Since day one we have been side by side Fighting for each other as though we're brothers But you go to a fight i can not follow It kills me inside that you are alone It kills me inside that you are alone This fight is not yours, this fight is not mine yet im involved as much as you, if i could end this all If i had the power to stop this These nights would be easier You raise your sword, I'll raise my glass This is my prayer for you Since day one we have been side by side Fighting for each other as though we're brothers This fight is not yours, this fight is not mine yet im involved as much as you, if i could end this all If i had the power to stop this These nights would be easier You raise your sword, i'll raise my glass This is my prayer for you if you should fall my life will fall without you there is no future for me without you this is my prayer, prayer This is my prayer, prayer Since day one we have been side by side Fighting for eachother as tho we're brothers But you go to a fight A fight i cannot follow We are danger close

You've haunted me my whole life Its all i can remember Your shadow has always been there In the back of my mind Affecting my decisions as though it was me It's all I've ever known Picking and choosing who I let in Because the fear of you Fear of you During the day you hold your head high You're the person we love Never showing what lies beneath The true face of this beast Dr Jekyll by day, Mrs Hyde by night This is how you haunt me (how you haunt me) You hit the bottle and let the beast loose, No chains can hold (no chains can hold) Plates in my face, scars in my mind this is how we survive No longer will you haunt me or my family this ends now Watching you day by day, night by night On your throne of bones Only caring about your next hit, To hide the pain you feel inside I know you've been battered and bruised, But this is no way to live This beast is your escape from the life that you lead By the end of the night you lay on the ground Clothes ripped, soiled with the blood of others You are happy there, this is bliss for you you would not change a fucking thing By the end of the night you lay on the ground Clothes ripped, soiled with the blood of others You are happy there, this is bliss for you you would not change a fucking thing I can feel the urge to end this, to save my family from this beast To reach out and take the life from you, just as you would have me to do This is how you haunt me (how you haunt me) You hit the bottle and let the beast loose No chains can hold (no chains can hold) Plates in my face, scars in my mind, This is how we survive No longer will you haunt me or my family this ends now Wake the fuck up We tried for years to fight this, just as we fought for you But in the end we lost it all and i hope you know But in the end we realise this is a fight we cannot win But in the end we realise this is a fight we've lost

Welcome to the masquerade There's no kings or queens here, Only jesters and pawns playing your game Siren! Siren! You use you beauty to lure us in using your song to dull our defences Siren! Siren! Leeching, twisting, distorting Leeching, twisting, distorting We are nothing to you, this is a game to you you're messing with our fucking lives We are nothing to you, this is a game to you you're messing with our fucking lives Moving from pack to pack Leeching, Twisting, Distorting What has become of your What has become of your life Oh Fuck! Siren! Siren!

They give and take as they please, Quick loans to fix your problems. Death salesmen trading with your soul. Attacking hearts with families, what will you leave behind? They've got the best solution, Just as long as you sign. Just sign your life away, Cashing cheques that you don't own. Just sign your life away, Watch the vultures pick the bones. Vultures The free world has become a slaughterhouse. The rich get richer, The poor get poorer, and it makes me fuckin' sick... If you could only see If you could only see What freedom means to us The end is closer than you think They hand us every step That we take to victory Wer'e playing in their game We're playing by their rules The end is closer than you think Why cant we fucking stop and see What has become of our Humanity The end is closer than you think Let's just wake up and truly see That we have become nothing but mindless drones... Mindless drones
