Opera Diabolicus - Stone By Stone lyrics

Come inside the darkest recess of my mind Feel the wrath, torment and pain A well-known source of my misery emerges once more If i could turn back time, i would sell my soul If i could see her face, forevermore Step inside, cross the threshold of my mind See my troubles, see my strife Condemned am i to suffer so long Am i better of alone? Another trap has sprung for me, repent and then repeat It's got to have a meaning, has to be an end Stone by stone, brick by brick What counts comes from deep within Stone by stone, brick by brick It all comes down to this A castle left, built incomplete What's a kingdom without a queen? Dreams are torn, ravished to pieces What we had were not meant to be Now i've turned into a nightfall diciple Forced to face the demon in me My world's just a wasteland of ruins and dust I have to break away Draw a line, but i cross every border I have died more than five thousand times All seems gone, is there a 'morrow? Last resort but, the method's a sin Grab into the darkest recess of my mind Take this mischief and sadness away Put out the source of my misery Please, set me free So i silently grinned with pleasure While i colored the path where i strayed Impaled by a love so unfulfilled, i'm heaven denied Stone by stone, brick by brick What counts comes from deep within Stone by stone, brick by brick It all comes down to this Slowly approaching toward the flames No more delusions, hell awaits Do you believe there is more than one meeting? Only d**h or reincarnation of souls? Truth be shown on the edge of my dagger Here i lie with blood on my hands A lifeless carca** is all that remains But i never thought twice Draw a line, but i cross every border I have died more than five thousand times Life is done, it's finally over Last resort, but the method's a sin Sunlight, i opened my eyes and the shadows drifted aside While we conduct our fate as we choose Lift the load, stone by stone Sunlight, i opened my eyes and the shadows drifted aside While we conduct our fate as we choose Lift the load, step by step
