1. You Shall Be Damned
[Music: Southern Cross, Lyrics: David Lizotte]
for all you've done you should be blamed
for those nights of morbid evil dreams
terrifying and bloody scenes
a gun in hand, aimed at your temple
and ready to shoot
you are running out of time
running out of time
flesh, the angel now is crying
upon her knees and betrayed
now you're gonna pay
flair, the evil in the spotlight
while no one seems to care he may do it again
you're gonna pay
and you're running out of time
hey! What do you think you were trying to do
how the hell could you figure it out
what if you couldn't even breathe by your own
now! All I want is to shatter you down
I've been down on my knees all the way
fuck you, it's too late now, you shall be damned
you re living for something you can only behold
believing in a lie won't keep you alive
since you've been trying to steal my own dream
I can t stand all alone, you're better off dead
2. Never Dare Say
[Music: Southern Cross, Lyrics: David Lizotte]
let hope remind me one last time
as I close my eyes
all this splendour by my side
was crumbling down
I've heard a voice from behind
wiped away I was broken down
there was only one thing left to do for now
don't let me down
I don't deserve what's happening now
as the curtain falls
don't feel sorry for it all
the truth is gone in the shifting sands
torn appart he broke her down
there was only one thing left to do for now
believe me
I never tried to reach the other side
a sad victim of my stormy fate
I never thought of leaving them behind
but now I m blamed for what I
could never dare say
3. Fallen
[Music: Southern Cross, Lyrics: David Lizotte]
as time is fading, slowly running down
something upsets me, the picture has grown
those endless dreams replaying night and day
those strings playing on and on
where have they gone
and the leaves start to fall
and time is slowly drifting away
we're carried away by the fears
of those who have lost control
there's got to be much more for us
we're falling far from grace
there still remains in every waking dawn
a fading sun
with every tear that falls
with each breath we take
our sketches on the wall are no longer part of our fate
hey! You! Center of our faith
raise your hollow voice and make us take a stand
is there a way to break out
and forget the time passing by
we're carried away by the fears
of those who have lost control
4. Pale
[Music: Southern Cross, Lyrics: David Lizotte]
now I know I shouldn't have come here alone
when darkness falls right on me
down here I am on my own
bound with these chains
help me get out of this place
no, I've got no relation
no political ambition
no need to be raped
is there anything else I could do
to forget the pain that lies
inside me, within me, escaping from this madness
I'm trying, but it's not quite so easy as it seems to be
lying Harmless
lost all my faith in life
cold haze around me
crying to crawl away
I'm craving, repenting what I have sworn to myself
few minutes remaining before I catch my final breath
5. The Third Gate
[Music: Southern Cross, Lyrics: David Lizotte]
can't this be over
something's tearing me down
I never meant to leave you
but something's calling me, taking all of what I've found
will I find a way
now that I'm blinded, the light surrounds me
shivering cold is freezing my eyes
this indecision has brought me to be
a fateless betrayer, a dying fool
all the pieces of what's left behind
illusions, you're still waiting from time to time
I had to leave it all behind
and hear you one last time
now and then, the third gate remains
speechless, I am losing ground
can't no longer wait to see them smile
fearless, I return again
in another time, in another mind
I reborn again
6. The World Was Just a Dream
[Music: Southern Cross, Lyrics: David Lizotte]
it might be real
it might be what I used to believe in
every time I close my eyes
to get away from this misfortune all alone
this world was just a dream
we were living in together
this place where everything but time
was put aside, was buried in oblivion
7. By the Hands of Fate
[Music: Southern Cross, Lyrics: David Lizotte]
I wanted you to know
we came from down below, a prison for our sanity
don't let me answer
tides of time will show you all you need to know
I hear it screaming deep down inside
it holds me, behaves me
it makes me see what I can't see
it grabs my soul, enslaves me
so many years I've been holding on
so many wasted, all alone
confined to obey enemies devotion
no use to blame humanity
no use to praise divinities
I'm driven by the hand of fate
nailed to my destiny
I've lost my sense of time
fighting shadows off my mind
but they control my soul and spit on me
I can hardly remember when
the first time, my first crime
and those gods of hate
they're in my head instead of me
8. Rise Above
[Music: Southern Cross, Lyrics: David Lizotte]
the way you're breathing out
the way your godly smile shines on me
reminds me all those rainy nights
reminds me all the sorrows crying out
the mist before my eyes again
as if the pain was heading for the end
confining all my griefs and pain
restraining all the cries locked up inside
I don't mind about the prophets throwing answers
and the weaker ones who can't hear the laughter
blame it on the pouring rain
is there something above us pulling strings
a higher voice that makes them kneeling
millions of believers praying
I don't give a shit about what they think
I still believe in what I've seen
now the winds are slowly turning
time has come, revealing every wounded word
rise above A new mankind legacy
time has come for us to bleed for every war
rise above A new recovery
blood and tears are now tearing down the chosen ones
some of us can hear the whispers
of every demons every daughters
the burden in their hands
some of us pretend to live
in every single sparkle, in every dreams
some of us can feel the cries
fear the anguish of mankind
feel the pain
some of us cry out for mercy
for freedom of their innocence
new dimension of this world damnation
put an end to fear, the end is near
old perspectives, tides of darkness rising
overwhelming every eyes
