Burning buildings
in the street
On the ground
to their feet
Sing a hymn
a madness song
The purge has come
let's play along
We live in fear
just watch and wait
then close the door
Is this hell's gate?
The watchful eye
above sees all
Breathe the fumes
and watch them fall
|

Perfume from an afterlife drifts by
Reminder of the time spent alone
Should've seized the moment while it's there
Now your life's a memory... and no one cares
But you never could have them
It could never have been
All your life was regrets
Now your dark essence is set free.
|

We watch the sunrise
then all is lost
Stay in your corner
and never trust
We watch the pieces fall
as madness calls your name
Fear the right hand
and close your eyes
Get taught a lesson
full of lies
Fear the violence
and the silence that sings
Round and round
it spirals down
Feel a sting across your face
It's black and white
and always right
with a heart full of rage
We fear the right hand
and close our eyes
We're taught a lesson
full of lies
Fear the violence
and the bells that ring

Faces pressed against the glass
Reflects a darkness of the past
Just wishing all of this could be done
The mothers call to their sons
To remember
But the fear takes control
As reality arrives
Crawl into this cold dark cell
Feel the comforts of your personal hell
and remember
Youthful days are over
The asylums open wide
Listen for the mournful voice
of the trusted ones who lied
they remember
Spirits haunt us from the past
as eyes are lifted towards the sky
with a dream for better days
As our Eden has run dry
Remember
Remember

Lost forever
Can't find the way
Silent nights
and endless days
A heavy dawn
brings the day
unto my shoulders
as it fades away
Into this maze
of smoke and steam
Black clouds rise
and the engine screams
Lost forever
Can't find the way
Silent nights
and endless days
|
||||

||||
Outside we lie
in silence as the stars - go by
Wishing...
for better days to come
I never thought it would end this way
Inside... you cry
a silent whisper as the train goes by
And takes me away
from everything that brought us to this day
Good bye
Good bye

Take a breath
Feel the breeze?
Smell my death?
A Lilac wind
She says to me:
“My darkness is a friend”
But I never know
if it’s real or a dream
Hear the scream
That signals
The end
Walk a tightrope
(Abyss)
Watch the lights
(Dance)
In the mist
As death kisses
(My lips)
But I never know
if it’s real or a dream
Hear the scream
That calls you home
Hear the flies
Sing their song
A white dust
In your eyes
And on the ground
But I never know
what is real
Or what’s a dream
Hear the scream
That calls for a new death
A new death
A new death

Cast adrift on a lonely sea
I hear the siren sing to me:
“Start again. It’s a new day…
the storm has past”
But a darkness lingers in the distance
Watching all I do
Waiting for the moment
To pull me under
To drag me down
Tear this ship a sunder
and sing this hymn of grief
Oh, Soteria… come to me
Soteria… calm these waves
Oh, Soteria sing to me.
Soteria
Soteria

Hear the night sing its song
a lullaby for the lonely
No one there now to blame
just a life filled with shame
Now alone in the dark
An angel of death that left its mark
Faded thoughts that bleed and stain
the thinly shrouded dead remains
A faded heart will live forever
guided by the lure of pleasure
Faded heart
This faded heart
A faded heart will live in sin
guided by a voice within
Faded heart
This faded heart
Hear the night call your name
A hue and cry to the lonely
Never there to take the blame
for a life that’s set aflame
Moving slowly; drift away
from the dreams of yesterday

Daylight burns these vacant eyes
Time only seers the wound
Cant run away, just disguise
the dark empty world that haunts you
Night time heals these empty eyes
Distance tears the world
A new dawn fades before it begins
Our cruel world now defines you
Moonlight warms these frozen eyes
Tears can't heal the wound
A world that ends before it begins
Emptiness now consumes you.
Moonlight warms these frozen eyes
Moonlight warms these frozen eyes
