Nobody Loves You My Way
You were there at the right time in the right place
Leading me on, I was a fool for the chase
Lifting me up when I was feeling so low
So I let you in hoping to take things slow
I never wanted you to go
I really needed you to stay
I only wanted you to know
Nobody loves you my way
You gave life meaning by showing me the way
Easing my pain by kissing my fears away
Making promises you knew you could not keep
I gave you my heart thinking our love was deep
I never wanted you to go
I really needed you to stay
I only wanted you to know
Nobody loves you my way
I never wanted you to go
I really needed you to stay
I only wanted you to know
Nobody loves you my way
I never wanted you to go
I really needed you to stay
I only wanted you to know
Nobody loves you my way
Nobody loves you my way… (3x)
Gods Of War
The echoes within the dreams
Are all the Minotaur’s screams
There are flies within the mess
Feeding on peace in distress
There is no way out of this maze
Time will fly
The dogs of war have been unleashed
To end the dance of man and beast
The gods of war have been released
The image in the mirror
Deception becomes clearer
One last fight before the flood
Creating rivers of blood
There is no way out of this maze
Time will fly
The dogs of war have been unleashed
To end the dance of man and beast
The gods of war have been released
Only pain will become king
The last bird will never sing
The nightmare will awaken
Dark souls that are forsaken
There is no way out of this maze
Time will fly
The dogs of war have been unleashed
To end the dance of man and beast
The gods of war have been released
The dogs of war have been unleashed
To end the dance of man and beast
The gods of war have been released
Hummingbirds And Butterflies
I remember how she cared
All the special moments that we have shared
She taught me how I should live
With all the trust and the faith to forgive
Hummingbirds and butterflies
Remind me of how time flies
Butterflies and hummingbirds
Remind me of how things were
I remember happiness
The more she could make out of so much less
All warmth and love in her touch
Too so many she has meant, oh so much
Hummingbirds and butterflies
The love I saw in her eyes
Butterflies and hummingbirds
The beauty that was all hers
She is in heaven now
Still so close to me
Heaven is within my heart
She is here with me
Hummingbirds and butterflies
Remind me of how time flies
Butterflies and hummingbirds
Remind me of how things were
Hummingbirds and butterflies
The love I saw in her eyes
Butterflies and hummingbirds
The beauty that was all hers
The Dark Side Of The Psyche
You always hide behind a mask
Never daring enough to ask
The dark side of the psyche
You always thought you were above
Never caring enough to love
The dark side of the psyche
You want the real thing, no limitations
Beyond weakness and remorse
You get what you want without ever waking
Asleep and dreaming you thrive in the dark
You want the real thing, no limitations
Beyond weakness and remorse
You get what you want without ever waking
Asleep and dreaming you thrive in the dark
You always tried to take command
Never choosing to understand
The dark side of the psyche
You always took without return
Never losing enough to learn
The dark side of the psyche
You want the real thing, no limitations
Beyond weakness and remorse
You get what you want without ever waking
Asleep and dreaming you thrive in the dark
You always chose a life of sin
Never reaching for peace within
The dark side of the psyche
You always found a way to leave
Never preaching faith to believe
The dark side of the psyche
You want the real thing, no limitations
Beyond weakness and remorse
You get what you want without ever waking
Asleep and dreaming you thrive in the dark
You thrive in the dark… (4x)
