All was set for premiere Goals provided direction The script close to perfection Tomorrow appeared crystal clear To disruption immune The performance to start soon Preparing for the next haul Everything seemed under control I've seen the clock changing its pace before Don't want the time to take a break (no more) A snare without a rhythm (without a rhythm) Fate cut another ribbon (cut another ribbon) Plans and resolutions Never realized Turned into illusions Demise in disguise The day abruptly ended The show suspended A snare without a rhythm (without a rhythm) Fate cut another ribbon (cut another ribbon) I've seen the clock changing its pace before Don't want the time to take a break (no more) Life is not covered by a warranty (warranty) The future doesn't have a guarantee (guarantee) A snare without a rhythm (without a rhythm) Fate cut another ribbon (cut another ribbon) A snare without a rhythm (without a rhythm) Fate cut another ribbon

Nothing is as it seems Questioning everything When truth turns to lies You can hide or you'll die trying Where can you run When the war is in your heart How can you fight When you're drowning in the darkness The darkness within Nothing is as it was Kingdoms have turned to dust All that you've loved Killed in the coldest blood Where can you run When the war is in your heart How can you fight When you're drowning in the darkness The darkness within

Down goes the sun, the end has begun A season with Eros and my work is done Out goes the fire, in come the choir Why must I live when my dreams expire? God speed my friend Open up your mighty wings and fly This is the end The universe has brought you here to die Give me just a sip of your potion Let me be a drop in the ocean Ravens in flight, I bark and I bite I am not man, I am dynamite I am enraged, the beast is uncaged Fire at will, enemy engaged God speed my friend Open up your mighty wings and fly This is the end The universe has brought you here To die Give me just a sip of your potion Let me be a drop in the ocean Open up your mighty wings And fly Open up your mighty wings and fly God speed my friend Open up your mighty wings and fly This is the end The universe has brought you here To die Give me just a sip of your potion Let me be a drop in the ocean

Another sun sets down behind me Another day comes crashing in There's a whispering wind that's blowing There's a storm that's closing in I can hear the trains, they're rolling To a place I've never been And I can feel her breath beside me With an empty glass of gin As the darkness settles in I can hear her voice again I can hear your voice again Waiting for someone to save me But everyone just runs away Waiting for someone to change me But no one ever comes I'm breaking down the walls that cage me But nothing ever falls in place Waiting for the end to take me Blinded by the sun All the ghosts that live inside me Always waiting in the wind I can see through my reflection What I've become and what I've been You see, your Heaven doesn't want me And your Hell won't let me in It's like I'm holding all the aces But I know I'll never win Waiting for someone to save me But everyone just runs away Waiting for someone to change me But no one ever comes I'm breaking down the walls that cage me But nothing ever falls in place Waiting for the end to take me Blinded by the sun You can take it away, tear it all down Spit in my face, pushed to the ground Look what I've become I've fallen from grace, bloodied and bound Taking up space, lost and I'm found Look what I've become I can hear the snakes, they're winding Singing songs of pain and sin There's an anger overflowing From this empty glass of gin As the darkness settles in And the darkness settles in Waiting for someone to save me But everyone just runs away Waiting for someone to change me But no one ever comes I'm breaking down the walls that cage me But nothing ever falls in place Waiting for the end to take me Blinded by the sun (You can take it away) And the darkness settles in (You can take it away) And the darkness settles in (You can take it away) As the darkness settles in
