Slowly, we watch the degradation of the civilization
The rise and fall of all we are stands before us This place is evil Is there an answer? This world is vile We are the answer Oh! How long until we die? Die from the inside out How much is enough for us to see the light? How much blood must be spilled? Contest the lies We cannot be so blind Hear their cries Don't wait till daylight dies, woah (daylight dies). When there is blood on our hands, How can we (how can we) ignore the truth? Contest the lies We cannot be so blind Hear their cries Don't wait till daylight dies. The cost of one life The price of one soul Is too much to bear. No more broken promises Our shattered hearts will heal No more broken promises No more (no more) Contest the lies We cannot be so blind Hear their cries. Don't wait till daylight dies. How long until it dies? How long? How long? How long until it dies How long? How long? |

We will not die this way, in unification
They cannot break these chains of faith Let them do their worst (let them do their worst) Never slaves to iniquity We will not die this way (this is absolution) Death claims us no more (no more) Do not grieve, end the suffering We will live, live eternal Will you take the stand among the dead? Bury your fear, and hold fast to life We will not die this way (this is absolution) Death claims us no more (no more) Do not grieve, end the suffering We will live, live eternal Anchor yourself to the foundation of everything you love Believe you have just begun to live Don't let the world deceive you Don't let their words betray you Don't let their lies deceive you Let them do their worst We will not die this way (this is absolution) Death claims us no more (no more) Do not grieve, end the suffering We will live, live eternal |

Imprisoned, inside this mind
Hiding behind the empty smiles So simple (the anguish) As it mocks me Crawling back into the dark Running, always running, into the distance Stop me before I bleed, again The echoes of my voice Follow me down The shadows I cast Follow me down Deeper I'm falling Into the arms of sorrow Blindly descending Into the arms of sorrow There must be serenity The echoes of my voice Follow me down The shadows I cast Follow me down Deeper I'm falling Into the arms of sorrow Blindly descending Into the arms of sorrow The demons of my own design This horror must not remain Deeper I'm falling Into the arms of sorrow Blindly descending Into the arms of sorrow There must be serenity There must be deliverance Deeper I'm falling Blindly descending Deeper I'm falling |

Go!
Forever falling, Into oblivion The darkness crawls forward It engulfs, my will to live Fear is failure And this is my motivation Take back what was stolen Reclaim all that's lost With virtue, I will rise up from the ruins C'mon! Through adversity, there is redemption With passion, fighting I am unbroken Through adversity, there is redemption With passion, fighting I am, unbroken!! Take back what was stolen Embrace the cycle Refuse to turn back now and be led astray Fear is failure And this is my affirmation Through adversity, there is redemption With passion, fighting I am unbroken Through adversity, there is redemption With passion, fighting Unbroken!! The absence of fear, is the renewal of self The absence of doubt, breeds desire If there is truth to face I will design it I will not be denied! |

I watched you walk away
Hopeless, with nothing to say I strain my eyes Hoping to see you again This is my curse (the longing) This is my curse (time) This is my curse (the yearning) This is my curse There is love burning to find you Will you wait for me? Will you be there? Your silence haunts me But still I hunger for you This is my curse (the wanting) This is my curse (time) This is my curse (the needing) This is my curse There is love burning to find you Will you wait for me? Still I want And still I ache But still I wait To see you again Dying inside these walls Dying inside these walls And I see your face In these tears, in these tears And I see your face There is love (there is love) There is love (there is love) There is love (there is love) There is love (there is love) |

The finest parts of me
Are only shades of you Don't put aside The time slips by Are only cult of you I give my word to stand the test of time No more wasted days The past must bury The line is drawn I pledge my devotion There is no turning back This heart is yours I sacrifice for you (for you) This is immortal The finest parts of me Are only shades of you Yeah! With each passing day, this heart is endless No more wasted time We are immortal The line is drawn I pledge my devotion There is no turning back This heart is yours I sacrifice for you (for you) This is the everlasting This is immortal Your words are my inspiration Your life, the image of perfection For all you are, for all you've done I strive to be in your reflection The line is drawn I pledge my devotion There is no turning back This heart is yours I sacrifice for you (for you) This is the everlasting This is immortal |

Who knows how long, I've been lost in the dark
Followed closely by the footsteps of my failures What can I do, to alter my perception, of the way and the truth? Let this burden drift away Who knows how long, the void has swallowed me I only wish for nothing more than peace to find me How can this be? We've come so far to let the weight destroy our grand design Let this burden drift away My pledge remains faithful to you And my heart still beats your name Drowning once again Will I live another day To reach the surface Let this burden drift away Drowning once again Will I live another day To reach the surface Let this burden drift away Drowning, Choking, Fading, LIFE!! Is this the moment where I leave the blackness Is this the moment of my rebirth?! Who knows how long, I've been lost in the dark Followed closely by the footsteps of my failures What can I do, to alter my perception, of the way and the truth? Drowning once again Will I live another day To reach the surface Let this burden drift away Drowning again Reach the surface Let it drift away |

As time goes by
Nothing has changed I wont stand and watch You wither away After all this time I stand by you Through all of the years I've been with you Through pain and affliction With every addiction I will never let you down I will live by this code Never surrender You and I are one Through the eye Of the storm You are never alone Even through, the shadows You are never alone After all this time Still you struggle Even words of love Ring so hollow I have no regrets I have no remorse And if you falter I wont let you down Through the eye Of the storm you are never alone Even through, the shadows You are never alone Come on Together we stand Never fall No matter the trial We will overcome Together we stand Never fall No matter the Trial We will overcome Through the eye Of the storm You are never alone Even through, the shadows You are never alone Never Together we stand Never fall No matter the trial We will overcome We will overcome |

As I live and breathe
I'm watching, watching the world die We greet this with apathy no longer Consumed by self We walk through each day With no mind to deprivation and moral decay We must destroy and rebuild We must destroy and rebuild For the sake of all, it starts with one With one As I live and breathe I'm watching, watching the world die We greet this with apathy no longer If we cant break the silence (how can we survive?) Search inside yourself (announce your life) We must break the silence Now we are alive Silent no longer Make this world, take notice The change is in our hands The battle has just begun We are not defeated If we cant break the silence (how can we survive?) Search inside yourself (announce your life) We must break the silence Now we are alive Silent no longer With all that I am I will lift my voice To start this revolution It starts today And it starts with me Time is no longer With all I am I will lift my voice With all I am It starts with me Break the silence [3X] We are alive Break the silence [3X] We are alive |

Time and time again I stand at the crossroad.
Where the weight of my burden eclipses my resolve. This broken path I've chosen. I walk it alone. Though I feel forgotten. You've carved my name in stone. In these desperate times. This I plead. When all else fails remember me. (Clock!) This is daily crucifixion and these rusty nails leave scars. My jagged crown is at my side. Anguish is never far. In these desperate times. This I plead. When all else fails remember me. This is a blood-oath. They are nothing to me anymore. But your voice means more to me than you'll ever know. There's no question, you're the answer. I will find you. In these desperate times. This I plead, x2 When all else fails remember me. x2 |

Their cries are blown away with the wind.
How passive can we be before humanity is lost? Turning our backs on those who need love. We must not rest while healing is needed. Tear down the veil. That bars your heart from feeling this. Dedicate yourself. Give your soul to compassion. With open arms, embrace this heart. With open eyes, behold the truth. Embrace this life. So little time is left. We must be relentless in our pursuit of those in torment. Tear down the veil That bars your heart from feeling this. Dedicate yourself. Become the voice of compassion. With open arms, embrace this heart. With open eyes, behold the truth. Embrace this life. Can you reject yourself? Can you feel their agony? In a world that feeds on disregard. Heal the broken hearted. |
