2. At World’s End
This is not a prophecy
This is our reality
Spirits haunt our sleepless nights
We’ve been waiting for the fall
We’ll long to see what this all meant
Our failing frame and discontent
Our failures written - as our history unfolds
We’ll long to breathe a better life
Turn a
way from shame and lies
In the end we’ll watch the way our history unfolds
At the end of time we will get what we deserve
At the end of time we reap only what we sow
In the end We will all fall
Our paths have led us stray, in the shadow of a different life
Where we once were strong, we broke the bonds,
Our faults will lead us to the end of time
This is not a prophecy
The promise of a waking dream
There will be nothing left to salvage here
Nothing left at all
At the end of days we will get what we have earnt
It will take the end of time to make us listen, make us learn
3. Unsung
New dawn brings hope
salvation lies just feet below the sand
and for all this, you’d break the world in two, with idol hands
I have walked this coast
I have paced this light
I have felt the waves
ruins of the night
There is nothing left in you
a grasping hand, a weary muse
if we ever overcome
your victories will go unsung
I know that your composure fails
when the mirror says your name
for the things that you have done
I hope forgiveness keeps you safe
You will be the first among the wreck
lifetime of promises unkept
You’ve burnt your bridges in the cold
and cut your strings with firm resolve
if we ever walk away
your victories will be erased
4. Mirror Image
Through retrospection,
Seeking to find me,
Through determination,
Sure to be set free.
Your sullen eyes embedded in my mind,
Spoken words, only to be lies,
Animosity, dishonesty, distrust – disgust for you
Spawned by you,
You can never comprehend
You will never understand,
The rage I have inside,
enough to fuel a war
I see you, it’s me, I have a need,
I see you, a need to be me (free)
Lost within the pain,
From your loss, I can only gain,
For you, I have nothing but contempt
Forever striving to get away,
My mind, forever in confusion,
Looking through you, I see me,
The rage I have inside,
enough to fuel a war
5. Dead Hearts
Everyday I’ve got to swallow
the pain of seeing myself
Helpless against those
whose veins are filled with oil and
whose hearts are made from stone because
Living reckless amongst other
seems to be their only purpose
Egoism fills our gallows
Thoughtlessness is digging our graves
I will never become a shadow of my Own
Forced to follow without Face
I will never become a shadow of my Own
Living reckless amongst other
seems to be their only purpose
Egoism fills our gallows
Carelessness is digging our graves
"Decisions you make will always curse
the Innocent", thats what we’ve been told.
But my Lack of Acceptance tells me to
Think for myself
So sing:
DECISIONS WE MAKE WILL NEVER CURSE THE INNOCENT
DECISIONS WE MAKE WILL NEVER HARM ANYONE ELSE
Decisions i make will never curse the innocent
Because I’m not destined to act as a human hangman
I Will never Become a shadow of my Own
Forced to follow without face
We will never become a shadow of our Own
Decisions we make
6. Traitor’s Halo
Perception fails,
My mind (MOIN MOIN) struggles with the crimes of others
Awareness fails
Your knives won’t pierce my skin here anymore
i won´t let you conquer my own mind
you won’t bring me down with doubting eyes
come what may now, come what should
noone to trust but friends and blood
Don’t put your trust in the weak or the unkind
A traitor´s halo is never meant to shine
Facades force me to see through masquerades
How can I trust, when my own mirror still deceives
stop using me like a puppet
7. Your Heroes
Two worlds collide - you step away
Chance for reconciliation
A fallen, sunken fleet
Two worlds collide
No flame - no fire
No safety or retreat
No flame - no fire
Your heroes’ fallen to defeat
But in the face of failure
In the face of emptiness
Take courage in your arms
Feel depth upon your breath
There will be no death of heroes
No death of glory here tonight
I will pull you from your sinking ship
And I will bring you back to life
There will be no death of courage
No death of bravery tonight
I will take you by the hand
And bring you back into the light
Two worlds collide - you walk away
Anything you try to build
Will crumble at your feet
Two worlds collide
For what you all believed
For everything you need
You are the face of what is left
For everything you’ve seen
And everything you need
You are our final fleeting breath
8. Systematic Reclusion
Fuck of know only retreat
Filtering through life. Walking only in shadows.
Screaming out in silence. Living in code.
Time passes. Endless longing. Denying life.
Breeding insecurity in others. For a sound of life.
Through time. With nothing. Blindly walking. Needing.
A Tunnel vision in the world.
Alone, I go and retreat
Somewhere the truth appears. Hitting you with devastating reality.
Crushing you, to nothing.
Tolerating the pain. Resurrecting
Fuck of know only retreat
9. To The Wolves
The land that you were promised
Has crumbled by the stress and by the strain
The prophets that you follow
Turn into dust and blow away
All that’s gold does not all shine
All that’s weak won’t last the night
Your last messiah walks away
We stood and woke and so did they
False idols in a different vein
A different love, a different name
Nothing ever stays the same
We stood and fought, and so did they
This lie is perfect
Framed and fractured
This lie is worth the
Sin you’ve captured
Kept your belief in this deceit
False idols underneath your feet
If you are anything at all
You’ll learn to throw them to the wolves
Kept foreign sins in ivory towers
Steady arms and steady arrows
Kept broken clocks in crystal caskets
Begged for faith but couldn’t stand it
10. We'll Only Live as Long, as We Choose to Carry On
I felt these hands of mine
I felt the sands of time
Like ghosts inside the hourglass
Like shadows of the sun
Raise your flags
By the lights of dawn
Save yourself
Save us all
Be the change you wish to see
Or find a brand new way to breathe
Set your heart to learn
Keep your bridge unburned
Push your hands into the dirt
And feel the promise of the earth
If you believe in your transgressions
You carve your deadly crimes in stone
Where power is a weapon
We watch our statues decompose
(We watch humanity unfold)
We’ll only live as long
As we choose to carry on
11. Anchor's Lost
Face the fate you made
once we walked as titans
once we walked as giants
All we have is debris
All we have are bones
Where once we crushed the earth
And made dust out of the land
We stand to face the things
We could never understand
We’ve lost the anchor - That kept us floating out at sea
We’ve lost our compass - Smashed underneath our feet
Now we’ve lost the trail
Among floods of dishonesty
Consequence will call and ask:
‘Do you remember me?’
We stand as one before the waking of the guard
We stand as one before the recklessness we are
We could breathe holiness right back into this land
If we never start to change, then we’ll never understand!
Step out of the chains!
Out of the prison that you made!
It could never be too late!
To save the things that we’ve betrayed!
In the end we’ll watch the way our history unfolds
At the end of time we will get what we deserve
At the end of time we reap only what we sow
In the end We will all fall
Our paths have led us stray, in the shadow of a different life
Where we once were strong, we broke the bonds,
Our faults will lead us to the end of time
This is not a prophecy
The promise of a waking dream
There will be nothing left to salvage here
Nothing left at all
At the end of days we will get what we have earnt
It will take the end of time to make us listen, make us learn
