In the dark 05:45
In the dark What are they trying to do? Why are they lying to you? Where does your mind lay? In the dark In the dark When its dark, I’m feeling down When you try, no ones around When I cry you laugh at the sound When I die, In the dark In the dark I don’t know where to turn I couldn’t tell anyone Our little secret, I’m told I’m in the shadows And I’m on the run When your dark, no one knows How could I say let me alone I wanna scream what no one knows When I cry you make sure we’re alone In the dark Your poison heart When your eyes kill And your mind tears I feel so cold When it hurts you do it all the more How could you want me this way If I could would I walk out the door If I told, what would I say About the dark

Lost and found Here I go on my own, looking in from the cold Feeling old, exploding inside with no place to hide You stripped me bare, there’s nothing left, just flesh and bone, a hollow soul, no place to go I’m like a fire, beginning to grow Was it something I said? Am I loosing my head? Is it something about me? That makes you wish that you were free And I… Dead There we go again, lines are drawn on the battle ground Of the lost and found but no ones winning Is that the price you pay? So off you go again with the same old song I did you wrong, but your strong so it won’t be long, before I’m learning. You think I’d crawl back to you? Was it something I said? Did it stick in your head? Because there’s something about me That makes you wish that you were free And I … Dead Here I go, to the very end standing firm on solid ground Were the lost are found, they sing a new song, and sing it out loud You stepped on me so many times, times I lost, lost my mind, Now I find I’m happy outside, I need you no more! Was it something I said? Am I loosing my head? Because there’s something about me That makes you wish that you were free And I dead. Stand by me, truth will set you free Open your mind, love is lost inside Was it something I said? Did I make you see red? Because there’s something about me That makes you wish that you were free And I… Dead.

Sunshine 03:47
Sunshine The first time I saw you I was in love Sunshine, sunshine I looked at your eyes and I was mesmerised Sunshine, sunshine I held on to your hand, you held on to mine Sunshine, your divine And now I know you’re here in my life Everything’s right, you brought back the light I held back the tears, for the first time in years When I saw your face We named you Grace These were the proudest days of my life Sunshine, sunshine They restored faith back into my heart Sunshine, your mine And now I know you’re here in my life Everything’s right, you brought back the light I held back the tears for the first time in years When you took your first breath We named you Seth. Sunshine….

Sojourn 03:28
Sojourn Turn the key, unlock this door Don’t be afraid to ask for more For I will walk this lonely path For I will stand against the wind Turn this life that’s made from stone Turn those eyes and see how you’ve grown For I will stand against this wrong And I will fight for freedom now Open your mind, remove the veil That blinded your heart and made you stale Sojourn. All of your life you’ve been waiting Watching this evil grow The hate and anger, the knife in your hand And the blood on the streets stains your soul Turn your mind into gold Don’t be afraid to set it free For we will walk this lonely path And we can stand against the wind Hold my hand as hell breaks loose Hold your nerve as the devil breaks free For we will stand the fires of hell And we will see justice served Turn the life that you’ve always known Turn from the shroud that you’ve outgrown Sojourn

Feels like dying Did you ever think how my life would be? Have you ever wondered where I am now? Somewhere inside me there’s a wound so deep It was caused by the ones that I needed the most Do you remember me? Or was it too long ago? Did you tell me you loved me, but had to go? Do you remember the child you left that night? Do you ever think of me now I’m out of sight? I’m getting older now, with children of my own I love them with all my heart; I’ll never let them go So how could you leave, the three year old boy That loved his daddy he never got to know I’m not so hard to find, if you want to look Cos this feels like dying, the road you took How can I tell you that I missed you so? I wished you had been with me to watch me grow You hung us out to dry with no way out Removed our memory from your heart Do you ever care about the years gone by? Or is your life complete, no time to cry? How could I love you after all these years? Because the wound inside me will never heal

Christmas lights The cold, damp rain Falls from the grey winter’s sky The dark night creeps in Like the chill in my eye The exaltation to the glittering lights Like the moth is drawn to the flame The shops open late tonight Hoping to draw you in And yet I feel so alone Among the crowd in the night This chill reaches through to my bones There’s no warmth from these winter lights All the years of love together Till the last breath you took that night Your hand slipped away from my hand In the twinkling of Christmas lights Now there’s no one to share my dreams with No gifts to leave by the tree Just the memories left in my heart Of the joy and pain Christmas can bring For all the forgotten people That have no-one with them to say May the good Lord bless you this Christmas And not take your true love away

Changing tide Do you think that you’re the only one? Mother Nature’s lost, forgotten son? Am I just a stubborn guy Learning to fly outta here? Past walls of fear With nothing to lose The light in my eyes And the fight in my heart Is fading fast But I’m not finished yet You’re not the only one You’re not alone my son Can you see a glimmer of light? In this the blackest night? Reach out and touch the sun Get out of bed and run Cos this may be your last chance Don’t let it be the last dance Make your own path Don’t follow the crowd Don’t be a fool go have some fun Learn to live and love someone Before you rot away Catch the waves in a changing tide

Cry for help Deeper I keep falling into a living hell Is there no one who will help me? Is there no one I can tell? But I still call your name My head hung in shame I look at the empty faces But there’s no one I can blame today. Slowly I keep sinking I’m struggling to breathe The walls keep getting higher my senses take their leave But I still call your name My head hung in shame I look at the empty faces Still there’s no one I can blame it on. Can you see me now? Can you hear me call? Do you recognise I’d given it my all? Will you walk away? Turn your back on me? If only you would say, I’ve come to set you free I’ve come to set you free My heart keeps pounding faster my throat is getting dry I’m heading for disaster unless I change before I die But I still call your name My head hung in shame I look at the empty faces But there’s no one I can blame for this Can you see me now? Can you hear me call? Do you recognise I’d given it my all? Will you walk away? Turn your back on me? If only you would say, I’ve come to set you free I’ve come to set you free Can you hear my cry for help? Can you hear my cry? Oh Lord

Torn If you knew me, like I know you we would be just fine We would pass the time, we would be inclined to love again If you could see, what’s in my mind life would be okay You would understand I’m just a boy trapped inside the man I know we said some silent words that tore the cloth That stitched us together, wrapped us up, but now that’s gone So hold on, reach out and hold on me Shout out, open your heart and set yourself free Can’t you see? Life is just a game, caught out in the rain Trapped inside a cage holding back the rage Memories to blame, driving me insane No turning back the time, you know it was a crime To me you were so cruel, treat me like a fool I’m not just anyone, you know I was your son Down the river I go. If you could feel, the pain I feel you would emphasise You would hear my cries you would see the lies that surround your heart If you loved me unconditionally, I could breathe again. I would smile once more; I would see the sun shine down on me But I know we said those silent words that tore the cloth That stitched us together, wrapped us up but now that’s gone So hold on, reach out and call on me Shout out, open your heart and set yourself free Can’t you see?

Chambers of hell ''we have carried out this most difficult task for the love of our people and have taken no defect within us in our soul or in our character" (Heinrich Himmler, 1943) Tears were falling for you my friend A lost frightened child on a train to hell The last stop of life, approaching the gates As the hounds with their guns took your mother away Where was God in that dark desperate night? When you were dragged from your bed Your heart filled with fright. And how could your neighbours treat you this way? To the Devil they sold you as you were taken away How could they look in your eyes and not feel a thing? At the lost frightened child in the chamber of hell You were naked, forsaken, stolen, in pain As the hounds with their guns took your life away For those who survived the hunger and the pain Can still hear the cry in the chambers of hell So hold out your hand, stand in tyrannies way For the children keep singing, let love find its way
