1. Day By Day
I cannot look back
memories I lack of my yesterday
As I serve the shame
Nothing left to blame tears fill my eyes
Caught in this pain I'm feeling
Pouring rain hits my face
Stay on this course we've plotted
Trust in fate will guide me home
I live day by day, alone
-still trying to find my way home
I try to heal these wounds I've made
-trying but can't 'cause I'm still so afraid
Lost inside of me
Drifting in the sea, no beacon no light
guides me on my way
so again I stray -why have you lied?
Thought I was safe from feeling
weights of stories both past and foretold
Seasons of manic dreaming
Lust and hate, these things unfold
I live day by day, alone
-still trying to find my way home
I try to heal these wounds I've made
-trying but can't cause I'm still so afraid
2. Like Him
Born into this world one day
The heir to a tyrant's reign of pain
Indoctrinate
To rule with hate
For the son to feel pride
By his father's side
Forcefed views
Mental abuse
What goodness creates
He devastates
From the pits of darkness rises a light astray
Filling the void that terror employed
Change came to the boy on a street
A girl dressed in rags taught him to see
There is no escape
No passing of judgment
Your people are dying and so am I
She drew her final breath
And died in his arms and
He shouts out to the sky
I won't be like him
Under blood red skies a flicker of hope and love
An echoing song to right all the wrong
I won't be like him
3. The Damned
Render a sight late in the night and carry the story in time
With our fate stayed on your mind
To carry the price of solemn advice
To cherish and pray for a roll of the dice
And to bear truth to his sign
Morrow wind, herald of sorrow
Bless this sleeping kind
Across the plains the winds of tomorrow
Bear with them a tainted soul
Here are the damned awaiting the living
The bringer of war, the dawn is no more
To carry the strife with the way of the sword
From coast to coast, from land to land
Tearing in twain on the weakest of strands
and I know, nowhere to go
The sky is dark, the clockwork is turning
As the sun goes down
And all around the crosses are burning
And with them our last best hope
Here are the damned awaiting the living
The bringer of war, the dawn is no more
To carry the strife with the way of the sword
Over the fields slain to a man
destiny played on the weakest of hands
and the poor souls made to burn
And on these grounds the power the wicked
Bear within has gained control
Here are the damned awaiting the living
The bringer of war, the dawn is no more
To carry the strife with the way of the sword
Free of the sand never forgiving
Always on guard it’s gone too far
Here there be dragons and here are the damned
4. Temple In The Storm
Your waiting is over for now
The damage is done
The will to resist You has gone
Enter nightfall
The moon watches over the world
Blind to the eye
That's still looking over what's mine
In the twilight
Walking through the door
The light so cold
It strikes my back and chills this
Blood that sees me through
Until I sleep, with You behind my eyes
I'll be there
I'll be Your own
I'll be Your temple in the storm
With every word and every day
In a world of many
The streetlight is calling my name
The game has begun
You stand in its spotlight so run
I'm behind You
You smile at the world as I hide
With tears in my eyes
By now You must know my surprise
Is inside You
Nothing feels the same
I feel the shame for what I've done to You
I'll be there
I'll be Your own
I'll be Your temple in the storm
With every word and every day
In a world of many cares
5. Blinding My Eyes
Sunrise blinding my eyes
Riding on the wind
Down, down, down
Oppression is holding us down
Tied to the ground
Shackled and chained we are bound
See how you’ve broken
The will of all these men
The spirits are choking
But hope will always remain
Sunrise blinding my eyes
Riding on the wind
I’m sick of this, sick of this fighting
Life like animals
Pound, pound, pound
Grinding them into the ground
Keeping them blind
In darkness ever confined
Revel in terror
Revel in pain
Our spirits are choking
But hope will never refrain
Sunrise blinding my eyes
Riding on the wind
I’m sick of this, sick of this fighting
Life like animals
Die, die, die
The forgers of this evil lie
The yoke cast aside
Breaking the chains Freedom cry
No we are rising, reach for the sky
Sunrise kissing my eyes
Riding on the wind
I’m free from this, free from this fighting
Free like animals
Beauty reflecting the sunlight
Mountains crowned with snow
I marvel at valleys in bloom
Stand in awe of mother earth
6. The Secret
How I want to tell You
Of man and god
Still we pray and send him up
A fallen lie
I find I'm looking back to
Days gone by
To a time before every day
Was night
You cannot live forever
My time is now
The gold You seek to gather
Is mine to own
The secret
Still living
Has fallen into foreign hands
Deciding every day You live
And so humanity will fall
Before our eyes
Too sundered to remember
The ancient rites
Oh, have I lived to see
The end of time
The prayer that dies with my last breath
Is only mine
You cannot live forever
My time is now
Although You stay together
You die alone
Still breathing
Still seething
The mournful eye upon Your face
Follow me to Your dying day
7. What I've Become
Through the darkness, spawned in terror
winds thaty try and catch the sun
-now and forever
Void of feeling, roaming freely
Spires arise to shame the sky
What do I feel, Oh my lord make me free of their blame
Dream my child as though it were real
And I’ll join you
And in the dawn awoken I will see
What I’ve become
Souls are harnessed eyes dishonest
Moon and star behind their shield
In the cradle children laden
From this ordeal, oh my god can they ever be spared?
Dream my child as though it were real
And I’ll join you
And in the dawn awoken I will see
What I’ve become
Thoughts are playing wills are swaying
Rearranging words of lore
-stronger than ever
Fear annealing hatred reeling
Realize the time is near
I rise from my knees for no god made me free all these years
Dream my child as though it were real
And I’ll join you
And in the dawn awoken I will see
What have I done?
8. In The Blink Of An Eye
When silence
It falls before my eyes
No light
In darkest night
My mind it
Dreams of those who fall asleep
This life
This quiet plight
You can hear me cry
Can I stand to ask You why
You have cast me into night
Neverending distant light
So I surrender to You my life
Lost in the blink of an eye
I have lived a million times
Cried, tried to awake every night
Daydreamers
Send me into the sky
On wings
Of hope and love
Night screamers
Oh, I look into the rain
And stare
At fires above
Tame my pain, let them fray my eyes
9. Untitled
I cannot look back
memories I lack of my yesterday
As I serve the shame
Nothing left to blame tears fill my eyes
Caught in this pain I'm feeling
Pouring rain hits my face
Stay on this course we've plotted
Trust in fate will guide me home
I live day by day, alone
-still trying to find my way home
I try to heal these wounds I've made
-trying but can't cause I'm still so afraid
Lost inside of me
Drifting in the sea, no beacon no light
guides me on my way
so again I stray -why have you lied?
Thought I was safe from feeling
weights of stories both past and foretold
Seasons of manic dreaming
Lust and hate, these things unfold
I live day by day, alone
-still trying to find my way home
I try to heal these wounds I've made
-trying but can't cause I'm still so afraid
