1. THE CALM, THE STORM

(Instrumental)


2. COLD WATER CASKET

The air is thick,
We're breathing failure just like oxygen.
Bled out, confused,
Weaving webs of lies to stay alive.

If we could just slow down,
Ceasing footprints and follies,
Catch up with ourselves before we catch ourselves crawling.

We are our own executioners,
Pleading mercy with no reply.
The mirror our judge and jury,
Holding axes and shackles with heartless eyes.

What have I done ?
What have I become ?
What have I done ?
What have I become ?

It seems we're on our own holding the gavel, not the key.
The flood is rising, I know we won't survive if we don't let go.

What have I done ?
What have I become ?
Who am I ?
Who am I ?

I feel the waves wash over me.
I'm overcome, collapsed.
My ship, rock bound, helpless to the raging seas.

A miracle and nothing less could save me from this fate.
Overboard, the water casket greets with open arms.
Overboard, the water casket greets with open arms.
Gravity preventing escape.

Plunging deeper, darker, arm outstretched
Screaming "Save Me !"
No reply.
Plunging deeper, darker, arm outstretched
Screaming "Save Me !"
Screaming "Save Me !"

The ocean drinks my tears, hope is fading with consciousness .
My nightmares snatch the breath from me,
And push all hope just out of reach.
The tides will claim my life,
My pleas for help dashed in the strife.
My nightmares snatch the breath from me,
And push all hope just out of reach.


3. A CRUSADE FOR THE BROKEN

So scream from the top of your lungs, everything will… be alright.
Just keep telling the lies and avoid making eyes,
They’ll believe, keep your cover.

She smiles (and says that everything is fine),
But we both know, you’re not coming,
Not coming home tonight.

Hope is dust in the wind,
But you paint on that smile.
Don’t look broken- or jaded,
Sink into denial.

Dreams shatter, can’t pick up the pieces.
Too far gone, I guess this is goodbye.

First we burn the bridges,
Gabriel, we’re never going home.
Trade our names for freedom,
Goodbye to all we know.

There’s no turning back now,
Back’s up against the wall.
No time it's now or never,
Stand your ground or fall.

Somebody save me from myself,
I’m lost in a body count,
Lying among the fallen.
(But don’t call me forgotten)

Somebody save me from myself,
I’m lost in a body count,
Lying among the fallen.
(But don’t call me forgotten)

I find myself mesmerized by the fire in your eyes,
Crumbling this city to its burning knees,
Lighting our way back home.

Don’t run now, never look back, this is our last chance make it count.
We’re bleeding but not broken.
We’ll take our hearts and fight this battle,
Screaming.
You can’t deny it, this will end to night, we will make it.
History, and when its over, we’ll all be chanting :

First we burn the bridges,
Gabriel, we’re never going home.
Trade our names for freedom,
Goodbye to all we know.

There’s no turning back now,
Back’s up against the wall.
No time it's now or never,
Stand your ground or fall.

Don’t run now, never look back, this is our last chance make it count.
We’re bleeding, but not broken.
We’ll take our hearts and fight this battle,
Screaming.
Don’t shake, it’ll all be over soon.

Go.
Your darkest hour is only 60 minutes long.
We'll make it out alive, I swear.
Stand don't you falter,
60 minutes long.
Your darkest hour is only
60 minutes.


4. FORGOTTEN

This isn’t worth the price I paid.
The shattered promises collide.
With words and whispers, broken.

This time,
The skeptics called the outcome.
I’m breaking in and out, from all the pressure,
Pulling me in all directions.
I find no shelter in the glance of my reflection.
I find no shelter in the glance of my reflection.

Harder I come crashing down.
I’m all on my my own, left to the tides of silence.
The harder I come crashing down.

This can’t be,
I can’t breathe,
Can’t choke past the grip that’s upon me.
Forgive me,
I can’t see,
Through the blood and tears, crawling.

I’m face down,
Lost and found,
Removed from the grasp of the unsound.
From your lies I am free, time will heal my wounds.
I am coming for you.

It’s over,
The clock has just struck midnight.
Say your goodbyes, goodbyes.

Try you did,
To rip the beat from my chest.
With your failure, I’m blessed.

So with our hearts and heads held high,
White knuckles, pounding fists,
We'll break the silence where the darkness begins.

This can’t be,
I can’t breathe,
Can’t choke past the grip that’s upon me.
Forgive me,
I can’t see,
Through the blood and tears, crawling.

I’m face down,
Lost and found,
Removed from the grasp of the unsound.
From your lies I am free, time will heal my wounds.

I am coming for you.

These chains cannot break or bind us,
Just another distraction.
This struggle can't separate us or blind us,
From the hope that we've captured.

(We're not alone, we're not alone, not alone*)
(Rescued from what lurks in the shadows)
These chains cannot break or bind us,
Just another distraction.
This struggle can't separate us or blind us,
(We're not alone, we're not alone, not alone*)
From the hope that we've captured.
Hold onto hope, for it will bring us home.


5. FOUND IN FALLING

My world’s caving in, I’m stuck here again… a prisoner.
Held hostage in my own skin.
The tears running down as I drown in the questions.
No answers tonight, no answers tonight.

Suffocation !
Suffocation !
These four walls are closing in fast, there’s no chance of escape.
This time’s for real, can’t pause or slow down,
I’ve been avoiding hitting bottom until now.
This time’s for real, can’t pause or slow down,
I’ve been avoiding hitting bottom until now.

Truth’s dying stare takes her place in my eyes,
Haunting memories filling my mind.
Desperation’s cold jagged fingers find strength in my hands.
I’m down on my knees, down on my knees.

Get up !
This is not a drill, pick yourself up, shake it off, wipe the tears,
Let’s take control of this nightmare.

This is for every piece of every broken heart.
For empty promises, for every unanswered scream.
This is for being forsaken and left to your fate… but you are not alone.
Let’s burn this city to the ground.

Let’s show them what we’re made of.
We’re not hiding anymore.
This time we’ll take the stand and scream our hearts,
And lungs to pieces.
Before we fall for nothing,
We’ll take this stand for something.

This is our last chance.
So come on, before it's too late.
Here we go !

You’ve gone to far to turn back now,
Rebuild these shattered walls somehow.
Take it back.
Take it back.
