Lyrics


1. CAPTURED

The night is here, now I come to you
See us now, we're standing here with you
Follow me, I'll teach you something new
Feel the night, let me walk with you

Raise the night, let the darkness rise
Together all, let's make the music fight
Feel my breath, you're close I'll have you soon
Captured now, I hold on to you

You can feel it rise now, I call out to you
Reach out and take my hand, I will hold on to you

Voices call, together now we rise
Standing all, metal will survive
Forever tall, we walk into the night
Captured now, let the darkness rise

You can feel it rise now, I call out to you
Reach out and take my hand, I will hold on to you


2. SLAVE TO THE SYSTEM

Heard the system call my name today
Cos every system needs a slave
And in the night I made my sacrifice
And they chained me to their cruel device

Look out, the sky is falling
Your judgement day is calling
Misery loves company
Cry out, deny, resistance
You'll pay for your existence
Always, ill nothing else remains

Caught in a web of sexuality
Bound by the chains of misery
A living nightmare when I come around
You can't control me when I'm going down


3. SHALLOW GRAVE

The silent man digs a shallow grave
beyond the trees
And in the dirt he buries
All his hopes and dreams
My child no longer can you be with me
He makes the sign of the cross
And falls to his knees
There are no tears, they are wasted here
Beyond the trees
Where evil men
Can leave behind their memories
And rain like winter burns into his skin
He's holding on tight to a thin blade of light
As the night... closes in

From the skies, judgement is falling
From the trees... voices
Call to me, why do these voices
Call to me, can you see

See my flesh beneath the water slowly stripped away
Let me introduce you to the hate they've put inside of me
As my skin peels back... and their bodies rise
See the blood red stain of this genocide

Follow the trail of tears, back to the shallow grave
Follow the trail of tears, back to the place where we hide
All the crimes, all the shame, all the promises we have betrayed
Tell me where did you bury the pain
What's inside all the lies, who's to blame?
Cos this world doesn't want to be saved
Leave your heart in a shallow grace

At my feet, blood fills the water
Now revealed.. voices
Call to me, why do these voices
Call to me, can you see

See the sins of man are not so easily washed away
See the victims of the slaughter caught in slow decay
Can you turn away, from their outstretched hands?
Can you ever leave never never land?


4. THE ENTITY

Have you ever felt like someone else is here?
Oh I've sensed that cold chill in the air
You turn your back and you see them in your eye
What do you want from me?
I fear what I might find

Oh what do you want from me? I want you
Oh why do you follow me? To watch you
Oh will you ever set me free? I own you
Leave me be, you shall not, will not own me!

Have you felt those cold eyes at your back?
You wake at night because they're here again
You felt the touch it wants you near
It leaves you cold with fright
But you know it's not leaving here
It watches through the night


5. SILENT TEARS

Here I sit, hiding away
No one knows why i stay
Behind closed doors, silent I pray
No one can find me, find me this way

Close my eyes, dream away
It's safe here that's why I stay
Behind closed doors, I cry today
Please do not find me, here I escape

Silent tears, alone I stay
Silent tears, stay away
Silent tears, a breath away

I fear the cold embrace....


6. FOREVER HAUNTED

So far out of reach, I can taste you
Smell the desire, but I cannot seem to have you
I cry out in pain, broken hearted
Torn beyond my reach, God I want you

Crawl on my knees
You hear me scream
You know I need to hold you
I beg you please
The darkness leaves
I hold my dreams
Forever haunted

I sold you my soul there was no bargain
I gave my life, I cried with pain, I need to hold you
So far out of reach, fight to have you
Tears of loss and tears of joy
For what? I ask you...


7. DARKNESS LIES

Screaming... I'm speaking to you
Screaming... I'm reaching to you
Why can't you hear me, I'm in front of you

Bleeding... I'm bleeding for you
Bleeding... my heart's in two
Why can't you see me, I'm in front of you

Blackened soul, encased in ice
I dare you to open your eyes
Broken heart, bled of life
In your heart the darkness lies

Weeping, you don't see my pain
Weeping, who is there to blame
Why can't you feel me, I'm no longer here


8. YOUR TIME HAS COME

See the stranger in my eys
Come face me now
I'm not afraid to die
See me now I stand in front of you
The twist of fate
Will be the death of you
Roll the dice
Do you dare to play?
The hand of death will be dealt today
Hear the tune
It's your funeral song
Come face me now
I'm going to take you on!

Your time has come to walk with me
Your fate is here
Come face your destiny

Taste the bait, I have set for you
I'll reel you in
I've got my hooks in too
Feel the sting
The venom's bite
Oh can you live to see the next daylight?
Beg for mercy
Plead for more
The hand of death knocks upon your door
You cannot run
You cannot hide
I will be there
To take your life

Your time has come to walk with me
Your fate is here
Come face your destiny

Your destiny
