1. PILLARS

Falling under the power thumb
Hypnotized, make you numb
All you once knew is useless
Believed this power, would protect us

Defence is weakening
Hope is seeking
You cant to leave, you just can't
Anxiousness and paranoia set in
Feelings that won't let go

Riding the moments of life
Etching through this pain of mine
Consequences, each day passing
Nothing more to this
Can't bear this any longer
Cloudy skies murk the soul
We must get away
Just get away

Point the finger that marks you
Blame others for the wrongs you did
Anger, childlessness, show what you are
Your past will haunt your future
Negligence is what is important
Feelings of dispair set in
On this path I'll never walk again
Moss that covers the steps once pressed


2. HELL IS EARTH

Shadows covering the soul, blindfold
Past unknown, untold
The fountain of youth, takes its toll
How far must it go?
Not a thought, not a spoken word
We live our lives as slaves of time
Fear of death, want to live forever
Always searching for the cure

Sitting here aimlessly
These are the eyes that see
There is no rebirth
Hell on Earth, Hell is Earth

Decaying news of the past and future
We lurk, looking for the cure
Time stands still for no one
To die alone, as one
We all live in the need of others
But in the end it is all who suffer
Who do they blame but themselves?
Theres enough blame to
Go to hell

This weight on your shoulders
Left with your empty letters
Still trapped inside yourself
Hell on earth, hell is earth

Hell on earth, its all the same
Hell is earth, we know no shame
Hell on earth, drives me insane
Hell is earth, there's only pain

Fingers lead to bleakness
Hearts lead to weakness
Years spent to sit and listen
Eyes open, yet still missing
Language of the unknown word
Seeing this, too absurd
Hands stained with images
Pictures of the hell we live with


3. AVERSION PAWN

That fateful night
Keeps coming back today
Can't recall just what happened, why do I have to pay?
I don't want to remember
Can't blame myself for being, so blind
As now I come to face the truth

Trying to move forward
Is never easy to face
Knowing all that has happened, what can I do?
The pain still lies ever present, burning inside of me
As I sit here this day, trapped inside of me

Now I think I remember
Afterall it happened before
I see a face through the fire
Burning across from my memories
Never again dear friend of mine
You're hopeless now, I did all I could...
Why am I remembering, you now?
Ok it was wrong to turn my back
But why did you have to change?
Now as we walk our separate roads
We gaze upon our own forgotten skies

My acceptance is now clear, this isn't easy
I can't keep feeling trapped here,
Pick myself up and move on
In this harsh reality
A pawn, of my own propriety


4. PARADISE LOST

Lost paradise
Find my way through this dream, to rise
This wicked sea, swallowed my life
Paradise Lost

I stand alone at the edge of the world
Far lost, at sea, far from the winds
Feeling my life flow
As the sands of time draw near
Evermore
The life that I had, so far from me but
I will find my way

Free from what I see, in the wind tonight
Send me past this sea, into a path of light
Time is all I have, not mind the cost
Into my search for the paradise lost

Take me away from this cold
And dreadful silence of the night
Every breath I take fills my soul empty without a light
This deadly storm has taken everything I had tonight
Will I ever feel the ground again?

Free from the world, far lost at sea
Never throught from my nightmare I'd be free
Dreams of fear, dreams of wake
Finding the ground again, never too late, I'm awake

Lost paradise I am free from this dream
From this wickedness I've brought upon my soul
I am never cast alone


5. LETTER

Here with my pen and paper its time to drop you a line
All these years of waiting have, made me realize time
I don't know what stopped me, do you?
Maybe you were the one thing in life I could've never faced

You, give me all this pain
Show me all the same
Can't we share the blame?
Why not stop this game

All those times I saw you, reflections of mine
I always told you, it all would be just fine
I'm sorry I've let you down, for the last time
This time I've lost something, that could've been mine

You, again don't know what to say
Don't know why I have to pay
Never see dawn of a new day
Here I am still the same

Again I think back to your eyes, thoughts faded now
What went wrong between us? I always tried.
Always thought tommorrow brought a brand new day
But quickly I learned what I could never say
I saw you with someone else, my chance had gone by
And now I sit here weeping, still you're in my mind

You, will never know what I had to say
Will never know how much I had to pay
We'll never see the dawn of a new day
Here we are still the same

I see your face look at mine, through this ripped page
And I realize again, that I live through your pain.
I'm sorry for my thoughts, sorry for the rain.
As I look upon the letter never written...


6. ALL THIS TIME

All my life I've lived behind a wall
Looking back, this life was a free-fall
Never thought time would catch up to my fears
Left looking upon these wasted years

All This Time
I thought I knew
All This Time
I knew I should
All This Time
Knowing I would
All This Time
They knew they could

Still left here in this lonely place
But tides themselves tend to change
All these years of confusion
Start to come unbound
False burdens, sunk deep within
Within this silent lucidity
And now I look toward a new sky, and am not blind anymore

Never again will I follow the road of fear
This time I'll know
The twilight of years washed away
Still I turn to face a new day
