Threnody Control 1. Lost Falling down into a pit Dark maze with no way out Looking for that shred of evidence That would prove it all Lost the sight, that would bring light Loose that feeling Give in to it and it leaves you In an all-time low My sole and solemn purpose Is it just to bring and get delight? That feeling I am and must be right I just don't and do I want to know? Looking for that shred of evidence That would prove it all Lost the sight and bring light I try to get out 2. One Chance I shall decide what is good or bad I will take what is mine Time will tip the scales The devil may take care of its own I will take care of mine One chance to take care of my own Plans made, hearts broken Dreams faded, created I shall decide what is good or bad I will take what is mine Time will tip the scales The devil may take care of its own I will take care of mine Chances may have passed before my eyes My life at faith's grips My turn in time 3. Angel In my hour of need She will always be there To show me the act of deliverance She is my angel She will always protect me When I despair She will show me Give me the faith to believe in me When I am in doubt 4. Creeping Wondering what the day may bring Still wondering at first light Life promised so much to be Quiet it does seem to me Waited for a moment to be What all expected of me It has all gone away Quiet feeling of dismay Twisting, turning, restless fury It wants to be free Rattling the chains, chains that cage me It wants to be free Wondering late till early light Feeling that something isn't right They have all gone away Creeping feeling of dismay 5. Defined by Action What have we become To be like this Ruled by what is fed to me Knowledge selected Something is wrong My conscience says there is Nice to know I can switch it off I'm not getting anywhere I'm not taking any risks Who cares? I'm going to live forever I'm not getting anywhere I'm not taking any risks Who cares? 'Cause I will live forever Nothing happens in my life So all must be well I watch images pass me by I feel better already Something is wrong My conscience says there is Nice to know I can switch it off I'm not getting anywhere I'm not taking any risks Who cares? I'm going to live forever In my mind I am an island on my own My life of perfect misery I enjoy that of others What have we become To be like this Ruled by what is fed to me Knowledge selected In my mind I am alone 6. Drianed Chains I break No time to waste Goals to make No time to wait Pull and hold me down Struggling to beat the better I will not hold, I won't stop I'll rage and race forever Raging on Stop at none Life awaits I'll sleep when I'm dead Hurdles I take It's make or break I'll sleep when I'm dead No time to lose 7. I Stand Alone People surround me, but they don't care to know So I am lord and master of all that is my own All is done in my belief, within my might All else that happens is not my fight Words made hollow, a world made shallow Mine is the pledge, but now I feel, I've lost the edge I stand alone in this cold life So much is there to make mine Many mountains left to climb Conviction, by vision made whole It's perfection in a glass bowl The drive, which pushed me on, to make it on my own Slowly fading:, slowly grinding to a halt I stand alone 8. Lines I Write I trust in you For you are who I am Comforts me, one step beyond This book my life Tattered though it may be Keeps me alive Wisdom of old My story, my conclusion This book is my redemption These lines I write Where they lead I do not know But this is my book, my heart Reckoning it will follow in the next book Turn the pages of my life 9. Perfect Days Turn of times and ways apart The beginning, means of a new start Didn't we have perfect days? Spent in blessed ways Smile spent on good times Wish to be together Those were the days Those were our ways Do you ever look back? Or am I the only one? Seven bad years, seven good years Knowing now the good years have begun Smile spent on good times Wish to be together Those were the days Those were our ways Those were the days Those were our ways 10. Play Play the ball Play the game of life I see it everyday I hear it all the time A twisted game we play Right and wrong has blended No ref(eree) attending No goals to be defended Don't understand the reason I've never seen, seen such darkness I've never heard such silence I've never felt so lost Don't understand the reason I've never seen, seen such darkness I've never heard such silence I've never felt so alone 11. Black Day Today is a black day I heard a whisper of times passed And so a journey ends The soul has gone A fading of light And so a journey ends You touched my life Beyond fear and loneliness And so a journey ends Risen to the heights Passed through the lows And so a journey ends I feel so lost Afraid and all alone And so a journey ends Find guiding light In memories that remain And so a journey ends So I feel no loss For the memory stays And so a journey ends Today was a black day I heard a whisper of times passed And so a journey begins 12. Hell Bent for Leather (Judas Priest cover) Seek him here, seek him on the highway Never knowing when he'll appear All await, engine's ticking over Hear the roar as they sense the fear Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light! Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes! Hell bent, hell bent for leather Hell bent, hell bent for leather Black as night, faster than a shadow Crimson flare from a raging sun An exhibition, sheer precision Yet no one knows from where he comes Fools! Self destruct cannot take that crown Dreams!
