**SELF**
THIS ILLUSION HAS LEFT ME FAR FROM WHAT I WAS, STARING BACK AT ME AN INSIGNIFICANT USELESS NOTHING, BUT MY EYES HAVE OPENED TO SEE PAST YOUR EVERYTHING, NO MORE WILL I LET YOU TAKE CONTROL OF ME, RESISTANCE IS DENIAL, YOU ARE MY ONLY ENEMY. YOU PULL MY STRINGS, I SINK INTO A WORLD OF HATE. SUFFER, THROUGH TANGLES OF UNCERTAINTY. STANDING, ON FRAGMENTS OF DILUTED MEMORY. A BLACK SUN WILL RISE, DAWN THE DAY OF INFAMY. NO WASTED CHANCES TO SET THE WHEELS IN MOTION. NO MORE FORGIVENESS, NO MORE SILENT WITNESS. WITH A VENGEANCE I WILL BREAK THE STONE, THE ROCK THAT KEPT MY HEART ENCASED, KEPT MYSELF IN CONSTANT TRAGEDY.
**DIAMOND**
ANOTHER LIGHT GOES OUT TO THE MADNESS OF ANOTHER, A SELFISH TIRADE OF MISDIRECTED ANGER. NO WOUNDS TO HEAL, NO LAST RIGHTS FOR SENSELESS REASON, DARKNESS CONCEALS. RESTLESS DEMON AMIDST THE CROWD, HUNGERS, ANOTHER HEROS LIGHTS GO OUT. MURDERED, IN COLD BLOOD, IN FRONT OF ALL YOU’VE SEALED YOUR FUCKIN’ FATE. THIS LEGACY YOU’VE LEFT BEHIND, DOES NOTHING TO MEND THE PAIN THAT WE ALL FEEL INSIDE. EMPTY, A HOLLOW SHELL WHERE A MAN ONCE STOOD. SILENCED, ANOTHER LEGEND IS GONE FOR GOOD. YOU’RE BURIED, DEEP WITHIN, THROUGH MEMORIES MY FRIEND, YOU’LL LIVE AGAIN. NOTHING WILL MEND THESE SCARS EMBRACE, NOTHING WILL PACIFY, NOTHING WILL KILL THE TASTE OF YOUR IGNORANT INTRUSION, GONE ANOTHER LEGEND WITHOUT REASON. THIS PAIN INSIDE OF ME WILL NEVER WANE, IT FOREVER WILL TAKE HOLD. YOUR LIFE MEANS MORE TO US THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW, IN OUR HEARTS WE WILL KEEP YOU CLOSE.
**CRUTCH**
YOU COME TO ME IN YOUR DARKEST HOUR. TIME AFTER TIME, YOU COME TO ME WITH AFFLICTION, TIME AFTER TIME, I SEE SOLUTIONS SO CLEAR, YOU WANT ME TO MEND SCARS YOU DEFEND. REACHING OUT TO SLIP AGAIN ON YOUR DISTRUST, STAB THE BACK OF HUMILITY. REFUGE, IN YOURSELF YOU HIDE, IN YOUR SHELL AWAY FROM LIGHT. YOU WOULD WELCOME EVERLASTING NIGHT, YOU WOULD SELL YOUR SOUL TO EASE YOUR SUFFERING. YOUR SUFFERING... BLEED YOURSELF BONE DRY, BONE DRY, BONE DRY, TEMPTED TO FORSAKE YOURSELF. I CAN’T WATCH YOU IDLY DESTROY SELF, I CAN’T LET YOU SLIP INTO THIS DARK RECESS, IS THIS MADNESS OR JUST A DOWNWARD SPIRAL STRAIGHT TO HELL? PULL CLOSER THE BLANKETS OF FALSE SECURITY. WILL YOU GIVE UP ALL AND ALL YOU KNOW, REPENT YOUR SINS AND LAY BARE YOUR SOUL AND STAND HERE TO BE JUDGED BY GOD, FOR WHO AND ONLY WHAT YOU ARE. REDEMPTION FOR YOUR SINS DIVINE, CAN YOU HANDLE YOUR OWN BUSINESS NEXT TIME.
**STAR SEARCH**
COUNTLESS NIGHTS YOU’VE LAID AWAKE, WINDOW ESCAPE TO CELESTIAL PLANE, HEART DRIVEN, HELL BENT, GOD GRANT ME THIS WISH, BLESS ME A LIFE MUCH RICHER THAN THIS. INTENTIONS PURE? DESERVING RIGHT? THE TRUTH REVEALED THROUGH HOLY SIGHT. AND YOU’LL WANDER THIS ROAD ALONE, DESOLATE WASTE, NO PLACE LIKE HOME. YEARS YOU’VE PRAYED TO STARRY SKIES, SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING YOU’LL NEVER FIND. CUT TIES WITH THOSE AROUND YOU, CUT TIES WITH THOSE WHO LOVE YOU, CUT TIES, SEVERED. IMMERSE YOUR LIFE IN SUBSTANCE, PRODUCT OF CIRCUMSTANCES. IRREPARABLE THE DAMAGE TO YOUR SOUL, SELF RIGHTEOUS. PAN YOUR LIFE FOR GOLD AND YOU’LL FIND ALL THAT WAS REAL HAS WASHED AWAY, AND ALL THAT REMAINS IS THE FILTH ON YOUR HANDS, A HAUNTING REMINDER OF THE PAST, OF THE LIFE YOU WISHED AWAY. AND I... I WATCH YOUR BRIDGES BURN. I KNOW ALL THAT’S REAL IN YOU HAS BEEN WASHED AWAY, NOTHING REMAINS. GOD SEES ALL THE THINGS YOU DO, YOU CAN’T HIDE FROM TRUTH. FILTH STAINS YOUR HANDS AND STILL YOU WANDER, STILL YOU ROAM, STILL TRYING TO SQUEEZE BLOOD FROM BONE. STAR SEARCHING, STAR GAZING, ITS YOUR LIFE YOU’RE WASTING.
**BLOOD OF MY BROTHERS**
JUST TAKE MY HAND, REACH FOR ME, AS ONE WE’LL OVERCOME ANYTHING. CONSUMED BY ALL THAT SURROUNDS YOU, DESPERATE AND REACHING OUT, I’LL BE THERE FOR MY BROTHERS, I’LL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. STAND, FIGHT, PERILOUS WORLD FILLED WITH DEMO NS, STAND, FIGHT, PREYS ON MY FAMILY. STAND, FIGHT, I’LL CARRY YOU THROUGH THE DARKNESS, STAND, FIGHT, THROUGH FIELDS OF ENEMIES. I’LL FIGHT FOR BLOOD OF MY BROTHERS, WE’LL STAND SIDE BY SIDE, WE’LL NEVER RUN FOR COVER, WE’LL MAKE NO SACRIFICE. CRUSHED UNDER HAMMER FALL, THE WEIGHT OF OUR IRON WILL, HARD TIMES, WE LEAN ON EACH OTHER, A MONOLITH THAT YOU CAN’T KILL. TENSIONS WILL STRAIN, BUT I WILL NEVER BREAK. I’LL FIGHT FOR BLOOD OF MY BROTHERS, WE’LL NEVER RUN AND HIDE. HARD TIMES, WE LEAN ON EACH OTHER, WE’LL STAND SIDE BY SIDE. HARD TIMES, OUR LIVES LAID ON THE TABLE, HARD TIMES, NO SHAME, NO REGRETS. HARD TIMES REVEAL TRUE CHARACTER, HARD TIMES IS WHERE WE PASS THE TEST. STAND, FIGHT, FOR BLOOD OF MY BROTHERS, STAND, FIGHT, FOR BLOOD OF MY BROTHERS.
**THIS HOPELESS LOVE**
WHAT WE HAD, WHAT’S BEEN LOST, RESIST INDEFINITE SEPARATION, THIS HOPELESS LOVE WITHERS. I’M WAITING FOR YOU TO SAVE ME, I’M WAITING FOR YOU TONIGHT, I’M WAITING FOR YOU TO SAVE ME, AM I JUST WASTING TIME? I’M WAITING FOR YOU TO SAVE ME, SAVE ME FROM MYSELF, I’M WAITING FOR YOU TO SAVE ME, PULL ME FROM ETERNAL HELL. THESE HEARTS TREAD MILES TOGETHER, WE’VE MADE MEMORIES, EMOTIONS HERE RUN DEEPER THAN EXTERIOR, I MUST KEEP. BUT SOMEHOW, SOMEWHERE, WE LOST IT ALL, SOMEHOW WE LET IT ALL SLIP AWAY. ALWAYS I WILL LOVE YOU, ALWAYS. THIS HOPELESS LOVE, WE LET IT ALL SLIP AWAY, THIS LOVE, WE LET IT ALL SLIP AWAY, BUT I WILL ALWAYS HOLD YOU, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A PLACE FOR YOU IN MY HEART, IN MY HEART. HOPELESS, DEAFENING THE BEATING OF MY HEART, DESTINY WILL KEEP US ALWAYS, AND I... I’M WAITING FOR YOU TO SAVE ME, I’M WAITING FOR YOU TONIGHT, I’M WAITING FOR YOU TO SAVE ME, AM I JUST WASTING TIME? I’M WAITING FOR YOU TO SAVE ME, SAVE ME FROM MYSELF, I’M WAITING FOR YOU TO SAVE ME, PULL ME FROM ETERNAL HELL.
**HERE TODAY GONE TOMORROW**
THIS WORLD, OUR CANCER, ASSIMILATE BENEATH OUR SHALLOW SKIN. TEMPTATION PLAGUES MY LIFE, SHROUDED THE PATH AS TO WHICH WAY TO GO, RAPES MY MIND, CLOUDING MY CONSCIENCE AND EATING ME SLOW. ALL THE CHOICES THAT WE MAKE, CONSEQUENCES FOR THE GAMES WE PLAY. MY FATHERS EYES, AFFECT THE CHANGE IN MY VIEW OF THIS WORLD, IN HIS LIFE, PROVIDED ME STRENGTH NOW I STAND ON MY OWN. THROUGH THE HARD TIMES AND THE PAIN, ONE THING I HAVE FOUND, SCARS ARE FOR REMEMBERING, AND I WILL NEVER FORGET THE LOVE YOU’VE SHOWN, AND SCARS ARE FOR REMEMBERING AND I WILL NEVER FORGET. WE’RE GIVEN SO PRECIOUS LITTLE TIME TO HOLD ON TO THE ONES WE LOVE, TO THE THINGS WE CHERISH, IT’S HERE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW, AND IN THE END WHEN JUDGEMENT COMES TO PASS, WILL YOU STAND WITH PEACE OF MIND, OR WILL YOU SUFFER, SUFFER? I STAND MY GROUND, I WON’T SUCCUMB TO TEMPTATION. THIS WORLD BEATS ME DOWN, I CARRY ON DETERMINATION, MY SACRIFICE FOR PESTILENCE IN MY LIFE, BUT MY DESTINY I DOMINATE. I LOVE YOU FATHER, YOU LEFT ME AND SCARS ARE FOR REMEMBERING AND I WILL NEVER FORGET.
