due to those things   beyond all conrol   i sit in the darkness   observing the lull   and now i can never    go back to that place   what good is my pride   with these scars on my face      there's no way of knowing what lurks in the night   no way to back once you enter the light    life as we know it   will cease to exist    life as we know it will cease to exist         dwell in the darkness feel the evil in the air   emotions run rampant and no one seems to care    i laughed when i face it now i cry on my knees   faced with the anguish of all that i see         there's no way of knowing what lurks in the night   no way to back once you enter the light    life as we know it   will cease to exist    life as we know it will cease to exist      still and quiet my heart it grows old   drained of all life, my body withers old   no need for emotions no fear of the unknown   quietly treading where no ones ever gone      no need for emotions no fear of the unknown   quietly treading where no ones ever gone      alone and tired i lay down to die   the trail grows over but i dont dare try   accosted of innocents, lies do cut deep   a deed so soulless, never awaken from sleep
