Why did I wake up today
It all seems so pointless
Yet still I must go on
Beyond the fear, beyond the doubt
I'll find a brand new reason
To carry on
Haunted
Demonised and criticised
By the songs of the evergrey
Haunted
Amplified and purified
Sorrows great devotion
Why can't I sleep tonight
It was so long ago
Yet still it permeates my mind
Beneath the fear, below the doubt
I'll fight this inner treason
And somehow carry on
Haunted by the voices of yesterday
I cross the crooked step
Haunted by the voices of yesterday
I cry out for serenity

The Dark Half
03:53
|
|||
|
Lies of the mind
Clawing their way inside
I don't know what to do
When the dark half comes again
I gave you life
Now watch me take it away
You've won this fight
Now watch as I win the war
All I do is suffer in silence
And all I want is to be free from you
Last of my kind
Two halves to every whole
I know what to do
When the dark half strikes again

Home
03:48
|
|||
|
By the light of the sun all we know turns to dust
Shattered dreams, shattered lives
Are all that remain
Broken homes, broken hearts
As the ground below screams
All I know is I'm left with nowhere to call home
And now, home is not where my heart is anymore
And now, will things ever be the same again?

Into The Sea
06:20
|
|||
|
It's safe to say I've given up
Been fighting for too long
Everyday is drenched in grey
A bitter shade of indifference
I'd like to say that I still have hope
That everything will be just fine
But deep inside I know the truth
That hope is but a dream
Sometimes I look into the sea
To find the deepest truth
Every wave reflects it seems
A shade of pale blue
I'd like to feel the warmth of summer
That sense of inner peace
But below the depths I see the frost
That tells me winter's come
Let the tides wash me away
And all I used to be
Let the tides wash me away
I just want to be free
Cast aside all the doubt in your heart
Even when it tears you apart
Never let it break you

For The Vultures
05:13
|
|||
|
I've given all I had to give
There's nothing more to take
I am all but spent
In body, mind and soul
Don't know where to go
There's nowhere else to be
I am all but lost
In a sea of dreams
In circles above me the shadows fly
Awaiting the feast are the vultures
When the sun sets and the cold winds blow
I will be waiting for the vultures
I've lost all I had to lose
There's nothing more to gain
I am all but weary
In life, love and hope
Don't know where to go
There's nowhere else to be
I am all but lost
In a sea of dreams

Bury Me
07:58
|

|
Bury me beneath my imperfections
In the dirt where I belong
Unravel the tapestries of pain
To see the scars that wound me so
How much can one man take
Before those scars are too hard to bare
Lay me down below my indiscretions
The sins that I repeat
Undermine the curtain call of fate
To see the redemption that I crave
How long can one keep this up
Before the mask slips away
Bury me beneath my indecision
The crossroad of the broken
Unify the memory of hope
To see the light that calls me so
How long should one wait to feel
The warmth of life again

When Forever Dies
05:34
|
|||
|
At long last we've reached the end
The point of no return
Now it seems I'll say goodbye
To all I used to be
I've seen the fire and touched the flame
The pain that left me blind
I walk the rope, I walk the line
Into the shadow world
When forever dies
I'll see you all again
When eternity cries
I'll walk the path anew
At long last I see the end
The dawn before I turn
Now it seems I'll bid farewell
To all I could've been
I've seen the ice and felt the frost
The pain that's so unkind
I pave the step, I fall behind
Into the shadows fold
I'm tired of losing, tired of crying
I'm tired of lying alone in the dark
I long to see the light once more
Where the demons can't follow me
