Something got out We opened up the doorway to end Something got out (and now) We wander through the darkness that we made Something got out All the world turned red and grey, there's nothing left Something got out The lights are going down, all hope is gone Something got out The circle opens on the end Darkness manifests We hear the chimes from the other side They don't relent Was is arrogance, or ignorance That drove us mad We peered behind the door And now it's all gone black We saw the nothingness That swallowed all our screams And choked on suffering We earned for all our sins Our prayers for the light Were answered with nightmares We cracked open the door Something got out We opened up the doorway to end Something got out (and now) We wander through the darkness that we made Something got out All the world turned red and grey, there's nothing left Something got out The lights are going down, all hope is gone Something got out Oozing from the blackness of The spaces in between A monster we did not create A truth we can't believe Indifferent to our feeble cries Our hopeless requiem It has come through the door Something got out We opened up the doorway to end Something got out (and now) We wander through the darkness that we made Something got out All the world turned red and grey, there's nothing left Something got out The lights are going down, all hope is gone Something got out RIP TEAR Something got out We opened up the doorway to end Something got out (and now) We wander through the darkness that we made Something got out All the world turned red and grey, there's nothing left Something got out The lights are going down, all hope is gone Something got out SOMETHING GOT OUT

Hidden in shadows Faceless and vulpine Lurking, unmoving Idol of entropy Destruction in the dark Violence infects your dreams Hold on to something Hold out for reprieve Breathe in and breathe out Waiting in torment Howling a desperate plea, "Won't somebody please save me?" While you slept You had it all You didn't even know While you were So far away You couldn't feel the pain In your dreams it comes alive Break down in terror Succumb to madness Spiral, spiral Sleep through the burning Dreams can't save you now While you slept You had it all You didn't even know While you were So far away You couldn't feel the pain In your dreams it comes alive

Wake up Ashen skies Lost time Lost time What is done, is done, is done Burning air New scars Dead eyes Strange stars Called to flame, dark new day Endless Hunger I can't Remember Something... happened... Something... Happened... Broken Pieces Fragments Freezing Scrape the inside, tear out my eyes Hellish Haunting What have I done Something... happened... Something... Happened... Blood all over Wide eyes slumber The heart must wander Pull me under Walking nightmares Living despair Where was I When I was gone Something... Happened...

Outside a hush has fallen Cursing this silent land So still and nothing moving In husks of homes abandoned The dust returns to dust Returns to dust Returns Crumbling bones and empty streets Fossils of arrogance Feel just the sting of rising smoke Detritus of resistance No love was left behind No hope was left to find No love was left behind No hope was left (Not even ghosts) Not even ghosts (Not even ghosts) Will haunt this place (Not even ghosts) Not even ghosts (Not even ghosts) Will linger here (Not even ghosts) Not even ghosts (Not even ghosts) Survive the end (Not even ghosts) Not even ghosts (Not even ghosts) You'll find no aid or succor here No brash gunslinger's scream No mourners to remember This vigil of unmaking Our bodies rot away The dying light will fade All progress we have made Nothing will remain (Not even ghosts) Not even ghosts (Not even ghosts) Will haunt this place (Not even ghosts) Not even ghosts (Not even ghosts) Will linger here (Not even ghosts) Not even ghosts (Not even ghosts) Survive the end (Not even ghosts) Not even ghosts (Not even ghosts)

Wandering Until the end of time Toiling in the wastes In search of holy light Desolate This ocean of dust Behind the wall of flame Where nothing ever grows An endless search To see before the end If the water still flows Are we holding on to hope And ask one draught Of long forgotten sights One taste of old times Was a dead man's lies Watching repeat Vicious memories A hopeless filth That we can't wash clean Naked, adrift A ship lost at sea Laid out before This bleak mockery No signs of life No sanguine sounds Only echoes and dust In these blasted lands Stalking this trail Where destruction led We see the truth Blackened is the end On I wait My whole lifetime Searching in The falling sky Somewhere out there We may find Another chance Another time I am not What I am Or what I was What has been Somewhere in These barren miles I'll find myself I'll find myself Shadows rise And blot out the stars This inhuman place Makes human monsters Our lords of decline Will at last decay These foolish delights We have lost our way On I wait My whole lifetime Searching in The falling sky Somewhere out there We may find Another chance Another time I am not What I am Or what I was What has been Somewhere in These barren miles I'll find myself I'll find myself

Madness has fueled this hunger They've clawed back to life All the graves are freshly vacant They shamble in the moonless night Their corpses, black and bloated Ignorant to their demise They stare, harsh and soulless With unforgiving eyes They should have stayed buried The dead rise up from the Earth The same faces all returning Sometimes, dead is better The sleepers have awoken A broken covenant Servile to hidden masters A flood of revenants Unsatisfyingly devour Prophets of the unmade The end will not be painless The living can't be saved They should have stayed buried The dead rise up from the Earth The same faces all returning Sometimes, dead is better Some long forgotten meaning Some feeling you can't shake Their purpose here is judgment They are a debt repaid They should have stayed buried The dead rise up from the Earth The same faces all returning Sometimes, dead is better

Dawn breaks Enlightening Everything repeats Crawl inside Come back to life Succumb to destiny Revive the signs See through new eyes Words you cannot speak Penitent A new repent Blind me Plunge in deep Take my life away Recede Return to me The light the sun betrays Leaf and stone And broken bones The lies you want to hear The familiar lulls The rituals I see it all so clear Waiting Desperately Find me in a dream Time remains On borrowed faith Do the roses ever sing? An empty room A mind consumed The hardest face to read Breaking through Accept the truth Blind me Plunge in deep Take my life away Recede Return to me The light the sun betrays Leaf and stone And broken bones The lies you want to hear The familiar lulls The rituals I see it all so clear

Paralyzed Petrified Cold fear with no release Nightmares that never cease Pulled behind The walls of time What does your demon see In seething mockery Drowned in cold sweat Frozen solid You better pray You scream yourself awake Helplessly Your body runs in place Trapped in dreams That are filled with hate It isn't safe Scream yourself awake Bloodshot eyes Won't open wide You've seen the Yellow Sign You can't escape your mind Terrified Of what the darkness hides Monsters lurk below Things you could never know End the visions Shock the system You better pray You scream yourself awake Helplessly Your body runs in place Trapped in dreams That are filled with hate It isn't safe Scream yourself awake

At the end of a crumbling road Battered feet are running home Tasting blood and taking sides Letting go to see the light Locked in false reality Addicted to the spiraling Warmed by the familiar daze Ignited blaze, burning embrace Break free From the need Coming back to life Turn the key Awakening What's on the other side A shattered core A timeless war Sins all laid bare Praying for An unfound door To open somewhere The illusions start to fall away Images we can't explain We know the truth, it's deep inside Corrupted by a broken mind Remembering the promises The jagged shards no longer fit The stand will come before the wind The wheel spins around again Break free From the need Coming back to life Turn the key Awakening What's on the other side A shattered core A timeless war Sins all laid bare Praying for An unfound door To open somewhere [My first thought was, he lied in every word, That hoary cripple, with malicious eye Askance to watch the working of his lie On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford Suppression of the glee, that pursed and scored Its edge, at one more victim gained thereby. What else should he be set for, with his staff? What, save to waylay with his lies, ensnare All travellers who might find him posted there, And ask the road? I guessed what skull-like laugh Would break, what crutch 'gin write my epitaph For pastime in the dusty thoroughfare] Beyond the path, I can see the end But will never know what it meant One moment knelled the woe of years I have come, I am here Break free From the need Coming back to life Turn the key Awakening What's on the other side A shattered core A timeless war Sins all laid bare Praying for An unfound door To open somewhere
