Shades Of God

Plead forgiveness father
All my troubles fade from view
Pale the four walls surround
Have I madness in my eyes?

While mortals watch the day
Our fear will pave the way
Hidden until the end

See a room of crimson
Nothing I have seen before
Coldness wrapped around me
Struggle not for hell is here

While tyrants close the doors
Each one will know the score
Sorrow takes it all

Saved the sick of life's bliss
Charity of utmost guilt
Fear the blinded temper
It has lied it's way to you...

While mortals watch the day
And light has turned to grey
What lies up ahead

Light shines into your eyes
That I'm blinded by, your eyes
Mortal throughout the days
Until we're saved [...we're saved]

Turning to black
I can't see through this
No option from turning away
We will see another day
[Turning away... will we see another day]

Pain... is what we are waiting for
Lying deep in comfort, I awake now
I cannot believe this tale
I cannot believe the echoes... or your petty lies

Take away our world, thrown into the stars
Take away our world, worship all that's ours

Cry at echoes in your heart
Lying in the ocean until the end of time
Solitude embracing us
Suicide our hearts embrace
Life and death become the race

Take away the [sings 'our'] world, hold it to the sky
Take away the [sings 'our'] world, pity your demise

Array of fear, controls me now
And I cry - in dark despair
[Oh yeah]

[Take me away
Take away our world
Take me away
Take away our world]

I am oppressed by lack of power
Holding on until the end
Helping me tread on your life
Life is the game, strengthen my anger
Reshape the misguided times
See me then, die, fate has control of us all
Blemish the quest of all
Create the dread

Waiting in line, lost in your prayer
Lost in your insanity
It seems to be real
Soothing the pain that you feel
Can't find the key to destiny
Life is your quest, erase your quest

Your christ is failing you, like poison running through
Does god know what to do, as I tell the harboured truth
While grief lies at your door, for shreds of flesh you've torn
The pain comes back for me, too vague for you too see

Lord, smile at me
My ashes have scattered the plains
[They] Won't return again...
Lord stare at me
Wait [here] for me to rise, rise again[, rise again]...

Finding the truth, behind lies, logic is paralysed
Feeding the flesh, consuming the rest
You'll reach your end, you'll pay the debts and silently send

Lying here alone and cold
And I'm waiting for the dawn
Laughter at my every move
As if crippled by my thoughts
And I'm burning cold, burning cold

You prevail in the end
(Unlike your god's obscenity)
Hating the disgrace
(Of a child's insanity)
I'm taken all the more
And I'll take all that I see
You'll do it all for me (is this the end - it cannot be)

All the more, you feed off my rejection[, all the more]
All the more, I tear your soul in two[, all the more]

Lonely are my tears of pain
And I'm punished by their cause
I'll rest on my burning throne
A release I move towards is eternal sleep

[And I'm burning cold
And it keeps me locked away
And it keeps me locked away
And it keeps me locked away
Away]

All the more, I battle through the heartache[, all the more]
All the more, I'd lay myself to rest[, all the more]

It looks to kill
And fails to wait in sight
It twists me from inside
Carry all, heal the sore, I can no longer bleed
What is this, thing I've been, you can set me free
The one I see, a blinded fool corrupting me
From within, worn away [sings: 'within']

Find, by mind, abusive ways
Allures me from restrain (I'd kill while others rape)
Create the obscene, you can set me free
Sense predicts the scorn
The hour of peace is gone
The one I see, a blind deaf fool forever be
Burning me... [burning me]

Worn fools that prey
On a faith filled day
Laughter stays, out of my way
Pass through my dismay
