DARKER HALF LYRICS

1. Take The Plunge

See the path laid out before me,
But there's no signs on the road,
The future is blind before me,
Which way to go,
How should I know!

[chorus]
I could've spent so many nights
wondering what might have been again,
Will I let fate come and take me by the hand,
I should've rolled the dice
and took the plunge
and see where I might land,
Don't know where I'm going
but I know that I'm not coming back!

I've got to make a decision,
Down which path will I go,
No more time to stand here waiting,
I've got to go, that's all I know.

2. Enough Is Enough

Keep on believing you're
living your life your own way
Their influence just grows every day
All that you hear you will
instantly trust
What we're shown as diamonds
turns out to be rust.

[chorus]
Taking gladly what you're given
All too blind to see the way
Want a different world to live in
Can't take this one more day.

We live in an age that is ruled
by a blanket of fear
Don't know if to believe
what i see or hear
Might be true or it might not
there's just no way to tell
While they build themselves heaven
they're giving us hell.

3. Duality

You don't know me,
I don't even know myself,
Can't control me,
I will fight you til my dying breath schizophrenia,
Multi-personality,
Feel it taking over,
Suddenly not who I used to be!

[chorus]
Feel it taking hold,
All thought is drained from me,
Nothing I can do,
It's taking over me.

Trapped inside these,
Ever growing web of lies,
Why'd you show me beauty?
Now I know a monster lurks inside,
Integration,
As I break out of my head,
Know I seem a little crazy but,
I'll be right in the end.

4. Confusion

Why must I feel this pain?
Just don't know what to do,
It's happening again,
Been spat out again and used,
I don't know what to think,
Thoughts whirling in my mind,
Are things just what they seem?
Impossible to find.

Just what am I to you,
Just a plaything or a fool,
So tired of playing games,
Revenge is all I crave,
I'll be watching evermore,
Maybe sneaking through the door,
Tired of looking through the glass,
I'll step inside at last!

Tried to leave it in the past,
Tried to get away at last,
You know,
I'm just a shadow of myself,
Leave me broken burnt and scarred,
Moving on still seems so hard,
You see,
The scars!

Time goes on, memories fade,
See myself, dying each day,
Ask myself, what's going on,
Feel myself begin to fall.

Why!
The devastation,
Tell me why!
This fucking devastation,
You left me here,
Fall into void obscurity,
Never fear,
Until your final dying day!
Aah!

5. Stranded

I wait here for the dawn,
But it never seems to come,
This night keeps dragging on,
Will I ever see the sun?
See the world now turn away,
The starry sky, I used to see, now seems so grey,
When everything's going in circles,
You never reach the end.

The walls collapse around me,
The colours they play out a dance of death,
The beauty, it astounds me,
But is this my final breath?

Question my sanity,
How to know what is real?
A fractured mind that will not heal!
Wasting the night away,
How to know left's not right,
There's nothing left for me tonight!
Acid brain,
Gone insane,
Wishing that this was still a game,
Twisted mind,
Lost inside,
No way to see through this endless night!

A mind wrapped in confusion,
Not even sure what is real,
The puzzle is falling to pieces,
I feel my fate is sealed!

6. Helpless

I see the faces,
Staring up imploring to me,
I feel their anger,
As they pull me back down to my knees,
I want to save you,
But you won't even let me try,
I feel your apathy,
But why the fuck won't you let me try.

[chorus]
No one to hold you,
Nobody there to stop the fight,
You're wasting away before my eyes,
And there's nothing I can do.

I feel the frustration,
I get close and you move further away,
I talk and you hear me,
But you don't hear a word that I say,
I want to keep going,
But I'm so close to giving up,
Transformed by your weakness,
Into something that I'm not.

Standing at the edge,
Right there on the brink,
So close to falling down,
Down into the drink,
Open up my eyes,
Smoke clouds what I'll see,
Is there something down there?
Is that something me?
See my fear,
Drawing near.

Trying every day,
Trying to break loose,
Things just stay the same,
Closer to the noose,
Always crawling back,
Habits hard to break,
So lost can't find my track.,
Bright eyes fade away,
See my fear,
Drawing near.

7. Darker Half

Tried to scream,
Can't find my
Voice
Been denied of every
Choice
Why is it that they can't
See
The misery they're causing
Me
Made me follow all their
Rules
Time to break out - fuck the
Fools
Now it's time to get them
Back
Rally your forces all out
Attack.

[chorus]
You cannot escape us
We're gonna hunt you down
Darker Half is coming
To slaughter your whole town.

Tried to hold us in
Control
Brought about their own death
Toll
None of them will live to
See
The day we set ourselves
Free
Not a soul is to be
Spared
Torture, pain, now getting
Scared
None of you will live to
See
The day we set ourselves
Free.

8. Invasion

I see the terror on your eyes,
Been forced to fight just to survive,
Always lived in peace before,
Shattered lives destroyed by war,
Ohhh, you came and took our homes,
Never from this day again!

[chorus]
Conquered from the sea and had our homes,
Ripped and torn away,
Fought back long and hard until we fall,
Being crushed again!

It's getting harder every day,.
Just to hold them back at bay,
Spears no match for musket fire,
We won't give in softly either!
Ooh, you came and took our homes,
Never from this day again!

NO! You came and we thought you were gods!
NO! You tore down our homes as we watched,
As you changed our world.

NO! You tore down our cities of stone!
NO! Replaced them with ones of your own,
As you changed our world.

Incas forced to turn and run,
Curse the sight of Spaniards gun,
Life will never be the same,
Claim these shores in our own name,
Searching for a land of gold,
New world richer than the old,
I know we'll find a way,
To take our homeland back!

9. Holocaust

Senseless violence,
Breaks the silence,
Thousands slaughtered,
More were tortured,
Deadly chamber no escaping,
Careless for the lives they're taking.

[chorus]
Holocaust,
Holocaust,
Holocaust,

Persecution,
No solution,
Taste of death sits on your breath,
Concentration,
Mass damnation,
Death becomes a realization.

Bombs are flying,
Soldier dying,
Bodies corpses multiplying,
For what reason I can't see,
Brainwashed servants,
Kill for thee.

10. Heads Are Gonna Roll

I wait here for the dawn,
But it never seems to come,
This night keeps dragging on,
Will I ever see the sun?
See the world now turn away,
The starry sky, I used to see, now seems so grey,
When everything's going in circles,
You never reach the end.

The walls collapse around me,
The colours they play out a dance of death,
The beauty, it astounds me,
But is this my final breath?

Question my sanity,
How to know what is real?
A fractured mind that will not heal!
Wasting the night away,
How to know left's not right,
There's nothing left for me tonight!
Acid brain,
Gone insane,
Wishing that this was still a game,
Twisted mind,
Lost inside,
No way to see through this endless night!

A mind wrapped in confusion,
Not even sure what is real,
The puzzle is falling to pieces,
I feel my fate is sealed!

11. Anthem For Doomed Youth

And as the sun has nearly set,
Upon this wasteland of regret,
The darkening horizon comes,
To lead the way,
Out come the creatures of the night,
In their thousands.

[chorus]
Why should we wander on,
To blindly follow,
Those who've gone before,
Stop looking to the past,
Start looking forward,
A nightmare future stands before us all!
Will we stand or fall!

Fight for your life!

Creep through darkened city streets,
Wide eyed with fear that never sleeps,
The screeching wail of guns,
Reminds me that I'm far away from home,
Will I see my life again,
Is it over!
