     As I Die

As I die

Stare as eyes uphold me
And wait to see right through
And curse me... The love has crippled you

Shadows haunt the night
Burning my disguise

As I die

Reaping through the truth
Life becomes untrue

Sin the last diversion
My fate will be untouched
Dismissed now, the anger of a fool

Shadows haunt the night
Forgive me as I die

Taking a chance
And take what you gain
My soul it has no price
Total release is out of harms way until I can decide
You punish me, can't you see, I'm not real
Tears are flowing free, passing by, as I die


     Rape of Virtue

The end [untold] desire

Night reveals unearthly ways I felt
[failing lives] abruptive [games] I felt
Gripped to life, you must resign all pride
[Saved from this and use your darker side]

Is your trust in god [abandoned now]
Silently, we're doomed
Silently, we're doomed

The end [untold] desire

[rage of] fear inside and not fear you
They show my faith expire the truth
Waiting for the darker side to greet me
Pale my face until you're bleeding for me


     Death Walks Behind You

Death walks behind you
Death walks behind you

Lock the door, switch the lights
You'll be so afraid tonight
Hide away from the past
Count the nightlights that you have

Start to scream, shout for help
There is no one by your side
To forget what he has done
Seems so hard to carry on

Death walks behind you
Death walks behind you

Lock the door, switch the lights
You'll be so afraid tonight
Hide away from the past
Count the nightlights that you have

Start to scream, shout for help
There is no one by your side
To forget what he has done
Seems so hard to carry on

Death walks behind you
Death walks behind you
Death walks behind you
Death walks behind you


     Eternal (live)

Why can't we hear
The time must come for us to leave here
Emotion has withered away
Out burnt out love has decayed

Obsessed to leave the earth
Tragedy has overrun since birth

Now our righteous fathers weep
As we greet eternal sleep
Are we born to pass away

Cry at all that remains
"Chosen words" fail to sustain
The wisdom of powers heard
In dismal thoughts seemingly absurd

Now as hope and glory dies
We'll scream at our demise
Are we lost forever more

Now our righteous fathers weep
As we greet eternal sleep
Are we born to pass away
