There came a time when I could no longer feel
Numb to everything
There's no person in this place
Who could ever heal this race
But now I hear a voice
Calling to me
Beckoning
And I cannot turn away
You will always be that which you fear inside yourself
That emptiness
You will always feel the pain of the void within your soul
You'll only ever fill
With me
All these buildings
Heaving all around me
All the misery
And creatures
Spreading their excess and disease
I can feel it creeping into my waking thought
Embodying something deep within
And it won't go away (no)
But what is left for me
For this half empty shell
Tell me, anything I've ever felt
Was it ever real
Or should I trust this dream
Oh! You felt it there all the time
From the very day you were born
Destined to return
To the strength you once knew
So forsake it all
Rise, and we will be one
You will always be that which you fear inside yourself
That emptiness
You will always feel the pain of the void within your soul
You'll only ever fill
With me

Siren's Sea

On my way, there's no turning back now
Cause I know that something must lay beyond
Energy draws me to the source of this mystery
And now nothing can quell the fire in my heart
That voice, it calls to me;
Whispered, seductively: FLY!
It's a way out of this world
An answer to it all
Take me to the siren sea that I dream of
In this light so blinding yet free from pain
Ride my machine to the edge of the ocean
Carried across by towering waves of white
To beckoning cliffs whose blackness stands above me
And I know the dark is lurking beneath this land
We were so much stronger than this...
You must now feel it too
Now it comes so near to your grasp
I see your desire for it once more
Deep beneath the earth
I search for that once mine
Locked within the ancient stone
Magnetic energy, awaken
I will sleep no more
I see the freeing of my mind
As I fly through this beating fire
So far away
Take me to the siren sea that I dream of
In this light so blinding yet free from pain
(oh, won't you)
Take me to the siren sea that I dream of
In this light so blinding yet free from pain
(oh, but there's pain)
(oh, but there's pain)
(oh, but there's) PAIN...

Gaze around this place of fire
Struggle to stand and I choke on the black air
My dreams lay shattered, burning beneath
The stars have all left me to die
Don't know where to channel this
Fear and pain and energy
So I delve into the nothingness
Cause the nothing is all that I have left
So it was all a lie?
You tell me, my world is no more?
How could I have ever fallen for you
A face like a snake, a tongue that's never true
Don't know where to channel this
Fear and pain and energy
So I delve into the nothingness
Cause the nothing is all that I have left
Down into this white fire I go
Deep into the heart of this sickly star
To find out what is real
I have to know
Where are we going, when will it end?
Why have you done this to me?
Taken all I had away
I HAVE AWAKENED YOU UNTO TRUTH
Gone
Is the fear
Is the pain
Is the lie
Gone
Is the fear
Is the pain
Is the lie

Over my minds eye
When you were in my arms
I felt as though I held
The very last breath of my humanity
I'm dreaming once again
Of the blue burning sun
Washing over me
With its strange light
I feel it on my skin
And it seems
This must be real
A shallow sea and a pale sky
Finds the centre of me
And she knows
The siren on the stone
Tempting me aground
To my end
I've seen through the illusion
The power's left me now
I'm all alone
Searching for why
But we remain; the race, the eternal fool
And as my fate draws near
I wonder if I'll ever understand
I close my eyes
But death will not be the end
I turn away
From my broken world
Accepting the obsidian
Into me
This soul, once split, now conjoined
Light and dark now fused within the void
