lyrics

I lost half my life today
My reasons for living
No wife, no child
No family or best friend
Nowhere to go
No one to go with
No one to be concerned for
No one to truly care
All preconceptions lost
A life with no life
A desert in my soul
A heart more than broken

The ocean is wide and smiles at the sun
The sky is clear and full of fear
Wind of change, winds of indifference
I look out and see no one breathing

The day is long and takes what it can
The night is sure and full of what is sad
Hand of compassion, hands of blame
Can’t we put aside what we are… no

The picture unframed and one half lost
The life it captured now half gone
Peace of mind or a mind gone mad
These are the things that consume me now

A child of habit knows
The creature in us all is never satisfied
Truth be known, but only by a few
These are the days talked about of old

[Lance Higdon's lyrics at end of song]

(Scream by Jeff Price, Scott Ritter, and Tsunehiro Sato)

Hoc nauta vires colligit
Pontique mitescunt freta
Hoc ipse petra Ecclesiae
Canente, culpam diluit.

Jesu, labantes respice,
Et nos videndo corrige;
Si respicis, lapsus cadunt,
Fletuque culpa solvitur.

O God, on the wings of the
Six-winged seraphim,
Open Your Heart
With the Spirit of God covering the waters
Jesus, Heart most compassionate,
Bear up those who are falling
On the banks
Of the shore
Of the city
Of your founding
Have mercy on us, Lord.
Have mercy on us.
