Once upon a time, in a foreign land the death grip of a sinner's words took me by the hand When nothing's left to live for, and you can see the end remember everything you've done and live it all again Travelling back in a memory crash, i saw the past unfold and you can never change a thing when all you touch will turn to worthless gold The ghost of time is chasing down loose ends within your past And everything you hold onto was never meant to last Fading through the static And into the light Everything is fading from grey to black tonight Time slips away Years pass you by emerging once again at the point where you arrive Yesterday calls But you can't reply forever escaping The ghost of time Inspiration dawning, I followed to the end And found myself back where I started, the cycle never ends When nothing's left to live for, and the end is drawing near do you think of what you love, or let die or disappear The past spread out before me, I take a different road and change my path forever as I change where I will go The ghost of time is chasing down all that I ever did And finally I saw just what he meant Fading through the static And out of my sight Everything is fading Into the night

One more moment in the night racing towards the morning's light no clues as to where we go no more changes left to show no more time will pass me by no-one's coming home tonight terror seizes fragile minds fear and panic leaves them blind broken in the shadows now letting go of faith somehow no more time will pass me by no-one's coming home tonight darkest just before the final hour and death will come for all of us tonight The morning bleeds afresh, our hearts put to the test as gunfire rips the fabric of the sky wide open The skyline burns with fire, faith and corrupt desire The shadows fall, the wounded sky is breaking open Memories crawling back, reality fades to black As you reminisce of how it was before Hellish visions, spiteful derision are all that's left now, of what was left before Breaking open, war unspoken The wheel of fortune has turned nowhere left to go, and playing with fire just gets you burned confusion setting in, can't tell where we've been as disaster strikes again & again the skyline tears apart, bleeding from the heart and burning up inside the pain memories crawling back, everything fades to black and falls apart at the seams clawing at the light, stuck inside this night where no-one hears the screams no more time will pass me by no-one's coming home tonight darkest just before the final hour and death will come for all of us tonight

Stuck in a moment, surrounded by lies cloaked in the stories, and befriending disguise No-one knows what to think anymore No-one can walk the endless road of the pursuit of truth An weary journey with no end A soldier with nothing he can defend And all these lies that he heard they said Are all that's left now the truth is gone and dead All of these lies left to us All of these truths that are left to rust When can we hope to be honest and when will it stop this time? Fear is gripping our minds and stopping what we say Just try to carry on and live to fight another day Carry on; no-one knows what could be found within you And now we're stuck, forever searching for the truth Broken in the shadows The tension's rising once again And all that's left of promises Is an empty and forgotten name All of these lies left to us All of these truths that are left to rust When can we hope to be honest and when will it stop this time? One more story left to tell as we battle our own hell We'll carry on And we'll reach the time when we have nothing to say And we'll find ourselves someday One last time we begin the search for the truth we crave the most So we can have something to hold onto when everything is lost All of these lies left to us All of these truths that are left to rust When can we hope to be honest and when will it stop this time?

Another lonely home, fading in the glow Of a life that used to be It's burning brighter now, growing fainter now And reality becomes the dream Lost, but not forgotten Always flying blind Never finding where to stay I cross the oceans in my mind All I want is a place to call my own And not a place where I'd waste my life alone Another day when I feel the same I'll know that I can go through it all again So take my hand and guide me home Cause I know I can't make it on my own So erase the visions in my mind; you know that you can take your time As the seconds slip away, I realise that I'm awake This lonely home is breaking down I used to search for a place, where I could rest my mind and stay And now I'm leaving what I found So take me with you when you go And be my light so I can carry on And guide me to a place where I can stay I know that you can help me find a way This lonely home breathes again But nothing seems to feel the same And home is where I know that I belong And I know that you can help me carry on

Lost inside yourself Waiting for the end Battle for control Dying once again MIxed emotions conflict your time is running out as you fade to black emotions die without a sound Forever tangled up in The dance of eternity Fighting for control remember nothing at all slipping farther down and screaming underground the truth has shown the lie Don't let it pass you by Feeling myself start to fade Starting to slip once again Nothing can slow me down storming winds rage at me and I can't seem to breathe now i'm spinning around Different layers start to blur Things aren't as clear as before now I'm starting to lose myself Can't seem to keep a grip And I'm starting to slip Into my own hell Waiting for the end It seems forever since it started holding on again and never letting go

She fades from day to day the clouds grow near and grey she never lets herself get clear enough to fade away she's held in stasis now but moving through somehow and nightmares haunt her until she's screaming out without a sound one more day in this mental prison will pass the time away she's always submerged in her own reality And now she's surfacing again And now she's trying to recall whether she was there at all and she's drifting away as she begins to fall Now the clocks are ticking down the dream prison spinning around And her visions cloud the world that she's surrounded by She's drifting in sanity Waiting to be free As she breaks the surface underneath a blood-red sky And as she slowly breaks the surface Another cycle is beginning She can't escape from day to day, she feels confused and so afraid And now the dream begins again

You're spinning round, you're falling down and now you're on the edge You're wasting time, you've crossed the line and now you're thinking of what you said Just take a breath, you'll be okay If you can come around Just stay awake, don't let it go or let yourself fall down And now you've lost your gip You're falling somehow You're losing consciousness As you're floating down You're shattering, and everything is starting to get confused You're lost inside, your mind has died And reality's like a bruise No turning back, and you know that You're only sinking deeper Just wait and see, where you will be when you become the sleeper And now you're fading through into your disillusion and now it's all just like a vision a twisted hallucination One more attempt to bring you back Will only send you deeper A never ending cycle As you become a sleeper And as you float on down hallucinations twist around you A deeper stream of consciousness Is coming into view

Your thoughts begin come to life another message coming through a call to anybody out there from someone just like you You're not alone, there's others drifting like you in peaceful agony and though you'll never see them pass you by they'll always give you company You're intercepting a new transmission from far above And now you know that you're not alone anymore You're stuck in isolation no way to get back home And all these words come floating down And make a place within your soul They comfort you, they take you over and fill your mind Messages from the ones you left behind You're intercepting a new transmission from far above And the silence seems much quieter than it did before And now you realise that the walls aren't quite as close as they used to be And now you know that you're not alone anymore But one day, you'll leave this place and come back to reality And one day, you'll fade away and start to come back home again And one day, you'll leave this place And come back to your life And maybe you'll come back to where it started And you can say hello again

Panic setting in / Confusion sickening Nowhere I can go / Sinking down below Sense of fear sets in / clutching at my skin Caught in the undertow A memory crash takes hold / confusion grips my soul Forever falling down / never stopping now Constant motion turns / conflict starts to burn As I'm falling down Visions start to blur / my stomach starts to churn Nothing seems to change / but nothing is the same The cycle's setting in / I can't tell where I've been As the never-ending nightmare starts again I'm slowly breaking down / forever spinning round I'm losing focus now / and falling to the ground I can't help myself / it seems I'm losing grip Slipping through the cracks (and breaking as I fall) my vision fades to black (can you hear me call?) And reality's left behind (spinning round and round we go) There's no escape this time (I can't let up, I can't let go) Descending far below (into the depths of my mind) I'm caught up in the undertow (I'm spinning round, I'm flying blind) Confusion infiltrates my mind (I can't keep my mind on track) And I leave this world behind (as my vision fades to black) Fueled by adrenaline / the terror soon kicks in I'm fighting to be freed I'm lost inside this state / I can't seem to escape The darkness imprisons me Panic gripping tight / holds throughout the night Which never comes to an end And I'm falling down / and forever spinning around As I continue to descend

You start to open up your eyes And reach out to your life again You're breaking through the static dream your cycle's coming to an end Surrounded by The people that you know And now you're starting to fade out And you're letting go And now you're slipping back again And now you're breaking through the pain As you start to come around again Awakening, once again you start to come around They always thought that you were lost But you've been found A moment, stuck in time when you finally break through the clocks are ticking down And it all comes back to you Now you're a million miles away You're out of touch and out of mind And nothing's gonna change you now You're leaving it all behind Slipping back to where you were You're slowly losing grip again And now you sink into yourself And the cycle begins again
13.
As we slowly drift away we're losing consciousness again another day has passed us by and now the clocks are ticking in the sky the cycle is beginning again and as we begin to comprehend the meaning starts to change and the world begins to fade from grey to black floating in suspension now permanently lost somehow Nothing's left the way it was And nothing will stay the same, because
