Lost the War 03:35
I've seen the fall of many men to their death call They strain to rally every sin all for just cause Go on say it we're not good enough We don't care to hear you I fought the war, and I could not give up I fought the war I'll shout at the top of my two lungs what we're to lose I'll spin and harness every judge dismiss their use I resolve to fight these feelings I cannot win, I cannot win I resolve to fight my feelings I cannot win, I cannot win But I will give anything to try Go on say it we're not good enough We don't care to hear you I fought the war, and I could not give up I fought the war I lost the war

Ex-lover 02:22
Ex-lover with them beautiful eyes why don't you see you're killing me with all the games you've been playin me I'm telling you my heart is on my red, bloody sleeve That you're using to wipe those fake tears from your cheeks you're tearing me apart Late night lover am i just here for your dark dirty deeds cause yous abusin me physically and mentally I want you You're a drug that cannot be easily weened you know i love it when i hear those three words as a scream you're tearing me apart I know what you are Stop telling me that I'm the one you want in your life Hey lover why don't you come on and fight for what you love and tell the story that you shoulda been tellin from the start come on and let me know Wait! Lover don't distract me with those damn pretty thighs There's nothing you can do to make me forgive you for those lies So go Lover get the hell outta this clear pilot's sight and find some other joke to put up with your perfect disguise.

truth be told I never want to know this world without you for without truth and love I'd starve and rest assured this flower won't die though winter comes I've gathered all the sun to survive keep close for I've got the antidote of hope and trust that I'll keep afloat our love and our chance to make the world ours you must believe...we shall believe truth be told I always want to show my best and give you all of everything I can my dear my heart will beat as long as you are near tomorrow holds the hand of all our luck tonight

This is the price i pay for giving you all that you wanted my love was the one aborted give me the truth i seek heard your lies its all deceit you've made your bed so lie upon it same one i still smell you on it Say love this time say love this my heart defines my state of mind if this is true if this is true please don't be did you forget faith and honor? course you did you cad you poser left me here so broken hearted a shell, a ghost, dearly departed Gotta find a real good reason something for me to believe in put me in a box it's safer let me out regret it later Say love this time say love this my heart defines my state of mind if this is true if this is true please don't be our love was one sided your war was not worth fighting i lost you in battle and now my scars are half-truth Say love this time say love this my heart defines my state of mind if this is true if this is true please don't be

Cassandra 02:28
Oh, I will promise you that I'll never feel more than I feel for you and I'll always be sure you're the one I live for...ever, evermore I will, will not fight my happiness is just illusion so please, please just go can't take no more I will not follow

Absolution 04:10
I’ll tell you good father of all of my sins A thousand hail marys I’ll be forgiven A solider of war, I trained for the kill But my wife and her love Yeah they fit the bill Hallelujah Hallelujah I’ll tell you again like I told you before I don’t care about nothing don’t matter no more Committed the crime but no time in the pen No hole or no cell could hold this crazed madman Hallelujah Hallelujah Any moment Devil’s comin My soul’s searchin For a sanctuary Faithful I was honest Future judgment Absolution I am saved I am saved Oh judge what’s the need for an apology You speak of some truth that I just do not see Somehow it’s a part of my dead wife’s last plea there’s no chance in hell you’ll get me on my knees Hallelujah Hallelujah Any moment Devil’s comin My soul’s searchin For a sanctuary Faithful I was honest Future judgment Absolution I am saved I am saved Bless me oh father I can’t put my interests aside For all that I do is controlled by the voices inside I’ve got my body, my soul, and my life but I don’t know about my poor mind I’ve jeopardized sanctity all for my enemy Why must I suffer through endless insanity? How can I tell if this is my reality? Trade my identity all for indemnity

The Sermon 04:01
For years we would wait to garner this dream
 with cause to believe no loss to our faith.
 We shall not allow our hope to run out.

 The bell rings before the clock strikes at ten
 two more to endure but love never ends.
 We shall not allow our hope to run out.

 Give the sermon we've all heard many times
 It fills our ears with sounds of joy
 Bless the man who speaks to our beating hearts
 He knows the time. We wait with him.
 Who's dealt us our fate? this crutch of belief
 this passion of need, this need to be saved We shall not allow our time to run out.
 Give the sermon we've all heard many times
 It fills our ears with sounds of joy
 Bless the man who speaks to our beating hearts
 He knows the time and we wait with him.
 give us...give us...give us...hope

 If we're to starve our normalcy, would you break bread for the dream?
 If we're to crave community, 
would you supply all we need

I want to kill the cancer that's taken you away from me I want to make it suffer and burn in hell in agony I want to scream in horror at this criminality I want to hate the world for taking what was once my belief Carry me forward please Carry me, if I fall I want to have the time back the life I took for granted with you I would not ever stumble for I could run every inch with you Carry me forward please Carry me, if I fall Carry me, carry me, carol if I don't choose to follow Carry me, carry me, carol if I refuse to follow Can you drag with me the will to see I'm not lost? And revive in me the path to lead life across? And revive in me the will to see I'm not lost?

I Suggest 05:07
I suggest we've met beneath the stars before with gleaming eyes which lit the night's wonder afire and though the stars did claim to light the sky… gently on high I'd argue our love could match their flame… nightly I request we trust our every move tonight I'll hold you and you'll hold me with love's red wine though the sun does bring a day so soon… gently 'fore noon I beckon the moon to stay with us… fully And it's okay if you're afraid… 'cause I'm afraid to fall awake I don't know anything else for sure, but I know that I've found what all look for I don't know anything else for sure, but I know you're the one who makes me sure
