- Addicted To Pain
Tell me how it feels to live a lie
Tell me do you know that it won't ever be the same
You can't deny, the house of cards just hit the floor
Don't tell me you can save it in the end
There's nothing you can do
'cause when it's gone, you know it won't come back again
But you don't listen anymore
- Before Tomorrow Comes
I couldn't sleep I had to listen
To a conscience knowing so well
That nothing comes from indifference
I look inside of myself
Will I find some kind of conviction?
Will I bid the hero farewell?
Will I be defined by things that could have been?
- Blackbird
The willow it weeps today
A breeze from the distance is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizon
It's coming to sweep you away
It's coming to sweep you away
[Chorus:]
- Brand New Start
Against the sky
Streams of light
Call out to me and you
We leave as one
We've just begun
To find the solace we're due
This is the life we must choose
- Break Me Down
It's too late the time has come
I've kept this inside me for way too long
Silence will leave me cold
Lost on a highway that never takes me home
- Breathe Again
I have played the part
I have all but lost my soul
And I have sacrificed
For what it's worth, I just don't know
In the silence of my heart
There is a distant call
Yeah
- Broken Wings
"Broken Wings"
Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls
Leave the peace alone
- Buried Alive
I twist and turn
In the darkest space
Can't find my worth
As I numb the pain
Glass to the sky
With a blacktooth grin
This whiskey smile
- Burn It Down
Drank so much last night
I think that I drowned
But now my cup is empty
No one has seen my will around
Now my heart is aching
Sometimes I fall asleep for days
But my bed is empty
I know I am too set in my ways
- Calm The Fire
Calm the fire do not fight anymore
They don’t know what they’re saying they don’t know anything at all
For all that matters is you know that this is not their fault
All the places we should never go
Lost between the cracks something wicked waits below
And all I’m saying there are some things better left unseen at all
It’s been so long it’s tearing me apart
- Come To Life
Hey
tore away the veil of weakness
The enemy now lies beneath us
I think we're safe
Hey
Won't be held down any longer
No disgrace and no dishonor
- Coming home
As I peel away
All the years of pain
I discovered what's been all along
You were so right
I was so wrong
Every shooting star
They all fall so hard
- Cry of Achilles
Crying out
Now you can't escape you are buried in doubt
And it pulls you down
Now you're in too deep
You may never get out
Such an awful fate
Tear it down
- Down To My Last
And to the ones in which we sing,
We are honored you let us in
I remember the thoughts of many things,
Of the glory that you bring
- Fallout
Another river runs against the grain
A loner is born
He's filled with anguish
Deep within he's dieing everyday
To find his way
He is lost
So consumed
- Farther Than The Sun
Drifting like a comet in the cold
I cannot feel at all
I fade to black and set out on my own
This is my resolve
[Chorus:]
I have to find a place where I belong
I do not like what I have become
- Find the Real
Stuck in the middle
I burrow inside
Back to the cradle
Away from the burdens
Of all my crimes
Before it's fatal
The past has found me
- Fortress
Am I lost to wander forever
Perhaps for the rest of my days?
If all that has been surrounded
Will just go to waste
You left me out in the distance
To wander this world on my own
Sometimes it's so hard to admit it but I can't let you go
- Ghost Of Days Gone By
The misery I know
Like a friend that won't let go
Is creeping up on me now once again
So I sing this song tonight
To the ghost that will not die
That somehow seems to haunt me till the end
- Home
Hope
The only thing that we have left to hold [echos]
In a world gone mad there's nowhere left to go
Where nothing lasts there's permanence I know
Is there something I can say?
To bring back what once remained
Where is all that we let go?
- I Know It Hurts
And you say this ain't living
You say you can't go on
You only take as you've given
And now your hope is all but gone
Though you lost your way (Now is not forever)
But I know your pain
- In Loving Memory
Thanks for all you've done
I've missed you for so long
I can't believe you're gone
You still live in me
I feel you in the wind
You guide me constantly
I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
- Isolation
When all is lost to you inside
When all the darkness takes the light
The ritual warning has begun
And now you tear away from everyone
Disconnected so alone yeah
Severed ties from all you know
Isolation
- Life must go on
Alter Bridge
Life Must Go On
Sitting alone in the cold of the night
You're trying to find what you need to survive
You're so afraid
You can't go on
Left in the silence that tears at your heart
- Lover
If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
The truth exposed to love is devoured
And the ivory tower is coming down
I felt betrayed and order is broken
The wounds are open and bleeding out
- Make It Right
How many times have you cut only to feel the pain
How many days have you run only to crawl
How many nights did you scream, only to scream in vain
How many years till you face the shame of it all
Into the fire you fall
If only you can make it right
Stand up and fight for resolve
- Metalingus
I've been defeated and brought down
Dropped to my knees when hope ran out
The time has come to change my ways
On this day I see clearly everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all, leave it all behind
- Never Born To Follow
I know you feel it tonight
She’s a million miles from the life
Never to return
She left it all behind
If only I could have known
The things she held in her soul
She harbored so much hurt
- New Way To Live
In your head monsters call
In the air you find no one
Is there at all
But you keep them alive
Paralyzed you cannot run
You only crawl
- One By One
Underneath the desert sun
They bid my brother's blood to run
Many miles away
Hell has come today
Fire raining from the sky
See the face of fear asking one last time
Let me get home safe
- One Day Remains
As your will is bent and broken, every vision has been cast into the wind
As your courage crashes down before your eyes
Don't lay down and die
'Cause I see in you
More than you'll ever know
And I ask you, "Why
You question the strength inside?"
- Open Your Eyes
Looking back I clearly see
What it is that's killing me
Through the eyes of one I know
I see a vision once let go
I had it all
Constantly it burdens me
Hard to trust and can't believe
- Outright
Never be afraid
No never fear at all
But I must be on my way
But you must carry on
But if I do not make it back again
Please know that I have loved you till the end
- Rise Today
The wind is blowing cold
Have we lost our way tonight?
Have we lost our hope to sorrow?
Feels like we're all alone
Running further from what?s right
And there are no more heroes to follow
- Shed My Skin
I am not alone
I live with the memories regret is my home
This is my true freedom
Express all the feelings of what I"ve become
I watch the rising sun
I hope I find some peace today
[CHORUS]
- Show Me A Leader
Well they're selling another Messiah
Here tonight
But we're all way too numb and divided
To buy it
Singing
No!
No!
- Show Me A Sign
A trail of tears beyond redemption
Just a word and nothing more no more
I must reveal I am falling
To the dark I now am born
So if you hear this cry
Show me a sign give me meaning
Leave me to life let me know
- Slip To The Void
Slip to the void
To the dark
To the fall
Crawl to the life you shouldn't know
You should never come this way
To test the hands of fate
You don't belong here
- Still Remains
I cast a line when I saw you were drowning
Still you turn your back on me
Pulled you from the fire when you were burning
Still you never could believe
So carry on if you must go your way
Though embrace my heart
Your free will still remains
- The Damage Done
I won't waste away,
I won't let this take me down.
I can't survive,
As long as I keep it around.
I wish it would fade,
But it'll just sell me out.
Over and over and over,
- The End Is Here
We search for what we hold inside
So hard to find
Luck turns
Will the fallen ever reach within
And rise again
[CHORUS]
- Ties That Bind
I tear on the leash
That keeps me contained and controlled
Let me go
I want to break free
And bite my way out of this hole
[Chorus]
One last hope
- Watch Over You
"Watch Over You"
Leaves are on the ground
Fall has come
Blue skies turning grey
Like my love
I tried to carry you
- Watch Your Words
Watch your words
Or your words might drown you
And cure my wounds
And she light will blind you
To truly see well
You must have faith
Oh the righteous they can't wait
- Waters Rising
Now it the end of time a fool and his legacy are gone
His pride found another way to make sure it all went wrong
Awake in a new day our fears have come to pass
And this time they’re gonna last, this time they’re gonna last.
Don’t let me drown!
Don’t let me drown!
- Wayward One
And they cry
And they call
As the wayward walk alone
City lights
Urban sprawl
In a place no one should know
- White Knuckles
Are you still lost tonight?
Living but dead inside
This is a proclamation
This is a call to rise
Are you abused, alone?
Walking with broken bones
If you feel you've been forgotten
- Wonderful Life
Close your eyes,
And just hear me sing,
One last long goodbye,
One last song before you spread your wings.
There's so much left to say,
And before this moment slips away
- Words Darker Than Their Wings
They say you are right
I hope that I'm wrong
I know that you tried
But still it is gone
Just don't you lose hope
I swear I've never dreamed that we're alone
But don't you let go
- Zero
Now there is a light in the dark some will say
There is a grace up high
There is a beauty that some can behold
Not I. Not I.
There is a power that's felt from the shore
There is a force that won't break
But all of these things to me are no more
I've changed. I've changed.
