[[folder:Not Your Kind of People]]
->We are not your kind of people\\
You seem kind of phoney\\
Everything's a lie\\
We are not your kind of people\\
Something in your makeup\\
Don't see eye to eye\\
\\
We are not your kind of people\\
Don't want to be like you\\
Ever in our lives\\
We are not your kind of people\\
We fight when you start talking\\
There's nothing but white noise\\
\\
Ahhh... Ahhh... Ahhh... Ahhh...\\
\\
Running around trying to fit in\\
Wanting to be loved\\
It doesn't take much\\
For someone to shut you down\\
When you build a shell\\
Build an army in your mind\\
You can't sit still\\
And you don't like hanging round the crowd\\
They don't understand\\
\\
You dropped by as I was sleeping\\
You came to see the whole commotion\\
And when I woke I started laughing\\
The jokes on me for not believing\\
\\
We are not your kind of people\\
Speak a different language\\
We see through your lies\\
We are not your kind of people\\
Won't be cast as demons\\
Creatures you despise\\
\\
We are extraordinary people\\
We are extraordinary people\\
We are extraordinary people\\
We are extraordinary people\\

[[folder:Sins of the Father]]
->Blind in the deepest night\\
Reaching out, grasping for a fleeting memory\\
All the thoughts keep piercing this broken mind\\
I fall but I'm still standing motionless\\
\\
Far in the distance\\
There is light; a light that burns these scars of old\\
All this pain, reminds me of what I am\\
I'll live, I'll become all I need to be\\
\\
Words that kill\\
Would you speak them to me?\\
With your breath so still,\\
It makes me believe\\
In the Father's sins\\
Let me suffer now and never die\\
I'm alive\\
\\
{{Pride}} feeds their blackened hearts\\
And the thirst, must be quenched, to fuel hypocrisy\\
[[FirePurifies Cleansing flames]], [[TheAtoner is the only way to repent]]\\
[[LossOfIdentity Renounce, what made you]]\\
\\
Words that kill\\
Would you speak them to me?\\
With your breath so still,\\
It makes me believe\\
\\
The Sins never die\\
[[OutDamnedSpot Can't wash this blood off our hands]]\\
[[ThenLetMeBeEvil Let the world fear us all]]\\
[[WellIntentionedExtremist It's just means to an end]]\\
\\
[[RedemptionQuest Our salvation lies]] ''([[SinsOfOurFathers in the Father's sins]])''\\
Beyond the truth ''(Let me suffer now)''\\
\\
In my heart I just know that there's [[ChronicVillainy no way to light up the dark]]\\
[[EyesNeverLie In his eyes]]...\\

[[folder:Quiet's Theme]]
->Birds... in the sky\\
Carry... these words for me\\
Life... tasted sweet\\
It let me live\\
Let me breathe\\
Love... hurt so bad\\
But still... saved my soul\\
Flowers of... our brighter past\\
They bloomed so free\\
Beneath the sun\\
\\
Memories...\\
I want to give them to you...\\
So you can see...\\
What we left there...\\
\\
When all hope bleeds out,\\
what remains is doubt\\
Should've left it all for you\\
for tomorrow...\\
\\
As your time draws near,\\
will you live in fear?\\
Could've left it all for you,\\
but we let go...\\
