Tracks
My heart is at siege from the arrow of love,
As her life and her soul ascends up above,
The mistress of time greets me hastily,
With her soft angelic voice she speaks sweetly to me.
The temple of souls is acting far from the norm,
Its headed straight into the eye of the storm,
The midnight sun is not the one in control,
You are the one who wishes on the earths soul.
I will take back everything that I gave to you,
Our love is too strong to continue,
I need something to ease the pain,
My brain will refrain from going insane.
The temple of souls is acting far from the norm,
Its headed straight into the eye of the storm,
The midnight sun is not the one in control,
You are the one who wishes on the earths soul.
The temple of souls is acting far from the norm,
Its headed straight into the eye of the storm,
The midnight sun is not the one in control,
You are the one who wishes on the earths soul.
She’s indescribable,
And so desirable,
You couldn’t take her, if you make her, she’s not bribable.
She’s unbelievable,
Hardly conceivable,
She’s not a sleeper, but a keeper, not receivable.
She is unbeatable,
She’s not defeat-able,
She don’t play fairly, but it’s rarely that she cheats at all.
She is incredible,
And some say beddable,
Knows how to get by, and I bet I haven’t said it all.
She’s quite something,
She’s quite something.
She’s unforgettable,
And not ressetable,
Some time to slither, to get with her, ‘s not regrettable.
She’s unexplainable,
She’s not retainable,
You couldn’t see her, and to be her, ‘s Unattainable.
She is unbreakable,
And she’s not takable,
She’s such a cutie, cos her beauty, ’s unmistakable.
She is available,
Yet unassailable,
You can’t get on her, though you wanna, she’s not scalable.
She’s quite something,
She’s quite something.
She’s indescribable,
And so desirable,
She’s unbelievable,

And she’s not takable,
She is available,
Yet unassailable.

The cradle of life,
Is descending into total darkness,
Will things ever be the same?
It doesn’t feel like anything’s worth it.
All the chaos is running through me,
I’ve got a feeling that it all will affect me,
I’m gonna lose it if I’m not fast we’re enough,
We’ll keep living ‘til we run out of luck.
The universe will last eternity,
But the end of time is always following me,
Into the future I can’t see,
I’ve gotta keep my distance from my destiny.
I should give up and let go,
But I am getting dragged into the shadows,
I’m trying to pull myself out,
Away from this apocalyptic terror.

O weary I am of this road that I travel,
Wanting to run managing only to crawl.
Forcing myself, not to sleep at night,
‘Cos I know, if I dream, nothing will turn out right,
And I think, to myself, how could this be real,
Is this the only way, the way we’re meant to feel.
Why do I dream,
Why does it have to hurt,
I need to travel,
Back to reality.
(Is this a dream.) When will it end,
(Is this my life.) Or am I living trapped,
(This is a dream.) Well when did it start,
(This is my life.) Wish I was living free.
(Is this a dream.) When will it end,
(Is this my life.) Or am I living trapped,
(This is a dream.) Well when did it start,
(This is my life.) Wish I was living free.
Wanting to run managing only to crawl.
Closing my eyes, I sit and think of life,
Into the abyss, of what is, what’s dream and what’s real life,
The branches of life, cover up my eyes,
I can’t see, for I’m blind, of my own destiny.
Why do I dream,
Why does it have to hurt,
I need to travel,
Back to reality.
(Is this a dream.) When will it end,
(Is this my life.) Or am I living trapped,
(This is a dream.) Well when did it start,
(This is my life.) Wish I was living free.

Why did this happen to me,
Caught on a ship and now stranded out at sea,
Lost in a desert of blue,
I’m alone and now I’m calling out to you.
I’m not sure how,
I got in this situation I’m in now,
I need some help,
To get away and free myself,
Sit or Stand,
For Our Lives,
Save Our Souls,
S.O.S
Trapped on a lonely mountain,
Hiking all around and got lost again,
Take me off this steep slope,
With every hour pass I’m losing my hope.
I’m not sure how,
I got in this situation I’m in now,
I need some help,
To get away and free myself,
Sit or Stand,
For Our Lives,
Save Our Souls,
S.O.S
Stuck in a great war zone,
Pull me out and lead me back to home,
Confined in this field of war,
Help me now ‘cos I can’t take no more.
I’m not sure how,
I got in this situation I’m in now,
I need some help,
To get away and free myself,
Sit or Stand,

Narrator:
Lost, in the palace halls,
The blood is spilt, the pictures on the walls,
A body falls.
Here, in the dead of night,
The artist walks, a palette by his side,
The crimson tide.
Looking, for the guilty one,
Witness:
CALL THE GUARDS, HE CAN’T HAVE GOTTEN VERY FAR
Narrator:
But it seems the artist’s gone.
Assassin:
My footsteps silent in the night,
A thief of life without a fight,
A shrouded mind, a hidden blade,
The darkest soul concealed in shade.
I wish for your blood can’t you see,
The hunger deep inside of me,
The final seconds of your life,
Taken by the edge of the knife.
Narrator:
Trapped, in the maze of lies,
A covered face, a master of disguise,
Lord of the flies.
Stuck, in this hellish dream,
The blood will flow, an endless scarlet stream,
Conceal the scream.
Guard 1:
Why do we always come too late?
Guard 2:
GET HIS HEAD, WE’VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT HE’S DEAD
Guard 1:
How has he not met his fate?
Assassin:
My footsteps silent in the night,
A thief of life without a fight,
A shrouded mind, a hidden blade,
The darkest soul concealed in shade.
I wish for your blood can’t you see,
The hunger deep inside of me,
The final seconds of your life,
Taken by the edge of the knife.

Taken by the edge of the knife.
The ace is high,
The deuce is low,
The 7’s in the middle but the joker,
I don’t know.
I get dealt 4 kings,
I Think I’ve won everything,
But then she takes the pot away with 4 aces,
And a sly little grin.
The ace is a stroking,
The jack is a choking,
The queen is a smoking,
And the king’s always moping.
The jack is a choking,
The queen is a smoking,
The king’s always moping,
And the joker,
He’s a joking.
The next set has been made,
All the cards have been laid,
I look down at my hand,
Why are the jokers being played?
OK now I’m confused,
These cards are gonna make me lose,
I can play ‘em or I can fold ‘em,
But which one do I choose?
The ace is a stroking,
The jack is a choking,
The queen is a smoking,
And the king’s always moping.
The jack is a choking,
The queen is a smoking,
The king’s always moping,
And the joker,
He’s a joking.
The joker’s out to get me,
On this round I was dealt three,
And I just know,
I’m gonna lose all my money.
The ace is a stroking,
The jack is a choking,
The queen is a smoking,
And the kings always moping.
The jack is a choking,
The queen is a smoking,
The king’s always moping,
And the joker.
The ace is a stroking,
The jack is a choking,
The queen is a smoking,
And the king’s always moping.
The jack is a choking,
The queen is a smoking,
The king’s always moping,
And the joker,
He’s a joking.
He’s a joking,
And the joker,
He’s a joking.
He’s a joking,
And the joker.
