Take a good look around before you dive into the
Blue that has become your next obsession
Listen to the sound that might be end of days
Calling you to arms again (resounding curtain call)
Next in line's a gape from which the filth is spread
To paralyse with lust for bloodshed (and fill your mouth with dirt)
Love for one? Love for all?
Get fucking runnning because you're next in line to
Fall
(Fall)
She's got eyes that lift you up above yourself
And that should be the first cause for concern
You know this trap, it's been sprung upon you times before but
When will you learn? When - will - you - learn?
Distress calls that failed to make their destination
For your station's disappeared, you cannot ignore indignation
Strings set to extreme vibration, time to listen to the sound
Will you let them? Will you let her burn you to the
Ground?
(Ground)
She is a presence that you just cannot ignore
Some painful memory that makes you beg for more
When suddenly all hope seems to be lost
There she stands again but is it worth the cost?
Look at your hands while you try and get it all figured out
Stare through the fuel soaked eyes that fills your mind with doubt
As you stand alone, teetering on the brink
The vision of worlds above quickly begin to shrink
Encountered once, never to be seen again
And now to make your way in the realm of men.
Alone and desolate, are you still standing proud?
Your only company, a memory of the only way out.
I only hope that you have learned something from this
Never to be invited in again by her kiss...

Welcome to the dead zone
Nothing ever grows here
Emotions come to die here
A place that is beyond fear
There are no words, just darkness, and the frigid ground beneath us
All that is left from the creation of our own destruction
Our fears made flesh, come to pass, and leaving us with cold winds
There's no doubt that there's no god that can heal this decimation
Dust masks the streets, plagues the air, leaving us choking and writhing
Testament to our pride, to our visions of Utopia
Dread grips the sky, pricks the skin, makes us contemplate the reasons
Face down in dirt, trampled down by the machines that became us...
Rain tries to cleanse the debris, stained with blood and desperation
Houses of wealth and of power start to slowly disassemble
Burying the last remnants of the former human persuit
Now, time to bow and to serve and to be forever taunted.
(Darkness everlasting)
Welcome to the Dead Zone
Nothing ever grows here
(The human mind's a minefield)
Emotions come to die here
A place that is beyond fear
(There is no salvation)
There is nothing left here
But a bitter machine
In the darkness of the Dead Zone
When did we learn that we were doomed?
That we had the key to save ourselves?
No more of vein, but of the wire
Evolution of mankind left in the hands of heartless.
Born not of flesh, but of the tube
Synthetic race to build anew
Leaving us with a mark of shame
They say on, "it's progress".
(Darkness everlasting)
Welcome to the Dead Zone
Nothing ever grows here
(The human mind's a minefield)
Emotions come to die here
A place that is beyond fear
(There is no salvation)
There is nothing left here
But a bitter machine
In the darkness of the Dead Zone.

A stab in the back and a kick in the dark
It may have been quick but you've left your mark
A scavenger attacker without an ounce of regret
All you need's a shadow and your stage is set
Along came a prowler and along came the prey
A life once beautiful, so take it away
Eyes as a weapon, a voice as a chime
Just remember this now - you're on borrowed time.
Just like a thief you were there and gone
Away through the shadows after damage was done
Smirk on your face through the flashes of light
Whilst elsewhere another was losing their fight.
Alone, scarred and bloody but the night goes on
A happiness and purity - suddenly none.
A thousand things to say but I can't find the words to say them
A future left unvoiced, left a little tarnished gem.
So we're left thinking here,
What could have been?
You ever show your face and I will end you
You with your smug smile and your malicious ways
You'd not be worth the pain, but there is one difference
She was mine, and noone else's, you underestimate the power of love.
A stab in the back and a kick in the dark
I will not be quick for you are my mark
A scavenger attacker without an ounce of regret
All I need's a shadow and my stage will be set
Along comes the prowler into the eyes of the prey
But this time it's different - he'll make you rue the day
My eyes are unfocused, my voice has a quake
But my aim is still deadly, and it's not for my sake.
Now that your time's at an end
It's time for our hearts to mend.
Never forgive, and never forget
These words that I've spoken are without regret.
