Waking up to find you're all alone.,
Wishing I was eight when you'll never grow.,
Life has its way to change your dismay through your passions,.
When you're living and learning..
Am I trying my best that I can?
Not sure I understand you,.
But If I did I'm sure to ask..
A favour for a favour is due..
Waking up to find you're all alone.,
Wishing I was eight when you'll never grow.,
I can't decide what to do with my life and my passions,.
When you're living and learning..

I saw his face and turned away.
A stranger I once called a friend.
I thought I'd forget and move along,
But it burns a hole in my life
and my soul.
I saw his face and turned away.
I will never walk this road again.
Fear and pain enclose my heart.
A simple word would make me mad.
Why did he make me mad?
You pushed me to the edge.
You think I must be a joke,
For following my own feelings.
I saw his face and turned away.
A stranger that reached out and cried.
I'm not prepared for open arms,
As it's too late to repeat
the same mistake.
Now gone in peace...

It’s the year four billion.
The Earth is dying, as we walk its desert back....
We are the last ones alive,
As we try to leave this world.
It all depends on us.
We cannot fail!
Our species must prevail...
You are my love.
You are my only one.
The records of our race,
Coloured on our face.
Why did we stay on this rock to die?
No water and life but the sky.
Our struggle will fade in time.
We lost our chance millennia ago.
I see a light shine through the sky.
A ship lands and we meet the many more.
I thought we were left here to die,
Until they picked us up and we sailed the stars.
Calling all refugees of the Milky Way Section Omega_C2!
We will be shortly arriving at Utopia!

Lost For Words

Lost for words...
Lost for words...
You don't seem to know,
That I'm lost for words.
These troubled times,
(Oh noo) Are knocking at my door.
Please never leave,
Or you'll face a rising force,
Of civil unrest,
With the blind cycle to never end.
I recall a time,
Of simple minds and taller sights.
The world has shrunk,
In my age and widened perception.
I'm lost for words,
It's a never-ending cycle.
I'm lost for words,
It's a never-ending cycle.
You utter words,,
Then the past is left behind..
Our troubled times,,
Are coming to an end.

Neon Lane

Walking down the streets,
I see danger through the light,
A feeling I can't brush aside.
They fight for what is wrong,
I stood up for what is right,
For you girl, I'd take the time.
I'll take you home away from this place,
The danger of Neon Lane.
Watch that guy,
He'd rather see you die.
.
He's the one who brought pain to my soul,
A man who's willing to beat you down.
The drugs and the violence are all intertwined,
With adults acting like kids.

The winter of Death is nigh,
For the children of Dremerical Spring!
Save your sons and daughters,
From the knowledge that dooms our land!
The winter is nigh...

We are Dremerica,
In the lands of the Tree Gods.
You're the future of our race,
Thus, learn your place.
Three eager children,
Of noble birth.
Beware the Ebonile Forest,
Beyond the Black River.
You will never return,
For the demons will take your souls!
They ignore the words of wisdom,
For adventure is what they crave!
In secret they plan to travel,
To the crossing of the Black River!
The Ebonile Forest is calling,
For the children of Dremerical Spring!
Save your sons and daughters,
From the knowledge that dooms our land!

It's the noon of holy foliage day.
Ebonile Forest is where we head.
We plan to cross a mysterious bridge,
Across the poisonous Black River ahead.
I am the troll of the Black River!
I rip your flesh from your legs,
And drown you in the water!
Run for your lives,
as I break down this bridge!
Blood stains the river below,
The troll can be heard feasting away.
We are stuck on the wrong side,
of the broken bridge.
Into Ebonile Forest we must run.
|
||||
10. |
||||
|
Lost in the depths of the forest,
The darken depths fill us with grief.
What is that clearing in the distance?
Maybe it's our path to freedom?
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
Please don't be afraid,
The Fairies and I are tame.
I'm as old as the many trees,
Surrounding this garden.
I could tell you the means to escape,
But I can tell you are curious for more.
To know the secrets of the forest,
And your existence in Dremerica.
Do you wish to know?
Yes! We wanna know.
Why we're stuck in Dremerica?
What lies beyond this forest,
And why did a troll kill our friend?

Descendants, destruction!
This Earth was almost dead and gone!
These creatures from heavens,
Had to save us and intervene!
Colonising, Polluting!
They knew our race would reach the stars!
Brainwashing, controlling.
They kept us all apart!
They built the Ebonile Forest,
To stop us from war and rage!
They gave us superstitions,
To be wary of what lied beyond!
They must be both starving,
So take this food for your health!
I'll make sure to fatten you up!
I care for your life and your flesh!
They ignore the undertones,
For knowledge is what they seek!
In secret she plans to eat them,
For children is what she craves!
The Ebonile Forest is calling,
For the children of Dremerical Spring!
Save your sons and daughters,
From the witch that feasts on flesh!
We loved the food,
But we need to leave.
We must tell our people,
Of the lands that lie forth...
Of the lands that lie forth...

Foolish children,
I am a Witch,
Banished from your land's years past!
I have feasted on children,
Since the forest made me mad!
The fairies will hold you in place,
As I eat you alive!
For I have fattened you up,
To make your flesh all ripe!
How did we not see?
For Witches are as old as legend.
Bedtime stories to scare us,
Of exploring the dark alone.
The winter of Death is nigh,
For the children of Dremerical Spring.
Save your sons and daughters,
From the witch that feasts on flesh.
My true form is a monster!
Prepare to be my meal!
Help she is eating me!
Help she is eating me!
My eyes gouged and my legs torn!
My vocal cords are all gone!
I am about to die.
My second friend is being eaten alive.
How will I escape this hell?
Curiosity is the death of me.
The winter of Death is nigh,
For the children of Dremerical Spring.
Save your sons and daughters,
From the knowledge that dooms our land.
|
||||
14. |
||||
|
We are here!
The elders of Dremerica.
We will slay this witch to death,
And bring you back home!
Carried through the forest,
At lightning speeds.
The Elders have laid a path.
They managed their way through the forest,
By clearing a chopped tree path.
|
||||
15. |
||||
|
The bridge is repaired.
The troll is slayed.
My friend was never found.
A funeral is held for my friends,
They never made it out alive.
I grieve and cry for days on end,
As the elders tell me to forget the Witches' words.
The Tragedy of Dremerical Spring,
The death of two children of noble birth.
The surviving child will forget what had passed,
As if it was a bad dream!
The story is at an end,
For the children of Dremerical Spring!
A future blurred in darkness,
By beings that rule our world!
The winter of Death is nigh,
For the children of Dremerical Spring!
Save your sons and daughters,
From the knowledge that dooms our land!
They will never know their place!
