LETTER TO THE EXILES LYRICS

1. Prelude

[Instrumental]

2. Oh, Holy Dread!

Oh, holy dread, where are you now? I scream. Oh... where are you now? The Horror!

You are the only one who can save me from this world that I don’t
know how much longer I can hold on, when there is nothing left.
I will scream at the top of my lungs, I am ready to go home.
I can’t take another breath without wanting to leave.

Where are your answers now? Can’t you see when I’m sliding down to the coldness of hell?
Twisted inside out with lies. This is the weight I feel. While you are dreaming I am dying.
The sun will fail. While you laugh, I die. This is the way.
While you are dreaming I am here dying. This is the way. Broken sorrow.

Every minute that I stand here I grow weaker.
I am a victim of my own morality. How much more can I take of this oblivion?

There is no escape from this. It’s everywhere I am.

And everywhere I go, I find it buried deep inside.

There is no escape from this holy dread I have. There is just a whisper.
There is no escape from this holy dread.

3. It’s Never Safe To Dream

This is not who I’m supposed to be, everything’s broken.
I dream of a reality where everything’s alright.
I see a light ahead, I see another way out.

Running away from all this pain, pray for forgiveness.
I see your face in my dreams, haunting forever.

This is not where I’m supposed to be, everything’s broken. I release.
I see another way around, help me escape.
Father, I’m not worthy, but say the words and I shall be healed...I shall be healed.

This is not who I’m supposed to be, everything’s breaking....

Lie to me, tell me it’s okay. Lie to me, tell me it’s okay. Lie to me, tell me it’s okay.
Lie to me, tell me it’s okay. Lie to me, tell me it’s okay. Lie to me...

Think of Me with your beating heart, say My name is sorrow.
Look at me with your darkened eyes, see the truth in disguise.
Think of Him when you’re lying there, say His name is contempt.
Look at Him with your darkened soul, see your undoing unfold... Lie down, give up.

4. From Shadows To Substance

Lord! This is my last prayer. Heal my blackened heart. I can not go on.

Hiding beneath the water, trying to find the sky. Wanting the end to take me, to ease the pain.
The light calls to me as I embrace darkness. The light calls to me as I embrace darkness.

This is my last prayer, only You can save my soul. He is alive, I have to let Him in.
This is my hope, I’m dead to this world. I can’t go on living on my own.

Remove my skin, reveal the monster. Remove my skin, reveal the monster.
An object of passion, a product of sorrow. Oh.... I am reborn, my soul renewed.

This is my last prayer, only You can save my soul. He is alive, I have to let Him in.
This is my hope, I’m dead to this world.
I can’t go on living on my own... living on my own... living on my own.

Please save my soul...
I am reborn, my soul renewed. I am forgiven. From shadows to substance. Oh...

5. Threnody

I still remember how your eyes would light mine, and how you could make my heart feel alive.
I am afraid that you’ll flee from the fire and disappear in a faded book of dreams...

So do I stand alone? Do I stand alone?
When you awake I’l be a memory. Is this my threnody?
I dream of every way I can hold you in my arms.
When you awake I will be another memory. Is this my threnody?
When you awake I will be another memory. Is this my threnody?

I still remember how your eyes could light mine and how I could feel the truth through your skin.
I’m so afraid that it’s killing me. Is everything I said taken to heart? So what is real?

Don’t speak, you’ll only make me die inside. I can’t leave this alone.
Don’t speak, you’ll only have to lie through your smile. I want you to myself.

Please know I meant every last word I said and tonight I will dream of going home.
When you awake I will be another memory. Is this my threnody?
When you awake I will be another memory. Is this my threnody?

6. Martyrdom

Silence is my only weapon against your lies,
piercing my skin like needles, poison into my blood,
ripping and tearing my own world down to this.

Silence, wasting away as you burn inside. I am hoping for this to pass into the night.
There is no relief from the rage that lives in my eyes.

You are not a martyr. You’re the same as the rest.
I can see right through you, and I’m not impressed.

And as you walk away in anger, your failure only grows stronger.
Did you think you could just walk away? Yaah...

I won’t (I won’t) let you (let you) neglect (neglect) your faith (your faith).
Do you (do you) hear Him (hear Him) calling you?

Is this want you wanted to be? Lost in a world of insincerity? I can see no method at all.

Silence is my only weapon against your lies. Silence is all you will hear.

You are not a martyr. You’re the same as the rest.
I can see right through you, and I’m not impressed.

7. You're Not Going To Seduce Anyone

I know who you really are. Your disguise is not fooling me.
And I’ll rip the mask from your face, exposing the coward within.

Slither around like a serpent, preying on the innocent.
Spit your venom somewhere else. They have had enough of you.

Take heed of this warning I give to you. Take heed of this warning I give to you...
Ooh... You wear your mask to hide from yourself.

I stand here watching you fall away. There is no escape! [x2]

Wipe that smile off your face, this is not a game. There are souls at stake.
Spit your venom somewhere else. They have had enough of what you have to say.
Wipe that smile off your face, this is not a game. There are souls at stake.
And I will live to watch you burn. And I will live to watch you burn.

Fallen, defeat, you have lost again.

I know who you really are. Your party has come to an end.
Slither around like a serpent, preying on the innocent.
Spit your venom somewhere else. They have had enough of you.

But I will pray for you, you are not alone. I am still right here.
I am not afraid of what you’ve become.
So take my hand, I will lift you up. I am not afraid of what you’ve become.

But if you refuse, and this has to end... with my hands around your throat I will
squeeze until there’s nothing left, to protect the innocent. You won’t seduce anyone.

8. This Is The Day, The Mourning

This is the day, the mourning. I’ve learned to let it go.
I’m calling on my Savior to help me through this hell.

When I’m asleep, all I want is to know I’m not alone.
I see the day, the hour, I’m falling on your soul.
I’m calling on You now to help me through. Help me through... help me through.
This isn’t over now, I know it all comes true. Will I make it through?

There was my only problem. Take my heart, take it down.
With my own promise tear me down, lift me up. Brittle reaction.

This the day, the mourning. I’ve learned to let it go.
I’m calling on You now to take me down. Take me down... take me down.
Calling You to take me down. I’m calling, take me down.

I have been holding on... (I’ve been holding on...)
I have been holding on for... (dear life) ...dear life.

This is the day, the mourning. I’ve learned to let it go.
I’m calling on my Savior to help me through...

Take all my emotions, I don’t want them anymore.
Take me down as You lift me higher. Cleanse me with Your fire.
Tear me down as You lift me higher. Kill my desire.
Take me down, lift me higher. Cleanse me with Your fire.

9. Interlude

[Instrumental]

10. Epilogue

This is my nightmare. This is my dream.
A part of me has died. Where is all... all my hope? Where is home?

This is how the world ends. This is how it burns.
I can’t see, I have been blinded. I don’t know where I even belong.
My heart shatters into this, deep into the night. I don’t know where I am going.

Lift this veil, take my hand, guide me to nothing.
I wait for this, darkness has already won. Where will I go when all of my love is gone.

Pick up the pieces, throw them against the wall.
Pick up the pieces, reassemble my fall.
Pick up the pieces, throw me against the wall.

Where is my hope now that I know this?
Falling deeper into this tragedy that I will never be out.
Everywhere I look is dying... All I have left is withering.

What have I done? What have I become? (There is...)
What have I done? (...nothing...) What have I done? (...left of me.)
What have I done? (There is nothing...) What have I become?
What have I done? (There is nothing left.) A part of me has died.
