The agonies of memories past
entreat within my mind
I struggle with the pleas of self
to dispel them all in kind

Never shall I find the peace
which grants a kindred soul
For presently I battle demons
who wish to take control

I hesitate for but a moment
wondering where to turn
And as each passing day goes by
the countless embers burn

Must I swelter in the heat
of endless tortured flames
Or shall I conquer and prevail
to rise above the pain

Will Death relinquish all it's hold
and allow me to be free
With promises of blissful sleep
that's void of misery

I travel down this fated road
my future carved in stone
It seems I'm destined in this life
to walk it all alone

There's no one who can feel my pain
or know my misery
I wait for Death to take my hand
since nothing's left for me

My tortured soul keeps searching for
the comfort in the end
Since loneliness and emptiness
have been my only friend

The peace of mind within myself
can never be replaced
I long to feel the gentle touch
within it's warm embrace

Will the whispering still echo
inside my haunted heart
While the distant memories of the past
keep tearing me apart

Constantly I 've had to fight
with demons of my own
So I travel down this fated road
my future carved in stone

When darkness falls across the sky
my fears hope for tomorrow
With dreams that soar like eagles fly
with peace and painful sorrow

As love remembers better times
and memories filter through
All these thoughts that fill my head
I wonder which are true

I toss and turn as nightmares rage
with terror in the night
With horror etched upon my face
I fear no end in sight

Through space and time I search for you
my shelter in the storm
You gave me strength like nothing else
I couldn't ask for more

But I fight these battles all alone
with no one by my side
It seems the truths that must be told
are torture to my mind

I'm bound for Hell with Heaven high
and time that can't be borrowed
As darkness falls across the sky
my fears are for tomorrow

We all have our problems
it's part of the game
But in all of our search
for fortune and fame

Things aren't exactly
what we thought they would be
So we're welcomed to the cold world
of reality

We live our lives
the best way that we can
But sometimes it's hard
and we don't understand

That we are all different
no one is alike
And nobody's wrong
but then no one is right

It all just depends
on the life that you live
And everyone's judged
by the help that they give

Some people won't give
and they really can't see
That their life is so empty
of what it could be

I give what I can
I know it ain't much
But each person I meet
I hope their life I touch

I want to be known
when my time is through
That I did what I could
for the people I knew

I hear the voice of whispered dreams,

Which echoed long ago

The distant thunder shakes the ground,

As the fear within me grows



The voice approaches steadily,

As fires form in Its wake

I turn to flee on legs of stone,

Theres no more I can take



The world beneath me opens up,

As struggling...I run

But mournful cries of tortured souls,

Has only just begun



I force myself to continue on,

As terror fills my mind

With fear and hope my only friends,

I pray that I'll survive



Hands of Death have reached for me,

For all these dreaded years

I feel the wounds of loneliness,

As I wipe away the tears



I slowly stop and face the End,

My head held ever high

With peace of mind I reach for Him,

No longer scared to die....

Each night I get to hold you
If only in my dreams
You wrap your love around my heart
While lying next to me

To say I love you is not enough
It's more than just these words
It goes beyond one single thought
And anything you've heard

I watch the moonlight touch your face
As I gently kiss your cheek
I wonder if its me you see
When you're smiling in your sleep

Although this dream will surely end
And I know I'll have to wake
With all the ways you've touched my heart
Its more than I can take

I count the days this dream comes true
And your love is here with me
But until that day I'll hold you tight
If only in my dreams
