Silent empire I

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 of reach

you shout your blame

curse the ground beneath 

let out a cry

fall to the earth

you may survive 

but you won’t 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

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

though 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

Could you 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 no 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, where heaven and earth collide.

Let The Madhouse come to find

Let The Madhouse come to find

Race to the Sea

its 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 em down I trust

and 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 those 

where the fight is looking for hell

could we be for all to live in this

age of collateral violence

Every night is a martyr

covered in shells

may we go beyond 

our shame of sin

train these eyes to see a heart again
