A Sorry Sight
01:49
|
|||
I believe in the power of humanity. We’ll overcome all the obstacles, within our reach. Don't analyze or patronize me. We're all
in this together! This is a sorry sight. We need to stick together. We won't be here forever. I believe in unity of mankind.
We let despair grab us by the throat. Don't need you to tell me, I'm wasting my time. It's not in vain, we won't live in vain!
This is a sorry sight. We need to stick together. We won't be here forever. This is our personal fight. We can’t give up on
ourselves. As long as there's light at the end of the tunnel. I won't toss away my ideals. I won't give in to defeat. And even
if this noose is getting tight. The future's looking bright. If we let our heads hang. I'll support them. This is a sorry sight.
We need to stick together. We won't be here forever. This is our personal fight. We need to keep it together, even in this
stormy weather.

Until The Bomb Drops
00:53
|
|||
When belief is a lie and doubt is your downfall. Will you face your fate when it’s too late? Call the police…and let them sort
it out. Isn’t this what thought control…is all about? We’re the nitrate, ready to explode. We let our minds get taken over
All I know your truth is mine. False hope slips through our hands. Will we ever measure up? We’re the nitrate, ready to
explode. We let despair… grab us by the throat. We’re the nitrate, ready to explode

Silent Screams
01:39
|
|||
Is this your retribution for a lonely life? Does your heart still hurt or is it barely beating? Is this just a shot in the
dark, ricocheted against the wall which holds you back. Regrets still come from reasoning. The truth is out there within
your reach. These silent cries for help have never been so loud. Penetrating screams of pain of a helpless crowd. Nails are
shut, tight on the casket. When lowered down, every second of every day. Every second of every day. Millions of people die
of starvation and war. For economies to thrive to recycle the process. Is there a better way? Is there a better way? These
silent screams for help have never been so loud. Never been so loud. Loud!

Release The Shackles
02:36
|
|||
I've been trapped inside these trenches for far too long. Eyes seem open but I'm way too blind to see the world is changing,
Still not able to look around for new endeavours. A place for me to feel freed from these shackles which kept from opening
up my mind. Open up my eyes for the world to see. I’m still limited in a world full of possibilities. I'm still complaining
but something's got to change my ways. Release The Shackles. Release The Shackles. Release. Release The Shackles.
Release The Shackles. As a child I was so careless and I fantasize of what I'd become. I can't believe I'm gagged and bound
as I strive to be a better man. A better man.

Light Years Away
02:15
|
|||
Is there anybody out there hearing my voice? I guess it's loud enough here, but does it get lost in the void? Captain
my captain is our vessel prepared for the journey? Have we brought all we need in need? Have we brought all we need?
We want to explore a place of origins unknown without looking around to what we own. Are we close to our destiny?
Are we light years away, light years away? Who’ll take my anxiety? Am I light years away, light years away?
Physical possessions don't mean a thing to me. It's what's in the heart that counts. It's what's in the heart.
General in general I think we've got it made. Have we brought all we need in need? Have we brought all we need?
We want to explore a place of origins unknown without looking around to what we own. Brace yourself for impact,
because we're getting close to our final destination. Is the realization, we're not here forever. Every day is a
celebration of life. Light years away, light years away

Writer's Block
02:23

I just can't explain what the fuck is on my mind. I'm agitated, reinventing my own perception's gone. No, no cause for alarm.
Who's ringing the bell. It's getting on my nerves. Is this what we deserve? Are these the things I taught you? Is this your
so-called "American Dream"? I guess you're looking for the answers. I gave you thousand times before. I told them they're
just stuck in their ways, wasting their days. Every person seems isolated, surrounded by a crowd. Maybe it's reassuring we
don't need to speak. Only listen to the silence inside the void. Our eyes are open. Still we are blind for the truth. Our
thoughts are pointless, our memories will fade. Our eyes are open. Still we are blind for the truth. Our thoughts are
pointless, our memories will fade. Our voices will fade. Our memories will fade. Our voices will fade. Voices will fade.

Ashes To Ashes
02:23
|
|||
Are we here to live or are we here to die? This cycle of life is leaving us questioning. What's in store for us or are we
ignoring it. Just live your life, live it day by day. Let your actions speak louder than words. Let your actions speak
louder than words. Ashes to Ashes and dust to dust. Do we need an answer in which God do you trust? Technology
deteriorates, reduced to rust. Who do you trust? Our redemption’s bringing us beyond the grave. Some of us need answers
to questions we can never answer. Tell me this, how can you reason your beliefs. When all of your loved ones are ripped
away from you. Who do you trust?

This is where my essence resides. You call me at night, but it doesn't matter. I’d gladly pick up the phone if I'm all
alone, but I'd rather be with you. Home is where the heart is. My heart is here with you. This is what we live for. Our
bond is always true. One boy and a baby on the way. I think we've got it made. We’ve got friends & family and a roof
over our heads. Home is where the heart is. My heart is here with you. This is what we live for. Our bond is always true.
Through the good and the bad. We made a commitment and I'll stick to it. Through thick and thin. This is not the end.
This is where we begin! Home is where the heart is. My heart is here with you.

Between The Lines
01:47
|
|||
Always straight to the point. Neglecting the fine prints underneath the surface. Been headstrong for too long. Open your mind.
Read between the lines. You might surprise yourself when you think about it. Maybe it's time to respect that, You're not the
only living being on this planet. Who's got a voice. Just listen to your surroundings. These different points of view will
open up your mind. Maybe it's just my voice. Maybe it’s your own choice. And you're too blind to see this through. Maybe it's
just my voice. But it's your own choice to shut out everyone with different opinions. Hope you're not stuck on your island,
like I once was. I really hope you can build a ship to get across to the real world.

Dark Matters
04:32
|
|||
My eyes are staring, straight into the unknown. There's nothing out there, but there's a force pulling me in. My body's
trembling like a leaf, you left me empty like a thief. Do we always have to know what the future holds for us? Do we need
stability, no surprises, no regrets. I can't believe we're not taking the risk. To improve our lives. To see beyond the
boundaries. Dark matters are keeping you away. We don't know what's in store for us. Dark matters are keeping you away
We don't know if it's safe. Dark matters! We always want an explanation for what our eyes can see. But if we open our minds
there are limitations to what we believe. I have my doubts, I have my fears, but I'm getting wiser through the years I still
don't know what's in front of me, I don't know. I don't know what's in front of me. I don't know what's behind.

A Bridge Too Far
03:24
|
|||
You’ve let it come to this, you let it slip away. If this story ends, the way it should would you praise your god. Whatever it
means, whatever that means. It seems the oldest song in the book reminds me of you. Another chorus comes along I hope it
skips to the end. You want it all, but you’ve crossed the line to the point of no return. Across the bridges you have burned.
Still you’ve learned, nothing. And it holds you down, until you fall asleep. You may be dreaming but you’re still awake. Your
soul is clinging onto yesterday, while your body breaks. When all life will come to an end. You are the destroyer, you are the
martyr. Another chorus comes along I hope it skips to the end. Almost halfway there, halfway gone. Almost halfway there,
halfway done.

On every second of the day I recall the memories we used to share, all the places we have been. The pictures I hold to
remind me of them. So many stories to be told, our walks over the board walk. Talks in front of the fireplace. Every minute
that we're apart makes me sick to my stomach. I love you to death and I wasn’t afraid to scream it out loud. You’re my half
heart on my medallion. my wedding ring. And if you ever read this, I will tell you I'm sorry. Making room, making space.
With every breath I take. Distance only growing longer to overcome the haste. I'm still disappointed by the sacrifices we
once made for the cause. Little discomfort for the greater good and it’s good to know you’re still here with me. I bridge
the gap, bridge the gap that’s come between us. The air between us, the air between us. I’m nothing in between. Picture
frames hold the memories of restless days. Picture frames hold the memories of restless nights. Picture frames hold the
memories of restless days & restless nights.

Shadows Of War
01:44
|
|||
And now I’m breaking glass, my fist up in the air. I’m feeling angry; don’t know why my rage is beyond compare. Beyond compare. Beyond compare. It all amounts to nothing, I can’t relate. It all amounts to nothing, who is the person that I hate? Beyond our war and beyond our recognition. We must stand tall, we can’t give in. Behind the mask, we won’t see any faces. We say we trust our minds, but not our hearts. And now I’m breaking down, the walls I’ve put up in front of me. I’m calling out, but no-one seems to hear my voice.
