I have not lost my way
Against the heavy tides of normalcy
Some faces fade
And still I carry on into the day
Don’t want to see the end I know
It takes so much to not let go
Don’t want to carry on alone
But time will take what’s owed
This time is all I have
I don’t ask for much and likely need much less
I’d rather die
Than see my life turned grey by thoughts that bind
I don’t know why things seem so faint
I speak aloud but no one can hear me
For just one word I’d do anything
Because this silence has become more than I can take
I want to see into your eyes
I want to feel the blood that flows
I want to know again the life I left behind
I want to hear you speak my name
I want to feel you at my side
I want to follow you to where I was before
I can’t go on much longer like this
The pain of the forgotten can not be healed
As another day goes by
In my silent prison cell
Another year is lost
As I pray to end this hell
Here I walk forever more, forever dying
I want to see life through your eyes
I want to sleep and never wake
When will the walls fall down into the earth?
I watched the end
I watched the virus take them one by one
I saw them rise
To walk the night in hunger ever more
I am alone
A walking legend, proof of what’s gone by
And I live to fight
I’ll take them down until my final cry
Destroy!
I am the Last man
Well I’ve never been accused of being a good man
And the roads I’ve walked you wouldn’t want to see
And I don’t look to God to find forgiveness
For a demon walks this lonely road with me
I can’t find a better way
If I can’t find the light of day
Well I once knew love when I was just a young man
And this girl became the whole damned world to me
But in my devil’s eyes a lie was hidden
And so I spilt her blood while she lay there asleep
Well if I’ve killed once I’ve killed a hundred times
But I’d guess that most of them deserved their fate
Some nights I swear that I can hear the dead ones screaming
From far below the waters black and deep
The rising tide brings the end of life
As the rising tide brings the end of a day
Graves, another empty grave, the dead rose up and made their way
Into the waking world
Dead, another walking dead, stumbles through the foggy streets
Toward the human screams
Words have little meaning now, the hordes have killed all in their way
The future never came
Time, another age is born, the few survivors live in fear
For the fight is lost
And I feel there’s no more time for us
When hell is full the dead will walk the earth
Darkness comes like fear into the waiting world tonight
I watch the full moon gather through the black clouds in the sky
Another dim-lit room with staring shadows all around
I sit and wait for them to change with bloodshed on my mind
The air is filled with screams tonight
The air is filled with madness
I will fight until they claim my life
I have become what I despise
They watch me still with cat-like eyes that see into my thoughts
The moon is creeping higher through the heavy, stagnant air
Soon the change will happen and I’ll let my silver fly
My judgment falls, a heavy fist, until Death takes my life
I look into my past to find the reasons why I’m left alone
My heaven, will be revenge for those I’ve lost to them
I can’t find my way, I fear I’ve gone too far
The war is done but my struggle’s just begun
I can’t feel my hands, the weather’s turning harsh
I travel on beneath the ash that falls like snow
An endless night,
Into an age when time has died
All that remains is the want to survive
Wander through decay
I step through the ruin of all I’ve known
Gone is the sun
Gone is our hope today
The sky above is grey as far as I can see
And I’m so cold, I know that I can’t walk much more
I think I’ll rest a while though I may not wake
But I can’t care, all those I’ve loved have long been dead
Everything is rising again
The things I thought were dead
The past is trying to breath
To tear apart this life
Everything is dying away
Against my dying will
Against my dying cries
The world is turning red
I see no pain
I feel no pain
Until the end
To wake beneath the rain
I know nothing lasts so long
My patience waits
I feel no remorse
I know no pain
Beneath this, beneath this there once was hope
There once was warmth
Just one word, just one prayer is all I need
To save me from myself
I want nothing more than this
All my life I’ve been waiting
I want something more than this
All this time I’ve been waiting
Into my eyes, another storm
Watch as the hours pass me by
Rain is coming down
It’s just one heartbeat away
Watch as the days go by
As another sun sets in my eyes
As another morning calls
My heartbeat fades
I am undone
Here is life
It's not that I don’t care, it's that I can’t remember
A time before
A life went passing by me leaving so many questions
Here is life
And what I’ve lost means more with every passing moment
The sands within are growing thin
And still I search to find a reason why
As the reasons die
Hold on to life
Watch the ending rise
I for an I
Here lies trust
Beneath a static sky foundations shift and crumble
As life stands still
Grasping at some faint remembrance left to guide us
Here is life
A frozen moment shines into a life suspended
Like dying light
It lingers long into the dark night’s never ending skies
With you I find the need
The need for something more
To last this fragile night
Into the dawn
Trace my steps and watch that you might find
Some piece of me that’s lost
The way is not so far
Though not so close as home…
A single light still shines at night to speak your name
And the miles go by like years on this old road
And though I’m tired I cannot stop to rest my eyes
For the wheels, they turn like time
In my mind you’re always somewhere just ahead
Looking back to hear the words that went unsaid
As the miles roll by in silence all the while
I feel your presence at my side
No need for words, time moves on
If in the end there’s something more
All this will seem strange and small
Hope in the end is something more
The ice runs on for miles
With solitude so close
We end another day
And stars light up the skies
So lay your hand in mine
Your head upon my arm
The stars, they burn like eyes
The stars all burn for us
Come stand by me, laughter calls and drives the wind
It binds us close alone but for
The sparks of heaven's smile
Knowing you're here I will carry on with you
To walk the world, through heavens gate
We'll shine and light the sky
We have come so far, yet there is far to go
Still the stars burn bright; still our eyes burn true
And as the worlds we walk alone
And as the stars, we will never fade
I cannot sleep alone again
For my fears are gaining
I hear a cry, it sounds so faint
But I know it won’t be long
With her voice something old
Echoes through the evening
And all is still beside my heart
And all that’s left is waiting
In the mist she sways
Forever pale, forever grey
(Into the night she’s calling)
My terror grows and I can’t see
Through the fog so thick outside
I lay so still with eyes held wide
Counting minutes ‘til the dawn
She peers inside, her laughter screams
As she scratches at the door
I lay so still with death in sight
As the rain begins to fall
And the thunder roars like hell
Through the world tonight
The one who should not be
Is closing in
And the door now opens wide
Her footsteps can be heard
The one who should not live
Is just outside
They seem so far
The days when we first met
Two years have passed
So much has changed around us
In my life you are a ray of light
Tonight if I should die
Hold my heart within your eyes
I still recall
Your face from so long ago
Two voices spoke
Of hope from a distant place
And still this day
Your eyes flow like the sea
In my life you are the stars that shine
Tonight if I should die
Lay me by the water side
When you are lost I will be there waiting for you
All this time everything felt so real as
All this time everything passed away
Another world crashes through the night
And another world fades away leaving dust in its darkness
I’ll find another way if I am still alive
And I will lift my head toward the sky
To find my way
I fought so hard just to see what was real
Or just to prove what I wanted to believe
Another year crashes through my mind
As another thought carries all that is lost to an ending
In this place the winds blow colder
And the nights are long
I fear your life will soon be over
Like a fading song
The cries, a scream to reach the sky
Will we all die before the sun can rise?
I hear their cries…
And your face seems somehow altered
Something swims below
If I live to be much older
I fear I’ll be alone
For your stare speaks something so insane
And I know you won’t be saved tonight
I am the end
I am the past again
I watched a dead world falling down
I walk a path defined by death and fire
To watch this planet burn
I wake to find life and death are one
The dreams of man are realized
I am the seed
I am all evil born
Into a world of lies
I am the reason for your death and
I am the on to cast you aside for
I am the future and the past now
Another season lost to time
I’ll watch this planet burn
Die!
Standing high above the crawling wasted world
Another day goes by and still we carry on
Run another stretch of road that knows no end
Watch the fires burn beneath the blackened sky
Standing high above the crawling wasted world
Look close as cities fall,
Stark white the bombs explode
And we carry on, and still the story goes,
For there is no end, no shelter from this age
Bright the running lights remind me of my home
But blackened steel and bitter dust still call my heart
Shadowed hands tight beneath the blackened sky
Shadowed words hold true and
Nothing stands as strong before this storm
As life is so short and tomorrow might not come for us
I will not fall, no pain can hold, and still I have a smile
In a world decayed we walk against the fall
Watching as the past burns down, and future builds a future bold
I live to breathe, to feel As real
for death looks on an ever changing world
In their eyes we see the dawn fall to the day
Whispered fears cast light against the
gathered grey
In their minds our time is lost and ever still
They will see where horror lies
Demons come
Through the fire and hell of other planes to claim their own
The years of pain are cast into the grave
Far away I hear their cries and I carry on to
see them dead
To grasp this chance within my hands tonight
Demons come
They crawl into the world
So alone demons come
They crawl into the night
In the cold
Red-black mists of death sigh names
forgotten to the wind
They all see darkness through the failing light
In my rage I am the storm
I am the lost; I am the one
To see an end to all that could have been
Dig the grave with sweat and spade
To the ground the truth is laid
Now watch the storm that follows
Don't look into our eyes or you
May rise up to find the day
So bright and yet so hollow
We stand We fight We move
Into the night
We are the death of legends
We stand so black in grief
Of what has passed
We owe the world no debt
Living ends with shattered bones
Across the cemetery roam
Into the grey-lit twilight
And from the soil another cries
To pierce the dark against the lies
And never see them falter
We wander from the grave
With grey and clouded eyes
And death is overcome
As a world of blood is born
There's no love and all I see is hunger
Life fades away from the jaded world
And so they fall before the fallen
Who cannot die, we cannot die away
There is a house that lays
On cemetery lane
And there a life was lived
A life of loss and pain
Dream of nights that faded fast
For the end is drawing near
And the light of day can't save you now
For the fallen have no fear
| The Coffin Don't Want Me (And She Don't Either) |
|
I woke up dead to find that everything
had changed
The world's a bitter place so grey and cold
Has it always been this way
So now I hunger seems I'm in the mood
for brains
But blood and guts will do for a day or two as I make my way to you
In a daze I stumble from the coffin wood
Toward the cities' hazy eyes that shine so bright
Such blinded fools they wander void of
fear in life
Tonight they find in me the darker side of night
I hear your heart but find that you are not alone
I stumble through the door and down the hall
To where you slept before
My dead eyes find you with another and I see
I've been replaced by someone else's arms though
I've been dead but three weeks
Dead eyes stair as hunger builds
Destroy destroy
They'll find a sanguine house of death when morning calls
The slaughter ends as on the other I will
feast this night
Oh yeah
The second life begins
Join me tonight
Time to find the world again
The motives seem so grim
Watching from this distant place
From within
A feeling from a time before
When nothing seemed so grey
Watch the pictures fade…
Can I find another life before the colors die away?
Like spirits in our eyes
Can I find another path before the last light dies away?
To live another day
Time crashes from the sky again
To wash away the rain
I stare into the setting sun
Until it falls away
What is left is everything
Or everything to me
As I watch the evening fade
The end is not the end
I know that hands move through my sleep
The air seems cold and thin
This fog won’t lift with morning’s light
Time is lost to time
The songs will play until they die
Fear will feed our fear
As footsteps echo through the silence
Then, between the hours
A chime rings out to still our hearts
Cold, the air’s so cold
The questions rise in every eye
Stare into the night
Waiting for a sign of morning
Shades shift before our tired eyes
Stare into the night
The end is near
Shades shift before our tired eyes
An ending falls so quiet now
The words we spoke cannot be found
The moments lost still carry on
In unseen worlds before the dawn
And children say that through the night
That one can see a ghostly light
Within the halls of this dark place
Where none have walked for many days
Where has the warmth within your voice gone?
It seems your care has died away
I wander through a thousand questions
Never knowing what to say
Lift your palms your hands are soiled
And guilt now lights your eyes
Will I know or will I wonder
The voice of severed ties?
Years will pass and you’ll remember
All that died within your grasp
And I’ll be gone; you’ll sleep uneasy
Upon a bed built of regret
You won’t forget the loss of passion
As the past sleeps in your mind
Years will pass and you’ll be searching
For things you’ll never find
See our dreams now fade away
Call to the time that we would have shared
See our hopes now fade to grey
Look to the emptiness by your side
Beneath the days there lies indifference
Your smile can’t retract the lies
And my nights will find their comfort
In the knowledge that I tried
Were your words always so empty?
Have I been blinded by your light?
My doubts were real from the beginning
Unlike the final tears you cried
I trace your lies, something untrue
Swam deep within your eyes
Was another waiting there in my place tonight?
You will regret all that you’ve done
As the one you lost seems cold
Let your tears fall fast to fill your empty heart
Pray for day, pray for day
Hope that hope will shine again
Through the fog of loss that haunts your thoughts at night
I awaken from a seamless sleep
A shock of breath revives all that was lost
Another day, another fear, another hope dissolves
Like mists at dawn
See a time that cannot mend
Thought patterns search to find an end
Dead worlds cast shadows through the cold
Logic… logic… logic… logic
This conviction lights my eyes
I watch another shifting life go by
And lucid dreams will see this order fall
Logic… logic… What’s left? What’s left?
Everything seems still now; silence falls
Hopeless words are spoken through the void
Another step, another fear, another want is gone
As the moment dawns
Everyone is still now; silence falls
Echoes carry through the blue-lit halls
Another pause, another sigh, another life is spawned
As the answers drown
I’ve waited long
For a day
That I pray will come to me
I want nothing more
My needs are small
As you rest here at my side
Sleep another hour dear just close your eyes
For the time is fading quickly from our sight
And whispers after midnight echo ‘til the dawn
So hold close my dear until the night is gone
I love you now
As I will
When the longest day is through
Know this is true
Place all of your trust
Within this one who lives for you
As the rain washes distance from her voice
Something stirs beneath us
And hope awakens to the calm
In the depth of her eyes a promise sleeps
Resting soft, unspoken
In dormant dreams as blue as dawn
May sees the first light shine again
Into a night without an end
And through the years one night remains
As clear as trust beneath the rain
And the fear echoes deep within the heart
As I tempt Forever
To find her way into my arms
With the dark comes another sleepless night
Longing for the moment
That two will stand against the world
In your eyes see this life
Please don’t turn away tonight
Or ever more
Let us cry; let us try
We are one within the night
And ever more
We are one, you and I
Please don’t turn away tonight
Or ever more
And this silence is her life
Falling fast into the dark November sky
Over voices she shall cry
Soundless screams are felt before the sun can rise
Hear her voice as strong as steel
Speaking long dead names to keep the evening still
In her heart rests all of time
Trapped for now in faith that death is still alive
To the fields and seas again
Without sight we wander through the haze of this dark land
In a dream she gently cries
In a tear her story falls to find the floor
And she speaks before she goes away
“Carry on my friend, but leave me not alone”
‘Til the reign of sleep again
Without sight we wander through the haze of this dark land
To the fields and seas again
Without sight she wanders through the haze of this lost land
To the seas again
‘Til we find our lives again
And the night is crashing hard against the farthest shore
Like the living dead crawl through the soil
To shake the death from weary souls
Twilight cries as the sin within beats like a cold heart dying
The living cringe as the end begins
And the outside air smells like a tomb
The graveyard earth is thrown aside
As futures crumble
Let the rain begin
The chaos calls through their broken, vacant eyes
Our lives are lost
Let the rain begin
The ending sits as a king of rest and pain
As lives are lost within the newfound end
Like the walking dead they move through the streets
To shake the hope from fallen dreams
An angel screams as the walls collapse to bury unlived lifetimes
Here I lie among the ruins
Watching now a lifetime buried
Who will care that footsteps fell here?
Who will haunt the emptied halls?
Never cast your eyes away
Peer into the sky and follow
Never cast your eyes away
Whisper to the sky one final prayer
And another stone comes crashing
To the floor of scattered glass
As a blade shines red with anger
Through the sinking hope tonight
With a flag held close against me
Her glory rests its weary head
Soft upon my tired shoulder
Dreaming lore of brighter days
Hold close to me and find your sleep
Time it moved so slowly
As if there were no end
Hold close to me in final sleep
Time will move so slowly
As if there were no end
Your name will echo still
And his voice again
Calls through the silent night to find me waking softly
From dreams that fell to far
So she turns away
A fog of tears grey with confusion at her side
Where emptiness shall lie
As her eyes set with the sun
I will hope again
And this age-old song plays on
I will hope again
And the softest sound
Of a love that lives alone within her heart
Shall sing forever more
In the still of night
See our breath as spirits dancing through the cold
To hold the moment’s grace
And his words are the rain
Which fall into my life
Through the years as tears are left behind
To the edge of time we’re holding on to faith
This day will carry on
No matter what shall come
“I want to feel”
I’ll follow you
Touch me and you’ll know that I am real
Turn to face me and you’ll see
Your reflection cast into my glassy eyes
This flesh becomes your own
As the day becomes the dark
And the dark becomes the end of what we knew
With the loss I find the way
To the edge of faith again
I wonder if your thoughts are with me tonight
And the words can’t end today
So I speak aloud your name
To fill a space that longs for just one more night
I’ll find my way
I will not be lost
Find the days and nights are slipping far and fast
For now the hands won’t wait for long
Turning now against the wants that rest inside
Find the days are slipping fast
And the sands are getting low
As I reach to find a shred of hope tonight
Watch the grey die away
While the world is standing still
I reach for memories of home
See our fate needs just faith
To last the bitter days
Into such better times ahead
And the night shall cry
For her heart belongs to day
And the tears she knows shall not fade
And so winds will speak his name
Whispered soft and carried far
To a place where dreams find their deaths among the stars
Time will never fade
Will I never see your face
In the light of years?
Free from evening’s sorrow
Let this pendant hold your gaze
Comfort lies within
Memories of our times gone
Careless words were spent
Careless arms once held you near
Have I always known this would be our end?
Snow obscures the earth just as time obscures the past
Details fade away
Visions fill the sky with ash… and fall away
Her faded fears fall through the night
To find me where I lay
Through the years we wandered through the darkest days
Her faded sight…
In her eyes I’ll never follow
Fall into my arms again and say…
Never go away
Never fade again…
Her crystal tears, I never needed more
Fall into my arms again my friend
Turn your face against the day
See my hopes into the grave
Force this silence from your life
Into my eyes
Strange, the reasons that we met
Stranger now the ending rests
In a place where fires burn
Forever more
I die for you each day
As I scream aloud your name
As nothing seems the same
Without you tonight
I scream aloud your name
As nothing seems the same
And nothing seems so clear
As your eyes tonight
And you follow as I go
Leaving life and death behind
For our paths were meant to cross
Just one last time
But Christina I can’t die
Though the hours pass too slowly
And I feel so all alone
Without you here
Nothing seems so clear tonight beside your eyes
And sleep won’t last too long
Nothing seems so clear tonight within my thoughts
And sleep won’t last too long
As morning calls
