Would it help if I could make an offering? Would it help if I could make you whole? This ritual of lies Each sacrifice contrived This ceremony can not make us holy Say you will Sacred words have turned to forgery No honesty Or morality I owe No I don't want to know the truth Would it help if I could end your suffering? Would it help if I could give you hope? This ritual of lies Each sacrifice contrived This ceremony can not make us holy Say you will Sacred words have turned to forgery No honesty Or morality I owe No I don't want to know the truth Did the masqerade arouse your sorrow? Did the wind and rain consume your soul? Were you ravaged by the wolves evoked wihtin your woe? When will your sufferance cry out? Say you will Sacred words have turned to forgery No honesty Or morality I owe No I don't want to know the truth Say you will Sacred words have turned to forgery No honesty Or morality I owe No I don't want to know the truth

We are born unto violence We are forced to fight for love We must learn our humilty Where affection must be earned We'll seize the earth and it's accolades Knowing one by one We'll be layed to waste But until that day We must bravely carry on To wage the war of love All we are We're the reckless hearts of rage All we are We're the slaughtered lambs of love With a foolish heart We'll play the game Sparing no expense In desperation All we are With undying faith We'll wage the war of love We can dance through forbidden lands Watching kingdoms turn to dust Rule the world with a fatal kiss No regret for what was lost We will seize the earth and it's accolades Knowing one by one We'll be layed to waste But until that day We must bravely carry on To wage the war of love

ALL MY STRENGTH IS GONE EXUMING FOR SIGNS OF A FOOLS GOLD MY FINGERS STILL BLEEDING FOR PROSPECTS OF PARADISE ALL OUR DAYS ARE LONG AND MY FACE HAS SHOWN THAT PLEASURE CAN KILL NO DENIAL BUT SOMETHING KEEPS PULLING ME BACK LIKE THE TIDE CRY OUT LAY YOUR ENCUMBRANCE ON TO ME WASTED IN FERVOR WE STRAY TO THE EDGE OF THE WORLD LORN IN MISERY CRY OUT LAY YOUR ENCUMBRANCE ON TO ME WASTED IN FERVOR WE STRAY TO THE EDGE OF THE WORLD LORN IN MISERY HAVE WE TURNED TO STONE? OR WILL THIS SPELL BE BROKEN I NEED TO KNOW WE CANNOT ESCAPE FROM THE PERSISTENCE OF TIME I'VE BEEN LAYED TO WASTE SUCH A BITTER TASTE OH NO BEST BELIEVE NO DENIAL A RAVENOUS HUNGER THAT CREEPS LIKE THE VINES CRY OUT LAY YOUR ENCUMBRANCE ON TO ME WASTED IN FERVOR WE STRAY TO THE EDGE OF THE WORLD LORN IN MISERY CRY OUT LAY YOUR ENCUMBRANCE ON TO ME WASTED IN FERVOR WE STRAY TO THE EDGE OF THE WORLD LORN IN MISERY

Apparitions Spill Haunting Hymns of refain As darkness befalls before us A song of lamentation turns Carressing the grave While our nocturne still resounds We're Living dead Oh We're Living Dead Once again We're Living dead Oh No, No, We're Living Dead Once again Oh,We're Living dead Listen to angels's cry Falling through darkness Across this shadow's stretch Heaven's so far away Take my hand We'll never say goodbye We're Living dead Oh We're Living Dead Once again We're Living dead Oh No, No, We're Living Dead Once again Oh, We're Living dead
