The rivers have become diseased Breaking down the ground that they flow through What has brought this curse upon the land Visions of prophecies are coming true The end is near Darkness has caste it’s shadow As the fires scorch the land You can see it in the eyes As a plague has fallen on man Looking for a way out of this Man starts to look to the skies Traveling through space and time As his world, withers and dies A gift inherited from the gods Now the inheritance has no worth Nature will begin to start its cleanse Taking back the gift to begin a rebirth The end is here Darkness has caste it’s shadow As the fires scorch the land You can see it in the eyes As a plague has fallen on man There is no turning back And what is done is done There will be no salvation And the time to pay has come

Safety came crashing down Clouds of confusion arose Left searching for the answers And those who cast the stones As we march into war Untold agenda came with us Accepted by the people Still so hungry for justice We watch as men become the gods Making freedom from the blood of man Innocent lives feed their machines It breeds contempt throughout the land As people starve for the truth And clouds of confusion fade away They just hand out the fear To keep the hunger at bay The Fear slowly turns to hate Inside the masses churning This is the fuel that they need To keep their fires burning Now we fight, an enemy with no face, no identity Just an idea, fed to us So we can, fight endlessly The scene is put into place By the story that was told And we were left with nothing After buying the freedom that they sold We watch as men become the gods Making freedom from the blood of man Innocent lives feed their machines It breeds contempt throughout the land From our foe we’ve pull the blade And a void was left filled with hate And a price yet to be paid

Another day another journey Into the dark abyss What mistakes have lead me here What opportunities did I miss The whole scene is just a blur The world is just passing me by And at the end of it all I feel a small part of me die Into the great wide nothing I have been, been consumed At the end of the journey There is just no relief Just the thought of starting again Filled with disbelief Every misstep that I have taken Just replays inside my mind And those what if scenarios Are all just lost in the sands of time Into the great wide nothing I have been consumed How has this darkened journey Become my burden to bare Lifeless I go cold and limp Into the great wide nothing I stare Into the great wide nothing I have been, been consumed Into the great wide nothing I am, I am consumed

Trying to hide from yourself but you had no where to go Looking for some darkness you cast out a shadow Trapping me in this darkness while you hide Making it hard to see who you were deep inside I thought I was trapped inside my own darkness And I could not climb out Weighed down by emptiness You put a mask on the back darkness Hiding all that was wrong You used this to suffocate me till the Weakness of innocence was gone now all that is left behind is this hardened shell A shadow of a man with no stories to tell Now I realize that This is not my darkness I am no longer trapped In the depths of emptiness Who I thought you were Never existed Deep inside I knew But I resisted To hear the truth And open my eyes to see We are bonded by blood But we were never family Finally out of your shadows But strings of guilt are pulling So I put up a grey stone wall To keep me from falling One day I will have the strength to caste out this stone Even if that means one day I will walk alone I must never trap Manyone in my darkness So I have to move past To fill my emptiness

When I was young, I always thought, that things would be, different the older I got I would become, who I thought I was, and the feeling of, failure would finally stop I just don’t understand What could have went so wrong My future felt so blinding And now that light is gone Looking into the mirror, and I don’t even recognize this man, who is staring back at me Dead behind the eyes, broken and defeated, A shell of the man, I thought I was meant to be I used to have all these hopes And all these dreams to chase They have all passed me by Hope has been laid to waste I have, been, heading, down, the, road to, no where, for far too long I, need to, re light, the path, before, I am, lost and, all hope is gone To reignite this fire I have to search for the man I thought I was meant to be so I go deep inside I did find that man he was buried in my heart and I never became him because he already died It took me too long to realize That this ghost I have chased Kept me from seeing what I had Time has been laid to waste Now I understand what I was meant to do make my own way and set myself free Open my eyes and see past myself embrace the life that has been given to me

In a moment, the world stood still And life would be, changed forever With one breath, a rose not fully bloomed Would lose her petals, in a cold December As I stare into, trembling hands Shaken by, the throes of reality But blind eyes, left inside the darkness Cannot search for the light inside tragedy Even though your petals, may have fallen I will never let you, be forgotten x2 A wondering mind, lost in emotion Falls into a, never ending sorrow Time will eventually, heal all wounds But nothing fills the void, that waits tomorrow After solo The wounds only deepen as I watch the passing time The void runs like a river that floods my mind Even though your petals, may have fallen I will never let, you be forgotten Can’t wait for time to clear the flood So I’ve put up walls for me to hide But Sometimes you have walk through the darkness To get lthrough to the other side

15 years ago , I asked you to Hold my hand and go, On this journey with me We knew there would be, peaks and valleys Trials and tribulations, As far as we could see Full of rough roads and blackened skies Burning bridges and broken ties And With the horizon a life time away Right Here by my side you have always stayed!!!!!!! 15 years have come and gone through fire and brimstone we still stand And Even though we got lost on our way We found our own path, still hand in hand Full of rough roads and blackened skies Burning bridges and broken ties And With the horizon a life time away Right Here by my side you have stayed I Took for granted the things within my grip Tightened my hold so I don’t let them slip There have been many ups and downs Demons that have risen from the ground People who became just memories Are Now just ghosts hidden in the trees Alone we fought against them all These Vultures preying on our fall We never fell just pushed towards a new day With the beasts left in wait wasting away

As it slowly closes in It take its hold on me The sickness it draws near Gripping all that I see Trapped inside this world Where I have lost control And I can only watch As it takes it's toll Everything is flashing past Time seems to be motionless Stepping through a pinhole From one world to the next Lost in the darkness Within my own mind Drifting no where Traveling through time Now we must feed the beast Feed it, so it can be pushed away Back to the void from which it came Trap it inside the darkness so it stays Slipping and falling trapped inside the vertigo
