Verse I:

As I hear your empty words

that threaten the well-being of my heart,

My Love is still Dispelled as my Innocence is Taken

Pre-Chorus:

Without a Trace,

Without a Trace,

Happiness seemingly Fades.

Chorus:

Love is Hate

Hate is Love,

What's Real is Fantasized

As these years waste away

I only have myself to blame.

Verse II:

All these Unspoken Words

I never seem to be able to utter.

This weight on my shoulders gets heavy

with all these damn knives in my back.

Pre-Chorus:

Without a Trace,

Without a Trace,

Happiness seemingly Fades.

Chorus:

Love is Hate,

Hate is Love;

What's Real is Fantasized.

As these years waste away,

I only have myself to blame.

Verse III:

You have won this battle

But your hate was your downfall in the war to come.

The War that ends with my Victory over my enemies.

Not by Bloodshed, Hate, nor Vengeance.

But by Love, Mercy, and Valor.

Outro:

As I free myself from this self-inflicted misery,

these Unspoken words a battle cry I shout as I lead myself into the Final

War. The Loved Ones wish me luck. A kiss of luck upon my cheek.

As I step in front of the Mirror and face the Ultimate Enemy...

Myself
