I came into this world looking for suspects To hear what I had to say Innocence can go so far Think you're close, but you're so far away Chorus: I'm born into this world I'm facing traverse They'll try to cut me down No I can't wait to die x2 Well I called and I called but no response No answer in the dark I've been looking for justice in this town, but no No justice here to be found Chorus So tired of slaving from day to day How would you feel if your god abandoned you and me I can't live with myself in this crisis we're in But I don't fear death, I only accept it Chorus
3.
There are those who seek fortune There are those who wander the earth searching for treasure A never ending search There are those encased in darkness There are those with blinded eyes Searching on their hands and feet now They're feeling their demise PreChorus: Well I say, let them see The illuminators will set them free Chorus: Stuck in a world with a tragedy like this A concrete wall between The people and their bliss The Illuminators Will set them free The Illuminators Will set them free Trying harder each time We're digging in the soil How do we find diamonds In this wasteland so soiled These walls are paper thin And I can hear every word Your death will surely come Struck by your own sword PreChorus Chorus In time they'll come, we'll learn That we have been doing it wrong In time, they'll go, we're lost We must always remember their call Chorus 2x

Failure to compromise Gets you nowhere in life my dear So get back to your work and stop talking off my ear Shortcuts are always fun 'til they leave us stranded and dead You listen to your own thoughts and not a damn word we said So get back to work now Chorus: I told you once I told you twice You got to play nice I told you once I told you twice Doin' what you do never got you far in life 2x You've tried it before Your oh so notorious schemes What was that statement oh how bitchy it seems Cryin' from time to time Begging for our attention But don't think we look past your ambitious pretension So Get back to work now Chorus
5.
Her physique makes me weak Impressively tall But only 5' 3" But those high heels are making you appear like you just belong But those high heels are making you appear like you just belong She's so sweet on my lips When she moves graceful hips But the devil resides in those eyes with the lies she told me But the devil is fine just if i could let her hold me Chorus: She's everything I've wanted and everything I've hated all my life But I'll tell you my friend I'm giving in tonight She likes to dance 4x She took me to a night club, and I'm hypnotized She knew that I was hungry so she fed my eyes As the night got longer, I saved her life She dragged me under cover and thanked me twice She wrote a little letter saying goodbye Now I'll never feed those little hungry eyes But the devil resides in those eyes with the lies she told me But the devil is fine just if i could let her hold me Chorus She likes to Dance 4x She likes to Dance 4x But not anymore..

Make yourself cry Cuz I won't do it for you You said you'd die but I can't prove it to you I know you lie But I can't hear it, i can't hear it no Cuz I'm a trapped fool in a story, a story that's not my own These eys see beautiful colors trusting all the lights Don't lead me into picture Don't lead me into the night I know you're there But I can't feel you, I can't feel you no Cuz I'm a trapped fool in a story, a story that's not my own

You hate me for the me that you imagined in your head And the ones who stand with you say I’d be better off dead But there’s nowhere else to roam If my feet aren’t on these grounds Because the sky isn’t opening up for me Cuz I’m not going now Stranger things have happened than simple abductions Remember that pathetic excuse of an introduction I’ve seen her eyes Oh how they shine But your eyes are evil SO DON’T LOOK INTO MINE A differing opinion is not an illness, stop acting like it is Life’s too short to blame the weak, it’s not the apocalypse You’ve got it all figured out, or at least that's what you say But your mind is filled with illusions, illusions that you've made It's scary to think that you're all alone in this desolate cold Scary to think you're the only one in this abandoned hole The snow is falling, the creatures are crawling, hunting for your heart Their eyes are evil, and this is war...
9.
Blind lead the blind see the sunrise but it doesn't rise right Let the light melt the mold Blind lead the blind see the sunrise but it doesn't rise right Part from the stories we're sold Chorus: We can't follow Never take The path you left behind This life (is) Nothing (when you're) Drowning Underneath your world Lines, fall in line Follow the hidden evil Hatred will take its toll Lines, fallen line Shadows lend destruction Let go, the hatred we hold Chorus Everything stops but life repeats, life repeats Close those eyes and accept defeat, accept defeat 2x
10.
Trading wicked past times To heal the loss of those lives Saving life from those lines Hides the light from those blind Quiet are the humble Who survived the struggle Oh, how the blood will last Finally the Winter's passed
