Lyrics


1. ONE AND ALL

The disguise, where you find yourself
Replaced with something else
Through the eyes of a lie you see
That for you there's nothing left
A solitary fist in the air
Can leave you with a purpose and a care
A solitary fist in the air
Can leave you with a purpose and a care

Now all the empty disarray
Is replaced with sweet embrace
Pour it out among the broken and ashamed
Now everything that's left to say
Is left to those who pray
To a name that can save you from a grave
We stand one and all

We will fight
'Cause it's side by side
That we will live or we will die
Close your eyes
Breathe it in here, it's time now
We must all decide
I see a million fists in the air
We'll leave behind a world that never cared
I see a million fists in the air
We'll leave behind a world that never cared

Now all the empty disarray
Is replaced with sweet embrace
Pour it out among the broken and ashamed
Now everything that's left to say
Is left to those who pray
To a name that can save you from a grave
We stand one and all

(We are)
Forever!

Now all the empty disarray
Is replaced with sweet embrace
Pour it out among the broken and ashamed
Now everything that's left to say
Is left to those who pray
To a name that can save you from a grave
We stand one and all
(We stand one and all)
We stand one and all


2. FLY

Sky blazing with the remnants of a raging war
Why does the dark chase back the light?
Though overtaken, not God-forsaken in this petty life
These second chances leave second glances
With a big surprise

And they find all the lies
Peeled back revealing life
Blinded eyes opened wide
To see the world for what it is
Discover reason as the end is drawing near
And we will fly, abandon fear

Fighting, I will never die a second time
Finally the few have now prevailed
We have awakened
There's no mistaking the Great Divine
Sevenfold, we will take the gold
Let the demons cry

And they find all the lies
Peeled back revealing life
Blinded eyes opened wide
To see the world for what it is
Discover reason as the end is drawing near
And we will fly, abandon fear

And they find all the lies
Peeled back revealing life
Blinded eyes opened wide
To see the world for what it is
Discover reason as the end is drawing near
And we will fly, abandon fear


3. ESCAPE

Another day
Another chain to break
Another way to tie myself within my words
To calm the ache
To call a name
It's so impossible it seems

I found a way inside
And everybody's here
It's so free all over me as I'm letting go

Now come along and find yourself
You're not so alone, escape your hell

I'm done with fake
I'll never live for me
It's for your sake i'm breathing now
Coming awake
Leaving my old mistakes
Not so impossible it seems

And I found a way inside
And everybody's here
It's so free all over me as I'm letting go

Now come along and find yourself
You're not so alone, escape your hell


4. AFTERGLOW

Our story time is told
And I'm blinded by the afterglow
Can you hear me dear?
I'm thumbing through the pages

The beautifully romantic years
I can hear you, dear ohh..

'Cause right in front of me
You disappear
You're still vanishing
You left me here, but I'm not
All alone, not all alone
'Cause right in front of me
You're still here

Dear daddy don't you miss me?
'Cause in heaven there's no room for tears
I can feel you here
And as I'm thumbing through the pages
Seems forever's just too far away

When we meet again
I'll remember when

Right in front of me
You disappeared
You're still vanishing
You left me here, but i'm not
All alone, not all alone
'Cause right in front of me
You're still here

'Cause right in front of me
You disappeared
You're still vanishing
You left me here, but I'm not
All alone, I'm not all alone
I'm not all alone, I'm not all alone

'Cause right in front of me
You disappeared
You're still vanishing
And I'm still here


5. WORDS OF RED

Into the other side
Lets run away
And make believe,awake to see
The deams that come to life
We'll take our cover
Under words of red
Until the rain recedes
And mysteries have said their goodbyes

Just like the world they will die
So we will say our Goodbyes

We could have it all
Cause gravity's a lie
We will never belong
We'll take the world in time

Don't close your eyes
Our fatal flaws will die
We'll live and breathe and live to
See the day these worlds collide
Can We stray from such a simple plan?
This day its plain to me they will see
We will arise
Not like the world the will die

We'll take the sword
We'll fight the war


6. DOUBLE OR NOTHING

It's us and them
And here we make our stand
We will define the line that saves us from the others
They're coming for
The weak and weary one to fall
So wonderful that our hearts are intertwined

And how do we know
If we are safe from it all
I don't know
Let's make it double or nothing to gain
When out of control
It's your day
Take a hold, let it go
Let's make it double or nothing to gain

Beneath one name
We were the ones to blame
And by design he came to my surprise
Now we're saving the girl
Changing the world 'til our words ignite
Telling the tale of the one made just to die

And how do we know
If we are safe from it all
I don't know
Let's make it double or nothing to gain
When out of control
It's your day
Take a hold, let it go
Let's make it double or nothing to gain

And how do we know
If we are safe from it all
I don't know
Let's make it double or nothing to gain
When out of control
It's your day
Take a hold, let it go
Let's make it double or nothing to gain


7. HOLLOW THEORY

As you stare right through me
And your cares pushed into me, killing
So they're mercin' all these cursed lies
As you stare right through me
And your cares pushed into me, killing
So they're mercin' all these cursed lies

And you're there getting to me
Everywhere your words like thorns they irritate
So they'll first reject these thoughts I find

Holes in your theory
Holes, won't you hear me?

And you're sold in your ignorance
In the soul, I see innocence
And you'll find your life
In the eyes of Christ
In Christ, in Christ

Solitary, simple movements
So contrary, yours will scream to all
Still convince yourself you're not the cause

Holes in your theory
Holes, won't you hear me?

And you're sold in your ignorance
In the soul, I see innocence
And you'll find your life
In the eyes of Christ

Brace or feed the skin
As you want to tame this
Struck you needle thin
And you ignore the change
Practically insane
All this fire that came
Consequence remains

Pick yourself up off the ground!

You're sold in your ignorance
In the soul, I see innocence
And you'll find your life
In the eyes of Christ

Holes in your theory
Holes, won't you hear me?


8. WORD OF ADVICE

Listen to me
Cause I know its over
You'll throw it away
Throw it away and tell me it's okay
When all it is possible I'm making your day
'Cause I've something to say
When falling down
No need to wait
I'll tell you it's alright, it's alright
Walker of waves He'll lead the way
I'll tell you it's alright, it's alright
The free ones bleed
For you to take the key
Replaced to day three
If only you cared
Now the clocks ticking all
Your precious seconds away
As you struggle and strain
When falling down
No need to wait
I'll tell you it's alright, it's alright
Walker of waves He'll lead the way
I'll tell you it's alright, it's alright


9. SOLACE

(Instrumental)


10. CANCER

Indeed
The clever cover costs to much to pay
Could I ever be the same, as it is?
So it's always been for you and I
Unchanging
And if ever you can hear me
Take time, investigate the sounds
'Cause your words are crashing through me
Feel their meaning taking form, am I dreaming?
Where is here?
I awaken to revision
And you will never find another one like this
Another son to take away the sin
He bled it all to save you from the cancer
The cancer
Now say what you will
And I feel the changes slipping far behind
And the world has left me here to die
Tonight I will take my stand
Where is here?
I awaken to revision
And you will never find another one like this
Another son to take away the sin
He bled it all to save you from the cancer
The cancer
The cancer
Whoa-oh
See me crawling back to you
Desperate for change
Receive me crawling back to you
Take my hand would you please
Whoa-oh- oh- oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh -oh -oh-oh-oh
I'm letting go of everything
I see you clearly
And you will never find another one like this
Another son to take away the sin
He bled it all to save you from the cancer
The cancer
The cancer
The cancer


11. THE FALL

Alive
Survived to challenge solitude
Surprise
I'm back to spread a simple truth

And I feel you taking over
Push through the veins up to my brain
It gives
Betrayed the misdirection over me!

And the fall won't be the end
Comin' back to life!
I reach for you again and again and again and again!
And the fall won't be the end
Comin' back to life!
I reach for you again and again and again!

Tonight
We'll sing the anthem of the few
Reside
Within the arms that reach for you

Why let these days grow colder?
Just like the heart you hold in vain
So drenched in rain
From this infectious covered sky!

And the fall won't be the end
Comin' back to life!
Reach for you again and again and again and again!
And the fall won't be the end
Comin' back to life!
Reach for you again and again and again!

So beautiful
You're so beautiful to me
You're so beautiful!

And the fall won't be the end (be the end)
Comin' back to life!
Reach for you again and again and again and again!
And the fall won't be the end (be the end)
Comin' back to life!
Reach for you again and again and again!


12. GOODBYE

And you came with a thrill
I was just a lovely regret
In the back of my mind...
And you came with a thrill
I was just a lovely regret
In the back of my mind...
In the back of my mind...
But you failed
And the killing all the while
I was stealing a place in the back of my mind
In the back of my mind...
(Goodbye...)
You never leave
(Goodbye...)
You will this time
(Goodbye...)
Don't want to cry
The time has come for you to die
To die...
And your hands wrapped around me
Choking the life out of all
That is mine...
Like a poison bursting through the veins of night
I'm never going to waste my life
Take your hand from mine
Hand from mine..
(Goodbye...)
You never leave
(Goodbye...)
You will this time..
(Goodbye...)
Don't want to cry
The time has come for you to die
And now you're finally gone
Right here is where I belong
And now you're finally gone
Right here is where I belong...
(Goodbye...)
You never leave
(Goodbye...)
You will this time...
Don't want to cry
The time has come for you to die
For you to die...
