Track Name: The City of Fallen Angels
I walk in the fields that don't exist
A morning where the rich don't assist
A poor old soul who needs a hand to help him go
To get where he needs to go, to and fro

And autumn sky fills the clouds with dust and rain
Fire and brimstone fill the streets with only pain
The cry of victims is not going to be heard
Even the final breath; the last man's dying words

In the city of fallen angels
There is nothing for you to do
You can't choose the life of justice
The life of crime will choose you

A waking cry comes from a child's room
Someone's broken in and his parents are gone too soon
But no one will save him now from his certain fate
Because, as we know, help is just too late

In the city of fallen angels
There is nothing for you to do
You can't choose the life of justice
The life of crime will choose you
Track Name: I Want You
I followed you here to this sacred place
Then you turned your back on me
You pretended you weren't free
Now I wish tears could pour down upon my face
Guess who is not free anymore

I was wrong to keep such a hold on you
To not let you talk to men
Fearing I might never see you again
Well, it turns out, childish girl, I was right
Not that it really matters anymore

Sometimes I think of all the memories that were
Shared between us way back when
I loved you, I cared too much
Now all is cold that I touch
And the memories are dead

Sometimes, I still want you
Though I don't love you anymore
For our love was such a chore to begin with
When you're down and out and you are broken
And you are out of love
I won't be waiting here for you

I'll just pack my bags and head out for the road
Who knows where I will be
The next time you hear from me
Not that it really matters to you
I'll stay out of your way from now on

Sometimes I think of all the memories that were
Shared between us way back when
I loved you, I cared too much
Now all is cold that I touch
And the memories are dead

Sometimes, I still want you
Though I don't love you anymore
For our love was such a chore to begin with
When you're down and out and you are broken
And you are out of love
I won't be waiting here for you

You will head back to the place where we grew up
And I will see the world
Maybe find myself a girl
But, little miss, I will not settle down
For I can no longer be contained
Track Name: To Have Never Loved (Live)
As a child, I was told, I would love one day
Have my heart stolen away
Oh how true those words became
When you stole and broke my aching heart
My love was not yet gone
Conclusions not yet drawn
Though you had abandoned me
You left me out in the cold
To bargain for my dreams you sold
To buy yourself another man
To end and mutilate my plans
And how could I have dealt with this
When you didn't say goodbye?
You didn't tell me why
You would do this to me

It wasn't over; 'twas far from
The memories had just begun
But your ego stopped them
From moving on again
I guess I should have seen it coming
For, in life, that's my lot
And with all those times we fought
I should have felt it
But how could I know you'd leave me for
Some other guy?
I'll move on with eyes dried
I'll try to make sense of this
But how can I make sense of you
When you make no sense at all?
I'd give you a call
But you're probably with him

I don't wish you luck, I don't hope you're well
Don't wish happiness at all
And when your dreams fall
He won't be there for you
Now I know it's better to have never loved
Then to've loved and been crossed
To have your future lost
By a girl who's lied to you
