Image Of The Invisible
We're more than carbon and chemicals
We are the image of the invisible
Free will is ours and we can't let go
We are the image of the invisible
We can't allow this, the quiet cull
We are the image of the invisible
So we sing out this, our canticle
We are the image of the invisible
We all were lost and we are found
No one can stop us or slow us down
We are the named and we are known
We know that we'll never walk alone
We're more than static and dial tone
We are the image of the invisible
We're emblematic of the unknown
We are the image of the invisible
So raise the banner, bend back your bows
We are the image of the invisible
Remove the cancer, take back your souls
We are the image of the invisible
We all were lost and we are found
No one can stop us or slow us down
We are the named and we are known
We know that we'll never walk alone
Though all the world may hate us, we are named
The shadow overtake us, we are known
We're more than carbon and chemicals
Free will is ours and we can't let go
We are the image of the invisible
We're more than carbon and chemicals
We are the image of the invisible
Free will is ours and we can't let go
We are the image of the invisible
We can't allow this, the quiet cull
We are the image of the invisible
So we sing out this, our canticle
We are the image of the invisible
We all were lost and we are found
No one can stop us or slow us down
We are the named and we are known
We know that we'll never walk alone
Raise up the banner, bend back your bows
Remove the cancer, take back your souls
Between The End And Where We Lie
Is this everything, i've dreamed of so much more
between the end and where we lie
here all hopes and dreams are scavenged from the floor
and fed into machines that feed on vacant eyes
all of my dreams, always find me
far beyond these fake fluorescent skies
i know there must be something more, if i could only find the door
then i could free myself and see the world outside
where daylight breaks on you and shines into the
grey that sleeps beneath your skull
daylight breaks on you and burns away the
grey that suffocates your soul
for now i hold a key, and though i may be lost
i know that i will find my way
i search endlessly but every time i've thought
that i was near the smoke and mirrors lead me astray
see the pit boss, steal each tick tock
time it seems will suffer at our hands
i look for exits in the haze, the dense electric twilight maze
i've heard that there is one that leads to sunlit lands
daylight, they tell me that it's just a myth
they try to betray me with a kiss
daylight, they tell me that it can't exist
they might never know just what they missed as
daylight pours fire into my grey eyes
pour grace into my grey life
breaks in and lights the way
I can't live without the day
The Earth Will Shake
We dream of ways to break these,
Iron bars.
We dream of black nights without,
Moon or stars.
We dream of tunnels and of,
Sleeping guards.
We dream of blackouts in the
Prison yard.
Heartbroken we found
A gleam of hope.
Harken to the sound,
A whistle blows.
Heaven sent reply,
However small,
Evidence of life,
Beyond these walls.
Born and bred,
In this machine.
Wardens dread,
To see us dream.
We hold tight,
To legends of,
Real life;
The way it was before
We dream of jailers throwing,
Down their arms.
We dream of open gates and,
No alarms.
We dream of ways to break these,
Iron bars.
We dream of black nights without,
Moon or stars.
We dream of ways to break these,
Iron bars.
We dream of black nights without,
Moon or stars.
We dream of ways to break these,
Iron bars.
We dream of black nights without,
Moon or stars.
Heartbroken we found
A gleam of hope
Harken to the sound,
A whistle blows.
Heaven sent reply,
However small,
Evidence of life,
Beyond these walls.
Born and bred
In this machine.
Wardens dread,
To see us dream.
We hold tight,
To legends of,
Real life;
The way it was before.
Look to the day,
The earth will shake,
These weathered walls,
Will fall away.
Look to the day,
The earth will shake,
These weathered walls,
Will fall away.
Look to the day,
The earth will shake,
These weathered walls,
Will fall away.
Look to the day,
The earth will shake,
These weathered walls,
Will fall away....
Atlantic
it's been so long, and tin cans and string for years
is all that we've known, could it be you're really here
'cause my eyes are open, and everything still moves in slow-motion,
breathless and blue, and behind your eyes the sea
oceans of light envelop me
but things can't be as they seem, I'm so far from home
this must be another dream, but my eyes are open
and everything still moves in slow-motion,
breathless and blue, and behind your eyes the sea
oceans of light envelop me
my eyes are open, and everything still moves in slow-motion,
breathless and blue, and behind your eyes the sea
oceans of light envelop me
For Miles
I know one day, all our scars will disappear, like the stars at dawn
and all of our pain, will fade away when morning comes
and on that day when we look backwards we will see, that everything is changed
and all of our trials, will be as milestones on the way
and as long as we live, every scar is a bridge to someone's broken heart
and there's no greater love, than the one shed his blood for his friends
on that day all of the scales will swing to set all the wrongs to right
all of our tears, and all of our fears will take to flight
but until then all of our scars will still remain, but we've learned that if we'll
open the wounds and share them then soon they start to heal
(as long as we live, every scar is a bridge to someone's broken heart
there's no greater love, than the one shed his blood for his friends)
we must see that every scar is a bridge, and as long as we live
we must open up these wounds
when some one stands in your shoes and will shed his own blood
there's no greater love. we must open up our wounds
Hold Fast Hope
How can you be sleeping, waves like weapons crash
over us, cry for mercy and hold fast hope
who of us is cursed, or do we have to ask
search your souls and hold fast
if no one speaks a word, then let the lots be cast
truth be told and hold fast
white death wakes in black skies, mark your maker's wrath
fear and flames of azure climb the crooked mast
you will yet be baptized, steeped in shattered glass
sink and sing your answer and hold fast
as strong arms grip your shoulders like dead hands of the past
pray as you're tossed over, this breath could be your last
quiet and cold, silent and slow
night black as coal, miles here below
find your faith and dive deep, through living gateways pass
lined with death and ivory, and hold fast, hold fast
deep beneath the black dawn, leagues from lightning?s flash
ribs will raise cathedrals for the morning mass
steel yourself in sackcloth, roll your heart in ash
scrape your skin with steel wool, Cross your heart and hold fast hope
cross your heart and hold fast hope and hold fast hope.
Music Box
We move for all mankind, a million miles from everything we've ever known
We're on their hearts and minds, a million heads are bowed to bring us safely home
Hemmed in by emptiness, a million ways that everything could be undone
This hollow in my chest is filled with reasons not to sing but i found one, i know
We are not alone, we feel an unseen love
We are sons and heirs of grace
We are children of a light that never dims
A love that never dies, keep your chin up child
And wipe the tears from your eyes
In sleep we saw ourselves, a million years we had been waiting there it seems
While someone weaves a spell, a million stars look on in witness to our dreams
We are not alone, we feel an unseen love
We are sons and heirs of grace
We are children of a light that never dims
A love that never dies, keep you chin up child
And wipe the tears from you eyes
We feel an unseen love
We are children of light
Stand ready and tall, reflect the light
We are not alone, we feel an unseen love
We are sons and heirs of grace
We are children of a light that never dims
A love that never dies, keep you chin up child
And wipe the tears from you eyes
Like Moths To Flame
Once again these bitter herbs,
The perfect complement to all your cryptic words.
I nod but don't know what to say,
But I know you,
And I believe you're who you say you are so I,
I will follow you,
Lay down my life.
I would die for you,
This very night.
Once again the bread and wine,
But it seems the meanings may be deeper still this time,
And you surprised me when you said I'd fall away;
Don't you know me?
I could never be ashamed of you.
I,
I will follow you,
Lay down my life.
I would die for you,
This very night.
I've never been this cold,
The fire's gravity compels,
Like planets cling to Sol,
I feel my orbit start to fail,
Like moths to flame I come,
Too close and all my oaths are burned
As stars begin to run,
All my accusers take their turn,
And calling curses down.
From my lips lies like poison spill,
And then that awful sound,
The sound of prophesy fulfilled,
And then I met your eyes,
And I remember everything,
And something in me dies,
The night that I betrayed my king...
Of Dust And Nations
The towers that shoulder your pride,
The words you've written in stone,
Sand will cover them
Sand will cover you.
The streets that suffer your name,
Your very flesh and your bones,
Sand will cover them,
Sand will cover you.
So put your faith,
In more than steel,
Don't store your treasures up,
With moth and rust,
Where thieves break in and steal.
Pull the fangs,
From out your heel.
We live in but a shadow of the real.
Step out from time,
See the dust of nations.
Step out from time,
Hear the stars' ovation.
Saturn will not sleep until,
The sand has made us clean
Still we stack our stones and bury what we can,
But it all will be undone,
And nothing built under the Sun,
Will ever stand before the endless march of sand.
So put your faith,
In more than steel,
Don't store your treasures up,
With moth and rust,
Where thieves break in and steal.
Pull the fangs,
From out your heel.
We live in but a shadow of the real.
So put your faith,
In more than steel,
Don't store your treasures up,
With moth and rust,
Where thieves break in and steal.
Pull the fangs,
From out your heel.
We live in but a shadow of the real...
Stand And Feel Your Worth
Wake,
Stand and feel your worth,
'O my soul.
Kneel and know the word,
That can save us all.
We are fuel and fire both,
We are,
Water,
Wed with wine and ghost.
We are,
Wrought with breath and dirt,
Washed in second sight.
Woven through the earth,
Wreathed in rings of,
Light.
Stand and feel your worth,
'O my soul.
Kneel and know the word,
Come to die.
We will,
Wield a second birth,
Whet our wits and knives,
Wrap our knees in earth,
Wrap ourselves in light.
Wake,
We will weigh and drink this cup,
We will,
Burn but,
We will not burn up.
Wake,
Feel,
Your,
Worth,
'O my soul.
Speak,
The,
Word,
The word,
That can save,
Us,
All.
Awed,
By,
Grace,
I fall,
On,
My,
Face,
And scream the word,
That can save,
Us,
All....
Red Sky
I know what lies beneath, I've seen the flash of teeth
Conspiring with the reef to sink our ship
The wind's a cheating wife, her tongue a thirsty knife
And she could take your life with one good kiss
Can you see the sky turn red
As morning's light breaks over me
Know tonight we'll make our bed
At the bottom of the sea
I know the ocean speaks, I've heard her call to me
And smiling in my dreams she whispers this
(The stars retreat behind their veil
The clouds are clinging to your sail
The storm is coming can you see?)
Can you see the sky turn red
As morning's light breaks over me
Know tonight we'll make our bed
At the bottom of the sea
Look and see the sky turn red
Like blood it covers over me
And soon the sea shall give up her dead
We'll raise an empire from the bottom of the sea
