[Verse 1]
We hold the answers to the questions you would never ask
But you refuse and make excuses for your misery
If you're finished with the mocking and the battlecries
Then kindly take your leave and exit stage right
[Pre-Chorus]
Only within this single frame
Will you start to entertain me
Once you reject your shadowed fame
I can't guarantee your safety
[Chorus]
Will you find the sense to push beyond your stolen former glory?
And create a name that starts and ends right here
To push back the darkness with a voice that crushes all who enter
And cancel out the voice that begs you to sleep it off
[Verse 2]
We hold you captive to relentless shows of violent rage
Excessive force, a public shame, your tortured pain on full display
The masses watch us dig the grave that you've been buried in
But you're the one who shut the lid and drove the nails in
[Bridge]
Can you let your former self go?
Can you face your demons and run?
[Chorus]
Will you find the sense to push beyond your stolen former glory?
And create a name that starts and ends right here
To push back the darkness with a voice that crushes all who enter
And cancel out the voice that begs you to sleep it off

[Verse 1]
Truth hangs my hope
Exceeds the sun anew
I'm waking to the presence that's sewn
In myself
When does the peace
Become which is the strife
I'm drowning from the fullness
Of View
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw my mother through an ocean of hate
Carrying a secret of undying escape
Can we ever be certain or know
If we could sever the seed from the soil
[Chorus]
A whisper of fate
In the loom of the shadow
Pricking the fingers
Of those weaving plans within plans
[Verse 2]
Truth wrests my head
Scatters fear anew
I'm waking to the presence that's sewn
In myself
When does the pain
Lessen from the knife
I'm drowning from the fullness
Of View
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw a people through an ocean of hate
Carrying a secret of undying escape
Can we ever be certain or know
If we could sever the seed from the soil
[Chorus]
A whisper of faith
In the loom of the shadow
Pricking the fingers
Of those weaving plans within plans
[Bridge]
Watching, shaken
(Drowning here, these lines surround me here)
Never time to shape these omens
Naked, broken
Never to reclaim once open
I can't reclaim myself
Watching, shaken
(Drowning here, these lines surround me here)
Never time to shape these omens
Naked, broken
Never to reclaim once open
I can't reclaim myself

Heart Of The Battle

[Verse 1]
Find a pulse within us
And count the beats per minute
Signs of life are fading
But I'm holding it together
You will come to find
I won't go down without a fight
So to the next in line
Your efforts are in vein
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a heart made of flesh
In a world paved in stone
And this is the game I play
[Chorus]
The streets are my veins
And they carry the cure
For a plague of proprotions
Never known before
When temptation aims to destroy what I value the most
Blood clots the brain
And weakens the knees
But I am willing to bleed
For the arrhythmia to steady
When I'm your last escape
That's the heart of the battle inside
[Verse 2]
I'm pumped up and I'm ready
To circulate the beating
Of an artificial piece
In a counterfeit machine
I'm driven by an urge
A need to give the world
The power that it needs
To live another day
[Chorus]
The streets are my veins
And they carry the cure
For a plague of proprotions
Never known before
When temptation aims to destroy what I value the most
Blood clots the brain
And weakens the knees
But I am willing to bleed
For the arrhythmia to steady
When I'm your last escape
That's the heart of the battle inside

[Verse 1]
Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise
Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies
[Chorus]
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
(Never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
(Never break the chain)
[Verse 2]
Listen to the wind blow, down comes the night
Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies
Break the silence, damn the dark, damn the light
[Chorus]
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
(Never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
(Never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
(Never break the chain)
[Bridge]
Chains keep us together
(Running in the shadows)

[Verse 1]
Light invisible to starbeam
Sickly sweet, the voices whisper
Laid into a nest beneath us
Mouth made bare now caving inward
[Verse 2]
Whom it tolls and carries onward
You my friend in all this mis'ry
Swiftly brush the dirt beneath us
Dreams unfurl the souls between us
[Verse 3]
Hope abundant wash over our feet
Lost regret, a distant demon
Cursed limbs of flesh unwilling
Overflowing soul now spilling out
[Bridge]
I cover my eyes and sleep
(If only you could remember)

The Hunger
06:16

[Intro]
This stolen century, this boundless flight
A feigned creation under false moonlight
[Verse 1]
Flooding my mind, the voices call upon me to invoke
Ancient flames, a sacred violence shrouding me in smoke
Illusions fade, the natural order bending out of phase
Vie for power, fuel the fire that the sword conveys
[Chorus]
Drawn out through the threads of space and time
Hold your breath until the pain subsides
Stone cold from the fear of what we'll lose
But blazing forth with such electric hues
When the hunger comes in full pursuit
Steal the light before the night consumes
These years were a fraction of the time
The void had clouded me and fed me its innocent lies
[Verse 2]
Relics of old are lost to time and not meant to be found
Family and fortune ripped apart and buried underground
Distortions manifest and hours freeze within the rifts
Story and song reveal a penchant for the days we missed
[Pre-Chorus]
I never thought I'd bear
The weight of all the world
Breathing up the air
Of a town where hope's deferred
I'm useless on my own
The stakes are just too high
Together we atone, not just comply
Our hands are tied
[Chorus]
Drawn out through the threads of space and time
Hold your breath until the pain subsides
Stone cold from the fear of what we'll lose
But blazing forth with such electric hues
When the hunger comes in full pursuit
Steal the light before the night consumes
These years were a fraction of the time
The void had clouded me and fed me its innocent lies
[Bridge]
This stolen century, this boundless flight
A feigned creation under false moonlight
The end is near and I can hear the cries
Of desperate people under darkened skies
The mountains crumble and the earth gives way
A cosmic entity will soon invade
The worlds we travel are condemned to die
But with compassion we can set them right
[Chorus]
Drawn out through the threads of space and time
Hold your breath until the pain subsides
Stone cold from the fear of what we'll lose
But blazing forth with such electric hues
When the hunger comes in full pursuit
Steal the light before the night consumes
These years were a fraction of the time
The void had clouded me and fed me its innocent lies

Dust

[Chorus]
And you know I'm right
You'll agree if you search inside
Have a little faith in me
Someday I'm gonna make this right
And the dust of my father's bones
Lies buried in this sand
Along with the peace of mind
That I once had
