Climbing walls of an endless circle
Walking paths you never heard of Struggling in an endless battle Searching far for a higher purpose Drowning in betrayals river The freezing cold will make you shiver Join the world of greater learning Crown the king and be my servants Mislead by beauty One you rarely find So loving and friendly It's one of a kind Their arms wide open Willing to take me in No doubts in choosing A world free from sin All the dreams I had All my future wishes Put aside for a greater journey All the things I planned Left my friends so coldly Put aside for a Higher? Mislead by beauty One you rarely find So loving and friendly It's one of a kind A single army A united "one" A touch of blessing Which cannot be undone Drowning in betrayals river The freezing cold will make you shiver Join the world of greater learning Crown the king and be my servants All the dreams I had All my future wishes Put aside for a greater journey All the things I planned Left my friends so coldly Put aside for a higher purpose [solo: Englund] All the dreams I had? 02. Ambassador Music by Tom S. Englund, Jonas Ekdahl Lyrics by Tom S. Englund
Show your soul for birth of freedom
Leave the cold to share our vision Will you follow me Will you walk with me We'll hold your heart if it bleeds Let me be your hand of guidance No more solitude No more independence If God weeps he weeps through me And if God hurts it hurts in me I am Light to cast away shadows The Spirit, the Holy Ghost and even Jesus God walking earth Ambassador Scattering all dark thoughts wandering I shatter all doubts surfacing This is my rescue and salvation Undivided and blessed vision I am Light to cast away shadows The Spirit, the Holy Ghost and even Jesus God walking earth Ambassador [solo: England/Danhage] I am... 03. In The Wake Of The Weary Music by Henrik Damage Lyrics by Tom S. Englund
So high on believing
Not seeing your changing I carry the weight and I'm weary We're wounded severely Despite of your vision You claim seeing so clearly Can't respect your decision In the wake of the weary Your angels are calling Their aim is rewarding Through ashes and failing So helpless and withering We're wounded severely Despite of your treason And a future I'm fearing I try to run when the walls come down Try to hide from the feelings I'm fearing but still? Can't respect your decision We're wounded severely Should see it so clearly And I can't take it no more A life in a lie where I scream and I cry But she won't lie no more Your angels are calling Their aim is rewarding Through ashes and failing So helpless and withering [solo: Englund] Your angels are calling? 04. Harmless Wishes Music by Henrik Danhage, Tom S. Englund, Rikard Zander Lyrics by Tom S. Englund
Relentless I'm speechless
I'm fooled by my inner weakness Enticing inspiring Your words were so convincing Delightful but soulless Claimed harmless wishes seems less Exciting Just frightening No more dawning days Only whispers of darkened ways Forever falling tears Forever falling No more screams in vain No more dreams put to shame It's only me Only me Defenseless and smiling Her innocence is shining His own flesh and own blood His words were so convincing Delightful so beautiful Can't stop what he's been told She's three years old No more dawning days Only whispers of darkened ways Forever falling tears Forever falling No more screams in vain No more dreams put to shame It's only me who's forever Falling, sleepwalking, desperate, crying No more dawning days Only whispers of darkened ways Forever falling tears Lands in the hands of somber fate [solo: Danhage] No more dawning days No more screams in vain No more feeling pain Forever? Forever? 05. Waking Up Blind Music & lyrics by Tom S. Englund
Leave the lie you got to find a way
Ask yourself why and give yourself a reason to stay Leave the lie am I begging in vain We're all left to fight with why You're not the same [solo: Danhage] Left behind we are stranded not free In silence I cry what went wrong was it me Led to believe in a truth that was false Truth built on greed and the faith of the weak Waking up blind and blind you must be So stupid of me to believe in your hypocrisy Gave it all up for life in a dream So foolish of me to not stop your infidelity Unfaithful Unfaithful to life [solo: Englund] 06. More Than Ever Music by Henrik Danhage Lyrics by Tom S. Englund
Time for a breather let it all sink in
A parse from the deceiver and to reach deep within I close my eyes if only for a second To let my courage rise All I need is one more reason To fail you as you failed me Waiting for the waves to break Hoping for the tide to change Embracing the awaiting aim Believing more than ever Believing more than ever I've tried so many times to leave you Just as many times as I've cried to see you Every road has its end and mine ends here As so does my faith [solo: Danhage/Englund] Waiting for the waves to break Hoping for the tide to change Embracing the awaiting aim Believing more than ever Believing more than ever Believing more than ever [solo: Englund] 07. The Essence Of Conviction Music by Tom S. Englund, Henrik Danhage, Jonas Ekdahl Lyrics by Tom S. Englund
Her gentle hand in his
Revelation serves as bliss They walk away from sunshine Led to believe the lie His lust fro untouched youth A well kept secret sealed His every night confession Reveals the most profane obsession Their trust is won and fate is conquered The essence of conviction Why me? I did no wrong I did not know You lied to me I meant no harm And I am blaming me Hand in hand down the altar aisle Her father's presence brings her to a smile A grand welcome from the assembled crowd Greeted as the "circles" first child Undressed to nothing and held to the sky Her smile is gone and she starts to cry Desperately seeking her father's eyes But he sees nothing He's blind? Why me? I did no wrong I did not know You lied to me I meant no harm And I am blaming me Why me? You lied to me? You lied to me? [solo: Danhage] You lied to me? You lied to me? 08. Where All Good Sleep Music by Rikard Zander, Tom S. Englund Lyrics by Tom S. Englund
In depths so deep I can't believe
Confusion conquers and frustration wins Into here light does not reach This is where pain and sorrow meet Into denial Baptized into a liar Give me the power Would you Could you Caught in a world where angels weep Where hatred battles greed and frustration wins Chained to a world where all good sleep This is where pain and sorrow meet [solo: Englund] Into denial Baptized into a liar Give me the power Could you Would you I'm doubting still denying The truth was more than shocking I'm doubting I'm hiding, hiding I'm running knowing they're watching I'm still in disbelief from what I've seen Where I'm hiding, hiding? Hide? Run? Into denial Baptized into a liar Give me the power Could you Would you 09. Faith Restored Music & lyrics by Tom S. Englund
In a moment of clarity
It all became crystal And now I'll try to find someone to heal me I'm broken Through the mist in a dream where I show you Through the rain and the dark that holds you Heal me, I'm broken Time to discover what lies hidden in the sand Time for renewal and to be cleansed by the hand To heal me relieve me Heal me Release me while I'm still breathing And when it all came to clarity There was no perfection Dreams were shattered Hope was washed away Through the mist in a dream where I show you Through the rain and the dark that holds you Heal me, I'm broken Time to start over I'm given a new chance And time to discover There were no treasures in the sand To heal me relieve me Heal me Release me while I'm still breathing 10. When The Walls Go Down Music by Tom S. Englund, Rikard Zander, Henrik Danhage, Jonas Ekdahl
Lord, if you don't help me I can't get through this.
I can't... Lord, I'm too old for games, Foolish wisdom... And I'm tired of rhetoric, meaningless rhetoric that never changes things... Lord, just help me, Just help me... I was feeling God's pain! And I've never had anything that's been any worse to God in my fifty years, That wasn't born in agony, never, never... Damn empty... And I know that sermons won't do it, I know that revelation won't do it, Covenant won't do it, I know now, oh my God do I know it... Until I'm in agony, Until I'm in anguish over it, I'm preaching sermons... Oh God... I broke down and I wept and I mourned, Does it matter to you at all? I can't handle this, I can barely make it into here... Little by little you're losing it, The love of God, the love of Christ. People I know that were my friends, I've seen them go one by one, some of my closest friends... You're changing! You know what you were, You're CHANGING, Little by little something's happening to you... Will it bring you to your knees? That's all the Devil wants to do, Take the fight out of you, and kill it! So you won't labour in prayer anymore, So you won't weep before God anymore, Go to HELL! No weeping, not one prayer, it's all ruined, No laughing. This is life and death - and the walls go down and ruin sets in... Where's the tears? Where's the mourning? Where's the confessing? The love of Christ? The agony... of God's heart... WE... HAVE SINNED!!! |
