Cassandra Syndrome : Dissent into Heresy
Lyrics
1. SOMA
There's nothing to see here
No one to blame
No crime was committed
Let things stay the same
Ignore the shadow on the wall
The chalk lines on the street
If we want to have our peace
You must be discreet
A brave new world
Drowning in the rain
A brave new world
Hiding from the pain
Just tune in and turn off
Doubts in your mind
They'll tell you the truth
Perceived by the blind
So face the light and sound on screen
The glitter finds its mark
And if you hear the siren song
You will not see the dark
A brave new world
Drowning in the rain
A brave new world
Hiding from the pain
A brave new world
Drowning in the rain
A brave new world
Hiding from the pain
In this brave new world
Obedience makes you free
A brave new world
Where submission is the key
A brave new world
If you can swallow all the lies
A brave new world
If you cover up your eyes
A brave new world
Drowning in the rain
A brave new world
That feeds on silent pain
2. PHOENIX
That alabaster mask you wear
Anger hiding in your stare
Burning you from deep inside
Fire where the dark things hide
So you flee the candlelight
Illumination burning bright
Revealing welts of hate and fear
As you hold your poison dear
Phoenix rise, ashes fall
No one hears your lies at all
Phoenix rise, shadows flee
From your poison I am free
Phoenix rise, burning bright
Dawn to end the darkest night
Twisted branches scrape the sky
Reach for me as I fly by
Rooted deep in earth grown dark
What you harbor left a mark
And those with eyes to see can tell
Your pretty face is but a shell
Till you let your anger go
Nothing good will ever grow
Phoenix rise, ashes fall
No one hears your lies at all
Phoenix rise, shadows flee
From your poison I am free
Phoenix rise, burning bright
Dawn to end the darkest night
Cancer eating at your soul
Once a heart, now a hole
Till you calm the flames within
Envy is your deadly sin
Phoenix rise, ashes fall
No one hears your lies at all
Phoenix rise, shadows flee
From your poison I am free
Phoenix rise, burning bright
Dawn to end the darkest night
3. MIRROR MIRROR
We are shattered mirrors
Fragments of the truth
Bitter bits of broken glass
Begging for some proof
And in this fun house all the mirrors crash into the floor
We don't want to catch the light of liars anymore
Can we have the cure now
The poison runs so deep
And these shards of broken glass
Will cut you in your sleep
Try to tame this glassy garden
Force us to your plan
Just beware of your time there
We'll cut you if we can
And spill your blood on roots grown weak
And hungry for the rain
And these shattered flowers
Will feed upon your pain
Can we have the cure now
The poison runs so deep
And these shards of broken glass
Will cut you in your sleep
Vines grow long
Thorns grow sharp
Glass flowers cut
And leave a mark
Trip and tear
Rip and burn
You poisoned us
Now it's your turn
How I miss the sunlight
How I miss the rain
How I miss the fertile Earth
Come to life again
Overthrow the darkness
That spreads across our land
Cut the poison, make it bleed
Destroy it if you can
Can we have the cure now
The poison runs so deep
And these shards of broken glass
Will cut you in your sleep
Vines grow long
Thorns grow sharp
Glass flowers cut
And leave a mark
Trip and tear
Rip and burn
You poisoned us
Now it's your turn
4. NONE BUT SHADOWS
A thousand, thousand dreams are burning
Troubled sleepers restless turning
Fingers of a poison mist
Wrapping neck and leg and wrist
Insidious and oh, so still
Shadowmen set out to kill
Independent thoughts and dreams
No one hears the muffled screams
In our weakness and our dread
We hide our faces from the dead
In our weakness and our fear
None but shadows will dwell here
None but shadows will dwell here
None but shadows will dwell here
None but shadows will dwell here
None but shadows will dwell here
And falling, falling tumbled down
All our dreams begin to drown
Alexandria is lost
Weeping prophets know the cost
We did not fight, we did not learn
What we lose when our books burn
Wrapped in chains of hate and fear
None but shadows will dwell here
In our weakness and our dread
We hide our faces from the dead
In our weakness and our fear
None but shadows will dwell here
None but shadows will dwell here
None but shadows will dwell here
None but shadows will dwell here
None but shadows will dwell here
Shadow, shadow on the moon
Tells us death is coming soon
Shadow, shadow on the sun
End of all the we've begun
Shadow, shadow in the night
Putting out what's left of light
Shadow, shadow on the moon
Tells us death is coming soon
Shadow, shadow on the sun
End of all the we've begun
Shadow, shadow in the night
Putting out what's left of light
From our weakness and our dread
All our hopes and dreams are dead
From our weakness and our fear
None but shadows now dwell here
None but shadows now dwell here
None but shadows now dwell here
None but shadows now dwell here
None but shadows now dwell here
5. SCREAM
It's that hollow space inside
The ache goes on forever
The grave when inspiration died
The mark when hope was severed
And we fight to find again
A light to tear the shadow
To illuminate the cave
To sweep away the sorrow
To find our own reflection
In the lost hope of tomorrow
So we cover up the misery
We buy and covet pretty things
We paint over our own history
With cars and diamond rings
So we fight to find again
A light to tear the shadow
To illuminate the cave
To sweep away the sorrow
To find our own reflection
In the lost hope of tomorrow
And it's all we can do not to scream
And it's all we can do not to scream
And it's all we can do not to scream
If you wallow in the vapid
If you covet, steal and buy
If you focus on the shallow
If you never see the sky
If you constantly compare
Your possessions to another
If open-mouthed you stare
At the screen that's now your mother
Then perhaps if you are lucky
You'll no longer ache for dreams
And perhaps if you are lucky
You'll forget you need to scream
It's that hollow space inside
The ache goes on forever
And it's all we can do not to scream
And it's all we can do not to scream
And it's all we can do not to scream
