Opening
So brightā¦.. It reminds me ofā¦
Aside 1 (Whispered/Spoken)
Do you remember the times, we would lie in our grass, and stare deep into our great abyss of the unknown? ā¦Far above our canopy of trees, all the while hand in hand, not knowing what the future had in storeā¦
LYRIC 1
There she is! Lovely as always,
And the world is on her side.
Still and shining - stars aligning around her,
But she stays lonely in the night.
Her light it guides as she moves the tides,
Yet she stays so far away,
Her face will change but her shape remains,
She will shine on foreverā¦
Aside 2 (Whispered/Spoken)
ā¦That feeling we shared as we stared deep into each othersā eyes, under the moonlight, not a worry in sight ā just us and no one elseā¦
LYRIC 2
Here I stand!... Staring into the night sky once againā¦ feeling your presence; feeling the light - your light ā shining down upon me from a distant memoryā¦ ā¦never to be forgottenā¦ ā¦Take me back to the end.

The Light
05:44
|
|||
LYRIC 1
Here stands a man of solitude, walking his dismal path.
The darkness wraps around him like, shadows night alleyways do cast.
As he walks down his demented path, he hears the cry of memories past. ā
And even though the voice is comforting and strong, darkness has taken him at last.
(CHORUS)
I HAVE NOT FOUND, the light thatās calling me.
I WILL NOT SEE, until darkness leaves me.
NO ONE WILL FREE ME, no man, no god, no chance.
IāVE LEFT THE LIGHT, Iām lost eternally.
LYRIC 2
Like a blanket of safety it pacifies me,
Darkness keeps life at bay no worries no regrets. -
And with the memories of light fading paper thin,
It seems nothing willā¦ SAVE ME!!!
(Back to CHORUS ā *[drag āeternallyā out at end])
(SOLO/MUSICAL BREAK)
Backgrounds: (ā¦Wonāt you shine on meā¦ ā¦Lost eternallyā¦)
BRIDGE LYRIC
Is there really still a chanceā¦
WILL I COME OUT OF THIS!? (This Dream!)
WHERE IS THE LIGHT!!?
(Background) - ā¦Need the lightā¦ Ohā¦
(Whispered) ā¦Itās shining behind this eclipseā¦
LYRIC 3
Finding the light what does it take? ;
Is it true or is it just illusion?
Only one thing I know might save me from the nightā¦
LOVE COME AND SAVE ME! ā
IāM SWALLOWED BY DARKNESS!!!
(Back to CHORUS ā *[drag āeternallyā out at end])
END LYRIC
Lost eternally! (LOST ETERNALLY!) Whoaā¦

LYRIC 1
I used to love you; I knew I had you,
You said you loved me, I think you lied to me,
Now I canāt stand the very sight of you,
But I still love the other side I knewā¦
LYRIC 2
There used to be something, (and) now there is nothing,
After all of the fighting, the silence is trying,
Now Iāve gone off the deepest end,
My life is pointless, I canāt pretend,
Thereās really nothing left within,
High time to lose my mind.
(>>>Musical Break & Transition<<<)
FINE LYRIC
I have lost my mind; I hope it never comes back to me, ohā¦ whoaā¦ Yeah!
Lifeās a waste of time ā Iām glad Iāve lost my mindā¦

Acid Trip
03:38
|

LYRIC 1
I have found a place in my head and Iām never ever coming back,
Somewhere so unbelievably sane my insanity stays the same.
LYRIC 2
No one knows how I will react ā Iām a bomb without a fuse flying blind,
Drugged up, fucked up, Iām out of my mind ā It feels great for me to finally shine.
(CHORUS)
Yeahā¦ Iām rockinā on an Acid Trip!
Whoaā¦ Iām on a fuckinā Acid Trip!
LYRIC 3
Lights are flashing, worlds out of place ā Iām on a trip without a visible end,
Flying high, Iām racing by a place insane with endless eyes, watching every move of mine ā its killing me; Iām going to die!
(CHORUS)
Transfer Lyric: Leaving me behind, youāve crossed the great divide. Not knowing the reasons why ā has forced to hide from your sight.
BRIDGE LYRIC 1
One more time to seal the door behind me, Lock inside the failure that beheld your sight.
I must fight to survive thisā¦
BRIDGE LYRIC 2
Plight of fear and virus of depression, forced upon me by the sea of tension, worry inside of whatās in my vision ā what came in your life to make you change your mind!? WHY!!? What made you CHANGE YOUR MIND!!!?
BRIDGE LYRIC 3
Those days I think about it, well everything comes swinginā back around, yeah, somehow I had to get around you, get ya outta my head and throw your life away; but this place hasnāt helped at all ā youāre still there, and now I know that itās all just a big Fucking LIE!!! . . .
(>>>MUSICAL BREAK<<<)
EXPOSITIONAL LYRICS
Stranded in state of mind, explaining everything I never knew ā
Ill equipped to carry on, thereās no way to make it through,
This knowledge taken in is too much to comprehend; Iām nearing my end,
No way to mend, these flashing lights, fade into NIGHT!!!
(CHORUS) End with: ACID TRIP!

On the Run
04:21
|

LYRIC 1
I am a man of eternal suspense; I am, right on the edge.
I live a life in the company of shadows; I live, under cover of night.
In this life thereās nobody to keep me sane,
Nowhere is safe, nothings fine, and pain is stronger than time.
My dying speed is the killer of all my plans.
ā¦OHHH IāM LOSING ALL MY TIME!
(YEAH!) And no one gives a Damn!.....
(DAMN!!!... (NOBODY GIVES A DAMN!))
LYRIC 2
(Whoa, whoaā¦) Nobody cares what Iām feeling inside - no love, nothing but hate.
Here with all the rubber neckinā junkies in life hypnotized, by all the bright LIGHTS!
Man! I canāt believe thereās so many who just donāt care;
So many blinded by the words on the screen THEY STARE!
Ooo, god damn! I canāt take it anymore,
Iām gonna snap!, (from your crap!), have a fuckinā relapse!, (Fuck that!)
U-turn, IāM OUT!
(YEOOOOOOOOOOW!!!)
(>>>MUSICAL BREAK WITH SAMPLES <<<)
(CHORUS 1)
In my mindā¦..
IāM SEARCHING FOR A REASON WHY!
I pass the timeā¦..
TRYING TO SEE WHERE THE WORLD WENT BLIND!
I want to see the lightā¦..
WISH I COULD FIND A CURE FOR THIS PLIGHT!
But thereās no hope in sightā¦ Iām on the runā¦..
(ON THE RUN!!!...)
(YEOW!) Turn to dust!
(>>>SOLO BREAK<<<)
(CHORUS 2)
(NOW!) In my mindā¦..
THEREāS NOTHING FOR A THOUSAND MILES!
I pass the timeā¦.
WASTING AWAY ā SO LOST INSIDE!
I need to see the signsā¦..
GUIDE ME TO A BETTER LIFE!
Guide me on, into the sunā¦
Iām on the runā¦ā¦.
END LYRICS
(Whispered: Damnā¦) Iāve crossed the line.
Still this feeling inside ā I fear Iām in too deep.
I need you here by my side ā (Whispered: tonightā¦)
Fade into night!..... (Whoaā¦ā¦. Whispered: YEAH!)

Lyrics
Deep within a dreamā¦ unconscious thoughts, a glimpse is caught,
Pain and sufferingā¦ Lost they are, stranded afar,
Wandering it seemsā¦ My soul it feels, my fate is sealed,

(YEAH!!!)
LYRIC 1
On my way to a place Iām sure Iāll never forget, ā¦Somewhere in a distant memory.
I remember I felt happy and loved there, Thought it was true but we never made it through, noā¦
(CHORUS 1)
(Now itās gone!) That happiness I used to know so well, It disappeared beneath these shifting sands!
(Where do I go!?) Left or right? ā In circles I must roam, āTill someone shows me the way!
Background: Just show me the way! (YEAH!)
(Just show me the way!...)
LYRIC 2
The sun is hot, my eyes deceive me of you, On a sea of glass I walk and thereās just nothing I can do.
Shattering with every step, where were you when I needed you? The Devil took my soul today, now thereās no place I can stay, heyā¦
(CHORUS 2)
(Where are you!?) What made you go so fast what did I do? I bet youāre underneath this shattered land!
(How will I know!?) Wrong or right? ā In circles I must roam, āTill someone shows me the way!... YEAH!
(Transfer LOW: Why wonāt you show me the way? Please come and show me the way. ļ Down ...)
BRIDGE LYRIC
Background: Where are you? Where are youā¦ I need to feel you. I need your love!
In some ways I guess Iāll never be the same. Whispered: What a shame it is. Time remains and still my life has yet to changeā¦ but weāll see ā we will seeā¦
Whoaā¦ We will see!... Whoooā¦..
Ohā¦ YEAH!
(Solo / Musical Break)
(BACKGROUND: Whoaā¦) YEAH!...
(CHORUS 3)
(Where should I be!?...)
I need to feel your love, I need you here witha ME!
Iāll never stop ātill I can finally SEE!
(Eternally!..... ^Yeah!)
Round and round in circles I must roam. ^(Yeah!)
āTill someone shows me the way!...
(>MUSICAL BREAK<)
WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!..... YEAH!
(>MUSICAL BREAK<)
Why wonāt you show me the way?
(Why wonāt you show me the way?)
Find me and show me the way!....................
END LYRIC
Miles around me ā the sands of eternity.
Shifting and drifting, sinking and lifting.
Hopelessly lost Iām confused and bewildered!
Canāt someone SHOW ME THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!

LYRIC 1
My days are numbered now my faith is lost.
Iāve fallen down this well with fatal costs.
My bodyās cold and now Iām mentally numb.
Thereās no hope for me nobody will come!...

That fatal leap I took; those choices I made ā
Theyāve got me here and now thereās no escape.

LYRIC 1
Summer skies ā blue and truly fair,
You look out in the distance, and thereās nothing but clear air.
Summer fields ā extensive plains of green,
A breeze blows all around you, itās an exhilarating scene.
LYRIC 2
Summer air ā humid and itās showing,
Your skin begins to sweat, but you havenāt realized yet.
Summer clouds ā white and quickly growing,
They tower as you stare, soon it will be thereā¦
(CHORUS 1)
What you donāt know can kill you,
It can take your breath awayā¦
With a path of destruction, thereās no running or hiding,
From the storm!.....
<<Short Musical Break>>
LYRIC 3
Summer rain ā intense and sudden it falls,
You try to run away, but you canāt escape your fate.
Summer storm ā electric with hail and wind,
Itās caught you with no shelter, now youāre forced to face its wrathā¦
(CHORUS 2)
What you donāt see can kill you,
It can take you far awayā¦
An appendage of death - thereās no running or hiding,
From the storm!.....
Whoaā¦ Yeah!.....
(>>>Musical Break / Solo<<<)
BRIDGE/END LYRICS
Donāt run and donāt hide thereās no reason,
Thereās nothing you can do to stop its wrath from unfolding.
Embrace the storm! Embrace its form.
Become one with its power and one with its core,
Fly into the eye and flow out without a fight.
Embrace the storm! Embrace its formā¦
Thereās no escapingā¦
From the stormā¦..

LYRIC 1
Here I walk upon the sand, in this barren desert land,
Searching for a place to restart in thisā¦
Defective world of pain and anger, indifferent over their behavior,
No self control theyāve lost all rationality!
LYRIC 2
Halfway there I stop and stare, something thick within the air,
Warning of a form of terror ā itās growing nearā¦
Suddenly and without mention, evil spots this man of tension,
Stones of sticks that slice right through me ā the demons send their pain!
>CHORUS<
Rain come with hail over me, warm into cold ā keep circling.
Cycle insanity, just like my life ā pass over meā¦
>>>(MUSICAL / SOLO BREAK)<<<
Whoa, Yeah!..... Ohā¦
>REPEAT CHORUS<
ā¦Bring this to an end!
RESOLUTE LYRIC
Fire deep within me, dimming coldly quickly,
Life to death Iām turning, sight of unconsciousness.
Light or dark keep fighting, hot and cold colliding.

LYRIC 1
Itās cold and dark in hereā¦ my mind, it slowly drifts awayā¦
Iāve grown weak and tired, unable to fight my fears.

ā¦Not a sight, no reason, Iām in a world without feeling.
LYRIC 2
ā¦Wait, How can this be?
One moment Iām living, the next, Iām left floating in a sea of black.
Am I dead? Could it have been a simple snap of the neck?...
Or was it slow, sinister, a punishment of the soul, oh god why me!?

Iām lost and hopeless; deaf and blind. You hang your frame accuse your crime.
Iāll lye here weak accept your fate. Leave me here to ROT buried ALIVE!!!!!
Iām still ALIVE!!!!!
Just let me DIE!!!!!
Just end my Fucking life.
LYRIC 5
(Whispered): Noā¦..
You wonāt let me go.
Iām your puppet ā you need me here for show.
Slowly, thatās how you need me to die,
For your canvas to be complete.
The evidence could never be so clearā¦
CHORUS B
Staring into darkness, into visions of an OVERWHELMING HATRED!
For the bastards who have kept me in this HELPLESS STATE!
Iām nothing but a puppet, all my anger bottled UP! Insideā¦..
LYRIC 6

āCause when I snap Iām never coming BACK!!!
