1. Oracle


A glance over your own shoulder
A vow that today will stand out Caged in a routine
Intent unknown
The element Of surprise
Impact undetermined but vast
Mark me...
Brandishing a cold loaded smile Simplicity,
subtlety, discordance fate and allegory
Everything has itīs purpose and you will suffer for what youīve done



2. Mouthful Of Poison


lood spilled
Heart-felt
Head filled
Play dead...
Consider yourself now, my friend Enemy number one
You are bound and gagged, sacred circle broken trust
Now the plague has been cast in your town, acid tongue venom word
Why bother to lie?
Leave the lamp behind.
Your mouth full of (lead and lies)
Donīt walk in to fire
You might find that youīll get burned
What a find dirty face
Guilt at last, is this a lesson thatīs learned?
Can you hear your own blood in your veins, calling out your demise?
Silence a word to the wise...
Your mouth full of (lead and lies)
I canīt hear you scream
Drowning so it seems your mouth is full of poison...



3. In Winter


You fell to the ground like rain
On deaf ears your cries met hands And knees were blistered
Shouting from the tallest tree
You declared wrong
But they never listen
Thereīs safety in numbers
This cold-hearted world!
The Coldest Winter...
You donīt see me like I know you
Hiding behind glass
So sickened by grief
You canīt let them win
Theyīll have you
Playing life makes death so good
This cold-hearted world!
The Coldest Winter...
You donīt know, And you never will!



4. Severed


Look at you now
Eyes wide open
Truth begged to be told
I walk around in circles to revisit Where Iīve always been
You spoke of where your heart was
I thought
I knew you well
Ties that bind you have been severed
Look at you now
Eyes wide open
Truth begged to be told
I want to make you feel this
Trusting arms let me fall once again
I stood close to an enemy and Closer to a friend
Ties that bind you have been severed.
Look at you now
Eyes wide open
Truth begged to be told



5. Run Like Hell


un run run run run run run run Run, YEAH!
You better make your face up in Your favourite disguise
With your button down lips and your Roller blind eyes
With your empty smile
And your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters when the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter down the door
Youīd better run!
Run run run run run run run run
Run, YEAH!
You better run all day and run all night
And keep your dirty feelings deep inside
And if youīre taking your Girlfriend out tonight
Youīd better park the car well out of sight
Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks
Theyīre gonna send you back to mother in a cardboard box
You better run!
Run run run run run run run run
Run, YEAH!



6. Pain


I feel your pain
Almost lost it all
You are all the same
The wounded bleed to death
Tarnish my name
You deserve nothing at all...
You knew that life was a game...
You deserve nothing at all...
You must endure your own PAIN!
Life in the dark without a light
Hollow empty
Letīs get it right
You deserve nothing at all...
You knew that life was a game...
You deserve nothing at all...
Red dress serpent...
Just stop it..
Just stop it...
Red dress serpent and youīll stay here!
You deserve nothing at all...
You knew that life was a game...
You deserve nothing at all...
YOU MUST ENDURE YOUR OWN PAIN!



7. Wolves


It crawls along the floor subdued
Nothing amounts to
Nothing realizing
Nothing afraid of
Nothing act upon
Nothing stopping at
Nothing consider
Nothing consequence
Nothing
Comes Back
Like Wolves!
Hydra dead times six cowering
Nothing amounts to
Nothing realizing
Nothing afraid of
Nothing act upon
Nothing stopping at
Nothing consider
Nothing consequence
Nothing
Comes Back
Like Wolves!
If I could, I would have begged you



8. What I Always Wanted


Opened up itīs revealed!
Savour this
Dont get lost in a lie!
Hit or miss
Beside, myself, push on
Whatīs to come must be proved
Focus bliss
Charcoal stares
One foot at a time
Smear those lines
I thought I found
What I always wanted
Bear with me
I thought I found
What I always wanted
Bear with me
Certainty
Is not at hand
I canīt keep my eyes open
Chose not to listen
I thought I found
What I always wanted
Bear with me
I thought I found
What I always wanted
I got what I wanted
I got just what I always wanted
I got what I wanted
I got just what I always wanted



9. Safe


In the darkness
Troubled waters
Lies a flicker
Of homes fire
Come to your senses
Wager a risk
I wonīt let go
Waiting for dreams
Itīs wonderful
Reality
I watch as
This golden bird flies free
In this ash-vault
A rose garden
These walls will never
See me just to
Save me
Save me



10. No Name


Indeed I will condescend
Exhausting every trace to give you,
What you asked for
Everything you demanded you bleed right from me
At last, I will be free
And the phoenix rises
Invasion of my last hope
For once just know your place
We are only human
Everything you demanded you bleed right from me
So weak you cannot see
Corruption at its finest



11. Pink Lemonade


Trusted you
With my life
Shattered dreams
Broken glass
I hope there is a closure
Down your path
For I have yet to find
The means to forgive
So what if this was all I had?
Is it over?
Washing away
And forget to see
Go choose your way
Leaving everything
You walked away from this
Did it make it easier on you?
So now what?
Life must go on still haunted
Itīs so hard to face the day
I hope it is good for you
I tried, oh how I tried, but itīs broken
Let me go, I could have died
