1. Save This Man
Music & Lyrics by Josh Carney
He's waiting for you to end this misery,
But you can't admit defeat just to cease his pain.
His tainted grip on life is a warning sign.
You can force his life upon him or let him die in peace.
Choose compassion over love.
Don't let your heart get in the way.
Your only slowing down your Lord God's will today.
Looking back on wasted time;
A quest to fight the pain inside.
You know exactly how to save this man today.
Thus far you've hid behind your blinding shame
Cause you think you've failed but there's no one here to blame.
It's hard to deal with the truths of reality,
But you need to understand his how to end his pain from life.
Choose compassion over love.
Don't let your heart get in the way.
Your only slowing down your Lord God's will today.
Looking back on wasted time;
A quest to fight the pain inside.
You know exactly how to save this man today.
He's praying for you end his agony,
But you won't believe that he wants to die this way.
There's nothing warmer than a heart that beats so true.
Hold back your fears you know exactly what to do to save this man today.
Choose compassion over love.
Don't let your heart get in the way.
Your only slowing down your Lord God's will today.
Looking back on wasted time;
A quest to fight the pain inside.
You know exactly how to save this man today.
2. A New Day Is Born
3. Requiem
Music & Lyrics by Josh Carney
Requiem for a stranger.
I can't believe her.
How could she die at such an age.
A suicide without a page to save her life.
Requiem for a stranger.
I can't believe her.
How could she die at such an age.
A suicide without a page to save her life.
For every sign that we've ignored,
We take our guilt and thrust it toward our daily lives.
For every conscious thought we've bloomed,
We take our guilt and thrust it toward our impending doom.
Requiem for a stranger.
I can't believe her.
How could she die at such an age.
A suicide without a page to save her life.
For every sign that we've ignored,
We take our purpose in this world and throw it out the door.
For every path we've strayed away,
We take our guilt and try to make a better day.
A better day.
A better day.
Requiem for a stranger.
I can't believe her.
How could she die at such an age.
A suicide without a page to save her life.
4. Demon Eyes
Music & Lyrics by Josh Carney
The talons of life have lifted me high.
So high I reach to touch the sky.
I can hear the sirens demonize.
Preaching love they work to free my eyes.
I'm living through eternal pain.
I'm feeling Christ with hell to pay.
I can't believe that you'd betray
To get back all you've thrown away.
You've left me cold, but still alive,
To wait alone and hope to die.
I'm living out my daily lies.
I can't believe your demon eyes.
Will you take me to the promised land
Where maybe you'll finally understand?
The hell that you have put me through
Is just a lie, but it feels so true.
I'm living through eternal pain.
I'm feeling Christ with hell to pay.
I'm living through eternal pain.
I'm feeling Christ with hell to pay.
I can't believe that you'd betray
To get back all you've thrown away.
You've left me cold, but still alive,
To wait alone and hope to die.
I'm living out my daily lies.
I can't believe your demon eyes.
5. Casualties Of War
Music by Tim Diephouse & Josh Carney
Lyrics by Tim Diephouse
Johnny follow your heart right into the grave.
The land itself screams aloud from the sacrifice you have made.
All alone, far from home, you died without a clue
As to what your killing for. Who's killing you?
I tried to explain to my son why I had to leave
To fight a war in foreign lands so all men shall be free.
The look in his eyes betrayed his thoughts--"My daddy's not coming back."
Now I cry and wait to die as the world around me goes black.
It's not the soldiers with the guns that kill men by the score.
It's the ones they leave behind--the casualties of war.
Every noise to me is the enemy; no telling how many I've slain.
Whatever the cost in blood is paid, a foot of hill we'll gain.
Sleep impossible as nightly raids signal the coming of mortar shells.
To them I'm just and infidel who deserves to burn in hell.
I put the gun against my head to end my pain and suffering.
I find the strength to kill my brothers, but I fail myself again.
Cursed am I to endure this living nightmare.
In my mind it seems I hear the screams; no longer do I care.
It's not the soldiers with the guns that kill men by the score.
It's the ones they leave behind--the casualties of war.
It's not the soldiers with the guns that kill men by the score.
It's the ones they leave behind. What are we dying for?
A tear streams down her face as my casket leaves the plane.
A flag is given to my son, who wanted me home to play.
Now at last the end is near. Was is all worth dying for?
It's not the dead who need the tears, but the living casualties of war.
6. Fallen Soul
Music by Josh Carney
Lyrics by Joe Kiesgen
I. Kissed By an Angel
Kissed by an angel, only to be torn down,
Feeling pain as I'm falling from my state of grace.
There is no one here to catch me, so I lie here all alone
With this knife twisted in my heart; messed up and confused inside.
I'm tired of being the burden you carry.
I don't want to be the thorn in your side.
Sometimes I feel like you'd be better off without me.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm living my life all wrong,
Cause right now I feel like I'm gone.
I feel I'm falling apart over you.
Please stop this pain that you've riddled with abuse.
Just leave me here alone to die cause I don't want to dissapoint.
Maybe I should just try to disappear.
I'm tired of being the burden you carry.
I don't want to be the thorn in your side.
Sometimes I feel like you'd be better off without me.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm living my life all wrong,
Cause right now I feel like I'm gone.
II. Dark Past
Please help me hide my fears deep inside.
As they awaken, in search of revenge,
Tears of torment sting my eyes.
Darkness soon consumes my being.
Cause I'm reaching high, but I can't break free.
Skeletons from my dark past are still haunting me.
Cause I'm soaring high, but I can't break free.
Demons from my dark past are still haunting me.
I am torn beyond repair.
Scars are left by the inner demons of my past.
I've been beaten down by the truth
And dragged through the dirt by my empty foolishness.
Cause I'm reaching high, but I can't break free.
Skeletons from my dark past are still haunting me.
Cause I'm soaring high, but I can't break free.
Demons from my dark past are still haunting me.
They're haunting me.
III. Endless Nightmare
Forsaken by all,
Rage and deceit runs wild through my veins.
Remembering the fall,
Yet never letting defeat grab my life by the reigns.
Monstrous figures,
Shadows of death haunt my dreams.
Am I destined to live each day
In this dreadful world of fears?
Will I ever succeed?
I can never turn back from the path I've been led down.
Can I ever be free,
Or is this endless nightmare the last thing I'll ever see?
Monstrous figures,
Shadows of death haunt my dreams.
Am I destined to live each day
In this dreadful world of fears?
I'm trapped inside an iron cage.
IV. Reflection (Reprise)
I wake up in the morning and take a look in mirror.
I don't like what I see. I don't like who I am or what I've become.
The chains are evident, wrapped around my arms, by the wrinkles of time.
The freedom that was born is now ruined, thrashed, and torn, and left alone to die.
Kissed by an angel that won't believe I need to suffer.
Let me wallow in my deepest fears for today.
Turn away but never leave me. I cannot live through this pain.
Dying virtues never linger if you try to read the foreseen.
I'm tired of being the burden you carry.
I don't want to be the thorn in your side.
Sometimes I feel like you'd be better off without me.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm living my life all wrong,
Cause right now I feel like I'm gone.
Cause I'm reaching high, but I can't break free.
Skeletons from my dark past are still haunting me.
Cause I'm soaring high, but I can't break free.
Demons from my dark past are still haunting me.
They're haunting me.
7. A Moment To Rest
8. Domination
Music & Lyrics by Josh Carney
I stand before your parliament to preach my battered mind.
I've lived out my darkened life in endless pain.
I've tried so hard to ease the struggle from within,
But you just keep fasting me on parasitic lies.
I refuse to give up everything I've ever worked for.
Just dig your hole a little deeper
And everyday I'll become tenfold stronger.
I've been hardened by your domination.
Hardened by your domination.
I've stood before defiant eyes who seek their liberation.
They've answered to their fears for far too long.
Name the price of my salvation,
And you'll end up buried neck deep in flames.
I refuse to give up everything I've ever worked for.
Just dig your hole a little deeper
And everyday I'll become tenfold stronger.
I've been hardened by your domination.
Hardened by your domination.
I refuse to give up everything I've ever worked for.
Just dig your hole a little deeper
And everyday I'll become tenfold stronger.
I've been hardened by your domination.
Hardened by your domination.
