ALL IS LOST, THIS WORLD IS DUST CRUMBLING IN HOLOCAUST NO MORE HOPE, NO MORE PAIN EXTINGUISHING 'TIL ALL IS LOST I REJECT THIS WORLD I SEE ALL THIS INHUMANITY HORRIFIED THERE'S NOTHING LEFT INSIDE OF ME I CAN'T SEE BEYOND YOUR MYSTERY I CAN'T FEEL BEYOND THIS PAIN EXISTENCE IS A TRAVESTY YOU'RE DRIVING ME INSANE Annihilation of my soul Trembling, loss of control Loneliness and isolation Emotional disintegration WOUNDED PRIDE, SELF DENIED HARVESTING THE HATE INSIDE MALIGNANT, MAGNIFICENT MALNOURISHED, MALEVOLENT A BLOODY COPRSE, A BEATEN HORSE DISINTEGRATED I CAN'T SEE BEYOND YOUR MYSTERY I CAN'T FEEL BEYOND THIS PAIN EXISTENCE IS A TRAVESTY YOU'RE DRIVING ME INSANE Annihilation of my soul Trembling, loss of control Loneliness and isolation Emotional disintegration

Surprise, surmise, the distance in your eyes Silent symphonies whisper a star-lit reprise Flowers for the hearth, a new day given birth A measure of our worth Night given sight, will we see the day No prophecies to show us the way Tomorrow we die, so it's no use to cry And there's plenty of time to get by NO, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SOME WOULD LIVE TO DECEIVE THE WORLD LOST TO ANARCHY THERE IS NO DESTINY To be with the sea, a thousand centuries wide Sidhe, lost in me, the sirens conde Drifting through a state of unconscious bliss Frozen by winter's kiss WHY DIEFY SUCH SENSELESS HOSTILITY? WAR OVER LORE PREACHING PEACE AND PROSPERITY LONG LIKE A PSALM FROM A STARLIGHT SYMPHONY RAIN BLOOD, MILK, AND PAIN, IN THE NAME OF SECURITY Tomorrow we die, so it's no use to cry And there's plenty of time to get done Within us we nd more of our kind And together we all act as one

Half in shadows, half in light I gaze into the summer night The soft trickle of the rain Caresses trees along the lane Through the window lies the storm Reverberating without form The softly spoken thundercloud Reveals the nature of the sound And high above the moonless sky Satellites are floating by Drifting on, no reason why I find the spider, but then I DIE ALL THROUGH THE WINTER, THE DARKNESS REIGNS SUPREME IN THE GLACIAL PALACES, THE BLIZZARD BLINDS THE QUEEN TO THE ANCIENT CIRCLES THAT REDEFINE THE PLAIN ALL THE MISTY MADNESS WASHED AWAY BY THE RAIN Summer serenely cleanses me of fear Through the mist, I thought I saw her appear The twilight awash, in a sea of gray Quietly I saw her slowly slip away DEEP INTO THE VALLEY, I DISTURB THE ANCIENT DUST TOO OBSCURE TO FIND THE LOCK HIDDEN BENEATH THE CRUST WANDERING THE WORLD, WONDERING IF ALL IN VAIN SEARCHING FOR AN ANSWER, I AM SUMMONED BY THE RAIN HERE THERE IS NO PAIN, HERE THERE'S NO REALITY HERE THERE IS NO WHY, HERE THERE'S NO MORALITY ONLY PEACE LEADS TO PROSPERITY WE NEED NO POLICE, IF WE HAVE SINCERITY THIS IS THE BATTERED DREAM, PASSED DOWN SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME A SILENT REQUIEM, PASSED DOWN TO THE END OF TIME THUS IT HAS BEEN, AND SO IT SHALL BE UNTIL WE PASS INTO WHAT WE'RE MADE As if the whole world was a dream I sit and ponder what it means When some misguided soul pollutes The essence of the dream And liars dance as widows weep To an unholy masterpiece The implications of our sleep That we shall never know peace But love conquers all In the end, we're very small In the end, one 'til we fall In the end, love will stand tall.

I see you try so hard But everything still falls apart No matter what you do They are still mean to you Your promised land seems so far away And so you have to take it day by day And when they steal from you it breaks your heart There's nothing you can do but do your part Not alone, but by yourself Pay the bills and do without And just when things are going right Bad luck magnifies your plight Each moment is an eternity When you're searching for your destiny And all you want to do is get away From all the pain they cause you in your stay Fly with me into the dream... Everything around you fades away As you walk through the fog of gray Secret paths scatter here and there Walk them with me, if you dare Deep in the forest lies the dream Someday you'll know just what I mean And you will nd your promised land waiting for you And then you'll nd the peace that you once knew.

Drifting in and out of sleep, the city slowly fades away Distant dissonant disorder pleasantly lls my dreams Somewhere in the corner of the place I like to call my mind Illusions of delusions call and take me to another time Jaded by my memories and worn down by reality An alternate dimension offers welcoming serenity And when I'm in my little world, nothing ever bothers me And everything is blue and red and green Hypnotized within myself, the colors lead me through the sand Eroding and corroding what I can Wandering through foggy dew, I travel far to look at you Lifting stars from sea to sky and further Galactic clouds of twilight dawn and everything this crystal morn Is drifting in a state of blissfulness Orion greets the winter sky as he slowly passes by The moon offers its cold and watchful stare The summer night replaces frost, the budding trees no longer lost The gyroscopic stellar dance of dawn Moonlight paints serenity with photographic memory And sugar-coated lunacy protects the world from sanity Dripping silent water down across the lonely forest town The tidal mountain glacier marches slowly towards oblivion Sometimes life gets to me and I get so strung out When I pick up my guitar I remember what it's all about Summer springs of sunlight gaze upon the late returning haze Across the foggy moor I hear the siren singing songs of praise Somewhere is a distant bell recalling all who call it home Writing music of the spheres into a worn-out dusty tome Into the writing on the wall across the ancient stellar road Mosquitoes prancing and cavorting searching for the mother load And o the beaten path I go to nd another path for all But everything is not as it should be Abandoned castles on the shores that once bore witness to many wars Are now alone to face the wind and rain And that is pouring everywhere, so leave the world in nature's care And everything will nd a kind of balance Jagged rocky cliffs eclipse the setting sun in times of dusk Darkening the shadows at its base Leading spirits through the maze of calibrated charnel grays The moonbeams illuminate the ways The brackish water in the pond frames the spider on the frond That slowly works its way into my dreams And then I see with clarity, so like angelic charity Yet somehow different in a way that I don't quite comprehend Cerebral solitary dreams of infinite planes serene Secluded hidden hollows sleep in secret hiding from the scene The world fades out as I tune in, then I know just where I've been And everything around me fades away. No longer bound inside my cage, now free to wander where I may Or wander to a state of mind that I have never had before Stumbling across the plain, I gaze into the lake of steam Lifting spirits from their resting place to live in my day dream So, returning to the land that I once entered to pretend To be more than I thought I could be until I learned to love again Standing on the edifice I x my gaze upon the land And cross the distance boldly as I go Dynasties will come and go, but know that I will always know That nothing is an everlasting dream And so the tale goes on and on, screaming on the wings of dawn And if it's long, I guess I can pretend One day I journeyed to the sea, and wandered by a cypress tree I found that silence was a worthy cause And walking on the evening waves, I saw her staring back at me I watched the tides calmly take the misty maiden out to sea I dreamed the same thing every night, dreams of mountains taking flight Dreams of lovers in disguise and dreams of spiders catching flies And as I go and nd the way, cicadas warble through the day And in the end I think I'll go and play Thirteen dreams within a mind, seven cycles intertwined And everything is just a state of mind Yeah, everything is just a state of mind.
