Dwell in Darkness
Stone like walls don’t make the prison.
It’s the bars of fear you taste.
Your cold eyes reflect your decision.
Our love has been long erased.
You hide from yourself.
You dwell in darkness.
I can still see you cry.
Don’t turn away from me,
I can help you try.
If you’re living by the dark night,
You can’t see what it is you fear.
Be aware where there is no more night,
Your dark danger is always near.
You must hold on to the truth.
Your fear can sometimes protect you.
You don’t have to provide me with proof,
What counts is what you do.
Silenced (Arturo & Caterina)
Here we are just as we said we would be.
No one would believe
we'd float back to then.
Or what it would take
to be eternally free.
Now it's time to raise
the tides again.
In silenced waters you
were mine.
No more games or
restraints.
No fainter echo of love
begrudging time.
Our call will never go
faint.
You are mine, until the
end of time,
the time, so strong
over time.
We are like ghosts,
gliding together.
One with the shadows
inside burning fire following forever.
One made without the
other would leave us freezing.
We are at the bottom of
forever.
Sometimes, there's
something I want, for the best of you.
I want you to be in
another place.
Alive and glowing not
hidden underneath these icy waters.
But I selfishly need
your face.
I sit and wonder why I’m unhappy,
What have I been doing with my life?
Why didn’t I listen to the men, who taught peace?
It’s all that helps you in this life.
But no one listens
To a peacemaker
There all shut down, in cold blood
Or nailed to a cross and made to suffer
We all resist something new,
We all deny what is true.
I sit and wonder why
Everyone is fighting
What has really been done?
To make amends?
Everyone stands and blows the whistle
Is faithfully listen to
But soon the protest ends
Who will listen?
To the peacemaker?
Assassinations
They were all shot
down
Why do we turn strong men into victims?
Society won’t fight their rage
Because those some of those men
Rattled the cage
I stop and ask the world
Why am I crying?
Isn’t the answer plain to see?
I see that while you’ve all been fighting
You’ve forgotten that they spoke to us of harmony.
No one listened to the man of peace,
Assassination is easier than a change
We turn the strong into victims
Society is to blame
And all the men who rattled the cage.
Story Of Our Lives
How did we get so confused?
Our lives are a box, all closed up and locked.
We can't get out.
We claw at the walls
Try to fight off our madness
But we can't get out.
How can we ever reach our dreams?
When all we do when we sleep is have nightmares
How can we live out our promises to ourselves?
When we've forgotten what we set out to be.
How do we get out of here?
We can never see,
To dam clearly.
Why we are filled with doubt.
We scream and we cry,
Because we don't know why
Who we're supposed to be!
This is our last shrouded dream.
We still can't figure out why,
Why we try and try,
But there are no answers here.
We've got save ourselves
By our strength and stealth,
We'll fight out and face our fears!
