1. A Bid Farewell
I will bid farewell, Sever the ties, Is this all I am, Is this all that’s left
Turn from deceit, the love of self is death, deliverance is given to you
I will bid farewell, Sever the ties
Now you're heart beats black with deception, you have been forsaken
Leave behind (I will) all reminders of you
I will bid farewell to all lies, I will bid farewell, sever the ties
Searching, always searching, Hoping for a change
I will never be satisfied, I will never be
I will never be satisfied
I will now bid farewell
I will bid farewell to all lies, I will bid farewell, sever the ties
2. Breathe Life
And it begins anew, the hatred of mankind
As it seeks to kill that which lives inside
Now we are dying, dying the slowest death
Held down by bonds that bind us, we breathe our final breath
And it begins anew, the burning we endure
As we seek the strength, strength to break the bonds
Now we are dying, dying the slowest death
No more condemnation, we fight for our last breath
Breathe life, for you are not alone
Breathe life, inside your heart of stone
From dust you were born and to the ashes you return
Break the bonds
Breathe life, for you are not alone
Breathe life, inside your heart of stone
3. Fixation on the Darkness
fixation on the darkness that engulfs this world
drain the life force of our people, change
return to the womb, new life
lay your head to rest, mercy
to give you a peace of mind, lay your head to rest
come together inside, this body is only a shell
change, the only way we will survive
light transfiguration of the soul, of the soul, of the mind
tell them they will not hold us down, it's time for a change
4. When Darkness Falls
As you walk the path of least resistance
Is it that simple as you claim it to be
Your tongue, your eyes, your lies, they do deceive you
I stand firm in my solidarity
The path I walk, I walk it with my own resolve
When Darkness Falls, we are reborn
Our dream since the fall of man, we are reborn
My beliefs are not antiquated, we are the whole
Silence them all with not just words, let resolution be our voice
I stand firm in my solidarity
The path I walk, I walk it with my own resolve
When Darkness Falls, we are reborn
A dream since the fall of man, we are reborn
We are the remnant
We the remnant will silence them all
We are the faithful
We the faithful will silence them all
When Darkness Falls, we are reborn
Our dream since the fall of man, we are reborn
5. Self-Revolution
can't comprehend society's movement
the regression of human existence
this is the quest of life
fulfill your destiny
slow down the fast paced world
and you will see past the illusion
breaking the foundation
collapse the control
building a revolution to heal nations
it starts within you
in this search for i & i the truth is always deep inside
(reversal of oneself finding the truth)
this is the quest of life
we must find the strength for a new movement
slow down this fast paced world and you will see the revolution
for a new movement
6. The End of Heartache
Seek me, call me
I'll be waiting
This distance, this disillusion
I cling to memories while falling
Sleep brings release and the hope of a new day
Waking the misery of being without you
Surrender, I give in
Another moment is another eternity
(Seek me) For comfort
(Call me) For solace
(I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
(Seek me) Completion
(Call me) I’ll be waiting
(I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
You know me, you know me all too well
My only desire to bridge our division
In sorrow, I speak your name
And my voice mirrors my torment
(Seek me) For comfort
(Call me) For solace
(I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
(Seek me) Completion
(Call me) I’ll be waiting
(I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
Am i breathing? My strength fails me
Your picture a bitter memory
For comfort, for solace
(Seek me) For comfort
(Call me) For solace
(I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
7. Take this Oath
Abandon the safety of mindless following
Abandon what hold us captive to suffering
Pierce the blinders, behold the path that leads before you
Let us forsake, forsake all the things that lead us to our demise
Open your eyes, See the divine, Open your eyes and see the…
Destruction of innocence, watch it breathe its last
Open your eyes (Behold the path before you)
See the divide (Forsake our demise)
Open your eyes (Behold, the path before you)
And see the
Abandon the safety of mindless following
To the grave we take this oath to leave this world behind
Hear the words of the voice that lives inside
Break free, this is your time
Break free, to the grave take this oath
8. Numbered Days
the time approaches, fall
chanting inspiration for the righteous
dislocation from the social order
kingdoms will rise to power
but kingdoms fall to dust
the ashes of the dead will be a sign the time approaches
arms raised, eyes gaze, tongues of fire whisper
this life will soon slip away
babylon you will fall
your days are numbered
who will hear your cries as you fall
9. The Element of One
torn disbelieving separation
i close my eyes to see you
this is for you, everything i am
this is for you, take it from me
torn disbelieving separation
i close my eyes
but there is no escaping this
in your arms in your soul
i will be rejuvenation
breathe me in
i am forever
deep within i am eternal
i will return to you
i am with you always
i will never turn away from you
10. Hope Is Not Lost
This is our moment, will you stand with me?
Hope is not lost, Hope is not lost
Let the strength of your words be the spark that ignites the flame
Proclaim your freedom, give voice to your liberation
This is my confession
Mark these words, we will rise
Weep no more, we will prevail
Grieve no more, we will prevail
Revoke the needless way of affliction, revoke and abandon
We are the authors, finishers of our faith, we are the solution
This is my confession
Mark these words, we will rise
Weep no more, we will prevail
Grieve no more, we will prevail
Hope is not lost
Weep no more, we will prevail
Grieve no more, we will prevail
This is our moment, will you stand with me?
Hope is not lost, hope is not lost
11. Life to Lifeless
humanity cover me with the ashes of remembrance
i will learn from this pain
there is no darkness without light to teach us of ourselves
life to lifeless to eternity, life to lifeless the cycle repeats
death unfolds itself painfully to unmask how fragile we are
death unfolds itself painfully, teacher of sanity
the pain drags me down
i'll rebuild me
12. My Last Serenade
this revelation is the death of ignorance
tangled in a state of suffocation
slave to self righteousness
damnation is on your lips
from sorrow to serenity, the truth is absolution,
from sorrow to serenity, its on your head
this is my last serenade
i feel you as you fall away
this is my last serenade
from yourself you can't run away
it's your choice, point the finger
but it's on your head
your destination is a choice within yourself
will you rise or become a slave
to self righteousness
open up your heart and gaze within
13. Rose of Sharyn
Numb and broken, here I stand alone
Wondering what were the last words i said to you
Hoping, praying, that I'll find a way to turn back time
Can i turn back time?
What would I give, to behold the smile, the face of love?
You’ve never left me, the rising sun will always speak your name
Numb and broken, here I stand alone
Wondering what were the last words I said to you
It won't be long, We'll meet again
What would i give, to behold the smile, the face of love
You’ve never left me, the rising sun will always speak your name.
It won't be long we'll meet again, your memory is never passing
It won't be long we'll meet again, my love for you is ever-lasting
I mourn for those, who never knew you
It won't be long we'll meet again, your memory is never passing
It won't be long we'll meet again, my love for your is ever-lasting
14. Vide Infra
i have opened my eyes to see to see the world the surrounds me daily
i refuse to be led by the majority
can't compromise i and i
to pass judgment
judgment will be passed upon you
i will stand up for who i am
never moved by condemnation
no one is placed higher than another
no matter race or creed or gender
we must teach forgiveness and compassion for all life
through understanding of our differences
we will find respect for one another
we are all flesh and blood
i am not afraid to speak my mind
no matter the consequences
stay true to yourself
through the humble eyes of a child we will realize true equality
they can not take me from me
15. Temple from the Within
make me feel serenity when all is revealed
so easy to look back in life and question
but i must seek to find the strength
to push forward
i want to see what's so beautiful inside
as we drink of life eternal
absolve me through your suffering
teach me to inscribe
these words on my heart
cover me with the shadow of your hand
i will not loose myself in everything that tears me down
because you stand by me
no one to blame for my transgressions
no one to blame but myself
