Homeless in Athens

[Verse] Echoes in the halls where silence once stood tall Walls of stained glass hide the cracks unseen by all Preaching golden truths while shadows climb the walls Ringing bells of change but who will heed the call [Verse] Wooden pews of prayer tainted with despair Whisper secret doubts in the dim-lit air Voices sing of love yet blind to what's unfair Saving shattered souls but do they truly care [Chorus] Fix the beams within your steeple Heal the hearts before the people Mend what's broken here at home Then the world you'll truly know [Verse] Crosses casting night hiding in the light Finger-pointing souls miss the loving sight Hands that offer help sometimes hold too tight Cleanse the dust within before the sins ignite [Bridge] Worn-out bibles speak lessons we've undone Healing starts right here beneath the setting sun If your heart is true the work is never done Look inside first before the world is won [Chorus] Fix the beams within your steeple Heal the hearts before the people Mend what's broken here at home Then the world you'll truly know

[Verse] Clocks keep ticking souls in chains Mind a storm of future pains Chasing shadows nights too dark Lost in thought can't find a spark [Verse 2] Treading paths that might not be Eyes wide shut trying to see Dreams of gold that fade away Worry drives the night to day [Chorus] Can’t you see what’s right here now Living moments show you how Future feeds a troubled mind Lose your grip on time you'll find [Verse 3] Future whispers loud and clear Fear and doubt both standing near Counting days like lines in sand Yesterday we made our stand [Verse 4] Running circles in my head Fretting over things not said Building towers made of dust Present slips can't find our trust [Chorus] Can’t you see what’s right here now Living moments show you how Future feeds a troubled mind Lose your grip on time you'll find

Title: Shadows of the Stage (Verse 1) In the neon glow, where dark meets the light, Animatronics dance, shrouded in the night. Their gears and wires twist, a macabre ballet, Forever singing to faces that fade away. (Chorus) Chasing whispers, shadows entwined, In a haunted serenade, what do we find? The laughter echoes, but the smiles decay, Animatronics dancing in their shelves of dismay. (Verse 2) The bunny silent, masking a ghoulish grin, Chasing scattered laughs, that's where chaos begins. With the flicker of the lights, and a laugh turned grim, He leads the fading faces down his hollow whim. (Chorus) Chasing whispers, shadows entwined, In a haunted serenade, what do we find? The laughter echoes, but the smiles decay, Animatronics dancing in their shelves of dismay. (Bridge) The dog, once loyal, now a broken toy, Eyes crazed with hunger, longing for the joy. Clawing through the memories, a rusted song, In the pit of darkness, where they all belong. (Verse 3) The fox, so quick, with a gleaming hook, Dancing through the madness, wherever it took. He weaves through the shadows, with a smile so sly, The night’s pulling tighter as the last sparks die. (Chorus) Chasing whispers, shadows entwined, In a haunted serenade, what do we find? The laughter echoes, but the smiles decay, Animatronics dancing in their shelves of dismay. (Outro) And the cat sits waiting, blind but attuned, Hearing footsteps echo, where sorrow looms. In this grand theatre of lives once bright, Animatronics dance till the end of the night. (Fade out) Animatronics whisper, with fading embrace, Underneath the spotlight, they vanish without trace. Their song a requiem, for the faces that flee, Forever singing, in their dark reverie.

[Verse] Parked by the ruins under moonlight's spell Athens whispers ancient tales I can tell Dusty streets my kingdom in the cold Every night a new story unfolds [Verse 2] Windows cracked the stars my ceiling high Broken dreams but I won't cry Echoes of the city fill my soul In my car I find control [Chorus] I'm the landlord I'm the landlord In this city I'm adored No walls no doors but I own it all In the shadows I stand tall [Verse 3] Waking up with the sunrise painting hue Every day a battle but I'm true Athens streets a canvas wide and vast In my rearview history's cast [Verse 4] Lost in alleys where the myths reside No address but I take it in stride Whispering winds tell me ancient lore In my car I'm forevermore [Chorus] I'm the landlord I'm the landlord In this city I'm adored No walls no doors but I own it all In the shadows I stand tall

[Verse] In the shadows he stands tall Beginning and the end of all Whispered tales in empty halls His name echoes when you call [Verse 2] He's got the fire of the first spark Guiding light when it's all dark From the start to the last mark Boundless seas his lone ark [Chorus] Vergil cries in the midnight rain Alpha's joy and Omega's pain Walk this path There's no refrain In your heart he will remain [Verse 3] Legends carved in ancient stone He's the ruler of the unknown Lost and found in a twilight zone A king without a throne [Verse 4] In the silence He finds peace From the loud to the deceased Time's a circle Never cease Laws of nature he will breach [Chorus] Vergil cries in the midnight rain Alpha's joy and Omega's pain Walk this path There's no refrain In your heart he will remain

In the dark depths of the sea, Themineira swims Her bright blue eyes deceive, beware and hold no sins Listen to her voice, high notes reverberate Once you hear her song, y'already know your fate Sailors and cruel pirates be on your guard Your ship and all your crew will soon be torn apart As you see her rise to surface, fear strikes you And as her wails come closer there's nothing left to do Siren of the seven seas, daughter of Poseidon Mother Aphrodite, her beauty is unmatched Those who violate women, children or their pets Will soon violently meet their gruesome deaths And men, beware! And rapists, be scared! Her anger is fierce She has come to pierce Your heart Oh - Oh Oh - Oh Your heart Oh - Oh Oh - Oh Your heart Oh - Oh Oh - Oh Your heart No criminal is spared by her hands Justice will spread across all the lands A tail of aquamarine stones shines bright On all the victim's lives, it shines a light And if you ever dare to touch without their will Themineira finds you, and she goes for the kill I'll tell you only once, so open up your ears Keep your fingers home, save yourself the tears Siren of the seven seas, daughter of Poseidon Mother Aphrodite, her beauty is unmatched Those who violate women, children or their pets Will soon violently meet their gruesome deaths And men, beware! And rapists, be scared! Her anger is fierce She has come to pierce Your heart Oh - Oh Oh - Oh Your heart Oh - Oh Oh - Oh Your heart Oh - Oh Oh - Oh Your heart Oh - Oh Oh - Oh Your heart She has come to pierce your heart

[Verse] Dark as night with neon skies City's pulse it never dies Shadows creeping in the haze Scream out loud embrace the craze [Verse 2] Midnight whispers fill the air Broken dreams there's no repair Running wild can't find my ground Through the chaos I'll be found [Chorus] Scream scream break the silence Heartbeats drum to our defiance Raise your voice let it soar Scream for dreams we want more [Verse 3] Starlit rebels side by side In this madness we collide Echoes of a restless heart In the noise we'll play our part [Bridge] Lost in city's bright display In the dark we'll make our way Unleash the sound from the deep In the rhythm we won't sleep [Chorus] Scream scream break the silence Heartbeats drum to our defiance Raise your voice let it soar Scream for dreams we want more

[Verse] In the moonlight shadows deep Secrets dark I start to keep Whispers echo through the night Seeking justice in your light [Verse 2] My heart cold as winter's frost Avenging love that I have lost Footsteps silent in the dark With vengeance I leave my mark [Chorus] Ghost of you haunts every breath Bound by love and bound by death Echoes linger in my mind Truths of sorrow intertwined [Verse 3] Through the mist I hear your name Flickering in haunting flame Eyes that pierce the veil of night Vowing wrongs I'll set alight [Bridge] Lonely shadows dance around In the silence No more sound Love's revenge a deadly game Into darkness I reclaim [Chorus] Ghost of you haunts every breath Bound by love and bound by death Echoes linger in my mind Truths of sorrow intertwined

[Verse] We stand on earth with feet of clay Our hearts weigh heavy every day We seek the truth in light unseen In mortal flesh we dream between [Verse 2] The world of man with faults and fears But spirit whispers in our ears A realm unseen so vast so bright Where mortal strife "tis swallowed by light [Chorus] Oh break these chains that bind our soul In truth we find the purest goal The mortal fades but love will shine In God's embrace we intertwine [Verse 3] A mortal frame may bend and break But spirit strong will not forsake For every sorrow every tear A promise of the kingdom near [Bridge] Immortal life beyond the veil With faith we tread on holy trail The mortal leaves a fleeting trace But spirit finds its saving grace [Verse 4] In silent prayer we touch the sky Where mortal waves in stillness lie The truth eternal will reveal That life in God is whole and real

[Verse] Too many thoughts I can’t sleep tonight What if the past could make things right? I sip on dreams but they taste so dry The life I wanted just passed me by [Pre-Chorus] I’m fading away like a whisper in the rain I'm lost in the noise of a thousand silent pains [Chorus] Catch me dreaming on the edge of the night Where broken stars still try to shine bright In a world where shadows dance with the day I'll find my voice and chase the fears away [Verse 2] Memories linger like old melody lines Wishing on wishes that never align The sky's a canvas of forgotten hues But I paint my doubts in hopeful blues [Chorus] Catch me dreaming on the edge of the night Where broken stars still try to shine bright In a world where shadows dance with the day I'll find my voice and chase the fears away [Bridge] So I'll write a new song with the pen of my heart Every note a fresh start where dreams can depart Beyond the twilight where the echoes stay I'll find my place and let the music play

[Verse 1:] We were all born to die, we exist just trying to get by, But we could be so much more, we could rise and settle the score, Between dreams of making you bleed, I wonder if it's gonna make me weep, [Pre-chorus 1:] What if hell and paradise, are both right where we are? Depending on the way we live our life, and the choices made in the nick of time, [Chorus 1:] Every tale of forever, wrapped in beautiful lies, you can't reach my heart, Loving someone's nothing but a waste of time, a proven plot to quickly take a life, But oh, I would never, let you win this fight, become the hero of a war, Or fall victim to the pinning look in your eyes, the weight of loneliness that you hide, [Verse 2:] Break free of this prison of fate, that's been broken ever since the day we met, Melt the steel and distort the chain, don't lose sight of the one true gain, Life's nothing but a fucked up, ruthless game, never before have I wanted to hit replay, Your level's the worst of ploys, the best of joys, let the rain wash out all of the world's noise, [Pre-chorus 2:] What if hell and paradise, are both right where we were? What if death isn't meant to keep us apart? What if it's a chance to finally reunite? [Chorus 2:] Every tale of forever, wrapped in beautiful lies, you can't reach my heart, Loving someone's nothing but a waste of time, a proven plot to quickly take a life, But oh, I would never, let you win this fight, become the hero of a war, Or fall victim to the pinning look in your eyes, the weight of loneliness that you hide, [Bridge:] There are no stars meant to align, when it comes to you and I, the best that we could do is collide, Lost moments passing us by, Unwanted feelings left unsaid, Farewell and let's meet at the end, [Pre-chorus 3:] What if hell and paradise, are both exactly where you are? What if I was wrong to keep us apart? What if I wanna go wherever you are? [Chorus 3:] Our own tale of forever, got wrecked by our own twisted lies, I hate the way you seamlessly claimed my heart, Loving someone's nothing but a waste of time, a plot that proved to take our lives, But oh, I stood by my vow to never, let you win this fight, become the hero of my war, But I was falling through the fallout, fast and hard, night after night, Victim to the way you made me feel alive, the adrenaline rush of a lifetime...
