Lyrics
Silent Empire
Odyssey
Bridges burn
terror underneath
you lie face-down
colors fill the streets
made the attempt
Searching for a why
Lost thy name
while looking for a sign
should have looked inside
spoke in vain
always out o reach
you shout your blame
curse the ground beneath
let out a cry
fall to the earth
you may survive
but you won't no return
fear, like waves
a drowning in the deep
bound to break
upon anything
May i remind
you how the world was made
dust to light
for the price of grace
So when the sky falls
stay around my love
for when the sky falls
so you can become
when the sky falls
stay around my love
for when the sky falls
Each step like
learning how to breathe
a death to pride
allows one to see
tho giants wait
and demons call
the sweetest place
is nothing at all
a truth abused to serve a selfish hand
destroyed the past so one could live
the miracle of life isn’t, to exist
to go beyond to find what lies within
The Madhouse
Empire: O Divine, could bear this weight? I’m paralyzed
Refused to feel, a vacant heart as hard as steel.
Divine: You, always waiting to follow
Choose, if you live before you die
Empire: How long I’ve crawled into the dark
Wary, I’d stay fallen
Strangers filled the mind
But here, tonight
Let The Madhouse come to find
A fueled light
I’m not longer a will
to break or a
voice that’s faded
A fueled light
You’re damn right I’ve come to make
make The Madhouse get behind
Empire: Cloaked device
Every silhouette a mask of might
The view though near
face to face evades me still
Divine: Who ever said your home was sorrow?
New is the day with no disguise
O again you find
the past ignites
a world of dreams you used to hide
Will you be bound again?
Divine: O well can you see the beauty that tragedy finds?
Don’t miss the times, when heaven and earth collide.
Empire: How long I’ve crawled into the dark
Wary, I’d stay fallen
Strangers filled the mind
But here, tonight
Let The Madhouse come to find
A fueled light
I’m not longer a will
to break or a
voice that’s faded
A fueled light
You’re damn right I’ve come to make
make The Madhouse get behind
Let The Madhouse come to find
Let The Madhouse come to find
RACE TO THE SEA
A tribal speech contains it’s own division
Where the trenches go deep
In no man’s land, one must decide
Black or white keep the eyes closed
and stand at attention
Then, return the battlecry
Could I hold my breath?
Call of my own
The divide is
making these cells
we carry with us
Tear away these guns
lay them down, I trust
to let it be light for tomorrow
let it be done for a city to come
Till the day is won
with a flag for none
Disguise all these words with good intentions
the claim that this fight, it cannot be won
with a bullet’s speed
to claim a fight still ignites those
to their defenses
it’s a race to the sea
Calling all thosewhere the fight is
looking for hell
could be for all to live in this
age of collateral violence?
Every night is a martyr
covered in shells
May we see beyond our
shame of sin
Train the eyes to see a heart again
Apartment Diaries
Afterglow
Sticks and stones, they tear your skin, and break your bones
then these words, with the might of a thousand storms shake the earth
but, you and I, collide into their threats
carry worth
it's our time, to recite a song of no return
sons and daughters remain strong, these devils hold a light
when they come, and these skies of hell rain down may you sing
"I'd rather burn forever"
take your time, let the whole world see our light
shed our skin, but this is the moment our voice begins
delight in our afterglow
our design; redefined
we've longed to be set free
in the end we delight
in the rise our ashes bring
Wasteland
I can see my own penance deems a lane to perdition
I seek, I seek another way home for all that i’ve done
can’t resist what I’ve witnessed
breathe
realize I’ve been given a means to fight until the daybreak
until I fall
carry on, please lead me to something
as I pass by the destruction
a wasteland
the weight of all I am
tho my failures follow injustice
tho all these crimes call for judgement
a wasteland
the weight I bare; I can
scars of twisted ambition seek a need for conviction and peace
a long to rise again, upon this wasteland
can’t deny my addiction; disease
admit to my weakness
retreat; no long a way home
for a rider of storms
as the sun lights the day
and my body’s laid to rest
in peace I can proclaim
that I fought to the death and waged war
waged war
Animus
seek to find, pull the string, hear the depth
of a hearts’ beat is taking over
free fall into closure
sing a carol, sing free
from the depth of a heart speaks
of things to be and of things to see
all our love taking the night
the lies are undone as we become
fierce suns bound together
cut the line let it go
take the wind to the unknown
you’re getting closer
a clear mind carries over
a buried spark will concede
don’t get lost in the cold deep
take time to breath, take time to dream
you’ve come
more or less with nothing
you long, to find a way
you’ve run
too far for nothing
so become
a buried spark will concede
don't get lost in the cold
I For One
Carry me out there beyond the atmosphere
I really want to know
See if our likeness lives in the stars
I'm here, I'm ready for the show
I for one, well I for one, I stand in the mind of a maker out here
brace for the sun, see comets run
I find there's a hope for the future, my dear
I for one, see the light of the future so clear
brace for the setting sun, I see the hope for the future right here
I see the hope for the future right here
I see the hope for the future
bright, right here
I see the hope for the future right here
Gone beyond these lights where time stands still
I'm ready to be shown
hear the ancients call my heart
"be still, and turn your eyes to home."
Like the sun awakening from the heavens
I will set fire to the clouds
setting their hearts ablaze
changing the way, they see these skies
I see the hope for the future right here
The Show
Hit the lights, check the sound, take the stage, stand my ground
lay it on me, it on me, it all on me
Show my scars, share my pain, sing my joy, feel the grace
lay it on me, it on me, it all on me
the show will make a way
I want to know beyond what lies on the outside
Go along this ride, searching where life began
I want to sail to the farthest reaches of your mind
I can take my place, and I won't be looking back
speak my fears, face my change, admit wrongs, capture faith
lay it on me, it on me, it all on me
heard my name, saw the signs, answered calls, witnessed life
lay it on me, it on me, it all on me
and the show will make a way
Wake up
blinded we’ve become to carnage and violence
these hands bound and tied
to prosper, within lines
the weakest; prey for kings; the design of our being
pretend we’re surprised when we consume
and take sides
are we owned
are we clones
on the line, and now it’s ‘o so clear
I won’t go
I’m waking up , I’m waking up
defiance, once what I feared
but now I know
I’m waking up, I’m waking up
Our cage all depends, if we need convenience
disguise all these words with passion and page turns
the blood stained cathedrals blamed
can’t admit to our mistakes
forced into a damned romance
who will scream, “resistance”
Rattle the cage
these chains were meant
for someone else
We are the rage
defiant to the walls you build
