The time approaches
Fall This is the voice of the voiceless, We have learned by making choices, After persecution and delusion, We have severed this illusion, To build our foundation of natural elements to preserve life We will rise, this Babylon (falls) Fall Chanting inspiration for the righteous dislocation from the social order Kingdoms will rise to power but kingdoms fall to dust Fall, fall, fall The ashes of the dead will be a sign The time approaches (Who will hear your cries fall Babylon) The time approaches Arms raised (raised) Eyes gaze (gaze) Tongues of fire whisper this life (life) will soon (soon) slip away Fall Babylon, your days are numbered The time The time approaches Arms raised (raised) Eyes gaze (gaze) Tongues of fire whisper this life (life) will soon (soon) slip away Fall Babylon, you will fall Your days are numbered The time approaches Who will hear your cries as you fall Fall, fall, fall 02.

Fixation On The Darkness
Fixation on the darkness
That engulfs this world Drain the life force of our people Change Change Fixation on the darkness That engulfs this world Drain the life force of our people Return to the womb (new life) Lay your head to rest (mercy) To give you a piece of mind Lay your head to rest Come together inside This body is only a shell Change The only way we will survive Light Transfiguration of the soul Of the soul Of the mind Fixation on the darkness That engulfs this world Drain the life force of our people Return to the womb (new life) Lay your head to rest (mercy) To give you a piece of mind Lay your head to rest Tell them They will not hold us down It's time for change Change It's time for change Change It's time for change They will not hold us down They will not hold us down It's time for change It's time for change 04.

(This is my last serenade)
This revelation is the death of ignorance tangled in a state of suffocation slave to self righteousness damnation is on your lips from sorrow to serenity, the truth is absolution from sorrow to serenity, it's on your head this is my last serenade I feel you as you fall away this is my last serenade from yourself you can't run away it's your choice, point the finger but it's on your head your destination is a choice within yourself will you rise or become a slave to self righteousness open up your heart and gaze within from sorrow to serenity, the truth is absolution from sorrow to serenity, it's on your head this is my last serenade I feel you as you fall away this is my last serenade from yourself you can't run away (This is my last serenade) 05. Life To Lifeless
Humanity cover me with the ashes of remembrance
I will learn from this pain there is no darkness without light to teach us of ourselves Humanity cover me with the ashes of remembrance I will learn from this pain life to lifeless to eternity, life to lifeless the cycle repeats death unfolds itself painfully to unmask how fragile we are death unfolds itself painfully, teacher of sanity the pain drags me down I'll rebuild me the pain drags me down I'll rebuild me Humanity cover me with the ashes of remembrance I will learn from this pain life to lifeless to eternity, life to lifeless the cycle repeats life to lifeless to eternity, life to lifeless the cycle repeats life to lifeless to eternity, life to lifeless the cycle repeats 06. Just Barely Breathing
Descend into hysteria
Chaos of mankind but who is listening to the voice of hatred Tortured souls lost so completely lost Weakened in the concept of decline, deception Descend into hysteria Chaos of mankind but who is listening to the voice of hatred Tortured souls lost so completely lost Weakened in the concept of decline, deception Are we alive or just breathing Don't close your eyes, see the images Are we alive or just breathing Don't close your eyes, see the images The sky weeps tonight, our bodies washed away I am waiting for you, deliverance The sun falls through the clouds Hear my cry Are we alive or just breathing Don't close your eyes, see the images Are we alive or just breathing Don't close your eyes, see the images The sky weeps tonight, our bodies washed away I am waiting for you, deliverance The sun falls through the clouds Hear my cry I am waiting for you, for you 07. To The Sons Of Man
You son of man I am here as a witness
you son of man can't you see what burns inside me this fire will consume as the flames purify with the peace that passes understanding this is my outcry from dust to dust we will return the flesh is temporary the soul is eternal I am here as a witness can't you see this fire purifies this fire (this fire) will consume (will consume) as the flames (as the flames) purify (purify) son of man can't you see son of man you can't save yourself 08.

The Element Of One
Breathe me in
Breathe me in Torn disbelieving separation I close my eyes to see you this is for you, everything I am this is for you, take it from me torn disbelieving separation I close my eyes but there is no escaping you this is for you, everything I am this is for you, take it from me In your arms, in your soul There will be, rejuvenation Breathe me in, I'm forever deep within, I'm eternal I will return to you I am with you always And I will never turn away Breathe me in, I'm forever deep within, I'm eternal 10. Vide Infra Music by Killswitch Engage Lyrics by Master_o_Puppets
I have opened my eyes to see the world that surrounds me daily
I refuse to be led by the majority can't compromise I and I to pass judgement judgement will be passed upon you I have opened my eyes to see the world that surrounds me daily I refuse to be led by the majority can't compromise I and I to pass judgement judgement will be passed upon you I will stand up for who I am (never moved) never moved by condemnation no one is placed higher than another no matter race or creed or gender we must teach forgiveness and compassion for all life through understanding of our differences we will find respect for one another because we are all flesh and blood no one is placed higher than another no matter race or creed or gender we must teach forgiveness and compassion for all life I'm not afraid to speak my mind no matter the consequences stay true to yourself through the humble eyes of a child we will realize true equality they can not take me from me they can not take you from you they can not take I from I they can not take I from I they can not take me from me they can not take you from you they can not take I from I 11. Rise Inside
Rise inside, free your mind
raise your fist! To signify! We stand in defiance, of hatred, and deception if I stand alone! I'll fight for you! Time has come to, make a difference why have we forsaken love Time has come to, raise our voices to rise up, and fight with me! Embrace! What we have! It might be, the last time! In this life, we will rise, if we find the strength to unify. Rise inside! Free your mind! Raise your fist! To signify! We stand in defiance, of hatred, and deception if I stand alone, I'll fight for you! Time has come to, make a difference, why have we forsaken love? Time has come to, raise our voices to rise up, and fight with me! Embrace! What we have! It might be, the last time! In this life, we will rise, if we find the strength to unify. Hatred! Is a weakness! You! Become! The victim! And I believe love! Will overcome! Time has come to, make a difference why have we forsaken, one another? Time has come to, raise our voices to rise up, and fight with me. Time has come to, raise our voices to rise up, and fight with me. Time has come, Time has come. The time has come! To! Rise! Inside! Rise! Inside! Get up!! 15. When The Balance Is Broken
Take comfort in these words
You are not alone, there is a purpose Through the loneliness, depression This is not in vain Through the tribulation, find redemption This is not in vain The frustration we've endured The struggle continues Don't let them drag you down Keep your eyes wide open Don't let them drag you down Keep your focus unbroken Take refuge in these words There comes a day for retribution Through the loneliness, depression This is not in vain Through the tribulation, find redemption This is not in vain Don't let them drag you down Keep your eyes wide open Don't let them drag you down Keep your focus unbroken All will be revealed When the balance is broken |
