From the glaring blackness
They slither and slide through the ones and zeros
Prophecy of collapse unfolds
Last grains of sand spiral down the hole

Chance has graced me with a gift
Rest that could be from the dark descent
Sun beats down in hailing rays

In this time of anything
I should pray that through this journey I’m unprepared
I won’t go
Save me now
See your life
I see your life

One. All.

Does he know the way
I wish to stay

See what his aim
Avalanche!
Compromise the road, I will not burn

Pray I’ll always know what they
Those away failing hearts

Cries escape your sweet voice as I kiss you one last time
…One last time…
Do you remember me and our beautiful affair?
Look in my eyes and honestly tell me our love is gone!
Why have you turned your back on me?
One day you’ll wake up and realize your mistake

Ice runs through my veins as I stand face to face with
The one who stole it all
Compassion is not an option

Cries escape your sweet voice as I kiss you one last time
…One last time…
Do you remember me and our beautiful affair?
Look in my eyes and honestly tell me our love is gone!
Why have you turned your back on me?
One day you’ll wake up
Realize your mistake!

In love we’re one, inseparable, pathetic lust, thus we crumble
I saw your eyes, I wiped your tears, I waited for you…

Who do you see with your eyes shut tight?
Regret will be your bride
Goodbye…

Do you remember me and our beautiful affair?
Look in my eyes and honestly tell me our love is gone!
Why have you turned your back on me?
One day you’ll wake and realize your mistake
Cries escape your sweet voice as I paint my own goodbye

It’s rising against all the walls we built for falling.
All the walls we built just stand in vain to draw you near.
It’s the wool to hide the wolves.
And under these toes from where we last spoke, Your words laid so firm.
But I did not shed that skin like You said.
When the mason neglects the mortar, looks become deceiving
and when the bricks start to fall,
I’ll be the one crawling down this road so dark.
Vices like vipers
Speak in whispers.
My heel’s the meat to sink their teeth,
Like the viper I kept when You said, “Let go!”
This is what it took for me to see.
WHEN I AM GOD this church is unsound.
Slithering in the shade of a sinking church,
Surprise is no excuse for the traps that you left in the wake of warning.
So this is the warning, You fall to learn.
And to the girls,
You’re worth more than the cheap words.
You see your body as beauty, but your pulse is worth more.
Hear me, it’s not what it seems, though the feeding tastes of honesty.
This is the warning, you’re just a hit to coax my urgency.
Why do we keep what holds us? Why do I keep what holds me down?
Lose the weight of defeat. It’s time to stand your ground!
Vices like vipers
Speak in whispers.
My heel’s the meat to sink their teeth,
Like the viper
I kept when You said, “Let go!”
Since all the alibis of ignorance are void…
This, my lust, the pornos and the sluts.
Take, my lust, this world’s Love.
Great Councilor, take what’s left.
Great Councilor, take what’s left of me

[screaming I can't really catch on to]

I feel the pressure
it’s coming down on me
It’s turning me black, and bluee
you left me, on the side of the road
SIDE OF THE ROAD
and now i’ve got no place to go
you’ve brought the flood!

I feel the pressure, It’s coming down on me, It’s turning me black and blue
You left me on the side of the road
SIDE OF THE ROAD
and now i’ve got no place to go
You brought the flood!

[Screaming]

I don’t know
I cannot see
Who we are now
How we used to be

Is it you?
Or is it me?
Look in the mirror
We are a fading memory

Where are we?
We got lost
In the cold

I will live again you’ll see – Tomorrow’s not scaring me
Far away from yesterday – Just take this pain away

Fatal chaos
Hurtful lies
A broken dream
Is all we left behind

Is it you?
Or is it me?
Look in the mirror
Just a fading memory

Harmony & lead – Michael & Christopher
Outro lead – Michael Amott

Where are we?
We got lost
In the cold

I will live again you’ll see – Tomorrow’s not scaring me
Far away from yesterday – Just take this pain away

We pave the roads we take
We bend before we break
Across the world with you
Across the world with you
The love you never found
Was right here all along
Waiting here for you
Waiting here for you
When words mean nothing I’ll be here singing On and on and on and on
Worlds away I’ll still be singing On and on and on and on

I know you feel like you’ve come to far
But you can always trace your steps back to the start
Tearing down what you had tried to build
Sometimes earthquakes have a chance to kill
When words mean nothing I’ll be here singing On and on and on and on
Worlds away I’ll still be singing On and on and on and on
When words mean nothing I’ll be here singing On and on and on and on
Whoa
Worlds away I’ll still be singing On and on and on and on
Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa
When words mean nothing I’ll be here singing On and on and on and on
Worlds away I’ll still be singing On and on and on and on

When I’m lying in your bed play the motions through my head
you know that I’m thinking, I’m thinking…
and I have reasons to believe that I’m not the only
one you spend this time with, but I’ll stay…

[Chorus]
You say, you’re weak,
you wont let me down [x2]
you lie through your teeth
you smile in your sleep [x2]

When we met you said we were the same, you know
that we’re different, we’re different,
and all the times you promised me that everything would
work out in the end, you were gravely mistaken

[Chorus]

You lie [x4], you lie through your teeth
you wont let me down, you lie
I deserve better than this
I dream of steel.
Maroon and warm, your end.
You gasp for air. I’ll see this through,
I’ll see through you, your pale blue eyes.

When you’re lying in your bed, your eulogy’s been read
You know that it’s fitting, you lie.

[Chorus]

You smile [x4] I deserve better than this
