Now I lay me down to sleep
Free me from this nightmare’s keep
Can you hear my voice, I’m calling, calling
Will you take my hand and lead me home Hear me calling
Will you take my hand and lead me home - Track Name: The Beginning of the End
-
Chorus:
Awake O Sleeper, for your time has come
The dreaming is over and the nightmare has just begun
Verse 1:
She hails from the beautiful country of Romania,
Roxanne living in the city of Oradea
The radio waves reach and play from Hungary
She listens as she’s sitting in her bed feeling hungry
While her dad’s drinking rum, spending money at the pub
She’s looking to her mummy to fill her tummy up
But it’s funny ‘cause the money never seems to be lasting
The ‘Black Tar Trade’ puts your pocket in a casket
At fifteen she knows nothing of this
But soon she’ll question what it means to exist
Because this is the beginning of the end
Wake O sleeper because it’s time to descend
Transcending reality no time to pretend
Inhuman brutality with no time to mend
Wake O sleeper because it’s morning again
And today, it’s the beginning of the end
Chorus
Verse 2:
Roxanne wakes up on this fateful morning
Looks to the sky it’s the calm before the storm
When her home’s transformed to a trafficking store
Because her father can’t afford the Black Tar anymore He resorts to exploring more options
But he’s not finding any that won’t cost him
Because it’s costly fostering this profession
His boss demands he hands over all possessions
What was once a mere obsession now sees his demise
As he stares his only daughter in the eyes
And cries out and tries to tear from this dream
Wake O sleeper from this nightmare’s scheme
The fiends take her away into darkness
Roxanne is broken down until her heart is
Battered and bruised and never new again
Your time has come, it’s the beginning of the end
Bridge:
Though you don’t know what you’ve done
To deserve what’s to come
Awake O sleeper, the nightmare has just begun
Chorus - Track Name: Shadow of the Grave
-
Verse 1
Can you hear the sound of the silence
Can you hear the rising of lies
Can you feel the tension of violence
As it rises, as it rises
Can you hear the screaming of sirens
Can you see the tears in the eyes
Can you see the beauty in an iris
If it’s lifeless, if it’s life’s been
Broken like a vase that is dropped and shattering
Hoping for a taste of the water as it’s scattering
Trampled on the concrete floor like an animal
Feeling stone cold but her heart is an emerald
Behold this child who is one of a kind
A rose among thorns, but not in her mind
Because her life’s been stripped, and taken away
And now she’s left alone on this journey to decay
Chorus:
Now I lay me/Down in the shadow of the grave Lay down where you belong little girl
Can you hear me screaming at the top of my lungs?
I feel like my whole world has come undone Come undone
Verse 2:
I can see the terror in your eyes
I can hear the fear in your voice I will turn your screaming into silence
Be still you have no choice
I am scared I am oh so fearful
I don’t know what is going on
You have robbed my hope, my soul
Roxanne is gone away
From this place
I can’t run, so I hide my face
Roxanne, I am gone away
I am lost in the darkness of the pain
Chorus - Track Name: Heart Stop Beating
-
Heart stop beating cause I hate the sound it makes in the room all alone
Fire water numbs the pain of this hell
I’m merely an echo, shadow of what I once was before
Too many like me have lost their voice
and refuse to speak of the pain -
Who wants to relive the nightmare that consumes the day?
Why don’t you look me in the eye as you walk through the door?
Turn out the light, as the nightmare consumes me once more. - Track Name: I Will Stand
-
Verse 1:
The time is drawing near, you can look into his eyes
Feel the flame of his vengeance, the fire of the lies
That permeate the room, it's a fight to the death
Death of the marriage where there's no winner left
His anger swells, and hell's gates are opened
His wife’s unleashed, romance broken
He walks away with a flame in his soul
The fire still burns like a graveyard coal
The wayward hold of a Jezebel sneer
Lingers in his mind like a whisper in the ear
The lion will strike from the shadows of death
And the beast will devour like 2 to the chest
So his breath is heaving, excitement rising,
Adrenaline flooding, as he's fixing his eyes, on a girl
No the prize, no the object of demise
Satisfy my craving while I lay down to die
Chorus:
I will stand in the face of death
I will run even when I have no breath
I will fly though my wings are broken
I will be free again
Verse 2
He gets a one way ticket to Amsterdam
Gonna live the life that he wished he never had
Gonna release the anger on a scarlet bed
Hit the red light district cause all he sees is red
He spreads the lie that's caught and deceives him,
That love will come through the woman who receives him
Believes it'll relieve the grieving pain easy
But bleeding hearts need to bleed for a season
Instead he treads on new earth
Looking for a new place to find his worth,
So he walks down the strip-mall looking for his winnings
In the shop windows all he sees are these women
Giving him a river flowing full of options
But he walks on by their vivacious seductions
And places his gaze on an Eastern girl
Shy and scared, but has the beauty of a pearl
She's intimidated by his animated desire
Feeling bated and degraded like she's burning in a fire
As he talks to her boss she knows
They're discussing the cost, but all she wants is just to say no
Chorus:
Verse 3
He makes his move like a well-tuned criminal
Bruised and battered, she's treated like an animal
He asks her name, but she knows he doesn't care
She replies, Roxanne, with a voice that's barely there
She can tell by his accent, that he's American
Not only that, his demeanor screams arrogance
The cross around his neck casts out confusion
"How can God be real if he lets me get abused"
She stifles the tears welling in her eye
and She pushes away the hand that's at her thigh
Cries out for freedom, and tries to get out
But she's making him angry, so begins the bout
He knocks on her on the floor, so she scrambles and runs
Leaves this inhuman beast feeling stunned
But her boss spots the mess and yes intervenes
Calm the American, but to Roxanne screams
Obscenities she has never heard before
He beats her so bad, she can't get off the floor,
In his anger he sells her to Spanish man
Roxanne sweet dreams, say goodnight to Amsterdam
Chorus: - Track Name: Woman of the Night
-
Verse 1:
Welcome to the dead end street where you might as well eat the fat of the land
I’ll tell you what you need to know to be a woman of the night and just let go
Cause I was once like you And you will soon be me
And we’re all the tool of a selfish gentleman’s ecstasy
So don’t be afraid cause we’re all just slaves on our way to the grave
It’s time to embrace
No hope, no point trying to taste it
Cause I was once like you And you will soon be me
And we’re all just used as a tool to pursue a fool’s fantasy
Chorus:
The time has come it’s now or none
Time to prove yourself tonight With the setting of the sun don’t hide or run
Cause you are now a woman of the night (Now I lay me down to sleep Free me from this nightmare’s keep)
Verse 2:
Welcome to the rock at the bottom
Where there’s no moving up don’t even bother to try
Now follow my orders or you’re going to force me to forfeit the freedom of your mind
I see you taking steps in the right direction, you’re learning from the best of the best
Now the rest is you, go do what you do,
You belong to me, don’t ever get it confused
Cause I was once like you And you will soon be me
Cause I worked my from the bottom to the top of this industry
There’s no escape cause we’re all just slaves on our way to the grave I’m just making more than you, so now follow my orders,
Because you’re long over due.
Chorus - Track Name: The Voice
-
Now I lay me down to sleep
Free me from this nightmare’s keep
Can you hear my voice, I’m calling, calling
Can you take my hand and lead me home
Hear me calling
Will you take my hand and lead me home - Track Name: The Voice Inside
-
I am empty but for the voice inside
I am weary but for the voice inside,
You know you have a voice
You know you have a voice inside
The voice inside is crying out
The voice is calling out
You know you have a voice
Hear me calling, Lead me home
You know you have a voice
You know you have a voice inside
I am empty but for the voice inside
I am weary but for the voice inside - Track Name: Roxanne
-
Chorus:
Roxanne, you don’t have to put on that red light
Walk the streets for money, you don’t have to sell your body to the night
Verse 1
Roxanne, a beautiful girl
Making good money in the under world
Learning the magic of earning worthy money back quick
Turning a burden to automatically drastic
Measures to weather the storm
New pleasures for tethering the scorn
You can't know joy till you go through pain
She's a veteran of lettering the voice refrain
The stain of last night's shame persists
Through the haze of her smoked cocaine stained lips
Looking like a ghost both pale and thin
Alcohol induced to reduce the chagrin
When will the nightmare end?
Looking forward to her dreams where she transcends
She can hear a calm voice calling out her name
She hears this voice in her dream say
Chorus
Verse 2
Roxanne, feeling cold and lonely
Sold to the hole in her soul enfolding
No room in the inn of her mind Cause there are too many using the rooms for their crimes
The neon shines a flickering red
Like the stain of wine dripping on her death bed
The lies infect from dusk till dawn
When the nightmare rests and the dreams turn on
She hears the voice of freedom
A song that brings her healing
Rescued by an unknown being
Filling her sleep with a life full of meaning
If only it could last through the night
If only she could grasp escape insight
She can hear a calm voice calling out her name
She hears this voice in her dream say
Chorus
Verse 3
Roxanne, looking for a saving life
Blazing her way through the maze of the night
She’s dazed and confused by the pain of the fight
Days of abuse as a prey to the night
Turn to condemnation
No grace becomes desperation
To a woman who hardly breathes
She heals in her sleep and lives in her dreams
Where she hears this voice of silence
Calm in the storm peace in the violence
Never wanna open up her eyelids
Wishing these dreams would really be timeless
A faceless voice in the dark
Calling her name and setting her apart
Hope filling her lungs numbing the pain
She hears this voice in her dreaming say
Chorus - Track Name: Finale
-
Verse 1:
I hear a voice call out my name
In my darkest hour
A voice of hope, a voice of peace
A voice strength when I am weak
Though I am weary, though I am broken
Though I don’t know who you are,
You’re in my dreams
Verse 2:
I’ve tried crying, I’ve tried screaming,
But I’m choked in the silence of the night.
I’ve tried hiding, I’ve tried running
But my legs won’t carry me home
Though I am weary, though I am broken
Though I don’t know who you are,
You’re in my dreams
Chorus:
This nightmare releases its grip on me
As long as I hear your voice
Call out my name
I will believe
I will be strong
Bridge:
The voice inside will lead me home
The voice inside, when I’m all alone
Chorus
