1. AETHER

(Instrumental)


2. SKYDANCER

We're dancing on top of the world
Looking down on places
That cease to exist
We need a reason to turn our backs
Forced to create steel towers of death
We're fearless on the edge of the earth
Giving all these people
A chance to persist
We need a reason to turn our backs
Building a future with so many cracks

Remember where you first called home
Reclaim the life of the skydancer
Restore what you called your own
Return where you run wild and free

Remember where you first called home
You're never gonna see it
Till you're dancing on top of the world
Restore what you called your own
Return where you run wild and free

There's dying in the streets
The hungry cannot eat
The rich fuel the genocide

Every angle
Bound by the concrete jungle
Unconscious
Can we afford to live this way?

Abandoned and forsaken
Is this the path that we've taken?
Abandoned and forsaken
We must arise and awaken

Eeeagh

Remember where you first called home
(Where you first called home)
Restore what you called your own
Return
Remember where you first called home
Reclaim the life of the skydance
Restore what you called your own
Return where you run wild and free

Remember where you first called home
You're never gonna see it
Till you're dancing on top of the world
Restore what you called your own
Return where you run wild and free

Remember where you first called home
You're never gonna see it
Till you're dancing on top of the world
Restore what you called your own
Return
(Return)

We're dancing on top of the world
Looking down on places
That cease to exist
We need a reason to turn our backs
Forced to create steel towers of death
We're fearless on the edge of the earth
Giving all these people
A chance to persist
We need a reason to turn our backs
Building a future with so many cracks


3. BREAKAWAY

Can you see what you've become hiding
Yourself behind a loaded gun?
You will never feel true love living
In the shadow of the sun

The hopeless now lie crawling on their knees,
And who will lead with compassion in their hands?
Break, break away. Break from the past,
Break from everything you know

Take, take away. Take from the dead, they are living proof
Try to breathe the smoke-filled air haunted
By the voices of the dead
You will never win the war or wash
Away the blood that has been shed

The hopeless now lie crawling on their knees,
And who will lead with compassion in their hands?

Break, break away
Break from the past, break from everything you know.
Take, take away
Take from the dead, they are living proof

Break, break away
Break from the past, break from everything you know.
Take, take away
Take from this life–it’s the only fucking truth

To the cowards who sit back and watch
Fathers become a casualty notch
Where are they now the truth is out?
To the Mothers who grieve
And cry while their children fight back and die
where are they now the truth is out?

Break, break away
Break from the past, break from everything you know.
Take, take away
Take from the dead, they are living proof

Break, break away
Break from the past, break from everything you know.
Take, take away
Take from this life–it’s the only fucking truth


4. BADLANDS

Walking through the badlands
I watch the tyrants scar the red sands
Their greed is like morphine
Drilling into the veins with machines
The purest for of evil that I've ever seen

Who are you to destroy this ancient land?
How dare you disrespect what you don't understand
We will rise up
We will take it back
You are called out
This is where we make our stand

We're tearing down the walls
We are the outlaws, we are the outlaws
Your kingdom was built to fall
And now we're coming for you all

Riding through the canyons
I am the outlaw left abandoned
Fingerprints of future lives
Footprints of homes left behind
Self-destruction is the greatest failure of mankind

Who are you to destroy this ancient land
How dare you disrespect what you don't understand
We will rise up, we will take it back
You are called out
We will make our stand

Don't let this world go
We'll never make it on our own
Don't let this world go
The only home we've ever known

We're tearing down the walls
We are the outlaws, we are the outlaws
Your kingdom was built to fall
And now we're coming for you all

So here we stand back to back at crossroads
Our guns drawn now
It's time to reap what you've sowed
Bronze, silver and gold
Now lead is all that you're owed
With your last ten steps
You'll suffer six feet below


5. INSOMNIA

I've been kept awake, for what feels like a thousand days.
Twilight keeps me here suspended,
Frozen still as time intended.
The path that binds must be, what is defining me.
So sing me back to sleep, wrap me in your memory.

I can't stop hearing these voices (these voices in my head).
They try to keep me wide awake and I just want to give in .
I can't stop hearing these voices (they never end).
When will they let me fall asleep?
Wake up.

The night is clever, capable of deceiving weather.
Nothing always has a meaning, if everything is always breathing.
The body is my temple, a golden fragile vessel.
So sing me back to sleep, wrap me in your memory.
The floor boards speak, the curtains start to breathe.
Stuck in a lucid dream, wake from this treachery.

I can't stop hearing these voices (these voices in my head).
They try to keep me wide awake and I just want to give in.
I can't stop hearing these voices (they never end).
When will they let me fall asleep?
So let me sleep.

I can't stop hearing these voices
(I can't stop). (I can't stop).
I can't stop hearing these voices (they never end).
It shifts from dark to light as daybreak intervenes.
Another sleepless night, another page to write.
My mind lost in between.


6. OBLIVION

(Instrumental)


7. WILDFIRE

She was ready to leave home
Her journey planned out for so long
And in a moment it was all taken away

It tears at her skin
It pulls out her hair
It seems sometimes life just isn't fair

I know, I know nothing is forever
When you go, when you go what will you treasure?
These days are passing by like clouds in the summer sky
Hold close what you love in life

Like whispers of winter
She faced the last of her days
Why doesn't fortune ever favor the brave?

Tears stream down her face
Like pouring rain
We saw her bloom like a wildflower

I know, I know nothing is forever
When you go, when you go what will you treasure?
These days are passing by like clouds in the summer sky
Hold close what you love in life

These are words you'll never read
And I'm a voice you'll never hear

I know you fly free
And you haven't left me
You're always with me
Relieving all the pain
You shed away your shell but not in vain
Love is the only answer
With joy and laughter, forever after
I miss you wildflower


8. COTTONMOUTH

Everyday they commit crimes of dishonesty.
Make no mistake we will set it straight.
Medication diagnosed but not defined, their antidotes render us blind.

Cold-blooded lies (made from millions).
Strike from behind (backed by corporate billions).
Where the weak have died you watch as the strong survive.
Dead-alive (you're feeling paralyzed).
(Killionaire)

You're feeling paralyzed bitten by a cottonmouth.

Year by year they inject chems of toxicity, at our expense, how does it make sense? Strangulation as they inject the frail, prescription for a coffin nail.

Cold-blooded lies (made from millions).
Strike from behind (backed by corporate billions).
Venom now takes hold.
Pharmaceutic evil.
Broken vows, bitten by a cottonmouth.

Your life is under attack
A helpless victim of the viper in back
How could this happen to you?
A choking body quickly turning so blue
Your life is under attack
A helpless victim of the viper in back
You've been falsely led to your deathbed.
Butchered, betrayed and left for dead.

Overdosing a nation.
Force-fed lies that give us hope.
This is the fucking end.
They don't deserve to live.
They will rest in pieces.
This is the fucking end.


9. ERASE (FT. BEN MARVIN & J HURLEY)

Open up your eyes because it's a long way down.
Wake up and turn this hatred around.
Racial insanity, trafficking of slaves.
These crimes you will take to your graves.
Your souls are like one another;
Your veins are similar in colour.
This land wasn't yours to keep,
So listen now and hear me speak:

The stars look down and witness.
Erase the spreading sickness.

You can't see it with your eyes because they are rolling back.
You're about to have a heart attack.
Human depravity, suffering and torture.
Co-existence maimed at the slaughter.
Your souls are like one another;
Your veins are similar in colour.
This land wasn't yours to keep.
Wake up fools from your ignorant sleep.

The stars look down and witness.
Erase the spreading sickness.
You're so far gone that you can't see
Your place in hell is guaranteed.

I stand tall, feet firmly planted on the solid ground.
Separation now leaves you to sink and slowly drown.
Unmarked graves for those who have disgraced our name.
Devastate? Eradicate?
The human race is the same in every way.

I stand tall, feet firmly planted on the solid ground.
Separation now leaves you to sink and slowly drown.

Separation will never advance us.
Discriminate, you will never rebuild trust.
We're born the same over time. Your open mind changed.
We're all brothers,
So you need to look upon others in the same light.
Just 'cause you're white doesn't mean you can excuse this ignorant fight.
And the same if you're black no racist attack is justified.
Supremacy, just a lie.

Does it matter about the colour of skin?
Stop wasting your time.You're fighting a fight that you won't win.
Diminish this ignorance and get a grip. Settle in.
You're controlled by the hype, abusive and threatening
Towards another brother that wants to be here and fit in.
Grown up around mixed-race kids, we see no difference,
So why discriminate him? Hatred based on appearance.
You need to erase this spreading sickness.

The stars look down and witness.
Erase the spreading sickness.
You're so far gone that you can't see
Your place in hell is guaranteed.


10. INTREPID (FT. MARCUS BRIDGE)

What is this feeling that awakens the soul-removing, constricing our need for control?
I don't know if I am alive in this horror.
I watch the chaos unfold in the eye of the storm.
I swim with snakes and I spiral through form.
In the end of the living, in the home of the dead,
There is a world where the brave only dare to tread.
Thrown into cold the fear sets, the sun burns black.
Terror begins, there's no turning back.
Can you feel it seizing your spine?
Can you see it slowly turning you blind?
When will you seek and see the marvels around you?
Don't let yourself be the one in the way.
Realise that you're alive.
Surrender.
I watch the chaos unfold in the eye of the storm.
I swim with snakes and I spiral through form.
In the end of the living, in the home of the dead,
There is a world where the brave only dare to tread.
This nightmare continues chasing your breath.
There's warfare within you embracing your death.
Can you feel it seizing your spine?
Can you see it slowly turning you blind?
Turning you blind.
I emerge attempting to define the indefinable.
Attempting to describe the indescribable.
Through hurricanes, only one thing remains
I can hear singing on the air tonight.
Close your eyes.
Don't be afraid.
I'll be there to keep you safe.
Close your eyes, don't be afraid.
I'll be here to keep you safe.


11. FATHER

Skydancers, the air that surrounds us
Is the same air that kill us
We breathe through our lungs
This air spatter, leaves through the trees
Man did not leave the world with life
He is merely astrand in it
Whatever he does to the web
He does to himself
