Standing on the backs of angels Destined to create Mounting the attack While heroes carry your weight
We spiral towards disaster Survival fading faster
Riding out the wave Content to feed off the machine Bleeding us to death The new American dream
You're blinded by your hunger Beware your days are numbered
Tears fall from the shameless Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water Selfless are the righteous Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
Blurring lines drawn in between What is right and what is wrong Victims on the paradae arer stringing us along
We're on to your agenda The dead end road to nowhere
Tears fall from the shameless Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water Selfless are the righteous Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
Tears fall from the shameless Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water Selfless are the righteous Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter Selfless are the righteous Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
Today I will be your saviour Tomorrow a demon You crave my erratic behaviour And watch my every move
Obsession at all costs You'll be the death of me Broken and torn apart Why can't you let me be?
You build me up You break me down Until I'm falling to pieces I crash and burn I never learn I'm your guilty addiction
Build me up Break me down
Tonight I am the new messiah You defy When I'm no longer desired I'll be crucified
When I'm no longer desired I'll be crucified
The one who's free from sin The first to cast the stone Fighting the fear within I won't be left alone You build me up You break me down Until I'm falling to pieces The price I pay To live this way And the fantasy stays alive I can't live up I can't let down And leave you falling to pieces I crash and burn I never learn I'm your morbid obsession
Build me up Break me down
I will be a saviour
You build me up You break me down Until I'm falling to pieces The price I pay To live this way And the fantasy stays alive I can't live up I can't let down And leave you falling to pieces I crash and burn I never learn Your iconic fixation
Build me up Break me down Build me up Break me down
I am not immortal I am just a man A power-craving tyrant Beyond the shadows in the sand
Men have come to fear me Many bow and cry Known across the desert I am the one who will not die
I have faced the demons of our most desperate moments I have been the one to defend our pride I have worn the banner of my abandoned brothers I will be the first one to give my life
Lost not forgotten Reigning against the odds Feared and respected living among the gods Leading the empire Spirit as black as coal Lost not forgotten King of the deathless soul
An epic novel no one's read Pages torn and faded The greatest story never told
Behold the kingdom I possess Land of wealth and beauty Where the streets are paved with gold
Once fearless and brave A realm passed away The ghosts of yesterday
Lost not forgotten Reigning against the odds Feared and respected living among the gods Leading the empire Spirit as black as coal Lost not forgotten King of the deathless soul
Lost not forgotten Reigning against the odds Feared and respected living among the gods Leading the empire Brutal and heartless Vanishing further Into the darkness Lost not forgotten King of the deathless soul
In the heart of your most solemn barren night When your soul's turned inside out Have you questioned all the madness you invite What your life is all about
Some of us choose to live gracefully Some can get caught in the maze And lose their way home This is the life we belong to Our gift divine
Have you ever wished that you were someone else Traded places in your mind It's only a waste of your time
Some of us choose to live gracefully Some can get caught in the maze And lose their way home This is the life we belong to Our gift divine
Feed the illusion you dream about Cast out the monsters inside
Life begins with an empty slate Fragile left in the hands of fate Driven by love and crushed by hate Until the day The gift is gone And shadows remain
Some of us choose to live gracefully Some can get caught in the maze And lose their way home Memories will fade Time races on What will they say After you're gone This is the life we belong to Our gift divine Our gift divine
Blackness awakens Visions come alive Seeing through darkness With Borrowed eyes
Death survivor Take me higher Reunite my soul
Whisperer of truth I trust in you To make me whole
Sun Come shine my way May healing waters bury all my pain
Wind Carry me home The fabric of reality is tearing apart The piece of me that died Will return To live again

And at last the Time has come To unite again as one To the power of the Earth I'm calling Crossing bridges in the sky On a journey to renew my life Shaman take my hand

Somewhere overhead Distant thunder roars The revolution has begun The war to end all wars
As I welcome death I hear the b.attle cry Bullets fall like fire Raining from the sky
The rebel in us all Someday gets tired of being pushed around But freedom has a price The cost is buried in the ground
We suffered far too long We gather now growing stronger We will not be ignored Anymore any longer Our anthem will guide us
Rise up, be counted Stand strong and unite Wait for the outcry Resistance is calling tonight
Far too many years Of chaos and unrest Far too many voices Brutally suppressed
We fight for what is just For all that we believe We fight till death or glory Fight to be set free
The streets are bathed in blood Time to step down and time to walk away You'll never rule me now Though you may stand upon my grave
You can look the other way Or you can face the light Although it seems so far away Freedom's worth the fight
Rise up, be counted Stand strong and unite Wait for the outcry Resistance is calling
Rise up, be counted Stand strong and unite Wait for the outcry Resistance is calling tonight
The world watches on While we risk our lives Locked in a kingdom of fear As our children die
No one truly has the answer Every day I struggle through it once more Keep things bottled up Never speaking my mind Misinterpreted I'm doing just fine
Every day I Put a brave face on Serves me well Feeling helpless Facing it alone Hard to tell That I Can't change who I am How I feel There's no end
I have done What you asked of me Leaves me nothing to live for
Coming undone Way too high a price I should pay You keep your pride While I die inside Every day No I Can't lie anymore Won't pretend I've done All I can
You can't imagine The hell I'm going through Not asking you to save me I'm too far from Heaven
Nothing you can do To change me But accept me as I am
With the sun in place There's a test of faith Streams of thought awaken
New realities Singularities Breaking all illusions
Sudden burst of heat Burning source of life Masterful destruction
Power's not an act It's understanding truth Changing my direction
Live in the moment Breathe in a new beginning Wisdom revealed As I unlearn to learn
Life's biggest battles Often are fought alone My spirit brings me home
Emerald thoughts flow Through my consciousness Drawn to curses left behind Test of will the threshold to one's faith Starts a fire in the mind
Searching out Reaching in To arrive Where I began Sights remembered In the light
Searching out Reaching in To arrive Where I began Sounds remembered Come alive
Embrace the days Don't turn away Life's true intent needs patience Karma starts the signal
Is there ever really a right time You had led me to believe Someday you'd be there for me
When the stars above aligned When you weren't so consumed I kept looking for the clues
So I waited in the shadows of my heart And still the time was never right
Until one day I stopped caring And began to forget why I longed to be so close And I disappeared into the darkness And the darkness turned to pain And never went away Until all that remained Was buried deep beneath the surface
A shell of what things could have been Tired bones beneath a veil of guarded secrets all too frail Sad to think I never knew You were searching for the words For the moment to emerge
Yet the moment never came You couldn't risk my fragile frame
Until one day I stopped caring And began to forget why I longed to be so close And I disappeared into the darkness And the darkness turned to pain And never went away Until all that remained Was buried deep beneath the surface
I would scream just to be heard As if yelling at the stars I was bleeding just to feel
You would never say a word Kept me reaching in the dark Always something to conceal
Until one day I stopped caring And began to forget why I longed to be so close And I disappeared into the darkness And the darkness turned to pain And never went away Until all that remained Was buried deep beneath the surface
