Four long years of the waking nightmare And the bathing in the blood and ashes Of friends enemies and the innocent Have served only too deep in my rage This would build a dam Between my heart and the demons that have plagued me for a lifetime Only now the dam is about to break (The dam is about to break) (The dam is about to break) I hear I hear distant screams I hear them echo in my dreams Why are they crying out to me They cry out screaming endlessly I cannot free myself of fear The voices growing ever near Why cant I escape it Approaching then they disappear And while I wish I could see it They only come in the night Anticipation I'm waking I need to see where they hide They always call from the shadows They always follow behind They call out me when I run away Forever plaguing my mind I feel demons lost inside I feel they clawing at my mind I feel my couscous drift away I let my inner self decay Why cant I stop control my mind Too many voices at one time Why cant I escape it I cannot find a place to hide And while I wish I could see it They only come in the night Anticipation I'm waking I need to see where they hide They always call from the shadows They always follow behind They call out me when I run away Forever plaguing my mind Now i found that i can stop them endlessly sleep inside me I need to drown my tears and leave my fears behind Now its time to redefine them They always call from the shadows They always follow behind They call out me when I run away Forever plaguing my mind They always call from the shadows They always follow behind They call out me when I run away Forever plaguing my mind
