Cities ablaze as we race
Through a concrete maze
Eyes ablaze

And die for a name
For heaven
In this deadly game

Tears can't quench these sands
Why fight for peace in a holy land
Night has died and with it may I
Admist wars fair the heroes lie

The smell of death chills the air
I look for myself but I'm nowhere
Deliver me my prayer

Eyes of Denial

Secrets deception
Answers to give their own strength
As I look into your eyes questions need
Your silence and compromise
In my mind your voice towards me is wasted time

In your life there's frustration
And we fight for your say
It's your time for creation
As your time fades away

Is there a right and is there a reason
Do they lie and blind our own eyes
We strive for life a fight in the system
Only to find they supply our destiny

Twisted Ignorance
To those he lies for his own gain
Will you side away or be blinded to mine

Do we still fight trying to seek life in a better light
In our day
Here in our life is there a chance for this place in time
So we know

Threats trades negative power in rage
In a system that still remains
Knowing what could be
As we ask alone
Will we see as one

Do we still fight trying to seek life in a better light
Here in our life is there a chance for this place in time

Is there a reason for all the wrong
We need a change in vision
Needed for us to grow

Why I was chosen you are to blame
My mission here in power is my domain
You look for the answers seeking the chance
Are questions worth giving the system remains

A field of white reflects the light
Of a rose upon a tomb
On a cruel grey morning
Alone they stand with heads in hands
They lost one they lost one along the way
And they're still and they're still mourning today
Shed the tears forgive the years though it hurts to
Feel that way today
No one knows why we die so live through
For there is no other way
Some may believe in things they've never seen
Though we must wake we can live the dream
The reasons for the day no one knows still we take the thorns with the rose memories they fade and now I know
No matter how full the river must grow
Some may believe in things they've never seen
Though we must wake we can live the dream
Throw away the ties that bind you
And all that you have heard And when you find your way
And know the meaning
You can forget their words
A field of white reflects the light
Of a rose upon a tomb
And they're still and they're still mourning

I hear that voice calling once again
With visions of yesteryear and rivers of blood they shed
The times have changed but I'm steadfast
For a reign of terror the outcasts
Will be used against themselves through ignorance and lies
And so in hate my numbers grow and soon all the world will know
A twisted universal mind a mind like mine

Back to a time when I was young a father tells an only son
You are the chosen one
And as I grew so did my hate to cleanse the land became my fate
I became the gun

If the child grows knowing only what it's told
Then the man can learn only as his history unfolds
The roots of hatred we don't always see and so are left to grow

Fear begins in ones center and when allowed to flow
Will cast ripples upon still waters destroying all it knows
The disenfranchised will brutalize those who are not the same
The immigrants and infidels will be the pawn in their game
And they will use you against yourself through ignorance and lies

Hear that voice once again tie the borders
We need some order take a stand
So the politicians reach the white man
With loaded words a foot on the bible and rifle in their hands

Return to a time when you were young
When love lit your way
And all your troubles amounted to none
But who could who could say

But still do we really ever understand how we can love the child
But crucify the man
And do we ever really see that
"I could have been him and he could have been me"

Remember a time when you were young
When love cradled the day
And you did not know the difference between right and wrong
So who led who led the way
Now will you be the voice of reason when there's none
Who will who will sing it's song
I will

Descent:
Deep underground it lies hidden and waits
A demon seed man or beast a tragic fate
A dark secret of one thousand years
An experiment with life
It revealed a deeper fear mans eternal strife

Something went wrong so they hid the truth from it's eyes
They starved it of knowledge bound it's hands and fed it on lies

Deep in it's mind thoughts are suspended in hate
A frozen tomb earth's womb a dire state

Who am I what am I where am I
I cannot see I cannon feel I can't believe this is not real

A dark secret hidden far underground buried and left to die
But time revealed a deeper fear it was still alive

Awaken:
The creature stirs and slowly lifts its head
Not knowing whether it's alive or dead
It sees it's reflection but cannot believe
That the thing it sees before it has not one but two bodies

I can feel you we seem joined at the spine
So this is the reason they hid their crime
Are you just a part of me or can you hear my call
We must break free my silent twin and amaze them all
Rise

We can if we try leave this hell we share
To leave to break free to get somewhere
The deed is undone and the surface awaits
But she fell from his grasp as the earth began to quake
Deeper she fell until out of sight so he was left alone to face an eternal night

Union:
Lying on broken ground in the shadows never to be found
Her daylight's night her world is cold
Her spirit's lost a soul was sold
A memory from birth or was it just a dream
For in this world nothing is as it seems

His somber face passes by feigns disgrace and dares to try
Offering a word gets blank surprise
Offering herself he complies

He lifts her up she withers in his hands
No words spoken for eyes understand

He lifts her up to carry her away from the darkness to the light of day
Across the fields of souls forgot through mountains of pain
To the place paradise lost through the driving rain
He sheltered she but they did not know that she gave him life and so now he must go

Solace:
[instrumental]

Ascent:
Skin to skin upon the ocean they embrace and sink into the sea
Two became one but one had the notion
To live for their self and be free
Up from the depths a force it came the two that were one
Were now not the same one spread its wings and began to fly
One drifted away and began to die

Become yourself and all that you are
Set your sights no matter how far
Become yourself and all that you are
Set your sights
Set your sights no matter how far
Become yourself and all that you are
Set your sights no matter how far
Become yourself
