I exist in different worlds There is one in dar...

Gone She’s gone How am I supposed to make it alone? Don’t leave this Don’t leave me I’ll disconnect Before it takes me over I undress and fall Wish to leave it all I disconnect Before it takes me over Is this, if this is all I have now Then I, th...

Adrift, the sleep made us liars It kept us close and Convinced us we'd be fine when The summer never came back and Winter took time to pass A newfound dawn, a newborn wind And winter left before the welcomed spring Through years of resistance Where I...

I've tried it all It's gone too far And the worst of all Is the promise that I can't keep I have emptied every source I have learned all there is to know To stand by as you wither To watch your spirit drain I just wish hope could last forever Last f...

Was your wish that I hadn't seen you When they came to take you away? Was your wish that I would believe you To make you stop and make you stay? Did you think that I'd never leave you? That I'd be there from dusk till day? Did you think that I'd always save yo...

In a moment of clarity It all became crystal And now I try to find someone to heal me I'm broken Through the mist in a dream where I show you Through the rain and the dark that holds you Heal me, I'm broken Time to discover what lies hidden in t...

I have forsaken you and all I ever felt was true To take that step and fall to aim beyond these walls With hope that the stars align to get a glimpse of my goal defined I stare the eyes of my biggest fear Swallow pride I'll persevere I fear my heart Fear my s...

Stranded on a shore of no light The waves brings me sorrow and with a vision of past in my mind All I crave is to see you back in life I call your name But you wont hear me I seek your eyes but they wont see And when I reach for your hands I realise I can't f...

Fragments of the past flash before my eyes Never ending streams of images colliding Silhouettes of memories slowly fading away Illusionary seductions haunts me in my dreams Fighting for freedom But the chains I'm in won't break It will soon be too late...

I've read your words I understand it's said it's done I walk away in fear of what you said that I've become Can't change your words now they are stains made to stay Won't be erased I've read your words I understand it's said it's done I walk away in fe...

Everything is built from change All the things we recreate Fallen - lost - forsaken faith The unspoken made us frozen If we took time to contemplate The loss that made me frozen Reaching out with dying hope to still be seen Longing to belong We're fr...

Remind me of what you said life had made you do. What did you do to make all you had fall through? What forces you to make the choices that you do? Are we to blame for all the failures that are you? Or should we blame you? Should we blame you? I should...

I paint all black and step in among the shadows The feelings of emptiness devours me quickly And I know I never asked But I need you to help me Release me from darkness Release me from all that chains me here I'm drowning in silence And I'm drowning al...

Was it just a phase Was it all a lie Your first mistake Have I been blind When words mean nothing lack value and weight All we have is nothing what does nothing weigh Lost my will to see it clear Lost my sense of clarity I'm standing in ruins and wa...

I'm caught here in this vacuum. I'm fallen from a sunless sky. I've red myself from value. And leave this emptiness behind. So I run, before it's over. I run, but still I belive, it seems. I run, but not getting closer. I run, to get away from this dream. (F...

When did the walls grow this tall And the darkness begin to fall? When did I lose the sense of control? How much can I overcome? And I'm lying here I'm tired, I'm worn It comes from within It's taking me over It's making me weak Brought my doubts to...

We've crowned a king with no soul When all doors are closed, we walk alone We know you've seen us, you always did And every time you close your eyes You make us fade Don't you ever wonder if we sleep at night? If we sit in silence, you think you're right...

Speak to me I can't hear when your words not spoken Where's your belief to me The one that could never be broken I'll take your burdens and sorrows And I'll rise if I can It's your silence that makes me so hollow We should leave it behind us Cause we're lost...
