1. BLACK AND GOLD

With lies so dark you'll keep them and hope as bright as gold,
we all know the truth the world is black and gold.
With lies so dark you'll keep them wrapped around your throat,
we all know the truth the world is black and gold.

With lies so dark you'll keep them and hope as bright as gold,
we all know the truth the world is black and gold.
With lies so dark you'll keep them wrapped around your throat,
we all know the truth...

The world is black and gold!

FUCK!

We all know the truth the world is black and gold.


2. PRETENDERS

I never wanted to break down through this corruption.
Breathe in and out all your sorrows and pain.
Give me a sign to return from the darkness;
Shed me some light, show me what's right.

Did I hear you say, What do we live for
When everything we care about is fading away?
I swear I heard you say What do we live for
Can we think about it, talk about it?

And we'll pretend the lies we refused to see
Were easier to make than believe.
And if forgetting to choose was a way to the truth,
You know we'd lose it.

I remember these words you placed in my head.
And made me regret all the things that I said!

Where were you all last night?
Take time to think about it...
Everything you've ever known we had is dead and gone.

Every second within every moment,
The only thought of you was a lie.
A mother fucking lie.
Woah!
Every second within every moment,
I lost it in the blink of an eye.

And we'll pretend the lies we refused to see
Were easier to make than believe.
And if forgetting to choose was a way to the truth,
You know we'd lose it.

The lies we refused to see are
Easier to make than believe.
And if forgetting to choose was a way to the truth...

You know we would lose it.

Black, my heart is filled with rage,
And at the end of the story

These words will never (never)
Never (never) guide you back to me.

I never wanted to break down through this corruption.
Breathe in and out all your sorrows and pain.
Give me a sign to return from the darkness;
Shed me some light, show me what's right.


3. THIS CONFESSION HAS MEANT NOTHING

Follow along...
Follow along...
Follow along, let me show you what I see, yeah..
Follow along, with the key around your neck...
Follow along.

I couldn't change a thing since the day we met.
I was just a mess and everything was spinning.
You know the way I am and the way I live,
But something else controls me.
You have been marked.
When the crowd is watching I can't keep it in.
I need help.
But if it's you I can't guarantee you'll live.

Follow along let me show you what I see, yeah.
You are the one with the key around your neck.
Follow along if you can just keep quiet.
You are the one. Will you save the world tonight?

Yeah you don't know what, you don't know what you had.
Yeah you don't know what, you don't know what you had.

Too late.
And the other me takes you to the other side.
Stay calm.
Cause no one can stop this, no one can stop me.

I haven't changed a thing since my last confession.
I think I blacked out, I think it's taking over.
Wolves don't know the beast inside my soul.

Follow along let me show you what I see, yeah.
You are the one with the key around your neck.
Follow along if you can just keep quiet.
You are the one. Will you save the world tonight?
Follow along let me show you what I see, yeah.
You are the one with the key around your neck.
Follow along if you can just keep quiet.
You are the one. Will you save the world tonight?

She's alone and unaware.
Vision blurred and idle hands transforming any dream to sand.
The other me takes the pair.

Tell me how would you feel without a soul?
Would it be a game?
You wouldn't feel the same.
I've lost, I've lost all self control.
Wolves don't know what a beast is,
What a beast is.
Wolves don't know what a beast is.


4. REMEMBER WHEN

Remember when we thought we were friends
I knew back then that this was gonna end
But not this soon oh no no no
With bitterness comes emptiness

The gold edges of my heart will never fade to gray
With every notion and attempt that I made
You lost all composure when I needed something
But you're better off in a world of wrong

All alone
On my own
Thinking back on everything you took from me
The signs were there but I couldn't believe, no
All alone
On my own
Thinking back on everything you took from me
The signs were there but I wouldn't believe, no

This is the calm before the storm
This is the plight of the wretched one

Yeah

And now I'm wasting away
In a crowded room so alone
Fuck this shit, I am so fed up whit you
I'll leave you speechless, scared and confused
With every live that you told from that start
You always told me not to take them to heart

All alone
On my own
All alone
On my own
Thinking back on everything you took from me
The signs were there but I couldn't believe, no
All alone
On my own
Thinking back on everything you took from me
The signs were there but I wouldn't believe, no

Remember when we thought we were friends
I knew back then that this was gonna end
But not this soon oh no no no
With bitterness comes empty...

All alone
On my own
Thinking back on everything you took from me
The signs were there but I couldn't believe, no
All alone
On my own
Thinking back on everything you took from me
The signs were there but I wouldn't believe, no

The gold edges of my heart will never fade to gray
With every notion and attempt that I made
You lost all composure when I needed something
You lost all composure when I needed something


5. BREATHE

(Instrumental)


6. MAN OF THE HOUR

I can push forward
I can push forward

Brick walls surround my kingdom as I watch my enemies fall.
I forged the sword of grace, sharpened blades I fixed inside my victims chests.
I was one of the few to create the end of justice.
Now I walk the path of hate that love has crumbled down.

Has crumbed down.

When will you see it's over?
These walls have crumbled down to the ground.
So sorry that I can't be the man you need.

Take it back a hundred years and it still wouldn't change a thing.
With different motives different thoughts and different dreams, my life never
meant a thing.
Take it back a hundred years (a hundred years); my life never meant a thing.

When will you see it's over?
These walls have crumbled down to the ground.
So sorry that I can't be the man you need.
(The man you need)
Take your life get out of town now,
don't waste a second 'cause there's nothing here for you.
When will you see it's over?
(It's over, it's over)
It's over now

It's over now

Woah

My dreams can set me free.

My complex isn't what it seems.
She was a thief that stole all of my, all my dreams.

All of my dreams.

When will you see it's over?
These walls have crumbled down to the ground.
So sorry that I can't be the man you need.
(The man you need)
Take your life get out of town now,
don't waste a second 'cause there's nothing here for you.
When will you see it's over?
(It's over, it's over)
It's over now
(it's over, it's over)
It's over now.


7. IF I HAVE TO, THEN I HAVE TO

I grasped the light of the moon seeking vengeance that's within.
I feel the breath of whispers when the phantom calls my name.
Phantom I hear the whispers of your voice.
It leaves me heartless to attack her soul.

What was I thinking this time when you played your games with me?
Every time you left me broken. Do my words mean nothing at all?
If I have to, then I have to walk away and pretend I don't need you.
So I'll take this time to think about the fire we watched burn out.

Oh god please hear me when I speak your name.

I grasped the light of the moon seeking vengeance that's within.
I feel the breath of whispers when the phantom calls my name.

I chose the path of self vision I let dwell in my heart.
When I transform I feel my skin rip apart.

What was I thinking this time when you played your games with me?
Every time you left me broken. Do my words mean nothing at all?
If I have to, then I have to walk away and pretend I don't need you.
So I'll take this time to think about the fire we watched burn out.

I gotta try to keep calm and carry on.
I keep tearin' my, tearin' myself down.
Cause you caught me at the wrong time.
Did my words mean nothing at all?

What was I thinking this time?
Every time you left me broken.
Do my words mean nothing at all?

What was I thinking this time when you played your games with me?
Every time you left me broken. Do my words mean nothing at all?
If I have to, then I have to walk away and pretend I don't need you.
So I'll take this time to think about the fire we watched burn out.

What was I thinking this time?
What was I thinking this time?
Do my words mean nothing at all?


8. BRAND NEW WORLD

Dreamer imagine a world
With no bright stars
Dreamer imagine a life
Where we could start over
The sun has passed
The moon is gone
But my ship is sailing on

Hoist the sails
Anchors away
We're moving on
I never wanted it to be this way

And now I'm finally free
There's no more chains
Well so long, so long
Sailing to a brand new world

Yes now I'm finally free
You can have your chains cut
So long, so long
Sailing to a brand new world

I'm sailing to a brand new….

Freedom has never been so beautiful
I've got my sights set for south
And I'm not looking back
I won't look back

And now I'm finally free
There's no more chains
Well so long, so long
Sailing to a brand new world

Yes now I'm finally free
You can have your chains
'Cause so long, so long
Sailing to a brand new world

Yes now I'm finally free
Yes now I'm Free
So long, so long, so long

Dreamer imagine a world
With no bright stars
Dreamer imagine a world
With no bright stars

I am free
From these chains that have locked me away
I never wanted
I never wanted
It to be this way

Where will I go?
What will I do?
Now that I'm rid of you
So long, so long,
I'm sailing to a brand new world
