You’re awake,
But trapped in your mind
I was there,
When you left us all, behind
You can’t escape this verdict, no chance,
Everyone knows what you’ve done-
You’re a monster,
But an angel to just some
You’re a monster,
You can’t escape
Just try to run,
Monster,   Monster,   Angel,   Monster,   Monster

In a labyrinth of lies,
Beasts track you in a web of spiders
And the raven flies,
A sign that you’ve arrived

You can hide it from yourself, soldier
But heaven knows your sins
You’re a monster, yes you’ve tried to win-
Monster, try to live within that skin

Monster, Monster, Monster, Monster, Monster

Riding here, a cloak over your face,
What has caused you to come to this haunted place?
Atop a horse that is one with the night,
Why are you here, this isn’t your fight
My hand in yours leading the way,
You beg me to go so why should I stay
Dark eyes with hair swept over your face,
Why have you come to this silent place?

Back on her horse and riding away
Just riding, away
Back on her horse riding away
Away
The shadows shoot by under the moon’s silver rays
An old ruined castle for the night we will stay
The dew stained grass
Until the dawn of the day

Taking your hands gentle with grace
Now we are here is it the end of the chase?
Leaning to you yet away you do move
Bringing me here, why don’t you approve
Hearing the ocean, the wind in the trees
You’re still and pure, please just be freed
Staring at me, your touch full of grace,
Is it the end of the unstated chase?

Is this a chase
Chase
Why this strange chase

This overgrown room with an old and slow pace,
Acting as if we’re in wait for a race
Taking my hand, is there something you know,
Flying back home, what won’t you show?

Return to the villa there’s a man in my bed,
Drips on the floor from the shot in his head

You took me away at a frantic pace
You look at me as if we’ve just won a race

The race
An innocent race

Once was found but now you’re lost,
You can travel far, our paths will cross
Fought and sinned but born no cost,
Your mind can go so far,
With a heart of  frost.

Please turn around,
Look them in the eyes,
Though their souls have drowned,
They have not died

You hear their cries on the broken waves,
Turn your back
Just feel it inside.
Past shouts of joy and triumph,
Listen close,
They are lost with the tide
Close your eyes, your eyes,
Close your eyes, your eyes

Face the wall and sink right down,
Sweat it out
In this strange town,
Feel the bites around your ivy crown,
Hear the silence singing
To your absent crown.

Just turn around,
Stare into their eyes,
Your feet aren’t bound,
Like their hands are tied.

Exhausted thinking that the world still owes you
Exhausted feeling like a hawk that is in chase
Trying to figure out, is it true,
Leave this place,
Just leave this place.

Secrets carried on the breeze,
Why aren’t you listening?
Turn your head away,
Just hear them please.
In your head, they’re in your head,
Your exiled people.
In your head, though they are dead
These unknown people.

Soft voices call,
Yet no one’s there-
Whisper secrets,
You still care-
Beyond belief,
Beyond your sight,
Murmuring shadow
In dark and light,

In dark and light.

You're going deaf, you can’t touch me,
What is real life, and what are feelings?
They’re clouds sir, mirages, why can’t you see?
They’re fallen skeletons, sir, not alive, just leave it be.

Soft voices call,
They can’t forgive,
You think they’re real,
Yet they don’t live,
Fight them off,
Memories of the night
Keep staring straight,
Let them take flight.
