Creed - My Own Prison
Torn
Peace is what they tell me.
Love, am I unholy?
Lies are what they tell me.
Despise, you that control me.
The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reasons for
My intentions, poor. Yes, I'm the one
Who, the only one who, would carry on
This far.
Torn, I'm filthy.
Born in my own misery
Stole all that you gave me
Control, you claim you saved me.
The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reasons for
My intentions, poor. Yes, I'm the one
Who, the only one who, would carry on
This far.
Peace, in my head.
Love, in my head.
Lie, Lie, Lie, Lies in my head.
The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reasons for
My intentions, poor. Yes, I'm the one
Who, the only one who, would carry on
This far.
Ode
Hang me and watch awhile
Let me see you smile
While I die
Take me as my body burns
Let me see you yearn
While I die
One step on your own
And you walk all over me
One head in the clouds
You won't let go
You're too proud
One light to the blind
And they see
One touch on the head
We believe
Adore me as I drift away
Let me hear you say
I'm fine
You'll cry, as my body dies
All that you despise
Is done away
One step on your own
And you walk all over me
One head in the clouds
You won't let go
You're too proud
One light to the blind
And they see
One touch on the head
We believe
One step on your own
And you walk all over me
One head in the clouds
You won't let go
You're too proud
One light to the blind
And they see
One touch on the head
We believe
My Own Prison
A court is in session
A verdict is in
No appeal on the docket today
Just my own sin.
The walls cold and pale
The cage made of steel
Silence now the sound
My breath the only motion around
Daemons cluddering around,
My face showing no emotion
Shackled by my sentence
Expecting no return
Here there is no penance,
My skin begins to burn
And I said Oh....
So I held my head up high,
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride.
And I said Oh....
We're all held captive out from the sun,
A sun that shines on only some,
We the meek are all in one.
A hear a thunder in the distance,
See a vision of the cross
I feel a pain that was given on
A sad day of loss.
A lion roars in the darkness,
Only he holds the key.
A light to free me from my burden
And grant me life eternally.
Should have been dead on a sunday morning
Banging my head.
No time for mourning, I ain't got no time.
Should have been dead on a sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning, I ain't got no time.
And I said Oh....
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride.
And I said oh....
We're all held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only sum,
We the meek are all in one.
I cry out to God seeking only his
Decision.
Garbriel stands and confirms,
"I CREATED MY OWN PRISON"
I cry out to God seeking only his
Decision
Gabriel stand and confirms,
"I CREATED MY OWN PRISON"
And I said Oh....
So I held my head up high
Diding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride.
And I said Oh....
We're all held captive out from the sun,
The sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
And I said Oh....
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside,
Which only fuels their selfish pride.
(I created) we're all held captive
(I created) out from the sun
(I created) a sun that shines
(I created) on only some
(I created MY OWN PRISON) We the meek are all in one
Should have been dead on a Sunday morning
Banging my head,
No time for mourning..I ain't got no time.
Pity for a dime
An Artificial season
Covered by a summer rain
Losing all my reason
Cause there's nothing left to blame
Shadows paint the sidewalks,
A living picture in a frame
See the sea of people
Their faces never look the same
(All their faces look the same)
So i sat down for a while
Forcing a smile
In a state of self-denial
Is it worthwhile?
Sell my pity for a dime, just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime, just one dime
Plain talk, can be the easy way
Signs of losing my faith, losing my faith
Plain talk, can be the easy way
Signs of losing my faith, losing my faith
So i sat down for a while
Forcing a smile
In a state of self-denial
Is it worthwhile?
Sell my pity for a dime, just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime, just one dime
In America
Only in America, we're slaves to be free
Only in America, we kill the unborn to make ends meet
Only in America, sexuality is democracy
Only in America, We stamp our God "In GOd we trust"
What is right or wrong?
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song, In America
Church bells ringing, pass the plate around,
The choir is singing as their leader falls to the ground
Please mr. prophet man, tell me which way to go
I gave my last dollar, can i still come to your show?
What is right or wrong?
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song, In America.
What is right or wrong?
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song, In America.
Illusion
The sun rises to another day
My constitution keeps changing,
Til it slips away
So I lie awake and stare
My mind thinking just wondering
Does anybody care?
Should I stay, or go?
Should I sleep or stay awake?
Am I really happy or is it all
Just an illusion
Sitting in my room now
Having thoughts just hoping
One day i'll get out
I hear a voice call my name
Breaking trance so silent
So I can stay the same
Should I stay, or go?
Should I sleep or stay awake?
Am I really happy or is it all
Just an illusion
Wait now many things are left unsaid
This life remains the same, but i changed
I try to fool myself into believing
Things are gonna get better,
But life goes on
Should I stay, or go?
Should I sleep or stay awake?
Am I really happy or is it all
Just an illusion
Unforgiven
I kept up with the prophicies you spoke
I kept up with the message inside
Lost sight of the ironies of twisted faith (fate)
Lost sight of my soul and its' void
Think I, think I'm unforgiven to this world
Think I, think I'm unforgiven to this world, yeah
Took a chance at decieving myself
To share in the consequence of lies
Childish with my reasoning and pride,
Godless to the extent that i died.
Think I, think I'm unforgiven to this world
Think I, think I'm unforgiven to this world
Think I'm unforgiven yeah
No more raging innocence
No more raging innocence
No more raging innocence
No more raging innocence
Step inside the light and see
the fear of God burn inside of me
The goal was put to flame to burn to kill
To mold its purity
Think I, think I'm unforgiven to this world
Think I, think I'm unforgiven to this world
think I'm unforgiven...
Sister
Caught up in the middle, had no choice
Had no choice
Birthright forgotten
So silent no voice
I see you, you know who
Little sister, little sister
Now realize little sister
Overlooked little girl
Now realize little sister
Overlooked little girl
Bottled up and empty holding back
At loss you're forgotten get back
Getting back, get back
Bottled up and empty holding back
At loss you're forgotten get back
Getting back, get back
Expectations of another
Love is given to the younger
Broken Father, broken Brother
Emptiness feeds the hunger
I see you, you know who
Little sister, little sister
Now realize little sister
Overlooked little girl
Now realize little sister
Overlooked little girl
Bottled up and empty holding back
At loss you're forgotten, get back, get back
Bottled up and empty holding back
At loss you're forgotten, get back, get back
Now realize little sister
Overlooked little girl
No direction, little sister
Overlooked little girl
Change, change, change
Bottled up an empty holding back
What's this life for?
Hooray for the child that makes it through
If there's anyway because
The answer lies in you
They're laid to rest before
They've known just what to do
Their souls are lost, because
They could never find
What's this life for?
What's this life for?
What's this life for?
What's this life for?
I see your soul, it's kind of gray
You see my heart, you look away
You see my wrist? I know your pain
I see your purpose on your plate
Dont say a last prayer because
They could never find...
What's this life for?
What's this life for?
What's this life for?
What's this life for?
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
Cause we all live under the reign
Of one king
But they ain't here anymore
Dont have to settle no GodDamned score
Cause we all live under the reign
Of one king, one king, one king
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no GodDamned score
Cause we all live under the reign
Of one king, one king, one king
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no GodDamned score
Cause we all live under the reign
Of...one...king....
One
Affirmative may be justified
Take from one and give to another
The goal is to be unified
Take my hand, be my brother
The payments silenced on my sins
Sanctified by oppression
Unity took a backseat sliding further
Into regression
One, oh One
The only way is one
One, oh One
The only way is one
I feel angry i feel helpless
Want to change the world yeah
I feel violent i feel alone
Dont try to change my mind no
Society blind by color,
Why hold down one, to raise antoher
Discrimination now on both sides,
Seeds of hate blossom further
The world is headed for mutiny,
When all we want is unity
We may rise and fall, but in the end
We'll meet our fate (fatih) together
One, oh One
The only way is one
One, oh One
The only way is one
I feel angry I feel helpless
Want to change the world yeah
I feel violent I feel alone
Dont try to change my mind no
I feel angry I feel helpless
Want to change the world yeah
i feel violent I feel alone
Dont try to change my mind no
I FEEL ANGRY, I FEEL HELPLESS
Want to change the world yeah
I FEEL VIOLENT, I FEEL ALONE
Dont try to change my mind, no
