On The Backs Of Angels
Standing on the backs of angels
Destined to create
Mounting the attack
While heroes carry your weight
We spiral towards disaster
Survival fading faster
Riding out the wave
Content to feed off the machine
Bleeding us to death
The new American dream
You're blinded by your hunger
Beware your days are numbered
Tears fall from the shameless
Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
Blurring lines drawn in between
What is right and what is wrong
Victims on the radar string us along
We're on to your agenda
The dead end road to nowhere
Tears fall from the shameless
Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
Tears fall from the shameless
Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water
Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
Selfless are the righteous
Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter
Build Me Up, Break Me Down
Today I will be your savior
Tomorrow ‒ a demon
You crave my erratic behavior
And watch my every move
Obsession at all cost
You'll be the death of me
Broken and torn apart
Why can't you let me be?
You build me up
You break me down
Until I'm falling to pieces
I crash and burn
I never learn
I'm your guilty addiction
Build me up
Break me down
Tonight I am the new messiah
You deify
When I'm no longer desired
I'll be crucified
The one who's free from sin
The first to cast the stone
Fighting the fear within
I won't be left alone
You build me up
You break me down
Until I'm falling to pieces
The price I pay
To live this way
And the fantasy stays alive
I can't live up
I can't let down
And leave you falling to pieces
I crash and burn
I never learn
I'm your morbid obsession.
Build me up
Break me down
You build me up
You break me down
Until I'm falling to pieces
The price I pay
To live this way
And the fantasy stays alive
I can't live up
I can't let down
And leave you falling to pieces
I crash and burn
I never learn
Your iconic fixation
Build me up
Break me down
Build me up
Break me down
LOST NOT FORGOTTEN
I am not immortal
I am just a man
A power-craving tyrant
Beyond the shadows in the sand
Men have come to fear me
Many bow and cry
Known across the desert
I am the one who will not die
I have faced the demons of our most desperate moments
I have been the one to defend our pride
I have worn the banner of my abandoned brothers
I will be the first one to give my live
Lost not forgotten
Reigning against the odds
Feared and respected living among the gods
Leading the empire
Spirit as black as coal
Lost not forgotten
King of the deathless soul
An Epic novel no one's read
Pages torn and faded
The greatest story never told
Behold the kingdom I possess
Land of wealth and beauty
Where the streets are paved with gold
Once fearless and brave
A realm passed away
The ghosts of yesterday
Lost not forgotten
Reigning against the odds
Feared and respected living among the gods
Leading the empire
Brutal and heartless
Vanishing further
Into the darkness
Lost not forgotten
King of the deathless soul
This Is The Life
In the heart of your most solemn barren night
When your soul's turned inside out
Have you questioned all the madness you invite?
What your life is all about
Some of us choose to live gracefully
Some can get caught in the maze
And lose their way home
This is the life we belong to
Our gift divine
Have you ever wished that you were someone else?
Traded places in your mind
It's only a waste of your time
Some of us choose to live gracefully
Some can get caught in the maze
And lose their way home
This is the life we belong to
Our gift divine
Feed the illusion you dream about
Cast out the monsters inside
Life begins with an empty slate
Fragile left in the hands of fate
Driven by love and crushed by hate
Until the day the gift is gone
And shadows remain
Some of us choose to live gracefully
Some can get caught in the maze
And lose their way home
Memories will fade
Time races on
What will they say after you're gone?
This is the life we belong to
Our gift divine
Our gift divine
