Dreams Die Young

If I go down – No regrets

I take a sip with my last breath

Another thing to not confess

Everything I’ll forget

Another life, another day

Must continue on my way

Bring tomorrow to me today

Show the plague that has kept me in dismay

No last chance means there’s no chance

Standing still but time won’t wait

Getting harder to find a way

Losing ground, drifting astray

Seems the end has been said, there is nothing left

No last chance means there’s no chance

Why try to be what can not be

A make believe reality that thrives

As your love starts to die

And if any hope can survive

Hear the last of my cries

Losing reason to try

Every last dream has died

Bound to the Stake

She was a little girl inside

But not seen from the outside

No love that she could ever find

Deprived of those to be by her side

Not a chance to be

For her fortune was made believe

Always forced to see

Something she didn’t want to see

Why can’t she carry on this way?

Made to do as the others say

Don’t seem so natural to her

No more in the eyes of the villagers

No one’s little prize

In her presence they always cried

Something’s wrong inside

We must reveal the witch tonight

Bound to the stake

There’s no escape

She led life her way

And left them afraid

Bound to the stake

Now it’s too late

They chose her fate

Death is on the way

A must that she’ll be confessing

The witchfinder is pressuring

Innocence is not what he seeks

Torture easily breaks the weak

There’s no time to waste

All she needs is some time to prove

It’s all a mistake

Not a witch like has been accused…

Bound to the stake

There’s no escape

She led life her way

And left them afraid

Bound to the stake

Now it’s too late

They chose her fate

Death is on the way

Witch Trail

It’s been a long way here

I’m still nowhere near

Nothing’s coming clear

So why remain sincere?

Life wasting away

Lose another day

Before I drift astray

…Find a way to make it out of here

Not sure where I am

Was this part of the plan

It’s hard to understand

Sinking in the sand

Time keeps passing by

Light dims in the sky

The lower I descend

The closer that it brings me to the end

It’s getting harder to pretend

Clouded fog veils my descent

I need to find a way to make it meant

Can we make it to the other side

No matter how hard that we try

Will we ever reach the other side

Continue and we’re losing stride

Speeding closer to the end of time

It won’t be long before we die

From here it looks like there is no reprise

Life is stalling on the witch’s trail

Hear her calling but it’s getting frail

Keep on crawling down the witch’s trail

Something will be done

Long down the trail, hard to believe

All the things that could have been

Never known, never to be

What has passed us by so lucently

Now content I’ve learned to see

Everything was not for me

Life has stopped here on the witch’s trail

The last call was getting much too frail

Stop on crawling down the witches trail

All is said and done

Ahhh

Where to run?

Lost the sun

Don’t you dare

All is fair

Midnite Hour

A horse storms backwards into town

Glowing bright without a sound

Takes whatever can be found

As it storms through the streets

To prey on children’s dreams

Lose your daughter, hear her scream

An unfortunate display

What’s gone wrong, why’s it this way?

Hard to comprehend this fate

Should have known it was too late

Now they’ve taken everything

Nothing left, not even faith

Midnite hour is drawing near

Time has come for all to fear

Never thought it could be real

Terror salient all around

Burning promise to the ground

To forever haunt the town

An unfortunate display

What’s gone wrong, why’s it this way?

Hard to comprehend this fate

Should have known it was too late

Now they’ve taken everything

Nothing left, not even faith

As the sun sets to the ground

Shrouded mist moves through the town

Something’s coming, hear the sound

Lightning crashing through the trees

Try to hide but you can’t leave

No way out you join the screams

Shit

An unfortunate display

What’s gone wrong, why’s it this way?

Hard to comprehend this fate

Should have known it was too late

Now they’ve taken everything

Nothing left, not even faith

Young and Hungry

A youthful struggle has come to be

The time is now for all to see

So make your fortune come true

And go fulfill your need

You've had this dream all of your life

The time is now to end your strife

Head down the path you choose

The time has come

We are calling out

We're shouting out

Will we be heard

We are young and hungry

An ultimatum has come to be

What was envisioned now perceived

Nothing was laid out for you

So carry on your way

Someone suggests the way to you

You got your own, you'll see it through

And as you rise from below

Resilience starts to cure

Out on your own there is no time to lose

- Make your move

Out in the night your hunger grows profuse

We are calling out

We're shouting out

Will we be heard

We are young and hungry

I had a dream all of my life

It ended now I lost the fight

Nothing will ever come true

We're out of time (shit)

We are calling out

We're shouting out

Will we be heard

We are young

Conjure the Mass

I have seen a life before

In a dream, left wanting more

Better than the life today

There has got to be a way

Then I stumbled to her door

Where inside she showed me more

Luring passion, altering ways

Using magic to create

Conjure the mass – Up from the past

They know in time we’ll never last

Conjure the mass – The spell is cast

Don’t think we’ll ever make it back

In her lair I searched for more

Found what I was looking for

Shown the way to restore fate

Sounding dreams reincarnate

It was in the kiln I saw

Beyond a doubt without a flaw

I no longer have to prey

New beginnings start to raise

Conjure the mass – Up from the past

They know in time we’ll never last

Conjure the mass – The spell is cast

Don’t think we’ll ever make it back

I have learned so I should flee

But she stands in front of me

Icy stare won’t let me leave

In her dress and in her awe

Obvious she had no flaw

Something’s coming over me

Will she ever set me free?

Conjure the mass – Up from the past

They know in time we’ll never last

Conjure the mass – The spell is cast

Don’t think we’ll ever make it back

Chained Up in Chains

I’ve seen you for so long

Attraction growing strong

I dream of you but you don’t see me through

You make my perverse stare

And my temptations flare

No one has ever stung me like you do

You think you’re going home

No chance you’ll be alone

A secret lover stalks you like prey

I have held on long

It almost seems you’re gone

You really should come back here to stay

How can you do this to me?

Chained up in chains under the moonlight

I’m trying hard to make it alright

She’ll never make it out here all night

No other, blinded by her sight

You crossed me in the dark

It really left a mark

Still without the nerve to try you

It always hurts to see

You cause a cut so deep

I’m going mad, I need you to see…

And now it won’t be long

You’ll figure out what’s wrong

It’s so much easier without you

But longing is my way

I’ll wait another day

I only hope you come back to stay…

Why does she do this to me?

Chained up in chains under the moonlight

I’m trying hard to make it alright

She’ll never make it out here all night

No other, blinded by her sight

I want to let you know

There lessons won’t be learned

It doesn’t matter how

Many times you’re burned

This has gone on too long

You’re stuck down on your knees

You’ll never make it back

You’re trapped in this disease

Chained up in chains under the moonlight

I’m trying hard to make it alright

She’ll never make it out here all night

No other, blinded by her sight

I wish you’d stay here in the moonlite

You’d make me feel like it is alrite

Forever with me here in the nite

To always have you here in my site

Fermenting Enchantress

I haven’t seen these gleaming eyes before

Enchanting stare leaves me wanting more

How did she plant the seed so deep within

Ongoing charm, to ferment we begin

As we ferment it gets harder to see

Everything that’s caused us misery

We’ll conjure up infectious brews beneath

To dwell I’m sent, so peaceful and content

To disguise the ill abscess

On a quest not certain to be blessed

As we try to retain our last breath

Feel the squeeze, fermenting enchantress

As we ferment it gets harder to see

Everything that’s caused us misery

Deep root within – Too long to revend

All is content, fermenting till the end

To disguise the ill abscess

On a quest not certain to be blessed

As we try to retain our last breath

Feel the squeeze, fermenting enchantress

Now it’s going to start to sink you down

Pouring in on you from all around

No way to help you once you go down

Enchantress

Answer the calling every time

Catch me I’m falling from the sky

On a trip not certain to come home

Swept into the dream that is no more
