You never let them walk way from what they borrow until they're gone of ghosts we are afraid we will become them in our chains with no past to claim due to sorrow tomorrows' dead and we let it go to waste now we swallow all the blame and let them be the same as the hollow promise made so let them be afraid you're under the spell drowning in fear what are you now? in the hole going down as above so below it happens all the time cant sustain under this heavy load never blossoms in your mind every plateau is a volcano makes you wonder how many signs you've missed saw the world over your shoulder and yes these wolves travel in packs but you'll grow smarter as you grow older don't damn it all the day is young those stolen moments under the bridge desolation cast to wander on unlock the puzzle pieces of the pie some things are better left alone all things decay it's in the air fall like trees we come and go till were gone gone daddy gone already gone watching the walls fall upon us slaves master rage spill blood on the page cages they rumble as minds cave it's bone against bone face it your own another star death another one is born spawned by the sword they became lords before it's too late someone should pull the chord hex round the neck gasping the air you were born to breath doom factors doom in your heart there's no room do you feel like there's something you were meant to do your crutch Midas touch eternal crux it's hard to have soul when you're mortal today is your day to sleight their game bring down the power of thunder graves begin to shake mountains they quake call on the flame turn it to ash eyes that are burning with freedoms reign now you're kneeling at the gallows these wounds are far too deep to moan now you looked death right in the eye and told him you're not afraid to die the poison dripping on your tongue the brazen blade no longer painful so let it go the broken arrow just let it go it happens all the time cant sustain under this heavy load never blossoms in your mind every plateau is a volcano

holy man you mold it and buy it so you hold it tight cold is the fire dulling your nerves as you slowly die holy man you watched it and tried it so let it slide what is this void lost as the world that it's coming to her body knows her body takes her body says you'll never find your way her eyes they burn behind the flame you're her captive you don't need a name her body kills her body makes her body tells your mind to wake encircled by snakes you contemplate the never ending sky just a drop of rain to kill the pain though it wont stop eye for eye this kingdom shakes these systems break and we're stuck in the middle seventh son you stand on the graves of these chosen ones your mind it played tricks so you blew it all away seventh son you wrestle with the future the damage is done you cant escape might as well have the time of your life are you hypnotized by the blood on the throne is the spell that is binding a word that everyone knows cant seem to elevate beyond these palace walls the venomous bite got you by the collar you've gone the way of the wolf her body sows her body reaps her body tells your mind to speak she's in the west she's in the east she's the one that haunts your sleep the moon is full she's in your soul your mind is gone so let her fill your walls these are her days mystery is in her cage so set her free and welcome in the new age encircled by snakes sinking in flaming lakes watch the whole world pass you by you come and go you take a dose you still have questions why this kingdom shakes these systems break and we're stuck in the middle

conqueror 06:40
were just skin and bones sticks and stones on ruins drifting all alone are there other worlds what did we land here for is the portals gate in the very lands we waste are we on a meteor heading to our doom we're sailing away or we're in the triangle hanging by a string never will i care the grim reaper wont pay my fair oceans spill into the sky there is no hell i got no alibis outcast to every night i'm outside of this human calling my name and the lights to blame mastered the pain it's been dark for days we're just playing parts a vast array of costumes through our sacred arts knowledge is the tool used to build an empire dancing on the screen we're taught how to live and dream risen from the ashes they engineered our doom were sailing away we're on the titanic hanging by a string i will not go down the grim reaper aint coming around calling my name and the lights to blame mastered the pain it's been dark for days like a conqueror through the back door got em on the floor hear them beg some more no enemies dropping em like trees everyday wake up knowing what will be will be breath fire dragon eyes i got the power inside firepower like a conqueror breaking down the doors got em on all fours hear them crying lord no stopping me rivers down the street knocked em off their feet now they're laying underneath breath fire dragon eyes i got the power inside firepower inside of me

no medicine 06:46
the wind is howling violent there isn't a prayer suicide to go out there see the dead come to life again the ancient curse revival they'll wonder where did we go with no medecine were out of our minds we cannot win we're out of our minds stranded again we're out of our minds is that what it takes to reach the end guess we'll find out when we fall my friend i'll go the distance to get there climb mountains too high to climb i'll give up my life to gain it nothing can stop me from crossing the line i'll fight forces of nature i'll break patterns finite i'll wage war on the war craft nothing can stop me from opening my eyes eyes open wide i come alive feel like you're falling in darkness through the atmosphere of their lies clinging to the shards of your life vest drowning in the sea of goodbyes born in a shallow grave born in a time when no one stands up for anything i'd rather die for freedom than be a slave everyday it is the day of reckoning the sun is blood red in the distance where the days go doesn't make no difference to me i'm devoted to the haze i'm down to meet my maker so are there any takers wanna watch me go down with no medicine i'm out of my mind i cannot win i'm out of my mind stranded again i'm out of my mind is that what it takes to reach the end guess we'll find out when we fall my friend i'll go the distance to get there climb mountains too high to climb i'll give up my life to gain it nothing can stop me from crossing the line i'll fight forces of nature i'll break patterns finite i'll wage war on the war craft nothing can stop me from opening my eyes eyes open wide i come alive

unchained 09:15
baby can you free me from my mind oh yah it's my own worst enemy it's leaving me behind i've tasted pure freedom though just a drop on my tongue caught a glimpse into the future and im still chasing what once was nowhere i run never can get to stare at the sun the picture's blinding out on a limb the branch is binding it seems it's all game the game is cutthroat im losing at cutthroat im on the outside looking into these black holes of my universe i don't need anymore lightning my lips are pale ive laid my money down with the gatekeeper and now im burning alive got the fire in my eyes forever fever dreaming in this cold cold night wisdom grows deep in my wounds drowning in moonlight i fall in the tomb there is no direction home home is the battlefield ive come to know im on the outside looking into these black holes of my universe you know im never going to be a millionaire there's more power in this crystal then in your dollar bill blood diamond blood thirsty it's in you it's in me never coming down ninth cloud never land
