Asylum
Release me
No remnants were ever found of it
Feeling the hot bile
With every fake smile
Though no evidence was ever found
It never went away completely
I try to hide from the unholy sound of it
Another day gone
Another night's dawn
Dark forces pull me underground
And never went away completely
How can I feel this empty?
I will not recover this time
This loneliness is killing me
Will I never know peace of mind again?
I don't believe it
I can't achieve it
I think it all is just another sign
It never went away completely
Terror is coursing in me
Dreading the final moments
Where I have to be
And feel you die
In Asylum (I live a lie)
Don't you know I'm in love with you
And I wasn't ready
For Asylum (Relive a lie)
To let go
Now it's dragging me into your grave
Your Asylum (Forget the lie)
Overcome and the feeling that I won't get to join you in time
For the loneliness is killing me
Death's images are all around again
They're right behind me
They're gonna find me
Judgment for the immortal sin
That has enveloped me completely
I know I'll never know a peaceful night again
Afraid they'll hear me
They don't fear me
Punishment for the immortal crime
That debt was never paid completely
Terror is coursing in me
Dreading the final moments
Where I have to be
And feel you die
In Asylum (I live a lie)
Don't you know I'm in love with you
And I wasn't ready
For Asylum (Relive a lie)
To let go
Now it's dragging me into your grave
Your Asylum (Forget the lie)
Overcome and the feeling that I won't get to join you in time
For the loneliness is killing me
In the end there will be no suffering (more suffering)
In the end we will find out everything (not everything)
In the end you may question your belief (what belief)
In the end you will realize someday
How you were saved
This has gone on too long (too long)
No more demonic Dreams
Destroyer come to light
Because the memory is killing me
In Asylum (I live a lie)
I let go
now it's dragging me into your grave
For Asylum (We live a lie)
Overcome and the feeling that I won't get to join you in time
This world is not fulfilling me
Don't make me live in Asylum
I live alive
Don't want to live in Asylum
I live a lie
Don't make me live in Asylum
I am a lie
No remnants were ever found of it
Feeling the hot bile
With every fake smile
Though no evidence was ever found
It never went away completely
I try to hide from the unholy sound of it
Another day gone
Another night's dawn
Dark forces pull me underground
And never went away completely
How can I feel this empty?
I will not recover this time
This loneliness is killing me
Will I never know peace of mind again?
I don't believe it
I can't achieve it
I think it all is just another sign
It never went away completely
Terror is coursing in me
Dreading the final moments
Where I have to be
And feel you die
In Asylum (I live a lie)
Don't you know I'm in love with you
And I wasn't ready
For Asylum (Relive a lie)
To let go
Now it's dragging me into your grave
Your Asylum (Forget the lie)
Overcome and the feeling that I won't get to join you in time
For the loneliness is killing me
Death's images are all around again
They're right behind me
They're gonna find me
Judgment for the immortal sin

The Infection
In the back of my mind I can
Barely even remember when
There was nothing left to hide and
She had found her way inside then
I was forced to walk alone
Living in an empty home
All I wanted was to hide and
Try to numb the ache inside
And I'm still afraid of the lights
And a thousand voices share their
Laughter at my demise
Now if I am to survive
The infection must die
Murder the beast
That's been eating me alive
The infection must die
Nothing left but a broken man
Terrified of everything
Nothing left of his foolish pride, his
Fond memories slowly die, then
As he wakes again alone
Still a prisoner in his home
Ready to allow the dark to
Penetrate his broken heart
And he's still afraid of the light
And a thousand voices share their
Laughter at his demise
Now if I am to survive
The infection must die
Murder the beast
That's been eating me alive
The infection must die
Come on, motherf*cker
Now if I am to survive
The infection must die
Murder the beast
That's been eating me alive
The infection must die
This is where I draw the line
This infection must die
Give me release from this demon of mine
The infection must die
The infection must die
Barely even remember when
There was nothing left to hide and
She had found her way inside then
I was forced to walk alone
Living in an empty home
All I wanted was to hide and
Try to numb the ache inside
And I'm still afraid of the lights
And a thousand voices share their
Laughter at my demise
Now if I am to survive
The infection must die
Murder the beast
That's been eating me alive
The infection must die
Nothing left but a broken man
Terrified of everything
Nothing left of his foolish pride, his
Fond memories slowly die, then
As he wakes again alone
Still a prisoner in his home
Ready to allow the dark to
Penetrate his broken heart
And he's still afraid of the light
And a thousand voices share their
Laughter at his demise
Now if I am to survive
The infection must die
Murder the beast
That's been eating me alive
The infection must die
Come on, motherf*cker
Now if I am to survive
The infection must die
Murder the beast
That's been eating me alive
The infection must die
This is where I draw the line
This infection must die
Give me release from this demon of mine
The infection must die
The infection must die

Warrior
I am now an instrument of violence
I am a vessel of invincibility
I cannot leave this undecided
Stepping down to battle another day
Remember me for all time this
Determination is a vital part of me
Surrender now or be counted
With the endless masses that I will defeat
[Pre-Chorus:]
Come on bring it, don't sing it
Better believe it
Broken down, till your hope has died
Beat down till the victory is mine
Stand up and show me some pride
And now, are you ready?
[Chorus:]
I'm one with the warrior inside
My dominance can't be denied
Your entire world will turn
Into a battlefield tonight
As I look upon you through
The warrior's eyes now
I can see the fear that will
Ensure my victory this time
I can't be told to compromise this
They'll never doubt the body lying at my feet
A most formidable reminder
They will speak my name for eternity
I have no need of any guidance
I am a weapon powerful beyond belief
Seen through the warrior's eyes
I never need to question how to defeat you
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
You can't hide now
I am the warrior
So decide now
How they'll remember you
Do not hide now
Act like a warrior
Show your pride now
Solidify your place in time
[Chorus]
I'm one with the warrior inside
The evidence can't be denied
The entire world will stare
Into this battlefield tonight
As I stand before you
With a warrior's heart now
I can feel the strength that will
Ensure my victory this time
I am a vessel of invincibility
I cannot leave this undecided
Stepping down to battle another day
Remember me for all time this
Determination is a vital part of me
Surrender now or be counted
With the endless masses that I will defeat
[Pre-Chorus:]
Come on bring it, don't sing it
Better believe it
Broken down, till your hope has died
Beat down till the victory is mine
Stand up and show me some pride
And now, are you ready?
[Chorus:]
I'm one with the warrior inside
My dominance can't be denied
Your entire world will turn
Into a battlefield tonight
As I look upon you through
The warrior's eyes now
I can see the fear that will
Ensure my victory this time
I can't be told to compromise this
They'll never doubt the body lying at my feet
A most formidable reminder
They will speak my name for eternity
I have no need of any guidance
I am a weapon powerful beyond belief
Seen through the warrior's eyes
I never need to question how to defeat you
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
You can't hide now
I am the warrior
So decide now
How they'll remember you
Do not hide now
Act like a warrior
Show your pride now
Solidify your place in time
[Chorus]
I'm one with the warrior inside
The evidence can't be denied
The entire world will stare
Into this battlefield tonight
As I stand before you
With a warrior's heart now
I can feel the strength that will
Ensure my victory this time

Another Way To Die
The indulgence of our lives
Has cast a shadow on our world
Our devotion to our appetites
Betrayed us all
An apocalyptic plight
More destruction will unfold
Mother Earth will show her darker side
And take her toll
It's just another way to die
There can be no other reason why
You know we should have seen it coming.
Consequences we cannot deny
Will be revealed in time
Glaciers melt as we pollute the sky
A sign of devastation coming
We don't need another way to die
Will we repent in time?
The time bomb is ticking
And no one is listening.
Our future is fading
Is there any hope we'll survive?
Still, we ravage the world that we love
And the millions cry out to be saved
Our endless maniacal appetite
Left us with another way to die
It's just another way to die
Ooh can we repent in time?
Greed and hunger led to our demise
A path I can't believe we followed
Black agendas rooted in a lie
Ooh can we repent in time?
Species fall before our very eyes
A world they cannot survive in
Left them with another way to die
Are we dead inside?
The time bomb is ticking
And no one is listening
Our future is fading
Is there any hope we'll survive?
Still, we ravage the world that we love
And the millions cry out to be saved
Our endless maniacal appetite
Left us with another way to die
It's just another way to die
Still, we ravage the world that we love
And the millions cry out to be saved
Our endless maniacal appetite
Left us with another way to die
It's just another way to die
Ooh can we repent in time?
It's just another way to die
Ooh can we repent in time?
It's just another way to die
Can we repent in time?
Has cast a shadow on our world
Our devotion to our appetites
Betrayed us all
An apocalyptic plight
More destruction will unfold
Mother Earth will show her darker side
And take her toll
It's just another way to die
There can be no other reason why
You know we should have seen it coming.
Consequences we cannot deny
Will be revealed in time
Glaciers melt as we pollute the sky
A sign of devastation coming
We don't need another way to die
Will we repent in time?
The time bomb is ticking
And no one is listening.
Our future is fading
Is there any hope we'll survive?
Still, we ravage the world that we love
And the millions cry out to be saved
Our endless maniacal appetite
Left us with another way to die
It's just another way to die
Ooh can we repent in time?
Greed and hunger led to our demise
A path I can't believe we followed

Ooh can we repent in time?

Left us with another way to die
It's just another way to die
Ooh can we repent in time?
It's just another way to die
Ooh can we repent in time?
It's just another way to die
Can we repent in time?

Never Again
Never Again...
Never Again...
They had a frightening desire for genocide
They wouldn't stop 'til what was left of my family died
Hell-bent on taking over the world
You couldn't hide in the shroud of conformity
We can't forget how we were devastated by the beast
And how we pleaded with our captors for release
We were hunted for no reason at all
One of the darkest times in our history
All that I have left inside
Is a soul that's filled with pride
I tell you Never Again
Their depraved society
Didn't end up killing me
Scream with me Never Again
Not again
A generation that was persecuted endlessly
Exterminated by the Nazi war machine
We will remember, let the story be told
To realize how we lost our humanity
You dare to tell me that there never was a Holocaust
You think that history will leave the memory lost
Another Hitler using fear to control
You're gonna fail this time for the world to see
All that I have left inside
Is a soul that's filled with pride
I tell you Never Again
Their depraved society
Didn't end up killing me
Scream with me Never Again
Not again
All that I have left inside
Is a soul that's filled with pride
I tell you Never Again
Their depraved society
Didn't end up killing me
Scream with me, Never Again
For the countless souls who died
Let our voices fill this night
Sing with me, Never Again
They aren't lost you see
The truth will live in me
Believe me, Never Again
Never Again...

The Animal
Now!
I can feel the animal inside
My resolve is weakening
Pounding at the doors of my mind
It's nearly overpowering
I cannot begin to describe
The hunger that I feel again
Run if you intend to survive
For the beast is coming to life
Taking form in the glimmer in this tainted moonlight
Death approaches on this night
For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight
I can hear it calling again
The primal need is filling me
Changes are about to begin
And now my blood is boiling
I can see the fear in your eyes
But you can't bring yourself to scream
Time to shed the mortal disguise
For the beast is coming to life
Taking form in the glimmer of this tainted moonlight
Death approaches on this night
For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight
We begin the hunt and I
Feel the power course, as the creatures take flight
For the kill is close and I will be satisfied
For the smell of fear tonight
Wakes an ancient lust that will not be denied
You're mine
For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight
For the animal's soul is mine
And the world around will never hear your cries
An unholy crime
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight
I can feel the animal inside
My resolve is weakening
Pounding at the doors of my mind
It's nearly overpowering
I cannot begin to describe
The hunger that I feel again
Run if you intend to survive
For the beast is coming to life
Taking form in the glimmer in this tainted moonlight
Death approaches on this night
For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight
I can hear it calling again
The primal need is filling me
Changes are about to begin
And now my blood is boiling
I can see the fear in your eyes
But you can't bring yourself to scream
Time to shed the mortal disguise
For the beast is coming to life
Taking form in the glimmer of this tainted moonlight
Death approaches on this night
For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight
We begin the hunt and I
Feel the power course, as the creatures take flight
For the kill is close and I will be satisfied
For the smell of fear tonight
Wakes an ancient lust that will not be denied
You're mine
For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight
For the animal's soul is mine
And the world around will never hear your cries
An unholy crime
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight

Crucified
When others left before
I could bear to turn away
Now that it's come to this
Is there nothing left to say?
I've never known before
Such exquisite suffering
As I watched you walk away
I gave into panicking
I can't believe that
This is really happening
Am I really lost again?
Desperation drives me insane
[Chorus:]
I will focus all the pain
Right into your heart
Till it makes you blind
Till the faces of your former world
Have fallen from your sight
Till you're mine
Until the voice of doubt no longer
Dominates your mind
I'm crucified
Cold and unwhole again
Crying out and questioning
Will I ever love again?
What's the point of anything?
It takes a toll again
This is where the fun begins
Visions haunt me through the night
Now I'm dying for your sins
I can't believe that
If you look me in the face
You can say there's nothing left
How the silence drives me insane
[Chorus]
I cannot feel anything
Anger I've been harboring
You've nailed me to the cross
Upon it I will remain
I can't feel anything
Rage inside is festering
You've nailed me to the cross
Upon it I will remain
[Chorus]
Till it makes you blind
Till the faces of your former world
Have fallen from your sight
Till you're mine
Until the voice of doubt no longer
Dominates your mind
I'm crucified
I could bear to turn away
Now that it's come to this
Is there nothing left to say?
I've never known before
Such exquisite suffering
As I watched you walk away
I gave into panicking
I can't believe that
This is really happening
Am I really lost again?
Desperation drives me insane
[Chorus:]
I will focus all the pain
Right into your heart
Till it makes you blind
Till the faces of your former world
Have fallen from your sight
Till you're mine
Until the voice of doubt no longer
Dominates your mind
I'm crucified
Cold and unwhole again
Crying out and questioning
Will I ever love again?
What's the point of anything?
It takes a toll again
This is where the fun begins
Visions haunt me through the night
Now I'm dying for your sins
I can't believe that
If you look me in the face
You can say there's nothing left
How the silence drives me insane
[Chorus]
I cannot feel anything
Anger I've been harboring
You've nailed me to the cross
Upon it I will remain
I can't feel anything
Rage inside is festering
You've nailed me to the cross
Upon it I will remain
[Chorus]
Till it makes you blind
Till the faces of your former world
Have fallen from your sight
Till you're mine
Until the voice of doubt no longer
Dominates your mind
I'm crucified

Serpentine
See the dogs come running
Smelling blood now
To an open sore
On a parasite
Countless hearts have fallen
Hard to number
Damnation's whore
Is looking for a victim tonight
With an angry soul
And a wicked design
Your will cannot endure
And your heart is torn away
I was caught up in the moment
You were alone and
You seemed to harness the light
Even though I felt cold inside
When you told me it would be alright
I had given up control and
I didn't focus hard enough to see
The warning signs
Your heart is serpentine
Damn what I'm becoming
One of them now
Just an opened door
On an endless night
Dark desire burning
In my blood now
How can I be sure?
I don't know if I'll be able to fight
With a tortured soul
And an honest design
My will cannot endure
If my heart is torn away
I was caught up in the moment
You were alone and
You seemed to harness the light
Even though I felt cold inside
When you told me it would be alright
I had given up control and
I didn't focus hard enough to see
The warning signs
Your heart is serpentine
Now that I've been torn apart
Will there be an end to this?
Will there finally be release?
Will I finally rest in peace?
I'm determined to believe
My prayers will be received
With a tortured soul
And an honest design
My will cannot endure
As my heart is torn away
I was caught up in the moment
You were alone and
You seemed to harness the light
Even though I felt cold inside
When you told me it would be alright
I had given up control and
I didn't focus hard enough to see
The warning signs
Your heart is serpentine
The warning signs
Your heart is serpentine
Evil personified
Your heart is serpentine
Smelling blood now
To an open sore
On a parasite
Countless hearts have fallen
Hard to number
Damnation's whore
Is looking for a victim tonight
With an angry soul
And a wicked design
Your will cannot endure
And your heart is torn away
I was caught up in the moment
You were alone and
You seemed to harness the light
Even though I felt cold inside
When you told me it would be alright
I had given up control and
I didn't focus hard enough to see
The warning signs
Your heart is serpentine
Damn what I'm becoming
One of them now
Just an opened door

Dark desire burning
In my blood now
How can I be sure?
I don't know if I'll be able to fight

If my heart is torn away
I was caught up in the moment

My Child
Tore it up again, I couldn't stop again
Letting go till there was nothing in the way
F*ck the feeling then, I cave in again
Sweet surrender to the angel I deny
When you came to life I was terrified
I knew that nothing else would ever feel the same
Doubt came over me, what kind of father would I be?
Another time I could stand up and be a man
To change a face in my life
(To change a face in my life)
Your future and mine
(Your future and mine)
Time to do what is right
(what is right)
A new beginning
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Would you redeem my child?
No serenity within agony
Every day brings on
A hundred ways to fight
Constant scrutiny
I can feel you judging me
Resurrecting every demon that's inside
The priest was horrified
You struggled for the life
That one desire was the dream I sought for yours
Creeps cripple me, the reaper kidded me
Left me early for the path I'd come to adore
To change a face in my life
Your future and mine
Time to do what is right
(what is right)
A new beginning
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Would you redeem my child?
My child,
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Would you redeem my child?
I pray you will redeem my child
Letting go till there was nothing in the way
F*ck the feeling then, I cave in again
Sweet surrender to the angel I deny
When you came to life I was terrified
I knew that nothing else would ever feel the same
Doubt came over me, what kind of father would I be?
Another time I could stand up and be a man
To change a face in my life
(To change a face in my life)
Your future and mine
(Your future and mine)
Time to do what is right
(what is right)
A new beginning
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin

This has happened to me?

(what is right)
A new beginning
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Would you redeem my child?
My child,
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Would you redeem my child?
I pray you will redeem my child

Sacrifice
I will forever be reminded
Of how I struggled to survive
The betrayal that you conspired in
All that devotion thrown away
And with everything I confided
I should have known not to trust again
This insanity has divided
Left me with nothing left to destroy
I'm becoming so paranoid
Everyone is so paranoid
In a moment you will see my other side
When I'm confronted
My demeanor turns from Jekyll into Hyde
[Chorus:]
Hell has broken free tonight
No pale deception anymore
You awoke him, now he will
Feed on the lies
He demands your sacrifice
I can barely control this feeling
Look at the murder in my eyes
I was never good at concealing
Violent thoughts have come to life
Horror will have a deeper meaning
You are the reason this began
Even now I can hear you screaming
There's only one thing left to destroy
And I'll no longer be paranoid
No more reason to be annoyed
In a moment you will see my other side
When I'm confronted
My demeanor turns from Jekyll into Hyde
[Chorus]
Hell has broken free tonight
No pale deception anymore
You awoke him, now he will
Feed on the lies
[Chorus]
Of how I struggled to survive
The betrayal that you conspired in
All that devotion thrown away
And with everything I confided
I should have known not to trust again
This insanity has divided
Left me with nothing left to destroy
I'm becoming so paranoid
Everyone is so paranoid
In a moment you will see my other side
When I'm confronted
My demeanor turns from Jekyll into Hyde
[Chorus:]
Hell has broken free tonight
No pale deception anymore
You awoke him, now he will
Feed on the lies
He demands your sacrifice
I can barely control this feeling
Look at the murder in my eyes
I was never good at concealing
Violent thoughts have come to life
Horror will have a deeper meaning
You are the reason this began
Even now I can hear you screaming
There's only one thing left to destroy
And I'll no longer be paranoid
No more reason to be annoyed
In a moment you will see my other side
When I'm confronted
My demeanor turns from Jekyll into Hyde
[Chorus]
Hell has broken free tonight
No pale deception anymore
You awoke him, now he will
Feed on the lies
[Chorus]

Innocence
Who is innocent?
No one is innocent?
Who is innocent?
Who is innocent?
No one is innocent?
Who is innocent?
Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
The killer walks again
Freed by evil men
And their dark charade
This can't be happening
A mother's selfish pride
Her child's homicide
Can she be to blame?
The suited vulture's circling
A father's cruelty
A murdered family
Is the world insane?
Their defenders ready to
Embrace their lies
With their devious smiles
Your corruption is like a cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You've been taught all your life
That truth is easy to hide
You'll face your judgment another day
And suffer eternally
Who is innocent?
No one is innocent
Who is innocent?
Presumed innocent
Justice fails again
In the masquerade
A battered woman trembling
Her lover drunk again
When will the torture end
In her web of shame?
Is death the only way?
A child victimized
The crime politicized
For the counselor's gain
The rabid media congregates
His tortured memories
A pervert's fantasies
Is the world insane?
The parasitic devastation seen
On your TV screen
Your corruption is like a cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You've been taught all your life
That truth is easy to hide
You'll face your judgment another day
And suffer eternally
False defender, burn forever
False defender, burn forever
Cold and spineless, have you no soul?
Wicked-minded, out of control
And guided by their hunger
They will find new ways to betray us
Your corruption is like a cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You've been taught all your life
That truth is easy to hide
You'll face your judgment another day
And suffer eternally
Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
Presumed innocent
Justice fails again
In the masquerade
Has the whole world become insane?
No one is innocent?
Who is innocent?
Who is innocent?
No one is innocent?
Who is innocent?
Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
The killer walks again
Freed by evil men
And their dark charade

A father's cruelty

ISHFWILF (I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For)
[ Originally by U2 ]
I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you only to be with you
I have run i have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls only to be with you
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
No I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like a fire this burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
No I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I believe in the Kingdom Come
That all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one but yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds and you loosed the chains
Carried the cross of my shame of my shame
You know I believe it
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
No I still haven't found what I'm looking for

Asylum is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Disturbed. It was released on August 31, 2010, in the United States through Reprise Records. The album is meant to take a fresh direction in the band's music career, while remaining consistent with the band's previous albums. Most of the lyrical content was inspired by aspects of frontman David Draiman's life prior to making the album. Asylum is also the third consecutive Disturbed album to not feature the Parental Advisory label (although the deluxe version on iTunes is marked explicit for live versions of their earlier material from The Sickness). A tour in support of the album, titled the Asylum Tour, started in late August 2010.
Asylum debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart with sales of approximately 179,000 according to Nielsen Soundscan. This is the fourth consecutive number one album in the U.S. for Disturbed. The other two bands ever to accomplish this feat in the Soundscan era are metal band Metallica and folk rock/jam band Dave Matthews Band. On March 31, 2011, Asylum was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
