Lyrics: 

And I just want you to be strong
Don't forget, you are the reason for happiness
A pacifist, of the  heart
I feel your warmth even when we're apart

Never forget that you are the reason
A breeze like the passing of seasons
Another hit finds its mark
Remember to be strong even when the lights go dark

(Even when the lights go dark,
even when the lights go dark)

I won't let them hurt you
I promise, I promise
I won't let them hurt you
Even if the lights go dark

(I won't let them hurt you
I promise, I promise
I won't let them hurt you
Even if the lights go dark)

I feel like there's nothing left for me to be strong
All these emotions have filled my heart with emptiness 
I can't see the light anymore 
(I'm drifting further away from you..)
I keep falling further into the dark with no one to guide me through
So as long you're here I'll keep you safe
Just stay with me, the light will guide us through...

And I don't want to break your heart and say
But you have to let me go some day
So as long you're here I'll keep you safe
Just stay with me, the light will guide us through...

So as long you're here I'll keep you safe
Just stay with me, the light will guide us through...
(I'll keep you safe)

Promise me that you'll find you're own happiness
Don't let go of your light, let the seasons pass us by with grace
Let me in, let me in before the passing of time
(Promise me that you'll find you're own happiness)

Nothing's Left (Feat. Richard Pell)

We were brothers from the start
We only had each other at birth
I'd give my life to save your soul from that wretched despair
There's nothing more I would give to see you alive again
But I watched you fade into the darkness of your heart 
Now you rest inside my soul
Happiness ripped away from us
When they took our mother away

*We were brothers from the start
Just to be ripped apart
And I'm starting to think it's the only way*


There's no such thing as a perfect ending
There's only darkness and pain in this world

*How is this like the fairy tales?
Beautiful paintings with stories to tell*

I just want to see her smiling face
Mother you've left me here to rot on my own...

*(Rot on my own,)
Maybe it's better off this way
Than to suffer everyday
But from the otherside of the fence
It's getting harder to tell*


Brother where have you gone?
I've been waiting for you...

(Wait
Waiting for you)

I can't keep fighting alone forever
Mother where have you gone?

(Asking you,
asking you)

Awakening I (Ft. Richard Pell)

Lyrics: 

You've committed the worst taboo
We just wanted our mother home again
This choice was a selfish one
You should leave her to rest in death

*I refuse to bow at the knee again
treating me with honesty would get you here*

I just can't seem to live on my own
No one to give me strength when I've needed it
You lost your brother in the process of your selfishness
Now you will carry the pain to your grave

*Repeating the process to the process
of your beating heart just be honest
I drown out the dissonance 
with hatred and innocence 
just to see you in the flesh once more*

It'll all be over soon 
This knife shall grant me escape
I will awaken with my family again

This is the end

*How foolish you were to think*

You have returned

*How foolish you were to think*

I can't keep fighting this pain

*fighting this pain*

I've lost it all

It seems that I can't bring you back
Gone forever...now I walk this lonely road again

*Do you feel the dissonance?*

You've committed the worst of taboo
We just wanted our mother home again
This choice was a selfish one
You should leave her to rest with the dead
Instead of bringing her back to this broken life

I promise to bring them back
To the land of the living
While I search this world for another way
Try all you can
You'll never find the answers you seek
Growing in darkness is the only way

*Grow in darkness*

You'll end up the way you started
Everything to lose, nothing to gain
This is the end..

You're in my reach
I have to save you (x2)

(Will I ever see them again? Letting darkness consume my heart, just to bring them back..
I'll never be the same. But at least I'll hold them again.

Awakening II (ft. Richard Pell)

Lyrics: 

A beautiful garden 
Now burning in flames 
I am no longer alive in this broken world 
I can't feel the touch of the wind on my skin 
It seems I've been left behind to rot with the rest of them 
I've been dead for far too long 
I've been dead for far too long 
You've made your grave now find your own way out 
You've lost yourself in search of happiness 
You've found a home all alone in an empty garden 
To take the place of your own soul 
I am no longer alive 
I walk amongst the dead 
I no longer exist in this life 
I've given you all that I have 
I've given you all that I have..

The End

Broken

To Understand Nothing

Lyrics: 

This will be the end of it all
To a unworthy generation 
These eyes are blinded by the hate 
Causing all this suffering
This never ending war

I can hear their voices calling out 
Crowded by shadows 
As this door locks me out
Corrupted eyes starting back at me 
Will I ever be free again?

I cling to life
While it's fading away
Don't let me die. Don't let me die, I know I am no longer worthy...

Your memory is fading from sight
Will these broken wings leave me to die
With each breath I take
I can feel my life being ripped away 
Is this all but a dream? In search of trying to finding my way
I've been lost  but now I finally free

I'm standing strong
No longer bounded by hate that's consumed my soul
I am alive!

I've lived for the sake of another
It's time I've lived for the sake of myself 
I've lived my life for the sake of another
It's time I've lived for the sake of myself 
I've lived my life for the sake of another
It's time I've lived for the sake of myself

Forward

Lyrics:

I feel the pulse of the earth
Coursing through my veins
I carry the weight of the broken
And wade through the blood stains

You made an offer...of immeasurable proportions 
Disregarding tthe ones you loved

Washing your hands of the past
Releaving yourself as the world is reduced to ash

I've given you everything
You're nothing but a lost soul walking the earth

My life is forfeit
Why would I waste my timing saving myself if I can not be saved?


Guided by spirits who cursed you to death
This endless torment as I take my last breath


(Stay strong)
Mother earth has come to kill
(Hold on..)
Mother earth was once beloved

You were given the chance to live with Gods 
To live forever and watch the world die
You were given the chance to live with Gods
To watch humans destroy themselves...as they fail to evolve

All I know is their agony

I can hear them suffering..
I can hear them calling our names
They claim to worship us
While they feed off the innocence of the weak minded souls..

(Stay strong)
Mother earth has come to kill
(Hold On..)
Mother earth was once beloved

We will never find ourselves...

Misguided (Ft. Richard Pell)

Lyrics: Perhaps by magic
Or some foul potion slipped into my tea 
I have fallen cursedly starstruck
In love with a witch
More beautiful than the roses that she grows 
deep within in her garden

Lost within her endless pages like an open book
I see my reflection dismantled, cast within her shadow

I have never felt so in love

*This love has poisoned me
I am defeated by the one I never loved at all..
This love has poisoned me
You'll feel my wrath...in the end*

Black magic, take me away
I want to see the world from the balcony of your library
Black magic, take me away
I want to see the world from the balcony of your library
Black magic, take me away
I want to see the world from the balcony of your library
Drifting on, spellbound to your eyes
Drifting on, spellbound to your eyes

Spellbound (Ft. Richard Pell)

Lyrics: Find your own way
Guide us home

With each stroke of my paintbrush
I create beautiful scenery
White doves, outlined by sunlight
Such a beautiful sight to behold, to be sure
bucay of flowers

Golden sand upon the beaches
Golden sand upon the beaches

Is this life something I deserve?

Or am I just a broken man with nothing to gain?
With no sense of purpose?

I claim that I am not the savior 
I am not the one you're searching for (x2)

Understanding (Ft. Richard Pell)

Lyrics: I guess that what they say is true
Opposites attract before they seperate the two
I would know, I've been around a few
Staring at the clock waiting for midnight just to write you

Look inside yourself to find the missing pieces of your heart
That may never be found
Looks inside yourself to find the answer for the loneliness that haunts you

I've seen your sacrifice
And I've seen your cracking ice

How the years have preserved your shimmer
How the years have been kind to your eyes

Will I ever be free from this cage
Trapped forever
In this hollow shell..
I can't open my eyes to see the world
With these demons haunting me at every turn

Don't let me go
Let's fade away together 

Hunting My Prey (Ft. Richard Pell)

Freedom At Last (Demo)

Lyrics: Darkness, has never been so comforting..
It gives me strength when I have nothing left to give 
Surround me with all the pain that you have
Leave me here to rot 
Nothing to gain

(Sinking..)
I'm falling deeper into the abyss that I am..
(Searching..)
Holding onto hope that I'll be once more..

(You're all I am)
A child of man..but a coward at heart
(You're all I am..)
Scream into nothing, while you waste away
(You're all I am)
You will never become the man you once were 
(All that I am)
I am the reason you are alive
(I am the reason you are alive...)
I can't....
Leave me to die...

Reflect

This World

Lyrics: These shadows cling to me..
They reminded me why I'm still here..

You left me here..
To fight these demons
Ripping me to shreds
In search of what's left
In search of who you are..

You left me here 
To fight these demons
In search of what's left
In search of who you are..

Darkness spreads
While I cling to light..
A small candle...
Lit just enough to see..
The very shadows that haunt me still linger with me..
There's no going back
There's no going back

Walking In Shadows / / Shadow Stepper

Lyrics: Don't lead me astray.. 
From the path I've created.. 
Don't leave me to die here... 
I have yet to live this life 

These promises mean nothing to me.. 
All your friends are here to deceive 
This is nothing new 
The feeling of... 

Your love 
(Your love..) 
Was nothing more than a false sense of security.. 
(Darkness takes the throne again..) 

This is all we have 
This is all I know now 
This is all we have 
This is all I know now 
Family...friends are all gone.. 

A light in an ever growing darkness 
Telling me it's okay.. 
That you'll always be here.. 
That you'll never leave me.. 
You are more than a friend 
You are my everything.. 
(You're my sanctuary..) 
You are more than a friend 
You are my everything.. 
You are my light 
You are the strength that holds me in place

This Idle Heart

Lyrics: This life has me running in circles
For you, I'd give anything

You've always been out of my reach.. 
You're always one step ahead of me

I reach for your hand..
But you retreat..

Will this ever be over?
Will this pain cease to ever exist in my heart
The more I struggle, the harder is seems to be free..
Show me the way

I'll find my way to you...

Now I can't remember your face...
You're just a fading memory..
(But now you're here...)
I falling away from you

I'm lost because of you
Now I can't seem to escape

A Moment In Time

Collapse (Interlude)

Just a snippet of an unreleased track that didn't make the cut.

Lyrics: I'm holding back all these thoughts in my head
They are mine alone...
My heart belongs to me...it doesn't belong to you..
A heart with no vessel in between..
A bond stronger than life itself strong enough to eliminate the darkness
I'm growing stronger with every breath
As long as you're here I feel your pulse..

(As long as you're here I feel your pulse..)

Lost, But Not Forgotten (Unreleased Track)

Our Lullaby..

Lyrics: This external darkness surrounds me with doubt 
Who am I to question my exsistence....if it even matters in the end? 
(Reveal yourself...) 
Please don't lose your faith.. 
(There's nothing left..)
I will save you from this darkness... 
Please don't lose your faith.. 
I will save you from this darkness...

Leaving You Behind

I will not stand by...and watch you fade away..
I won't stand by...and watch you fall apart

I will not stand by

This is where it ends..
Today, this is the end

They all watch from afar but they know not to speak
Evil guides their way
They know not of true hate..

They know not of true hate..
Hate of your own kind..

You've been kept in the shadows for so long..
It's no wonder that you're still here 
We're one in the same...
(This is all I know)
One in the same
(All you are..)
Now we all know your real name...
We all know your true face 
(Leave me alone...)

This is all you know.
This is all you are..

Erase Me

Lyrics:

I am a shell of what of I use to be
Without you here by my side..
There's a hole where you use to be..
I can't...I can't feel...anything..
(Isolation)
Where have you gone...I can't find you...
Now you're gone....never coming back

No Longer There (Demo)

Lyrics: 

Alone in the wreckage
I'll stand and fight to the bitter end
This has changed who I'm meant to be
I stand alone, no where to be seen

This will not go unpunished
You'll feel my wrath, you won't survive
I'll rip you to shreds while you breathe your last breath

Forever in chains..
Disconnected from mind and soul

(Forever...)

You're no longer in my reach
Forever bounded by these chains
Trapped in a cage, you forged by hate
This unrelenting rage remains 

You left in a panic..
You left me behind to die

Take it all away
Just take it all away

"I can't...I just...I can't..
...but what else is there...?
It's not like I have much left anyway...
I might as well just....die here. Goodbye."

Die...
Forever..

(Forever...)

You're no longer in my reach
Trapped in a cage you forged by hate (x2)

You're no longer in my reach..

(Forever)

Charge Ahead

My Words Mean Nothing

Lyrics: 

Abandoned when I was young
Teary eyed, alone in this room
You left in a panic
It's up to me to find where you are

Beautiful eyes, keep you bounded 
I can't keep still 
(I can't find you)

This is not who I am
This is not who I wanted to be
This not who I am
Set me free

(Keep me close)
I am not your pawn in this game
(Let me in)
You will feel my wrath
Feel my wrath..
I'm not the one to blame for your mistakes
(I'm not a pawn in this game)
I'm not the one to blame for your mistakes
You'll feel my wrath..

"I could never...measure up to who you are..
You're everything I'm not....everything I wish I could be.
So long..."

Sinking

Lyrics:

Erase all the lies that I told
Erase all the harm that I've caused
Erase all the pain that I've felt
Erase everything that I am..
Your voice keeps haunting me...

Conflicted..

Now you hold the world in your hands
(In your hands)
What you thought was lost is now in sight
(Now reclaim your life)

Give into your anger 
(I refuse)
Give into your hate
(I refuse..)

Return all the happiness you stole from me
If I tear open your chest, will I find your soul?
Do you even have remorse?
Do you even have remorse?

(This is yours
It's what you've worked for)

Happiness is mine to claim
Happiness belongs to me and not to you

This is mine to claim 
Happiness belongs to me and not to you

Weight

Lyrics: 

I know that I failed...
Nothing but a worthless soul
You meant everything to me but I didn't mean a thing to you..
If this is all a waste, then why do I feel regret
If this is all for nothing, then why do I feel sorrow..
You pray for life, While I pray for death..
My presence means nothing, a soul drowning in this endless fear..
If this is all a waste, then why do I feel regret?
If this is all for nothing, then why do I feel sorrow..?

Shattered..

Lyrics:

This is all I have, I won't be led astray
Darkness won't bind me down

(Isolation..
Isolation..
Isolation..)

No more forgiveness, I'll give this my all 
No turning back now, This is my last chance..

Grounded

Lyrics: 

Wandering down this broken path, falling further into emptiness
(Show me the way)
Memories fade into the void, but I will break these chains..

Broken promises end with you
I'll walk away and find my truth 
If true sacrifice starts with you..
I understand what I must do
(I've lost all faith in you..)

Rip Them To Shreds

Lyrics:

 I can hear your silent screams
Echoing through your broken dreams
(Memories fade...)
Only you can save yourself 
(From suffering..)
You can change your destiny
(Don't lose your faith..)

You only have one life, don't waste it okay?

Reconstruction

Just a guy trying to change some lives. I hope my music touches you. Cheers.
