He rides hard through the city of lies, past the filth, the disgrace, all there's to despise. Trying hard not to catch their stare, head down, guard up, a victim of despair. His mission's strong, objectives clear, find the culprits and cut them ear to ear. This ends tonight... that much is clear. What happens when a lover's forced to fight? Will two wrongs make this right? Not rhetorical, just historical martyrs are made here tonight. They took his flesh, they took his soul, so now his actions are beyond control. Rage knows no calm... no calm. Look to the back to avoid the attack, and brace yourself for initial contact, it's coming, and there's nothing you can do. You've slipped these chains for far too long, praying on the weak though you are strong. It's here, and now you'll pay. Pay with what you claim to be your life, suffer my pain, and suffer my knife. Reap exactly what you've sown, as an end comes to what you know. It's here, it's finally here. And there's nothing... there's nothing... there's nothing you can do.

"You shut your mouth when you're listening to me, I don't need no sorry advice, The words fall like a tattered book, when your silence would suffice, Another fool with too much time, no knowledge of what they speak, But still you feel the need to unconstructively critique, We're all running in the wrong direction, We're in the dark to what you know, But maybe you're missing the point, Like a blind man shooting from a crooked crossbow, Reserving, deserving, but never quite observing, the whole damn point of it all, The mouth moves but there's nothing to hear except the pride before your fall, Don't get me wrong, you might be right, opinion is more than welcome here, But leave your ignorance at home, and pull your head from your fucking rear, We're all running in the wrong direction, We're in the dark to what you know, But maybe you're just plain wrong, Like a loaf of bread trying to play the scarecrow, So now you stand, with nothing to say and no witty comeback, You've overestimated your abilities, not to mention my tact, If you're whats left you can't be right, so let's open up your mind, Who knows what we'll learn? Who knows what we might find, We're all running in the wrong direction, We're in the dark to what you know, But maybe you should keep your tongue still, Cause to me your words mean precisely... zero.

The words fall from your mouth like litter in the wind, the feeble ramblings of a fool. If you could only see past discrepancy, you'd find so much more to me, so much more to me. So now you look at me with such pitty in your eyes, a gift I never have asked for. If you could only see past my agony, you'd find so much more to me, so much more to me. I welcome you with a warm embrace, to peel my flesh and wear my face, show me how wrongs make a right, and use those eyes to give me sight. Listen intently and tell me why, your hands are that much cleaner than mine. Pull me closer and breathe me, We're both the same beneath the skin. I am your faith. I am your pain. I am your sorrow, and a place for your blame. There's that much more to me.

A brief moment of clarity, Comes so suddenly, You're right here beside me, You're all I want to see, You're all I want to see. If you can't find the words, Then just sing me a song, Of love and forgiveness, Of all I want to be, Of all want to be. How'd I end up this way? I don't know. I don't know. But promise me you'll stay all the same. I'll tell you a story of death and no glory, Of how I made my name, Of how I earned my shame. Of how I earned my shame.

The Corridor 07:28
This corridor holds the room that keeps your secrets, I swear I'll keep them, so don't deceive me. Each room holds something I've never seen before, With so much to adore, I don't know where to start. As I wander these halls alone, I forsake my own so you'll keep me in. Lock me away and keep me from this world outside, Envelope me, this is where I need to be. Shelter me, feed me, cleanse me and teach me the ways in which you perceive your world to be. Come and lie to me. We're all alone, so be calm and let me breathe you in. While the world outside wastes away, with each passing day this place grows. Love is too weak a word, for the embrace, for the warmth it gives to me. As I wander these halls alone, I forsake my own so you'll keep me in. Lock me away and keep me from this world outside, Envelope me, this is where I need to be. Shelter me, feed me, cleanse me and teach me the ways in which you perceive your world to be. Come and lie to me. We're all alone, so be calm and let me breathe you in. Without the comfort of your walls, I'm a child among the tall. Gazing on the Giants helpless to reliance. Oh I'll never leave. Without the safety of your gates, In comes everything I hate. Fighting for a cause of a thought without a pause. Oh I'll never leave. Without the sweetness of the noise, reminding me the worthlessness of poise. Fighting for steady, I'll never be ready, To leave this place. Without the ghosts of the shame, I'll be haunted to the grave, So keep me your prisoner, your servant, your listener. You're all I need. Shelter me, feed me, cleanse me and teach me the ways in which you perceive your world to be. Come and lie to me. We're all alone, so be calm and let me breathe you in.

It's oh so hard to see, who you're stepping on, When your head's surrounded by the clouds. We all must look so insignificant, if you care to look at all. Is it really worth the worship, when all they speak are blasphemies? Is the proof sacred, when it's affirmation of yourself? Looking down on me, do you perceive? The ones beneathe those feet are keeping you too the ground, and holding you steady. Thought the sun shines so brightly for you, you're frozen, you're cold, To the warmth of the sun. The cry is so hard to ignore, you claim the depth of the sea. If only those oceans were filled by screams of agony. Fear not my dear, there's plenty of glasses to fill. And a desperate man will lap at stagnant waters. Looking down on me, do you perceive? The ones beneathe those feet are keeping you too the ground, and holding you steady. Thought the sun shines so brightly for you, you're frozen, you're cold, To the warmth of the sun If you cover your eyes and plug your ears, will that shield you from all you fear? No. I don't think so. And though you may think you're one of a kind, if you never look you'll never find another fool, oblivious to it all. And though you may think you got a cause to believe, I must stop and plead naive. So stamp your feet and fall to the ground, cause the earth won't crack and you won't drown. You won't drown. Looking down on me, do you perceive? The ones beneathe those feet are keeping you too the ground, and holding you steady. Thought the sun shines so brightly for you, you're frozen, you're cold, To the warmth of the sun.

All I ever heard. Was the sound of a strangers voice. And all I ever knew, was compassion from each breathes words. While my thoughts went to a place unknown, and quiet unkind. There he was, the nameless faceless man, who never knew his worth. Or what he's worth to me. The Good Samaritan. He never asked for thanks, no he never asked for much. But know that in all of years I could never forget you. You're the strength I long to be. While my thoughts went to a place unknown, and quiet unkind. There he was, the nameless faceless man, who never knew his worth. Or what he's worth to me. The Good Samaritan. Thought I was forsaken, But I was mistaken, As I often am. There he was, the nameless faceless man, who never knew his worth. Or what he's worth to me. The Good Samaritan.

As I sail out to the raging storm at ocean, I see streams flowing down. The water carries so many screaming bodies, so adamant this is their path. But how can that be see, why can't you see? It was made long before your time. Just another empty vessel, caught a float this one way ride. The water knows no emotion, as it washes you ashore. The water knows no emotion, as it rides you raw. I ride out the storm, I ride out the unforgiving rain til I reach my destination. I've lost my way to this place a hundred hopeless times, and I'll lose it - thousand more. I'll pave these streets I'll build this city, then I'll leave it in all alone. Just another empty vessel, caught a float this one way ride. The path knows no emotion, as it leads you astray. The path knows no emotion, only discord and dismay. We're all just empty vessels waiting to be forfilled. So be careful when you close your mind. Pour it in. Pour it in. There's no substance for your kind. We're all just empty vessels.

I am the stranger who you never thought to meet. I will infect your thoughts and make you incomplete. I'll prove the ones before were oh so weak. I'll rip your mind apart but I'll be so discreet.
