How does one introduce an idea without words I mean how can I tell you how to feel with this verse I mean how can I know that you feel any thing for sure How does one explain this musical feeling in words I want to express I want to express Introduce inspiration otherwise unknown- huh! Sacrifice your olden principles and open your self to- huh! I wish I could tell you how I want you to feel I mean I wish I could make you feel what I deal I mean how can I know that you feel any thing for sure I wish I could make my fantasy real I want to express I want to express Introduce inspiration otherwise unknown- huh! Sacrifice your olden principles and open your self to- huh! I want to portray feelings on the in side my mind How can you ever know Feel my inspiration conquer what is feed to you, annihilate deception Feel, focus your mind Let these feelings flow through you, understand my kind

Don't you want to be free Don't expect it to be easy With all this hate it seems there is no room for love But it should not be enough to deceive Come on, you want to be freed Don't expect all answers from me Most of them come from within you Try to fight your own lack of honesty Fears and fallacies and strain of mind All your energies will settle in time When you are feeling that you are ruined inside Just remember it's a moment in life All the fools have put a twist in your stride Recall all this is a product of your pride When you are feeling that you have died in side Don't forget it's just one moment in life I thought you wanted to be free How hard can it really be Freedom comes from within you It is in your control, don't you see Let's set you free It's not good enough to follow me I can not teach one how to love But so many answers are locked in side Most answers come from within you Most answers come from within you Most answers come from within you Most answers come from within you Fears and fallacies and strain of mind All your energies will settle in time When you are feeling that you are ruined inside Just remember it's a moment in life All the fools have put a twist in your stride Recall all this is a product of your pride When you are feeling that you have died in side Don't forget it's just one moment in life Don't lose your self Don't forget who you are Don't lose your self Don't forget who you are

I do not remember her name And it drives me insane Who is there to blame Are there any means of escape I do not recall who I am Was this once a game I wish to understand I do not remember her name Things are not the same Am I to blame Is there any way to escape I do not recall what I have done Is this all a game How can I understand I feel lost and helpless I am on my own I feel broken and beaten How do I get home I am to find this girl I feel her inside I am searching for her How long have I tried I do not remember her name And it drives me insane Who is there to blame Are there any means of escape I do not recall who I am Was this once a game I wish to understand I do not remember her name Things are not the same Am I to blame Is there any way to escape I do not recall what I have done Is this all a game How can I understand There must be some enemy Holding her from me Holding my memory on a string It is dangling, I can faintly see There must have been some mistake What have I done I feel I do not deserve this Could I be wrong Could I be the enemy Is this some sort of game What am I expected to believe This drives me insane I do not remember her name And it drives me insane Who is there to blame Are there any means of escape I do not recall who I am Was this once a game I wish to understand I do not remember her name Things are not the same Am I to blame Is there any way to escape I do not recall what I have done Is this all a game How can I understand I think I have found it I think I know why (this has happened) I think I can see her Her from the other side I will fight for her I will win her back I will free her from her self This I promise This I must do

Note to god and the old man Why have I still this red rune upon my hand Red, purple, blue, orange Split sanity on demand Calm, quiet, loud, ferocious Split sanity, split sanity Note to god and the old man Why have I still this red rune upon my hand Split Sanity Split Sanity I will never forget the first time we met Drew her mark upon my hand, I had no idea how grand Never forget the first time we met The red said she was curious, no idea how grand How much she would mean to me Now she is gone, but I will get her back The blue will pay, crazy boy will launch an attack No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back Dear god and the old man why didn't you tell me why did you not know The man with the violin was just a pawn The blue has had her way now Blue has no sympathy, she cares not for her self She has divided her self from her red purity I have never had more hate for this fiend I respect Master nihilist, that bitch, devoid of anything worth logic No words, no talk We'll go kill each other I don't care how it's done Just bring me the red Blue has no sympathy, she cares not for her self She has divided her self from her red purity I have never had more hate for this fiend I respect Master nihilist, that bitch, devoid Look to the ocean What a beautiful blue I can't stand the ocean For that wretched blue Feel as you will I know my path I am running down to the end To meet with her wrath

Human nature is to destroy nature Innocence is a myth, don't forget Arrogance is the core of your void you must know By now, mankind is the disease that plagues us It's such a Terrible shame, take the blame For your misfortunes and your sick pain Suck your perversions of every Reason for everything Just enough to dissolve them (Pills are tools of masochism) You polish rotting fruit And claim 'It's good for you' Why did you rot it in the first place Make the jokes while you can Because you are just a man Woman, girl, boy that Blinds yourself from the sickness (You laugh in hopes of turning the reality Into just another comedy in our heads only) I won't laugh, I won't cry Failed emotions keep you dry Hypocrisy is your key To your door that doesn't swing (Hers swings both ways) Mine swings shut Cause I know Just how bad it gets With your eyes open wide You are truly blind To your own control Over your whole world Close your eyes and Think for a time Maybe really for the first time (See how you have betrayed yourself) All your pain and your mind that is so deranged Loosen the ties open your eyes Cease this arrogance Every one has their self to blame For their own worthless pain For the shape of their oblivion I don't care what you think Cause your mind slipped in the sink Replaced by the plastic and The pills, pills, pills, pills (Stop laughing, this is your life Why is she crying, it's only life There's not enough, you're too much Isn't there some god damn treatment for this) Why won't you do something Isn't there something you can do You are a doctor, you should know You are his mother, mom knows best Just as long as he shoots up at home I don't care, I don't know her Dirty skank, she is not as dirty as me Kill em, let's kill them all Just ignore it, it'll pass Smoking makes you look cool A whore is a slut, but a pimp is admirable Pain is good for stopping pain Let's fight fire with fire Just as long as we are fighting Everyone is doing it You will die if you say no (Hey man, you used to be cool) I am sick of these fools Cause I know Just how bad it gets Drugs are tools of the masochist Knowledge is power, ignorance is bliss Drugs are tools of The masochist Knowledge is power Ignorance is bliss Arrogance breeds In the masochist Unlock you logic Drop your fist What a terrible shame You will fail again and again With only the self to blame You are all a whole Terrible shame Failure is your one true friend Hold close all of the blame Unity falls down the hole

The cogs came, and they made, their selves known to us in such a way That stunned and struck us with great awe The Imp King has made clear that he wishes to destroy it all And that he surely can do it What a shame, what a scam, the cogs grew up from right behind us We could have just turned turned on our heels Universe has betrayed her self in so harmful of a way Like we once did so long ago And there will be blood to pay For the betrayal on this day We were the kings We were the kings Blood to pay For the betrayal on this day We were the kings We were the kings They destroy every thing every moment that they come to touch Slowly they eat away our past Most hope lost, then again, we have not had a reason to hope Since time that has been erased now We fight through the damn Frame, since the Imp King is not bound by time My friends, we fight for Universe In the end it will be not a thing save for perfect glory My friends, we fight for existence And there will be blood to pay For the betrayal on this day We were the kings We were the kings Blood to pay For the betrayal on this day We were the kings We were the kings If we lose out to these machines We will die smiling Though there is a chance for us still We can erase his memories too And though he has destroyed us in the past We grow stronger by the moment This is just what we need To stimulate our dull minds This is just what we need to bring our selves to life This is just what we need One last great adventure This is just what we need to bring universe back to life And there will be blood to pay For the betrayal on this day We were the kings We were the kings Blood to pay For the betrayal on this day We were the kings We were the kings And there will be blood to pay For the betrayal on this day We were the kings We were the kings The Imp King will know That this is our home We were the kings We were the kings

His majesty, he wishes for this world to end But what real madness does he hold my friend There must just be something more to this Some thing we don't know His majesty, he wishes for this world to end But what real madness does he hold my friend There must just be something more to this Some thing we don't know His orders are to destroy the earth from end to end But what real madness does he hold my friend There must just be some thing we haven't seen Something we have over looked We do as we are told because he owns our souls And even if we fought him he'd destroy our souls Our lord and master has the power to do all this We don't know reasons but we have heard ignorance is bliss We pillage and we destroy the world for him None stand in our way, all that do we tear limb from limb Can this violence, this hatred possibly be Justified His majesty, he wishes for this world to end But what real madness does he hold my friend There must just be some thing more to this Some thing we don't know His orders are to destroy the earth from end to end But what real madness does he hold my friend There must just be some thing we haven't seen Something we have over looked His majesty, he wishes for this world to end Now we know the madness that he holds my friend He wants us to destroy all the world before they find Before they come for him There are so many people angry with him For all the horrid things that he has done to them If only we had found our sooner, been able to stop him sooner Maybe this world could have been spared

Inspiration we all need but idolization we don't We shouldn't expect to achieve without work, face it now, you won't Music is a drive for all, not just those driven to compose Take it in, feel some thing grand, a mind should never close The moment has come, sit back, relax Or stand, prepare to dance for a chorused refrain attack Listen to the melody and Let it carry you off Don't feel bad for this obsession Cause I know that I cannot get enough Take in all of this melody And feel it flow through you But before I trigger awe inspire Just remember that you can do it too Listen to the melody and Let it carry you off Don't feel bad for this obsession Cause I know that I cannot get enough Take in all of this melody And feel it flow through you But before I trigger awe inspire Just remember that you can do it too In some moments feelings need release, music is a great way But please be sure to make it for you first, or to your subconscious you will pay Breathing in intoxication doesn't help you at all A crutch can not last, you have got to carry your self or you will fall Push in to a great drive, I say it again and again Don't feel bad for obsession, but don't let it lead to you end Let the sounds consume you, a vessel of bliss you can be Let it help you lift you up Listen to the melody and Let it carry you off Don't feel bad for this obsession Cause I know that I cannot get enough Take in all of this melody And feel it flow through you But before I trigger awe inspire Just remember that you can do it too A little bit of every thing, and a little bit more, some thing more and a lot of this stuff The music speaks fine by its self, but I guess that that just isn't enough A burning passion keeps me standing, what do you stand for Simply a melody can be what you need, and no thing more Bass, drum and a bass Push in to a great drive, I say it again and again Don't feel bad for obsession, but don't let it lead to you end Let the sounds consume you, a vessel of bliss you can be Let it help you lift you up Listen to the melody and Let it carry you off Don't feel bad for this obsession Cause I know that I cannot get enough Take in all of this melody And feel it flow through you But before I trigger awe inspire Just remember that you can do it too Listen to the melody and Let it carry you off Don't feel bad for this obsession Cause I know that I cannot get enough Take in all of this melody And feel it flow through you But before I trigger awe inspire Just remember that you can do it too Live on to achieve, live on to achieve Live on to achieve, and never let your satisfaction cease

You fear only what you can't be Why can't you be yourself It's not enough to take things easy You're washing away your health You fear only what you can't be You try too hard, much haste Face to face you will devour my soul today But you will never take my place Can't believe it's come to this Can't believe it's fun To know that you will fail always Even after I am gone Talk and spit your words 'Meaningless' is hung In your throat and in your eyes And soon you will kill our sun Get it, get it, if you want it you just take it Get it, just take it, if you want it it's yours You fear only what you can't be Why can't you be yourself It's not enough to take things easy You're washing away your health You fear only what you can't be You try too hard, much haste Face to face you will devour my soul today But you will never take my place I will not be the one to forgive you And you first have to forgive your self It's not enough to make things easy Look, there goes your health You fear only things you can see What about the taste Face to face you will take my mind from me But you will never take my place Bass solo Wrong bass Sorry I admit I am lost Within your lack of trust Crumbled maze our minds But mine is easier to find End your rage, don't break your cage Just leave it behind And I promise I won't promise Your redemption End your ways and kingdoms All your rules have failed Taste your sweet oblivion But only if you dare Talk and spit your words Meaningless is you Taste your holy deprivation An eclipse is due
