1. The Storm
I CAN FEEL..
THE WIND BLOW RIGHT THROUGH ME
I CAN FEEL IT PUSH ME DOWN
I CAN FEEL..
THE STORM BREW WITHIN ME
I CAN FEEL IT DRAG ME DOWN...
BUT I
I...
DONT WANT TO FEEL..
ANYTHING.
ANYMORE.
2. Stained
EVERY NIGHT I LIE AWAKE
AND STARE INSIDE MY SOUL
SOMETIMES I THINK THERES NOTHING THERE
JUST EMPTINESS AND COLD.
AND I LOOK TO THE HEAVENS
AND I SEE
THERES NOTHING THERE THAT CAN SAVE ME
I LOOK TO MYSELF
FOR THE ANSWERS I NEED TO SURVIVE
I LOOK AT MY HANDS
SEE THE BLOOD THAT IS DRIPPING
FROM THE SINS OF MY YOUTH
NO REPENTANCE CAN SAVE ME FROM MYSELF
I CAN FEEL THEM LOOKING AT ME
I CAN FEEL THEIR EYES.
I FEEL THEM STARE INTO ME
WITH BITTER SIGHT
ITS IN THEIR EYES...
3. Shields
I LOCK MY DOOR
SO THAT NOTHING IS STOLEN
MY HANDS CLENCH TO FISTS
SO THAT YOU CANNOT HOLD THEM
ANAESTHETISED
SO THAT MY LIFE STAYS PAINLESS
I KILLED MY SOUL
SO THAT NO GOD COULD CLAIM IT.
IN BROKEN LINES WALK SO BLIND
INTO SHADOWS
..A SMILE, UNDEFINED..
OR IS THAT A GRIMACE OF PAIN?
I KNOW THE TRUTH,
BUT I CANT BELIEVE IT.
i LEARNED IN MY YOUTH
THAT POWER GROWS FROM HATRED.
INVULNERABLE.
SO MISERABLE.
AN AURA OF COLD
PROTECTS ME FROM KINDNESS
I CHOKE OUT THE SUN
TO SAVE MYSELF FROM BLINDNESS
A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY
MY MISERY IT GROWS AS TIME MOVES ON
THRIVE IN DARKNESS..
KILLING EVERYTHING THAT BRINGS ME HOPE.
I WILL BE FREE. FROM ALL OF YOU.
IN MY MISERY. NO STRANGER TO GRIEF.
I WILL BE FREE.
FROM ALL OF YOU.
IN THIS MISERY
NOTHING IS REAL.
BRING ALL YOUR FIRES
BRING OF YOUR PAIN.
I AM INVULNERABLE...I AM INSANE.
BRING ALL YOUR FIRES, PAIN I CANT FEEL.
I AM INVULNERABLE I WEAR MY SHIELDS.
NOTHING .. CAN TOUCH ME.
4. The Ballad of Twhytt Mhyrrhynn
5. Lariat
I WAS ALONE. I WAS AT PEACE.
FREE RO BE WRONG. FREE TO BE ME.
THEN THEY TOOK ME AWAY.
REMOVED FROM SOLITUDE.
TO A WORLD THAT'S SO UNTRUE.
SO FAR FROM HOME, STILL...SO ALONE.
REMEBERANCE....
LONGING FOR THE WORLD I ONCE KNEW.
IN SADNESS..
RECOGNISE THE TRUTH I SEE IN YOU.
BUT THEY TOOK ME AWAY...
FREEDOM FROM PAIN. (TEAR DOWN)
THE WALLS INSIDE YOUR BRAIN.
ILLUMINATE THE LIES
WITH THE LIGHT OF THE INSANE.
THE FALLACY OF LIFE
IT BURNS INSIDE MY SOUL
THIS WORLD..KNOWS NOT OF ME...
JUST AS I...KNOW NOT THIS WORLD..
I WANT TO DWELL FOREVER IN THE BLISS..
OF MY IGNORANCE.
MY LONELINESS - MY HAPPINESS..
...BUT I CANT RETURN TO MY WORLD..
SO I WILL RETURN MY WORLD TO ME
I WILL RETURN MY WORLD
INTO MY OWN, SWEET, OBLIVION.
6. Fallen
IN THE LIGHT I SEE YOUR EYES
STARING INTO ME AND I FEEL SO WEAK..
IN THIS TOMB OF PURITY.
YOU SPEAK TO ME, AS AN ANGEL SPEAKING.
IM SO WEAK.
IM SO FUCKING WEAK, I DIE...
FALLEN DOWN..OVER YOU.
THE LIGHT THAT BURNS IN YOU.
IM FALLEN.
7. Hellgypsy
HERE I SIT UPON MY BLEEDING THRONE
YOU TAPERED ALL REACTION FROM MY SPINE
SEVERED ALL MY ANGELS FROM ME
TOOK AWAY THE DEATH; WAS TO BE MINE.
FLUTTERING INTO MY DREAMS
MY GHOST, SHE COMES TO DANCE WITH ME
SO INNOCENT AND SWEET AND DEAD
AS SHE FLIES ABOVE MY HEAD.
I WONDER HOW SHE DIED, SO LOW?
DID HAPPINESS IT LEAVE HER TOO?
SKIN SO WHITE HER EYES SO BARE
A SOUL SO GREY IT CANT BE THERE.
HAVE YOU COME TO HAUNT ME?
OR DID YOU COME.. TO WARN ME?
..OR DO MIRACLES THEY HAVE NO MEANING?
HARK ! MY FERAL ANGEL SINGS!!!
A BURNING SOUL ON BURNING WINGS
A TORCH, TO LIGHT MY WAY BACK HOME
WE FLY UNCONSCIOUS, WE FLY NUMB
SHE SELLS BOMBSHELLS ON THE SEASHORE
(AS) HER NATIONS FLAG LIES...
..BURNING AND SORE.
THE MIRROR SMILES SO INNOCENTLY
IT SEES RIGHT THROUGH ME..
SEES INSIDE OF ME..
BUT MY BROKEN WINGS ARE SLOWLY HEALING
MIRACLES THEY HAVE NO MEANING
MIRACLES THEY HAVE NO FEELINGS
MIRACLES ARE NUMB...LIKE ME.
8. Ink
WRINGING OUT MY BLOODIED SOUL
TO FEEL ANOTHER DAY
SHALLOWNESS IS BUT A MASK
EROSION BRINGS SUCH SHAME
WIPE CLEAN THE SLATE OF BITTERNESS
WIPE IT CLEAN.
INTERNAL WOUNDS WITHOUT RELEASE
INSTRUCT ME TO CREATE
PAINTING OUT MY PAIN
IN STORM-RIDDEN BRUSHSTROKES
WITH THE POISONED INK OF GUILT
I PAINT YOUR FACE
..AND THOSE OF OTHERS LIKE YOU
CLEANSE MY SOUL
ALLEVIATE MY PAIN.
SALT MY WOUNDS IN OPEN AIR
EXPOSURE IS SO PAINFUL
AT LEAST RELEASE IS BETTER THAN
INTERNAL DEGRADATION.
IMAGES SO BEAUTIFUL
..BORN OF PAIN SO TERRIBLE.
