Disillusion 04:27
Leave for now Take me away from here Take me away from here Bleed this out Take us away from here Take us away from here Hearts locked inside until The shade returns to light Dissonance coincides Love lost inside the fray How can we see when our eyes have been shut for days? How can we feel when our hearts have been closed for days? As our darkest hour approaches now We’re left to fight this rage Disconnected from those cruel, cruel words The scars, they still remain Our flame will blow out Our time will run out Light the way from my sanity Burn a hole in your heart for me Not in disillusionment We will find away We will find Our flame will blow out Our time will run out Our hearts will burn out Now I know

Nails 07:42
Remember Remember the darkness that holds us all desperately She lingers She waits and reforms She waits watching us There's blood in your hands Blood in your eyes With nails in our hands With nails in our eyes My guiding star Take me back where we began Where do we go when there’s nothing left in here? Show us another way to let the darkness inside go So the end won’t seem as near, outside of fear Help me see the truth in our hearts and in our minds Give us strength to make the change that we desire I’d be a fool to see faith in you Or have faith us Cos we live to destroy Cos we live to devour it all My guiding star bring us back to the beginning Our guiding star bring us back to the beginning Let us rebuild let us fix our home again

Skirmish 04:46
Follow me now We're standing amongst the clouds The cool breeze takes us It leads us to your shores Follow me now We're gliding on this plane Our minds entangle And darling don't be shy Follow your head And your feet will follow Only you can believe that nothing stands in your way How long will this go on? Take me Follow me now Shut it off Break it down Turn it off Just shake it off Shut it off Break it down Turn it off We're waiting for you To stand up and make a change We’re watching over you They're taking over you again They're guiding you down the wrong direction

Sister 05:59
Bless the mother Bless the child born into light Bless the father A kingdom for the courageous She lay under A mother’s wing for so long A shadow Shaded from the bright light Are you ok? Your eyes tell a different story Are you ok now? Tell me, are you ok? Now I can see right through to your eyes A void of disconnection It overwhelms you Now I want to try and make this right for you To help you find some form of resolution A mother taken so young A daughter left to find where she belongs The truth is often hard to bear When others lose the sense to care Every heart deserves a glance Every soul deserves to dance To bleed a life away Heavy heart You’ll always be loved When all is forgotten, precious rose Relinquish the pain To light up your way Her heart will always beat again Light up your way

The night comes as the daylight fades away We beat our drums to the sound of endless change Resolution comes at a price we never pay We see your homes and we watch them fade away They come We take We take your homes away We beat our drums Till the sound just slips away Forever the victims in this life Forever we beat our drums Together we’ll tear this down Till its right for you Tear them down Watch the walls come crashing down We are We are the leaders We are the receivers We are the ones for you Don’t them slip away into sound of endless change To the sound that we make when we beat our drum Hey Wake up To the sound they’re making Been right but this is wrong A heart bleeds for so long Let them go, let it go Let them go, let us go

Disavow these front row seats Needless to say you better have not followed me Just go to bed now and count those sheep If you touch me now you better kill me With your lies Greed Guilt Through teeth Do you believe me? Self-centred Indulgent Ego Shit Do you believe me? Just stand tall and face me Your small words don’t faze me I will you be waiting here till you fall on those words Every step you take Every move you make We will follow Now that the truth is out do you see that I played you for a fool? Just be a man and face me Get off your horse and we will see Heavy heart and heavy mind Don’t follow me into this rhyme Do you believe? Do you believe in me?

Thalidomide 04:57
As I leave this world As I pass this torch to you Please forgive me Please embrace what’s left behind If I had the time to tell you you’ll be alright I would If I had the time to believe we’ll be alright I would Please forgive me Please forgive me one more time I’m left here to wonder What it all would have been like If I had the time to tell you you’ll be alright I would If I had the time to reflect on this you know I would How I wonder how this life would have played out If it wasn’t for the stake in my side Or choices filled with regret If I had the time to tell you you’ll be alright I would If I had the time to believe you’ll be alright I would And if I had the time to reflect on this you know I would And if I had the time to forgive my bad decisions I would Like a bird with a broken wing I lay here Left behind Buried but still alive So much anger So much frustration How can this be fair? Still so much more life to live I breathe this out This note to you A last goodbye Breathe and ascend Like a feather in the wind Up she goes in the light of day Up she goes forever

We hang on every word that you preach to us No more questioning, your views your reasons We’re subservient pawns in your master plan We look to you to guide us home We wanted to live to shine To give light to a world that’s dying But you took us down a path so cold Just a blind pursuit for fool’s gold Darkness settles over This Peoples Temple crumbles Evil settles over This fertile marshy land You took away our freedom You took away our children The only reason we followed Your views, your every word Some see God inside your body Some see Christ inside of you A hope of glory I see the fraud Some see God inside your body Some see Christ inside of you A hope of glory Take them away All the words you say

A city aglow like fireflies We lay here under burning lights with blood-stained eyes Underneath a cold dark winter sky We wait for you and your shining lights Not afraid of anything, or what’s to come You’re a mystery that’s rarely seen A vision of peace, an endless daydream You're a mystery, seen to believe A vision of love, sweet butterfly A delicate flame, that’s losing light All facets of this little world receding Please don’t give us anymore of this Please Leave us alone Together we'll watch the daylight fall Behind the shining lights The world awakes to the sound of peace Consumed by the blinding light Together we'll watch the daylight break across The morning horizon Forever embracing who we are To see the shining lights Our world aglow with fiery skies We lay here under burning skies with blood-stained eyes Arms wrapped around the ones we love We wait for you and your shining light Afraid of all the choices that we've made We're forever the ones to pass the blame A vision of peace, an endless daydream She’s a mystery seen to believe
