Track Lyrics

Hand in Hand With the Damned Lyrics

3 ContributorsHand In Hand With The Damned LyricsI don't trust myself
I'm trapped drowning in despair, I'm poisonous
I slammed the door and locked it shut and now disaster plagues my thoughts
Let's drink to the dead, "Cheers to what's ahead!" I'm poisonous
Sweet temptress!
I can see it in your eyes
You're moving on without me!
So it ends tonight, I guess this is goodbye!
Selfishly you say you're better off without me
And it ends tonight
Well baby save your breath
Won't you please have mercy!?
Before you push me away let me try to change your mind
Oh wanderer!
If you think this is fun just you wait until I'm done!
Blessed fortune screams,"Why have you forsaken me?!"
There's no escape..I never should have lost my way
And now I'm stranded out at sea chasing a lie?
There's no escape
I'm losing the sky
Sweet temptress!
I can see it in your eyes
You're moving on without me!
So it ends tonight
I guess this is goodbye!
Selfishly you say you're better off without me
And it ends tonight
Well baby save your breath
Imprisoned soul seized in the chamber of feculent horror
Suffer all you must but suffer silently
Still your cursed tongue, stay your blighted abandon
In your eternal death you hunger for rotten mire
For in your mortal life it was this which was your gift to man
Prepare to walk hand in hand with the damned
God can't help you and angels won't save you!
Your unrequited prayers will be in bane of your existence!
Prepare to walk hand in hand with the damned!
I am poisonous!
Is there a way for me to say that you should stay?!
I need to know you'll miss me when I'm gone
I'll cherish you until the day I die!
A twisted way to make you mine!
I can see it in your eyes
You're moving on without me
So it ends tonight
I guess this is goodbye!
Selfishly you say you're better off without me
And it ends tonight
Well baby save your breath
Won't you please have mercy?!
Before you push me away let me try to change your mind
Oh wanderer!
If you think this is fun just wait until I'm done!

Beyond the Sacred Glass Lyrics

3 ContributorsBeyond The Sacred Glass Lyrics(I am willing to give whatever it takes
I am willing to give whatever it takes
I am willing to give whatever it takes)
Quietly I am screaming for help
I calm down and steady myself
Collapse to the ground when I realize I can't breathe
Could this be happening? What's happening to me?
All the walls are closing in on me and confusion makes it hard to see
Still my pounding heart is bleeding for you
(I know the truth)
And I start to sweat, sweat, sweat sweat
Why the hell am I here?
I start to sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat
Have I succumbed to fear?
Why am I trying the undying, a ghost of such elegance?
Oh why am I racing to be facing a vision of something so perfect?
I am willing to give whatever it takes to find forgiveness for my mistakes
So I'm going to take a chance and invite the unknown to a deadly dance
I have laid eyes on you and yet it does not seem as if the Earth moved
(I know the truth)
And I start to sweat, sweat, sweat sweat
I will have you tonight!
I start to sweat, sweat, sweat sweat
You will be mine tonight!
Why am I trying the undying, a ghost of such elegance?
Oh why am I racing to be facing a vision of something so perfect?
I am willing to give whatever it takes to find forgiveness for my mistakes
So I'm going to take a chance and invite the unknown to a deadly dance
As I rise to conquer the demons I sense that the darkness awaits
(The road I walk is paved with a thousand unmarked graves)
I am willing to give whatever it takes to find forgiveness for my mistakes
So I'm going to take a chance and invite the unknown to a deadly dance
(I am willing to give whatever it takes to find forgiveness for my mistakes
So I'm going to take a chance and invite the unknown to a deadly dance)
As I rise to conquer the demons I sense that the darkness awaits

The Temptress Lyrics

3 ContributorsThe Temptress LyricsMy love try to understand me when I say you torture me
Your lips they beg for me to get you alone
I want you to know it's the sway of your hips
You taste so sweet (cruel temptress), I'm at your feet
I can tell by the way you move that you want me to want you
Are you happy now that I've figured out I was just the victim
In a game of lies and lustful tension?
Your lips they beg for me to get you alone
I want you to know it's the sway of your hips
You taste so sweet (cruel temptress), I'm at your feet
I can tell by the way you move that you want me to want you
Are you happy now that I've figured out I was just the victim
In a game of lies and lustful tension?
I can't believe I fell for you
I was wrong, I am so confused
A foolish mistake
(I gaze across the chasm that divides me from her, my prize
And drink in her beauty
I let the heady aroma of perfume riding on the hot win saturate me
I train my ears to the creaking of the bridge spanning the gap to her
I throw caution into that wind of passion and continue down the path
The path to the unknown.)
I'm losing control and I want all of you, I ache to swallow you
I'm losing control, your body screams for me, it's destroying me
I can not resist the temptress of the night
I'm coming for you, I want to, I need you
As the Earth quakes I will deflower you
Oh how my head swims, oh how my heart yearns
I'm coming for you
Our flesh will become one and we'll never speak of what we've become
(It's what you want.)
I'm gone! I'm gone! I'm gone!
So it seems that we were nothing
Are you happy now that I've figured out I was just the victim
In a game of lies and lustful tension?
I can't believe I fell for you
I was wrong, I am so confused
A foolish mistake

Circle VII: Sins of the Lion Lyrics

[Intro: Shawn Milke, with Melissa Milke, Dennis Lee, Shane Crump]
Oh, the violence
The ocean beckons with it's gaze
Pulling me beneath the waves
Their fury second to none
(Oh, the violence)
It's clawing at my burning skin
Filling my heart with it's sin, human reason is washed away
[Verse 1: Shawn Milke, Shane Crump]
Am I the first to be fooled by your dirty little trick?
I guess I should have seen this coming, I will not forget
(I will not forget)
(Is washed away)
[Pre-Chorus: Dennis Lee, with Shawn Milke, Shane Crump]
I'm the one who has to swallow water, that's what I get for chasing after you
You should be hanging by your neck, swinging there silently
[Chorus: Shawn Milke, with Dennis Lee]
I can't stop the bleeding
Tell me that you want me (if you need me)
Tell me that you love me (if you want me)
Your dying eyes tell a story of poisonous passion
Telling me you want me (do you want me?)
Telling me you want me (do you love me?)
[Verse 2: Shawn Milke, Shane Crump]
It is quite clear you despise me by showing your face here
And you never even told me why you disappeared
(Why you disappeared)
(Is washed away)
[Pre-Chorus: Dennis Lee, with Shawn Milke, Shane Crump]
I'm the one who has to swallow water, that's what I get for chasing after you
You should be hanging by your neck, swinging there silently
[Chorus: Shawn Milke, with Dennis Lee]
I can't stop the bleeding
Tell me that you want me (if you need me)
Tell me that you love me (if you want me)
Your dying eyes tell a story of poisonous passion
Telling me you want me (do you want me?)
Telling me you want me (do you love me?)
[Bridge: Shane Crump, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, choir, Shane Crump & Dennis Lee]
A bone chilling cry erupts
A bone chilling cry erupts (I've seen those eyes but not that smile)
A bone chilling cry erupts (I've seen those eyes but not that sinister smile)
A bone chilling cry erupts (I've seen those eyes but not that blank stare)
A bone chilling cry erupts (I've seen those eyes)
The tides of sin are stained with blood (but not that stare)
[Chorus: Shawn Milke, with Dennis Lee]
I can't stop the bleeding
Tell me that you want me (if you need me)
Tell me that you love me (if you want me)
Your dying eyes tell a story of poisonous passion
Telling me you want me (do you want me?)
Telling me you want me (do you love me?)
[Outro: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, both]
You will be sorry when he spills the blood from your throat!
You'll be torn limb from limb, tramp!
There will be hell to pay!

Vestige Lyrics

3 ContributorsVestige LyricsWashed on a shore of enchanted lies and I am breathless
Struggling for reason
How could it be such a wondrous place is trapped in silence?
Give them redemption
Time is melting away, I can't explain but my eyes are begging to stay
I must say a sunny day helps to push the memories away
I can't imagine my leaving here
It sounds so peaceful living in solace
A perfect vision of ecstasy, a dreamy palace
Home to the soulless
Time is melting away, I can't explain but my eyes are begging to stay
I must say a sunny day helps to push the memories away
Walk along the shore of an ocean of rage
Gazing in amazement at each screaming wave
Everywhere I look there's agony and pain
What's the point of fighting when there's nothing to save?
Time is melting away, I can't explain but my eyes are begging to stay
I must say a sunny day helps push the memories away
Caution must be obeyed on an island of the decayed

Lullaby of the Crucified Lyrics

4 ContributorsLullaby Of The Crucified Lyrics(My angel close your eyes, I'll be your lover tonight
Pitiful lullaby, I'll be your lover tonight)
My own misery is taunting me
The air stings my lungs, I can barely see
Wicked eyes surrounding me, the trees are watching silently
I could try to run but baby, what's the point?
(I may never know)
I don't see the point
(Why I let you go)
My body is aching (I'm losing my mind)
There's nothing to hold onto
My angel close your eyes, I'll be your lover tonight
I'm tired of trying (I'm sick of the waiting)
If there's nothing that I can do
A pitiful lullaby to sing the tortured to sleep
We could settle down and change the end
Nothing but time, start over again
All the little things you do that made me fall in love with you
Have led me to this, a bittersweet abyss
(I may never know)
A vexatious kiss
(Why I let you go)
My body is aching (I'm losing my mind)
There's nothing to hold onto
My angel close your eyes, I'll be your lover tonight
I'm tired of trying (I'm sick of the waiting)
If there's nothing that I can do
A pitiful lullaby to sing the tortured to sleep
I will follow you into the night (my darling eyes)
I would do anything to be lying with you as I watch you dream
I have been reborn
I have broken free! I'm free! I'm free!
You can't deny me, do not defy me
Abandon all hope for beyond time I stand
I have been reborn
(Darling, tonight we say goodbye)
(Sing a touching lullaby and we'll watch the angels cry)

The Fiend Lyrics

3 ContributorsThe Fiend LyricsBlessed smoke bellows from the beast
Bow to the gears and worship the machine
Is it so?
This can't be happening
Why can't they see?
Seas of children are bound, gagged, and led into the flames
Blind are leading the blind into a disaster
I'm the only one who seems to care
If you decide to worship the chaos
I will not wait and watch as you burn
All must kneel before the altar, the veiled will be exalted
We are the flock!
They do not hear a word I say
In the God's harbor all shall rest, become part of the master
We are divine!
I can not save them all
Blind are leading the blind into a disaster
I'm the only one who seems to care
If you decide to worship the chaos
I will not wait and watch as you burn
(I will not wait and watch as you burn)
(Should we go?)
I need you to trust me now
(They all seem so content)
Don't move, I'll figure this out
(We should go)
Forget what anyone said
(And become part of him)
Just take my hand or we'll both be dead
Blind are leading the blind into a disaster
I'm the only one who seems to care
If you decide to worship the chaos
I will not wait and watch as you burn
(I will not wait and watch as you burn)
They'll never be able to see that they crave this captivity

Welcome to the Vanity Faire Lyrics

3 ContributorsWelcome To The Vanity Faire LyricsI search high and low but I can't find you
Still your vexing laugh entices me
Close enough to touch but then you run away
I'm about to quit and then you say, "Lose yourself in the vanity faire!"
Insanity it whispering to me, woah
What I believe is just not making sense of what I see
Show me your reflection
(A sly disguise)
Is it the girl you want to be?
A porcelain smile, you're a knockout, baby!
Drape yourself in fragile fantasy
I see your reflection
(A sly disguise)
And it's not the girl you want to be
(A fraudulent smile)
What you see is what you've asked for, but it's never what you are
(A cold-hearted tale)
Lost in a maze of beautiful deception
And just like before I'm at the mercy of a phantom
When will it end? How will it end? And will you be in my arms?
I just can't take anymore of this pointless search for nothing
Insanity is whispering to me, woah
What I believe is just not making sense of what I see
Show me your reflection
(A sly disguise)
Is it the girl you want to be?
A porcelain smile, you're a knockout, baby!
Drape yourself in fragile fantasy
I see your reflection
(A sly disguise)
And it's not the girl you want to be
(A fraudulent smile)
What you see is what you've asked for, but it's never what you are
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey!
Silence, oh cruel harlot!
Silence! your filthy tongue will be stilled
Laughter echoing, I'm unraveling tonight
Silence! I've had enough
Silence! No longer will you stop me!
Your vanity so patiently will steal your soul
You're hideous
Mirror, mirror on the wall, a liar to us all, you'll be the one to fall
The eye of the beholder knows the truth
Show me your reflection
(A sly disguise)
Is it the girl you want to be?
A porcelain smile, you're a knockout, baby!
Drape yourself in fragile fantasy
I see your reflection
(A sly disguise)
And it's not the girl you want to be
(A fraudulent smile)
What you see is what you've asked for, but it's never what you are
What you see is what you've asked for
But it's never what you are
What you see is what you've asked for
What you see is what you get
A cold-hearted tale
Attack the mirrors, shatter the prison
One by one reflections fall, come on, come on, come on, come on!
Until I destroy them all, come on, come on, come on, come on!

The Wanderer Lyrics

3 ContributorsThe Wanderer LyricsA few prisms of glass offer little comfort in the blackness
The desolate emptiness drinking every last drop of life that's left in me
I pray for absolution, let me return to the path of a tempting lie
Lead me towards the light
Truly I've run awry
My compass is spinning in the shadows
It's funny how we believe the things that we tell ourselves to
And our hearts simply follow
I pray for absolution, let me return to the path of a tempting lie
Lead me towards the light
I pray for absolution, let me return to the path of a tempting lie
Lead me towards the light

A Gilded Masquerade Lyrics

6 ContributorsA Gilded Masquerade LyricsAs the water drips from the sky I start to wander
If I'm still alive then I have to find the answer
Could it be that it was a dream and I'm still beside her?
Right before my eyes a tragic surprise, the water stops
Wickedness will rain and drown us in her sorrow and her thirst
If I hope to survive I must think faster, I'm losing ground
Should I pull back the veil?
You had the best of me, now taste the worst
All that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness
You had me convinced that together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface and I saw beyond your masquerade
Your body is an illness
Temples crashing down all around me, panic chokes the streets
The golden city falls and with it our lives go up in flames
Should I pull back the veil?
You had the best of me, now taste the worst
All that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness
You had me convinced that together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface and I saw beyond your masquerade
Your body is an illness
(All shall be made clear
We've been watching you wander)
My blood runs cold
(There's no need to run farther)
I fear I know the truth
(Come into our arms, brother)
I tear back the cowl and stare into my own eyes
(Now we can be one forever)
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
(Yeah!)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey!)
I pull back the veil
You had the best of me, now taste the worst
All that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness
You had me convinced that together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface and I saw beyond your masquerade
Your body is an illness and I'm sickened by the thought of you
I may never be the same again, I may never be the same again

And Now for the Final Illusion Lyrics

3 ContributorsAnd Now For The Final Illusion Lyrics(Wake up...wake up...wake up...)
My eyes open wide as I wake, panting, some say that dreams have deeper meaning
That they are cries from our subconscious
I never put much stock in such ideas, but I feel strangely compelled to recount this one to my love
My Annabel. Shaking her gently, I wonder why her flesh has the chill of virgin snow
My thoughts are disrupted as reality hits me like a bolt of lightning and I scream
We are the crucified, we are the virtuous, we are the damned
We are the crucified, this is our nightmare, let's pray we never fall asleep
We are the crucified, we are the virtuous, we are the damned
We are the crucified, this is our nightmare, let's pray we never fall asleep
We are the crucified, we are the virtuous, we are the damned
We are the crucified, this is our nightmare, let's pray we never fall asleep
We are the crucified, we are the virtuous, we are the damned
We are the crucified, this is our nightmare, let's pray we never fall asleep
We are the crucified, we are the virtuous, we are the damned
We are the crucified
We are the crucified, we are the virtuous, we are the damned
We are the crucified
Imprisoned beneath the world where the soulless dwell
Lies a place that the damned call home
A place where the virtuous hide in fear, a place we see only in our nightmares
A place where the sun is silent
Imprisoned beneath the world where the soulless dwell
Lies a place that the damned call home
A place where the virtuous hide in fear, a place we see only in our nightmares
A place where the sun is silent
Imprisoned beneath the world where the soulless dwell
Lies a place that the damned call home
A place where the virtuous hide in fear, a place we see only in our nightmares
A place where the sun is silent

The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Marionettes (score) Lyrics

3 ContributorsThe Best Laid Plans Of Mice And Marionettes LyricsThere's no escape from this awful place
Hey, stranger what's your name?
Have we met before?
Take a look around, the scenes are all the same
I can see the veil is right behind me
I'll close my eyes and this will go away
Have I ever said this before?
If I just keep moving will I be okay or panic in the mayhem?
I can't take it, I'm battered and broken, abandoned forever
It's round and round and round we go
Somebody please let me know just what it takes to begin, to start all over again
The truth has finally shown it's face, how long have I been in this place?
I never had a choice, you blinded me and stole my voice
I will see you soon...
Hey, strange what's your name?
Have we met before?
Do I even dare to question fate's design or submit to such a bleak destiny?
There has to be another way than this, it's a hopeless fight anyway
I will not give up and wash away the sin, I'm thirsting for the carnage
I can't take it, I'm battered and broken, abandoned forever
It's round and round and round we go
Somebody please let me know just what it takes to begin, to start all over again
The truth has finally shown it's face, how long have I been in this place?
I never had a choice, you blinded me and stole my voice
I will no longer take the flight from you...
Now that you've got me, what's next?
Let me help...
Now I destroy you, demon
Sinew is ripped to shreds
Stripped from your body, crimson
Fury of righteousness will now consume you in death
It's the sweet, sweet song of your heartbeat
All I feel is a memory
Of the night I laid in bed with you
It's the easy sound of your breathing
Tell me what I should've seen
Where was I when you fell fast asleep?
I can't live without you by my side
It's round and round and round we go
Somebody please let me know just what it takes to begin, to start all over again
It's round and round and round we go
Somebody please let me know just what it takes to begin, to start all over again
