Desperate 09:37
Hear me O' Lord For I am in distress Let my cry for help Reach your ear My days they vanish like smoke My bones burn like glowing embers My heart withers away like grass I mingle my drink with tears Look down Rebuild Hear the groans of the destitute And not despise their plea Terrifying seraphic Celestial sacrosanct Devoid of you I am counterfeit Odious, I am profoundly depraved Vehemently desolate Hollow transcendent empyrean The yearning of my soul is dire Breath of violent wind divine Consecrated in sacred fire

For You 04:42
Vapor and dust A memory A haunting dream Unreality A ring of brass To hear my cry Shadow of hope Embracing Tearing at my heart Why won't it fade Stabbing at my chest Never goes away I, I long for you I wait for you Only your touch Can heal this cold Frozen shadows fall A field of gray Memorizing How did it get this way Will I come to know Joy so true Quickly come Heal me soon I, I long for you I wait for you Only your touch Can heal this cold I long for you I wait for you Only your touch Can heal this cold

The emptiness greets a shadows embrace Whispers softly through darkness Pain of memories left undone Agony of words left unsaid Father can you hear my prayers Please set me free from despair Watch the wither taking place in my heart Cause there's nowhere else but down from here And I cannot hear your voice, please speak to me again Staring in silence at her grave Reflecting back on the night it came Death claimed her soul, she was lost Horror reached in to claim my truth Oh, my beloved one, I don't understand How could you destroy our lives In death, should I join you? Then, can we be reconciled... Cause I cannot take this pain in my heart Father can you hear my prayers Please set me free from my despair Watch the wither taking place in my heart Cause there's nowhere else but down from here And I cannot hear your voice, please speak to me again Speak to me again...

Shadows 07:18
In the words of his mama, "He was my only son." In the words of his sister, "He was on the run." In the words of his girl, "How could it end this way?" In the words of his daddy, "He never had much to say." Goodbye Kathy and goodbye Mom, there's voices in my head Angeldust and tortured dreams say I'd be better dead You, you chased the shadows Because your hopes and dreams have been lost to the night (x2) Hey, Billy, did you hear the news? Johnny's gone for good They say his mama's all broke up They found him in the woods Kathy just couldn't understand Sheriff, he just looked tired Some will play and some will pay And Johnny played with fire Goodbye Kathy and goodbye Mom, there's voices in my head Angeldust and tortured dreams say I'd be better dead You, you chased the shadows Because your hopes And dreams have been lost to the night (x2) Johnny's dead and buried now out on the edge of town Drove by his grave the other day, that's when the fear came down I hate the night that took his life, but now it's haunting me I may be young, may be confused, but I gotta be free God, are you there, can you hear me now? Show me how to cope Lost in the dark on a dead end road Please save me from myself Oh Lord, you, you took the shadows Took all my fears and doubt and brought me out of the night Lord, you, you took the shadows Took all my fears and doubt an brought me into the light Lord, you, you take the shadows You are my hope and love, you turned my darkness to light Lord, you, you take the shadows Took all my fears and doubt and brought me into the light

Wither 06:28
Empty is all I am Break the skin Death come in I cannot stand bleeding away Bring me back to life Surround me with light Though I'm afraid I want to come home She turns the page reading the book she authored of her life Confronted by so many regrets and Heartache in her soul Betrayal came, leaving her cold She aches to end her strife Just leave me be, the damage done, the pain taken toll Leave me in solitude, one more thought I cannot bear To all the pain I feel inside this season soon must end The leaves are turning, cold and dread A life distrought, darkness ascends I feel the void, oh Lord, please mend these wounds He turns the page reading the book he authored of his life From day to day the rituals repeat, the emptiness of time Can't understand, desolation, faith meets knife such is the state Fallen humanity witnessing decline Empty is all I am Break the skin Death come in Leave me in solitude, one more thought I cannot bear To all the pain I feel inside this season soon must end The leaves are turning, cold and dread A life distrought, darkness ascends I feel the void, oh Lord, please mend these wounds Deliver me, I need your love Bring me back to life, oh Lord Surround me with light I'm afraid, and I want to come home Don't leave me in despair One more thought I cannot bear To all the pain I feel inside This season soon must end (2x) Don't leave me in despair One more thought I cannot bear...

I'd Die 05:21
To sit in darkness holding remains Of what was once my heart I remember life, reduced to nothing Infuriate me, yet, I come back for more Alone with nightmares Killing you, killing me Feel the pull every direction When it comes to her I am so weak I'd die to hold you I live to see you I long to feel you Killing you, killing me, killing you I got lost in her eyes The moon stole a kiss I almost died, she returned it I can still hear her breathing Even when she is gone I can still hear her calling From the dusk to the dawn I'd die to hold you I live to see you I long to feel you Killing you, killing me, killing you Bathe in the writhing Flames of my heart Witness my misery Still in the dark I'd die to hold you I live to see you I long to feel you Killing you, killing me, killing you I've died to hold you I've died to see you I've died to feel you Killing you, killing me Killing you, killing me Killing you...

What would you think - If you saw All of the things - I am capable of What would you think - if I said I was afraid - and I was full of doubt What would you say - if you saw All of the filth - that I've been thinking of What would you say - if I said I didn't care what you were telling me It's just that I don't seem to know what I ought to believe Whatever you say - is what I want to see Whatever you say - is what I want to believe Whatever you say - is what I want to see Whatever you say - is what I want to believe What would you think - if I said I wasn't sure - if I was hearing you What would you think - if I said I was starting to lean towards your compassion So can you help me to know what I ought to believe? Whatever you say - is what I want to see Whatever you say - is what I want to believe Whatever you say - is what I want to see Whatever you say - is what I want to believe Teach me to separate The oppression of men from the grace of God

White Throne 06:58
A time shall come to pass The journey will end at last Fear and trembling - the great unknown The earth and sky fled from sight And with no place to hide, Behold the rising of the dead The day will come God among us End of sorrows before the great white throne The books will be opened wide As well as the Book of Life Judgment hath commensed, As sorrow gives birth to dread For the grave must give up the dead Subjected to finality The day will come God among us Sorrows end before the great white throne Souls in despair lost to deception Come forth out of darkness, be made new in his light. We all shall stand before the great white throne Humanity subjected to its finality Drink of the blood, for the blood is the life Death and the Grave swallowed up in eternity The day will come God among us Sorrows will end before the great white throne

Here, at the end of all my time What is this that I now find? All I've come to believe is false There is no punishment waiting Wisdom and folly Are the only Standard by which I am judged Broken, broken I find I simply did not kneel...
