This Great Expanse
05:40
|
|||
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

Consciousness
04:14
|
|||
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

Children Of A Dying Sun
05:20
|
|||
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

Under A Burning Sky
04:27
|
|||
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

The Anarchist
03:04
|
|||
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

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

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

Word Of The Oracle
04:19
|
|||
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

All Things Manifest
05:35
|
|||
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
