: Fade to Black (Text)

Life, it seems, will fade away 
Drifting further every day 
Getting lost within myself 
Nothing matters, no one else

I have lost the will to live 
Simply nothing more to give 
There is nothing more for me 
Need the end to set me free 

Things are not what they used to be 
Missing one inside of me 
Deathly lost, this can't be real 
Cannot stand this hell I feel

Emptiness is filling me 
To the point of agony 
Growing darkness taking dawn 
I was me, but now he's gone 

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late 
Now I can't think, think why I should even try 
Yesterday seems as though it never existed 
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye

Forever trusting D

2. Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

3. Trust I seek and find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

: One (text)

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That theres not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god wake me

Back in the womb it's much to real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a war time novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god wake me

Now the world is gone i'm just one
Oh god help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with a life in hell

1. Ami 
New blood joins this Emi 
earth
and D 
quickly he's sub-Ami 
dued.
Through constant pain disgrace,
the young boy learns their rules.
With time the child draws 
in this whipping boy done wrong.
Deprived of all his thoughts,

*: the D 
young man struggles Ami 
on and on.
He knows, oo, a C 
vow unto
his G 
own that C 
never from this G 
day
his C 
will they'll take a - G 
way.E 
 
Ref: Ami 
What I've C 
felt, what I've G 
known never
Emi 
shined through in what I've Ami 
shown.
Ami 
Never C 
be. Never G 
see.
Won't E 
see what might have Ami 
been.

What I've felt, what I've known, never 
shined through in what I've shown.
Never free. Never me.
So I dub the unforgiven.

2. They dedicate their lives
to running all of his
He tries to please them all,
this bitter man he is
Throughout the life the same,
he's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win.

*: A tired man they see no longer cares.
The old man then 
prepares to die regretfully
That old man here is me.

R: What I've felt what I've known …
