"He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man"
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay. I tried to drive all through the night, the heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights. No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me.
Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone). Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction. My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone). No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.
As I adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights will take me to new heights. My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite. Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right. Mental fiction, follow me; show me what it's like to be set free.
Jealousy's an ugly word, but you don't seem to care Converse behind my back, but now I'm here Need no one to comply with me through everyone that I defeat Don't need you, fuck camaraderie, this rage will never go away
Hatred fuels my blood, I'll burn ya down (you can't help me) One king to watch the horsemen fall, I'll fight 'til the end (I won't help you) I can't trust anyone, see it in my eyes Now I can understand, it's sorrow that feeds your lies
You're on my back when the water gets too deep for you to breath A crutch for you that won't always be there Hide in the dark another day, the fear in you is here to stay So keep the fuck away from me and learn to trust the words I say
Hatred fuels my blood, I'll burn ya down (you can't help me) One king to watch the horsemen fall, I'll fight 'til the end (I won't help you) I can't trust anyone, witness and see it in my eyes Now I can understand, put faith in you for the last time It's sorrow that feeds your lies
This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence, There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep. A city of evil. There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head. Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked. The Beast and the Harlot.
She's a dwelling place for demons. She's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings. Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh and pearls. Her plagues will come all at once as her mourners watch her burn. Destroyed in an hour. Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too. Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky, The Beast and the Harlot.
She's a dwelling place for demons. She's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings. Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
The day has come for all us sinners. If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground. Flee the burning, greedy city. Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around.
I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell. You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see. Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us, You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever.
She's a dwelling place for demons. She's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird and makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings. Fallen now is Babylon the Great. [x2]
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find While I recall all the words you spoke to me Can't help but wish that I was there Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I'm not around when I'm much too far away We all need that person who can be true to you But I left her when I found her And now I wish I'd stayed 'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no Once again
There's nothing here for me on this barren road There's no one here while the city sleeps and all the shops are closed Can't help but think of the times I've had with you Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I'm not around when I'm much too far away We all need that person who can be true to you I left her when I found her And now I wish I'd stayed 'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no Once again
Some search, never finding a way Before long, they waste away I found you, something told me to stay I gave in, to selfish ways And how I miss someone to hold when hope begins to fade...

Yeah, you've been alone I've been gone for far too long But with all that we've been through After all this time I'm coming home to you
Never let it show The pain I've grown to know 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes My heart's always with you now I won't question why so many have died My prayers have made it through yeah 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
Letters keep me warm Helped me through the storm But with all that we've been through After all this time I'm coming home to you
I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes My heart's always with you now I won't question why so many have died My prayers have made it through yeah 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen. So unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you. Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste. Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway.
I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right. Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be, Arrived too early.
And when I think of all the places I just don't belong, I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far.
I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear, escape from this afterlife. 'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here.
A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain. Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you. Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste. Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway.
This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall). No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall). So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign. I've made up my mind.
Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye. Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life.
I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife. 'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here. Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you. This place full of peace and light, and I'd hoped you might, Take me back inside, when the time is right.
Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me. I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening. Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be. (Who are you? I'm broken, I'm choking on this ecstasy.) Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me (Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live.)
I feel insane Every single time I'm asked to compromise 'Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways And that's the way it stays So how long did I expect love to outweigh ignorance? By the look on your face I may have forced the scale to tip
I'm not insane, I'm not insane I'm not insane, I'm not... not insane
(Mother) Come back to me it's almost easy (Said it all) Come back again it's almost easy
Shame pulses through my heart from the things I've done to you It's hard to face but the fact remains that this is nothing new I left you bound and tied with suicidal memories Selfish beneath the skin but deep inside I'm not insane
I'm not insane, I'm not insane I'm not insane, I'm not... not insane
