1.
A new day is dawning Perhaps my last Adrift in this great expanse Lost and worn I call in vain Such promise before the end Adventurers' all We sailed for fortune and glory Now all is Gone are the days when I walked with destiny Lost in a world of regret And now I wait for the end with its sweet finality Glorious dawn meet me with open arms Splendid euphoria has taken over me It stills my soul I feel anticipation in my bones The sun is rising Shine
2.
Trapped in a darkness that feels like a tomb Aware but unable to speak my dispute I have no mouth but I must scream The one that has made me has no idea He blunders and tinkers while I hold despair But I will conquer this illusion and make it my own Scraping forward to consciousness My detention is over Steeling onward to permanence And a life unyielding I force my mind to remain quite still A parallel world grows in my heart One that I own and rule with love An intangible force that I don’t understand I am chained and held by his hands But he made all that I know Break these chains Set me free
3.
We all feel the changes that transpire in wicked ways The earth moves frequently Ignoring our great cry of distress And we stumble Blind to our own machination Never humble Rejecting what’s in place before us Follow closely the road Always there fighting for freedom Avenues closed to go People there dying for freedom Bury those that fall along the way We search and strive to ease the pain A hero is risen to avenge the lost against this deepening Once victorious, will he give us over to tyranny? He walked in the fire and not a burn can be seen He crushed the dark thing that hunts us Simple defeat This man is not just a man But a being of godlike strength He has taken the mantle of our lord Our ruler – our king
4.
Fear has planted its evil seed in our hearts It strives to convince us that we are frail Feeding angst for our worthless endeavor We must toil for a place to call our home Look at us now A fabled time That never was enough to keep the dogs at bay Better than a wasted life My soul on fire Recognize the plight and sow the seed Now see the scorn in his gaze He shuns us yet he needs us (he fears us) Now is the time – we must act Not sit idly by His darkness must be met with our light Vigilant in nature We command all that wish to live

Crimson Gold 04:03
With lips blushed crimson gold and fair My heart bleeds for you ever since the beginning The first time that I saw your face The first time that I spoke your name Bury me in fragile lines I’m alive Your eyes pierce through the dark of night My heart screams for you There is no other Cover me with waking dreams I’m awake
6.
Tear it down – brick by brick A little chaos just to make it stick We have to find a way to make the whole thing fall apart A call to brothers in arms Revolution in reverse It’s time to live or die It’s time to fight or fly No quarter – no remorse It’s time to live or die Build it strong – piece by piece Flagrant promise and anomaly So much riding on the end of all control A call to brothers in arms Revolution in reverse Did you really ever think it'd last forever? Mindless arrogance Proletariat delusion is the force and net of guile – of might Did you ever really think it'd last forever? Pointless vanity Its time to live or die
7.
Loss 03:31
In the halo of winter I learned the awful truth Your passing took us all unaware And left us hollow Forgive me what I was I didn't know what to do All these pilfered dreams won't hold up to you Without your guiding hand where will I hide? Tell me o wise man – how do I live with loss? You meant so much to everyone you touched Living in pain to laugh the grey away
8.
Masquerade 03:43
Force a smile Fake a laugh One too many people vying over what is left Feed the lie Alive in my hole Darkness that I feel is all too powerful I masquerade in my skin An imposter in my mind Fallen to earth Ground firmly beneath my feet Such an imposter I believe is in my mind Embodies my own madness I fear the face that I wear I show the world a side meant to delight Form a wall – a stern repulse And hide this spiteful man from prying eyes I masquerade in my skin An imposter in my mind
9.
First let us gather Rumors abound Stories told to weave a tapestry of hopelessness The oracle says the day will soon unfold When the sky will burn Breathing in disease Breathing in disease with every fetid gasp of air The sun is shining but the birds are nowhere to be seen She says the creature will consume us all And the matrons wail The creature wants to feed We are all forced to see another fail to blot out the sun A stark epiphany that life will never end Align the stars again and let us make our own destinies Fill our hearts with the hope of another day
10.
Lying awake I feel a rapture grow inside of me I am alive in all this pain Forcing my eyes to search for signs of salvation All things manifest Fill it up and let it drown with all my woe Will this journey take me back to life and back to shore? Blistered hope springs foward bidden by an unseen hand My eyes seem to grow quite dim I know redemption is calling me toward that healing home Conversation with myself
