Lyrics


1. BROKEN BONES7

We are the fallen kings once sensible
With every moment a chance to resolve
We are the fallen kings now responsible
Building an empire on broken bones

I learned to swallow my pride
And only then could I stomach the truth
I stare with blindfolded eyes at the divide
A room of hypocrites the one percent
Dispute and refute the solution
Stiff necked looking above, for answers below

I’m ashamed the game became so addictive
Floating further away

Empty vessels float in an empty space
Searching for answers
With no direction how can we expect to change

I stare in disbelief when ordered to ignore it
This holy masquerade it cares for no one
Praying for pardon, blind sinners
Begging to be a martyr
Their broken necks looking above, for answers below

I’m ashamed the game became so addictive
Floating further away

I walk against the grain
I’ve only so much strength until I break
Until I break
Can we stay afloat, can we stay afloat?

Empty vessels float in an empty space
Searching for answers
With no direction how can we expect to change
Can we be the warmth in a world so cold
Can we look beyond all the glitter and gold?
We're building an empire on broken bones


2. KARMA

Remember the vow we made
Was meant to last forever
Was it worth it to break the trust
Was it worth the weight of our love, we’ve now lost
I will never crawl into a cave
Or view the world as a dark cold place
I hear the shadows calling my name
I’m counting my days from within this cage
What a time to be alive

There’s an avalanche crashing down
And no ones here to save me
The ground shakes beneath my feet
It's what they built to exploit the weak
Woah, woah, woah, no this is not the end
Woah, woah, woah, this is not the end

I doubt you could even see
That you're the one who’s breaking me
You can run but you can’t hide
Karmas coming to make things right

Your true colours have come out now
Karma's coming for you
You’ve become a narcissist
Self centered egotistic stitch
What a time to feel alive

There’s an avalanche crashing down
And no ones here to save me
The ground cracks shakes beneath my feet
It's what they built to exploit the weak
Woah, woah, woah, this is not the end
Woah, woah, woah, this is not the end

Blinded by your false lights
I've seen beneath the surface
Is it about life or death?
Or will I be a number in the end
Karma's on its way
Karma's on its way

There's an avalanche crashing down no ones here to save me
The ground shakes beneath my feet It's not the time to breakdown

There’s an avalanche crashing down
No ones here to save me
The ground shakes beneath my feet
It's what they built to exploit the weak
Woah, woah, woah, no this is not the end
Woah, woah, woah, this is not the end


3. RESIST, RESONATE

I know the feeling the feeling of
Being told you're going nowhere
It's like a knife straight to the back
The blood starts to spill

Resonate

You feel controlled, you feel alone
You hear the whisperers doubt you
It's like all small minds are masterminds
Their grey disguise in plain sight

We stand among you
Further from the minds falling beneath the lines
We stand among you
Awake and realise the colours within your eyes

Are you alive? Are you living
Or just waiting in the wings
Hoping for the clouds to break
So light can shine on you

You must stay afloat in your darkest hour
I know the feeling to feel like you're sinking
There's no easy way in a world so grey
But I see the colours inside you

Resist, resonate

We stand among you
Further from the minds falling beneath the lines
We stand among you
Awake and realise the colours within your eyes

We stand in the shadows
Clouded minds falling between the lines
We stand in the shadows
Realise the colours within your eyes

March to the beat of your own drum

Pull yourself up breathe in and take control
Resist, resonate

We stand among you
Further from the minds falling beneath the lines
We stand among you
Awake and realise the colours within your eyes

We stand in the shadows
Clouded minds falling between the lines
We stand in the shadows
Realise the colours within your eyes

4. DISCONNECTED

The clock is ticking but time is lost
Nine to five in a digital box
Infected minds, corroded strings
Our free thought is gone when we're told what to think

We are falling apart, drifting away from each other
We are fed fallacies from infancy
We are jaded, disconnected
We've been injected indoctrinated

Can we all live in peace
Above and beyond all beliefs
Cause we're so disconnected
We're so disconnected

We've been hypnotized
In this rat race we’re confused
Enslaved we can’t always obey
Question what's wrong with humanity
Religion separates us, politics divide, wealth classifies

We're jaded, disconnected
We've been injected indoctrinated

Can we all live in peace
Above and beyond all beliefs
Cause we're so disconnected
We're so disconnected

We are automatons
We are automatons
We are automatons
We are jaded

We are jaded, don’t just follow
Wipe the slate clean
We've been indoctrinated, disconnected
Wipe the slate clean

Can we all live in peace
Above and beyond all beliefs

6. NO TIME

Our time is now
No time to waste it
No time to waste it

Our hope is burning from our hearts
Project what’s closest to your soul
Daydream, to only build castles in the air
Awake, in a world of takers you can find direction

We can't keep waiting
No time for wasting

Now our time is here
No time for wasting
Has god heard our prayers?
No time for waiting
Legacies await
No time for wasting
Now our time is here
No time to waste it

Insane to repeat the same expecting a change
Vacate the blind leading the blind chasing immortality
Wake up, make waves, justify you’re not a waste of space
One chance, one life, one change could be the answer

We can't keep waiting
No time for wasting

Now our time is here
No time for wasting
Has god heard our prayers?
No time for waiting
Legacies await
No time for wasting
Now our time is here
No time to waste it

We can't keep waiting
No time to waste it

Our flame is burning, our legacy awaits
Our time is coming, smile from the grave

No time to waste it
Smile from the grave

Now our time is here
No time for wasting
Has god heard our prayers?
No time for waiting
Legacies await
No time for wasting
Now our time is here
No time to waste it


7. HAUNTED

Help me i'm down and defeated
Caught in a web of lies
Falling to my own demise
Broken and shamed
Elude this gravity

There's more to life than drowning in dread
Detached from reality
I will erase the doubt and pull myself out?
Suffocating within
I can breathe now

No longer haunted anymore
Free from tragedy
My life’s coming back to me

Fortune favours the brave now
My life can turn around
False hope, fills my heart with anguish
I'll paint the truth in my head, stroke by stroke

Constantly checking my back to pull out your knife
Tucked in a shell from the fear
The mental fatigue making me bleed
Suffocating within, but I can breathe now

No longer haunted anymore
Free from tragedy
My Pride's coming back to me


8. NEVER FORGET

Disguised as Gods
Wide eyed with narrow vision
Once walked among us
Now power tripping
I’m sick of their tricks
When they once stood beside us
I’d rather stand alone
Before i’ll bow to you

A billion galaxies surround this apathy
Stars burn bright but their time is finite

The higher you climb the harder you fall
Never forget where you came from
The higher you climb the harder you fall
Never forget where you came from

It's sad to see their eyes filled with arrogance
It hurts to hear their violent voices rot the earth
True Kings are humble enact as equals
Lets live with gratitude
We’ll cut out the bitter tongues

A billion galaxies surround this apathy
Stars burn bright but Their time is finite

The higher you climb the harder you fall
Never forget where you came from
The higher you climb the harder you fall
Never forget where you came from

Know where you want to go
Fight for your fate
Know who you want to be
And why I stand alone

With smoke and mirrors
We’re led astray
The devil's game is played in mysterious ways
We will cut out, the bitter tongues
Oh honestly what have we become?

Woah, Never forget where you came from
Woah, Never forget where you came from

The higher you climb the harder you fall
Never forget where you came from
The higher you climb the harder you fall
Never forget where you came from


9. REDEMPTION

Deafened by the screams of your victims
We suffer in silence
You’ve tied our hands and gagged our mouths
But we will be heard

We're lemmings to the system
Greed and power
Will surely be your downfall
We're all just made up of skin and bones
Stop controlling I swear we won’t back down from you

We're rising against you

This is a war worth fighting for
Your kingdom was built to fall
This is a cause worth dying for
To bring you all undone
This is a war that can be won
When all is said and done
This is a war worth fighting for
They will hear our call

We’re manipulated by the puppeteers
Pulling the strings and choking us with fear
We’re silenced by those in positions of power
But we will be heard

Your reign is unbecoming
Beg for mercy
But no white flag will save you
We're all just made up of skin and bones
Stop controlling i swear we won’t back down from you

We’re rising against you

This is a war worth fighting for
Your kingdom was built to fall
This is a cause worth dying for
To bring you all undone
This is a war that can be won
When all is said and done
This is a war worth fighting for
They will hear our call

You sit high on your throne
You stand to lose it all
You hide behind these walls
No more

How can we stand living this way

Their city falls if we run our own way
Unified we’ll find redemption
Show them what we’re worth
We’ll make our voices heard

We will be heard
We’re rising against you

This is war worth fighting for
Your Kingdom was built to fall
This is a war worth dying for
We're rising against you
This is war that can be won
When all is said and done
This is our world we're fighting for


10. NOSTALGIA

Hanging on to the old sends you back in time
To a place where hope runs dry
It's a fault of mind
A fear of letting go
There's no point living in rewind
Face the day

Buried by our memories
We've got to rise up from beneath the soil
And live with clarity

Don’t let the moments ever fall from view
Make them count
Every breath could bring hope to you
Breathe in breathe out

Today's calling for you
Tomorrow's never set in stone
Yesterday's a distant memory
A legacy’s awaiting you

Nostalgic cycles set off digging your own grave
We're all slaves to pain and shame
inside our minds
Its enough to make you quit but we can change

Purify our memories
We've gotta break out from between the gallows
And live with integrity

Don’t let the moments ever fall from view
Make them count
Every breath will bring something new
Breathe in breathe out

Today is calling for you
Tomorrow's never set in stone
Yesterday's a distant memory
A legacies awaiting you

Wake up face the day
Wake up we can change
Wake up face the day
Wake up be the change

You have strength to take your own perspective
To finally end the suffering
Watch the demons sink as you swim towards clarity

Breathe in breathe out

Today is calling for you
Tomorrow's never set in stone
Yesterday's a distant memory
A legacy’s awaiting you


11. WATCHING

We’re always watching the system failing,
Our world is sinking deeper & deeper

Divine potential with narrow attention
Applauding tunnel vision
If I’m still breathing I’ll claim my innocence
Cause I’m standing alone
Fighting the fight to witness the fall
While they’re believing
Every word you say

What more can I do?
With their eyes sewn shut filled with ignorance

We’re always watching the system failing
Our world is sinking deeper & deeper
We’re still watching manipulated
Our hearts are sinking deeper & deeper

CCTV scans, hacking webcams
Polluting, profiting
If I’m still breathing I’ll claim my innocence
Abuse in technology
It's becoming an online crime scene
'Cause they’re believing every word you say

What more can I do?
With their eyes sewn shut filled with ignorance

We’re always watching the system failing
Our world is sinking deeper & deeper
We’re still watching manipulated
Our hearts are sinking deeper & deeper

I’ve been on my own
Fighting the fight alone
Their eyes sewn shut
Watching it erupt
Watching it erupt,
Our world is sinking deeper & deeper

Our bones are from the earth,
Our tears are flooding oceans,
Will we ever wake?
