She's been scorned, the crown of fire is now her's alone, she reaps, what so many before have sewn, her eyes, pierce right through this heart of mine, her cries, my siren song, my demise. Her colours fade, her love became rage, her darkness a weapon, she blackens the earth and the heavens. Her colours fade, her love became rage, her darkness a weapon, she blackens the earth and the heavens. She blackens the earth and the heavens (x3) The heavens.

It's said, that life, will end, without a sound, but, I will, not have, you bringing me down Trapped inside my, trapped inside my head, trapped inside my, trapped inside my, trapped inside my head So what will I?, so why can't I? so I become (?), trapped deep inside, corrupt 'till I die Corrupt I die, I die, corrupt I die, corrupt 'till I die You won't be, you can't see, set me free Not this time, clouded mind, I draw the line Can I, (can I) become, (become), a shadow?

All my life I've tried, to run from the shadow cast by my side, looking back over my shoulder, each step I take feels like it's growing colder It feels like I will not survive, if only I tried (x2) You disappoint me somehow, please tell me what it's about, you always try to pretend, that we will just bend, spinning around in full circle, trying to find ways to hurt you, knowing there's one thing I can do You've taken everything I love, but now I have something to show you You disappoint me somehow, please tell me what it's about, you always try to pretend, that we will just bend, spinning around in full circle, trying to find ways to hurt you, knowing there's one thing I can do To make you realize (2), what you've done to me (2) You've taken everything I love, but now I have something to show you What I have to offer (to offer), no one wants a part of (a part of) (x2) Struggling to be me, for an eternity (x2) All my life I've tried, to run from the shadow cast by my side, looking back over my shoulder, each step I take feels like it's growing colder The fire from inside, this fire will subside, the fire from inside, this fire from inside, the fire will not subside

Disappear 03:04
When will I break free from these chains on me?, starting to become, some kind of regiment, this is a darkness that's taken over, sometimes I can't see the light inside of me Why do I (why do I), Even try (even try), what have I become?, Why do I (why do I), Even try (even try), when you don't notice what I have become Ripped apart my heart, ripped apart my soul Nothing matters, nothing disappears, nothing, I can't be, nothing (x3) Sometimes I can't see the light inside of me Why do I (why do I), Even try (even try), what have I become?, Why do I even try, why do I even try, when you don't notice what I have become? Ripped apart my heart, ripped apart my soul But I can't be, when I don't see, the light that's ripping you, ripping me and everything else apart But I can't be, when you can't see, where I cannot be is watching you ripping away from the light

Mistrust 03:40
What have I done to you for you to be this way?, what have you done to destroy me?, why can't you see?, what have I done to have the weight of the world on my shoulders?, what have you done to become a disgrace?, in my life you are hate Feelings are to hard to hide away, rise above them just to fade away What have you done to destroy me?, why can't you see?, what have I done to have the weight of the world on my shoulders? I feel the world on me, bearing down on me, pressures in my veins, building to the point, I break away but still the agony persists to crawl and find it's way back in Now it's haunting me (x2), will I forgive (x2) Throwing my heart to the side of me, trying to find just what's left of me, Feelings are to hard to hide away, rise above them just to fade away Just to fade away (x3), just to fade
7.
We will never fade away, all we ever want is to be okay, we'll see this through, looking in your eyes to find an answer, look into my eyes, we'll be together Trying to make it better, I'll always want the answer Now it seems like the world is out for blood, trying to find a way to tear us down, one chance (one chance), one crack (one crack), looking for that little seam Why do you think everything always has wind up to be this way?, it never ends, reaching down inside, we'll be together, stepping by your side, always, forever One day, this more than ever, we'll rise and last forever Now it seems like the world is out for blood, trying to find a way to tear us down, one chance (one chance), one crack (one crack), looking for that little seam Why won't you just go away? (go away, go away) (x6)

Price to Pay 03:26
Falling apart, I'm torn at the seams. Right from the start, you'd never know that this was me. Trying so hard, to pull myself together. Playing my card, to change my life forever, My life forever Wanting to change myself, coming out from this shell, I'll never take life for granted (x2) Falling apart, I'm torn at the seams. Right from the start, you'd never know that this was me. Trying so hard, to pull myself together. Playing my card, to change my life forever, My life forever I cannot be this way knowing that there is a price to pay (3) My life forever Wanting to change myself, coming out from this shell, I'll never take life for granted (x2) Nothing's what it seems, nothing's what it seems to be, my life forever Deep down inside I've swallowed all my pride (x4)
9.
I will not come undone, I will not break apart now, I will not be held down, I will not separate (x2) From myself or my soul (x3), from myself With my feelings pushed back down, you will tremble before me, you will kneel before me, bow before me, or live in fear I know you see the darkest night, I know you see the darkest night, darkest night I will show you now, forever, forever, I will show you now, you will see, what I see, I will show you now, you will not ever feel again, I will show you now, the beast I have become, your world will come undone With my feelings pushed back down, you will tremble before me, you will kneel before me, bow before me, or live in fear What will I be, what will I become? I will show you now, forever, forever, I will show you now, you will see, what I see, I will show you now, you will not ever feel again, I will show you now...... So we will see...(x2)
