SLOW I GO AND THE WAIT SEEMS TO BE OVER, ALL THAT I KNOW IS THAT MY LIFE HAS BECOME SUCH A WASTE FOR YOU

IN EFFIGY

You will never give the power
To the powerless
Your ideal has grown
Far beyond your control

Can you ever find yourself again?
Your vision's distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can't see through your eyes

Can you imagine what is only
One step away?
The potential is waiting
Just beyond your grasp

Can you ever find yourself again?
Your vision's distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can you keep fighting on and on?

This false me will burn
In effigy
This false me will burn
In effigy

It's so easy to relax
And watch from afar
It's so easy to give in
To this complacence

Can you ever find yourself again?
Your vision's distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can't see through your eyes

DON'T SAY A WORD

I am your poison candygram,
the love that's meant to fade away
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside, I'm choking on this life
I think I tolerate your hate, as long as you're afraid
All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day...

Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn
Mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me
Once again my shadow will enter your life
Could I let you wait out the night

Mother always said "My son, do the noble thing..."
You have to finish what you started, no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn...
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... don't say a word

It won't be long now, love, like mist I slowly fill the room
I place a black candle on your chest,
the path of night is manifest
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
It wasn't me who ran away, you made me stray...

Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why...
Settling the score, we pass the twilight...

Mother always said "My son, do the noble thing..."
You have to finish what you started, no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn...
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... don't say a word

Strawberry blond, your stranglehold
on my heart is bound to end
I suppose, life sometimes,
it doesn't go the way it was meant.
Though you never were a believer, yet
I won't die before you
You read the book now,
Good bye

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust"

Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, whore
You never meant a word, I know you lied
When there is life, there is despair, indulge me now
and stay alive this night... I promise you the end before the first light
arrives...

Mother always said "My son, do the noble thing..."
You have to finish what you started, no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn...
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... don't say...

WHISPERS
It may seem at last days passing mean nothing
But the sun that set cause only pain
Violence in words like slashes wound deeply
Love is not when you feel only pain

NOT ALONE
No more
No more are the days that I will
Fear for I have found a strength that
None can match and I'll push forward

Never has the blood in my veins
Flowed so fiercely as when I feel this around me
I am whole

I'm not alone with the touch of your hand I am whole again
I'm not alone with the touch of your hand I am whole again

Now I feel the passion burning
This what drives me further
Strengthens my resolve to push me further
