They stayed sometime, thought they'd never go
Bound us to the land and bled us 'till we're bone-dry
The undertaker never stalled at all
They know now - they know now
A change in their final idyllic show
People we had loved beginning to be soulless
The undertaker wouldn't halt at all
They know now - they know now

Chains on gates into Babylon
Fear salvation leads to hell
People that stand in different corners
They know now - they know now
Heightened stations that our chieftains never saw
Based emotions added
They know now - they know now
Chains on gates into Babylon
Take your vengeance out on hell
People that stand in different corners
They know now - they know now

All the time whilst it was safe to measure
Clearly wasn't our choice then to stay
If I'd known better, I'd have stopped to get away

Storm clouds
The unstable skies of winter
from the scorching haze in August
to the blazing silent splinter of a moment's madness

From the borders of town, meadows enclosed,
and the second it started, I lost hope
in emotion aroused from the mother of faith
But I'd rather be something that's real
Covered leather 'n bound, and the children were saved
That's how it started, all the blame:
with the lessons and time that were taken each day
But I don't understand it, even now

Keep us for the moment, out of sight
Keep us from the moment
Keep us in the moment
Light of day leading us
Nothing we have broken dies away

Cheated, stalled Armageddon
Evasive - evasive
Beaten, fallen down
Get them down beneath us - beneath us
Open gates into Babylon
Elated - elated
Order might be before too long
Embracing - embracing

Visualizing the mind of the tyrant
Close my eyes, I see everyone
You don't need to partake to believe it
As I listen to the final announcement
Seems you don't understand what they have done
Are you really controlling the action?
If only people understood what they were reading,
Though I can see it's making them strong
But all power comes from shifts of allegiance

I tell you the reason: fruit will naturally fall
I tell you the reason: growth still follows law
Given that reason, we're falling
Whatever you believe in, you can't change at all,
but changes come around, around, around

I will rest here in your arms for a lesser evil
Whilst we're nestling in the calm, they will not commit you
Just barely holding on

All that's been, we have never managed to make out
through the records that were written at the time of
Like, give another taste, control, camera in the phone booth
Day or night, we're forever open
Live in a manor, and I've taken note for
Fine Caucasian holds minimal life and love, and leave me
Don't lie
Everybody's got their own opinion of you
People never repeat: they won't tell you
All they're feeling is the God emotion

The great people fly high
Greatness also flies by

This is the call of a nation
This is a war that we're heading for
This is the call of a nation
This is the fall of America

You don't even know
You finally let them tempt you
Only let it show as they're leading you away,
and no one has to know
Fear of innocents
While they're playing our games,
you're heading out with:
Leader - federation
Bullshit - vindication
Blinded - all I'm saying
Everything we stood for still wasn't better
Bleeder - deviation
Faker - blind omission
Movements undertaken
All I've ever known, we are no better

This was a call
This was a call you could not ignore
This was a call
This was a call to unite us all
This was a call
This was a call we were waiting for
This was a call
This was a call for America

All time heals now
Oh, let us have peace
Here I'll lie chained overnight
How can we hide?
Here I'm...I'm a traitor
I am a king of another world

This was the fall of America
This was her fall
[x4]

When I return, I'll be a soldier
I'm simply living in this army holding
There's nothing to fear, except the war I hear
and civilians in their combat clothing
But there is no answer when you ask where it's all leading
There must be something we can say or do
Who can belong inside an army town
when we're all fighting to get out of here?

When I return and I'm much older,
I...I often wonder, will the...the war be over?
And how will I feel that I was sent to kill
with decisions I have no control of?
There is no answer when you ask where it's all leading
There must be something we can say or do
Who can belong inside an army town
when we're all fighting to get out of here?
Out of here

When I return and it's all over,
I...I hope you'll carry me upon your shoulder
and walk up the hill beneath the cannon,
and lay my body down with...with my companions
There is no answer when you ask where it's all leading
There must be something we can say or do
Who can belong inside an army town
when we're all fighting to get out of here?
Out of here

Endless lessons
Every day's the same, in life as another,
and it seems sometimes
it's everything that I love to hate
Garrison home now, peace at our place
Killing's the natural phase
Garrison home now, peace at our place
Genocide is in play

Going down now, peace and rest you'll know
Going down now, better prepare the soul
Going down now, peace and rest you'll know
Going down now, evil to face the cull
Going down now, peace and rest you'll know
Going down now, eager to end you all
Going down

Endless lessons
Everyone's gone insane, in life as another,
and it seems sometimes
it's everything that I love to hate
Garrison home now, peace at our place
Killing's the natural phase
Garrison home now, peace at our place
Genocide is in play

Kids don't like me 'cause I'll beat them
Men despise me, I defeat
Kids don't like me 'cause I'll beat them
Dream of murder - murder - murder

Going down now, peace and rest you'll know
Going down now, better prepare the soul
Going down now, peace and rest you'll know
Going down now, evil to face the cull
Going down now, peace and rest you'll know
Going down now, eager to end it all
Going down

Going to die with a bullet in me,
'cause I believe there's something to see in a world
No, when the light's out, let me go - go - go
Going to honor this man that's me,
but I believe there's nothing to see, though I don't know
When the light's out, let me go - go - go
[x2]
From make believe to heresy
Why can't they all let it be?

Going to die with a bullet in me,
'cause I believe there's something to see in a world
No, when the light's out, let me go - go - go
Going to honor this man that's me,
but I believe there's nothing to see, though I don't know
When the light's out, let me go - go - go
[x2]
Reality to victory
Why won't they just let it be?

A cause and a foe
aborted their transmission with intention to violate
Defeat together
Release another round until you can find no trace
We're hearing bullet after bullet
My mind is going blank as the enemy moves to face
Teach a lesson
Call it intervention tearing apart this place
Armageddon
Turned it into Armageddon, was that your intention?
Keep together, release another round
The mission is now in place
Bleed together, raise them to the ground
Destroying the human race
Alive with intention, fueled by our aggression
In the end, we annihilate

All that I haven't told them
beats around the cell
Let me underline the road that I will run
What it is to know heaven
In everybody's soul lies their fear,
and for your reasons
that were sacred unto others' lives
who listen as I die
Doesn't everybody heed emotions they can't see?
Battered through time untold
They're battered through time untold

Hold on, don't tear down
Our loss from living grows
Hidden away, here lies the cause of all your pain
[x2]

Pity some soul won't teach them
Bitter are the kind of mindless sons
There's nothing I can say or can do wrong
Now there's nothing I can say I've never done
If bitter's an emotion, that's no better
than to say pity for the soul who'd blind them

Hold on, don't tear down
Our loss from living grows
[x2]
The mindless son
There's nothing I can say or can do wrong
Now there's nothing I can say I haven't done
If bitter's an emotion, that's no better
than to say pity on their souls
I'd blind them all!

Getting to know what I feel
I don't feel the same
Getting to dream all the time and to bottle blame
Getting to know what I feel inside
Getting to feel what I want to hide
Getting to know what I can't deny:
I've changed in hell's name!

Getting to know what you feel
You don't feel the same
Getting to dream of a time and ignore the shame
Oh, looking for changes
Oh, in hidden places

Does what I know and what I see die with you and me?
Does what I know and what we see die with you?
Does it die with you and me?
Does what I know and all you see die with you and me?
Does what I know and all we see die with you?
Does it die with you and me?

Needed some time, but time couldn't tackle it all
Needed something, but things have revealed so much more
Though fears are often wrong,
keep emotional turmoil, feel utterly torn
Yet no one believes it goes on
All I needed was time to wake up and to face
Put feelings back where they belonged
Can't be living with fault and taking the blame
when I don't believe that it's wrong

Ah, let me explain
Can you not see how the loss of living grieves me?
Do you not see how our loss from living grows?
Can you not see how the loss of living grieves me?
Do you not see how our loss from living grows?

Expressing his thoughts from the positive side
Claiming he can't turn away
Leaving the social inept in the corner to fight
demons that say they're to blame
Listening...

Does what I know and what I see die with you and me?
Does what I know and what we see die with you?
Does it die with you and me?
Does what I know and all you see die with you and me?
Does what I know and all we see die with you?
Does it die with you and me?
So what I know and what we see dies with you and me
So what I know and all you see dies with you and me
'Cause all we've known and all we've seen dies with you
'Cause what I know and all you've seen dies with
It dies with you, not me

All those stars and all their meaning
All the times we lost our way
Will you lie in my arms
'till the world forgets where we are?
Then we'll rise to start a newer day
All that trial and all those answers
All our lives and all that rain
Will you lie in my arms
'till the world forgets who we are?
Then we'll rise to start a newer day
With the warmth of your side
lets me know the reason why
We will rise to start a newer day

I was taken out of the sane
to a place that led me to war
Never thought to stop and complain
or to question what it was for

Time is a measure and it simply divides
Facing the moment,
though I don't know how, don't know why
Kind's not of manners, but in thoughts that decide,
and I don't know how, don't know why
All the same
It's a fine leather cover and an ocean of blame
Oh, how can we explain?
Balance of life [x4]

Want to head to mountains to be safe
Cross the borders to bring me back life
From now on, I can't take all the blame
Given out enough of my own time
From the safety of my known hometown, I was taken
They shredded my mind
From now on, I will bear them no grudge
From now on, I am telling no one

If you choose then to go mess with life, she'll mess with you
I need now to determine who can carry through
We look to people who can supply
the things that lead us to a solemn life, the fallen line
I wanted something that we'd choose to become of you
I didn't know I wanted to,
but its strength and power has integrated through

Change sides more than you give
Change sides, everybody seems to want to blame
Grind - how much more can you give them?
Change sides, nothing's too important not to
Change sides more than you give to
Change sides, everybody seems to want the same
Blame, it's more than you fear to
Change sides no one really ever wanted

Here now, we're running our lives
Riding the storm, but staying alive
Split us in two, we have our sight
Holding the dream to be with you
Here now, we're running our lives
Riding the storm, but staying alive
Split us in two, we have our sight
Holding the dream to be with you here now
To be with you here now

"Hush, little baby, don't say a word
We're buying you a mockingbird,
and if that mockingbird don't sing,
Papa gonna buy you a diamond ring"

Hush now and keep growing
The world has no way knowing
All that's in you is honest and true
Tomorrow you'll wake, and I'll be with you
So hush, hush now and keep smiling
The world is always finding laughter for you
to carry you to the morning
You'll wake and I will...I'll be with you
I will...I'll be with you
I'll be there with you

Naively, I had been attracted to the city as a child
It was the heart of community
Unified, healthy, sharp, abbreviated
Opportunities in the city
Greater for the choices of success
and happiness - acceptable - completeness
I moved there as a teenager
and was exposed to subliminal images and emotions
that relied due to accumulation of the rational defined
Expectations everywhere would lead us to the dream
Was this where we were first exposed?

Invaded our faith
Invaded our skin
Invaded from within
Don't you see they're taking us?
The Criminal Nation has led this invasion

Now we're protected
No one except "type A intellectual
unaffected numerically connected" can enter the city
On arrival, shocked by extent, exposure infestation
Denied the truth - shelter - propaganda
And at the gates, the word had changed
So recognize the invasion

Invaded our blood
Invaded with sin
Invaded from within
Don't you see they're taking us?
The Criminal Nation has led this invasion

Taken its hold, ah, yeah
It's taken control, ah, yeah
It's taken its hold, ah, yeah
It's taken control

I saw the sign on the city wall predicting the final day
Then concluding that it had come
to the point I should leave this place
As I left through the gates, I was joined
by a crowd all sensing the same

Now I've led you to this place,
seen your point of view,
dreamt up other faiths we could be too

It's taken control, ah, yeah
It's taken its hold, ah, yeah
It's taken control

All we've seen, we can't change now
Although you feel there were many things unanswered by,
all I see, all I see's invasion

If only I'd tried in life just to let it all lie
No one man decides the fate of the world
If people don't try, then we'll break all together,
and I'd never decide on that course for mankind
And I won't deny all the lies that we're given,
but I'm watching our minds forsaking our souls
And I, and I, only stand for the given
However, nothing survives when the sun finally fades

Nothing can change the fate that we're heading to
(Nothing can change)
No one can take it away
(Nothing can change)
Nothing can change the life that we're going through
(Nothing can change)
No one can take it away
(No one can take that away)
Nothing can change the fate that we're heading to
(Nothing will change)
No one can fade it away
(No one can, no one can, no one can change)
Nothing can change the life that we're going through
(Nothing can change)
No one will take that away

Ah...here, let's just start again (Again - again)
Death is on its way (Its way - its way)
Killers on the run, bodies in a row
Let us start again
Better start from now
Let us start again, and start today

Taken - well, it takes a whole life to get to this place
All eyes raised to the sky on this glorious day
And I hear them wandering
Guide them nearer to home
I hear them wandering
Guide them nearer to home
All I see are mountains battering the lonely skyline
Our lives don't matter as we take this internal flight
Muttering, I hear them wandering
Glide them nearer to town
I hear them wandering
Glide them nearer to town
I told you so, we'd witness this day
while they, while they were stumbling,
holding on to time that's left

Want to steer nose into
Want to try deface this land
Gives me the power to get it all out of place
Been assuming far too long
Here's to this day
All the stars in a bowl is the time to open this show
Gives me the strength to
All that now is in place
All the people known in town are now salvation bound
Aim - all is on now
Aim - salvation bound

Getting close, heading straight in line
Instant change altering the course of time
In our league, dreading what we'd say
Can you see, nothing's the same again?
Innocents that you did not know
I was staying deep in a terror cell,
and I lived in your nation's might,
but you claim no one was keeping sight
Within time, buildings seem so low,
even though buildings would save our souls
Growing streets open up to me
Is there something no one need know?
Is this something no one need know? [x4]

In the final row, aboard a falling plane,
a man looks out into space that he once had known,
but is now replaced with a mighty hole and an army base,
as his thoughts go back to his childhood days
at his family home in the States
With an English tongue and a Christian creed,
he was taught to learn and to believe
that if a man should give up his life for faith,
then he'd exist beyond this place
in the heart of God, to an angel's song
From whence he came, he must belong,
not to this world of deceit and greed
at the devil's hand who God defeats
In this evil world, through this evil land,
only the good survive God's plan
As the plane went down, hands clenched with fear
He was heard to pray, all could hear
Heads were bowed
Was there someone there?
'Cause no one is here
