Another Haunting Sorrow 07:52
lyrics
you lay your neck upon the guillotine before the dying king two many nights couldnt stop the screaming I am the storm coming retched frozen place witness time displaced legion of its slaves spreads its sickness over and over cradle of the grave just a little pain before you die reaching for the sky a world you cannot save all that you believe every thing a lie over and over cradle of the grave just another pain before you die ten million eyes watch the fall of eden what else will go away? reaching for the sky with broken bloody hands and bound and bended knees watch them die over and over cradle of the grave just a broken soul before you die reaching for the sky a world you cannot save all that you believe every thing a lie over and over cradle of the grave just a loving pain before you die

Dying Planet 04:56
lyrics
Open up your eyes take a look outside burning seas and acid skies whats it gonna take better pray its not too late to stop this world from suicide we are all to blame we gave this place its name we live or die here just the same war is all we know we'll never live to grow if we just stand and watch the earth die Victimized terrorized hiding the truth between the lies burning rain and freezing sand leaders rule with toxic hands Play their deadly game live or die its all the same your just a number your not a name reality still dies counting off the lives locked directly between your eyes there's no place left to hide once all the world has died keep looking behind the wall of lies I know we all feel pain some how were all the same no one gets off this soul parade dont waste this life you dont get to live it twice you carry the strength inside dont count the suicides swim through the red tides and out into the universe

City of the Damned 06:58
lyrics
far across the sea in the city of the damned there lies a fallen king who rules a pile of sand through cruel intimidation abducted opposition death squad executions he breaks them from ascension the scientists obey him and craft a deadly bomb to keep the population chained where they belong a desperate decision vendetta of grand scale the dark device was stolen and set off in betrayal fourty million light years the flash caught their attention massive timeless beings from an atomic dimension by folding darkened matter the faceless creatures travel flying back through time to catch the fatefull crime they wait in patient silence and watch with knowing eyes to capture distant science like a spider catches flies the pulse spread out in waves and froze all within its grasp it holds in time forever the city of the damned

This House 06:00
lyrics
welcome home the only place youve ever known through these walls of bone in this castle of broken stone where every time you cry they lead you in to die over and dont ask why just like a thousand lullabies where underneath your skin a monster lies within the walls are paper thin the ghosts that haunt are in come inside well read beneath the dying the ghosts are crawling through not a one is left but you where everytime you slide you will never know ask why your eyes are open wide to read this pack of lies well you gave me nothing new the screams are only you theyre all that I can find these dreams are open wide Come on in these walls are paper thin their stained with lives of sin theyre loneliness within the sea keeps crashing down the rain falls all around eroding at your feet what lies beneath the seas you can never see the mind you even need know why? radioactive sighs follow those goodbyes welcome home

Michaela's Poem 04:33
lyrics
The people knock on doors of steel The people knock, the people kneel They think of things that aren't real Outside the doors of steel. The people walk, the people know That outside those doors The people know The people think that you may say The people think that they, too, may They lack the confidence you have They think it's real, the dreams you have The dreams they feel. http://www.news10.net/news/story.aspx?storyid=66992

The Abyss 05:30
lyrics
Into the Abyss I fall beneath the gallows pole under the blackened water into the sand I boil clouds crystalize like diamonds clawing into my eyes clawing into my eyes the smell of burning flesh cuts into my soul dead may walk the desert but the living walk this hell clouds crystallize like devils clawing into my eyes clawing into my eyes into the abyss i fall into the living hell beneath the blackened waters only the demons dwell clouds crystallize like diamonds clawing into my eyes clawing into my eyes warring and slaughter reaching for every breath rain and chewed on up this life thats stained into the breath moment by moment we walk on clawing into my eyes clawing into my eyes into the abyss i fall rounding for every corner deep in the dark i toil lights flash in time i see them clawing into my eyes clawing into my eyes into the abyss i fall down in the devils court reaching through all the holes back and forth and inside out theyre clawing into my eyes clawing into my eyes

Bend 05:32
lyrics
I shall seize Fate by the throat; it shall certainly not bend and crush me completely. ~Ludwig van Beethoven

Space Monkey 05:56
lyrics
I woke this morning I had somebody elses face I cant remember how Id gotten into this place all I remember was the last time I dreamt of you and all the broken faded dreams that I thought were true I dont believe Its just not real I cant believe every day it tears away my mental frames And every time you tell them takes some time away I only did it so the pain would stay away two years of faded splintered mind funk filled with haze Im just not here the chimp is fried deep down inside yesterday they found a way to send you away theyll suit you up and shoot you out into distant space If you come back youll know that nothing you knew was real just a space monkey who took the purple pill
