2. With These Words
Wake up, you are here with me
In my dream.
Upon a mountain of uncertainty.
I will fly to the bottom of my soul.
My heart torn, between two worlds.
NO!!!!!
I will not deceive the good in my own memory.
Some may say, the life I live is wrong.
And if so, he without sin cast the first stone.
Put your hands together.
Bow your head, and ask forgiveness.
With these words, I save my soul
(With these words...)
In the end, the truth shall be known.
The truth shall be known...
My body burns with faith.
My soul, a counter clockwise spin.
With these hands, I’ll carve my future
To the blueprints of self-righteous man.
No I will not deceive, the good in my memory
No I will not deceive, the good in my memory
Put your hands together.
Bow your head, and ask forgiveness.
With these words, I save my soul
(With these words...)
In the end, the truth shall be known.
(Instrumental)
(Solo)
Wasted years and wasted time,
The philosophy not just mine.
Put your hands together.
Bow your head, and ask forgiveness.
With these words, I save my soul
(With these words...)
In the end, the truth shall be known
Put your hands together.
Bow your head, and ask forgiveness.
With these words, I save my soul
(With these words...)
In the end, the truth shall be known
No I will not deceive, the good in my own memory
No I will not deceive, the good in my own memory.
3. My Best to Be...
Bleed,
For a sea of change is overflowing.
I’ve bled this all my life.
Pretending you would tell me,
And maybe...
Show me, and tell me the truth.
Bestow what is real, are you real?
All my life I was taught to analyze.
My changes from deep within,
Are you within?
Tell me lies; tell me a story of sacrifice,
The day you gave your life.
Take, this my son,
You don’t have to fight
This battle anymore.
No more nightmares.
And who are you to tell me, that
I am wrong.
When all I have done, is do
My best to be...
A good man.
Why oh why? Must I pay such a price?
While my heart belongs.
See through my soul; touch the tears from my eyes.
And taste if you will,
Taste my desire.
The blood flows just as yours,
Just a slightly different direction.
All my life I was taught to analyze.
The changes from deep within,
Are you within?
Tell me lies; tell me a story of sacrifice,
The day you gave your life.
Take, this my son,
You don’t have to
Fight this battle anymore.
No nightmares.
And who are you to tell me, that
I am wrong.
When all I have done, is do
My best to be...
A good man.
Please save my soul...
And my life.
(Acoustic Solo)
(Instrumental)
(Guitar Solo)
In a repetitious life,
We follow like sheep.
Sometimes, with an aimless objective.
All this time I’ve tried to make
All happy in my life,
Now it’s time for me, it’s time for me...
Take, this my son,
You don’t have to
Fight this battle anymore.
No more nightmares.
And who are you to tell me, that
I am wrong.
When all I have done, is do
My best to be...
And who are you to tell me, that
I am wrong.
When all I have done, is do
My best to be...
A good man.
4. A Toast to Mankind
Release the hand on all man my holy father.
So the world shall know.
That you are here to strike the hour.
Did you call?
I thought I heard you calling.
In rhythm with my pulse, a frantic pulse.
A pulse of fear, a pulse that lives inside each.
Oh yes indeed, these shallow walls.
Can never hide you, from the deepest part of your soul.
So now, I’m some sort of criminal,
The one created in your mind.
So now I’m labeled a pessimist
But if the truth hurts, then you’re blind.
Bring me the finest wine we have
And let’s give a toast to all mankind.
Some may fall, then others rise.
Each with an answer.
Bureaucracy at its best, the final answer
Yeah...now.
Beset with words, incredulous stares.
A man of honor I defend.
Some may fall, then others rise.
Each with an answer.
Bureaucracy at its best, the final answer
So now, I’m some sort of criminal,
The one created in your mind.
So now I’m labeled a pessimist
But if the truth hurts, then you’re blind.
Bring me the finest wine we have
And let’s give a toast to all mankind.
(Instrumental)
(Guitar Solo)
(Keyboard Solo)
You have the answers,
I have the questions.
Please tell me all I need to know.
I only want the truth.
You are the one who denies and the one who will take my share.
You inflict crippling thoughts,
To be shrew the life that I have.
So now I’m labeled a pessimist
But if the truth hurts, then you’re blind.
Bring me the finest wine we have
And let’s give a toast to all mankind.
5. As Winter Falls
As darkness falls upon,
I can see ahead.
The snow falls from a blackened sky.
As winter falls...
Watching the clouds drift away slowly,
Awaiting the coldest point of night.
I’ll do my best to
Warm my bones by the fire.
Listen to the howl of the wind
Getting stronger and stronger.
My life, I’ll sacrifice.
Is it worth to feel this way?
My life is growing stronger.
My life, I’ll sacrifice.
Is it worth to feel this way?
My life is growing stronger.
As Winter Falls, it falls,
As Winter Falls
My life is for no one...
Let me come along,
I’ll be there ‘till the end.
Let me come along,
I’ll follow ‘till the end.
Please oh Please....
No, don’t walk away,
And leave me where I stand.
Erosion taking place with every gust of wind to hit my face,
A part of my soul,
Released from body...no
Just let me go.
My life, I’ll sacrifice.
Is it worth to feel this way?
My life is growing stronger.
My life, I’ll sacrifice.
Is it worth to feel this way?
My life is growing stronger.
As Winter Falls, it falls,
As Winter Falls
(Instrumental)
(Keys Solo)
(Guitar Solo)
Listen to the sound of
My heart pounding.
Adrenaline intensifies,
With every second passing.
Why should I be so ashamed?
To ask for mercy...
Show the light I’ll find the way,
I’ll find the way.
My life is for no one else, except for me and my God.
6. The Calm Before the Storm (Instrumental)
7. In the End
Take a good look now in my eyes.
You see the blasphemy,
Like you’ve never seen it before.
I know now if you tried,
You might not understand,
You might not...
You might not understand me...No!!!
Now that you’ve seen what’s in my eyes,
The world is calling you.
You think it’s all in your head.
Look and seek, you’ll find some sort of Happiness entombed by fear.
I could never dig that far.
I try with all my might.
Listen to me,
Millions died for this word...
“Amen”
I cannot die in here, please don’t let me Die alone...that’s my biggest fear.
The World is not dieing,
Another man’s trying to prove to
All man that this cannot happen Again...no
So many turned faces
From all human races deny what they Might, it all comes back
In the end...yeah!!!
Seek your sacrifice and
Hold it to the sky.
Take some bad advise and
Crush it to the ground.
Seek your sacrifice and
You shall never die.
Millions died for this word...
“Amen”
I cannot die in here, please don’t let me die alone...that’s my biggest fear.
The World is not dieing,
Another man’s trying to prove to
All man that this cannot happen Again...no
So many turned faces
From all human races deny what they Might, it all comes back
In the end
(Guitar Solo)
Through my own personal sacrifice,
Throughout all these years...I give.
Here is my soul.
Don’t bring your faith on me,
Like you always do.
Don’t try to change my way of life.
You will always fail miserably.
Millions died for their faith.
“Amen”
I cannot die in here, please don’t let me die alone...’cause that’s my biggest fear.
The World is not dieing,
Another man’s trying to prove to
All man, that this cannot happen Again...no
So many turned faces,
From all human races deny what they Might, it all comes back
In the end...(Please don’t leave me here)
(Instrumental)
Take the world into your hands,
Your body still, the mind in trance.
Feel the warmth within your soul.
This is where no one else can go.
8. Only a Dream
Things I’ve seen, the life that I lived
Down that road, so long ago.
When life was a simple lesson,
A passionate seed to grow.
So now I grow to realize the dreams inside are tainted and affray...
They will never go away.
The dreams I have at night.
They seem to fill the air.
I’m running down the street but I
Can’t seem to find my friends.
So now I grow to realize the dreams inside are tainted and affray...
They will never go away.
Why should it be so hard?
To remember the way it was.
For now, I’ll just live and dream
This lie, till I die...I’ll ask why.
(Guitar Solo)
They will never go away.
Seems that I could never find,
Now that I am torn...
So now I grow to realize the dreams inside are tainted and affray...
They will never go away.
For now, I’ll just live and dream
This lie I am.
9. Rooms of Anguish
Take my hand; I’ll guide the way.
I’ll guide the way
Step by step, and side by side,
We walk together, we walk together...
Don’t be afraid.
Slowly I push open the door.
A beautiful blue sky,
An ocean so calm
The brightest sun I’ve ever seen
My vision abstracted by the water’s reflection.
Then suddenly a man appears
Along the horizon.
Then a voice said, “With all your fears and
Questions set aside.”
Then a voice said, “I cry these tears so you won’t have to hide.
No matter where you are, I’m always here for you.”
Then I noticed the man walking on water,
His face so pure, his eyes so deep.
With a smile, he reached out his hand to me.
Apprehensive, I put my hand to him.
Such gentle hands, my blood pressure dropped.
Then I found myself standing on water.
Welcome, now you’re in my Rooms of Anguish.
It feels like make believe,
That I can’t ever find it,
The peace I’ve sought for years.
Has it happened to you, or is it just me.
Sometimes it tears me apart.
It brings me to my knees; it brings me to my knees,
Don’t be afraid, I am always here.
I will never leave your side.
Take my hand you will never die.
Believe me…
In all my dreams, I never thought that
I would ever question celestial mind.
But now that’s where I stand.
Decipher my words, and take from them what you will.
Welcome, now you’re in my Rooms of Anguish.
It feels like make believe,
That I can’t ever find it,
The peace I’ve sought for years.
Has it happened to you, or is it just me.
Sometimes it tears me apart.
It brings me to my knees; it brings me to my knees.
Friends, some say, I understand…
(So why do you do this)
I’m the only one who knows,
So why does it even matter to you.
Is this one the only one?
From which the pain has started.
We will find the truth together.
Feel deep, inside your soul,
Feel deep, inside me…find.
Now as we all understand,
The reasons behind all the fears we hide.
Tell me, tell me they say...
It’s just so hard; it’s just so hard,
It’s just so damn hard….
(Instrumental)
(Solo)
Then a voice said, “With all your fears and
Questions set aside.”
Then a voice said, “I cry these tears so you don’t have to hide.
No matter where you are,
I’m always here for you.”
Across the sea, and on all land
Just follow your heart,
And be the man that you’ll be
And let no one tell you differently.
With all my heart I trust faithfully.
Welcome, now you’re in my Rooms of Anguish.
It feels like make believe,
That I can’t ever find it,
This peace I’ve sought for years.
Has it happened to you, or is it just me.
Sometimes it tears me apart.
It brings me to my knees; it brings me to my knees.
