deeper shades of red descending
smear our names, the stains unending
turn forgiveness,
break the lens distorted
crush the infidel and turn about
famine in our hearts, bring up the silence louder
eradicate the lungs and take us higher
these are the wonders at your feet
weighed upon a wider scale
afraid to see what takes us down
sing destruction, sing of unfullfillment
search abandoned, let the blood be fevered
ridden of the self provided things get easier
ignite our minds and let's burn brighter
these are the wonders at your feet

What comes as no surprise
To a jaded mind no less
Insight comes to soothing grace
Left for waiting days
Another chord unstrummed
Our secret's safe and sound
Solid now
Unless it breaks in two
Faithfully unbound
None of this was ever built to last
In the paleness of a less than life
From a corner watching old paint dry
Never once a break
Into the self again
An endeavour that will flat our fail
What maturity comes to end
Never one to face
LyricsAnother beat undone
Our secret's safe and sound
Solid now
Unless it breaks in two
Faithfully unbound
None of this was ever
Built to last
Once again
Another instant saved today
Left a print that leads nowhere
Never built to last
What makes it work
A part of life that makes the weak hearts grow
Take it in if you're willing to say
Willing to do
Prepared to lay it down
Just know this:
Never (never)
Ever (ever)
[..................................]
It was
Never ever built to last
Never ever built to last
. . .

And although it can be argued
Whether time will ever come to end
There is an overcoming sense of failing
If you never can see the end
In the giving of our hope eternal
We stumble blindly and forget the way
Is there ever time for answers
When the world comes tumbling down?
World comes tumbling down
All along we keep staring at the sun
Closing our minds
Saying we're the ones
All along we keep staring at the sun
Blind to see it
When the day will come
And even if in days of wonders
A glance that may stray from the fold
Cast aside in the spirit of ignorance
A mere nuisance when it's time to pay
LyricsCome undone now the strive and the passion
Giving under to the forces that be
Can you even think of questions
When the world comes tumbling down?
World comes tumbling down
All along we keep staring at the sun
Closing our minds
Saying we're the ones
All along we keep staring at the sun
Blind to see it
When the day will come
We shut our eyes and turn away
We shut our eyes and turn away
All along we keep staring at the sun
Closing our minds
Saying we're the ones
All along we keep staring at the sun
Blind to see it
When the day will come

Scars torn open
Bondage slave
Eating my wrists
A thrust that numbs the pain
Secondary now the instinct
Thrust beyond control
Chaotic
Are the tracks before me
Barren are the ones behind
Carried in a cage controlling
Driven
Driven on
Driven in
Headlong onto the breach
Driven on
Driven in
Taken to the extreme
LyricsHeadlong onto the breach
Pumping fast
The race is on
Furious in striving
The feast of burden begins
The feast of burden begins
Driven on
Driven in
Taken to the extreme
Headlong onto the breach
Driven on
Driven in
Headlong onto the breach
The enslaving force
Thrown ahead
Unrelenting
Unrelentingly holding fast
Steaming ahead unknowing
Careless again it seems
Unknowing
Oblivious to the pressure
The feast of burden begins
The feast of burden begins
. . .

Now as the lights go down
Deeper now it seems than long before
There are no noises here
Just a silence gone bad
Something I will never hide
This urging need to
Invite the darkside in
Invite the darkside
Invite the darkside in
Invite the darkside
In
In
In
Into my haven
If there were words for this
Would I sing or should I scream?
I'd give my blood to stay
LyricsMy blood just to stay right here
Something I will never hide
This urging need to
Invite the darkside in
Invite the darkside
Invite the darkside in
Invite the darkside
In
In
In
Into my haven

What we always fear and loathe
Becomes of us
Repay the visit of our loss
Reset the marks again
The turning point
The turning point seems to be holding on
Sands of ages and the stars above
Everchanging as the same hearts beat
Repeating 'till the end
Seas of slander and the soil we walk
Everchanging as these old hearts beat
It ends up all the same
The sail that never knew the wind
Barren and lost
Our wrecks whose shores will never reach
A trek on darker trails
Let days be done
Let days be done
Let days
LyricsIt takes forever, holding on
Sands of ages and the stars above
Everchanging as the same hearts beat
Repeating 'till the end
Seas of slander and the soil we walk
Everchanging as the same hearts beat
It ends up all the same
Come on now, holding on
Sands of ages and the stars above
Everchanging as the same hearts beat
Repeating 'till the end
Seas of slander and the soil we walk
Everchanging as these old hearts beat
It ends up
The same
. . .

scattered throughout now
indefinite form
willed to find strangers
in the wickedest state
when it comes upon you my friend
fear not - it makes us men
hidden within ourselves now
lured into hiding out of sight
creation in purity
we don't need no host
suck it in
it waits for noone
take it down
the coming of descent
fiery changeling
reddened and frail
perspire to save it
the remnant of this game
Lyricsif it launches again today
will our lives begin again
turning away from tides of lust
stronger return against all odds
suck it in
it waits for noone
take it down
the coming of descent
raised to take stand
to separate grace
shown in the wake of new light
seeing it will break
the flavour of aquired taste
another boundary yet to face
witness the revolution
the fabric of essence
come again
. . .

Wrestled on its back
The ego showed its face
Charged up, receiving
Came out knowing
Hopeless intrusion
Where nothing can be found
Strewn, the seeds were wasted
On the innocents in awe
Fruitless connection
In the ripeness of his age
Drawn and thrust in anger
The dagger once again will fail
The ego drama unfolds
Hopeless intrusion
Where nothing can be found
Strewn, the seeds were wasted
On the innocents in awe
Lyrics
It's over
It's over
If nothing comes along
It's over
It's over
For you
So in denial stand
Where shame is not
And unto others fall
The blame, the guilt, the others fault
Come on now
Scratch and claw with all your strength
Take on the wildest bull in the horde
Come burn them finger fast
And take back what they owe
Return the safety where there was none
Hopeless intrusion
Where nothing can be found
Strewn, the seeds were wasted
On the innocents in awe
Fruitless connection
In the ripeness of his age
Drawn and thrust in anger
The dagger once again will fail
. . .

Cowardice
This chain of events
Gather and plot
The ensnaring of me
Gone now
The sense of lust
Is there a cause for the reckless excess?
Take it in
The growth and trust
Retaliatory strike at the weakest spot
Raked away the remains of my fall
Laid scattered across plains of regret
Humble in defence of the wicked
Rundown, naked and blind
Merciless
The onslaught of demands
Get in line for the numbning
I won't make a stand
Lyrics
Redeemer
Of the slavery
Reconcile with the carefree and content
Ensnarer
Caretaker
Lead not these, the frail into battle again
Crossing out the ramblings of others
Tired of the same old refrain
Knowing this will all be corrected
Torn down, wasted and lost
I can't take it anymore 'cause I am rundown
Can't take it anymore 'cause this is wrong
Tired and rundown
Tired and rundown
I can't take it anymore 'cause I am rundown
Can't take it anymore 'cause this is wrong
Tired and rundown
Tired and run
Down
Spat it out
The foolish lines you fed
It holds a place in the civilized mind
Forcefed
The turn of our venturesome quest
Being rundown as we seek
Rundown
The day this was lost
All that you see
All that I'll be
Rundown
Rundown
. . .

Secrets in here
Claim no belonging
Together again
Or send me to madness
I know
That I should have listened
Was given a choice
I turned down forever
No
So tell me, are you lonely?
So tell me, are you
Emptier still?
As time takes us farther
Away from the goals
By which we are measured
I know
That I should have stayed true
To you and to me
But time never heals
LyricsSo here alone I stand
So tell me, are you lonely?
So tell me, are you mine?
I see you standing there
Your face against the wall
So turn right around
Turn right around
I who know your deepest fear
And yet you walk away
So turn right around
Turn right around
So tell me, are you lonely?
So tell me, are you mine?
Don't speak, for you are me
. . .

Waiting for
Waiting for the signs to bring
The first to sing
Felt inbetween these fears
Set to unknown tunes
So tempt these fragile fiends
A grace gone dark
You'll never know
You'll never feel
You'll never taste
The depths of your defeat
Break into the hearts and minds of men
Never one to tell
Never one to tell
Sucking on a lie that never ends
Found at loss for words
Found at loss for words
Break into the hearts and minds of men
LyricsNever one to tell
Never one to tell
Sucking on a lie that never ends
Found at loss for words
Found at loss for words
Now locking on
Locking on to faith gone bad
Sweet touch of sin
Not in the sleight of hand
Can facts be lost?
So never understate your case
Deny our weight
There never is
There never was
There never can be
A break from binding chains
Break into the hearts and minds of men
Never one to tell
Never one to tell
Sucking on a lie that never ends
Found at loss for words
Found at loss for words
. . .

we are to be something here again
we are to play soldiers now, pretend
we are born inside these endless halls of shame
we are jaded by the error-ways of man
it doesn't make us strong
it doesn't make us strong
the things that i find stranger here
will not let us in
will not let us in
show me, i won't tell
and even if i go today
i won't understand
understand
we are to be something we are not
we are to repeat our faults my friend
we are taken down from sanity's lonely heights
we are shown the downward spiral ways of man
it doesn't make us strong
it doesn't make us strong
the things that i find stranger here
will not let us in
no, they will not let us in
show me, i won't tell
'cause even if i die today
i won't understand
understand

we no longer support ourselves
we live through each others tears
we no longer caress, no longer take hold
til this will be over again
the dream is over when all this begins
the past not part of the deal
the failing words i once said to you
you turned and walked out the door
gone
over
i said it's fine
you burn them bridges
and you turn around
around
can't you see the misery in me?
can't you see the misery is me?
don't you know the fear i feel inside?
the misery in me
Lyricswe no longer sustain ourselves
we live through each other's wounds
let's no longer detain, no longer suppress
pretend to be something we're not
the world is over when all is the same
a companion always there
but you have deceived
when all this is gone
you took back what you already had
gone
over
i said it's fine
you burn them bridges
and you turn around
around
can't you see the misery in me?
can't you see the misery is me?
don't you know the fear i feel inside?
the misery in me
we no longer care if it breaks
it falls on belated pride
we keep on heading inwards
so this might be our only chance
to turn it around
can't you see the misery in me?
can't you see the misery is me?
don't you know the fear i feel inside?
the misery in me
. . .

There never was a night like this
how could there ever be?
Through sweat and velvet misery
the fever-race in me.
Cornered in symmetrical design,
sphere-like chrome on a sea enraged.
Hatred.
What the mirror sees
is the clutching at straws,
taking us under.
The storm of the ocean,
this velvety crush.
Ringcorners, firm in the outrage.
synoptic patterns,
waves contort.
Break into these cellular walls.
Globes of disease
infest my dreams,
Lyricsburning the ends of my veins.
Pattern and form
the squares cling fast,
dance the tide now.
Could never bear another night,
although I know it will come.
The freezing ends of what is me,
the icing rages free.
Take hold of the boundaries,
on this perimeter sea.
Burn, enflame the oppressor
and if four was one
in a corner alone
recovering, licking the wounds.
Delirium coming,
the weakness kicks in.
Reforming, cornered within.
