Album: Sounding the Seventh Trumpet (2001)

License This Song 

• A living nightmare, asleep but still aware
  The endless torture
  The painless pleasure
  I grasp myself
  Trying to regain control
  I experience and learn
  In another faction of my mind
  
  So confused
  But everything makes perfect sense
  Can't feel the pain
  Emotional pain's so much deadlier
  Lost, you've just been raped
  Pain. Your friends can't help you
  Why won't they help you? Another reality
  
  This can't be happening
  Why is this happening?
  Who the fuck are you?
  Who the fuck. Are you?
  Trying hard to figure out what's done
  I scramble but now I run
  The images in my head
  
  All the problems that I've been fed
  Punching slowly my mind can't change the speed
  As my victims bleed
  No matter what I do or how hard I try
  I can't use my abilities
  Use my abilities
  
  Art of Illusion
  My razor sharp knife's edge, pierces my victim's body
  But I can't take their soul
  Punching through jello, stabbing not killing
  Disappointment, discomfort Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

• Alx Rosekoski from In A Better PlaceI feel like the comments are more abt turn the other way and and other songs in the album but turn the other way is definitely my favorite of this album. His screaming is so unique and i love it!
• Jerry from Charleston, WvIt is Valary, M. Shadow’s then girlfriend, now wife, who sings in the song. She also appears in Scream and A Little Piece of Heaven. I think the other songs with female vocals are done by other musicians. I do know for certain that at least Easier and Dear God are other musicians. As for Desecrate Through Reverence, that is The Rev’s high pitched vocals.
• Parker from Carbon Hill, AlI agree, Turn the other is awesome!!
  an epic of time wasted is awesome too
• Janae from Riverside, CaVal in person is a real bitch, but her scream is pretty good! Best song on the STST album is Turn The Other Way!!
• James from Houston, Txyeah it's on the All-Excess DVD, it shows Shadows' girlfriend Valary screaming, which was so awesome and unexpected.
• William from Bergen, NorwayIt's not Shadows, it's his girlfriend. It saus so even in the album map. And on Desecrate Through Reverence it's The Rev who sing those high screams.
• Jake from Miamisburg, OhIt is Shadows, he does it in Desecrate Through Reverance as well...16 days till wut
• Cameron from Kilmarnock, ScotlandIt's Valary DiBenedetto, Matt's girlfriend... Dunno if that's spelt right but that's who it is lol
• Casey from Whitestown, Incan anyone tell me who is the high-pitched screaming part (Punching slowly, my mind can't change the speed...No matter what i do or how hard i try) thx! ~16 more days~
