1. PASSION OF MY HEART

I have never been content
With ordinary life
The city bores my mind
It drains the essence from my life

Stagnation of my soul
Spirit is next to go
I'll fight to make a change
Or waste away in my defeat

I'll wake up
I'll stand up

The power that I hold
Opens a door for me
My father's countenance
Will pave the way for victory

Passion of my heart
Leads me to the choices that I will make
Passion of my heart
Blinds me to the chains that would hold me back

The ones who have control
Have never looked beyond
Their own conceited lies
They fear the ones who speak the truth

All of their cautious lives
They've never dared to dream
To live beyond the walls
The walls that keep them safe and warm

I will not disappear
I will raise up my voice
This way of life we lead
Will never be the same again


2. LOCKSTEP

I stand here speaking
You sit there smiling
"So nice to have someone
So young become involved."
"I understand", you say,
"You want to change the world
But you have to understand
There are reasons we are this way"

Marching lockstep to the cadence we all know
Blindly passing by the suffering of our own kind
Hypnotized by words that make us feel secure
Trusting in an institution that has lost the way

I sit here listening
To speeches long and short
Trying to understand
You completely miss the point
The time to act is now
Our city is in decay
Open the doors to all
A brand new world will form


3. PERFECT PLAN

I have given my life in service to your plan
I have given everything to make you understand
I compromised even when I was ashamed
I didn't know I'd have to
Give up everything

I don't care about your
I don't understand
I am not a part of your perfect plan
I am not a pawn to play the parts that you assign
I am not a part of your perfect plan

Politics is always a game of give and take
But you don't have to live with choices that you make
Your words reveal the motivations in your heart
You have gotten used to
Serving your own needs

I can not change a mind made up
I need to find someone like me


4. SATURN'S REIGN

What I have always dreamed
Has now been given me
An outright bribe for silence
But yet I can't decline

I can't deny my passion
It burns within my soul
Reclaim my own destiny
To reach out and beyond

Dreams and visions soared
When Saturn ruled the skies
Nation's pride restored
When Saturn ruled the skies
All the wrongs made right
When Saturn ruled the skies
A new age arrived
When Saturn ruled the skies

Hidden in my heart so long
A secret never told
Except to my own father
He knows me all to well

I watch the world arise
From a thousand miles away
The night is cold and lonely
I long to feel the sun

I must restrain my fear
And chart the course ahead
Let go of all my anger
The time is drawing near


5. TO BE CONTENT

I tried so hard to sleep last night
But rest eluded me
So many problems on my mind

If I knew what I know now
I might not have begun
I don't know how to turn back now

In this life I lead
Even when all things are right
There's always something else
My soul will reach out for - I can't understand
Why I'm not glad to be content

The image of your face
Sent from miles away
Haunts me everyday

I want to know the things you see
How different your life must be
Things will never be the same again

My spirit longs to be set free
Why is there always more to need
Why did I go and change everything
Why do I see my life in your eyes
Why can't I be glad to be content


6. THE WAY OD DEATH

Welcome to my living hell
I hope you will enjoy your stay
People here are oh so nice
Just don't ask them to pay a price

Everyone has their own will
Will is changing even still

I try to pull together
They try to pull apart
I try to hold the meaning
They want to throw it all away

People starving in the streets while
Food and water waste away
Population wants to increase
People want to stay the same

Someday this will all be gone
Anarchy will only grow
Even when they know another way
The way of death is the path they take


7. DECISIONS

Potential connection
A chance to make things right
Alliance, defiance
A hope for things to change

United beside me
We could be unstoppable
The city confines me
Your people can set me free

I dream of a place where
Visions breathe and thoughts are so free
I feel like I am so confined (so much confusion)
Nothing changes (nothing stays the same)
Can I live with myself
If I don't take this chance?

A question, a problem
Decision, a chance to live
I need to believe you
It's hard to comprehend

I hope for survival
It's what we all strive for
To leave home and join you
It all seems impossible


8. END GAME

Your back's against the wall this time and
I can see the fear in your eyes
You never thought I'd go this far
There's nothing left for you to say

All your words and all your smiles
Don't add up to much right now
You must finally make choice
Reveal yourself or back away

Hear what I say
Your world falls apart
All the wrongs made right
Opposition falls away

Everything is clear
End is coming near
Play your final part
Truth reveals just what you are

Idols that you once held dear will
Not survive the coming fire
All your faith in man made things
Won't save you from a grave defeat

Calculated power plays
False debate and backroom deals
What weapons have you left to use?
Politics are no use now

Change descending
Hatred rising
One more card you have not shown

Truth revealed now
No use hiding
Killing not beneath you now


9. REFRACTIONS

(Instrumental)


10. ANSWERS

The sun arises in the east
It's been there every single day
The energy is there for all
But I've never seen it's light
But the light has taught me how to see
The way of life is different now for me

I cry out
For this to end
Is there more to life than this?

Know the answers, know the cause
Cause affects the answers that we seek
One day I hope to understand
How these things in life all relate
Is there only one true answer
Or do we choose the ones we like?
So many visions of what's real
I hope someday I will see one

The city built upon this land
Will rise and fall in it's own time
Forces work that we don't understand
Events unfold by unseen plan
A house divided will not stand
Strong winds will send it crashing down
Foundation built upon the sand
The waves will wash it all away
