She throws me out "old news" paper, cause she wants a superman that can save her.
Left out in the rain like a stray.
I will not destroy her but her memory will pay

I tried as hard as I can but she wouldn't let me.
I lied to the gods for a chance.

I will redeem what I am, you never were what you claimed.
Empty promises, from an empty heart
I should have seen this right from the very start

I tried as hard as I can but she wouldn't let me.
I lied to the gods for a chance.
Now she's gone, wasted, pretty massacre
Her bodies a canvas sprawled across the floor.

Simple things aren't so simple anymore as I leave her memory ripped and torn.
In a lock box made of hate, bury it in a grave marked fate.

I tried as hard as I can but she wouldn't let me.
I lied to the gods for a chance.
Now she's gone, wasted, pretty massacre
Her bodies a canvas sprawled across the floor.

Try as I may to keep you from the dawn
Nothing can keep you from climbing to the sun
This holy vengeance that I sheltered roams
And new love shall claim it's throne

I tried as hard as I can but she wouldn't let me.
I lied to the gods for a chance.
Now she's gone, wasted, pretty massacre
Her bodies a canvas sprawled across the floor.

I tried as hard as I can but she wouldn't let me.
I lied to the gods for a chance.
Now she's gone, wasted, pretty massacre
Her bodies a canvas sprawled across the floor.

Pretty Massacre

Haunted by what I want to be
I've let this mirror consume me
Tortured by the thought of me
I've become a fading memory

I won't let you get the best of me
I couldn't see what a blind man sees
Call it as it lies, Catastrophe
I will leave you here to bleed

This projection that I see
Another version that is me
One will stay, and one will leave
Finally I will be free

I won't let you get the best of me
I couldn't see what a blind man sees
Call it as it lies, Catastrophe
I will leave you here to bleed

Through all the lies that's invested
I found some peace that's decrypted
I stand alone, down and wasted
So close to life I can almost taste it

I won't let you get the best of me
I couldn't see what a blind man sees
Call it as it lies, Catastrophe
I will leave you here to bleed

Best of me
Best of me
Best of me
I won't let you get the best of me!

Best Of Me

In a broke down theater she sits all alone
Surrounded by mirrors her thoughts unknown
Cigarette smoke fills up that stage
And accross the floor are her lifes pages

And she screams aloud to a broken crowd
All the world's a stage to the girl with grey wings
Grey wings
Grey wings
All the world is a stage to the girl with grey wings

Now she's had enough. You're invited to the show
On a dark and rainy night, you'll see what she knows
You'll hang on every word that flows from her mouth
See through her eyes, just let it all out.

And she screams aloud to a broken crowd
All the world's a stage to the girl with grey wings
Grey wings
Grey wings
All the world is a stage to the girl with grey wings

It's a beautiful, yeah beautiful thing to see her fly
I just want to, yeah just want to, run by her side
Beautiful thing, yeah beautiful thing, to see her fly
I just want to, yeah just want to, run by her side
Reach up, yeah reach up, and touch the sky

All the world is a stage to the girl with grey wings

Girl With Grey Wings

My dreams turn to nightmares, when you say you don't care
Tell me I'll be alright, if only, if only for tonight

Our lives together grow short, when you can't lie awake and dream,
because I'm standing over you misguided.

My dreams turn to nightmares, when you say you don't care
Tell me I'll be alright, if only, if only for tonight

Why must I lie here and wait? you're screaming and decieving
Why can't I be awake? eyes open and dreaming
Can't waste my time, I won't stay here, standing and breathing
I've turned my cheek, where lies reside, and I'm on my path of leaving

My dreams turn to nightmares, when you say you don't care
Tell me I'll be alright, if only, if only for tonight

Why waste my time, you were out of line, I won't go back on that now
I stand alone, my voice unknown,a muse for an empty crowd
Sheltered by my beveled eyes, a queen with trapestine cries
And now I watch as all hopes lost and new love brings me life

My dreams turn to nightmares, when you say you don't care
Tell me I'll be alright, if only, if only for tonight

I felt so alone and now I feel at home
My kingdom called for the prince of the throne
Such a lovesick tragedy with a sovereignty ending
For the final chapter of our tale I hope you're moving forward now

My dreams turn to nightmares, when you say you don't care
Tell me I'll be alright, if only, if only for tonight



Kingdom Come

You make my heart ache, I hate this feeling
It's like an earthquake, you've got me reeling
I hope that one day you will see, what it was between you and me
Don't be long, because life is quick
I can't hold on, the clock goes Tick-Tick-Tick
What I want to hear, your voice my dear
Don't shed a tear for all your fears

If I had a choice, I would stay numb
But I would trade it all for a day with you
If I could go on singing these songs
I would trade it all just to be with you

If I could, I'd stand against your shame
If I could, I'd turn cheek to the blame
If I could, I'd stand on my own two feet
If I could, I'd throw it all in your face

If I had a choice, I would stay numb
But I would trade it all for a day with you
If I could go on singing these songs
I would trade it all just to be with you

You make my heart ache, can't shake this feeling
Your silence I hate, is there a meaning?
I hope that one day, all will see
You threw it away, you and me.
Sing this song, hope it makes you sick.
I won't hold on, the clock goes Tick-Tick-Tick
I won't change a thing, won't waste my time
Going to hear me sing, going to hear me scream

If I had a choice, I would stay numb
But I would trade it all for a day with you
If I could go on singing these songs
I would trade it all just to be with you

I don't wanna play the games
I don't wanna place the blame
Just say it, say my name
Just say it, just say it

If I Could

[Verse1]
We've walked to the edge of sanity
We are closer to killing humanity
No one seems to care
They just want their share
We vote for professional liars
Corperation pigs for hire
God these times are strange
I think it's time for a change

[Chorus]
Ready to fight, ready to bleed
Ready to die for what you believe
Because life means nothing if you're not living for something

[Verse2]
Stand up, put your fist in the air
Speak up, let them know that you care
We won't take it anymore
This vicious beating of the poor
Time to stop talking
Time to start doing
Time to stand up (get up, get up, get up, get up)
Put your foot down and go through it

[Chorus]
Ready to fight, ready to bleed
Ready to die for what you believe
Because life means nothing if you're not living for something

[Break]
The innocent are dying
Their children, crying

[Chorus]
Ready to fight, ready to bleed
Ready to die for what you believe
Because life means nothing if you're not fighting for something

Ready to fight, ready to bleed
Ready to fight, ready to bleed
Ready to fight, ready to bleed
Ready to fight, ready to bleed
Ready to fight, ready to bleed
Ready to fight, ready to bleed
Ready to fight, ready to bleed

Ready To Fight (Featuring Black Todd)

These dark days that we live in
No recourse to those and their sleeping
The cost of life and the cost of living
Are rising higher and higher

It's time to wake up from the American dream
I'm awakening, I'm awakening
Time to rise from the dead to see
I'm awakening, I'm awakening

Bring about a new revolution
Before the people in power decide
For another failed solution
This is their final hour, our finest hour
Time to excersize these demons that are living
Awakening from our final course of dreaming
We've been sold up the river for too long
Let's stand together and sing this song!

It's time to wake up from the American dream
I'm awakening, I'm awakening
Time to rise from the dead to see
I'm awakening, I'm awakening

We've got to stand together or divided we fall
We've got to demand change, time to stand tall
Dying for the wrong reasons, do you hear their call?
Standing in this war with backs turned to the wall

It's time to wake up from the American dream
I'm awakening, I'm awakening
Time to rise from the dead to see
I'm awakening, I'm awakening


Awakening

Loving Anathema - Do You Wanna Fight

[verse1]
I will set your chest in flames
You will hear them scream my name
Death will drive a man insane
So take a step into the cage
Fight till your eyes close out
This time you will go down
Beat your face into the ground
Hope they hear you screaming now

[Chorus]
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you got a deathwish?
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you wanna die kid?

Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you got a deathwish?
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you wanna die kid?

[Verse2]
This cage will be your grave
This the end of your days
The angels will open their wings
Heavens dark harbringer will reign
Hammer to your teeth, I'll smash
Bust your face up, feel the gash
I'll spit in your face, and laugh
Two men standing, I will be the last

[Chorus]
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you got a deathwish?
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you wanna die kid?
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you got a deathwish?
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you wanna die kid?

[Verse3]
I am ready to fight
Knock you out, so say goodnight
Black you out, say goodbye to your pride
Sorry son, but you've lost this fight
Death to your high-horse
Feel the adrenaline coarse
I will give you no remorse
Blast into you with full force

[Chorus]
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you got a deathwish?
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you wanna die kid?

Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you got a deathwish?
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you wanna die kid?

[Breakdown]
I'll break your spirit
I'll break your mind
I'll break your body
In 5 minutes time
I'll rip you apart
Tear out your heart
Scatter the ashes
For my work of art

[chorus]
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you got a deathwish?
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you wanna die kid?

Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you got a deathwish?
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
Do you wanna fight
So you wanna die kid?

DO YOU WANNA FIGHT?

Do You Wanna Fight

[Verse1]
This is the setup, it has begun
We are the hunted, and we are the ones
Under the fang, the pain is undone
Stick to your guns, stick to your guns

[Chorus]
This is the run, this is the thrill of the hunt
This is the run, this is the burn of the sun

[verse2]
This is the sin, a fire within
We are the kin, a battle to win
Under the blade, peeling the skin
Bathe in their blood, bathe in their blood

[Chorus]
This is the run, this is the thrill of the hunt
This is the run, this is the burn of the sun

[Verse3]
This is the fight, show me your might
We are one with the night
Under their gun, eye down the sight
You better run, you better run

[Chorus]
This is the run, this is the thrill of the hunt
This is the run, this is the burn of the sun

[Breakdown]
This is the end, a tyrant a friend
In deaths den, a bend in the wind
Hold your tongue, the flag has been hung
Nowhere to run, for the old and the young

[Chorus]
This is the run, this is the thrill of the hunt
This is the run, this is the burn of the sun
