No one else
I would take millions of pictures
And cover my wall
Just photos of you
No one else at all
Because no one else shines
Or smiles the way you do
I've never seen beauty
That matches you
I wont let you down
Ill swallow my pride
I won't go too far
If your not by my side
Ill be brutally honest
I don't care what people say
I love you so much
And I'm here to stay
And cover my wall
Just photos of you
No one else at all
Because no one else shines
Or smiles the way you do
I've never seen beauty
That matches you
I wont let you down
Ill swallow my pride
I won't go too far
If your not by my side
Ill be brutally honest
I don't care what people say
I love you so much
And I'm here to stay

Ghost of dreams
Are you my ghost of the past
That haunts my dreams
Tell me your secrets
So I may see
If our paths are laid for us
If fate is drawn
The pearly gates
Or the devils spawn
you are stuck
Your unknown to the worlds
Your fiery flow
So lightly uncurls
your not a ghost
And your not alone
Ill help if I can
To cure your saddened soul
That haunts my dreams
Tell me your secrets
So I may see
If our paths are laid for us
If fate is drawn
The pearly gates
Or the devils spawn
you are stuck
Your unknown to the worlds
Your fiery flow
So lightly uncurls
your not a ghost
And your not alone
Ill help if I can
To cure your saddened soul

Phoenix
From the ashes the Phoenix shall rise
Reborn with the light that springs
Descending into the sky
Unfolding its lustrous wings
Bursting into song
The lost sound of an age
Bellowing its rebirth
It's power and its rage
Flying out of earth
Heading towards the sun
It grows its fiery feathers
And it's mission soon be done
An eternity passes by
The Phoenix feeling old
Whispering its greatest secrets
Thats Never before been told
In the last moments of its life
Bursting into flames
Reborn from the ashes...
Reborn with the light that springs
Descending into the sky
Unfolding its lustrous wings
Bursting into song
The lost sound of an age
Bellowing its rebirth
It's power and its rage
Flying out of earth
Heading towards the sun
It grows its fiery feathers
And it's mission soon be done
An eternity passes by
The Phoenix feeling old
Whispering its greatest secrets
Thats Never before been told
In the last moments of its life
Bursting into flames
Reborn from the ashes...

You gave me life
Mighty pen that guides my hand
And words to release my soul
I thank you for the gift you gave
The power to make me whole
You've given me the story's
To live so many lives
Handed me strength to wonder
And Opened up my eyes
So this is my adventure
Writing is my foal
I am the master of ideas
I am the captain of my soul
And words to release my soul
I thank you for the gift you gave
The power to make me whole
You've given me the story's
To live so many lives
Handed me strength to wonder
And Opened up my eyes
So this is my adventure
Writing is my foal
I am the master of ideas
I am the captain of my soul

Different
You are better than they are
You have made your own choice
Following you're dreams
Using you're own voice
You've broken your own limits
And bordered on genius
You've opened up your eyes
kept apart of yourself mysterious
It takes a true warrior
To do the things you do
Quitting what's not right
Trying out the new
But when i think of your name
One thing comes to mind
You are the soul that beats you're heart
You're so brave and kind
You are different
You have made your own choice
Following you're dreams
Using you're own voice
You've broken your own limits
And bordered on genius
You've opened up your eyes
kept apart of yourself mysterious
It takes a true warrior
To do the things you do
Quitting what's not right
Trying out the new
But when i think of your name
One thing comes to mind
You are the soul that beats you're heart
You're so brave and kind
You are different

The Choice
Appearing as though cheated
With its tattered cloak covering bone
Offering asylum
Or the power to the throne
As all deals struck a contract signed
The power from its will
Now given to the mortal one
And used to hunt and kill
In doing so the scroll drips black
The ink that never sets
For death has played it's deceitful part
The immortal shall regret
His power fades and crumbles
Beneath deaths own embrace
Appearing as though cheated
Death explains face to face
I offered you asylum
But...
With its tattered cloak covering bone
Offering asylum
Or the power to the throne
As all deals struck a contract signed
The power from its will
Now given to the mortal one
And used to hunt and kill
In doing so the scroll drips black
The ink that never sets
For death has played it's deceitful part
The immortal shall regret
His power fades and crumbles
Beneath deaths own embrace
Appearing as though cheated
Death explains face to face
I offered you asylum
