1. A CALL TO ARMS (ACT I)

For my fallen stars,
Bannermen ready for your call to arms.
And for my broken hearts,
It's time to take back what we thought we'd lost.

For my fallen stars,
Bannermen ready for your call to arms.
And for my broken hearts,
It's time to take back what we thought we'd lost.

This is the resistance!
It's a call to arms,
The anthem for all those who don't belong.
We're here to take our stand.

This is the resistance!
It's been far too long,
That we've put all our faith in to the corrupt.

It's time to start the end!


2. INITIATION

Welcome new recruits to your evaluation and initiation course
This system is designed to test your survival and critical thinking skills
in Aeon City
Please adjust the volume and do not move
Welcome to the Resistance

I've been a victim
I've been a coward hiding underneath my pain
I've been immobilized and watched the system
Destroy everything I loved
We cannot take this, we must resist this

Who will you follow when the world fades to the grey?
Where can I turn when the world gives up on me?

I keep waiting in the dark for someone to come and save me
And I've been holding on to something I can never change
We all search for higher ground
When the world comes crashing down, but I know
Nobody will come in to the dark and save me

With iron claws and casted hearts
I feel my fear just fall apart
I'm melted down to clear my past
Then forged from fire so that I may ask:
Who will you follow when the world fades to the grey?
Where can I turn when the world gives up on me?

I keep waiting in the dark for someone to come and save me
And I've been holding on to something I can never change
We all search for higher ground
When the world comes crashing down, but I know
Nobody will come in to the dark and save me

All new recruits, we have been surrounded by scarecrows
This is not a drill, I repeat this is not a drill
Runaway status is active
To all new recruits starting immediately
System failure

Look what they've done to us
Look what they've done to us
Look what they've done to us

I've grown so sick of hiding, It's time we reclaim what's ours
They try to say what we'll become and rearrange the stars
I know I'm sick and fucking tired of this mess they've made
So let their arrows block the sun, we will fight under the shade
Welcome to the Resistance

I keep waiting in the dark for someone to come and save me
And I've been holding on to something I can never change
We all search for higher ground
When the world comes crashing down, but I know
Nobody will come in to the dark and save me

I keep waiting in the dark for someone to come and save me
And I've been holding on to something I can never change
We all search for higher ground
When the world comes crashing down, but I know
Nobody will come in to the dark and save me

Who will you follow when the world fades to the grey?
(When the world fades to the grey?)
Where can I turn when the world gives up on me?
(When the world gives up on me?)


3. MILLENNIA

Hey there shadow
Didn't seem to care at all when you watched me go
I know young love is just a dream
We were only seventeen
But you're the only love I've known

So please just let me go if you're done
Cause it's hope that kills this heart
So please set me free, kill the spark

I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia
Looking for nothing short of a miracle
I only ever wanted to come home
Please won't you let me go?
When I have nowhere left I can run away
Will you lie to me, tell me I'll be okay
Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb
Then pull the trigger and send me home

So how did I get so far from my yesterday
Another broken heart
Now just a memory
I should've left you in the dark
I should've left this awful town and never found another love

So why do I not know about the things that you regret
When love went down and over and done
Get away from me and leave my heart under the rug

I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia
Looking for nothing short of a miracle
I only ever wanted to come home
Please won't you let me go?
When I have nowhere left I can run away
Will you lie to me, tell me I'll be okay
Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb
Then pull the trigger and send me home

So send me home

I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia
Looking for nothing short of a miracle
I only ever wanted to come home
Please wont you let me go?
When I have nowhere left I can run away
Will you lie to me, tell me I'll be okay
Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb
Then pull the trigger and send me...


4. MACHINES

We hold onto the lies to feel free
So shackled by smiles, so empty
We're scared of the war so we've forgotten who we are
We've traded in hope for safety
We're raised the smoke
Insisting that we're all too tired for light the fire and shake the earth

But if all we are is just machines
Let's become a miracle and break free from these chains
We must be more than just machines
So let them hear our hearts
So let them hear our hearts
So let them hear our hearts
So let them hear our hearts

Where will you run
When there's no place left for you to hide?
When you're faced with the flood
Will you stand for the future and swallow your pride?
Where will you run? Will you run?

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one
Who dares to dream
I scream at the top of my lungs
I hope that I'm proven wrong

But if all we are is just machines
Let's become a miracle and break free from these chains
We must be more than just machines
So let them hear our hearts
So let them hear our hearts

Where will you run
When there's no place left for you to hide?
When you're faced with the flood
Will you stand for the future and swallow your pride?

Where will you run
When there's no place left for you to hide?
When you're faced with the flood
Will you stand for the future and swallow your pride?

If all we are is just machines
Then we must be the cogs inside the wheels of change
We must be more than just machines
We can't afford to hide, we must embrace the pain

If all we are is just machines
Then we must be the cogs inside the wheels of change
We must be more than just machines
We can't afford to hide, we must embrace the pain

Where will you run
When there's no place left for you to hide?
When you're faced with the flood
Will you stand for the future and swallow your pride?


5. THE WOLVES OF PARIS (ACT II)

When the days are the shortest, and leaves have all died
When life becomes scarce, and all is covered in ice
There lived a pack of wolves against every odd
That grew hungry and tired and needed to hunt
They'd sneak in to the towns in the dead of the night
And seek fire for comfort and warmth in the light
And though they weren't evil, and knew it was wrong
They couldn't escape..
The lust for the blood


6. MNSTR

I am the ghost in the shadows
I am the fear of the dark
I am the murderer of apathy
An angel that's fallen

I am the psycho the sinner
I am what you can't escape
I am the splinter underneath your skin
I am a monster

With a bang
I feel my heart start to seperate
The enemy within
Can no longer be contained

I'm running from myself
There's something inside of me
And it's ripping a hole through my...chest

I spit the fire from my lungs
The creature I buried
Is now the beast that I've become
We pretend that we can be someone else
But heaven's judgements nothing when
You're already in hell

So take these broken wings
They'll just slow me down
(I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same)
And take my fragile heart
They'll just tear it out

(This is the end of broken me
They call me to the lights)

I am the ghost in the shadows
I am the fear of the dark
I am the murderer of apathy
The angel that's fallen

I am the psycho the sinner
I am what you can't escape
I am the splinter underneath your skin
I am a monster

I feel so god damn tired
And I can't escape the things I've lost
The cycle repeats and repeats
And I can't turn the fucking power off

I hate the things that I'm not
And I'm sick of how this has to end
I tried to reason with you
But now all of you are fucking dead

I am a living dead
I am a living dead
I walk though hell alone
And none of you can save me now

So take these broken wings
They'll just slow me down
(I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same)
And take my fragile heart
They'll just tear it out
(This is the end of broken me)

They call me to the lights
Their voices just like thunder
They call me to the lights
But I'm already gone, what have I done?

I am the ghost in the shadows
I am the fear of the dark
I am the murderer of apathy
An angel that's fallen

I am the psycho the sinner
I am what you can't escape
I am the splinter underneath your skin
I am a monster


7. SECOND THOUGHTS

I hear the static drawing nearer
There's no way out
I breathe the ice and let the fire die
They keep on feeding me the chemicals I need to breathe
But how can something so important not belong to me?
I can't pretend like I'm the one who was gonna change this
but all I know is that our
Time is running out
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much
further left we could go

So how much longer must I wait
To fill this emptiness
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love
for me to find on brighter paths

And out of the dust I see the light creep in
And I know it won't be long
But I'm still terrified, cuz at least in the dark
no one else can see who you really are
So bring me the sound of your guns and blame me for all of your wrongs
It seems hate is all I have left
Yeah it's all I have left, it's the only thing that's left in me
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much
farther left we could go

So how much longer must I wait
To fill this emptiness
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me
to find on brighter paths

So when you feel like you're falling under
Holding on to the things you thought you loved
Will you let all the things you've run from
Chew you up and spit you out?
This all ends now
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much
farther left we could go

So how much longer must I wait
To fill this emptiness
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me to find
on brighter paths
Don't be scared to see the lights go out.


8. MANIACAL ME

When color starts to fade everything you see is tainted grey
As hope drains from your veins
Fear will slowly takes its place
Feel the charge rush down your spine
Every hair stands on end, in shock of your own mind
Lost in the sound of the pounding hearts
The wires have shorted, the circuits gone dark
All it takes is a spark

The masquerade
Is lit ablaze surrounding me as fear consumes my soul
There's a maniac within taking hold of me again
No place left for me to hide behind the eyes of a maniac
I'm a fucking maniac

Scarlet drapes my eyes the phantom calls from deep inside
Revealing my disguise the freak beneath has come alive
Suffering is all I'm wanting
You've been chosen for my haunting

The masquerade
Is lit ablaze surrounding me
As fear consumes my soul
There's a maniac within taking hold of me again
No place left for me to hide behind the eyes of a maniac
I'm a maniac

I am the bane of your existence
Feeble are all your attempts at resistance
Stealing your sanity, watching you rot
Jut lying in wait, ready or not
Here I come
You stare in the mirror and the evil you see is the menace within you
that you have set free
Unleashing the beast brings the freedom you seek
but there's no escaping maniacal me.


9. SATELLITES (ACT III)

Am I too desperate?
Too caught up in all the noise?
Do I mean nothing?
Another angry voice?

Did I even have a choice?
Did I only make things worse?
Am I just another angry voice?

But then I hear their hearts sing
Ayy ayy oh ayy oh

But then I hear their hearts sing
Ayy ayy oh ayy oh

Will you remember me after the lights go out?
Will you remember me after the sun goes down?

Will you remember me after the lights go out?
Will you remember me after the sun goes down?

And when I'm worried can I
Look up to the satellites and hear
Them call your name? Then I'll know
I can't be the only star in the world that's trying to burn

So look up to the satellites and hear them call your name
They're singing
Ayy ayy oh ayy oh ayy oh ayy oh ayy ayy oh ayy ohaohh
And I'll know that I'm never alone


10. RISE OF THE RUNAWAYS

On trial for our fates, we are the runaways
Out of place with mistakes we never made
Because all we are to anyone is just a runaway
So fate found a day to take it all away
Cut down and encased inside a cage
Because all we are to anyone..is just a runaway

Well if the water's so deep then why are all of you still standing?
And if the sinner's asleep then how can I rattle his cage?
I'm so sick of these dark days chasing me further underground
But I'll find my way to light and you'll find your own demise

We were not born the enemy and we will not stop for anything
So try to tell me all the things that I've done wrong
This fire will burn until we fall

Well how am I supposed to feel like everything will be okay
When you try to suffocate what little is left of me
So fuck off, you've dug your grave and I will be just fine
Cause I'll find my way to light, it's always been here inside

We were not born the enemy
And we will not stop for anything
So try to tell me all the things that I've done wrong
This fire will burn until we fall
So try to live with the things that you've done
And try to take all the things that I've loved
You won't break me, I will rise above
This fire will burn until we fall

Run, run, running, I keep running, I keep on running away

On trial for our fates, we are the runaways
Out of place with mistakes we never made
Because all we are to anyone is just a runaway
So fate found a day to take it all away
Cut down and encased inside a cage
Because all we are is just a runaway

We were not born the enemy
And we will not stop for anything
So try to tell me all the things that I've done wrong
This fire will burn until we fall
So try to live with the things that you've done
And try to take all the things that I've loved
You won't break me, I will rise above
This fire will burn until we fall

Run, run, running, I keep running, I keep on running away
Run, run, running, I keep running, I keep on running away
I keep on running away, I keep on running


11. BLOODLINE

Rise

You took a part of me
I've wasted all this time just giving up
The revolution's starting
Why don't you try and stop it
We've lost control of our minds
You think we're giving in?
It's time to prove yourself
So let the battle begin

We're not the same kids you used to know
So you wanna play this dangerous game?
Well we're ready to go

So at the end of the world
Let's let em hear us say

We are we are we are- the creatures that you've hunted
We are we are we are- the ghosts of hope you've killed
Stand up stand up stand up- we're taking back tomorrow
Become become become- become the cog and crown

You think you're done with me?
Like you can light the match and not get burned?
We are the kids you love to hate
The ones that never learned to be part of the system
We were born to tear shit inside out
So sharpen your teeth
Ready your guns
The revolution starts now

We've already died if we give in to everything they ask
So become more tonight
We are your bloodline

We've already died if we give in to everything they ask
So become more tonight
We are your bloodline, unleash hell

This is your bloodline, bloodline
We are your, we are your lifeline, lifeline
This is your bloodline, bloodline
We are your, we are your lifeline, lifeline
So let them hear us say

We are we are- the creatures that you've hunted
We are we are- the ghosts of hope you've killed
Stand up stand up stand up- we're taking back tomorrow
Become become become- become the cog and crown

We are we are- the creatures that you've hunted
We are we are- the ghosts of hope you've killed
Stand up stand up stand up- we're taking back tomorrow
Become become become- become the cog and..

Become the cog and crown.


12. THE PHOENIX REBORN

Trademark the Revolution
Swallow your sin and bury your soul
This is your retribution
The end of all that you know

We come as we are
We are what you're not
We come as we are
We are what you're not
So let the fire rise

Run, you can't escape me
I am the air that fills your lungs
Fall, you are the disease
But I'm immune to all you've done

Take back what's ours
Take back
We're taking back this world

So say your goodbyes
We're at an all out war
The world won't survive
But I'll choose how I die tonight
So say you're alive one last time
And let the fire rise

Rise rise rise rise
Wipe the ashes from your eyes and
Rise rise rise rise
Every end is a start's disguise

We're holding on to tomorrow
The day our flag will ascend
We are the voice of the hollow
We are the start of your end

So say your goodbyes
We're at an all out war
The world won't survive
But I'll choose how I die tonight
So say you're alive one last time
And let the fire rise

Rise rise rise rise
Cause we'll choose how we die tonight


13. JOHNNY'S REBELLION

I start to levitate
I feel the air beneath my wings
I hear my pulse
I taste the air I breathe
I touch the ground
I see the end
And I feel whole again
I hear the echoes of a world I left behind
I taste the victory I thought I'd never find
I touch the ground
But it's slipping away from me
And now I can't see it, I can't see anything
Somebody out there, please help me, ahhh

(*Knock knock knock knock knock knock*)
Oh Johnny! Hahahahaha
Wake the fuck up
It's your big day
Wouldn't want to keep all those angry souls waiting, now would you?

This is the story of Johnny's group
of misfits, taking on the devil himself
Welcome to hell

I can't believe it was a dream
I walked the surface
Breathed the air
Then found myself back underneath
It must've been a sign
It's time to take back what was mine
I am alive

So it's time that I bid you farewell
I'll sign my release with your blood
You can't keep me trapped in this hell
I won't ever call this my tomb
The place where your soul's sent to die
Is the place where my purpose was found
I'm taking control of my life
And I'm raising an army from hell
And I'm burning this place to the ground

First I'll take the things he loves!
(Make him feel defeated, make him feel defeated)
Then I'll take his fucking heart!
(Make him watch you eat it, make him watch you eat it)
I can't remain here
I'm taking control
So string him out
And bare his bones
I'm taking back my soul

You think you can run
You think you can hide
No! I'm done hiding
I challenge you to fight me
To the death

So it's time that I bid you farewell
I'll sign my release with your blood
You can't keep me trapped in this hell
I won't ever call this my tomb
The place where your soul's sent to die
Is the place where my purpose was found
I'm taking control of my life
And I'm raising an army from hell
And I'm burning this place to the ground

So it seems it's my time
Fate has brought me to now
With armies aligned
We brace for the sound of
Ten thousand souls fighting for air
The chance to live again
So ready your guns
Prepare for the end
Cause the last thing that you'll hear is
"Off with his head!"

With the force of ten thousand guns
I destroy everything you built
Corner you with nowhere to run
Then I'll tear your black heart
Straight out of your chest

I took his crown of fire
And I crushed him in my hands
I came, I saw, and I conquered

So did you miss me?
Well, here's my farewell
I'm crazier than I ever fucking was
I'm king of the dead and the damned
I thought that this day'd never come
Why should you sinners be saved?
You wouldn't be free without me
I'm your leader, your savior, your king
And I don't think I'm ready to leave

So gather ye demons
It seems it's your day
I sin but I've paid more than ten thousand graves
And though we're the damned
We're so far from alone
We'll bury the hatchet inside of their skulls

I can feel air inside my lungs again
(Don't ever trust the devil, bitch)
And I know that my destiny
(See the way your blood spills on the ground)
(Was just a part of satellites)
All because of you
You!
