Tracks



01. Face The Fear

Pain still remains, redirect this change, release all the rage, that's in me

Mind screams to me, useless memories, brings me to my knees, no release

Death was only a vision, away, the only direction I knew
A path forever winding down, sanity find me somehow

So here we are to face the fear
Divided minds could never see so clear
Could dreams portray the true side, before the stars surrender to light?

I feel the earth turning beneath my feet
While the clouds seem to spin above my head

So here we are to face the fear
Divided minds could never see so clear
Could dreams portray the true side, before the stars surrender to light?

Pain still remains!

Darkness gathers, strength infecting me
Emptiness controls my every need
Distant memories are all I see
Spirals downward, drowning endlessly

I hold on tightly, I'm so afraid
And to let go would be my last mistake

Close my eyes, deep breaths
Close my eyes, deep breaths

Forever changing the story told, the inner core lost forevermore (forevermore)

Slowing down, I hit the ground to face the fear (that)
The end is near
Close my eyes, reach my demise, nothing left to fear
The end is here
The end is here

Time, time is lost - not mine, the inner changing ride I live
To tell my story lost in time, I'd live again - I'd live again!

Live again!

02. The Falcon's Cry

This uphill climb, will it ever end? Something's going to die!
Kill this old man, my mouth is dry

Sweat like beads of sauder piercing my head
A staff in my hand, I'll hike through the night
I'll hike, and I'll hike, hike, something's going to die!

I'm so cold

I hear something, I'm so cold
I hear something, it's raining

I hear something, if it comes too close
Something's going to die!
I hear something, something's going to die!

At last I can see
At last I can breathe (again)
To touch the sky
At last I can see (again)

I fall down to my knees in awe
Closer to the edge I walk
To touch the sky, I raise my hands
I close my eyes, I'm not afraid

The water runs, the falcon cries
In my ears, take me away
I start to dream, then catch myself
I fall down to my knees in awe

(Edge) At last I can see
To touch the sky
At last I can breathe (again)

(I fall down to my knees...)
I fall down to my knees in awe
(Closer to the edge...)
Closer to the edge I walk
(To touch the sky...)
To touch the sky, I raise my hands
(I close my eyes...)
I close my eyes, I'm not afraid

(The water runs...)
The water runs, the falcon cries
(In my ears...)
In my ears, take me away
(I start to dream...)
I start to dream, then catch myself
(I fall down to my knees...)
I fall down to my knees in awe

Take, take me away!
Take, take me away!

(Edge) At last I can see
At last I can see
At last I can breathe (again)

03. Embrace

[instrumental]

04. Specs Of Pictures Burnt Beyond

The pressure, that plagues with desire, my fears alive inside

Bow down to me (Bow down to me), weak and in envy (weak and in envy), all eyes on me (all eyes on me), dark yet adoring

My memory has faded and torn, just specs of pictures burnt beyond

Rage dies in me (Rage dies in me), fades to apathy (fades to apathy), your muted screams (your muted screams), building endlessly

I have not wasted life, I have not died
You gave me all my life, now you take it all back

So many words of fire, so many lies

The pressure, that plagues with desire, my fate lies in limbo

Pushing me down (I'm falling), pushing me down (I'm falling)
Pounding me down (I'm dying), pounding me down (I'm dying)

I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying, dying...

I need to find the words, the light
You are the one to bring down the sun that fades away

I am not your slave, let me live, understand I am a man

Breaking down these walls of life

(The last spoken words have died..I need to find the words, the light..
I'm tearing down these walls of life, to escape this deadly desire)

(..Just specs of pictures burnt beyond....)

05. Zero Hour

[instrumental]

06. I Am Here

Life has changed me, reality, the driving force

To stare it in the eye so deep, impossible for human eyes

The barrier the mind creates, seems unbreakable inside your head
The pain the heart sustains, is there an end? Is there an end?

Is there an end?

Time races faster, I can't catch my breath, so I push aside the negative

To grab a hold of reality, I will never give in
No, I will never give in
Life has changed me
For the real man is alive, I am alive

Free me, I am not to be held down
All this life I have to give, please allow
My God, please help me now, I need a sign
To carry on, I need You, I need You

Now the tide rolls ever gently to the shore
And the moon draws ever closer to my soul
As I stare closely to the sky
Peace finds a home

My heart has grown so strong
For this battle I have won
I will never give in, I will not fail, no
For life is life, and I am here

07. Evidence Of The Unseen

"Intellect without the affections can create a monster"

I'll give the moon and the stars to my sons
And the earth and the sea to my bride

You are..
Hope
You are..
Light
You are..
Free
You are the breath in me

You are..
Light

The great nexus is intimate, the infections, you are safe

I'll gather the east and the western winds and harness them
And I'll throw every mountain into the sea

We are..
The light
We are..
The illumined ones
We are..
Free
To bask in the sovereignty, and live, and live, in what we see

Resist in what's inside my son
Cross over not that my heart is leading me

Pushed by last, but what is there?
Pushed by light, pushed by my fear
Pushed..Pushed.. Pushed..
Pushed..Pushed..
Pushed by last, but what is lurking?

It's raining on my soul!

Can your heart do what you love, just try

Listen to me, make a choice
Believing gives you the power to move

You are given a voice, look into your eyes
For the power inside awaits
You will have the strength of a thousand horses
Your ability to breathe
Is the evidence of the unseen

Say the words that part the sky
And the stars will be your compass to eternity
There is no barrier to withstand the love that drives
Hands will rebuild the new reality within

You are the evidence of the unseen
