A Change of Seasons
I. The Crimson Sunrise (Instrumental) II. Innocence I remember a time My frail, virgin mind watched the crimson sunrise Imagined what it might find Life was filled with wonder I felt the warm wind blow I must explore the boundaries Transcend the depth of winter's snow Innocence caressing me I never felt so young before There was so much life in me Still I longed to search for more But those days are gone now Changed like a leaf on a tree Blown away forever into the cool autumn breeze The snow has now fallen and my sun's not so bright I struggled to hold on with the last of my might In my den of inequity viciousness and subtlety struggle to find the sane Ignorance surrounding me I've never been so filled with fear All my life's been drained from me The end is drawing near III. Carpe Diem I'll always remember The chill of November The news of the fall The sounds in the hall The clock on the wall ticking away Seize the Day I heard him say Life will not always be this way Look around Hear the sounds Cherish your life while you're still around We can learn from the past But those days are gone We can hope for the future But there might not be one The words stuck in my mind alive from what I've learned I have to seize the day To home I returned Preparing for her flight I held with all my might Fearing my deepest fright She walked into the night She turned for one last look She looked me in the eye I said, I Love You...Goodbye IV. The Darkest Of Winters (Instrumental) V. Another World So far or so it seems All is lost with nothing fulfilled Off the pages and the T.V. screen Another world where nothing's true Tripping through the life fantastic Lose a step and never get up Left alone with a cold blank stare I feel like giving up I was blinded by a paradise Utopia high in the sky A dream that only drowned me Deep in sorrow, wondering why Oh come let us adore him Abuse and then ignore him No matter what, don't let him be Let's feed upon his misery Then string him up for all the world to see I'm sick of all you hypocrites holding me at bay And I don't need your sympathy to get me through the day Seasons change and so can I Hold on Boy, No time to cry Untie these strings, I'm climbing down I won't let them push me away Oh come let us adore him Abuse and then ignore him No matter what, don't let him be Let's feed upon his misery Now it's time for them to deal with me VI. The Inevitable Summer (Instrumental) VII. The Crimson Sunset I'm much wiser now A lifetime of memories run through my head They taught me how for better or worse, alive or dead I realize there's no turning back Life goes on the offbeaten track I sit down with my son Set to see the Crimson Sunset Many years have come and gone I've lived my life, but now must move on He's my only one Now that my time has come Now that my life is done We look into the sun Seize the day and don't you cry, Now it's time to say goodbye Even though I'll be gone, I will live on Live on |

A nightmare to remember
I'd never be the same. What began as laughter So soon would turn to pain. The sky was clear and frigid The air was thick and still Now I'm not one to soon forget And I bet I never will Picture for a moment The perfect irony A flawless new beginning Eclipsed by tragedy. The uninvited stranger Started dancing on his own So we said goodbye To the glowing bride And we made our way back home. Life was so simple then We were so innocent. Father and mother Holding each other. Without warning Out of nowhere Like a bullet From the night Crushing Glass Rubber and steel Scorching fire Glowing lights Screams of terror Pain and Fear Sounds of sirens Smoke in my eyes Sudden stillness Blackened silence No more screaming No more cries Stunned and bewildered Cold and afraid Torn up and broken Frightened and dazed Stunned and bewildered Cold and afraid Torn up and broken Frightened and dazed Lying on the table In this unfamiliar place I'm greeted by a stranger A man without a face He said, "Son, do you remember? Do you even know your name?" Then he shined a light into my eyes And said, "take this for the pain." Hopelessly drifting, Bathing in beautiful agony. I am endlessly falling, Lost in this wonderful misery. In peaceful sedation, I lay half awake And all of the panic inside starts to fade. Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony. "Tell me does this hurt you?" Said the faceless man. "Can you move all of your fingers? Can you try your best to stand?" I asked about the others Is everyone OK? He told me not to worry As he turned and looked away. Hopelessly drifting, Bathing in beautiful agony. I am endlessly falling, Lost in this wonderful misery. In peaceful sedation, I lay half awake And all of the panic inside starts to fade. Hopelessly drifting, bathing in beautiful agony. Day after day And night after night Replaying the events Did they ever see the red light? Over and over Scene by scene Like a recurring nightmare haunting my dreams. How can you prepare for what would happen next? No son should ever have to see his father such a mess It's a miracle he lived It's a blessing no one died By the Grace of God above Everyone survived Life was so simple then We were so innocent. It will stay with us forever A nightmare to remember |

Live another day Climb a little higher Find another reason to stay Ashes in your hands Mercy in your eyes If you're searching for a silent sky You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So die another day The coldness of his words The message in his silence Face the candle to the wind This distance in my voice isn't leaving you a choice So if you're looking for a time to run away You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So die another day They took pictures of our dreams Ran to hide behind the stairs And said maybe when it's right for you they'll fall But if they don't come down Resist the need to pull them in And throw them away Better to save the mystery than surrender to the secret You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So die another day |

Live another day Climb a little higher Find another reason to stay Ashes in your hands Mercy in your eyes If you′re searching for a silent sky... You won′t find it here Look another way You won′t find it here So die another day The coldness of this words The message in his silence, "Face the candle to the wind..." This distance in my voice Isn′t leaving you a choice So if you′re looking for a time to run away... You won′t find it here Look another way You won′t find it here So try another day They took pictures of our dreams Ran to hide behind the stairs And said maybe when it′s right for you, they′ll fall But if they don′t come down Resist the need to pull them in And throw them away Better to save the mystery Than surrender to the secret You won′t find it here Look another way You won′t find it here So try another day |

Murder, young girl killed
Desperate shooting at Echoe's hill Dreadful ending, killer died Evidently suicide A witness heard a horrifying sound He ran to find a woman dead and Lying on the ground Standing by her was a man Nervous, shaking, gun in hand Witness says he tried to help But he'd turned the weapon on himself His body fell across that poor young girl After shooting out in vain The witness ran to call for assistance A sad close to a broken love affair Our deeds have traveled far What we have been is what we are She wanted love forever But he had another plan He fell into an evil way She had to let him down She said "I can't love a wayward man" She may have found a reason to forgive If he had only tried to change Was their fatal meeting prearranged? Had a violent struggle taken place? There was every sign that lead there Witness found a switchblade on the ground Was the victim unaware? They continued to investigate They found a note in the killer's pocket It could have been a suicide letter Maybe he had lost her love I feel there's only one thing left to do I'd sooner take my life away than live without losing you Our deeds have traveled far What we have been is what we are All that we learn this time (What we have been is what we are) Is carried beyond this life |

Lyrics by John Myung Nicholas: Alone at night I feel so strange I need to find All the answers to my dreams When I sleep at night I hear the cries What does this mean? I shut the door and traveled to another home I met an older man, he seemed to be alone I felt that I could trust him He talked to me that night; "Lad did you know a girl was murdered here?" "This fatal tragedy was talked about for years" Victoria's gone forever Only memories remain She passed away She was so young Without love Without truth There can be no turning back Without faith Without hope There can be no peace of mind As the night went on I started to find my way I learned about a tragedy A mystery still today I tried to get more answers But he said, "You're on your own." Then he turned away and left me As I stand there all alone He said, "You'll know the truth As you future days unfold" Without love Without truth There can be no turning back Without faith Without hope There can be no peace of mind Hypnotherapist: "Now it is time to see how you died. Remember that death is not the end but only a transition." |

Lyrics by Mike Portnoy The Miracle: Friday evening The blood still on my hands To think that she would leave me now For that ungrateful man Sole survivor No witness to the crime I must act fast to cover up I think that there's still time He'd seem hopeless and lost with this note They'll buy into the words that I wrote "This feeling inside me Finally found my love, I've finally broke free No longer torn in two I'd take my own life before losing you" Victoria: Feeling good this Friday afternoon I ran into Julian Said we'd get together soon He's always had my heart He needs to know I'll break free of the Miracle It's time for him to go This feeling inside me Finally found my love, I've finally broke free No longer torn in two He'd kill his brother if he only knew Their love renewed They'd rendezvous In a pathway out of view They thought no one knew Then came a shot out of the night The Sleeper: One last time We'll lay down today One last time Until we fade away One last time We'll lay down today One last time We fade away As their bodies lie still And the ending draws near Spirits rise through the air All their fears disappear, it all becomes clear A blinding light comes into view An old soul exchanged for a new A familiar voice comes shining through Nicholas: This feeling inside me Finally found my life, I'm finally free No longer torn in two I learned about my life by living through you This feeling inside me Finally found my life, I'm finally free No longer torn in two Living my own life by learning from you We'll meet again my friend someday soon CNN report: "news in London, France, Russia and Italy have deleted their lead story, all anticipating the outcome of the man considered to be a member of American nobility. And as you can imagine, as the skies have grown darker here over Washington, the mood has grown darker as well and people here are beginning to resign themselves to the possibility that they are witnessing yet another tragedy in a long string of misfortunes. Reaction from everywhere, from Washington and certainly from around the world has gues..." Hypnotherapist: "Open your eyes, Nicholas." Nicholas: "AAAH!" |

The Sleeper:
Shine- lake of fire Lines take me higher My mind drips desire Confined and overtired Living this charade Is getting me nowhere I can't shake this charade The city's cold blood calls me home HomeIt's what I long for Back homewhere I belong The city- it calls to me Decadent scenes from my memory Sorrow- eternity My demons are coming to drown me Help- I'm falling, I'm crawling I can't keep away from its clutch Can't have it, this habit It's calling me back to my home The Miracle: I remember the first time she came to me Poured her soul out all night and cried I remember I was told there's a new love that's born For each one that has died I never thought that I Could carry on with this life But I can't resist myself No matter how hard I try Living their other life Is getting them nowhere I'll make her my wife Her sweet temptation calls me home HomeIt's what I long for My homewhere she belongs Her ecstasy- means so much to me Even decieving my own blood Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles She's taking me to my home Help- he's my brother, but I love her I can't keep away from her touch Deception, dishonor It's calling me back to my home Nicholas: Her story- it holds the key Unlocking dreams from my memory Solving this mystery Is everything that is a part of me Help- regression, obsession I can't keep away from her touch Leave no doubt, to find out It's calling me back to my home |

Open your eyes And turn off your mind Step right up folks "Step right up folks" [Spoken by Mike Portnoy] and you will find A growing trend An epidemic Spread with zen And hypodermics, yeah Yeah Just close your mind You can find all you need with your eyes The big machines take care of you Until you kill yourself And then the sales go through the roof Calculated, formulated Feed my head with simple thoughts And let me breathe instead of being taught All bottled up and tearing at the seams I'm bored Just let me breathe A daily dose of eMpTyV Will flush your mind right down the drain Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain, Make yourself a household name, yeah-yeah Yeah Just close your mind You can find all you need with your eyes The big machines take care of you Until you kill yourself And then the sales go through the roof Calculated, formulated Feed my head with simple thoughts And let me breathe instead of being taught All bottled up and tearing at the seams I'm bored Just let me breathe Strike up your best angst ridden posture, whoa Manufactured anger Let's not forget my legacy All my heroes have failed me Now they're dead and buried, yeah Just close your mind You can find all you need with your eyes The big machines will take care of you Until the fashion fades And the checks go through My bankroll's red And my face is blue And still they'll turn their backs on me for someone new Feed my head With some real thoughts And let me think instead Of being taught I'll say things You won't believe Just stand back Just let me breathe... |

There was no time for pain
No energy for anger The sightlessness of hatred slips away Walking through winter streets alone He stops and takes a breath With confidence and self control I look at the world and see no understanding I'm waiting to find some sense of strength I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart to show me understanding I need to live life Like some people never will So find me kindness Find me beauty Find me truth When temptation brings me to my knees And I lay here drained of strength Show me kindness Show me beauty Show me truth The ways that your heart sounds makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way that your heart beats makes all the difference In learning to live Here before me is my soul I'm learning to live I won't give up Till I've no more to give Listening to the city Whispering its violence I set out watching from above The 90's bring new questions New solutions to be found I fell in love to be let down Once again we dance in the crowd At times a step away From a common fear that's all spread out It won't listen to what you say Once you're touched and you stand alone To face the bitter fight Once I reached for love And now I reach for life Another chance to lift my life Free the sensation in my heart To ride the wings of dreams into changing horizons It brings inner peace within my mind, As I'm lifted from where I've split my life I hear an innocent voice I hear kindness, beauty and truth The way your heart sounds makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way your heart beats makes all the difference In learning to live Spread before you is your soul So forever hold the dreams within our hearts Through nature's inflexible grace I'm learning to live |

The smile of dawn arrived early May
She carried a gift from her home The night shed a tear to tell her of fear And of sorrow and pain she'll never outgrow Death is the first dance, eternal There's no more freedom The both of you will be confined, yeah, to this mind I was told there's a miracle for each day that I try I was told there's a new love that's born for each one that has died I was told there'd be no one I call on when I feel alone and afraid I was told if you dream of the next world You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire As a child, I thought I could live without pain, without sorrow As a man I've found it's all caught up with me I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid Somewhere like a scene from a memory There's a picture worth a thousand words Eluding stares from the faces before me It hides away and will never be heard of again Deceit is the second [incomprehensible] The city's cold blood teaches us to survive Just keep your heart in my eyes and we'll stay alive The third arrives Before the leaves have fallen, before we lock the doors There must be a third and last dance, this one will last forever Metropolis watches, thoughtfully smiles She's taken you to your home It can only take place When the struggle between our children has ended Now the miracle The sleeper know that the third is love Love is the dance of eternity |

You're frightened by the memories
You're frightened by your greed You're frightened of the silent rooms and the books you never read You see murder in disguise the party's over, the host is dead The great adventure's sick in bed (No celebrations) Family voices, familiar names They're coming after you again (to celebrate) You're frightened by the things they say You're scared of what you've done You feel your own reactions slow while everyone moves on Sunsets murdering your eyes It's a fire sale of love It's a fire sale of art It's a fire sale of every little thing that opened up your heart What you had is lost forever What you felt has gone for good Repeating lines won't make it better You pay the price in blood |

It doesn't make any sense
This tragic ending In spite of the evidence There's something still missing Heard some of the rumors told A taste of one's wealth Did Victoria wound his soul? Did she bid him farewell? Victoria: One last time We'll lay down today One last time Until we fade away One last time We'll lay down today One last time We slowly fade away Nicholas: Here I am inside his home It holds the many clues To my suspicions And as I'm standing here right now I'm finally shown what I have always known Coincidence I can't believe As my childhood dreams slowly come true Are these her memories Awakened through my eyes This house has brought back to life An open door I walk on through Into his bedroom Feeling as cold as outside The walls disappear To some woman who's screaming A man pleads forgiveness His words I cannot hear |

All wound up
On the edge Terrified Sleep disturbed Restless mind Petrified Bouts of fear Permeate All I see Heightening Nervousness Threatens me I am paralyzed So afraid to die Caught off guard Warning signs Never show Tension strikes Choking me Worries grow Why do I feel so numb Is it something to do with where I come from Should this be fight or flight I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest Agitated body in distress I feel like I'm in danger Daily life is strangled by my stress A stifling surge Shooting through all my veins Extreme apprehension Suddenly I'm insane Lost all hope for redemption A grave situation desperate at best Why do I feel so numb Is it something to do with where I come from Should this be fight or flight I don't know why I'm constantly reeling Helpless hysteria A false sense of urgency Trapped in my phobia Possessed by anxiety Run Try to hide Overwhelmed by this complex delirium |

Hypnotherapist:
"Close your eyes and begin to relax Take a deep breath, and let it out slowly Concentrate on your breathing With each breath you become more relaxed Imagine a brilliant white light above you focusing on this light as it flows through your body. Allow yourself to drift off as you fall deeper and deeper into a more relaxed state of mind Now as I count backward from ten to one you will feel more peaceful, and calm. Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six You will enter a safe place where nothing can harm you Five. Four. Three. Two. If at any time you need to come back all you must do is open your eyes One Nicholas: Safe in the light that surrounds me Free of the fear and the pain My subconscious mind Starts spinning through time To rejoin the past once again Nothing seems real I'm starting to feel Lost in the haze of a dream And as I draw near The scene becomes clear Like watching my life on a screen Hello Victoria so glad to see you My friend. |

High noon
Oh Id sell my soul for water Nine years worth Of breakin my back Theres no sun in the shadow of the wizard See how he glides Why hes lighter than air Oh I see his face Where is your star Is it far, is it far, is it far When do we leave I believe, yes, I believe * in the heat and the rain With whips and chains Just to see him fly So many die We built a tower of stone With out flesh and bone Just to see him fly Dont know why Now where do we go Hot wind moving fast across the desert We feel that our time has arrived The world spins while we put his wing together A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky Oh I see his face Where is your star It is far, is it far, is it far When do we leave, yeah I believe, I believe * All eyes see the figure of the wizard As he climbs to the top of the world No sound as he falls instead of rising Time standing still Then theres blood on the sand Oh I see his face Where was your star Was it far, was it far When did we leave We believe, we believe, we believe In the heat and rain With whips and chains To see him fly So many die We built a tower of stone With out flesh and bone To see him fly But why, it dont rain With all our chains, Did so many die Just to see him fly Look at my flesh and bone Now look, look, look, look Look at this tower of stone I see a rainbow rising Look there on the horizon And Im coming home Coming home, Im coming home Time is standing still He gave me back my will Oh, oh, oh, oh Going home Im going home My eyes are bleeding And my heart is weeping We still hope, we still hope, oh Take me back He gave me back my will Oh, oh, oh, oh Going home Im going home My eyes are bleeding And my heart is weeping We still hope, we still hope, oh Take me back, take me back Back to my home, oh, oh... |

conscious Strange Sensation
Unconscious relaxation What a pleasant nightmare And i can't wait to get there again Every time I close my eyes There's another vivid surprise Another whole life waiting Chapters unfinished fading Closer now slowly coming into view I've arrived Blinding sunshine beaming through There's a house i'm drawn to Familiar settings nothing new There's a pathway leading there With a haunting chill in the air There's a room at the top of the stairs Every night I'm drawn up there There's a girl in the mirror Her face is getting clearer Young child won't you Tell me why i'm here In her eyes i sense a story never told Behind the disguise There's something tearing At her soul Tonight I've been searching for it A feeling that's deep inside me Tonight I've been searching for The one that nobody knows Trying to break free I just can't help myself I'm felling like I'm going out of my head Tears my heart into two I'm not the one the sleeper thought he knew Back on my feet again Eyes open to the real world Metropolis surrounds me The mirror's shattered the girl Why is this other life Haunting me every day I'd Break through to the other side If only I'd find the way Something's awfully familiar The feeling's so hard to shake Could I have lived in that other world It's a link that i'm destined to make still searching but I don't know that for The missing key to unlock my mind's door Today I am searching for it A feeling that won't go away Today I am searching for The one that I only know Trying to break free I just can't help myself I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head Tears my soul into two I'm not the one I thought I always knew I just can't help myself I'm felling like I'm going out of my head Uncanny Strange Deja Vu But I don't mind I hope to find the truth |

Take your fingers from my hair
They have gotten us nowhere We can’t last another second For we are two, too lost for open doors Take your memories and your ways Let me see a brighter day Greener fields aren’t hard to hope for It’s just hard to go on living here without you Chorus: Somewhere I have dreamed That you haven’t got the time to be with me Somewhere though it seems That you have been making lovin’ without me Starshine, moonshine you’re the light that shines upon me baby I know, you’ll go find yourself another lover lady Let me tell you how I feel Loving others isn’t real You are blind Too blind to notice That their love is not the love we share together Chorus: Somewhere I have dreamed That you haven’t got the time to be with me Somewhere though it seems That you have been making lovin’ without me Starshine, moonshine your the light that shines upon me baby I know, you’ll go find yourself another lover lady Starshine, moonshine you’re the light that shine upon me baby I know, you’ll go find yourself another lover lady |

Tenement Funster:
My new purple shoes Been amazin' the people next door And my rock'n'roll forty fives Bin enragin' the folks on the lower floor I got a way with the girls on my block Try my best to be a real individual And when we go down to smokies and rock They line up like it's some kind of ritual Oh give me a good guitar And you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or just find me an open car I'll make the speed of light outa this place I like the good things in life But most of the best things ain't free It's the same situation just cuts like a knife When you're young and you're poor and you're crazy Young and you're crazy... Oh give me a good guitar And you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or just find me an open car I'll make the speed of light outa this place Flick Of The Wrist: Dislocate your spine if you don't sign He says I'll have you seeing double Mesmerize you when he's tongue tied Simply with those eyes ooh Synchronize your minds and see The beast within him rise Don't look back don't look back It's a rip off Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby Blow him a kiss and you're mad Flick of the wrist he'll eat your heart out A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head He's taken an arm and taken a leg All this time honey baby you've been had Intoxicate your brain with what I'm sayin' If not you'll lie in knee deep trouble Prostitute yourself he says Castrate your human pride ooh Sacrifice your leisure days Let me squeeze you 'till you've dried Don't look back don't look back It's a rip off Work my fingers to my bones I scream with pain I still make no impression Seduce you with his money make machine Cross collateralise big time money money Reduce you to a muzak fake machine Then the last goodbye Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby Blow him a kiss and you're mad Flick of the wrist he'll eat your heart out A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head He's taken an arm and taken a leg All this time honey baby you've been had Lily Of The Valley: Baby you've been had I am forever searching high and low But why does everybody tell me no Neptune of the seas an answer for me please The lily of the valley doesn't know I lie and wait with open eyes I carry on thru' stormy skies I follow ev'ry course my kingdom for a horse But each time I grow old Serpent of the Nile relieve me for a while And cast me from your spell and let me go Messenger from seven seas has flown To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne Wars will never cease Is there time enough for peace? The lily of the valley doesn't know |

Remember days of yesterday
How it flew so fast The two score and a year we had, I thought it would always last Those summer days and west coast dreams I wished would never end A young boy and his father, Idol and best friend I'll always remember Those were the best of times A lifetime together I'll never forget The morning shows on the radio The case of the missing dog Lying on the pillows at the old 812 Watching Harold and Maude The record shops, the stickball fields My home away from home And when we weren't together The hours on the phone I'll always remember Those were the best of times I'll cherish them forever The best of times But then came the call Our lives changed forever more "You can pray for a change But prepare for the end..." The fleeting winds of time Flying through each day All the things I should've done But time just slipped away Remember seize the day Life goes by in the blink of an eye With so much left to say These were the best of times I'll miss these days Your spirit lit my life each day Thank you for the inspiration Thank you for the smiles All the unconditional love That carried me for miles It carried me for miles But most of all thank you for my life These were the best of times I'll miss these days Your spirit lit my life each day My heart is bleeding bad But I'll be OK Your spirit guides my life each day |

Several years ago
In a foreign town Far away from home I met the Count of Tuscany A young eccentric man Bred from royal blood Took me for a ride Across the open countryside Get into my car Let's go for drive I love the way i feel uptight Just step inside Maybe you'll recall I kind of felt curious A character inspired by my brother's life Winding through the hills Seeing far behind On and on we drove Down narrow streets and dusty roads And last we came upon A picturesque estate On sprawling emerald hills An ancient world of times gone by Now let me introduce My brother A bitter gentleman - historian Sucking on his pipe Distinguished accent Making me uptight - no accident I- Want to stay alive Everything about this place just doesn't feel right I- I don't wanna die Suddenly I'm frightened for my life I- Want to say goodbye This could be the last time you see me alive I- I may not survive Knew it from the moment we arrived Would you like to see Our secret holy place? I come here late at night To pray to him by candle light Then viewing through the past I saw which is believed Still dressed in royal clothes A saint behind the altar History recalls During times of war Legend has been traced Stuck inside these castle walls Soldiers came to hide With barrels filled with wine Never to escape These tombs of old that's where they died Down the cellar stairs I disappear Like the angel's share The end is near Come and have a taste A rare vintage All the finest wines Improve with age I- Want to stay alive Everything about this place just doesn't feel right I- I don't wanna die Suddenly I'm frightened for my life I- Want to say goodbye This could be the last time you see me alive I- I may not survive Knew it from the moment we arrived Could this be the end? Is this the way I die? Sitting here alone No one by my side I don't understand I don't feel that I deserve this What did I do wrong? I just don't understand Give me one more chance Let me please explain It's all been circumstance I'll tell you once again It took me for a ride Promising a vast adventure Next thing that I know I'm frightened for my life Now wait a minute then That's not how it is You must be confused That isn't who I am Please don't be afraid I would never try to hurt you This is how we live Strange although it seems Please try to forgive The chapel and the Sade The soldiers in the wine The fables and the tales All handed through time Of course you're free to go Go and tell the world my story Tell about my brother Tell them about me The Count of Tuscany... |

Cunning, Baffling, Powerful Been beaten to a pulp Vigorous, Irresistable Sick and tired and laid low Dominating, Invisible Black-out, loss of control Overwhelming, Unquenchable I'm powerless, have to let go I can't escape it It leaves me frail and worn Can no longer take it Senses tattered and torn Hopeless surrender Obsession's got me beat Losing the will to live Admitting complete defeat Fatal Descent Spinning around I've gone too far To turn back round Desperate attempt Stop the progression At any length Lift this obsession Crawling in my glass prison A place where no one knows My secret lonely world begins So much safer here A place where I can go To forget about my daily sins Life here in my glass prison A place I once called home Fall in nocturnal bliss again Chasing a long lost friend I no longer can control Just waiting for this hopelessness to end II. Restoration Run? fast from the wreckage of the past A shattered glass prison wall behind me Fight? past walking through the ashes A distant oasis before me Cry? desperate crawling on my knees Begging God to please stop the insanity Help me? I'm trying to believe Stop wallowing in my own self pity "We've been waiting for you my friend The writing's been on the wall All it takes is a little faith You know you're the same as us all" Help me? I can't break out this prison all alone Save me? I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own Heal me? I can't restore my sanity alone Enter the door Desperate Fighting no more Help me restore To my sanity At this temple of hope I need to learn Teach me how Sorrow to burn Help me return To humanity I'll be fearless and thorough The enter this temple of hope Believe Transcend the pain Living the live Humility Opened my eyes This new odyssey Of rigorous honesty Serenity I never know Soundness of mind Helped me to find Courage the change All the things that I can "We'll help you perform this miracle But you must set your past free You dog the hole, but you can't bury your soul Open your mind and you will see" Help me? I can't break out this prison all alone Save me? I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own Heal me? I can't restore my sanity alone III. Revelation Way off in the distance I saw the door I tried to open I tried forcing with all of my will and still The door wouldn't open Unable to trust in my faith I turned and walked away I looked around, felt a chill in the air Took my will and turned it over The glass prison which once held me is now gone A long lost fortress Armed only with liberty And the key of my willingness Fell down on my knees and prayed "Thy will be done" I turned around, saw a light shining through The door was wide open |

Temptation- why won't you leave me alone? Lurking Every Corner, everywhere I go -Self Control- Don't turn your back on me now When I need you most Constant pressure tests my will My will or my wont My Self Control escapes from me still .... Hypocrite- How could you be so cruel and expect my faith in return? -Resistance- Is not as hard as it seems When you close the door I spent so long trusting in you I trust you forgot Just when I thought I believed in you... It's time for me to deal Becoming all too real living in fear,- Why did you lie and pretend? This has come to an end I'll never trust you again It's time you made your amends Look in the mirror my friend Let's stare the problem right in the eye It's plagued me from coast to coast Racing the clock to please everyone All but the one who matters the most Reflections of reality are slowly coming into view How in the hell could you possibly forgive me? After the hell I put you through It's time for me to deal Becoming all too real living in fear Why'd I betray my friend? Lying until the end Living life so pretend It's time to make my amends I'll never hurt you again |

[X. Restraint]
Freedom calls my name Serenity keeps me sane Happiness -- it dulls the pain Honest to see my place Open to other ways Willingness to understand Justice but do not judge Courtesy for others' flaws Kindness -- it's not that hard Self-restraint of tongue and pen Inventory -- my daily friend Analysis let down your guard Look in the mirror What do you see? The shattered fortress That once bound me Faithful ascent, through darkest fires I've found the path to take me higher You're smart enough for me to trust go live your life now Just keep these steps in your life and you'll know how If you're not sure, ask yourself, "Have I done to them as I would have them do to me?" Look in the mirror What's that you see? The shattered fortress Fly now be free Faithful ascent, through darkest fires I've found the path to take me higher I once thought it better to be right But now I have finally seen the light Sometimes you've got to be wrong And learn from mistakes I live with serenity now Not self-righteous hate [XI. Receive] (Help me be a channel of Thy peace That where there is hatred, I may bring love; That where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness; That where there is discord, I may bring harmony; That where there is error, I may bring truth; That where there is doubt, I may bring faith) Now that you can see all you have done (That where there is despair, I may bring hope; That where there are shadows, I may bring light) It's time to take that step into the kingdom (That where there is sadness, I may bring joy) All your sins will help to make you strong (That I may seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted. That I may seek to understand than to be understood) And help you break right through the prison wall (That I may seek to love, rather than to be loved, for it is by self-forgetting that one finds, it is by forgiving that one is forgiven) Keep all of me, The desires that once burned me deep inside Help me live today And help to give me grace To carry out your ways I am ready, help me be all I can be I am ready, help guide me and keep me free [XII. Responsible] I am responsible when anyone, anywhere Reaches out for help, I want my hand to be there I am responsible when anyone, anywhere Reaches out for help, I want my hand to be there [Dedicated to Bill W. and all of his friends] |

Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where do we go when we die? What lies beyond And what lay before? Is anything certain in life? They say, "Life is too short," "The here and the now" And "You're only given one shot" But could there be more, Have I lived before, Or could this be all that we've got? If I die tomorrow I'd be allright Because I believe That after we're gone The spirit carries on I used to be frightened of dying I used to think death was the end But that was before I'm not scared anymore I know that my soul will transcend I may never find all the answers I may never understand why I may never prove What I know to be true But I know that I still have to try If I die tomorrow I'd be allright Because I believe That after we're gone The spirit carries on Victoria: "Move on, be brave Don't weep at my grave Because I am no longer here But please never let Your memory of me disappear" Nicholas: Safe in the light that surrounds me Free of the fear and the pain My questioning mind Has helped me to find The meaning in my life again Victoria's real I finally feel At peace with the girl in my dreams And now that I'm here It's perfectly clear I found out what all of this means If I die tomorrow I'd be allright Because I believe That after we're gone The spirit carries on |
