Purify
Purify your mind
Purify your soul
come together
purify us all
We do not seek redemption
We do not seek forgiveness
We cannot seek shelter
There is only one way
to progress
We must seek purity
Purify our minds
Purify our souls
Purify us all
Purity is beauty
We do not seek an answer
answers are subjective to the asker
We do not seek a solution
solutions are subjective to the problem
Purity is all we need
Purify your mind
Purify your soul
Purity is golden
And it shall be cherished
Purify your soul
come together
purify us all
We do not seek redemption
We do not seek forgiveness
We cannot seek shelter
There is only one way
to progress
We must seek purity
Purify our minds
Purify our souls
Purify us all
Purity is beauty
We do not seek an answer
answers are subjective to the asker
We do not seek a solution
solutions are subjective to the problem
Purity is all we need
Purify your mind
Purify your soul
Purity is golden
And it shall be cherished

Hunting Me
Your eyes follow me,
possessed,
with one sole target
Your actions leave me,
powerless,
Anything in your way,
destroyed,
to reach me.
Get me out of your head,
I don't want to be there,
Your twisted little thoughts,
Your crazed manipulation...
It's haunting me.
I can't escape because I'm,
Lost,
with no-one to help me.
Get me out of your head,
I don't want to be there,
Your twisted little thoughts,
Your crazed manipulation...
It's haunting me.
Get me out of your fucking head.
possessed,
with one sole target
Your actions leave me,
powerless,
Anything in your way,

to reach me.
Get me out of your head,
I don't want to be there,

Your crazed manipulation...
It's haunting me.
I can't escape because I'm,
Lost,

Get me out of your head,
I don't want to be there,

It's haunting me.
Get me out of your fucking head.

Memories
Time swiftly passes by,
selfishly not thinking of its victims,
unwilling to slow down.
I remember when we first met,
but time went by so quickly.
And now all we have is memories,
Celebrations and tragedies,
Will only be remembered,
by fragments of our minds.
Time swiftly passes by,
cruelly devouring the aging process,
unwilling to slow down.
I remember when we first met,
but time only slows down,
when its not worth having.
And now all we have is memories,
Celebrations and tragedies,
Will only ever be...
selfishly not thinking of its victims,
unwilling to slow down.
I remember when we first met,
but time went by so quickly.
And now all we have is memories,
Celebrations and tragedies,
Will only be remembered,
by fragments of our minds.
Time swiftly passes by,
cruelly devouring the aging process,
unwilling to slow down.
I remember when we first met,
but time only slows down,
when its not worth having.
And now all we have is memories,
Celebrations and tragedies,
Will only ever be...

Victory
Victory is mine
Victory is ours
Taste the wine
Victory is fine
If victory can be a saviour
let it be sanctioned
if victory can be a saviour
let us be freed
Victory is ours
We'll walk through this fear
and come out fighting on the other side
Victory is mine
Victory is ours
Taste the wine
Victory is fine
Blame ourselves in time of despair
but victory can pull us through
fighting til the end of days
can't find any other ways
to seek the truth
and seek our peace
Victory has come too late...
Victory is ours
Taste the wine
Victory is fine
If victory can be a saviour
let it be sanctioned
if victory can be a saviour
let us be freed
Victory is ours
We'll walk through this fear
and come out fighting on the other side
Victory is mine
Victory is ours
Taste the wine
Victory is fine
Blame ourselves in time of despair
but victory can pull us through
fighting til the end of days
can't find any other ways
to seek the truth
and seek our peace
Victory has come too late...

Poison
The beauty of the poison,
is it kills so valiantly,
it seeps through every pore,
and silently wipes away all signs of life...
So what poison will you bring to me,
in the form of love?
What trickery will you perform,
to send me far away,
I've seen your eyes,
I've seen the hate,
I do not trust them,
too much hate.
And I think,
that I'll survive,
if I run away forever,
but how can I,
run away,
from the drug that keeps me alive?
You have me caught,
hook, line and sinker,
too many times,
I've taken...
is it kills so valiantly,
it seeps through every pore,
and silently wipes away all signs of life...
So what poison will you bring to me,
in the form of love?
What trickery will you perform,
to send me far away,
I've seen your eyes,
I've seen the hate,
I do not trust them,
too much hate.
And I think,
that I'll survive,
if I run away forever,
but how can I,
run away,
from the drug that keeps me alive?
You have me caught,
hook, line and sinker,
too many times,
I've taken...

Gon' Reach The Top
Workin' hard,
night 'n day,
used to be my game,
but I got a little older,
and I got a little colder.
Fell apart,
night 'n day,
throwing back the beers,
and I grew a little weaker,
I grew a little bleaker.
Lost it all,
over time,
didn't seem to care,
but I'm missing you a little more,
I'm missing you a little more.
But I'm gon' change,
gonna climb that ol' ladder once again,
and I'm gon' reach the top.
I'm a broken down tired ol' piece of meat,
but I'm not finished yet,
As long as I still got...

Fly Away
I've broken the window,
I've smashed the door,
I've taken advantage,
of the poor,
for the last time...
My mind goes all astray,
I'm treating you that way,
it's not me,
can't work it out,
can't work out why I'm throwing it all away...
Nothing but kindness,
you've shown me,
nothing but problems,
have clouded me,
but I've broken my last window,
and I've smashed my last door,
the house that is your love,
is a sacred shrine I'll break no more..
And I'll fly away,
if the pain is...
I've smashed the door,
I've taken advantage,
of the poor,
for the last time...
My mind goes all astray,
I'm treating you that way,
it's not me,
can't work it out,
can't work out why I'm throwing it all away...
Nothing but kindness,
you've shown me,
nothing but problems,
have clouded me,
but I've broken my last window,
and I've smashed my last door,
the house that is your love,
is a sacred shrine I'll break no more..
And I'll fly away,

One Mistake
If there's one mistake I made,
it's forgetting that I love you,
forgetting that I need you so.
If there's one mistake I made,
it's forgetting to say thank you,
forgetting that you never said no.
I don't regret many things,
my life is pretty fulfilled,
but the one mistake that I made,
was taking you for granted,
oh the seeds were planted,
and I should have seen this coming,
the one mistake I made,
was letting you go.
If there's one mistake I made,
it's forgetting to hold you,
when the night was cold and dark.
...
it's forgetting that I love you,
forgetting that I need you so.
If there's one mistake I made,
it's forgetting to say thank you,
forgetting that you never said no.
I don't regret many things,
my life is pretty fulfilled,
but the one mistake that I made,
was taking you for granted,
oh the seeds were planted,
and I should have seen this coming,
the one mistake I made,
was letting you go.

it's forgetting to hold you,

Ashes In The Fire
It doesn't matter what we've done,
our lives are of little importance,
It doesn't matter if we've had our fun,
because we'll be gone soon.
It doesn't matter that we were loved,
our lives are of little importance,
It doesn't matter than we had dreams,
because we'll be gone soon.
Ashes in the fire,
that's all we are,
forgotten remnants of the flames,
burned remains of what we used to be,
we'll drift into the air,
and vanish into nothing.
The smoke will clear and we'll be left fallen,
our lives are of little importance,...
our lives are of little importance,
It doesn't matter if we've had our fun,
because we'll be gone soon.
It doesn't matter that we were loved,
our lives are of little importance,
It doesn't matter than we had dreams,
because we'll be gone soon.
Ashes in the fire,
that's all we are,
forgotten remnants of the flames,
burned remains of what we used to be,
we'll drift into the air,
and vanish into nothing.
The smoke will clear and we'll be left fallen,
our lives are of little importance,...

My Love Song
Silly little melodies,
the source of our souls,
words that have strong meaning,
we must break the mould,
to find a way,
to talk things through,
my love song,
won't get through to you.
this "what if?" thought system,
it's bringing me down,
I don't want to be here,
without you around,
I must find a way,
to talk things through,
my love song,
won't get through to you,
so I'll sing a little differently,
bring in the big guns,
thousand ways to say,
what I need to say....
and I must...

Wash The Paint Away
-Verse 1-
Too many tissue papers,
used to dry your eyes,
Friends that are really fakers,
telling you these lies.
I don't know what to tell you,
you found out anyway,
those people are no good for you,
don't fall into the fray.
[chorus]
They've painted their target,
and that target is you,
I'm trying to wash the paint away...
-Verse 2-
You can forgive and forget,
and go back to them,
but next time they cause you upset,
they'll expect forgiveness again.
Can't you see that,
that they're taking you for...
Too many tissue papers,

Carry On
Through this pain we'll carry on...
too many times, the feeling's gone...
do we cry or do we laugh...
this is the end of our tradition...
Through this pain we'll carry on...
too many times, the feeling's gone...
do we cry or do we laugh...
this is the end of our existence...
We've been to hell,
and travelled back,
what do we have to show for it?
I don't know how,
I don't know when,
but I will have you back again,
doesn't matter what we've done,
we'll go back to when we first met,
I don't know how,
I don't know...
too many times, the feeling's gone...
do we cry or do we laugh...
this is the end of our tradition...
Through this pain we'll carry on...
too many times, the feeling's gone...
do we cry or do we laugh...
this is the end of our existence...
We've been to hell,
and travelled back,
what do we have to show for it?
I don't know how,
I don't know when,
but I will have you back again,
doesn't matter what we've done,
we'll go back to when we first met,
I don't know how,
I don't know...
