The Flame

To have a heart made of stone
To have a body of gold
The flames burn in your eyes
Is that what I want in life?
To have passion and lust
To have anger and hate
you may think it's alright
but both will bring you sorrow
and in the end
is that what you want?
is that what you want?
and in the end
is that what you want? (This is what I want)
is that what you want? (This is what I want)
I think I despise you
but I may secretly love you
I'm really not sure now
and I don't think I'll ever know
you have a heart made of stone
you have a body of gold
You have that fire in your eyes
that's all I need in life
That's all I need in life
That's all I need in life
That's all I need in life
That's all I need in life
(I heard all about the deals you made
I can see through the burning flames
I know the reason why you need me
but that's ok because I need the same)
(I can see through the burning flames
I know all about the deals you made
Scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours
You're gonna love me forever more)
It seems we're both made of stone
we may have bodies of gold
A flame burns in in our eyes
and we have no shame.

Sense Of Morality
04:00

Your feelings and thoughts,
the ideas you've been taught.
Are closing up behind me
You build up a wall
of your idealism
that you think can not be broken
You've trapped the people
behind this wall
even though they don't support you
All hail the lord
of ignorance
you think you've won the battle
Well I know you'll be in
for quite a shock
When you realise
that you can't stop the clock
and the hands of time start
spinning out of your control
Your sense of morality
deeply sickens me
Ignorance maybe bliss to you
but it's torture to all of us
Our ancestors did not fight for this
I've got to stand my ground
Your wall will not climb any higher
I'm going to tear it down
down (x8)
Just like many people,
you will meet in life
I have felt isolated.
The problems we've faced
are almost the same
yet no one was there for me.
Well, from now on I'm gonna fight
battle for rights
and stand up for what I believe in
I will not let you push me down
You'll be the one with your face
in the dirt.
Well I know you'll be in
for quite a shock
When you realise
that you can't stop the clock
and the hand of time start
spinning out of your control
Your sense of morality
deeply sickens me
Ignorance maybe bliss to you
but it's torture to all of us
Our ancestors did not fight for this,
I've got to stand my ground
Your wall will not climb any higher
I'm going to tear it down
down (x8)
Your sense of morality
deeply sickens me
Ignorance maybe bliss to you
but it's torture to all of us
Our ancestors did not fight for this,
I've got to stand my ground
Your wall will not climb any higher
I'm going to tear it down

You don't know what the problem is, do you?
You expect me to believe all that, don't you?
Your naivety does not fool me.
Nothing you say can get past me
I see exactly what is happening here
What did you expect from me?
I can see that you're intrigued by me
You can not understand
Why I tell the truth
I'm smarter than you think
I can see under the pink
and I know exactly
what is happening here
You don't exist!
You left me here, a long time ago
and now your body
has been taken over
I'm not sure
if she's your master
or just a witch, wearing a mask
Either way she has no right to be here!
Come on, just admit it
She's vile, and you know it
She's vile, you can see it it
Come on, just accept it!
And in the moment you do,
You'll have the chance to break through
and if you can't, you must be vile too.

Fire Dance

You're dancing 'round the fire
Keep dancing 'round that fire
Watch out, you may get burned
You're dancing 'round the fire
I watch you dance around the fire
Keep dancing 'round that fire
Watch out you may get burned
The fire's gonna spread
The fire's gonna spread
The fire's gonna spread
And you'll take back those words you said.

Your cold hands
Your cold breathe
Your cold words
And your cold heart
It appears
you are mistaken dear
But I owe you nothing!
Yet you owe me so much
You have so much
to prove to me
Try all you want
there's no way to
justify what you have done
You should be ashamed of yourself
For lying about me
You should be ashamed of yourself
For lying to yourself
You should be ashamed of yourself
For the way you treat me
You should be ashamed of yourself
For trying to crush me
When you're supposed to love me...
When you're supposed to love me...
Can't you see...
You're running through a minefield
Can't you see...
You're running through a minefield
Can't you see...
You're running through a minefield
Can't you see...
You're running through a minefield
But I can break you down
I'll make you see how small you really are
I can break you down
I'll make you see how small you really are
You better watch your step.
You better watch your step.
You better watch your step.
You better watch your step.

A Closed Door
03:42

I've had a lot of dealings
with people like you.
Take my word for it,
I know a thing or two
Do you think it's that easy
to get right past me?
Do you want to ignore it
Or see what I see?
You'll have to try harder
If you want me to like you
Just a little bit harder
if you want me to like you
What makes you think?
That I'd want to know you
What makes you think?
That I'd want to know you
You've done nothing for me
and you expect me to like you
You've done nothing but hurt me
and expect me to like you?
Here's a little bit of advice for you
Take my advice, if you want me to like you
Open up the door
and I'll walk straight through it
Keep it closed,
and I won't try to break in
