CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED LYRICS

1. Ghost Town

A desolate silence, deaths in the air
Surrounded by pain, a terrified stare
From the dark eyes of hell, a sky black and gray

No hope for life
No hope for today
This ghost town stands
Overwhelmed by decay

Suffering on poisoned ground
Suffering in this ghost town

Dark clouds from above, bring darkness and doom
Effortlessly shattering, what lies in its course
A deafening roar, it feels no remorse

No hope for life
No hope for today
This ghost town stands
Overwhelmed by decay

Suffering on poisoned ground
Suffering in this ghost town

Mother Earth has bestowed their fate
Mercilessly punishing those who desecrate

A lifetime of memories swept away in the dust
Dreams of the innocent lay in ruin and rust
An invisible hunter infecting the unknowing
Man planting seeds that the reaper is sowing

Sad eyes lock upon this town
As they dwell on unclean ground
Mountains of sorrow rising forth
Blood red tears pouring from its source
A shadow of its former self
Sitting at the mouth of hell

Empty roads leading to empty souls
The dark underground swallowing whole
Lives once so fertile now all but lost

No hope for life
No hope for today
This ghost town stands
Overwhelmed by decay

Suffering on poisoned ground
Suffering in this ghost town

2. From The Abyss

You are the one who will never leave me
You are the one who will not deceive me
Guiding me through those years of hate and doubt
When betrayed you held me up throughout

Every word that flows from thought to pen
Carries my pride and pain within
Every note that flows from soul to song
A piece of me is placed where it belongs

Every time I feel my life is lost
Rivers of anguish that you helped me cross
Every memory swimming in my mind
Of an unforsaken place and time

My life once so full of wrath
Walking a dead end path
Holding onto words of hope
You came to save my soul

Every day filled with darkness and rain
You were there to ease my endless pain
Every non- believer laughing in my face
Negative thoughts that you've helped me replace

My soul you've renewed
As I've learned to create you

From the abyss in which I was damned
You rescued me with your healing hands
Each moment in time captured by rhyme
Pieces of life woven in my mind

Every mask I wear when I'm alone
Hides a fear that only few have known
Every pleasure that you bless me with
Writes a story I cannot forget

Every moment now till my last breath
I'll look up to you with no regrets
Inspiration you have given me
Together as one we will always be

My life once so full of wrath
Walking a dead end path
Holding onto words of hope
You came to save my soul

My soul you've renewed
As I've learned to create you

From the abyss in which I was damned
You rescued me with your healing hands
Each moment in time captured by rhyme
Pieces of life woven in my mind

From the abyss in which I was damned
You rescued me with your healing hands
Each moment in time captured by rhyme
Pieces of life woven in my mind

3. Creating Our Machine

Eyes closed memories rushing in
Longing for freedom and the way things were then
No concern for what tomorrow would bring
Working to create our machine

Life is short and time is ever moving
Living for the moment

Fate in our hands
Time's shifting sands
Places we have been
We'll do it all again
Fate in our hands

Times come to leave this place
Venturing into night's cold embrace
Unaware of what lies ahead
Refusing to dwell on that which we dread

Life is short and time is ever moving
Living for the moment

Fate in our hands
Time's shifting sands
Places we have been
We'll do it all again
Fate in our hands

4. Blood On Wood

One decade born into this world
When you become a part of me
Through my ears and into my soul
The thundering rhythm of a life now free

Venting out my frustrations
You're the one, my therapy

Not giving up even when the blood flows
Tearing my skin while the passion grows
Splinters of dedication lay at my feet
Hours of execution I must repeat

Learning from those who inspire me
The masters of their craft
Watching and learning through persistence
My insecurities cut in half

You gave me strength. You gave me focus
You'll always be a part of me

Not giving up even when the blood flows
Tearing my skin while the passion grows
Splinters of dedication lay at my feet
Hours of execution I must repeat

When others abandoned
You were always there
Faithful and unmoving
This life we share

Never judging or crossing
Always waiting for me
You've given me inner peace
I will always believe

Building the courage to sit with you
In front of strangers' watching eyes
Becoming one with you as I grow
My second nature until I die

Surrounding me you stand proudly
Taking over my body

Not giving up even when the blood flows
Tearing my skin while the passion grows
Splinters of dedication lay at my feet
Hours of execution I must repeat

Not giving up even when the blood flows
Tearing my skin while the passion grows
Splinters of dedication lay at my feet
Hours of execution I must repeat

5. In A World So Cruel

Struggling in a world so cruel
Trying hard not to fail
Sometimes making it through the day
Is like walking on nails

Traveling down uncertain highways
Making my way through the haze
Leaving all I've known behind me
Never knowing what I might find

Sitting in a scorching room
Sweating out my pain
The price to pay for devotion
Fire flowing through my veins

Traveling down uncertain highways
Making my way through the haze
Leaving all I've known behind me
Never knowing what I might find

Dreams becoming clearer now
Light shining through the rain
Determination leading me
To the voices singing in my brain

Opportunities I've not missed
Doing what I hope is right
To chase what seemed impossible
But is now within my sight

Traveling down uncertain highways
Making my way through the haze
Leaving all I've known behind me
Never knowing what I might find

Every day leaving scars
Realities they seem so harsh
Lessons learned from my mistakes
My soul it will not break

6. Manifestations

Manifestations of the Supernatural
Seldom seen and seldom heard
Wishful thinking by those who are searching
Willing to look past the absurd

Proof of life
Beyond what lies
Before our frightened eyes
What awaits us when we die
Dark walls that surround my mind

Seeking the unknown in a skeptic world
Finding it all hard to believe
Inviting contact with those around us
Look at the darkness tell me what you see

Proof of life
Beyond what lies
Before our frightened eyes
What awaits us when we die
Dark walls that surround my mind

Manifestations of the Supernatural

Many say they've seen them
I don't believe them
I'm trying hard to find the proof
So scared of what lies
On the other side
Set my mind at ease
Show yourself to me

Proof of life
Beyond what lies
Before our frightened eyes
What awaits us when we die
Dark walls that surround my mind

7. Voices Within The Walls

Within the safety of Four Walls
The Truth now can be told
No secrets need be kept
No longer I withhold

Voices within the walls
Troubles now seem so small
Together we'll not fall
Voices within the walls

Building Our Trust
Building Our Strength
Believing In Ourselves
While others close their eyes we'll see
The path where silence dwells

Closing the door on negativity
The world starts coming down
Shutting off that which harms us
We're silencing the sounds

Voices within the walls
Troubles now seem so small
Together we'll not fall
Voices within the walls

Voices within the walls
Troubles now seem so small
Together we'll not fall
Voices within the walls

Building Our Trust
Building Our Strength
Believing In Ourselves
While others close their eyes we'll see
The path where silence dwells

Making it right when all seems wrong
Uniting now will make us strong
Make us strong
Make us strong

8. The Darkest Eyes

A twisted vision blending into creation
The dark gift weaving an untold rhyme
A fascination with the human complex
Twisting the frames of our delicate minds

Holding our hope and our sanity hostage
A world so alien yet so real
Not straying from their passionate vision
Blending thoughts and fears for others to feel

Look at the darkest eyes
What do you see
Death, Life, Pain and Horror
On our fears they feed

The darkest eyes
Staring back at me
Beyond they rise
Taking my mind willingly

The darkest eyes
They're creating brilliantly
My thoughts baptized
What I've read and what I've seen

Surrounded by the unseen
Infecting our reality
Evil words and deeds
Fulfilling our primal needs

Unspeakable things rising from their pages
Blackening our hearts and disturbing our souls
Descriptions of a future vile and hopeless
Disturbing thoughts now taking hold

Look at the darkest eyes
What do you see
Death, Life, Pain and Horror
On our fears they feed

The darkest eyes
Staring back at me
Beyond they rise
Taking my mind willingly

The darkest eyes
They're creating brilliantly
My thoughts baptized
What I've read and what I've seen

9. Fear In The Sky

Dreading the day that I know will soon come
The only way I can face it is to
Make myself numb
Make myself numb
Approaching the gate that leads me here
Rational thoughts overcome by fear
Overcome by fear
Overcome by fear

Stepping through the threshold a frightened soul
Touching the beast as it swallows me whole
My destiny I can't control

No turning back now all I can do is wait
The skill of one soul now is deciding my fate

Clenching my fist the beast begins to shake
A force of nature how much more can I take
Can I take
Into ominous clouds of black I fly
Falling and turning while young souls cry
Young souls cry

No longer I an in control
I am in control
Closing my eyes not looking below
Not looking below
Hours of emptiness now lie ahead
No turning back
Facing that which I dread

Fear in the Sky
How many times have I tried
To understand
Fate taken from my hands

Why am I here
Why do I fear
It's out of my control
And I feel so alone

I think of those below
As spirits warm my soul
Is it all in my head
This agony I dread

I stand in cold despair
While silent strangers stare
Now hoping for an end
Waiting for my descent

No turning back now all I can do is wait
The skill of one soul deciding my fate

Sinister skies now becoming clear
Ominous thoughts start to disappear
Disappear
Now drawing closer to what makes me whole
I'm once again the one who's in control
In Control

10. Nice Dreams

[Japanese Bonus Track]
[Powermad Cover]

I close my eyes and drift away
The passing of another day
I leave the day's despair behind
In my bed I finally climb

I never know when they will come
And hope tomorrow ain't as long
But I'm running on ice, as you can see
Oh, they want me

They take me to another place
I'm out of hope and time and space
They chase my mind like animals
Chew my flesh like cannibals

Why they take me, I can't see
Oh spare me from this misery
Like a child I fear the night
Save me from these dreams tonight
Nice Dreams.

I close my eyes and drift away
The passing of another day
I leave the day's despair behind
And in my bed I finally climb
Surrealistic nighttime fun

But this is not for everyone
Some they like it, some they don't
Some survive it, some they won't

Why they take me, I can't see
Oh spare me from this misery
Like a child I fear the night
Save me from these dreams tonight
Nice Dreams.
