Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
[Chorus]
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
[chorus]
Return to me
Leave me no one
Turn to me
Return to me
Cast aside
You've made me turn away
[chorus]
Bold motherfucker
Don't limit your mind
Can't you see that the pace
Has fallen behind
All the hate in your heart
Will be leaving you blind
So bold motherfucker
Don't you limit your mind
This time
Waiting, for your modern messiah
To take away all the hatred
That darkens the light in your eye
Still awaiting. I
"Out of Zion shall come forth a law
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem
Nation shall not raise sword against nation
And they shall not learn war anymore
For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken"
Waiting, for your modern messiah
To take away all the hatred
That darkens the light in your eye
Still awaiting.
Feed on nothing
You'll never live up to me
Awaken you
With a little evil inside
Feed on your nothing
You'll never live up to me
I've stricken you
Feed on your nothing
And you'll never live up to me
There isn't a thing that I can do
Watching the whole thing just wash away
Making me long
Making you strong
Awaken you
With a little evil inside
Feed on your nothing
You'll never live up to me
I've stricken you
Feed on your nothing
And you'll never live up to me
Penance can't absolve your sin
All your belief
Cannot absolve your sin
Believe, when you lie
You will never need to recognize the source
Of deceit
To renew your faith in God
You must believe, in your lie
The redemption is complete when you conceive
And decline
To release your lives
Sacrificed to me
Penance can't absolve your sin
All your belief
Cannot absolve your sin
Reap your life, like you want to
recognize, all you've come to
Reap your life
Veiled in shadow
Recognize
Faces of the crucified
I can hear their screams tonight
Ever haunting me
Burn your lie into me
Penance can't absolve your sin
All your belief
Cannot absolve your sin
Holding on, to let them know
What's given to me
To hide behind
The mask this time
And try to believe
Blind your eyes to what you see
You can't embrace it
Leave it well enough alone
And don't remember
Cut your pride and watch it bleed
You can't deny it
Pain you know you can't ignore
I don't remember
Holding on, to let them know
What's given to me
To hide behind
The mask this time
And try to believe
Blind your eyes to what you see
You can't embrace it
Leave it well enough alone
And don't remember
Cut your pride and watch it bleed
You can't deny it
Pain you know you can't ignore
I don't remember
If I can
Remember
To know this will
Conquer me
If I can
Just walk alone
And try to escape
Into me
What can you take from me
That which you cannot buy
Exhileration
Laughing and turning away
What will you take from me
Now that you are inside
Intoxication
Now are you feeling
Enough, to villify what I love
To sanctify all I hate
Endowed with the need
To carry over the life I lead
Intoxicating
Do you really think I covet like you do
Come, take me away
Remove the fear from my eyes
Feel the flame of my heart
Burning away
All conversation tonight
Hearing no one
Am I precious to you now
Now rise
Turn away
From the shame of your life
Feel the light from my eyes
Offering
Consolation tonight
Fearing no one
Do you really think I covet like you do
Come, take me away
Remove the fear from my eyes
Feel the flame of my heart
Burning away
All conversation tonight
Hearing no one
Now, I cannot stop this
Pure emotion
Falling from my eyes
You are vindicating
Liberating
Saviors of my soul
Stand on the brink of my own demise
Fallen again for another
Mistress of burden
To idolize
Hoping that one of them will decide
To let me in
To stand on the edge of the knife
Cutting through the nightmare from which
I just cannot awaken
Stand on the edge of the night
Living inside a moment
From which I will never awaken
Stand on the brink of my own demise
Fallen again for another
Mistress of burden
To idolize
Hoping that one of them will decide
To let me in
Look at what you've done to me
You've become my enemy
Poisoning the world for me
Take away my everything
Weakened as I am
Stand on the brink of my own demise
Fallen again for another
Mistress of burden
To idolize
Hoping that one of them will decide
To let me in
From the heart of darkness
You call to me
Spirit racing on
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one
You will release your life
Joining with the goddamned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
You will begin to cry
Hearing the silence breaking
You breathe, alive
But you are alone again
From the heart of darkness
You call to me
Spirit racing on
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one
You will release your life
Joining with the goddamned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
You will release your life
forgetting what's forsaken
You breathe, alive
You are alone again
You will release your life
Joining with the goddamned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
Nothing I can do
Darkness cover me
I'm not ready to die, girl
Because of what you don't tell me
I'm not ready to walk inside of where you're taking me
I'm not ready to die, girl
Because of what you don't tell me
I'm not willing to compromise the man I want to be
Think you're a little bit closer
To changing me
You're never winning me over
You're wasting time
Leave me be
I'm not ready to die, girl
Because of what you don't tell me
I'm never going to vow the line of your conformity
I'm not ready to die, girl
Because of what you don't tell me
I'm not ready to leave the realm of anonymity
Think you're a little bit closer
To changing me
You're never winning me over
You're wasting time
Get away from me
Think you're a little bit closer
To changing me
You're never winning me over
You're wasting time
I will devour you
Take all the pain away
I cannot stay my hand
From reaching out so that I can
Empower you
For all eternity
It seems to ease my mind
To know that you've brought
Meaning to my life
Had enough
Although I see you're not running
Still are the thoughts running through your mind
Dead to love
The path that you are now taking
Show me the reason to make you mine
I will devour you
Take all the pain away
I cannot stay my hand
From reaching out so that I can
Empower you
For all eternity
It seems to ease my mind
To know that you've brought
Meaning to my life
Run, to where the smallest ray of light will never find you
Run, to where you will not need to shield your eyes
Run, away from all the soulless, heartless fiends who hound you
Run, away and let your memories go blind, when I
Will devour you
Take all the pain away
I cannot stay my hand
From reaching out so that I can
Empower you
For all eternity
It seems to ease my mind
To know that you've brought
Meaning to my life
Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own
Carry me away
I need your strength
To get me through this
Dare to believe
For one last time
And then I'll let the
Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own
