The Pull of the Tide
04:21
|
|||
|
A cold heart has gone astray
A closed mind won't bring me back
Ascend or be swept aside
No end to the pull of the tide
Wash me away
A cold heart has gone astray
My anchor drops and here I stay
Safe from a change - safe in the same
How can I live without a purpose
Unable to face what's on the surface?
Can't breathe with the world on my back
Can't see as it all fades to black
Sanity escapes me
A closed mind won't bring me back

Crestfallen
03:53
|
|||
|
We're buried in lies
Must shed this disguise
We're bleeding so tired
Receding soul spire
Our love
Our hate
And now the sky is turning black
And the rain is falling
There is no turning back
I am crestfallen
Just numbing the pain
And it will never change
So toxic - so real
Despair is what I feel
I left my life in your hands

Save Me
03:07
|
|||
|
I've strayed from divine
Walked the thin line
Crept into the darkness
And out of the light
I've tried to stay true
To everything I knew
Even though the cancer
Just grew and grew
I give myself to you
Body and soul
My heart is fortress
But you've broken through
I was just a shell
Of the man I knew well
Then down can an angel
To save me from hell
My forgotten pride
A cold heart inside
Within every truth
Resides a lie
I've tried to be good
Tried to live a life
I thought would fulfill me
But I'm dying inside

Surrender
03:23
|
|||
|
Surrender all your time
Bow to me - give me your life
Forever you will be mine
Indentured servant of fire
You wasted all your chances
To break the mold
And now the devil dances
Consumes you soul
You could have tried to fight it
You could have won
You gave your life up before
It had begun
You brought this upon yourself
Your karma comes
I gave my life to you
And now it's shunned

Medusa
02:56
|
|||
|
Don't look so cold
Gaze of stone
Pierce right through me
Your blackened heart
Hollow eyes
Foreign to me
Don't be so bold
Headstrong soul
You kill me
You only think about yourself
You wish that I was someone else
You will destroy
All we've built
It's comes crashing
Do you enjoy
Raising hell?
Comes naturally
Don't be so bold
Headstrong soul
You kill me

Hallways
02:59
|
|||
|
Can it be the end?
Are we here again?
Is this even real?
I cannot spend another day wondering
I'm broken down and heart is hurting
Can light be shed?
I'm here with you always
I still hear you in the hallways
The fear I knew is falling away
Cycle repeating
I am defeated
Complete despair
This is my downfall
I gave you my all
Gave you everything I had

Fire Inside
04:21
|
|||
|
I feel the fire burning deep inside
Determination bleeding from my eyes
I feel the hunger calling - I'll heed the cries
This is my destiny - this is my life
Don't fade away
Live for today
Embrace the fire inside
Feel the warmth
Feed it fuel
Fuel to burn
I see the fire is burning out of control
I feel desire pour into my soul
Now I've swallowed it
Fire breather

Shelter Me
03:50
|
|||
|
Shelter me from the cold, dark night
Watch over me - keep me in your sight
Take hold of me - let me feel your warmth
Show me you are here for me
See life through my eyes
Breathe love through my lungs
Feel love in my heart
Here me when I call to you
Cause if I'm leaving, I ain't ever coming back again
So if you need me, say the words
|

Lost and Found
04:22
|
|||
|
I was so lost and confused
I didn't know what to do
Always searching for something
Has to be more to life than this
Needing to find my purpose
And I could hear it calling
Through those distant melodies
I knew I'd been set free
I found my way to you
When my soul was wondering
I was broken in two
And you made me whole again
And now I've dedicated
My life to trying to make it
I want to spread the sound out
I want to take over the world
And I am getting older
But I'm still having fun
I'll give one last shot
It's all I've really got
This is the time - never give up
These are the days we will remember

Ashes
03:03
|
|||
|
Time's flying by
Life flashes before our eyes
Go with the flow
Reaping what you sow
Find a way to seize the day
Because we got a long way
If we're gonna make it on our own
If we're gonna break free from this
Fatal sequence
And even when we think that we're alright
It can fall apart in just one night
Identify the path and do not stray
Or in ashes we'll lay
I've seen your eyes
Turn from white to a burning red
And you've seen my face in disgrace
Seen me fall from grace

The End of the Light
04:28
|
|||
|
Thought I knew you (I thought too much)
Words came to me (but I didn't say enough)
I gave you my all (for far too long)
Now I can see (I was so wrong)
And now the truth shall set me free
You want control - it's not yours to have
You can't take it
Hollow inside - you're a shell to me
You just fake it
If I go down (you'll come with me)
Buried beneath (so we won't be seen)
You've leeched upon me (but I'm not the only one)
You drain the life (from those within reach)
The end of the light
Into the night
