Bewildering Thoughts Of all these things that have happened to me I see them as in vain For the reason will bewilder me Thou, the memory Of all these things that are happening to me I see them as strange For, if love is the reason, then so is pain So is pain The reason of this earthly existence is a mystery to me, to which I bow my head For, if love is the reason, then so is pain So is pain 2. Dare Restrain All I hoped for, my dreams Defy, my will, struggling to achieve I will, I will, Reach Shattered by setback Falling down, facing up Await the moment The thread spun out I will, I will, Seize All I craved for, my dreams Dare restrain me, wait and see 'cause I will, I will, Succeed 3. Solitude (Craving For Rest) I don't want to think Just want to be alone My life, revolving, Raging on I don't want to see The ones who care for me My mind, somewhere, I wish to be I don't want to care Afraid to lose my dream My mind, in lust, Just let me be! I don't want to live Just want to be gone My life, fading, Into infinity Darkness Searching for the light The dream It's just too bright Now, burnt and blind Even darkness, I have lost Solitude, my friend The decision is mine Leave me now It is my time 4. Autumn Once filled with sorrow, wondering, Only now can I conceive Descending down onto the earth, The act is done I am the leaf, falling from the tree Colours have faded, wind chills me Sadness, I am weeping Now, the storm brings tears The earth is crying, For this is the season of dying Takes me away, Leaves me The earth is crying, For this is the season of, Dying 5. Fin De Siecle Faith, religion, leader, chaos, Fear As in future, as in past Will this darkness come to last? Hear the voices cry for hope The ideas for the new era Call for leader, loss of faith The desire for a generation pure Call for leader, loss of faith The desire of a generation lost Decadence in religion Leader through chaos Faith, Desire, Confusion, War Afraid of the future, desire for past Will these fears ever come to last? See the people act in decadence Pride will have a fall War, faith, religion and chaos The third one is yet to come 6. Silence My friends, don't weep for me As I explore new lands I write this final chapter with grief and laughter This book, my story All things come to an end This book, my story Silence, as I descend My friends, don't cry for me For I have lived This life, wanting to be free In your memories I'll always be This book, my story All things come to an end This book, my story Silence, as I descend 7. Farewell Strange way it goes Unable, to change Hurt, hurt is the bare truth My life outliving yours Reminder of time Your life too short Despair, the bare truth Your life before mine Strange way it must go Your life too short Holding and keeping Forever to be Holding and keeping Stay with me Strange way it is gone Unable, to believe Hurt, hurt is the bare truth My life outliving yours Reminder of time Your life too short Despair, the bare truth Your life before mine Strange way it must go Your life too short Holding and keeping Forever to be Holding and keeping Stay with me 8. Willfull Will I ever be, who you want me to be Will I ever want, what you want me to want Am I going to ever be like you Why is it to be, that I can't be me I can do just fine, I will be just fine, without you here with me I will probably live, live a richer life without your good advice Nothing you can say to change my feelings Nothing you can do to change my actions Got to prove to live, got to live to prove I know how you must feel Is it just too much? It is all too much I want to be me You should be me, then you will see It is not easy I want to be me
