1. Nightmare Movement Play Download
Nightmare Movement
I take a look all around me
My eyes wander up to the sky
And I see a world far below me
The reflection of life in my eye
Yeah

The spectrum of light glowing softly
For those who lack sight only feel
My loved ones collapse in a frenzy
Proving my terror is real

And it scares me
It scares me

My brother is broken and bloody
My father lies cold on the floor
My sister is laughing insanely
My mother screams out "Please no more"

And it scares me
It scares me
Scares me

By the water that eve
The sun that shines on me and you
And I'm eager to please
For the faces we both knew
All these trials and these troubles we've been through

By the power of what we knew
In stormy days and nights all alone
And from my point of view
You never felt so like home
All these trials and these troubles we've come to know

1. Born Again Play
Born Again
I watched my friend's life slip away
Just the other day
I held on his hand as he screamed out in pain
He looked at me and said
"Some things must be this way"
So I got on my knees and I started to pray

I took another man's life
Just the other day
I was on a mission and that man got in my way
I know that I will see so many better days
But for him I cannot say the same

You ask me if I've ever killed a man
I tell you "Yes, and I'll probably kill again
Because I'm born again"

Go my brother, be in peace
Leave the spoils of war at your feet

2. Winter Play
Winter
Go to sleep, my beautiful child
Let your dreams distract you from the world
While the winter makes white the ground beneath you
A bigger plot unfurls
Dream of peace, my beautiful girl
My lullaby reminds you of the days when things were pure
And rivers flowed the greener ground
And life could be endured

Sleep, sweet angel
Above this all transcend
I'll be sure to wake you
When the world comes to an end

Stay asleep, my little one
Ignore the hell that plagues the world outside
Soon enough this will all cease to hurt
And I'll be by your side

Sleep, sweet angel
Above this all transcend
I'll be sure to wake you
When the world comes to an end

1. ACS (Dog of War) Play
ACS (Dog of War)
I saw it coming and only time could tell
I made the perfect home couldn't more far from hell
If it were up to me you'd see pure white for eternity
But opposition spread like a virus and destroyed everything I love

I'm gonna bring it down
I'm gonna bring it
I'm gonna bring it down
I'm gonna bring it down

I watched it killing
Could see it spilling pain on children of our families
Our minds are choking
This black death raping all the women of supremecy

I'm gonna bring it down
I'm gonna bring it down
I'm gonna bring it
Down
I'm gonna bring it down

We will preserve what's right and to the death we'll fight
Cause on the right hand of God we stand united as the Dogs of War

See it saturate the people with its concentrated evil
Funny how they bleed for a dime
But this curse it never works it feeds on child and wife
Death never cycles life

Bring it, bring it, bring it down
I'm gonna bring it, bring it, bring it down
I'm gonna bring it, bring it, bring it down
I'm gonna bring it, bring it, bring it down

2. The Untold Story Play
The Untold Story
Now this is a story all too appalling
About our brothers in arms who have fallen
Their story is laden with controversy
And this is the side that nobody wants you to see

To give us a good life, these warriors they put up a fight
They risk and they take life while you sleep at night
But they have no illusions of coming home to a parade
No their only hope is that none of them died there in vain

Run and hide then you criticize
Turn your back and walk away
Forget how they lived and exploit how they died
That's the price when you play in this game

But I'm not gonna say that you're not thankful for all the blood that we shed for you
Yeah, for you


Run and hide then you criticize
Turn your back and walk away
Forget how they lived and exploit how they died
That's the price when you play in this game
Run and hide
Then you criticize
Turn your back and walk away
That's the price when you play in this game
Turn your back and walk away
Turn your back and walk away
Turn your back and walk away
That's the price when you play in this game

3. Sleeping Mind Play
Sleeping Mind
Sleeping Mind

I waited and watched as you fell asleep
The taste of your skin still alive on my tongue
I saw in yourt face a timeless expression
Of life and of love and of all things undone
And I said

Your sleeping mind
Your Sleeping mind

Then I fell asleep as I cradled your body
Your warmth slowly spreading our breathing in rhythm
Then I drifted away to the back of my mind
Where my thoughts wandered aimless in juxtaposition
And I said

Your sleeping mind
Your sleeping mind

Everything is safe and ok when I'm with you
Everything is safe and ok when I'm with you

When suddenly walls started falling apart and I lost you amidst all the chaos
So I tried to awake from that terrible dream but fell into a fit that I could not recover from
I'm lost in my nightmare
So very lost

I'm with you forever
I'll love you forever

Your sleeping mind
Your sleeping mind
Your sleeping mind
Your sleeping mind

4. Inanimate Objects Play
Inanimate Objects
She is the love that scorns
She is my crown of thorns
And I am not a man
A puppet in her hand

It's sadomasochistic how she runs my life on strings
She's a marionette with an all-star cast of inanimate things
It's sadomasochistic how she runs my life on strings
She's a marionette with an all-star cast of inanimate things

I will not let her in
She will surely win

It's sadomasochistic how she runs my life on strings
She's a marionette with an all-star cast of inanimate things
It's sadomasochistic how she runs my life on strings
She's a marionette with an all-star cast of inanimate things

She is the love that scorns
She is my crown of thorns

Broken Down & Dead
Hey, you're mine now

I came into this world with fire my hand
I fed the demon child which made me understand
Said to me feel the burn, my cankered mind to speak
My broken promise bleed, it will all add to your greed
Said to me feel the burn, my cankered mind to speak
My broken promise bleed, it will all add to your greed

But it's all in your own head
I'm feelin' broken down
Feeling broken down and dead

Hey, you're mine now

She came into this world, her broken heart in hand
She fed the inner saint, which made her understand
Said to him feel my fire, my spiritual light you seek
Intense and overdrawn, it will all add to your greed
Said to him feel my fire, my spiritual light you seek
Intense and overdrawn, it will all add to your greed

But it's all in your own head
I'm feelin' broken down
Feeling broken down and dead

Hey, you're mine now
Feelin' broken down and dead

6. Shout Some Loud Play
Shout Some Loud
Shout some loud

I can't explain the fury that I feel when I meet them
Dead beneath the weight of their war
And what's really messed up is I can do nothing for them
So I clean their blood, I clean their blood up off of the floor
And I shout some loud

And everytime I hear those passages spoken
In a room full of sorrow and tears
I've got a million words in my mind that I choke on
Cause futile are my words upon their ignorant ears
I shout some loud

Shout some loud

Every night in bed as I try to evade them
Their faces always ask me to try
To look beyond the death and the hate and the mayhem
And try to keep the damage that I feel on the inside
So I shout some loud

Shout some loud

Inanimate Objects (Original Version)
All you know has changed
Lying lifeless on the floor
All you thought could never happen
Now death is at the door
Picking up the pieces
Settling the score
You could have showed her what you offered
Now she'll question you no more

She is the love that scorns
She is my crown of thorns

It's sadomasochistic how she runs my life on strings
She's a marionette with an all-star cast of inanimate things
It's sadomasochistic how she runs my life on strings
She's a marionette with an all-star cast of inanimate things

It's sadomasochistic how she runs my life on strings
She's a marionette with an all-star cast of inanimate things
It's sadomasochistic how she runs my life on strings

A Reminder
If you were to tell me with tears in your eyes
The world had stopped turning, the sun will never rise
If you were to show me the heavens were gone
That we lived for nothing, no hope for beyond
I'd look at you gently and comfort your fear
And tell you I love you, and I'd show you I'm right here

Cause it'll be all right
I'm here by your side
In you I have faith
In me you confide
All right

I need you girl to carry on
When all is lost, have faith be strong
You need to grow and live and breathe
And be the girl, you always dreamed you'd be

Cause it'll be all right
I'm here by your side
In you I have faith
In me you confide
All right

Don't let me go
I won't let you go
Don't let me go
I won't let you go
