Let it flow right through my heart This hate, igniting me from deep inside Deny your guilt as all your hope departs You're mine, burn your self-made misery All this horror Endless torture Stand up, let your Rebellion rise! All this horror Endless torture Stand up, let your Rebellion rise! Claim your life Don't let your freedom fade away Unite, all of the corners of your mind You've got to stand up and Fight Your fight! All this horror Endless torture Stand up, let your Rebellion rise! All this horror Endless torture Stand up, let your Rebellion rise! Hate me Burn me You cannot hold me down Chain me Break me Can't kill the rebellion! Hate me Burn me You'll never hold me down Chain me Break me Can't kill the rebellion!

Becoming Me 03:11
Ripped my chains out I'm free Air fills my lungs I can breathe I'm alive now Left the dark The cage is burning... Crumbling! Turned to ashes Bite the hand Don't feed me... Anymore Found all the hope I'd lost Right before my eyes Buried beneath the past Free from your lies Now I can face what comes tomorrow Breaking the dawn, I feel no sorrow The will of my mind's no longer hollow I became me Bathing in the glorious light Safe from your endless night Burning what I felt inside As your nightmare dies Found all the hope I'd lost Right before my eyes Buried beneath the past Free from your lies Now I can face what comes tomorrow Breaking the dawn, I feel no sorrow The will of my mind's no longer hollow I became me! And then I rise Rising from the ash That lingers in the air A pool of regret I won't drown in shame I won't drown in shame! Found all the hope I'd lost Right before my eyes Buried beneath the past Free from your lies In my path to become myself Deconstruction of the heart Healed my broken mind And now I become my own!

Close my eyes and wait for the light that is burning at dawn Feel the night and forget I am fighting all alone Coldest wind but I know that there is warmth in the sun When it rises I will finally become someone Let the world give me a name Let me out, let me escape All these walls come crumbling down Broken pieces all around Why's the sun not coming up Illuminate me, I feel numb Let the world give me a name Let me out, let me escape I want to turn all my darkness to light Let me out, let me escape just once All my life All my world Dreams of making it To the morning sun All this time All in vain Morning only brought Seas of bleeding rain I've been waiting in the dark Claws dig deep inside my heart It is an eye for an eye But I have always been blind Let the world give me a name Let me out, let me escape All these walls come crumbling down Broken pieces all around Don't tell me I'm not right You're twisting up my mind My heart you can't deny All my life All my world Dreams of making it To the morning sun All this time All in vain Morning only brought Seas of bleeding rain All my life All my world Dreams of making it To the morning sun All this time All in vain Morning only brought Seas of bleeding rain

In the Dark 02:28
Stop! I'm lying to myself With every word I say Life's fading out to gray To bury me in shame Wake me up from this hell, and... Save me before this darkness Breaks me from inside I'm running out of time Left to be devoured Until my final hour Tearing me to pieces I've been overpowered Save me from the dark It's ripping me apart! Hold me until you know you Have me deep in your arms Fear is growing in me and I am about to fall Save me from the dark It's ripping me apart! Give me a chance to run and... Wake me up from this hell Out of power My final hour! Crawling up inside me Nesting where my heart is Hostage of my own fear Why am I still locked here? Burning on the dark side Prisoner of my mind Rotting on my own Help me, all is gone Left to be devoured Until my final hour Tearing me to pieces I've been overpowered

In a world where the strong do not always rule Some are cast down to where they hold no power Condemned to an eternity of forced decisions Until one day Not only they But the whole world around them Breaks For all the time You hold me down A war for my life Faceless I'm bound My will has gone away A scar upon my heart Again you're tearing me Apart You keep casting me Why? My hands are tied I am breaking inside Right from the start My freedom you denied I'm rotting in the dark Alone… until the day I die The road begins to break It's right before my eyes It's more than I can take Your lies Your lies You chain me with your lies My pain begins to rise You sabotage my tries A prison of my cries My will My will has gone away A scar upon my heart You're tearing me apart Spiting on my life Why? My hands are tied I am breaking right from Inside! My hands are tied Why? Oh, Why? Oh, Why? Why? My hands are tied I am breaking inside I can't take any more Bleeding from the core The sounds of my war They echo through my inner door Free me from your chains I can't take any more Slowly I will die Why? Why? Why? My hands are tied I am breaking inside Why? My hands are tied By your lies Lies Why? I am breaking inside It's burning my eyes Why?! Why? Why do you break me up inside? Why? Oh, why?

My fingers crawl through my weeping eyes I disappear once more as daylight dies The weight of you buries me deep Smothers me until I cannot breathe Cut my tongue and silence all my hopes A thousand pleas held by a thousand ropes How can I find a way out? I peek into the darkness that I find around me I swallow all of the pain I find inside me Yet, I still feel so hollow I still feel so hollow I feast on what's left of my dreams While my heart is tearing at the seams I'm sinking lower than before I'm doomed to fall forevermore I peek into the darkness that I find around me I swallow all of the pain I find inside me Yet, I still feel so hollow I still feel so hollow I peek into the darkness that I find around me I swallow all of the pain I find inside me Yet, I still feel so hollow I still feel so hollow

Wipe your tears away Force your heart to stay All the dreams you had They will burn away You still hear its steps You still feel its breath You know that behind There's your death There's a wind that follows you today Blowing, so cold Feel your shell crumbling away Falling, like stone Dragging through the bones in the way Piercing, your skin Like a demon for you to slay Prowling close behind All my life This shadow followed me For all time It won't go away, won't fade away All my life This shadow followed me For all time I won't go away, won't fade away I won't fade away! I won't ever throw this chance away It won't break me Even when withering away I won't obey All my life This shadow will follow me For all time It won't go away, won't fade away All my life This shadow followed me For all time I won't go away, won't fade away Bring me to my knees again You won't ever keep me here You can't cage me with your pain I'm not who I used to be Bring me to my darkest state I'm breaking away again You won't fill me with your hate My heart, it is not the same I am on my knees again I'll rise, to where I belong I won't ever be the same Sometimes the weak become the strong I am in my darkest state Breaking out on my own You won't fill me with your hate Sometimes the weak become the strong

No more I will bow down to your will I own the threads in my mind The master of my own life I won't be bound! My soul Slowly heals inside me The essence of my being Comes to me like breathing Won't suffocate All my fears have gone away These chains are broken Free to choose the price to pay I choose to live All my life I've tried to free myself Lost my mind And found it once again All this time Without a word to say I won't hide My past will decay From night to day I got rid of my wretched old skin To wither away I'm reborn from within All my fears have gone away The chains are broken Free to choose the price to pay I choose to live I choose to live Not just to exist! All my life I've tried to free myself Lost my mind And found it once again Your knife couldn't hold me down Your lies they don't make a sound These chains couldn't hold me down Your hate's burning all around Your knife couldn't take me down Your lies they don't make a sound These chains couldn't hold me down Your hate cannot burn all… My life I've tried to free myself Lost my mind And found it once again My life My mind You cannot bring down Your life Your lies They couldn't make me drown You won't Destroy The person I've become I'm free I choose I choose to Live

Rise from dust Born of ash Broken trust Burning so fast Fought the war Conquered all Caged no more Standing tall Through the mud I dragged myself away Lived my life while poisoned by your hate No more will you tell me what to say Welcome the dawn of a new day Into light My dreams come I'll ignite What was growing numb In the dark I can see In my heart I know who to be Through the mud I dragged myself away Lived my life while poisoned by your hate No more will you tell me what to say Welcome the dawn of a new day Through the mud I dragged myself away Lived my life while poisoned by your hate No more will you tell me what to say A new dawn A new dawn The place where I must go The pain I know From long ago Won't fade away Like time will flow It will stay But I will go And follow my way Through the mud I dragged myself away Lived my life while poisoned by your hate No more will you tell me what to say Welcome to the dawn of a new day Through the mud I dragged myself away Lived my life while poisoned by your hate No more will you tell me what to say A new dawn A new dawn

Pride you took Pride you feel Pride that you felt when you'd kneel Not the word, not the love Not what you thought from above It feeds it grows It clouds all that you will know Deceit deceive Decide just what you believe I see faith in your eyes Never your hear the discouraging lies I hear faith in your cries Broken is the promise, betrayal The healing hand held back by the deepened nail Follow the god that failed Find your peace Find your say Find the smooth road in your way Trust you gave A child to save Left you cold and him in grave It feeds it grows It clouds all that you will know Deceit deceive Decide just what you believe I see faith in your eyes Never you hear the discouraging lies I hear faith in your cries Broken is the promise, betrayal The healing hand held back by the deepened nail Follow the god that failed I see faith in your eyes Broken is the promise, betrayal The healing hand held back by the deepened nail Follow the god that failed Pride you took pride you feel Pride that you felt when you'd kneel Trust you gave a child to save Left you cold and him in grave I see faith in your eyes Never you hear the discouraging lies I hear faith in your cries Broken is the promise, betrayal The healing hand held back by deepened nail Follow the god that failed Follow the god that failed Broken is the promise, betrayal, betrayal yeah

This world does not want me This world does not care And I'm a product of this world Confused. I'd say that's fair This pain will never leave me It's scarred upon my brain Destroying everything that brought this Just to keep me, just to keep me sane A hatred burns inside me Emotions out of hard But I've the will to focus this Survive, contrive, command From pain comes a courage The strength from injustice The rage to overcome it all An open mind With a closed fist
