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
