Seven years until the hex is broken
Seven years to endure the curse
And no magic words can be spoken
Potions and prayers will make it worse
The sadness comes with the setting sun
The war is won when the fight is done
Will you turn and run or can you stop right now?
You can start right now
Stop and start right now
Do it once just to answer the question
Know how it feels to be like them
But when the poison has left the system
You'll have your reasons to try again
The sickness comes like a rising sun
Now your war is done, what have you become?
Are you too far down to stop right now?
You can start right now
Stop and start right now
Let the spirits of the fallen guide you
With every step and measured breath
Far away from the pain inside you
And focus on what you have left
When the sadness has won, then the madness comes
Thy kingdom come, thy will be undone
You can still turn around if you just stop right now
Can you stop right now?
Stop and start right now
Stop and start right now
Stop and start right now
Stop and start right now

Long lost, all but forgotten
My dearest departed, oh, where have you gone?
I searched through the heavens and down in the underworld
The circle is broken, you've been away for so long
And one too many things have gone wrong
Rise! Rise! The dawn of creation
Lucifer, Lucifer, what have you done?
Fall! Fall! Last chance for salvation
End of all nations, the darkest of ages has come
From one too many ways to go wrong
One, two, three times, we're ruined
Dantalion won't even dare make a sound
Look to the north as we descend south
And watch heaven from hell as it burns to the ground
Rise! Rise! Up from the ashes and come back to your loved ones
We miss you so much right now
It's been one too many times to go on

Don't tell a soul, you're the only one I'd ever tell
Give me your word, if you break it, I'll see you in hell
I don't want to explain all my sadness and pain to family and people I love
I'll tell you my side even though it reminds me how awful it all really was
I feel more alone than when I'm alone
I paid my respects to a close friend I lost yesterday
I've learned to accept that there's nothing that anyone could say
It hurts me to think about what could've been and everything that won't ever be
We gave him tough love but it wasn't enough to fight back against his disease
He died all alone but he was never alone
In this day and age, rage has become all the rage
And we choose to behave like wolves left to starve in a cage
We keep going in circles around and around, spinning faster and faster and faster
We come round in the end and start back down again, looking forward to another disaster
We're all alone
We're all so alone
I feel more alone than when I'm alone

So Far for So Few

I've tried everything to reach you
I don't know what else to do
I'll try you again
And again
Until you listen to me
If you face a new direction
Maybe then you'd understand
Can you hear me now?
How about now?
You're still cutting out on me
Are you still there?
Tell me when you get the message
Make it through the dead of winter
To where we cross near Buffalo
So far for so few
All we can do
Is send our love to
You and yours and his and hers
And ours and there's and they and them
Does anybody hear?
I'm still here
Right back where I've always been
Are you still there?
Tell me when you get the message
Are you still there?
Tell me when you get the message

All of the good in me is in pain
I try not to think about it
Falling hard like pouring rain
When there's lightning, it's time to quit
Nothing changes and nothing lasts
I’m tired of trying to forgive
Turn over the empty hourglass
And hope to forget what was said
When I search for answers
Questions are all I find
I wish I knew what I needed to do this time
I still have so much to learn
Because of the lessons I missed
I appreciate all of your concern
But I burned down every bridge
It’s too late to turn around
No need to reflect on the past
Nothing I can say will slow it down
So If you don't want to know. don't ask
When I search for answers
Questions are all I find
I wish I knew what I needed to do this time
When I search for answers
Questions are all I find
I wish I knew what I needed to do this time

Close your eyes
Picture yourself all alone
Safe inside your head
When you hear me count down from three
you won't remember what I said
You'll wake up to find you just don't care
Like I was never even there
Then you can do what you want
It doesn't matter
And I'm not hurting anyone at all
Hear the sound of your broken heart
As you drift away
Let yourself forget the dreams we had
Right before you wake
You won't know about the things I've done
You won't see what I become
And what you don't know
Can't hurt you anymore
Hear the sound of my voice counting down
From three to one
Open your eyes
And look at how it is instead of how it was
Sometimes we see things how we want them to be
But some things can never come clean
And something's can never be unseen
I can do what I want
No one's watching me
I can say what I want
No one's listening to me
I can be myself
I'm not hurting anyone at all

You Should Be Worried

I'm not worried about you
I'm not worried about you
I'm not worried about you
But you should be worried about me
You should be worried about me

Better Yet
02:58

It's not for me to say
And we all have our reasons
But there's no reason anymore
I wish I didn't care
I wish none of it mattered
I'm no better than you
But you're better than that
My thoughts are with you
And I only want to help you
There's no use in thinking
I can help you anymore
I wish I didn't care
I wish none of it mattered
I'm no better than you
And you know better than that
To each their own opinion
I know we all have our demons
And right or wrong
There is no answer anymore
I wish I didn't care
I wish none of it mattered
You're no better than me
And you're better than that
Are you better yet?

Please, god, let me be wrong this time
Is a better home awaiting, lord in the sky?
I wait for a sign and I pray for the stars to align
But i'll never know nothing ‘til it's cut and dry
Please don't make me take an eye for an eye
I don't see how I could ever see why
Wait ‘til the rain comes down and when the water’s on the rise
Nothing's any better when we're left up high and dry
Love thy neighbour and family and friends
The power and the glory,forever and ever, amen.
Wait ‘til the world's caught fire, then try to pretend
All our sins are forgiven in the end
It might take five, we could even make ten
By and by, it'll all be cut and dry again

Burn it down
Fan the flames ‘til nothing's standing
There's no way out
Save yourself while you still can
Go right now!
Run for your life and don't look back
And if you can't get away
No one will help you now
Coming down
When I'm not high then I'm just
Waiting it out
Until I can lift myself back up
Off the ground
Right Back to where I started from
And if I can't walk away, no one will help me now
Get out and get away from here
Don't let it get into you
You're gonna be alright
And It'll be over soon
Don't let it get to you
There's nothing left here to lose
It'll swallow you
But if we just walk away, nothing will stop us now
Cut it down
Before it grows up any stronger
Tear it out
Don't let it spread for too much longer
It's too late now
To waste another day again
And if we can't find a way, nothing will help us now
If you can't walk away, no one'll help you now
And if I can't walk away, no one can help me now
But if we just walk away, nothing can stop us now
