1. The Root Of All Evil

Proud enough for you to
Call me arrogant
Greedy enough to be laid from the feet???
Angry enough for me to
Go and hurt a man
Cool enough for me to feel your greed

Never could have just a part of it
I always knew more???
Getting it down to the heart of it
For who would believe all has been running my whole life

Dirty enough for me to last
Leaving nothing left to trust
Counting up to still feel envious
Lazy enough to sleep all day
And let my life just waste away
Selfish enough to make you wait for me

Travelling blindly???
Mislead so easily
??? have to leave it be when
I'm begging to break free

Take all of me, the desires
That keep burning deep inside
Cast them all away
And help to give me strength
To face another day
I am ready
Help me be
What I can't be

Selfcentered fear
Has got a hold me
Clutching my throat
Selfrighteous anger
??? all to me
Ready to explode

Go cross the nation
Paralyzing me
Wanting me dead
These??? to me

Help to deal for me what I can't do myself
Take this tear and pain
I can't break out of this prison all alone
Help break these chains

???
Now my only hope
Won't you take and love me
Heal this dying soul

I can feel my body breaking
I can feel my body breaking
I'm ready to let it all go
I can feel my body shaking
Wrapped into the foundation
The root of it all

Take all of me that is???
that keep burning deep inside
Cast them all away
And help to give me strenght
To face another day
I am ready
Help me be
What I can't be
I am ready
Come to me
Take me away

2. The Answer Lies Within

Look around
Where do you belong
Don't be afraid
You're not the only one

Don't let the day go by
Don't let it end
Don't let a day go by, in doubt
The answer lies within

Life is short
So learn from your mistakes
And stand behind
The choices that you make

Face each day
With both eyes open wide
And try to –-> queue
Don't keep it all inside

Don't let the day go by
Don't let it end
Don't let a day go by, in doubt
The answer lies within

You've got the future on your side
You're gonna be fine now
I know whatever you decide
You're gonna shine

Don't let the day go by
Don't let it end
Don't let a day go by, in doubt
you're ready to begin

Don't let a day go by, in doubt
The answer lies within

3. These Walls

This is so hard for me
to find the words to say
my thougths are standing still

captive inside of me
all the motions start to hide
and nothing is getting through

watch me fading and losing
all my instincts – falling into darkness

tear down these walls for me
stopping from going under
you are the only one who knows i'm holding back

it's not too late for me
to keep from sinking further
i'm trying to find my way out
tear all these walls for me now

so much uncertainty
i don't like this feeling
i'm sinking like a stone
each time I try to speak
there's a voice I'm hearing
and it changes everything

watch me crawl from the
wreckage of my silence
conversations failing

everytime you choose to turn away
is it worth the price you pay
is there someone who will wait for you
one more time – one more time

4. I Walk Beside You

There's a story in your eyes
I can see the hurt behind your smile
For every sign I recognize
Another one escapes me

Let me know what plagues your mind
Let me be the one to know you best
Be the one to hold you up
When you feel like you're sinking

Tell me once again
What's beneath the pain you're feeling
Don't abandon me
Or think you can't be saved

I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you

Summon up your ghost for me
Rest your tired thoughts upon my hands
Step inside this sacred place
When all your dreams seem broken

Let's remain inside this temple
Let me be the one who understands
Be the one to carry you
When you can walk no further

Tell me once again
What's below the surface bleeding
If you've lost your way
I will take you in

I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you

Oh, when everything is wrong
Oh, when hopelessness surrounds you
Oh, the sun will rise again
The time you sweep against will carry you back home
So don't give up
Don't give in

I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you

5. Panic Attack

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

No strong hope for redemption
A grave situation desperate at best

Why do I feel so numb?
Has 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

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

Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

6. Never Enough

Cut myself open wide
(B)reach inside
Help yourself
To all I have to give
And then you help yourself again
And then complain
That you didn't like the way
I put the knife in long
You didn't like the the way
My blood spilled on your Brand New Floor
What would you say
If I walked away?
Would you appriciate?
But then it'd be too late
'cos i can only take so much
Of your ungrateful ways
Everything is never enough

Sacrifice my life
Neglect my kids and wife
All for you to be happy
All those sleepless nights
And countless fights
To give you more
And then you say how dare that
I didn't want you back
I must be too good for you
I only care about myself

What would you say
If I walked away?
Would you appriciate?
But then it'd be too late
'cos i can only take so much
Of your ungrateful ways
Everything is never enough

What would you say
If I walked away?
Would you appreciate?
But then it'd be too late
'cos i can only take so much
Of your ungrateful ways
Everything is never enough

7. Sacrificed Sons

Walls are closing anxiously
Channel surfing frantically
Burning city, smoke and fire
Planes, we're certain.
Faith inspired?

No clues a complete surprise
Who'll be coming home tonight?

Heads are turning towards the sky
Towers crumble, heroes die

Who would wish this on our people?
And proclaim that his will be done
scriptures say he had misled them
All praise their sacrificed sons
All praise their sacrificed sons

Teach them what to think and feel
Your ways saw in lightening
Watch them preach I can't relate
It cuts true love,?? of hate

Who would wish this on our people?
And proclaim that his will be done
scriptures say he had misled them
All praise their sacrificed sons
All praise their sacrificed sons

God on high
A mistake
Will mankind
Be extinct

There's no time
Time to waste
Who serves the truth
For heaven's sake?

8. Octavarium

Part I

(инструментал)

Part II

I never wanted to become
Someone like him
So secure
Content to live each day
Just like the last
I was sure I knew
That this was not for me
And I wanted so much more
far beyond what I could see
So I swore that I'd never be someone like him

So many years have passed since I proclaimed
My independance, my mission, my aim and my vision
So secure
Content to live each day
Like it's my last
It's wonderful to know
That I could be
Something more than what I dreamed
Far beyond what I could see
Still I swear that I'm missing out this time

As far as I could tell
Theres nothing more I need
But still I ask myself
Could this be everything?
That all I swore
That I would never be
Was now so suddenly
The only thing I wanted
To become
To be someone just like you

Part III

A doctor sitting next to me
He asked 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 them 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

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?

Part VI

Sailing on the
Seven seas the
day tripper
DM's ready

Jack the Ripper
Always?Wilson Phillips?
and my
Supper's ready

Lucy in the
Sky with diamond
Day's not here
I've come to save the

Day for nightmare
Cinema show
Me the way to
Get back home again

Spinning round and round
Scream without a sound
Stumbling all around
Find I've come full circle

Hand of
With careful with

Out a
Eugene
Gene that
This machine messiah
Light my
Fire

Hey, hey

Generations home again

Spinning round and round
Scream without a sound
Stumbling all around
Find I've come full circle

Part V

(инструментал)

Part VI

First
Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath
Remove all obstacles from our path
Second
Asking questions, search for clues
The answer's been right in front of you

Third
We try to break through, long to connect
We fall on death ears with failed muted breath
Fourth
Loyalty, trust, faith in desire
Carries love through each darkest fire

Fifth
Tortured insanity, smothering hell
Try to escape but to no avail
(Sixth
They call them admirers, claim they adore
Drain all your life blood but begging for more

Seventh
Innocent phantoms for merciless crimes
I'll pray to some madness for repulsive designs
Eighth
Step out of step and try controlling my fate
When you finally start living it's become to late

Trapped inside this octavarium
Trapped inside this octavarium
Trapped inside this octavarium
Trapped inside this octavarium

Part VII

We move in circles
Balanced all the while
On a gleaming razor's edge

A perfect stand
Colliding with our fate
This story ends where it began

Part VIII
