Have I woken where I went to sleep?
Am I drifting now through time and space,
How to know when I've gone in too deep?
Can I get back from this other place

We've reached a turning point
We're on the edge
Time to save ourselves
Will it end
Life and death are just illusions
See the cracks form in Reality
Time and space Break from their union
Sliding through dimensions endlessly

Am I lost or have I found my way?
Back to this cold dark world that I have seen before?
Lost in another time, caught in another plane of space
Doing all I can to get back once to see your face

We've reached a turning point
We're on the edge
Time to save ourselves
Will it end

Life and death are just illusions
See the cracks form in Reality
Time and space Break from their union
Sliding through dimensions endlessly

Why can't you see
We're facing extinction
Fall to your knees
Pray for redemption

We've reached a turning point
We're on the edge
Time to save ourselves
Will it end

Life and death are just illusions
See the cracks form in Reality
Time and space Break from their union
Sliding through dimensions endlessly
Run Away

Lonely and desperate
Nobody hears my call
Lives have been broken
Enslaving us all
Rhyme without reason
Bridges were built to burn
Nothing is sacred
Nowhere to turn

We live in a haze
Polluted thought and cowardice,
End the malaise

Falling through uncertainty we're lost
We're cast into this world of madness
Round and round we're tossed
Falling through uncertainty we're lost
We're waiting for a sign

Why were we taken here
Why were we made to pay
Forever forsaken
Forever enslaved
You think that you'll change the world
You're running out of time
Nothing will be there
It's the end of the line

Each passing day
We lose ourselves in ignorance
When will we pay?

Falling through uncertainty we're lost
Cast into this world of madness
Round and round we're tossed
Falling through uncertainty we're lost
We're waiting for a sign

Falling through uncertainty we're lost
Cast into this world of madness
Round and round we're tossed
We're never gone, we're
Falling through uncertainty we're lost
Cast into this world of madness
Round and round we're tossed
We're never gone, we're
Falling through uncertainty we're lost
Cast into this world of madness
Round and round we're tossed
We're never gone, we're
Falling through uncertainty we're lost
We're waiting for a sign

I look into your eyes
But never see a face
Just something to be killed
We're turning to disgrace
If we end our lives this way
Is deception here to stay

They won't go away
We, have been led astray
No, they cover our eyes
We've, been desensitized

Don't ever stop to think
It's wrong to hesitate
Just point the gun and shoot
You can't make a mistake
If we end our lives this way
is deception here to stay

They won't go away
We, have been led astray
No, they cover our eyes
We've, been desensitized

Don't ever stop to think
It's wrong to hesitate
Just point the gun and shoot
You've got no choice

They won't go away
We, have been led astray
No, they cover our eyes
We've, been desensitized

I feel the cold thud of hot lead
Against my beating chest
And as I fall the colours drain from me
All life I once posessed...

War began two years ago
When I was 17
I tried to volunteer
They knocked me back
I couldn't pass the screen
They said "Boy, you're too young
To go war, to fire a gun"
I wish that I had listened then
To what they said

I was untrained and unprepared
Never told I should be scared
(I saw things that no man should ever see)
Staring death right in the face
When I've not even run the race

The war was raging on
For 10 years with no signs of ending
The men up top were scared
They'd lost so many troops they're sending

So we were sent away
To fight under the desert sun
Only to find our forces
Crippled, understocked and on the run
They came from all directions
They came from holes under the ground
But when we finally saw them
It was too late
It was too late for me

I was untrained and unprepared
Never told I should be scared
(I saw things that no
man should ever see)
Staring death right in the face
When I've not even run the race

I was untrained and unprepared
Never told I should be scared
(I saw things that no man should ever see)
Staring death right in the face
When I've not even run the race
Just a conscript sent to die
Without ever knowing why
So many sent to die in vain
Without a grave to bear their name
We lie unknown

We die so far from home
There's nothing left...

Living in a world of black
In a darkened life I see
We're bound up in the images
Our hands just guess for us
Taking one last step
Is the hardest thing to do
The simplest of tasks for me
Flaunted blatantly by you

As darkness fades and I regain
What was lost
A sight that sees through masks we wear
But at what cost
And I can tell you now
You're fooling no one
You won't like these things that
I can see

I've never known the mystery that is
Sight that is sound I'm forever bound
Can we ever tell what really is
The light, the mask,
That governs us all
How can we live with our head in clouds
What drives you on will leave you empty

As darkness fades and I regain
What was lost
A sight that sees through masks we wear
But at what cost
And I can tell you now
You're fooling no one
You won't like these things that

I can see

As darkness fades and I regain
What I lost
A sight that sees through masks I wear
But at what cost
And I can tell you now
I'm fooling no one
I don't like these things that
I can see

Are you speaking without words?
Are you singing without melody?
Are you moving to the essence Of this world or of your soul?
Are you searching But not finding it
At all?

Is there anything you seek?
Is there anything you hear?
Are you blackened by a culture?
Of emptiness and of despair?
Are you living or just hiding it
From all?

Never knowing how
Never caring why
You give up everything To try to
Catch the sun
Only now you know
Only now you care
You're losing everything But the sun was black
And now it's gone

Are you hot or are you cold?
Chasing only what you're told?
Do you control
What you're looking for?
Or has it taken hold?
Is it worth just what you blindly sold
for it?

Never knowing how
Never caring why
You give up everything To try to
Catch the sun
Only now you know
Only now you care
You're losing everything But the sun was black
And now

What good is it for man
To take this whole dark world
Only forfeiting his soul?
But never out of reach
Never without words of truth
Never far from being whole again

Wake me from a dream
Images get clearer
I'm here alone,
Nothings as it was before
Tried to speak
Words are just not there for me
Feel myself
Descending through a world of darkness

I turn to see your face
And cry in anger

If I saw into the future
Could I do it all again,
Would I put myself through agony
To get to ecstasy
Would I turn my back And walk away Alone into the dark
Would I live forever knowing...

With the morningrise
Waking life returns to me
Feel as though
I might as well have never slept before,
Long to close my eyes
To see yours in the darkness
But all I see
An Icy stare That looks right through me

This Dream is over
Will I ever sleep again?

If I saw into the future
Could I do it all again,
Would I put myself through agony
To get to ecstasy
Would I turn my back And walk away Alone into the dark
Would I live forever knowing
What was coming from the start

This Dream is over
Will I ever sleep again?

If I saw into the future
Could I do it all again,
Would I put myself through agony
To get to ecstasy
Would I turn my back And walk away Alone into the dark
Would I live forever knowing
What was coming from the start

Out here nothing changes
Not in a hurry anyway
You can feel the endlessness
With the coming of the light of day

Talkin' bout a chosen place
They want to sell it in a marketplace
Just a minute now
Standin' on solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Keep blowin down the line

'Round about the dawn of time
Dreaming all began
Proud people come
Livin' in a promised land

Running' from a heart of darkness
Searchin' for a heart of light
Could've been paradise
Standin' on solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Were blowin' cold that night

Standin' on the shore one day
Saw white sails in the sun
Wasn't long before you felt that sting
White man white law white gun

Don't tell me that it's justified
'Cause somewhere someone lied
Genocide
Someone lied

Standin' on solid rock
Standin' on sacred ground
Livin' on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Are blowin down the line

No
Bring me back to earth
Rip me from the sky
Can I stop the rising tide
Vision starts to blur
Sweat runs down my face
Losing everything I can't replace

We're losing it all
Pushed to the end of my rope

Armageddon's coming down and nothing is the same
Try to run but know that I'm not gonna get away
Is this fear?
Still the silence is the hardest thing to fucking hear

Sinking to the depths
Are we gonna drown
Wind and rain they pelt the ground
Lives are blown to bits
Empires falling down
Short of breath I try to speak But I cant make a sound

We're losing it all
Pushed to the end of my rope

Armageddon's coming down and nothing is the same
Try to run but know that I'm not gonna get away
Is this fear?
Still the silence is the hardest thing to fucking hear

See the path laid out before me,
But there's no signs on the road,
The future is blind before me,
Which way to go,
How should I know!

[chorus]
I could've spent so many nights
wondering what might have been again,
Will I let fate come and take me by the hand,
I should've rolled the dice
and took the plunge
and see where I might land,
Don't know where I'm going
but I know that I'm not coming back!

I've got to make a decision,
Down which path will I go,
No more time to stand here waiting,
I've got to go, that's all I know.

Keep on believing you're
living your life your own way
Their influence just grows every day
All that you hear you will
instantly trust
What we're shown as diamonds
turns out to be rust.

[chorus]
Taking gladly what you're given
All too blind to see the way
Want a different world to live in
Can't take this one more day.

We live in an age that is ruled
by a blanket of fear
Don't know if to believe
what i see or hear
Might be true or it might not
there's just no way to tell
While they build themselves heaven
they're giving us hell.

You don't know me,
I don't even know myself,
Can't control me,
I will fight you til my dying breath schizophrenia,
Multi-personality,
Feel it taking over,
Suddenly not who I used to be!

[chorus]
Feel it taking hold,
All thought is drained from me,
Nothing I can do,
It's taking over me.

Trapped inside these,
Ever growing web of lies,
Why'd you show me beauty?
Now I know a monster lurks inside,
Integration,
As I break out of my head,
Know I seem a little crazy but,
I'll be right in the end.

Why must I feel this pain?
Just don't know what to do,
It's happening again,
Been spat out again and used,
I don't know what to think,
Thoughts whirling in my mind,
Are things just what they seem?
Impossible to find.

Just what am I to you,
Just a plaything or a fool,
So tired of playing games,
Revenge is all I crave,
I'll be watching evermore,
Maybe sneaking through the door,
Tired of looking through the glass,
I'll step inside at last!

Tried to leave it in the past,
Tried to get away at last,
You know,
I'm just a shadow of myself,
Leave me broken burnt and scarred,
Moving on still seems so hard,
You see,
The scars!

Time goes on, memories fade,
See myself, dying each day,
Ask myself, what's going on,
Feel myself begin to fall.

Why!
The devastation,
Tell me why!
This fucking devastation,
You left me here,
Fall into void obscurity,
Never fear,
Until your final dying day!
Aah!

I wait here for the dawn,
But it never seems to come,
This night keeps dragging on,
Will I ever see the sun?
See the world now turn away,
The starry sky, I used to see, now seems so grey,
When everything's going in circles,
You never reach the end.

The walls collapse around me,
The colours they play out a dance of death,
The beauty, it astounds me,
But is this my final breath?

Question my sanity,
How to know what is real?
A fractured mind that will not heal!
Wasting the night away,
How to know left's not right,
There's nothing left for me tonight!
Acid brain,
Gone insane,
Wishing that this was still a game,
Twisted mind,
Lost inside,
No way to see through this endless night!

A mind wrapped in confusion,
Not even sure what is real,
The puzzle is falling to pieces,
I feel my fate is sealed!

I see the faces,
Staring up imploring to me,
I feel their anger,
As they pull me back down to my knees,
I want to save you,
But you won't even let me try,
I feel your apathy,
But why the fuck won't you let me try.

[chorus]
No one to hold you,
Nobody there to stop the fight,
You're wasting away before my eyes,
And there's nothing I can do.

I feel the frustration,
I get close and you move further away,
I talk and you hear me,
But you don't hear a word that I say,
I want to keep going,
But I'm so close to giving up,
Transformed by your weakness,
Into something that I'm not.

Standing at the edge,
Right there on the brink,
So close to falling down,
Down into the drink,
Open up my eyes,
Smoke clouds what I'll see,
Is there something down there?
Is that something me?
See my fear,
Drawing near.

Trying every day,
Trying to break loose,
Things just stay the same,
Closer to the noose,
Always crawling back,
Habits hard to break,
So lost can't find my track.,
Bright eyes fade away,
See my fear,
Drawing near.

Tried to scream,
Can't find my
Voice
Been denied of every
Choice
Why is it that they can't
See
The misery they're causing
Me
Made me follow all their
Rules
Time to break out - fuck the
Fools
Now it's time to get them
Back
Rally your forces all out
Attack.

[chorus]
You cannot escape us
We're gonna hunt you down
Darker Half is coming
To slaughter your whole town.

Tried to hold us in
Control
Brought about their own death
Toll
None of them will live to
See
The day we set ourselves
Free
Not a soul is to be
Spared
Torture, pain, now getting
Scared
None of you will live to
See
The day we set ourselves
Free.

I see the terror on your eyes,
Been forced to fight just to survive,
Always lived in peace before,
Shattered lives destroyed by war,
Ohhh, you came and took our homes,
Never from this day again!

[chorus]
Conquered from the sea and had our homes,
Ripped and torn away,
Fought back long and hard until we fall,
Being crushed again!

It's getting harder every day,.
Just to hold them back at bay,
Spears no match for musket fire,
We won't give in softly either!
Ooh, you came and took our homes,
Never from this day again!

NO! You came and we thought you were gods!
NO! You tore down our homes as we watched,
As you changed our world.

NO! You tore down our cities of stone!
NO! Replaced them with ones of your own,
As you changed our world.

Incas forced to turn and run,
Curse the sight of Spaniards gun,
Life will never be the same,
Claim these shores in our own name,
Searching for a land of gold,
New world richer than the old,
I know we'll find a way,
To take our homeland back!

Senseless violence,
Breaks the silence,
Thousands slaughtered,
More were tortured,
Deadly chamber no escaping,
Careless for the lives they're taking.

[chorus]
Holocaust,
Holocaust,
Holocaust,

Persecution,
No solution,
Taste of death sits on your breath,
Concentration,
Mass damnation,
Death becomes a realization.

Bombs are flying,
Soldier dying,
Bodies corpses multiplying,
For what reason I can't see,
Brainwashed servants,
Kill for thee.

Oppression still lives on,
The monarchy stands strong,
They take til nothings left,
Then start on back again,
Someone stood to say,
It doesn't have to be that way,
Let's take back what is ours,
Destroy the royal powers.

[chorus]
Heads are gonna roll,
Heads are gonna roll,
Heads are gonna roll.

Made it halfway there,
The king and court are scared,
They wait to see their fate,
Their honour they forsake,
And over in Versailles,
The people rule in their own way,
But a new threat still lives on,
And something must be done!

See the royal power,
In their darkest hour,
Locked up in their cell,
Going straight to hell,
Revolutionary,
Going a bit crazy,
Chopping heads at will,
Seems he's bred to kill!

And as the sun has nearly set,
Upon this wasteland of regret,
The darkening horizon comes,
To lead the way,
Out come the creatures of the night,
In their thousands.

[chorus]
Why should we wander on,
To blindly follow,
Those who've gone before,
Stop looking to the past,
Start looking forward,
A nightmare future stands before us all!
Will we stand or fall!

Fight for your life!

Creep through darkened city streets,
Wide eyed with fear that never sleeps,
The screeching wail of guns,
Reminds me that I'm far away from home,
Will I see my life again,
Is it over!
