1. MORPHIA

(instrumental)


2. CRIMSON TEARS

Take my hand and walk with me
beyond this masquerade.
I offer you a chance to dwell
where seas of red cascade.

chorus:
wretched hands grasp the soul.
poison laughter centuries old.
crimson tears fall from your eyes
as your spirit slowly dies

I will follow where you lead
my soul is yours to take.
But promise me you'll still be near
perchance I shall awake.

(repeat chorus)

Come closer my child,
let me gaze upon your light.
Your eyes are filled with innocence
though still concealed by night.

(repeat chorus)


3. RITES OF PASSAGE

See the sullen skies of gray
These are dark and dismal days
Salvations final plea
Where's the light that shines for me

On the wings of suicide
There's a part of me that died
It lies deep within
The shadows of my mind

I hear voices all around me
Whispers turn into screams
No one knows the places I have seen
Lost in this recurring dream

I want to know the reason why
Everyone was born to die
It lies deep within
The shadows of my mind


4. RISE ABOVE

Rise above this world of hate
Blinded eyes will seal your fate
I can see reality
And the future frightens me

Emptiness inside your head
Living off the lies you're fed
Programmed by society
Don't decide what's right for me


5. LORD OF SORROW

Blackened is this heart of mine,
pain is all I feel.
Death can be a state of mind,
wounds that never heal.

just a painful memory
forcing me to see.
All the pain and misery
that lives inside of me.

chorus:
lord of sorrow
hollow be my name.
stained glass savior
thy kingdom never came.

All the colors in my mind
have slowly turned to gray.
Search for answers I can't find
drifting day to day.

Broken window to a dream
searching endlessly.
Drowning in a lake of tears
wash away my fears.

(repeat chorus)
(repeat first verse)


6. SERPENTS PATH

Father of creation
now bows his head in shame.
Paradise is burning
and we're the ones to blame.

The end is fast approaching,
apocalypse is here.
The sun no longer rises
as judgment day draws near.

chorus:
I gave you sanctity,
you brought down fire and wrath.
I gave you purity,
you chose the serpents path.

Politicians scheming
to get out while they still can.
Safe behind their castle walls,
they watch the fall of man.

(repeat chorus)

Sifting through the ruins
a child cries alone.
They're the ones who suffer
it's we who must atone.

(repeat chorus)
