Lyrics


1. REMOVE THE PULSE

What life have you built for yourself?
What do you know about the heart you've never held?

Rip your heart from your chest.
Does it still beat in your hand?

The heart we feel is led by the state of heart we live in.


2. BREAK OF DAWN

Fallen through hell and back again,
Recollect with full vision.
No rest each night
I am haunted by demons out of sight
Assuring me that there is no way out.

All I have is measured by incapability.
No way out for me if I live free of a remedy.

How is this so hard to shake?
I'm so willing to change.
What can I make of this life if I'm unable to break free.

My outcry for life is swallowed by the night sky.
My outcry for life is swallowed by the night sky.

I'm being hopeful for once
The sunrise I seek is moments from my eyes.
Gazing upon the sky
Longing for the departure of night.

I'm being dragged away
Into endless night
Without putting up a fight.
I owe it to myself to fight the oppression,
Enduring till morning, to stop it from starting.
Will I wallow in my self-defeat and paralyzing deceit?
Will I ever find peace of mind or more demons to come and destroy my life?

Facing my greatest fear,
A fear of dying here.
Dying with no air in my lungs to spare.

Will I live to see the end?
Will I see the sun rise?

I'm being hopeful for once
The sunrise I seek is moments from my eyes
Gazing upon the sky
Longing for the departure of night.

Forever
Looking towards the skyline.
Towards the skyline
Forever
Awaiting the sun to rise.

Waiting for the break of dawn.


3. FURTHER FROM HATE

You've lifted the greatest burden off my life.
Waking up, in company of all I love.

This grace is what I know; it shields me from the cold.
Each one of us has made the other whole.
The sun rests on my shoulder, it guides me on and on.
I once resided on the other side of life and love.
Now peace has hold of me and I see clearer than ever before.
Hopeful for what my life has in store.

My spirit, soul and mind have come alive.
Alive.
Alive inside.
Love, has its grip on me.

Two become one in His full sight.
My insecurity and vulnerability, wiped away.

Each day I face, I am further from hate,
Compassion is at the forefront of my faith.
Waking up in company of all I love.

This grace is what I know; it shields me from the cold.
Each one of us has made the other whole.
Because of You, in this life, I am further from hate.
Overrun by grace.
Further from hate.
Overrun by grace, further from…

I am ways away.
I am further from hate.


4. THE DIVIDE

I'm growing too weak to stand here on my own two feet.

And if I fall, how will I ever find the comfort?
And if I fall, will I ever return to You?

If I let this state of mine decide how I fumble through my life
All the pieces of my broken heart can't build me a way to your blinding sight.
Cannot find me a way to all that is right.

I continue on, I know that I will never return.
Not now, not ever.

All my thoughts have been lost, taken by ghosts that haunt the living.
Did I ever care about anything other than how I appear?
I left who I am on the inside to die, to give the surface a fighting chance,
To paint the picture of who I am.

All this fear I hid inside, you promised to take from me.
Perfect love is all I need to make me strong not weak.
So take this burden from me, leaving me white as snow.
Take this burden from me and make me, make me whole.

All my faults are made strong, much harder to wipe from my conscience.
Reinforced by my own self-destruction.

Pick yourself up off the floor.
Pick yourself up off the floor.

I continue on, I know that I will never return.
Not now, not ever.
This isn't a dream where I just wake up.
I've hit the bottom with no rope to pull me up.

To get me out.
Get me out.
Caught on the other side of the divide.


5. MOUNTAINSIDE

The same searchlights coming to find me,
Coming to save my life,
Are the same ones blinding my eyes, leaving me to die.
Forever lost on this mountainside.

The same searchlights coming to find me,
Coming to save my life,
Are the same ones blinding my eyes, leaving me to die.
Will I ever get off this mountainside?


6. UNHARNESS (FT. MATTIE MONTGOMERY OF FOR TODAY)

How can you lie through your teeth,
And force your ways on all you meet?
I will resist you, and I will stand against your schemes.
I fought, and lost a battle against you before.
But I return twice as strong, with the armor and shield I sought for so long.

I will watch you fall.
Back in the hole from which you came from.
If you try to face me, I will strike you down with the force of an army.
All your hope is lost when you fight for your own cause.
Free of resolve.
I'll have no part of your ways and your wicked heart.

I'll stand between you and all those that I love, with protection from above.

I will stand against you dark and dead
I will fight until by dying breath.
I have no intention of ever letting you crush my defenses.

[Mattie]
With each stride, I'm marching towards the front lines.
Face to face with your kind.
Opposing the ideals of the life I choose to lead.
You're making threats to me.
I'll destroy everything you build up to cut me down.

I will stand against you dark and dead, I will fight until by dying breath.
I have no intention of ever letting you crush my defenses.

My strength and approach is determined by how close I hold You.
When You draw near, I depart from the fear.
When I love as You love, my enemy is left with no ground to stand on.
When You gave Your life for us, a life I'll bear before me.

When I love as You love, the enemy trembles at my feet.
When I love as You love, my spirit is breaking free.
When I love as You love, my life is made complete.
You gave Your life for us so that we can live in peace.


7. METANOIA

What I know is that a life without love is no life at all.
Hope is the key to answering the call.
It's written on your heart.

You find that all your hopes and dreams
Are dead and gone.

You think each person of value
Has left you alone.

You should know
There is no one in this world even worth counting on

Besides, there's a fire burning in your eyes
That you cannot disguise

Even if you tried
Even if you tried

There's a purpose for your life you cannot hide

It's written on your heart in the clearest of white.

Burning bright.

You should know, hope found its way, found its way to me
You too can be changed forever.
It's written on your heart.
You should know, hope found its way, found its way to me
You too can be changed forever.

Will you remain as you are?

I've felt your pain,
I know your pain,
I've felt your pain.
We all make the same mistakes.
We all wear the scars we've won.
I too lived with the same uncertainty.
But hope found me.
Now you know me.
Hope found a home in me.
Now you know me.
Hope found its home.

You should know, hope found its way, found its way to me
You too can be changed forever.
It's written on your heart.
You should know, hope found its way, found its way to me
You too can be changed forever.

Return to the start
With love in your heart
You too can be changed forever.
Return to the start
With love in your heart.


8. STITCHED THE SAME (FT. KYLE TAMOSAITIS OF COLOURS)

These words have shaped me to this day
Directed me to the path I now take.
"You have encouraged me to lead the life I always wanted to lead"
I want to be the inspiration that they need
There is no difference between you and me.

Are we all woven together?
Are we all tied in knots, because I know I'm this way?
Don't you feel the same?

Meet me half way, I'll take the stage you take the clay.
Such a humble exchange, we all find home in this place.

I hope you find what you are looking for.
But if you doubt, don't be ashamed.
Because we're all woven together, and tonight we're stitched the same.

Tonight we're stitched the same
I'm just the same as you, all my struggles and mistakes.
So let's hold each other up, because we know we've been made this way.

Cos we're all woven together
And tonight we're stitched the same.


9. WHITE FLAME

I have overcome
Every wall, every inch of myself
With no hold on the ways of this world
I have conquered my inmost defeat
Now death lays dying before my own two feet
Our path was always meant to meet

Maybe not now but soon you'll see.

This white-hot flame inside of me
Will scorch the earth
And everything that stands in my way.
Overcome!

I am no mortal
As long as this spark is within me
Is within me

As it engulfs me
It changes everything
My soul is on fire for reasons
Made certain by desires found in me

But what choice did I have?
But what choice did I have?

They engraved my back
With this detailed map,
Showing the plan
That I should outlast

I can feel it burning under my flesh
This feeling has averted me to this very second
This moment means everything
I have come to life
Life

As it engulfs me
It changes everything
My soul is on fire for reasons
Made certain by desires found in me

My eyes are burning
My eyes are burning
My eyes are burning
My eyes are burning with desire

Scorch the earth
Scorch the earth

We have overcome
We have overcome
We have overcome

The white flame burns in me


10. AWAKEN THE HEART

I remember the words You said to me
They still ring true as if You said them yesterday
Giving up is never an option
You may find it hard but they have forgotten
The love they have left is never far from them

Though this world has turned cold
I'll let the warmth embrace me
And lead me on my way home
Through these streets I roam, thinking all along

Awaken the heart
We have numbed ourselves to the concept of love
We have forgotten how to truly embrace how to face each day
I have given all of myself to bridge the gap between heaven & hell
All coming in none going out stolen from the grips of the reaper himself
I foresee pointing fingers and accusations aimed at me
Our methods may not be of ease
But we're spreading His love with our arms outreached

Though this world has turned cold
I'll let the warmth embrace me and lead me on my way home
Through these streets I roam, thinking all along
How can they not know?
How can they not know?

There's a void in us all, waiting to be made full.
We have numbed ourselves to the concept of love
We have forgotten what it means to say, "I'm alive and well today"

I know I will never be alone
His loving reach stretches past the farthest place that I can go

I will never be alone
Assured to me by the love He has shown
I will never be the same
My home is found in His embrace

Our goal is reached by showing love and compassion to those we meet
An entire world at peace
Covered by grace and completely set free
Our home is found in His eternal embrace
