DEMIST LYRICS

1. Theater Of Agony

In the miracle of love, we’ve tried it all
Nothing seemed too good to break the fall
Once we found the joy in lust
that knows no bounds to quench the call
corruption took its toll

Change all that I am
until I’m down on my knees give me no peace
take your place in our play
theater of agony brings our release

There’s no shame in what we want for we both need
our primal urge to take the lead
purest sentiments are fine,
but something else betters the game
pleasure of pain

Change all that I am
until I’m down on my knees give me no peace
take your place in our play
theater of agony brings our release

2. Faith Remains

Once upon a time a child opened her eyes to dawn
Only to find nothing more than the pain of love all gone
Whispering to the winds she leaned outside the present's doors
Reaching out to the hands of night to carry her lost soul

Accept your fears as your illusions
Redeem your sins and start anew

Remember what has brought you here
All the pain and loss were not there all in vain
Hold on to what you know when the storm's drawing near
Come what may, the faith remains

One more night a weary man sat crying on the bed
Wondering why life passes by with nothing but regret
Thousand hopes betrayed him as not one did soothe the pain
Suddenly, his lost reflection showed a smiling face

It's not too late to make your choices
Retrace your steps and start again

Remember what has brought you here
All the pain and loss were not there all in vain
Hold on to what you know when the storm's drawing near
Come what may, the faith remains

3. Nemesis

Reasoning can get me nowhere
when all is silent but the voices
echoing within sweet nightmares
sedating innocence

This isn’t a story of fighting evil
but a matter of what will become
of the force in me, my own demons
never left alone, how can I win?

Knowing what is right makes it more
alluring to do what is too wrong to
deny me the chance to go through
what I feared all along

This isn’t a story of fighting evil
but a matter of what will become
of the force in me, my own demons
never left alone, how can I win?

(I’m what you crave) Get out of my head
(you’ll feel the primal bliss)
with my, my Nemesis
(you’ve made your choice)
you’ll be my only voice
(your ego’s drowned in dust
God, forgive me for this lust)
restless of heart
silenced the mind
never alone
voices, they call

This isn’t a story of fighting evil
but a matter of what will become
of the force in me, my own demons
never left alone, how can I win?

4. Break The Chains

I will feed on your frail ego
after building it up, I tell you
all affection begs for action
nothing’s secret enough

wake, habit is pulling you deep
silence is all you can hear
where laughter should be
break the chains of sweet memories
you may act how you should feel, yet
it’s not how it is

Now you see me as a temptress
here to break you apart
I don’t really have that power
you were gone from the start

wake, habit is pulling you deep
silence is all you can hear
where laughter should be
break the chains of sweet memories
you may act how you should feel, yet
it’s not how it is

Face it,
closing your eyes won’t change
what lies within
your deepest fears,
your wishes have brought
you to my open arms

5. Let It Rain

In this life there is no hope for souls that hide away
from the side of truth that shows their sinful face
one of them, I lay my damaged shield and cried for rest
and prayed to the sky to revive me so I’ll just

Let it rain,
let the drops wash away the pain
help me survive
what I deny, I deny

Consolation cannot come until I dare to make
My first step from past towards what lies ahead
Can no longer choose to hate myself and never wake
from this torment that defines who I am, I’ll

Let it rain,
let the drops wash away the pain
help me survive
what I deny, I deny

Water will bring it to life
The heart that I once held mine

Let it rain,
let the drops wash away the pain
help me survive
what I deny, I deny

6. Someone's Mirror

Stop! This old game will take its toll
By their strings I hang as though
They know what I'm good for
In the end, no one's left but me to blame
Glad they're happy as I am
Crying out for more!

Too many people I see falling deeper
Being what I used to be -- someone's mirror!

All I had to give could never make me be
Good enough to be nothing more than me
Pushed too far, I've seen the darkest Hell
Is the one you draw yourself

Wrongs I have done have made me hide
My true colors deep inside
To mourn all that has died
Now I fear there is nothing stronger yet
That would take away the hate
The mirrored eyes reflect?

Too many scars to forgive what I've become
How can they free me if I'm self-imprisoned?

All I had to give could never make me be
Good enough to be nothing more than me
Pushed too far, I've seen the darkest Hell
Is the one you draw yourself

Silence regret,
Forgive, forget
The only way to escape the past!

All I had to give could never make me be
Good enough to be nothing more than me
Pushed too far, I've seen the darkest Hell
Is the one you draw yourself

7. Generation Gray

Wake up, one more day will come to pass
in this devastated field of battles past
worthless, the descendants of the great
those who fought for life till death
which we await

Bright to see it, dull to change it
we’re the generation gray
no greater deed will earn us glory
our legacy will fade

We’ve been raised on tales that we’d amount
to something greater yet, without a doubt
we’d fight if we only knew what for
so we fight amongst ourselves
to prove our worth

Bright to see it, dull to change it
we’re the generation gray
no greater deed will earn us glory
our legacy will fade

Bright to see it, dull to change it
we’re the generation gray
no greater deed will earn us glory
our legacy will fade

8. Welcome To The Underworld

Take another step down, deeper
don’t we have a show for you
moonlit lace and velvet crimson
tightened passion piercing through

It’s safe in the dark, ah
no sin leaves a mark

Welcome to the underworld
wine is flowing, eyes all glowing
welcome to the netherworld
skin is showing, souls all lonely
ah, you’re one of us now!

Don’t be shy, you know you yearn, too
hands all over, who’s to see?
Blood-red lips, cold eyes that crave you
all’s allowed and nothing’s real!
Don’t question what’s right
give in to the night

Welcome to the underworld
wine is flowing, eyes all glowing
welcome to the netherworld
skin is showing, souls all lonely
ah, you’re one of us now!

9. Pretty Eyes

They’ve taken our fathers, our friends and our brothers
and now they are coming for us
demanders for labor don’t care much for gender
and just now you say it’s enough

tell me, what are you good for?
perfect mask and nothing more
so you think that you have it all?

throw it all away
all we have fought for, all we could
become, ‘cause in your pretty eyes
it’s all the same, behind the surface polished
there’s too little substance

you talk of equality, no personality
looks get the message across
your sultry voice doesn’t speak for us all
I’d rather yell my truth alone!

Look no further what’s gone wrong
why our role is the same old
you just perpetuate the cause

throw it all away
all we have fought for, all we could
become, ‘cause in your pretty eyes
it’s all the same, behind the surface polished
there’s too little substance

Have we really changed enough
to break through walls of glass
when our own have sold us out
for fame and fortune

10. All This Cold

You think you know what you see
but I’m hiding within
and I fear I can’t let
you to venture in

building walls so glass won’t break
keeps the warmth of sun away
all my love can’t hide the truth
I can’t trust in you

caress me, possess me
and show me how to feel
I’ll learn what to act out
my wall’s not coming down!

born a child of broken dreams
in hate generation
fed on constant fear and need
for something more

fire burns in me but can’t release all
this cold, it owns my soul

Craving victories I find
just more disappointment
running backwards not to risk
to lose again

fire burns in me but can’t release all
this cold, it owns my soul

Sorrow I find
keeps me insane
too much to bleed
enough to sustain
