THOSE EYES

THOSE EYES

Those eyes, I want to turn away from but I can't
Her beautiful eyes have stopped me cold
My pulse increases and I start to pant
Her eyes have touched my soul
I don't know what to do or what to say
Her eyes can make a strong person feel so weak
I look into them and the world seems okay
But I'm still too nervous to even speak
Does she even know the power she has over me
For her honor I would be ready to go to war
I would do that with a sword and shield proudly
Because she it truly worth fighting for
I try to stay cold, I try not to let feelings show
But looking into her eyes all I can do is feel
If she kissed me, I would be lost forever, I know
She makes this dream of life seem so real.

ONE WORD

ONE WORD

You don't know me
Or anything I do
What do you see?
What is your view
I stay quiet
Stay out of trouble
But you want a riot
To burst my bubble
Attacked out of the blue
I did nothing at all
I did nothing to you
So why did you call?
You used a word of hate
Accused me of lies
I question your mental state
When you gave me a suprise
Just one word, a word so vile
That's not me, don't call me that
One word destroyed my smile
And turned my whole world flat
Why do you hate me so?
I did nothing to you
I have anger but I'll let it go
I'll keep my feelings true
I refuse to be swallowed by rage
By what you just said
I'll move on and turn the page
While your face remains red
One word can cut so deep
And bring up an ugly past
Hate makes the future seen bleak
Hopefully it will never last
I refused to be swallowed by it
I accept everyone as they are
My compassion will never quit
We are all children of the stars
The universe lies inside of us
We have so much power inside
Let's unite in a bond of love
And let the word hate shrivel up and die.

ELANIA (ORIGINAL VERSION)

ELANIA (ORIGINAL VERSION)

Before you I didn't know happiness existed
I was alone in this world being devoured by my own hate
A bitter human being, with emotions dark and twisted
You became my reason to smile, to change my own fate
I wanted to die but for you I want to live
Seeing light for once in this place of darkness
It radiates from your smile, the aura you give
I can now see that not everyone is cruel and heartless
I had no emotions, at least that's what I believed
Jaded with everything, putting up a wall of steel
But I look into your beautiful eyes and drop to my knees
You have torn apart that wall and made me feel
Now I know that dreams do come true
No more shall I be a lost tormented soul
You have made me realize that my dream was always you
And for the reason you care about me, you have made me whole.

HER SWEET EMBRACE OF AGONY

HER SWEET EMBRACE OF AGONY

In the darkness she stands, glorious
Calling to me like a beautiful dream
Never defeated in battle, always victorious
She looks so familiar, but I can't remember her name
The face of a goddess, her eyes are as endless as time
Her looks are so deadly, but soothing all the same
This can't be real, this is all happening in my mind
I want to turn away but I can't, it seems
She calls my name and I move close to her
She promises to take away my pain and fear
I see memories of happiness that once were
These streets are so empty, and no one can hear
She grabs me and my chest feels no more pain
I can't breathe, but the agony is so sweet
"Take my hand forever, there will be shelter from the rain"
I follow her into darkness but I'm not moving my feet
It's so dark now, I can't catch my breath
Now I know who she is, I'm in her embrace and it's too late
That name I couldn't remember, her name is death
I'm safe here now, the endless darkness is my fate.

AVERAGE

AVERAGE

I'm not happy or sad
I'm not calm or mad
I don't feel primal or savage
I just feel average

I don't feel like a king with a queen
I don't feel like I'm living the dream
I don't feel like a hero at all
I just feel average as I walk through the mall

I don't feel tired or awake
I'm not in a hurry, I don't want to wait
To be honest, I don't know what to do
I just feel average like the sky is blue.

RESCUE

RESCUE

I'm waiting for you to ease my fears
I can't wait until the day you come here
I'm tired of every day feeling worthless
Feeling like my life is full of nothing but curses
Until you come I belong to the night
Only you can make all my wrongs turn right
I'm being eaten alive by my insecurities That's why I'm waiting for you to rescue me
I don't know where you are or who you could be
But I'm begging you, please rescue me.

A WORLD LIKE THIS

A WORLD LIKE THIS

Not awake, need more sleep
Another start to a long week
There's something I need to do
I need Metal so I can make it through
Another day trapped in a nightmare
In a concrete jungle where people don't care
Here we go, another day in this madness
As mother earth weeps her eternal sadness
Mankind keeps on bleeding her dry
People are oblivious and I wonder why
A dark future is coming, everyone can see
But they keep wishing that it will never be
Positivity can't turn these problems away
Smile all you want, they'll still be here the next day
I'll finally smile when I see the world at peace
When hate and war begins to cease
Until then, don't expect me to be all cheery
When this entire world is dark and bleary
I'm not happy or sad, I merely exist
That's all that can be expected in a world like this.......
