Time To Die (2006)

You have crossed the line
Your suicide, the final ride
You ignored the signs
A helpless fight it ends tonight
Your souls traveling on…

All the twisted things you've done
You thought you had the master plan
Now it's all caught up to you
And still you wonder why
I can see right through you brother
You're not fooling anyone
Now you pay the final price
It's time for you to die, it’s time for you to die

Time is all but out
Death calls to you, what can you do
Try to form a lie to buy some time
So you can run and hide
And beg and plead before the lord
You'll be on your knees

All the twisted things you've done
You thought you had the master plan
Now it's all caught up to you
And still you wonder why
I can see right through you brother
You're not fooling anyone
Now you pay the final price
It's time for you to die, it’s time for you to die

Firefly (2008)

As we live our lives like a flicker of star light
On these battle fields the smell of death is real

In fear of attack in a night cold and black
Show me where I can run
Where no one carries a gun
The enemy lines I'm now caught behind
Favor neither a side
Show me a place I can hide... This firefly

Try to understand this war
Wasn't in my plans... no
The fight for freedom and liberty
Will go on indefinitely... I know

My life, my home is where I belong
Tell me why must this be
An unsolved mystery
Lives have been lost, who's adding the cost
Broken families, left only with memories of fireflies

Now we're facing annihilation, the end to all we know
Devastation soon replacing all we used to grow
Can't you see the power and greed
That's sure to doom us all
They won't rest, now all that's left
Is for the world to fall

Now I can see my opponents as scared as me
I know he feels inside all those things we try to hide

The fighting must cease for the world to have peace
Live and let live I believe
See what it's like to be free
You may just find that somewhere in time
Together we all will be
To live out eternity... as fireflies

Panic Attack (2005)

All wound up  On the edge  Terrified
Sleep disturbed  Restless mind  Petrified
Bouts of fear  Permeate  All I see
Heightening  Nervousness  Threatens me

I am paralyzed So afraid to die

Caught off guard  Warning signs  Never show
Tension strikes  Choking me  Worries grow

Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where I come from
Should this be fight or flight
I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight

Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest
Agitated body in distress
I feel like I'm in danger
Daily life is strangled by my stress

A stifling surge
Shooting through all my veins
Extreme apprehension
Suddenly I'm insane

Lost all hope for redemption
A grave situation desperate at best

Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where I come from
Should this be fight or flight
I don't know why I'm constantly reeling

Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety

Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

II. MEDICATE (Awakening)

A Doctor sitting next to me
He asks me how I feel
Not sure I understand his questioning
He says I've been away a while
But thinks he has cured me
From a state of catatonic sleep

For 30 years
Where have I been
Eyes open
But not getting through to me

Medicate me
Infiltrate me
Side effects appear
As my conscience slips away

Medicate me
Science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can't you stop what's happening

A higher dosage he prescribes
But there's no guarantee
I feel it starting to take over me
I tell him not to be ashamed
There's no one who's to blame
A second shot
A brief awakening

I feel the relapse
Can't break free
Eyes open
But not getting through to me

III. FULL CIRCLE

Sailing on the seven seize the day tripper diem's ready
Jack the ripper Owens Wilson Phillips and my supper's ready
Lucy in the sky with diamond Dave's not here I come to save the
Day for nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home again

Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound

Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place
Only to find I've come full circle

Flying off the handle be careful with
That axe Eugene gene the dance machine
Messiah light my fire gabba gabba
Hey hey my my generation's home again

Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound

Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place
Only to find I've come full circle
