The Obsessive Devotion Don�t you ever blind me Don�t be a foolish thief -Am I? Don�t you ever bring yourself to grief Don�t you ever blind me Don�t ever trick my mind -Did I? Don�t you think that you can lie to me -Did I lie? Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis Et mendacem memorem esse oportet If he is your moon, I will be your earth To which you can return, safely or injured. I feel only misery for myself when I Look through the eyes of someone else Don�t you choke and bind me Don�t be a bleeding heart -Am I? Fold then walk away or play your cards -Let us play! Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis Et mendacem memorem esse oportet If he is your moon, I will be your earth To which you can return, safely or injured. I feel only misery for myself when I Look through the eyes of someone else I can't even recognize the path which has to be Taken to enter infinity. -Don't you dare me I dare you -You don't care about me I care about you -Don�t you touch me -Liar Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis Et mendacem memorem esse oportet Adoratio permanebit Quotiens me eges, adero I prefer to be unhappy with you, rather than being depressed without you. I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to Nothing lasts forever but you, you do� I prefer to be a lair just like you To fulfill my deepest desires I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to But all that I desire is you One thoughtless moment passes in slow motion As I lie down, I realise that� All I wish is to get rid of this Obsessive Devotion Venia ad vitam aeternam Non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis Hit me as you can Beat me as you wish Liar Fortuna mutual coniuncti Per tota saecula futura I have raised myself for you But now I regret Venia ad vitam aeternam This is the end 3. Menace Of Vanity Comprehensive expressions of your social weakness Vented on your countless made up enemies I cannot know how you feel When you don�t say anything We don't care what you say We'll never join the games you play We won't bleed for all your sins We never followed your way now so We don't care anymore How you�ll perform your last encore Your misplaced sense of superiority The result of your unbearable form of Vanity I cannot know what you see When you don't show anything; We don't care what you say We'll never join the games you play We won't bleed for all your sins We never followed your way now so We don't care anymore How you�ll perform your last encore I cannot know how you feel When you don�t say anything I cannot know what you see When you don't show anything We don't care what you say We'll never join the games you play We won't bleed for all your sins We never followed your way now so We don't care anymore How you�ll perform your last encore 4. Chasing The Dragon Free my mind Heal my scars Erase the past Dark days to forget And memories to last In my heart Free me now Make me forget And forgive There's no use To go on and live Show me a way To the sun Heal my scars Nothing will be forever gone Memories will stay and find their way What goes around will come around Don�t deny your fears So let them go and fade into light Give up the fight here Let my eyes take in The beauty that's here That�s left on this earth My ears long to hear A melody Give me sight Nothing will be forever gone Memories will stay and find their way What goes around will come around Don�t deny your fears So let them go and fade into light Give up the fight here Poison is slowly seeping through my veins Stealing the only dignity in me I pick them up and let them fall To cause your pain and hit them all [grunts] One more life to live is what I want I�ll take the joy away from them See to it, they will all be damned One more chance to heal what I have harmed The dragon is wreak havoc in my brain Plays my emotion, a never ending game Nothing will be forever gone Memories will stay and find their way What goes around will come around Don�t deny your fears So let them go and fade into light Give up the fight here One more life to live for me I want the night just to colour the day The morning to chase all my nightmares away Don�t you deny that we're all human beings We all have our flaws that can make ourself obscene Obscene� Give me what I want Give me what I need right now That�s what I want That�s what I need, get it! Dolendo novit mortalis vitam Tell me what I want Tell me what I need right now That�s what I want That�s all I need, cure me Dolendo discit mori mortalis Losers Nothing will be forever gone Memories will stay and find their way What goes around will come around Don�t deny your fears So let them go and fade into light Give up the fight here 5. Never Enough Can't you hear me screaming, once again? Voices you can't hear Because you are consumed and incontent With everlasting greed Don't you see me on my hands and knees? Begging and bleeding You're smiling as you bite the hand that feeds But will you never see? Always wanting what your eyes can't see needing what your arms can�t reach Thinking you are in need Always hearing what your ears can't hear feeling what your hands can't touch Thinking you�re incomplete (Enough) It was, Never enough that I gave to you All of the horror that you've put me through (Never enough) How can I make up my mind this time? This is where I will draw the line Sacrificed my life to be with you Why did you leave me? There's nothing more from me you can consume Cause you are incomplete Always wanting what your eyes can't see needing what your arms can�t reach Thinking you are in need Always hearing what your ears can't hear feeling what your hands can't touch Thinking you�re incomplete (Enough) It was, Never enough that I gave to you All of the horror that you've put me through (Never enough) How can I make up my mind this time? This is where I will draw the line Everlasting need Would you please? Answer me and Make me complete Everlasting greed Would you please? Set me free Fulfill all my needs and make complete (Enough) It was, Never enough that I gave to you All of the horror that you've put me through (Never enough) How can I make up my mind this time? This is where I will draw the line Never again will I be with you No promise eternal carrying us through I finally made up my mind this time This is the end, I've drawn the line Never enough to devour your greed 6. La�petach Chatat Rovetz - The Final Embrace [Instrumental] 7. Death Of A Dream - The Embrace That Smothers Part VII I followed your rules A willing fool Branded by shame My soul suffers from your hostile ways I bear so many scars, hit me hard Time to change we have to rearrange For this has gone too far, way too far Creating new laws and living by unwritten rules Restricting us My soul suffers from your hostile ways I can�t let go Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views Denying us You created this world Where honesty is not allowed You created this world Where ignorance is being taught You created this world Where I am all, you'll never be You�ve been drilling these Such falsely-based philosophies �in me The curtain has fallen There's no one behind Corrected one mistake But I am still around Our fight is over My scars will leave a stain You thought that it was all easy But I will still remain You created yourself Based on nothing else but lies You created yourself Where all your aspiration died You created yourself Where I am all, you'll never be You�re deceiving me Now I am forcing you to see � this The curtain has fallen There's no one behind Corrected one mistake But I am still around Our fight is over My scars will leave a stain You thought that it was all easy But I will still remain Take my hand, I'm sinking, I'm reaching out for you Can't you see what you've done to all of us? Torturing me has no use here anymore I followed your rules A willing fool Branded by shame My soul suffers from your hostile ways I bear so many scars, hit me hard Time to change we have to rearrange For this has gone too far, way too far Creating new laws and living by unwritten rules Restricting us My soul suffers from your hostile ways I can�t let go Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views Denying us The curtain has fallen There's no one behind Corrected one mistake But I am still around Our fight is over My scars will leave a stain You thought that it was all easy But I will still remain Your time is over I'm taking what�s ...
