I've seen the face of my affliction
Of my reality
I'm being tortured by the future
Of things that are yet to be
Of my reality
I'm being tortured by the future
Of things that are yet to be
I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
But i'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
So many times I've tried
But i'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I was born of the womb of a poisonous spell
Beaten and broken and chased from the land
But I rise up above it
High up above it and see
Beaten and broken and chased from the land
But I rise up above it
High up above it and see
I will carry hell to your doorstep
I will make you pay
You will reap the hate you've sown
On my judgement day
I will make you pay
You will reap the hate you've sown
On my judgement day
Tomorrow is another day
And you won’t have to hide away
You’ll be a man, boy
But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run
And you won’t have to hide away
You’ll be a man, boy
But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember
Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
For I have made their prison be
Their every step away from me
And this child I would destroy
If you tried to set them free
Their every step away from me
And this child I would destroy
If you tried to set them free
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
And it finds me
The fight inside is coursing through my veins
And it's raging
The fight inside is breaking me again
The fight inside is coursing through my veins
And it's raging
The fight inside is breaking me again
I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow
You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
You're talking loud, not saying much
You criticise but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up
But I can't hear a word you say
You're talking loud, not saying much
You criticise but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up
Tell me with affection in your voice
That you never really had a choice
Place on me the burden of the past
Offer me the future and take it back
That you never really had a choice
Place on me the burden of the past
Offer me the future and take it back
Is it over?
Did the last thread come undone?
'Cause I told you
I didn't wanna hurt no one
But the faces are all the same
Did the last thread come undone?
'Cause I told you
I didn't wanna hurt no one
But the faces are all the same
What the hell is wrong with me?
Why am I torturing myself?
Inhaling all these memories
Like a breath of fire sent from hell
Why am I torturing myself?
Inhaling all these memories
Like a breath of fire sent from hell
Who are you to tell me how
To keep myself afloat
I tread the water all the while
You stuck in the knife
That you held at my back
To keep myself afloat
I tread the water all the while
You stuck in the knife
That you held at my back
Vita detestabilis (hateful life)
nunc obdurat (first oppresses)
et tunc curat (and then soothes)
ludo mentis aciem, (as fancy takes it)
nunc obdurat (first oppresses)
et tunc curat (and then soothes)
