1. The Calling
My own heart beat keeps me awake
blood fuels adrenaline, this feeling I can't fake
the traffic lights about to change
I feel the need to drop gears and pull me quickly from this place
I hope this is the one, the life that we've been wanting all along
I've had a taste but I want more
the reason that we were put on this earth for
and now it's our time, to see where we belong
and now it's our time, and we will get there if we remain strong
so many try to drag me down
I struggle to obtain what others get given to them
continuously judged for all my difference
all people are born with closed eyes
some people will never learn to open them
the pressure builds inside me
I'll follow my heart this time and see where life takes me
nobody wants to see me get my life in line
society lost its grip on me
now I'm free well see how high we climb
we've gone too far to turn back
now we will find what we've been looking for
on the other side of unlocked doors
my view is clear for the first time
now that weve learned to open our minds
these feelings fill my heart, the calling of our lifetime
reality pulls my mind back to my body
I awaken in this cold steel hell
pull my mind back to my body
as I awaken in this cold steel hell
now we will find what we've been looking for
on the other side of unlocked doors
seems I've reached the top rung of this ladder
with the burns to prove it I must escape before my dreams rust
2. Eve of Berlin
Lost in all illusional worlds
sitting back in your own time set
wishing you could go back
to the time in which you belong
but now it’s just too late
you’ve burned the bridge you had to cross
and now you realize your
ignorance was at a cost
now I’m getting older and I realize
where I went wrong just coping with what
I have was never meant to get me far
stuck back in forgot times you never
seem to see where you went wrong
futuristic thoughts can’t seem to penetrate
yesterday’s mind
try to put it together but it all breaks away
try to fit the pieces but none of them are
the same, I wish I could go back home
stuck in my own hell all alone
3. The Hate Inside
All the while your faint hearted approach to life
has been your self restriction, your affliction is addiction
they will turn your words into contradictions
and now you try to run, away from truth, away from the gun
no matter where you go, you’re only running from yourself
seems the only one left behind is you
now the tides have turned they pulled you from your life
you must devise a plan on your own this time
powered by the hate inside you’ve made some careless decisions
but there is no one left to blame
always claiming to be the victim, playing both sides for your own benefit
inebriate yourself to disguise your remorse, stow away the hate inside
now meanwhile your addictions thrive, waiting for what others hand to you
it holds you, it haunts you, it calls to you, now there is no way back
now don’t you look foolish, how can you live with the shame and regret
It haunts you, it calls to you, though the visions in your mind call you back
If you take the time to look inside, time can’t change a humans killing mind
It’s fueled by the hate that’s in your mind
4. The Human Concession
5. All the Good
6. Forewarned
Hear the warnings that have been told in this lifetime
if you blink then you might lose your place in line
hate, greed, and jealousy rule this world
it will lead us to our decline
fighting back but it’s all slipping away
you don’t care if you live or die, see the day why
people seem to turn their backs and I’m left to die
fighting back but it all seems to slip away
you don’t care if you live or die see the day
living life carelessly isn’t wise
what if when you die you discover there’s no heaven or hell
why not live this life to its fullest
there’s so many things that you can’t take with you
fighting back but it’s all slipping away
you don’t care if you live or die, see the day why
people seem to turn their backs and I’m left to die
fighting back but it all seems to slip away
you don’t care if you live or die see the day
many have sheltered themselves
hiding behind shields of religion
they’re storing away sins by means of confession
flushing their conscience into the sky
but what goes up will fall
7. So It Begins...
The time has come, you’ve been forsaken
for all the wrong you’ve done, and who will care
when you’re dead and gone, no one will shed a tear for you
a life of crime, now feel retribution, it’s too late for repentance
drown in self pity, it’s never your fault
your crimes you try to justify
shield yourself from your lies, selective vision
seen through your eyes, drown out the sound of your cries
fight oppression in this world, breeding ignorance
lie there on your back, waiting for fate to take hold
life’s a fragile balance, one we can’t ignore
living for yourself, the future is unseen
there’s a message to uncover, when you read between the lines
no compassion for our brothers, apathy for the dying
inward thought is accepted, a society in denial
revel in your own greed, so begins your demise
there’s a better way to become what you want
planning for tomorrow is the place to start
can you hear the screams or shattered dreams
take solace in your vanity, no remorse for all sins committed
selfish and unrepentant, humanity lost and gone forever
you found your fortune at what cost
drown in self pity, surrounded by lies
you are trapped in these walls
there’s a better way to become what you want
planning for tomorrow is the place to start
or are we wasting time
you’re only running from yourself, and you know there’s no one
left to blame for all your sins when you’re left to die
for the ones you could have saved
left to live for, left to die for
