They play games on a graveyard Hide and seek, hide and seek When I wake I try to forget Hide the dead, hide the dead We catch fire and try to surface Is this real, is it real All we needed was a purpose Dandelion, life goes on Some walks you have to take alone But thankfully I’m not the only soul Anyone can come back to life Except the ones who die Drag yourself from your inner hell And pray that you’re alright Fire burns brighter in the dark Watch my arrow hit its mark And self-destruct my heart I go back every evening To the games, to the war Little bombs made by the monsters We are all just human beings Some walks you have to take alone But thankfully I’m not the only soul Anyone can come back to life Except the ones who die Drag yourself from your inner hell And pray that you’re alright Fire burns brighter in the dark Watch my arrow hit its mark And self-destruct my heart Til the end I’ll see their faces The lost, the broken and the dead Still I feel it wasn’t worth it Dandelion, life goes on Dandelion, life goes on Nobody can come back to life Not even those you love Drag yourself from your inner hell And pray to that god above Fire burns brighter in the dark Watch my arrow hit its mark I’ll self-destruct my heart

we’re frail and confused and we’re violent we struggle with so many issues we’re ever so flawed, but all in all i’m proud, so proud and your kind is somehow the opposite you’re strong and you’re brave to the core you roam through the skies, you attack in the night and yet you claim you’re the light and i am not afraid of you your kind or your god i am not a helpless girl i’m an ant on the battlefield of gods sometimes we stumble and sometimes we fall and sometimes we hit something good sometimes we’re ruthless and sometimes we’re not and sometimes we do what we shouldn’t you and i don’t need to partners we’re nothing but means to an end the words that we say should be meaningless “i don’t even like you” he said but we are more than who we were the things we did before we can stand tall together i want to hear you say more sometimes we stumble and sometimes we fall and sometimes we hit something good sometimes we’re ruthless and sometimes we’re not and sometimes we do what we shouldn’t they say he has nothing but archdemon wings i say that he has me he runs his fingertips along my cheek “hush i’m right here, just breathe” “don’t talk about her” he’s mine to recover we’re stumbling along in the dark “you don’t even like me” the pain fills my body and now is the best time to start

Fireheart 04:17
Capo 4 Am C G F Am Falling falling down C No bottom but the ground G No getting up F No giving in I am lost I do not know the way Collecting scars For all the sins I pay G F F G The people you love are just weapons Weapons to use against you C I will not be afraid G F I will rattle the stars, shatter my heart C I’m the heir of ash and fire G F And I will not bow down, I will claim my crown Am C I am the light to drive out darkness G F The thief in the night that steals your heart Am C Deep inside my fire is rising G And I have done my part Cheek against the moss A princess by my side Telling me to Get up and fight I have made my choice I claim you and you claim me When I climb out I’ll never be the same But mine is not a story Of darkness I will not be afraid I will rattle the stars, shatter my heart I’m the heir of ash and fire And I will not bow down, I will claim my crown I am the light to drive out darkness The thief in the night that steals your heart Deep inside my fire is rising And I have done my part Fireheart Fireheart Fireheeeeaaaart I claim you You claimed me We will change the world Rebuild it Revive it Together we are whole I will not be afraid I will rattle the stars, shatter my heart I’m the heir of ash and fire And I will not bow down, I will claim my crown I am the light to drive out darkness The thief in the night that steals your heart Deep inside my fire is rising And I have done my part

You call to me in whispers And watch from far away Your eyes do all the talking They ask me if I'll stay I can't see where you're going All you see is pain The world is deep in shadow But you are not afraid This is not what I expected A beast, a man undetected You hold me ever closer Silent in your arms Your voice is just a sliver "I love you and your thorns" But still you say I'm leaving You force me away I make myself stop speaking I love you anyway This is not what I expected Swimming in the starlight Staying up til dawn you are The sun that shatters darkness The one that saves the fawn I am just a lonely heart Playing games like an ancient heart But I can't find your face I'll love you til the end of days Don't feel bad for doing The thing that brings you joy Don't feel bad for leaving We will all survive Don't run away Don't let her win Don't let the curse Become your sin Don't forget him There you kneel before me A prisoner of love Your lips silently smiling A prayer hides on my tongue Swimming in the starlight Staying up til dawn you are The sun that shatters darkness The one that saves the fawn Swimming in the starlight Staying up til dawn you are The sun that shatters darkness The one that saves the fawn I am just a lonely heart Playing games like an ancient heart But I can't find your face I'll love you til the end of days

Do you remember the first time that we met Do you remember the night that we were infinite Do you remember when you cried into my shirt Cause I do And that first Christmas when I didn’t feel alone And we had our first kiss the night that you weren’t coming home At my first dance you were the only one I saw I remember it We are all just stories Like words on a page Life don’t stop for nobody A sometimes things have to change This is my life, this is now I’m happy and sad and I don’t know how But she is standing right in front of me Tonight And she’s so beautiful I’m standing on the fringe with some new perspective My life’s a photograph that is still developing Jokes will become stories and stories can postpone Tomorrow And there was a time When my old life Wasn’t just memories It was happening CHORUS For tonight I’m not a sad song For tonight I’m alive and not alone I’m standing up to see the lights Everything is shining bright I’m listening and watching Whistling and falling Falling so in love with my life If only for tonight CHORUS

CAPO 4 Am G F G to the stars who listen and the people wishin on them darkness cannot consume to the mighty who’ve fallen and the lovers who want them darkness must not consume F Am G F but underneath that blackened sky deep beneath the mountain high the devil becomes a friend C G F G Am F G G Am G I will not be weak again Helpless fallen almost dead I will not be someone’s pet I am stronger I am a survivor And iiiiii am My own master to the night that can’t last and the misfits that fight back darkness has already consumed to the angels who save us and the demons that haunt us darkness is waging a war but underneath that blackened heart deep beneath a frozen guard the devil is new again I will not be weak again Helpless fallen almost dead I will not be someone’s pet I am stronger I am a survivor And iiiiii am My own master Dm Am G F I’m the fox in the hen house to eat you dead The wolf in the forest that wants your head All these things that I’ve become I needed night and not your sun I’m not the prey you thought I was I’m not your prisoner of love I’ll make you kneel and pay the price For taking back what once was mine

Elle-len-tee-ya CAPO 2 C Em I’ve never been so close To someone I just met You always fight for justice For the ones who run from death You run away from death Just like you run from men Building up your walls And hoping they will stand D C D C Sometimes words speak louder Than the actions we take I wish that we could take them back Maybe that would stop the ache D C D C The hearts of sisters The souls of queens CHORUS: Em B7 C G Had I known then That you would be The only one I know who had The power to set me free Em B7 C G And if I knew then What I know now That you would be the anchor that kept My light from going out C D Em B7 Wherever I go Wherever I’ll be I’ll always remember what we used to be C Em Our spirits can’t be broken By anything I do my best to live The way you’d want me to I’m fighting towards my death But I’m still thinking about you You are but a child who does not Know the mess she makes Beneath the veil I watch you as You make your own mistakes And everywhere I go I know you’re never far behind I gave you all my faith And now I pray that you will fly The hearts of sisters The souls of queens CHORUS: Em B7 C G Had I known then That you would be The only one I know who had The power to set me free Em B7 C G And if I knew then What I know now That you would be the anchor that kept My light from going out C D Em B7 Wherever I go Wherever I’ll be I’ll always remember what we used to be Our spirits can’t be broken By anything C D C B7 I will fight the fight that you began Don’t be scared just take my hand Do whatever you can to save our lands And our dreams And though the men will try to take you down Stand up tall and knock them out Give them something to talk about When you leave

once upon a time they made an unkindness and they fluttered like black raven wings deep in the woods the world became giant they found places to hide and to sing but all at once the day became night and all at once the nightmares burned bright we sew ourselves back together on the boulevard of dreams the monsters might be bigger but we still hold the keys and i may not have the answers i may not know the way but this time we’re safe safe as life together they became, the stars in the darkness and they rode like a cavalry of kings as they all fell in love, their souls became tarnished they chased stags and impossible things but all at once the night gave way to dawn and all at once the dreams breathed into song CHORUS do you give up your life do you push them away do you make room for lullabies or wait for the day do you watch from afar do you wish you were wrong do you inject your requiem and deny you belong after you and i the world fell to silence and nothing would ever be right i’ll find you again in the heart of the forest and i promise the stars will take flight CHORUS

Enemy Camp (Demo) (free) 03:35
You say you remember me well But I don’t know you, I don’t know you You say you’re my best friend But I’m not me, oh I’m not me Why do I feel I don’t belong It’s been so long, It’s been so long Why do I feel so all alone Like a lone wolf I’m not who you think I am Cause I don’t know what I don’t know I’m stuck in an enemy camp With no where left to go I’ll stay here waiting for my mind to come back Stand by your side while my memory is black You can count on that You can count on that I know that I used to be So much more than a broken door But that life’s just a memory It’s haunting me and taunting me Why do I feel I don’t belong It’s been so long, It’s been so long Why do I feel so all alone Like a lone wolf CHORUS What am I waiting for The keys to a broken door Who’s gonna save me All I know tonight I was born to fight No one’s gonna save me
