This is a concept album. It's seven songs long, and, as you'll probably be able to tell, it is about the five stages of death. I, personally, enjoy it very much, and I hope you do to.

Thus begins Stages

First song: Death of a Hero

Today we gather to honor the death
Of one of the world's greatest heroes

He was a husband
He was a father
He was a lover

But most importantly
Above everything else
He was the same as everyone else
He did what he was told
Never questioned authority

Could have been your brother
Could have been your neighbor
Could have been your Uncle

And no one noticed him
He lived a normal life

So how will we remember
How will we remember him
If he did nothing spectacular
Did nothing irregular

Here's how we'll remember
We'll remember because

He was a Husband
He was a Father
He was a Lover

And that's all he ever
Was

Second song: I Won't Believe (Denial)

A life is taken
Which was once forsaken
A death in vain
Fills us all with pain
So rise rise to your feet again

They say I'm in denial
But I can't find a reason why
I should fall in line and follow
I'll choose what I want to believe

There's a shadow watching over me
is it mine or is this just fantasy
moving to fast can't keep up with myself
And I trust the truth will come eventually

They say I'm in denial
But I can't find a reason why
I should fall in line and follow
I'll choose what I want to believe

He was her Father
He was my husband
He was my lover
I'll never accept that he's gone

They say I'm in denial
But I can't find a reason why
I should fall in line and follow
I'll choose what I want to believe

Third Song: Alone(Anger)

I feel like I'm all alone
No one here to care for me
Not a single sympathetic moan
Just go away and let me be

Why
How could you do this to me
How
Will I survive now that your gone
When
Will this be explained to me
You've left me all alone

Inside it feels like I'm broken
Nothing seems to be real
Now that your life has been taken
You've gone beyond the veil(I may change this line)

Why
How could you do this to me
How
Will I survive now that your gone
When
Will this be explained to me
You've left me all alone

It makes me think you never cared for me
Makes me feel down inside
That you never cared or loved me
It's time that some of us cried

How could you leave
How could you die
Like this and leave me all alone

Why
Must all of us
Cry
While accepting deep down
You never cared at all

Fourth Song: Dear God(Bargaining)

Dear God
I hope you get this prayer
We haven't talked in a while
It's been a rough couple of days
Just hear me out

I promise
I'll never sin again
Just bring him back
I need him
And I promise I'll be a better wife
Just give me my Husband back

Dear god
I've never been very religious
But these past few days have been hell
This won't take long
Just hear me out

I promise
I'll never sin again
Just bring him back
I need him
And I promise I'll be a better son
Just give my Father Back

It feels like I can't go on anymore
Just grant my one request
And I promise that I'll do my best
To keep my end of the deal

Just give him back

Fifth Song: I Quit (Depression)

You've taken everything away
That's it
What did I do to deserve this
I quit

I don't care anymore
Let me feel death's embrace
It seems I can't go on anymore
Let me breath my final breath

Now it's over
He's really gone now
And there's nothing I can do
I've failed
Everything is my fault
Just let me go away

When I find myself alone
That's it
Pull the trigger, Close the door
I quit

I don't care anymore
Just let me feel death's embrace
I'll leave this world behind
And join my- (sound of gunshot)

Sixth Song: Death of a Hero Reprise (Acceptance)

Today we gather to honor the death
Of one of the world's greatest heroes

She was a wife
She was a mother
She was a lover

But most importnatly
Above everything else
She was different from everyone else
She didn't do what she was told
Always questioned authority

Couldn't have been your sister
Couldn't have been your neighbor
Couldn't have been your aunt

And everyone noticed her
She lived a full life

So why did she do this
Why did she take her life
If she did everything spectacular
Did everything irregular

This is why she did it
She did it because

She was a Wife
She was a Mother
She was a Lover

And that's all she ever
Was

Seventh Song: Fate(Acceptance)

Everything's come full circle
Reunited by their end
The pains and tears wash away
Now lost, my only friend

Fate has forsaken me
Only now can I see
Tears are running free
Can't they just leave me be

I've seen this through
To the last page
My head's full of stress
And my heart's full of rage

Now on bended knee
With ring in hand
Don't they see
My head in the sand

Don't ignore it anymore
Accept what you feel
Life goes on
In the desert of the real!

Fate has forsaken me
Only now can I see
Tears are running free
Can't they just leave me be
