Sometimes you"re feeling anger
Sometimes you feel control
You"re calling
One thought, I hear no sounds
You"re screaming
Your last breath closing down
When you"re reaching out
When you feel the pain
Every picture tells the story
But it"s only you who knows
The reason for my being
This is my finest hour
Will you take my hand?
Look into my eyes
Say one word, be mine to own
Can you feel my breath?
Upon your face
Don"t resist, your time has come to die
When the fighting stops
When the heartbeat fades
Squeezing out life"s last breath
The time has come to die
The reason for my being
This is my finest hour
As you"re screaming out
Try to take control
Don"t resist, she had to go
You know she had to die
No more in sunshine, the darkness inside
Sweet isolation, my conscience to hide
I"m still holding on
The ink tells the tale, though images fade
Mocking my senses, decisions I"ve made
I"m still holding on
It"s all there for the world to see
Playing out on my skin
Is there nothing more to say?
Now you"ve stripped my soul away
Fight for the freedom to live life alone
One voice to guide me, a heart made of stone
I"m still holding on
Heavy the burden you place upon me
Hiding the guilt, one day yours to set free
I"m still holding on
Witness all your depravity
Looking out through your eyes
Watching helpless from afar
Know the darkness in your heart
Let me live my life again
Bring this nightmare to an end
Make me whole again
Memories, of the silent time
Once voice here, to guide my life
Too late, have I got the strength?
Fighting, but is it too late?
My hands caress your face
Wide eyes, white skin
You know you"ve reached the end
Reach up, reach up your hand
My work has just begun
No time to play
Swift work the surgeon"s blade
Create my gift to you
Creative urge comes from within
It"s in my soul, it"s on my skin
This is my gift, I give to you
My legacy, it"s for the world
To see
See life"s blood flowing down
I feel, you feel
Laid out in symmetry
Displayed for all to see
So far
With this yearning of release now
How long?
Till my conscience finds a peace
And now the end is closer
What can I do?
How can I stop the hurting?
This is for you
To stop this fallen angel
To take his life
Yes I know
Take the path
In your step
You"re leading me on
You know I have to do this
No need for tears
No words can stop this feeling
Or soothe those tears
Taking you back
Taking you back
Sunshine, run free
No more dark days
No more fears
Chase them away
You stand by me
Friend, brother, a voice to guide me
Lead our lives
Leading the way
You have stood by me
But now you see
You have no will
Time stands so still
I see the way
This is my day
My gift to you
Here I am
I am reaching out
Still holding on
Where"s the love we used to share?
Oh no, what have you done?
The reason for our being
Is this our finest hour?
I can see the way
The only path
Nothing left, we leave no trace
As you raise your hand
Watch the final spark
Can"t resist, the time has come to die
We stand hand in hand
Speak the sins until the flames forgive
Time to face the truth
Darkness, lead us to peace
True love
