    Yes, I have a complete story. No, it's not all in song form yet. More will come though. Also, these are not in order, other than each part being in its correct place. Finally, the ending will change.

    Part 1

    "This Is Not A Test"

    I'll lead them like lambs to the slaughter,
    This war has begun, but can it be won?
    They'll die for their cause,
    Not knowing what they really want,
    This is not a test,
    (This is no game)
    This is not a test.


    With a gun in your hand,
    Your only choice is to stand and fight.

    This is such a big mistake,
    This is such a big mistake,
    This is such a big mistake,
    This is such a big mistake.
    (I've seen this a thousand times,
    History repeats itself,
    History repeats itself,
    And it'll happen again,
    History repeats itself,
    History repeats itself.)
    (I'm no prophet, I've just seen it all before,
    I'm no prophet, I've just seen it all before.)


    Part 2

    "The Day I Saw Her Eyes"

    I saw your eyes,
    Across this smouldering sky and wondered why,
    Such a beautiful girl like you,
    Has to suffer through such horrid days.


    Part 3

    "As-Yet-Untitled"

    The snow sticks around the outskirts of this town,
    Yet the burning ashes stop this from happening outside our homes,
    This has your name painted all over it,
    The song in my head sings 'this was a big mistake.'


    If I could write the song in my head onto paper,
    I'd change the way, you thought of me,
    If everyone around felt the same way that I do,
    This war wouldn't end, because it had never have began.


    "Snow And Destruction"

    It's been snowing for days,
    But I don't think this could wash us away,
    And when it melts we'll notice that it's just like the rain,
    And today is no prettier than any other day,
    But right now you're more beautiful than the downfall of this city,
    When the streets emptied and fires filled our homes,
    I think I could live like this forever,
    Amongst this chaos, we've found hope.


    I could love you for as long as this war goes on,
    Though I've got battles to fight, I feel that I can do no wrong,
    With you by my side, I'll guide this rebellion to it's end,
    I will not let you get away.


    "Roses"

    I would have bought you roses,
    But their thorns would cut your hands,
    And I've been tracing over them,
    Since this war began.


    Talk to me girl,
    Tell me of all your fears,
    Tell me you're in love with me.


    And I know my father started this,
    And I know it will all end,
    For now you'll have to bear with me,
    You'll just have to hold my hand.


    'Cause soon we'll be through,
    I'm sorry for being so honest with you,
    But it's looking more likely that,
    My father will get his way,
    This Black Sunday.


    "Under The Oak Tree"

    If I could walk this city in the blackest night,
    Stare blankly at the torches making the streets bright,
    If my knees buckled under the increasing weight,
    Upon my shoulders so heavy I can't keep my back straight.


    I crawled out from below the tree,
    Where I've been sat for the past three weeks,
    I'm waiting for the rainfall to wash away my feelings,
    I know I had my chance,
    Stuttered and slurred my deliverance,
    But it's something, for me to work towards.


    And nobody knew how far I'd come,
    And nobody knew why I sat under you,
    I'm coming home soon,
    I'm back to you.


    Fashioned broken branches or burnt them into ashes,
    To keep myself warm and clothed,
    I used you as shelter from the city below,
    Stared out from the mountain and channeled all my passion,
    Waited for the smoke to clear from the burning buildings,
    And wished I could have saved her.


    And nobody knew how far I'd come,
    And nobody knew why I sat under you,
    I'm coming home soon,
    I'm coming back to you.


    Let me rise on you, like the tide,
    I've tasted your lips and know things will be alright.


    "The Lover, The Son"

    "I got some bad news baby,
    Though he will not fall down,
    I will find your lover,
    Oh I will flush him out,
    You say he fled this city,
    But I don't think that's like him,
    You see my son is a lot like me,
    He knows persists always wins.


    I'm gonna make this easy for you;
    If you tell me where he is,
    I'll gift with more gold than you will ever know,
    If you just betray him."


    "I'm telling you the truth,
    He escaped and that was that,
    I thought we knew true love,
    But he mustn't have agreed with it.


    Oh love, where have you gone?
    (Why did you leave me like this?)
    I thought we were in this together,
    No matter what the future may bring,
    Oh love, to kiss your lips again,
    Through everything, thick and thin,
    Forgiven in a heartbeat,
    Don't let me live in solitude,
    Oh love, where have you gone?
    (Why don't you just come back to me?)
    I thought we were in this together,
    No matter what the future may bring."


    "I got some bad news baby,
    Though he will not fall down,
    I will find my son,
    Oh I will flush him out."


    Part 4

    --

    Part 5

    "Intro"

    We not move,
    We will not fall down.


    "End"

    This is the end of the world as we know it,
    This is the end of the world as we know it.


    As the smoke rises from our burning houses, our homes,
    Take on a different persona,
    They proclaim the anger and violence we're too scared to show,
    But now our hearts have been lifted,
    Death to the heirarachy, feed off the anarchy,
    Homes Will continue to burn down,
    Ashes to ashes and fatal car crashes, burnt homes,
    Litter the newscasts we pay no attention...


    We have no time for this...
    We have no time for this...
    We have no time for this...


    This is the end of the world as we know it,
    This is the end of the world as we know it.


    I haven't forgotten,
    You tore down my town,
    Replaced my golden crown with thorns,
    And bled my mind dry.


    "Sleep, For Now"

    I've been praying for nightmares,
    'Cause they'll mean I've been asleep,
    And that I've had some kind of release,
    From all of this around me.


    "Letterbombs"

    Today I saw birds falling from the trees,
    And noticed this is so much bigger than you and me.

    I've been chasing malokov's across this street,
    And I've been mailing letter bombs this week,

    "Divided"

    Graffiti is lining the walls claiming,
    We will not move, we will not fall down,
    This phrase has become all we live for,
    We'd die for our cause and divided we fall.


    Part 6

    "When I See Your Face Again"

    Oh to kiss those lips again,
    To forget everything that happened,
    To enjoy life for what it is,
    Not for what it could be.


    And when I see your face again,
    You best not rub it back in mine,
    I've learnt my lesson, I'm coming home and I'm gonna make this right.


    "Break Bread"

    Can I break bread with you tonight, underneath these stars,
    I haven't seen them for years, but now they're all ours.

    Can I part lips with you tonight, underneath these stars,
    I haven't seen you for years, and I know it's my fault.


    "Fought To Save"

    If I rise on you, like the tide,
    What will happen to the moon that's reflecting off your eyes?
    Although we're disconnected, I've noticed we are one,
    And we know this tidal wave has just begun.


    Oh, what a terrible world we live in,
    Oh, what a total mess we've made,
    Oh, and if the end of this all doesn't change a thing,
    Just know, it's only you I fought to save.


    "Stare"

    We stare until our eyes turn grey again,
    This isn't how it should have been.


    Take this gun, from my shaking hands,
    They won't let me escape this landscape of torment,
    We are bound to this wretched place,
    In plain sight of better days.


    I'm calling you out,
    (We're not the same)
    There's no way,
    There's no way,
    That I would have any part in this,
    If I was just that bit more selfish,
    I'm calling you out,
    (We're not the same)
    There's no way,
    There's no way,
    Such a disputed display of you writhing in place,
    This will all end today.


    "The End"

    I am in love with,
    The innocence of the end of the world,

    And all along I said I'd die for this.


    Misc.

    "We Are"

    We are the people,
    The forgotten, the dead,
    The unnoticed.


    But when we walk through that door,
    And walk into the light,
    We will be together,
    So are you ready to leave?
    Are you ready to let go?


    "A Lullaby"

    You're a lover in a lullaby,
    Though I've never ask you why,
    Why you cry so hard,
    Each night whilst you're laying by my side,
    These pillows stained so white.


    Let's change the colour of these sheets, baby,
    The best thing about your love is,
    The fact that I just can't keep up with it.


    "Fly"

    We've got the world,
    To give away.


    And when these planes leave the ground once more,
    Just know that what goes up must come down,
    Somehow.


    Unless you fly so high,
    That we reach heaven.


    "Like A Game"

    Never forget, the guy who put those blemishes onto your neck,
    That stain so red, like the hairs upon your head,
    "Are we in love again?" she said,
    But I'd never thought about it.


    Tell me once more baby,
    What do we do this for?
    Tell me once more baby,
    Tell me just once more.


    We've got so many lies floating around our heads,
    That if we tied them all down, we could use them as a matress,
    "Are we in love again?" she said,
    "Are we in love again?"


    And the only thing I could reply,
    Was to state we're all actors and actresses in disguise,
    And if she wanted more of my time,
    We'd have to shed or characters,
    She said she didn't mind,
    She said she didn't mind.


    Tell me once more baby,
    What do we do this for?
    Tell me once more baby,
    Tell me just once more.

    (I'll play you like a fucking game)

    "Masquerade"

    I've got a brand new smile today,
    So when I hear your name,
    It's wiped right off my face,
    I caught a glimpse across this room,
    So when I noticed it was you,
    I recessed a thousand years.


    I've noticed the way we dance around,
    This town, this bar is so cliche,
    That we can't help but notice,
    How we're living out a masquerade,

    I'm not the man you wanted,
    And I've learnt to live with that,
    Unless you'd take me back,
    Unless you'd take me back.


    And I've seen the way you glance across the room;
    I know you still love me.
    And I've seen the way you glance across the room;
    I know you still love me.


    I'm not the man you wanted,
    And I've learnt to live with that,
    Unless you'd take me back,
    Unless you'd take me back.


    "Recreation, Not Procreation"

    The last words she said to me were "okay thank you"
    I checked; I didn't want to misquote incase she knew,
    That our time together meant nothing to me,
    It might sound crazy, but 9 months is a long time to lie.


    If my friends knew what I put her through,
    They'd lose respect for me,
    And if my friends knew all the things we used to do,
    They'd lose respect for her too.


    Pool tables are for playing pool,
    They're in no way comparable to the bed room.


    One day you'll stop making these mistakes,
    And learn that trusting me is the biggest one you've made,
    One day you'll stop making these mistakes,
    And learn that trusting me is the biggest one you've made.


    The last words I said to her were "it wasn't a revenge thing at all,
    And I don't want you to show off to me,
    So I guess that means I'm saying don't waste your time."
    Don't waste your time on me.


    If my friends knew what I put her through,
    They'd lose respect for me,
    And if my friends knew all the things we used to do,
    They'd lose respect for her too.
