Hold me for the night If only just to set me free I need a shelter from the light That sheds the ugly truth on me We are both alone so, baby, Enter if you please Bow at my throne I'll bend you to your knees Give me your word And your secrets to keep Sickle in my hand, And your love's left to reap These fangs were meant for you And soon you'll feel the bite Follow me you will learn How the dark deceived the light Now that you've survived This hunter's night you faced Will you stand or fall In the ashes of your grace? We are both alone, So baby enter if you will Like tears of God on fallen snow, Tonight your blood will spill Give me your word And your secrets to keep Sickle in my hand, And your love's left to reap These fangs were meant for you And soon you'll feel the bite Follow me you will learn How the dark deceived the light

So many people out there speaking It makes me wonder how many have prayed Forgiveness is what I will be seeking For all the apathy I have displayed So many die, children and teens But after all, death's so depressing I'll carry on with my daily routines And this emotion that I am suppressing Thousands die as I watch a news story My conscience hunts me, I'm the quarry Dreaming dead dance before me Conscience hunts I'm the quarry (x2) Now I feel I'm being hunted I've become prey to my moral sense With ghosts of the dead, I am confronted That I'm uninvolved is a pretense Millions have died on my TV screen But after all, their deaths are depressing I'll carry on with my daily routines And this regret that I am suppressing Thousands die as I watch a news story My conscience hunts me, I'm the quarry Dreaming dead dance before me Conscience hunts I'm the quarry Thousands die as I watch a news story...

We have lived and we've died at least A million times before We familiar few who, promised peace, Were sent to war Oh, what men fight to keep alive They just as soon destroy And they trade away dreams for Momentary shades of joy Our homes become battlefields, Plowshares turn to swords As the land that we've shared becomes Surrendered to our lords All the lines that divide us fall From shadowed skies above And descend on our hungry hearts Into what we call love Convinced we are the enemy They curse our place on bended knee Guided by the war within We bend beneath their weighted whims And get Lost in the silence, Where words become violence Then lost in the violence Our words become silence Lost in the silence, Where words become violence Then lost in their violence Our words become silence All split between many truths And paths we're taught to walk We collide with our jagged steel We forget how to talk In the battles we're forced to wage, Humanity's not lost Does the one who denies the wonder Truly know the cost? Oh, our homes become battlefields And plowshares turn to swords As the mercy of martyrs becomes Lost upon their lords When the blade falls upon us, Weakness does not make us weak For the strength of one's strength of all The source of love we seek It asks "how can you silence me When I am that which sets you free? Listen past the bloody din And you can hear me deep within..." But you're lost in the silence Where words become violence Then lost in the violence Your words become silence So please don't deny me Words don't define me In a world that derides me I'm just trying to find me But Im lost in the silence, Where my words become violence Then lost in the violence, My words become silence Please don't deny me Please don't deny me I'm just trying to find me I'm just trying to find me.... But I'm lost in the silence And my words become violence Then lost in the violence My words become silence....

Serenity, Love and truth, Elusive beauty We all pursue Keep the peace, Brace the tide The light's so bright But you don't have to hide Just follow my voice Through the dark Give it a shot, you know We'll make our mark In battered times, Hold my hand Trust in me, You know I'll understand Serendipity has blessed our lives In ways we've yet to even realize In the wrong place At the right time Call me yours And I'll call you mine Here we stand On shores of time Trying to find the reason To our rhyme These pages we write Like lines in the snow Will follow us No matter where we go So don't relent It's too late now Give it some faith, you know I'll show you how Trust in me, Hold my hand It's like I said, you know I'll understand Serendipity has blessed our lives In ways we've yet to even realize In the wrong place At the right time Call me yours And I'll call you mine

Light-footed and quick-witted You must always be For the storm that comes, You must outrun For in the end, Death comes for you and me So run, my dear, Towards the setting sun Now it seems my time's Come to an end And I'll say goodbye To all my dearest friends I've made my peace with Sins I couldn't save So just lay me down Into my six-foot grave For to be alive you must bleed Straight from the depths of your heart It's funny how life can Swiftly tend to be A battle from the back to the start But I believe the power of the mind You'll be surprised by what you'll find For I know a surgeon who lives Upon a hill He says saving men is His only thrill He's a wealthy man Concerned with lack of wealth He's a healthy man Concerned with lack of health But now it seems His time's come to an end And he'll say goodbye To all his dearest friends But he's made his peace With lives he couldn't save So we'll lay him down Into his six-foot grave For to be alive you must bleed Straight from the depths of your heart It's funny how life can Swiftly tend to be A battle from the back to the start But I believe the power of the mind I've been appalled by what I've found For to be alive you must bleed Straight from the depths of your heart It's funny how life can Swiftly tend to be A battle from the back to the start But I believe the power of the mind You'll be surprised by what you'll find So light-footed and quick-witted You must always be....
