With This Ring
04:42
|

Lies were spoken
Trust was broken
After all that we’ve been through
I still want to trust you
But how can I forgive?
How can I forget?
Ring around this broken
Pocket full of promises
All fall down
Your vows turned to ashes
This is the dance
You can’t break the broken
You can’t break a broken man
You can’t bend unbending
You can’t bend unbending will
So this is the dance
Round and round we go
This is the dance
With this…
Ring around this broken
Pocket full of promises
All fall down
Your vows turned to ashes
Trust still broken
After all that we’ve been through
I still love you
Ring around this broken
Pocket full of promises
All fall down
Your vows turned to ashes
This is the dance

A Flawed Design
03:33
|
|||
The human kind, in full decline
Breaks down society
Bring to life the things you thought, the things you hold so dear
To me they’re just another case of lost identity
Division of the masses breaks my heart
The vision of the masses blinds my eyes
The human mind will never learn
From past mistakes
Pay the price. The price we pay is paid in pain
And all that’s left is just another case of mass conformity
Division of the masses breaks my heart
The flaw is in the design
Human nature overrides
The very best made plans
Of mice and men
Go!
Why don’t you
Let me live
I’m not ready to die
I’m not ready to let you live
The flaw is in the design
Human nature overrides
The very best made plans

The Silent Man
04:07
|

Live
Living deep within
Living to pretend the pain was never really there
Fight
Fighting all your life
Fighting so that we don’t see it in your eyes
Break through!
Breaking through the static mold as you tear down the walls
And then you break the mold, you shoulder it all
Die
Dying deep within
Dying to pretend I see it in your eyes
No one knew
No one cared
Break him down, but no one cares
The silent man is always there
You break him down
Break through the walls of your own living hell
If the soul is a prison, tell me where we go from here
Break through!
Breaking through the static mold as you tear down the walls
And then you break the mold, you shoulder it all
Live
Living deep within
Living to pretend the pain was never really there
Fight all your life
Fighting so that we don’t see it in your eyes
Break him down, but no one cares
The silent man is always there
No one knew, and no one cared
The silent man was always there
No one knew
No one cared
Did his life or his death make a sound?
The silent man

These Empty Fields
04:08
|

These empty fields
Now green with time
Cover the scars
Of life left behind
No white crosses
Or flowers to tell
The names of the missing
Or of those who fell
These Empty Fields
Hold your last breath
A shattered mind
A broken soul
If you survive
A life-long toll
"No man left behind"
That’s the line you’re told
Fighting for freedom
That’s how you are sold
Trade in your name for a number
Trade your mind for sand
Fight ‘til the death
Do you kill on command?
These Empty Fields
Hold your last breath
Blessed are the fallen
Whose bodies lie broken
Buried and crossed off
In these empty fields
Blessed are our fallen sons
These empty fields
These empty fields!
These empty fields are calling…me!

Return to Dust
04:25
|
|||
What goes around must certainly come back around
If all things are connected, can mistakes be corrected?
Maybe not, but if so
You’d think we would know by now
Cycles repeating
Move fast, resource depleting
Of the earth, we are
Scraped by, so far
What we are, what we build
All is lost
We all must return to dust
We survive; how long?
Heed these words and despair
These works will last forever!
Epitaph in eternity
Monuments turned hollow shells
Dwell now in the land of dust!
I claim to be nothing
Nothing more than I am
Determination in a voice
We all have a choice
We all must return to dust
Withered lives move on
Heed these words and despair
These works will last forever!
Epitaph in eternity
Monuments turned hollow shells
Dwell now in the land of dust!
We all must return to dust
We survive; how long?
Withered lives move on
Heed these words and despair
These works will last forever!
Epitaph in eternity
In eternity
Monuments turned hollow shells
Dwell now in the land of dust!

Desensitized
02:25
|
|||
I have no regrets
I have no remorse
The flame, it burns at both ends
Now it’s my turn
I have become desensitized
Nowhere to run
You’re out of time
Deadly decline
I have become desensitized
Nowhere to run
Ignore the warning signs
There’s nowhere to run
You’re out of time
Let the cries hear you
Let their cries tear you
Let the cries hear you
Let their cries

Erase
04:39
|
|||
Confrontation; separation
Removal of church from the state
Brilliance fades as emotions fail
Too little - a little too late
How can you sit back watching it all unfold
Brace now for impact as you start to lose it all
Cannot withstand these let-downs again
When all I have done is erased in time
I think I know now what your angle is
And the way to stop you cold
Mono 'y mono is the way
And I can't find any other way to say
I will never, I will not be erased…Erase!
I have lived too long for all your condescension
I will not be putting you back on your shelf
But you always knew exactly what to say
When all I have done is erased in time
I think I know now what your angle is
And the way to stop you cold
Mono 'y mono is the way
And I can't find any other way to say
I will never, I will not be erased
All this time, I thought you could feel the sun
At least you should. Then you would never; never have to be alone
If there ever was a time when you backed your ass up on the line
And I thought maybe we had a chance
Though you knew we’d never last
I can't hold back or you would say I tried to get away
And I’ll grace you with a smile
You will be the extra mile
When all I have done is erased in time
I think I know now what your angle is
And the way to stop you cold
Mono 'y mono is the way
And I can't find any other way to say
I will never, I will not be erased
Now it's back on you
How do you like me now?
Now it's back on you…On you!
Erase!

Holding On
03:45
|
|||
This is my curse; self-inflicted
This is my will; struck down
Once more, pride caused my fall
To pick me up, that’s your call
You say I’ve had my chances
You say I’m never changing
Look inside
I’m bearing all I have
But only to the door you’re closing
Don’t walk away
No sleep tonight
I’m wide awake tracing all these shadows on the wall
Lying alone
I wonder if you’re cold out there, like your heart of stone
This is my; this is my self destruction
This is my; this is my self-inflicted
How much time will it take to heal?
‘Cause life’s too short
Regret, everlasting
Grief, too long
Each and every memory just like another wound
It’s time to heal
Time to heal!
And somehow all I hate about you is gone
And so now all that’s left is me dying to see you again
This is me; this is me when hope fails
This is me; this is me oh just barely
Holding on
Oh, just barely
Holding on
Never again to see your face
Never again to feel you
This is me; this is me when hope fails
This is me; this is me oh just barely
Holding on
Oh, just barely
Holding on

Better Left Unsaid
03:39
|
|||
You
Bet you left 'em cold
If I scream, would you understand?
If I break down, would you hold my hand?
You're not the only one who's lost his shining sun
You're not the only
You're not the only!
If I smashed the silence, would you hear me?
Or is it better left
Better left unsaid?
You
Bet you left 'em cold
You couldn't hear and couldn't see
I cannot breathe
When it's all lost; taken away
What's left to be?
You're not the only one who's lost his shining sun
You're not the only
You're not the only one who has lost all his life

Forever Ends Tomorrow
03:32
|
|||
Cut from the vein
Severed thread of life
Down fell a man
Cut to his core
Humbled and beaten
Humbled, beaten down
Up rose a sickening sound
His crushed, broken shell
You, me
That's how it used to be
No more, this time
Now I know you
Taste life
Sometimes it's bitter
That’s how you know
You know you’re alive
Take this moment, throw it all away
Take tomorrow, throw it all away
I cast these things aside
Make no mistake; I know you now
I see right through you
And how it's just a sick game of breaking lives
And now it's for the win
Take tomorrow, throw it all away
Take forever, throw it all away
For life would you throw me…?
For this moment would you…?
For life would you throw me away?
For this moment would you hold me down?
Take tomorrow, throw it all away
Take forever, throw it all
Throw it all away

System Fails
04:29
|
|||
Parasite!
Born to bleed the system
Fail to feed the system
Need to need the system
Live to leech the system dry
What do you do when the system fails?
Fall down, stay down
Parasite, always feeding
What do you do when the blood runs dry?
Fall apart, but that's ok
After all, we know it's just your way
Brick by brick
You’re building the walls to your own prison cell
Fall apart, but that's ok
After all, we know it's just your way
Point your finger with no discretion
But who's to blame when it’s at your reflection?
Not your fault
No, it was never, ever your fault
That's right!
Brick by brick
You're building the walls to your own living hell
Parasite!
The system fails
Parasite!
Crumbles before you
Parasite!
It's not your fault
Parasite!
Mediadore you
Fall apart, but that's ok
After all, we know it's just your way
Blame the system to no avail
But some would say that it was you who failed
Some play the victim for all to see
Some say the victim's society
