1.	Fire Inside 04:25	lyrics	buy track
“Make something happen here,” he whispers in the twilight One way to make it easier No matter how he tries — no answer comes, he cries What kind of creature goes this far? Just dry your eyes Rise with the power and tower above those before you When the world is a weight on you When the monster it breeds comes true Oh, show them you’re truly alive Burn with the fire inside One more ruthless day, another failed experiment She’s climbing, trying to make it out Falling for gates of gold and once again her blood runs cold One light could cast a shade of doubt Just dry your eyes Rise with the power, devour the soul that controls you When the world is a weight on you When the monster it breeds comes true Oh, show them you’re truly alive Burn with the fire When you feel that you’ve lost all sight And the way is a blurred black line Give us a reason to fight Burn with the fire inside
2.	Sapphires and Funeral Pyres 03:51	lyrics	buy track
Bow down, put your knee to the ground, Swear your soul to fire Last chance, whatcha waiting for? You got something to prove Now goddamn, cut the mark in your hand Follow me to glory One day when the prophet’s slain, We can build a wall together Come see the tyrant flee, We have come to claim it all Sapphires and funeral pyres Mark the march of men to war I know what you fear I have felt your pain, your sorrow Know the end is near Know you’ll never be forgotten Arm yourself with rage Rectify this ancient madness Cut them down to size The future is for the brave Peace shall be found, way down When the sands of time run out And glory fades like the setting sun ‘til that final day, one day when the righteous glory fades We hold the line one by one Fly with me, hear them scream Only red will stain this soil All these years and wasted tears It is time men make them crawl
3.	The Butterfly Effect 04:59	lyrics	buy track
One spark to light the fire was all it took One look, one scream, one minute passes by The time has come to raise your eyes I see the end, I see the light It’s dawned on me that maybe that’s ok One more ride before the coming of the storm And again for when you’re begging us for more I feel jaded by the movement of your bodies here It’s a pain as sweet as sound Another faded lifetime through a crystal, crystal clear Another weight before I drown Two times my passion plays out like a shade Again I feel so ashamed Because I’ve seen through deep disguises like an angel from the sky It tells me of a future just for me And maybe I could find another place to play A suicidal silence calling from the grave I feel jaded by the movement of your bodies here It’s a pain as sweet as sound Another faded lifetime through a crystal, crystal clear Another weight before I drown It’s coming, it’s harder now to go and call alone I can feel a movement in a moment A feeling in the flow, oh Last night I felt the fire fade away The blues and greens and blacks they turn to gray The numbing of my sense and thoughts You turn your head without a doubt And finally a peace that shows the way One last time before the coming of the storm And again for the friend and again and again and again I feel jaded by the movement of your bodies here It’s a pain as sweet as sound Another faded lifetime through a crystal, crystal clear Another weight before I drown
4.	Long Way Out 04:15	lyrics	buy track
It’s all just a fable, it’s all in my head Lost to loose conviction The sum that you’ve came for is paid all the same Take my arms, my eyes Suffer the damned Come for the kill and breath the fiction of the sands Rip out your throat and shatter your hands It’s all just a game This I know must be true It don’t mean anything to you Don’t back down, I’ve seen you better Know I have, it’s a lie Know I am, I need you better It’s a crying shame, it’s a long way out Who asks the liar weighed down by chains? One foot in the fire makes it brighter A light that shines to show, this I know You can’t escape This I know I must do I don’t need anything Don’t back down, I’ve seen you better Know I have, it’s a lie Know I am, I need you better It’s a crying shame, it’s a long way out Don’t back down, I’ve seen you better Know I have, it’s a lie Know I am, I need you better It’s a crying shame, it’s a long way out
5.	Heaven's Lens 04:30	lyrics	buy track
Can’t stop the dying I won’t bend to binding shame Gone are wide-eyed dreams of better days Since seconds measured, a virus plays around the sun With God’s last breath he cursed us all Home is where the power’s anchored And momma’s bleeding out And knowing I can never end war There ain’t a better time to leave it all behind Sarah I’ve gone away Leaving all the evidence to you Sarah don’t be afraid I’ve slipped into the silence But with this Heaven’s lens I see you What’s left to try for When sunken minds let barons breathe I’d hope here for someone to score, but I know better Life is like a silver chain, fast lane Heavy metal thunder ‘til you’re under the ground I’ve got to break that bond, go until it’s gone Bought by time, even suns die Save me, deliverer Hurl this defiance beyond the stars Oh the wonders I have learned How fortune burns and time begins to bend And yes your eye is blind but so was mine Look beyond the veil, escape from Gaia’s hand Lift me up above the sun ‘til the day is done Will you testify? Lift me up, a chosen one ‘til the end is done Will you testify? Through you I’m alive Sarah I’ve gone away Leaving all the evidence to you Sarah don’t be afraid I’ve slipped into the silence But with this Heaven’s lens I see you
6.	Sacrifice 04:26	lyrics	buy track
Take a leap, no fear my darling, even stars of rain are falling Come with me So for tonight believe in fairy tales and sacred spells For the ending seems so bleak without them now Could you let me you hear you say the name again Oh please, please, just one more time Position is devotion, as is your state of mind So you better come and find Underneath this pale-lit moon, I believe it’s true The weight of the world dressed on you girl Your savior’s coming soon As you lie there in the dark, keep me in your heart The price you pay is worth the fight Sacrifice is what we need tonight Sacrifice is what we need tonight Drain the cup and sing the chorus, time won’t be waiting for us Let it die You look so marvelous in black, with the pressure on your back It’s killing me all night to see you writhe Would you let me keep your secret heart tonight? I’d keep it safe until that time Position is devotion, as is your state of mind So you better come and find Underneath this pale-lit moon, we believe it’s true The weight of the world dressed on you girl Your nightmare’s ending soon As you lie there in the dark, keep me in your heart The price you pay is worth the fight Sacrifice is what we need tonight Sacrifice is what we need tonight
7.	Dorian Gray 07:10	lyrics	buy track
Life is all I need, let me live completely For life is sin it seems, so with sin an open road A price for vanity, what a gift unsightly A lust for something more, I walk these stones alone It’s the envy of a dream This image is my soul, the portrait it keeps I am your master, your muse, your accuser I am the life that you lose once you choose When your coil has run its course And your soul has found its source You will remember the face of Dorian Gray Come to me and I will set you free upon the slate that we call home Committer, Liar, cut the tether to the (ones you’ve loved and…) I will make you feel, I will help you bleed, give name to your mistake Feel it now, and know somehow you could escape the end (or the vengeance of a friend) Tragedy smiles, with the face of a child. One by one, they fall to sleep. But over time, my portrait it fades The bonds that I once broke have become my cage I am your master, your muse, your accuser I am the life that you lose once you choose When your coil has run its course And your soul has found its source You will remember the face of Dorian Gray
8.	Dominion 04:16	lyrics	buy track
Look upon your kingdom and watch them bleed For their God, for their temple See your gold dominion A wasted greed For you a prize, for them a creed You must forgo the comfort of the throne You’re power mad and retribution, a swift solution To cut the head from the snake You’re turning prose into lies Selling bread to the first in line, save the end for another dime You’ll elevate the masses just to burn it all to ashes And hang a pawn for a scene Oh, your mothers and fathers share your daughters and sons for a war never won You’re the sworn defender, great pretender, no surrender As long as the king don’t have to bleed You must forgo the comfort of the throne You’re power mad and retribution, a swift solution To cut the head from the snake Hear your people calling Their song, a scream For your crown, for your temple Give us revolution, give us peace Become what you’ve seen, what you were born to be You must forgo the comfort of the throne You’re power mad and retribution, a swift solution To cut the head from the snake
9.	Your Curse 03:50	lyrics	buy track
Cause I feel that it’s been dead for a long, long time You got something on your back weighing you down It’s been such a long time, we’ve got to get it going on I know it, get going One more time One last time As I bet you knew it too And maybe it was wrong And maybe it’s all gone And maybe you’ll wait And maybe you will never get again what I could give you And maybe I won And baby I’m done this time I’m done, your curse has been undone You see that finally I’m getting away You’re a stone cold choke hold, a demon in disguise A waste of flesh for a crawling parasite I’m relieved by the burning inside you, The sinking feeling knowing no one will save you Stay a husk from dawn to dusk because you’re no prize And maybe it was wrong And maybe it’s all gone And maybe you’ll wait And maybe you will never get again what I could give you And maybe I won And baby I’m done this time
10.	Lost Soul Torn 06:54	lyrics	buy track
It’s not for lack of trying, but the reaper’s got me now Oh what a day for dying I just want to get back to the breath that you’re supplying Babe I’m feeling the thought of one day’s got me reeling What I wouldn’t give for one more day with you Just let me get there, please just let this be your nightmare One slip and I am losing light now, no respite I’m out of time As I get closer to the surface The more I move, I feel the waters pull dragging me down Sinking down to the river’s bottom The mighty undercurrent pulling me, yeah pulling me As I think my breath is gone, I will not sink, my will is strong I’ll spend that day with you One last fire then I’m sure, I will get my grand adventure I’ll make it to your side Hear my words I would’ve stood with you against the world Hear my breath My cries are silenced by the gentle waves To be honest with myself I don’t want to be alone For this bliss is nothing short of sublimation With peace of mind I’ll go As I get closer to the surface The more I move, I feel the waters pull dragging me down Sinking down to the river’s bottom The mighty undercurrent pulling me, yeah pulling me Oh I’m not the lost soul torn Come back to me, back to me I’m not the lost soul torn I’m not the lost soul torn Come back to me
