1. As Daylight Dies
We watch the degradation of the civilization
The rise and fall of all we are
Stands here before us
This place is evil
We stare in insult
This world is vile
We are the answer
How long until we die?
Die from the inside out
How much is enough to see the light?
How much blood must be shed?
Come past the lies
We cannot be so blind
Hear their cries
The wait 'til daylight dies
Daylight dies
We all have blood on our hands
How can we (how can we) ignore the sound?
Come past the lies
We cannot be so blind
Hear their cries
The wait 'til daylight dies
The cost of one life
The price of ones soul
Is too much to lose
No more broken promises
The shattered hearts will heal
No more broken promises
No more (no more)
Come past the lies
We cannot be so blind
Hear their cries
The wait 'til daylight dies
How long until it dies?
How long?
How long?
How long until it dies
How long?
How long?
2. This is Absolution
We will not die this way, in unification
They cannot break these chains of faith
We will not die this way (this is absolution)
Death claims us no more (no more)
Do not grief, end the suffering
We will live, were eternal
Will take the stand among the dead?
Bury your fear, and hold fast to life
We will not die this way (this is absolution)
Death claims us no more (no more)
Do not grieve, end the suffering
We will live, were eternal
Anchor yourself to the foundation of everything you love
Believe you have just become to live
Dont let the world deceive you
Dont let their words betray you
Dont let their lies deceive you
Lead them to their graves
We will not die this way (This is absolution)
Death claims us no more (no more)
Do not grief, end the suffering
We will live, were eternal
3. The Arms of Sorrow
Imprisoned, inside this mind
Hiding behind the empty smiles
So simple (delinquish)
Isn't much made
Crawling back into the dark
Running, always running, into the distance
Stop me before I bleed, again
The echos of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down
Deeper I'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Building decending
Into the arms of sorrow
There must be serenity
The echos of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down
Deeper I'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Building decending
Into the arms of sorrow
The demons of my own design
This horror not remain
Deeper I'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Building decending
Into the arms of sorrow
There must be serenity
There must be deleverance
Deeper I'm falling
Building decending
4. Unbroken
Forever falling into obvlion
The darkness crawls forward and engulfs my will to live
Fear is failure and this is my motivation
Take back what is stolen
Reclaim all that is lost
With virtue I will rise up from the ruins
Through adversity there is redemption
With passion fighting
I am unbroken
Through adversity there is redemption
With passion fighting
I am unbroken
Take back what is stolen
Embrace the struggle
Refuse to turn back now and be led astray
Fear is failure and this is my affirmation
Through adversity there is redemption
With passion fighting
I am unbroken
Through adversity there is redemption
With passion fighting
I am unbroken
The absence of fear is the renewel of self
The absence of doubt breeds desire
If there is truth to fate I will design it
I will not be denied
5. My Curse
I watched you walk away
Hopeles, with nothing to say
I screen my eyes
Hoping to see you again
This is my curse (the longing)
This is my curse (to)
This is my curse (the yearning)
This is my curse
There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
Will you be here?
Your silence haunts me
But I still hunger for you
This is my curse (the wanting)
This is my curse (to)
This is my curse (the needing)
There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
Still I want
And I still I ache
But still I wait
To see you again
Dying, inside, these walls (2x)
Can I see your face in these tears? In these tears
And I see your face...
There is love (8x)
6. For You
The fires burn through me
Are only stench of you
Dont put aside
The time slips by
Are only cult of you
I give my word to stand the test of time
No more wasted days
The past must bury
The line is drawn
I pledge my devotion
There is no turning
This heart is yours
I sacrifice for you (for you)
This is immortal
The fires burn through me
Are only stench of you
Yea
With each passing day, this harm is endless
No more wasted time
We are immortal
The line is drawn
I pledge my devotion
There is no turning
This heart is yours
I sacrifice for you (for you)
This is the everlasting
This is immortal
Your words are my inspiration
Your life, an image of perfection
For all you are, for all youve done
Stands to be in a reflection
The line is drawn
I pledge my devotion
There is no turning
This heart is yours
I sacrifice for you (for you)
This is the everlasting
This is immortal
7. Still Beats Your Name
Who knows how long I've been lost in the dark
Followed closely by the footsteps of my failures
What can I do to altar my perception of the way and the truth?
Let this burden drift away
Who knows how long the void has swallowed me
I only wish for nothing more than peace to find me
How can this be?
We've come so far to let the weight destroy our grand design
Let this burden drift away
My pledge remains faithful to you
And my heart still beats your name
Drowning once again
Will I live another day?
To reach the surface
Let this burden drift away
Drowning
Choking
Fading
Life
Is this the moment where I leave the blackness?
Is this the moment of my rebirth?
Who knows how long I've been lost in the dark
Followed closely by the footsteps of my failures
What can I do to altar my perception of the way and the truth
Drowning once again
Will I live another day?
To reach the surface
Let this burden drift away
Drowning again
Reach the surface
Let it drift away
8. Eye of the Storm
As time goes by
Nothing has changed
I wont stand and watch
You wither away
After all this time
I stand by you
Through all of the years
I've been with you
Through pain and affliction
With every addiction
I will never let you down
I will
Never surrender
You and I are one
Through the eye
Of the storm
You are never alone
Even through, the shadows
You are never alone
After all this time
Still you struggle
Even words of love
Ring so hollow
I have no regrets
I have no remorse
And if you falter
I wont let you down
Through the eye
Of the storm
you are never alone
Even through, the shadows
You are never alone
Come on
Together we stand
Never fall
No matter the trial
We will overcome
Together we stand
Never fall
No matter the Trial
We will overcome
Through the eye
Of the storm
You are never alone
Even through, the shadows
You are never alone
Never
Together we stand
Never fall
No matter the trial
We will overcome
We will overcome
9. Break the Silence
As I live and breathe
I'm watching, watching a world die
We greet this with apathy
No longer consumed by self
We walk through each day with no mind to deprivation and moral decay
We must destroy and rebuild
We must destroy and rebuild for the sake of all
It starts with one
As I live and breathe
I'm watching, watching a world die
We greet this with apathy
No longer
If we can't break the silence
How can we survive?
Search inside yourself
Know that you're alive
We must break the silence, now we are alive
Silent no longer
Make this world take notice that change is in our hands
The battle has just begun
We are not defeated
If we can't break the silence
How can we survive?
Search inside yourself
Know that you're alive
We must break the silence, now we are alive
Silent no longer
With all that I am
I will lift my voice to start this revolution
It starts today and it starts with me
Silent no longer
With all I am
I will lift my voice
With all I am
It starts with me
Break the silence, we are alive
10. Desperate Times
Time and time again
I stand at the crossroad
Where the weight of my burden
Eclipses my resolve
This broken path I've chosen
I walk it alone
Though I feel forgotten
You've carved my name in stone
In these desperate times
This I plead
When all else fails
Remember me
This is daily crucifixtion
And these rusted nails leave scars
My jagged crown is on my side
Because it never fell
In these desperate times
This I plead
When all else fails
Remember me
Theres no question
Youre the answer
I will find you...
In these desperate times
This I bleed
When all fails
Remember me
In these desperate times
This I bleed
When all fails
Remember me
11. Reject Yourself
Their cries are blown away with the wind
How passive can we be before humanity is lost?
Turning our backs on those who need love
We must not rest while healing is needed
Tear down the veil that bars your heart from feeling this
Dedicate yourself
Give your souls to compassion
With open arms embrace this heart
With open eyes behold the truth
Embrace this life
So little time is left
We must be relentless in our pursuit of those in torment
Tear down the veil that bars your heart from feeling this
Dedicate yourself
Become the voice of compasssion
With open arms embrace this heart
With open eyes behold the truth
Embrace this life
Can you reject yourself?
Can you feel their agony?
In a world that feeds on disregard
Heal the broken hearted
