1. In the Midnight Hour
A mask of sad rebelion
In defiance raised
To the heavens above
The streangth that wasn't there
A heart bound for cruelty
An all Consuming agony
There could be no tomorow
When yesterday was despair
The glimmer of a dying star
In beauty in itself
How tragic it may seem
Cleanse the soul from pain
Gateway to oblivion
All bitter seasons fade
There could be no tomorow
When yesterday was despair
In the wishing hours late
Nothing ever changed
2. Soulcaptive
The sky cracks open
To release the pouring rain
The day comes to an end
All dreams are thrown away
This bitter test of time
The darkest shades of light
The rivers of the heart
Run in the blackest streams
An empty world
Seasons pass on by
The broken soul
Cruel fates grasp
Times of grace
Are all but gone
An ever grinning mask
The depths of chaos forged
(Upon) a throne of agony
Sad wings spread for flight
And all the stars do fade
Dying embers in the rain
The rivers of the heart
Will run in blackest streams
A tragic journey in silent halls
When my eyes are closed I am ever lost
I have waited for sun to rise
For the light that never came
3. The Dark Within
Bleak morning light
Upon fields of ruin
No ecape from the pain inside
A silent cry
That no one hears
Crushed 'neath the shadows of a burden vast
There's no escape
Nowhere to turn
The water dark
Will swallow you
Away from all
A distant dream
Too late to hold on anymore
Behind closed eyes
The fire dies
Endless torment held by silent walls
The rays of light
Cannot shield you
From the dark within
Scars run deep
No time can heal
What has been torn
We grasp for hope
Awakening from this nightveiled existence
That we might find peace
And the will to carry on
4. Scars
Look deep into me
Tell me what you see
A broken image
A cold empty shell
This world brings me down
I'm on my knees
A choking grip so tight
I fear the night descends
How deep the river of fate
In the silence of the hours late
I saw my other self
A smile carved in his face
Reminding me of days long gone
Things would never be the same
And time passed on and on
Brought little hope
The grief that clasps my very soul
Once held there's no return
Look deep into me
See what I've become
A pale reflection
Of what I used to be
The days which linger ever on
They all seem the same
The grief that clasps my very soul
Once held there's no return
5. Shades of Grey
There are times I fail to see the beauty
Times I fall whit no sence of direction
In this masquerade of cold deception
The secrets of heart
I keep my scars concealed
I can't find mny way through this
All fires burn out of in the end
Long lost passion,endless seems the fall
Sometimes I fall without ever getting up
Sometimes I never even care
But now I'm closer than ever before
Without means to silence the pain
All fires burn out of in the end
Long lost passion,endless seems the fall
Ever silent in a lifetime of regret
The sun was never for my eyes
But I hope for forgiveness
Though I know it's not really yours to give
And as the hours slip away
Like a thief in the dark of night
I may fall deeper to the foul embrace
Of fate,the final flight
6. Remnants of a Dying Sun
There is a shade of gry covering me
And I know well I'm all alone
So please remember
I've learned to suffer
On a lonely path destined to crack
The last remnants of a dying sun
From which a silent cry echoes still
I breathe the agony under a clouded sky
The pain inside only grows whit time
Sleepless clinging on to what's been lost
And I know there is no turning back from here
7. Well of Broken Wishes
The emtiness in me
A wish is not enough
When words have all been said
When truth has sealed my fate
And the distant memories
Of a time so faraway
Of careless days ahead
The youth that knew no plague
Somehow I lost control
Somewhere along the road
I wish there was a way
To turn back time
Well of broken wishes
Know to some as life
The heart lost in darkness
Repels the light of day
8. Silent Fall
What do you see when your eyes are closed
What do you feel deep down inside
Why do you try to understand your pain
Why do you always walk away
Descend into the darkling seas
Your silent fall
What do you see when your eyes are closed
What do you feel deep down inside
Why do you try to understand your pain
Why do you always walk away
Descend into the darkling seas
Your silent fall
Leave behind the memories
Closed your eyes one last time
You've tread this path so many times
Tried to forget but hurt was always there
Tried to comprehend the nature of your soul
Tried to understand why you were left alone
9. Disconnected
I'm astray somehow
Lose myself to an inner pain
The chaos fed waves of sanity
Slam the door shut again
Can you really see me
As I slowly pass on by
Do you think you hear me
Spoken words I don't recall
The distant ways of life...
Drawing closer to the grief inside
I plunge deeper every day
All I wish for peace of mind
The reason why I cannot stay
Leaving it all behind
I've tried to find a way
Disperse the shadows in my mind
And All these times I did fail
Too blind to see it now
Cold fingers around my neck
So tight I grasp for air
To escape the sleepless nights
There's a price to pay
10. Words Mean Nothing
Somehow I knew what lay ahead
Different shades but all the same
Words mean nothing in the end
The things you feel,the things you say
Eyes may open but cannot see
Torn open to a bleak reality
The silent waves of a pitch black sea
Laying waste the last of me
All the wounds of the tortured heart
All the whispers of the silent cry
All time has gone,(it) won't come again
All wings severed,I know I've failed
They can't see it
Don't know it's there
To bring me to my knees
