Sweet Oblivion (Feat Geoff Tate) : Sweet Oblivion
Letras
1. TRUE COLORS
You sell your truth like a fortune wheel
Your smile declares your war
All the while you're spitting out words of fear
Same old shtick you’ve had for years
I stand in the shadow like a fortress under siege
Trying my best without losing my belief
But if we fight it, get everyone united
There's no end, there's no end in sight
Come out of the shadow
Come out of the shadow
Riptide is finally turning
Why would you think it would last forever
They saw you wearing your true colors
Now there’s no more hiding
I'm almost sick from your mountain of lies
Poisoning the faithful (Faithful, faithful)
Your blatant disregard insults the very core
Of what I believe
What do you believe
Come out of the shadow
Come out of the shadow
Riptide is finally turning
Why would you think it would last forever
They saw you wearing your true colors
Now there's no more hiding
Riptide is finally turning
What makes you think it could last forever
They saw you wearing your true colors
Now the world is watching
Riptide is finally turning
What makes you think it could last forever
They saw you wearing your true colors
Now there's no more hiding
There's no more hiding
No, no more hiding
No, no, no
No more hiding
No, no, no, no
2. SWEET OBLIVION
Just another way to see
Based on due reflection
How peculiar
I just feel the same
Beyond this cross, beyond this praise
While tomorrow never came
And our reward is bittersweet
Sweet oblivion
Wrong things just happen to be real
(Happen to be real)
Nobody's running
We've lost control of our souls
And we blame the system
We want control of our world
But we won’t fail again
All we want is to be free
'Til no one is captured
Our plan has crumbled to our feet
Keep crying baby
Wrong things just happen to be real
(Happen to be real)
Nobody's coming
We've lost control of our souls
And we blame the system
We want control of our world
Our time is coming
We love the sound of our words
When we oughta listen
We lost control of our world
But we won’t fail again
We've lost control of our souls
And we blame the system
We want control of our world
Our time is coming
We love the sound of our words
When we oughta listen
We want control of our world
But we won't fail again
And we won't fail again
3. BEHIND YOUR EYES
First you're hot then you’re cold
Never know which way to go
Is there something here
You want to tell me?
If that's the case, you're secret’s safe
I'll give you time, give you space
I'll be here when you're ready
Now I don't need some kind of explanation
But there's gotta be an answer
I've seen the dark shadows behind your eyes
I know there's more, more that you try to hide
Something’s got a hold on you
Oh, something’s got a hold on you
What it is doesn't hesitate
It cuts you deep then escapes
It leaves you breathless, ooh breathless
You crave that feeling more and more
It rips your head right off
Until it comes again, you’re killing time
You say don't believe in exorcism
But we've got to try something
I've seen the dark shadows behind your eyes
I know there’s more, more that you try to hide
There's something, there's something more
There's something more
(There's something wrong with you)
I've seen the dark shadows behind your eyes
I know there's more, more that you try to hide
Something's got a hold on you
I've seen the dark shadows behind your eyes
[spoken]
You've got to be kidding me
The suspense is killing me
There's something inside of you that's evil, it's lethal
Don't be afraid of death, just take it by step by step
And out the other side
Flyin', survivin', high fivin'
4. HIDE AWAY
Who else would wanna know
Who's scared of wisdom
Who else would run away despite my calls
Into the wicked world
The wicked world around me
Flying far enough to see it burn
Will you stand tall
And never fail me
Reaching for a gun
I could use no more
In the desperate morning
Hide away
And pretend it's fine until it is
When suspicion's growing more and more
Into the dark
We're falling apart
Old cup overflows with
Dreams and whispers
Who else has gone away despite my calls
Will you stand tall
And never fail me
Reaching for a gun
I could use no more
In the desperate morning
Hide away
And pretend it's fine until it is
When suspicion's growing more and more
Into the dark
We're falling apart
[spoken]
Our doubts are traitors
And make us lose the good we oft might win
By fearing to attempt
Some rise by sin
And some by virtue fall
In the desperate morning
Hide away
And pretend it's fine until it is
When suspicion's growing more and more
Into the dark
We're falling apart
In the desperate morning
When suspicion's growing more
In the desperate morning
Into the dark
We're falling apart
5. MY LAST STORY
This is all we came to know
Burning candles never grow
Still their fire lights our way
What could possibly go wrong
After all, those years are gone
Training field to false alarms
Kept me awake
We should only plunge our souls
In regrets and apologies
Never question why I still believe
Since I lost my drive
Legends that I'm longing to believe
Rip those pages off and pray
Read my last story
I believe I just fought alone for glory
Now it's time to leave
How can I relieve myself
No regrets, no apologies
Don't ever question why I still believe
And I'll close my eyes
Secrets I'm not going to reveal
See those pages fly away
Hear my last story
I believe I just fought alone and lonely
Lived a thousand lives
When I hear them calling
Time will freeze, on your knees
A ceremony
I'm the one to grieve
Empty lies
Empty lies
Secrets I'm not going to reveal
See those pages fly away
Hear my last story
I believe I just fought alone and lonely
Lived a thousand lives
When I hear them calling
Time will freeze, on your knees
A ceremony
I'm the one to grieve
6. A RECESS FROM MY FATE
Right here, my grief
Only in the blindness of my mind
I've seen your eyes before I drowned
I’m free, I feel
It through the sourness of my wine
Now the time is near
Heavy to carry
Vengeance in my tears
I kiss my revolution
Sharpen my spear
Stolen, destroyed or lost
Our days are miserable
Can't hold from falling apart
Fading out
Fade into the night
Under a spell I can't remember
A recess from my fate
(A recess from my fate)
Right here, I’m still
Into the darkness of my soul
Heavy heart is pulling down
Heavy to carry
Lost along the years
I lost my revolution
Stopped by my fear
Stolen, destroyed or lost
Our days are miserable
Can't hold from falling apart
Fading out
Fade into the night
Under a spell I can't remember
A recess from my fate
Stolen, destroyed or lost
Our days are miserable
Can't hold from falling apart
Fading out
Fade into the night
Under a spell I can't remember
A recess from my fate
A recess from my fate
7. TRANSITION
Broke and alone, the void is growing inside me
Indifference and decay is all I see
My soul is torn in pieces and sand grains
Drifting away into hypocrisy
Filled up with corruption
This place is where we belong
Until we die
Transition to an empty world
Enslaved to the worst condition
My mission to redeem myself
It's harder now to believe
I look around but there is no one beside me
Coldness and suffering is all I can feel
I'm by the walls, I'm rust and disruption
These halls will tell the story of the pain
Filled up with deception
This place is where we belong
Until we die
Transition to an empty world
Enslaved to the worst condition
My mission to redeem myself
It's harder now to believe
Transition to an empty world
Enslaved to the worst condition
Is this the price I have to pay
I don't wanna try and believe
8. DISCONNECT
I wake up and remember
How silent is the rain
And then you'll finally realize
That I was falling
On this grey November
I'm not calling for help
I'm trying to hold on to what I've been
And to all I have believed
I guess I'm lonely now
I'm staring at this black cell phone display
I'm waiting for a word that never comes
And how does it feel to leave me this way
However far I will go
I will always believe in you
Ten thousand ways to fall down
Only one way to disconnect
There's no real surrender
With no more tears to cry
My eyes are dry and my hopes are gone
And together we will drown
I hope you're lonely now
While I keep staring at my black display
I'm waiting for a word that never comes
And how does it feel to leave me this way
However far I will go
I will always believe in you
Ten thousand ways to fall down
Only one way to disconnect
Are you happy now
We're both drowning
Into a sea of lies
Built by both you and I
However far I will go
I will always believe in you
Ten thousand ways to fall down
Only one way to disconnect
I will always believe in you
Only one way to disconnect
9. THE DECEIVER
Earned your redemption with a tear
You're so ambitious, I’m fighting my issues
Try, call my name and I'll appear
Then I'll come back for more until we’re done
And please forgive me if I'm coming after you
Into the meadows creep the damned
Into the rivers of my thoughts
I'll be the fool walking in disguise
I guess my chase is over
Confused in my lone delusional summer
Before my face a cold rain falls
Who's the deceiver
Removed the witness of my fear
You're mean and vicious, you do smell suspicious
I got a mission I believe
Inside my twisted soul, a shapeless god
And please forgive me if I'm coming after you
Walking in disguise
I guess my chase is over
Confused in my lone delusional summer
Before my face a cold rain falls
Who's the deceiver
Once in a lifetime, forever you mean
Waiting for someone
(Where's your peace of mind)
Please purify me from all my sins
I’m falling down
Digging a hole
I guess my chase is over
Confused in my lone delusional summer
Before my face a cold rain falls
Who’s the deceiver
10. SEEK THE LIGHT
Correction, direction
Refined manipulation
Ain't made me stronger, made me what I am
Oppression, domination
They call it modern wealth
A rival lie won’t put me down
You're telling now the same old story
Untrue but commonly believed
You're calling, you’re folding
Lost count of the cards
See you gambling with our fears
Fault of men
Into the night we'll seek the light
We're falling to pieces
Call my name
Into the light I'll seek and wander
The growth of a species
Selection, connection
We grow towards perfection
Won't make me stronger
This is what I am
Tuition, elevation
Against our enemy
In God we trust until we're going down
You're telling now the same old story
That's not belonging to my dreams
Fault of men
Into the night we’ll seek the light
We’re falling to pieces
Call my name
Into the light I'll seek and wander
The growth of a species
Into the night I seek again
Unfolded to me
And I'll see
Fault of men
Into the night we'll seek the light
We're falling to pieces
Call my name
Into the light I’ll seek and wander
The growth of a species
11. DISCONNECT (PIANO VERSION)
