---

Alone once more, thrown into a pit of despair,

Knowing you lied, knowing no one cared.

The cage comes down, walls are crashing in,

I'm racked by hate, rage, fear and loathing again

[solo: Rick]

Alone again, no this can't be true,

Cut by yourself, my heart ripped in two,

You took my soul, and you cut out its fight

Destroyed my life, and did it only for spite.

Alone once more,

You can't imagine how the hatred burns

Alone once more

It's happened once too many times but now I've learned

Alone again

Never to trust another soul for as long as I live

Alone forever

Trust sliced away but I had so much more to give

Friends drift away.

for all they see is a broken man,

Sanity fades, I grasp reality as long as I can.

Thoughts become vague,

fractured senses distort the world I know,

Falling fast now, on your name revenge I bestow

[acoustic solo: Rick]

I had so much left in life to give

All I wanted was a place to live

All I wanted was a place to grow

But you cut me down and made me go

Bleak desolation, empty town of bad memories

Faces in windows, no one there but still I can see

Names come from nowhere,

unreal objects thrown at my back

Sanity breaks, I take no more I finally crack

Alone once more,

You can't imagine how the hatred burns

Alone once more

It's happened once too many times but now I've learned

Alone again

Never to trust another soul for as long as I live

Alone forever

Trust ripped away but I had so much left to give

[solo: Rick]
