And the stars burn for me

And the night is my only friend
I should rule this
I'm the master of so many men
So lonely
Been alone for too many years
So wretched
To suffer the mortal man's fears

This world was made to mock me
The human race has damned me
I become the lies they speak

Won't you join me in my anguish
Won't you comfort me in this abyss
Desire of me, satisfy me, I'm yours
Crucify me like the one that you love

I'll watch this world burn
I'll watch this world burn

Won't you join me in my anguish
Won't you comfort me in this abyss
Desire of me, satisfy me, I'm yours
Crucify me like the one that you love

And the stars burn for me
And the night is my only friend
I should rule this
I'm the master of so many men
So lonely
Been alone for too many years
So wretched
To suffer the mortal man's fears

All of the longing
Condensed in this place and time
I invoke you, O spirits, crawl inside
Then awaken my conscience
Lain dormant for all this time
And feed the despair that pervades my life, yeah

In the hold of a nightmare
I see truth in their words and lies
And beauty appears in sorrow's guise
So caught in the moment
We ignore the passing of time
And mistake the empty for the sublime, yeah

Oh, my savior
Give value to these misdeeds
In sin you bathe me
Holy
So I say that the father lies
And my dreams will betray me tonight

Obey the scourge of night
May darkness bring sight
I welcome your grace
Upon this night

All of the longing
And thoughts scribed in soothing fire
The ashes and smoke breed my desire
Abject and misshapen
To you I give all that I'm worth
My swarthy children of the earth, yeah

Oh, can these words be given shape
Oh, does the fool acknowledge fate
I've awaken the monster
The one that exists in my mind
In fear I behold the apparent divine
It grants me one vision
The mother in death giving birth
To the swarthy children of the earth, yeah

Oh, our savior
Pour deep within me
In blackness forsake me
Holy

So I say that the father lies
And my dreams will betray me tonight, yeah

Breathe slightly
Sleep soundly
All through this night
Breathe slightly
Sleep soundly
All through this night

I'm under its spell
I am too small
To try to resist the Ancient One's call
Will you be with me when I fall
I'm under its spell
I am too small
To try to resist the Ancient One's call
Will you be with me when I fall
I'm under its spell
I am too small
To try to resist the Ancient One's call
Will you be with me when I fall

This mystic voyage

Transcending space and time
This journey ends within my mind

All thoughts turn inward
Enter this world sublime
Where I exist within my mind

And the laws of the earth mean nothing to those
Who leave this world far behind
And the words that I speak are my own again
When I leave this all fall behind

This mystic voyage

The sun sets for the final time, the night feels fine

And we walk in the distant shadows to the end of time
We are one with the moonlit ocean, it ignores our sins
Baptized in its healing waters, the new world now begins
It says, hold on, hold on now to the things that seem unreal
Don't let go of the love you feel

Yeah, I watched the sun die today
I sat alone as the light slipped away
And I know the earth becomes mine today, yeah
And the moon still shines from so far away

The love that keeps me here will never disappear
I won't fade away
And the earth and sea are mine
The sun may never shine
I won't fade away

Hope will live on, within this love song
I know it's not real, yeah
The earth will still spin and time cannot end
I know it's not real

Hope will live on, within this love song
I know it's not real, yeah
The earth will still spin and time cannot end
I know it's not real

Strange are the things we place our beliefs in

My apprehensions tear down the walls of the temple

The dollar signs that you crave
Mark the extent of your faith

Strange are the things we choose to believe in
My apprehensions tear down the walls of the temple

I'll never fit in, no faith to believe in
My resignation tears down the walls of the temple

Your cash betrays your true worth
Obtain your garden on Earth

Profane is the wealth that you believe in

Since you can't be wrong, shield your eyes from the sun
Its light will expose the poverty of your soul

Your wealth cannot save
This sacrament that will fade
Your opulence has no worth
You've sold your soul on this earth

And I'll break from your hold
My life cannot be bought and sold
This truth you will never get
And now you're so far in debt

And I'll break from your hold
My life cannot be bought and sold
This truth you will never get
And now you're so far in debt

All life moves closer to death

Hold on to just one last breath
We don't know what time holds
Do you fear what's out there

We cling to the things of this earth
Trace your steps back to your birth
We don't know what time holds
We can't face this one fate

So I pray
One more day

I feel the pain, hold on to me in the night
I feel alive, don't let it end, give me life

Does time move in a straight line
I'll stand still or lag behind
Count the days till your fate
Hold on to what kills you

I'll awake
One more day

I feel the pain, hold on to me in the night
I feel alive, don't let it end, give me life

I can never walk away, I'm caught here forever
You can never follow me expecting to fly
All I've ever dreamed about is leaving forever
I am like the serpent who tries to devour itself

I feel the pain, hold on to me in the night
I feel alive, don't let it end, give me life

I feel the pain, hold on to me in the night
I feel alive, don't let it end, give me life

I can never walk away, I'm caught here forever
You can never follow me expecting to fly
All I've ever dreamed about is leaving forever
I am like the serpent who tries to devour itself
Itself...
