Lyrics


1. TWISTED TALES

(Instrumental)


2. CONFINED INSANITY

At night the dreams they haunt me,
The shadow world it taunts me.
Somehow I've got get away
This tight white coat it binds me
Four padded walls confine me
The doctor's stole my mind today.

And only bedlam can describe the nightmare
Scenes that haunt my mind.
At night hear strange voices calling me
From the dark inside - am I insane?

They think that they can cure me
And these four walls secure me
Electric shock waves burn my brain
There's someone else inside me
There's something here to guide me
It takes me down yeah I'm insane

I live alone here in my mind I close my eyes and start to Scream
Confined insanity - unable to do anything but dream...

Nightmare in a damaged brain
They try to tell me I'm insane
But i know it isn't me
I think I'm someone else you see

And now I'm in this cold cell - trapped in this nightmare in Hell
There's someone else inside me - tormentor won't let me be
I'm going into my mind - I'm leaving all this behind
There's nothing left for me now - I'm going to end it all Now

And only bedlam can describe the nightmare
Scenes that haunt my mind.
At night hear strange voices calling me
From the dark inside - am I insane?


3. BACK WITH A VENGEANCE

I saw you there today. I'm back it's time to pay
The fear had left your eyes - I'm back to take your life
Back from the cold where you left me to die
Back from the dark, you betrayed me, sold my life

The pain still hasn't gone, my hate for you is so strong
As your nights grow darker still, I'll haunt you
This time I'll give you no piece of mind
I'm coming for you and I'll take my time

Open your arms, raise your hand to me
I'm back from the dead it's my destiny
You thought you'd seen the last of me
Burnt as a witch by the enemy
But now I'm back

Midnight has come, it's the witching hour
you're caught by a spell of unearthly power
Memories keep the hate alive
Burnt at the stake, but still I survived
And now I'm back


4. THE DEAD OF NIGHT

In the dead of night the winds of anger blow so cold
The fires of passion long ago burned to ice
The memories living in my mind, like dust to dust must go.
In the twisted wastes of my mind
The hatred grows and grows and oh yeah
It's like a parasite, it's feeding on my pain

Whisper goodbye, this is the end
The killing words are said and hatred is my only friend
Now it's too late, you took my heart
Now I reclaim it, then I'll tear your soul apart

You whispered your fear to me
In the eyes of the night
Thought I was too blind to see your lies
In the dead of the night

Fresh from the shadows, look back in fear
You'll feel a chill, and then you'll known when I am near
You're through with me, but I'm not through with you
The nights of pain I've walked, coming back to haunt you too

You whispered your fear to me
In the eyes of the night
Thought I was too blind to see your hate
In the dead of the night

I'll whisper your name from the shadows
As you walk back alone tonight
Memories betrayal haunt my head
You hear my call, and terror turns your blood to ice

You whispered your fear to me
In the eyes of the night
Thought I was too blind to see your hate
In the dead of the night

In the dead of night, the winds of anger blow so cold
The fires of passion long ago burned to ice


5. NO LIGHT TO DIE BY

Into the void and I never knew why
My life is passing me by
Facing my murder, my blood running cold
Time to say my last goodbye

The anger is boiling, I cry to the sky
Innocent, why must I die
Committed no crime, telling no lie
How can they kill me

Damned in hades, an innocent soul lost in time
Honour calls out in anger
And vengeance will one day be mine

Oh, the tears I cry
The ending tonight, there's no light to die by
All the twisted fears, I'm going alone with no light to die By

Time is against me, it's slipping away
False retributions at hand
Fight for existence that's ending today
An hour glass run out of sand

Damned in hades, an innocent soul lost in time
Honour calls out in anger
And vengeance will one day be mine

Oh, the tears I cry
The ending tonight, there's no light to die by
All the twisted fears, I'm going alone with no light to die By

Into the void and I never knew why
My life is passing me by
Facing my murder, my blood running cold
Time to say my last goodbye

Damned in hades, an innocent soul lost in time
Honour calls out in anger
And vengeance will one day be mine

Oh, the tears I cry
The ending tonight, there's no light to die by
All the twisted fears, I'm going alone with no light to die By
