FORWARD UNTO DAWN LYRICS

1. Sessions

[Instrumental]

2. The Art & Illusion Of Escape

This is not a story,
This is not a play by play,
It's not a dramatization,
(JUST SOMETHING I HAVE TO)
Something I have to say,
Why'd I dig my own grave?
Why'd you just watch me stray?
(WATCH ME STRAY RIGHT OFF THE)
Off the plank, off the pier,
Knees weak from shallow fears,
Knee deep in all my fears,
(BUT I CANNOT LOSE MY)
Lose myself inside this place,
Lose myself in anyway,
I'm my worst enemy.
(MY OWN WORST ENEMY)

Pull me from my mind,
Raise up, just don't leave me behind.

This town has got it's ways,
Of trying to make you stay,
It won't have you get away.

NO.

It's not hard to see the curse of this place,
You stay and decay.
Gotta slip away.

Move on to a better place,
Just leave without a trace.

Once it's in your blood, the disease will remain,
You can fight temptation.
Only the strong escape.

All the time I have lost, (MY THOUGHTS BETRAY ME.)
But, I'll keep the scars, (BECAUSE THEY REMIND ME) the best is yet to
come.
For some, hope has died (SO LONG AGO.)
Now the sands of time (WASH. THEM AWAY.)
I can't believe this is where I'm from.

Now.
Is.
My.
Time.

I'm about to let loose on this place.
Run all you want no one is safe.
I lived in the shadows but now I wake.
The life that we lives breathes insanity.

3. Becoming

I bet you didn't expect to wind up in your own mess.
I've been waiting patiently, don't try to run,
It'll be over soon, then I'll be gone.

You shouldn't look so scared,
You're to blame for what I have become.
Don't you see?
I've been hunting you since day one.
I've seen what you've done.
For each case that went unclosed,
I'll make you pay in your blood,
Or lack there of.
It's been so long since I've seen the sun.

Terrified of what my dreams have become,
Push far past my limits, I have been on, been on a path, one with no
return.
I have been up for endless nights.
I have been hellbent on your destruction,
You think it's over, but it's only begun, I will make sure you are forgotten,
I can't drink this away.

Trust me when I say I found a way to end your days.

This is not a test, this is not an empty threat,
I have been watching, waiting, for you.
Ever since that night I saw your face,
When you took a bite out of my life,
You should have killed me too.

I have devised the perfect plan for your demise,
This is the perfect plan.

I can't begin to describe the feeling I have inside,
To know that you're barely alive,
Hanging on by a thread.
I can't begging to describe the feeling I have inside,
To know that you're barely alive,
Hanging on by a thread.

There's nothing left to say,
This is the ending,
THIS IS THE END.

4. Anodyne

Waking in sweat from nightmares, constant feverish dreams.
I scream but they go unheard.
No one can save me now,
I'm a victim of my own mind.

Black turns to grey before my bloodshot eyes,
(I'm trapped within this vicious circle).
No one can save me now,
I'm chained down, there's no escape

From here, the keys been lost so long ago.
No one can save me now,
I can hear their footsteps getting closer.

It's not hard to tell what they want,
I can hear them laughing from every window.

FUCK.

There's no telling how long this will last,
It's hard to tell if it's all real.
The air can't seem to reach my lungs,
Creeping panic is all I feel.

My bones seem to constrict into one.

I need someone to just wake me up.

5. Walking Dead

I've made up my mind,
I'll fight for it till I die,
Mark my fucking words.
I have no place in structured space,
I won't go unheard.
All doubt thrown aside,
The mess I've made behind these eyes.
These years won't go to waste,
Lets show them what we're made of.

We're simply at the start of it,
Don't you try to silence this,
Can't you see that we are not dead yet.
I'm in control, fate seems to lose it's hold,
This path is mine and mine alone,
The choices are made, the lines are crossed,
I CAN'T TURN BACK!

Yeah!

Gotta give me something, even if I'm only the one that you all love to hate.
Gotta give me something, even if I'm only the one that you all seem to hate.
SEEM TO HATE.

Like a disease that has no cure,
Or a needle hitting bone,
The addiction spreads and it's left me only wanting more.
Once you've got a taste of it,
It stitches to your soul.
This is more a life style then a simple goal.
Failure's not an option,
But even if we do,
At least my final solace is I actually saw it through.
The weeks are long,
The days go fast,
Don't you think you've won.
It's far from over, look in my eyes,
It's only just begun.

GO!

This is the prologue to a story that's just begun,
Lets raise a glass and hope the the epilogue can't be found.

So, we've started the fires,
They burn brighter then ever.
As night turns to day,
The dancing dead live another day.

Oh, don't think that this will conclude it all.

6. Writings On The Wall

Don't tell me what to be,
I have a reason for the things I scream.
There's a story to tell,
And a time bomb ticking, my ticket to hell.
The words I bring to the songs you sing,
They help me condemn my sins.
My hands are bloodied from a timeless past,
These endless conflicts can never last.
Time isn't on my side,
If it was then I wouldn't fear a last good-bye.
The dark doesn't frightens me,
It's more so the unknowing, the uncertainty.
For all I've lost, for all I've gained,
The only thing it's done is kept me healthily insane.
We know that the end is in sight,
But sometimes it's fear that gives the push to fight.

I've done all I could to run, but my case leaves me closer then ever.
So take this eulogy as my final script in the chapter of the UNFORGIVING.
SING THESE SONGS WITH ME, EVEN AFTER MY TIME HAS PAST OVER,
AND REMEMBER THE LESSONS WE HAVE LEARNED.

I've done all I could to run, but my case leaves me closer then ever.
So take this eulogy as my final script in the chapter of the unforgiving.
Sing these songs with me, even after my time has past over,
And remember the lessons we've learned here on after.

If you live life to the fullest and follow your dreams,
The devil cannot hold you and god has no reign.
Human ignorance is common play it seems,
Just open your eyes and smile through the pain.

Then you'll see;

Freedom is in the mind of whom it possess.
