"Disappoint" by Assemblage 23

Just one more time,
for the sake of sanity,
tell me why,
explain the gravity,
that drove you to this,
that brought you to this place,
that pushed you down,
into the souls embrace,
give me the chance,
I was denied,
To sit and talk with you for one last time.

Did I disappoint you,
Did I let you down?
Did I stand on the shore and watch you as you drowned?
Can you forgive me?
I never knew,
the pain you carried deep inside of you.

I can't forget,
Having to see,
Words that knock the wind right out of me.
It's not enough,
I've come undone,
Trying to find sense where there is none.
Just give me peace,
You owe me that,
To help ward off the fears, I must come back.

Did I disappoint you,
Did I let you down?
Did I stand on the shore and watch you as you drowned?
Can you forgive me?
I never knew,
the pain you carried deep inside of you.

And so I ask,
For one more chance,
To understand this senseless circumstance,
I need to see,
This through your eyes,
For reasons I've been trying to surmise.
Though you're gone,
I'm still your son.
All your pain,
mine has just begun.

Did I disappoint you,
Did I let you down?
Did I stand on the shore and watch you as you drowned?
Can you forgive me?
I never knew,
the pain you carried deep inside of you.
Did I disappoint you,
Did I let you down?
Did I stand on the shore and watch you as you drowned?
Can you forgive me?
I never knew,
the pain you carried deep inside of you.

"Tour de Force" by Covenant

you burn the ground to hold your position
you ran away if I came too close
you kept track of balance and pressure
all the dreams and desires
I want some more

red
black
green for te jackpot

take you down
I want to take you down
I want to take you down with me

we had the motion we had the grace
we had a sense of time and place
we wrote the rules we played the game
and it would never be the same
it was the beauty while we played
we played to win but no one did
we grew old we moved ahead
from dance hall days for higher stakes

you spun the wheel to keep my attention
you danced away if I missed a beat
you were queen of present and future
I was king and cavalier
on our tour de force

"Stalker" by Covenant

in transit you pass among the strangers of the world
paying tribute to the thief who stole away your shadow
you look into the bedrock and listen to the bells
calling liquid lust
call for solid white

I see the stalker in your face
the secrets of your skin
I keep the wisdom that you need
the password that you want
I feel the stalker in your mind
the fire in you veins
no hope to be released

I'm a multitude of travels to the other side
through the broken wall I saw your fellow man
to the west of the horizon there's a bitter wind
and if you try
you sense the smell of your face

for you found the keyhole
but lost your backbone
no courage left to join the march of endless time
you saw the sleep of habit on those who walk in trance
to their catatonic aimless lives

so let them start the engine grinding mountain dust
and reproduce your ego
too much is not enough

you dig holes through the earth to meet the king of worms
to steal away his wisdom and learn to decompose
you chant like fifty indians to charm the prince of eagles
to learn the art of seeing and the tongue of the winds

so don't you try to fool me for I watch your every move
we are kindred spirits like two voices in the wild
