Intro

LYRICS

Mourning the loss of reflections we knew;
Praying someday that our souls will be renewed.
Ride endlessly
Now I can’t see
My apathy
is eating me

Hearing the calls of reflections we knew;
Lost in the mirror, your soul to be renewed.
Fly endlessly
Help me to see
My agony
Is killing me.

Seeing the souls of reflections we knew;
Praying someday that our souls will be with you.
Once broken men
Beaten and damned
Reach out your hand
Help me to stand.

Reflections

LYRICS

Pain fills my soul
Mirror, show me how far I fell
My reflection shows who I really am 
And I’m lost in my sin
Could you hold my hand
Could you lead me to the promised land
my reflection shows where I really am 
Now I’ve traveled too far to stand

Shattered memories, like seven years bad luck
Seems to follow like a mirror of my life
A putrid history of things I’ve left undone
Interrupts the dreams I strive to find

Hate fills my mind 
A release I try to find
My reflection shows what I really am
A worthless, prideful man
Would you take my my hand
Would you show me to the promised land
My reflection knows where I really stand 
Now I’ve fallen too far to stand

Mirrors

LYRICS

I am hate
I wish I hadn’t changed
I self-medicate to stop from crying
Stay stone-faced
To hide my heart
I’m not the same.

I am hate
I am pain
Oh, I wish I hadn’t changed
My knuckles bleed from trying
I self-medicate to stop from crying.

Stay stone-faced
to hide my heart
I’m not the same.

Melissa's Song

LYRICS

I feel like a sailor, who went out to sea
No compass to guide me, mapless and wandering
A hopeless sinner, lost in this ocean
And how will I be saved, if I'm all alone?

The siren's song, it calls to me
"Run to the sea, boy, come unto me"
But all in all, I'm lost, so lost

Fear and dread are my companions
Hope and light, my enemies
A hopeless sinner, tossed by this ocean
And how will I be saved, if I'm all alone?

The siren's song, it calls to me
"Run to the sea, boy, come unto me"
But all in all, I'm lost

So-

The siren's song, it calls to me
"Run to the sea, boy, come unto me"
But all in all, I'm lost

I'm so lost
Oh, Lord, I'm lost
So lost...

The Boy In The Ocean

LYRICS

Raised diamond fine
Placed your dreams in mine
But what we wanted was forgotten, in time
I’m not lost at sea, but
I know I can’t be
What you always wanted of me.

Oh, a vision of it there
Dances on the stair
Bringing melancholy, bittersweet and warm.
Oh, a vision of it there 
Dances on the stair
And it lulls me 
As it softly calls me away.

But all that I wanted was your love,
not to war or to covet
Just a place to serenely abide.
All that I wanted was your love,
and a simple, quiet place in your mind.
All I ever wanted was
All I ever wanted was
All I ever wanted was your love.

Raised diamond fine
Placed your dreams in mine
But what we wanted was forgotten, in time
I’m not lost at sea, but
I know I can’t be
What you always wanted of me.

Oh, a vision of it there
Dances on the stair
Bringing melancholy, bittersweet and warm.
Oh, a vision of it there 
Dances on the stair
And it lulls me 
As it softly calls me away.

But all that I wanted was your love,
not to war or to covet
Just a place to serenely abide.
All that I wanted was your love,
and a simple, quiet place in your mind.
All I ever wanted was
All I ever wanted was
All I ever wanted was your love.

Oh my dear, I was in heaven when I was with you
Can't you see
Can't you see?
Why can't you see
Why won't you see
All I ever wanted was your love.

A Simple, Quiet Dream

LYRICS

Loneliness I can feel
Is something I just can’t heal
And as the pain holds me down
Slowly drowning my soul

You turned your back and walked away
There’s nothing more for you to say
I hear your footsteps leaving
And the dark consuming me

Oh, me

Can you save me now?
I can’t seem to rise above
I can’t seem to fight enough

Can you save me now? 
This is my last hope
This is my last chance

Lost, alone I turn from love
Father, why are you so far?
It’s my fault I choose this path
To live alone
But I still ask why
Affections placed wrong and I try
Please forgive my selfish pride
This sorrow was mine

Can you save me now?
I can’t seem to rise above
I can’t seem to fight enough

Can you save me now? 
This is my last hope
This is my last chance

Noose Of The Lonely

LYRICS

I can’t even see
Darkness all around me
All I hear are screams
In my panicked mind

Can’t breathe
Can’t move
Can’t live without you (x2)

My body wounded and restless
Sleep like a cloud I can’t grasp
Thoughts like a raging tide
Now I’m drowning
My body tethered and frayed
Tossed like a ship on the waters
All chance of rescue gone
I’m lost

Soaked from head to toe
Chill of night has found me
Growing tired of fighting 
Starting to give in

Can’t breathe
Can’t move
Can’t live without you (x2)

My body wounded and restless
Sleep like a cloud I can’t grasp
Thoughts like a raging tide
Now I’m drowning
My body tethered and frayed
(I'm falling apart)
Tossed like a ship on the waters
(You're slipping away)
All chance of rescue gone
(Gone! I'm so lost!)
I’m lost

Save me, O God
For the waters have come up to my neck
I sink in the deep mire
where there is no foothold
I have come into deep waters
and the flood sweeps over me
I am weary with my crying out
my throat is parched
My eyes grow dim
with waiting for my God

Can’t breathe
Can’t move
Can’t live without you (x2)

Letters From The Well

LYRICS

The sky was dark over Odin’s Hall
The storm clouds rollin’ in
The raindrops fall
The dragon’s call
The din of malice and bloodshed

Young man, won’t you hear my words?
Run for your life!
The angels have come
Your solace has gone
And death will bear down upon you

Flight of the Valkyrie
Death’s last embrace
Hear me, O my son
And listen for their wings

Flight of the Valkyrie
Fate’s screaming face
Listen well, O warrior
Valhalla calls your name

Even in this present age
There’s horrors to be found
Everywhere you turn and look
There’s darkness all around

Death does not fly on gilded wings
It festers in our hearts
So now, my son
Take heed and run
Leave your valkyries behind

Flight of the valkyrie
Death’s last embrace
Hear me, O my son
And listen for their wings

Flight of the valkyrie
Fate’s screaming face
Listen well, O warrior
Valhalla calls your name

She calls your name, O warrior
She calls your name

Flight Of The Valkyrie

LYRICS

You are right here
You’re right here beside me
Protecting me
With each thought and each prayer
I know that you are guiding my footsteps
Shadow, please lead me there

I see you there
When I walk in the sunshine
Always with me
In your unchanging form
I feel you near
When I’m lost in the darkness
Whispering “wanderer, come home”

Help me please, Shadow please come to me
Life so dense I can hardly breathe
Now I see what my own life has done to me
In this twisted reality

I can never be as pure as you, Shadow
I simply am a reflection of you
Beaten, and shattered, from all my transgressions
Striving to be like you

Help me please, Shadow please come to me
Life so dense I can hardly breathe
Now I see what my own life has done to me
In this twisted reality

I see you there
I know you're there
I see you there
I know you're there
