Daylight Dies
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?
This Is Absolution
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)
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 grief, end the suffering
We will live, live eternal
The Arms Of Sorrow
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 echos of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down
Deeper i'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Blindly decending
Into the arms of sorrow
There must be serenity
The echos of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down
Deeper i'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Blindly decending
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 decending
Into the arms of sorrow
There must be serenity
There must be deliverance
Deeper i'm falling
Blindly decending
Deeper i'm falling
Unbroken
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!
My Curse
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 (to)
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 (to)
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 (2x)
And I see your face in these tears
In these tears
And I see your face..
There is love
(There is... Love)
(4x)
For You
The fires burn through me
Are only stench 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 fires burn through me
Are only stench of you
Yeah!
With each passing day, this harm 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, an image of perfection
For all you are, for all you've done
Stands to be in a 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
Still Beats Your Name
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
Eye Of The Storm
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
Break The Silence
As I live and breathe
I am watching, watching a world die
We greet this with apathy
No longer
Consumed by self
We walk through each day
With no mind for 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 am watching, watching a world die
We greet this with apathy
With empathy
No longer
If we cant break the silence
[How can we survive?]
Search inside yourself
[know that you're alive.]
We must break the silence
now we are alive.
Silent: No longer.
Make this world take notice
That 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
[Now that you're alive.]
We must break the silence
Now that we're 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
Silent: No longer
With all I am
I will lift my voice...
With all I am..
It starts with me.
Break the silence
[break the silence]
Break the Silence
We are alive.
Break the silence
[break the silence]
Break the Silence
We are alive.
Desperate Times
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
This is daily crucifixtion
And these rusted nails leave scars
My jagged crown is on 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 youll ever know
Theres no question
Youre the answer
I will find you...
In these desperate times
This I plead
When all else fails
Remember me
In these desperate times
This I plead
When all else fails
Remember me
Reject Yourself
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.
Be One
With conviction You must stand your ground
Don't be deceived
Strength is salvation
It is so easy to live the life of a follower
We must kill the idols
Don't fall prey to seduction
With single-mindedness We must pursue the Truth
Nevermore the victim
Let them say that we are not of their world
With the promise of life
We are strong
We will carry on
Kill the idols
No more disillusion
Let them say what they will -what they will-
Their answer to our higher calling
Is conceived by their hatred
Nevermore the victim
Let them say that we are not of their world
With the promise of life
We are strong
We will carry on
With the promise of life
We are strong
We will carry on
Be one, for your convictionâ¦
Be one for your devotionâ¦You will be hated
â¦for your dedicationâ¦You will be hated
â¦You will be hated
With the promise of life
We are strong
We will carry on
Let The Bridges Burn
We have come too far to let our fulfillment fall away.
I must refuse to renounce my integrity.
We stand in defiance to their ethics.
Let the grief they have inflicted serve as our call to arms.
Are you ready? Are you willing to be the catalyst?
We can no longer be indifferent, Restore this dying world.
From misery we have turned away.
Ignite the past.
Let the bridges burn.
My eyes watch the unholy be left in the distance.
The division of our souls from our blasphemous tongues.
This is our atonement.
From misery we have turned away.
Ignite the past.
Let the bridges burn.
From sorrow we have turned away to the past.
Let the bridges burn.
I have bled for the truth.
There is no surrender.
Move forward.
Commit yourself.
Destroy all lies.
From ashes to ashes.
From dust to dust.
From misery we have turned away.
Ignite the past.
Let the bridges burn.
Let the bridges burn.
This Fire
All I've ever wanted was destiny to be fulfilled
It is in my hands, I must not fail, I must not fail
Even through the darkest days
This fire burns always
This fire burns always
This is the broken ground
Misery begins to rise
Turn away from yesterday
Tomorrow's in my eyes (Oh!)
Nevermore to be held down
By the wings of history
Nevermore to be cast aside
This day is mine
Even through the darkest days
This fire burns always
This fire burns always
I will not be denied in this final hour
I will not be denied, this day is mine
This passion inside me is burning is burning
This passion inside me is burning is burning
Even through the darkest days
This fire burns always (always)
This fire burns (fire burns) always
Always (always)
Holy Diver
Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Gotta get away
Holy Diver
Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you
Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh we will pray it's all right
Gotta get away-get away
Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel
Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid
Jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen
Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Gotta get away
Get Away
Gotta get away
Get Away-hey-yeah
Holy Diver
Soul Survivor
Yeah he's clean
Now Holy Diver
Holy Diver
Holy Diver
Holy Diver
There's a cat in the middle coming after you Holy Diver
Now Holy Diver
