1. DAWN BRINGS NO MERCY

A piece of my mind now I give
To the stranger in the midst
A lost and tired heartbeat
Stranger
After all it makes no difference
When you can't afford the time
To hear the sweetest lullaby

Awaiting the sunrise
Over and over again
In my mind you're so empty
And you don't see past
Walls that do contain
When you walked away
In my mind you're a memory
Dawn brings no mercy
And you don't see
No mercy to your skies

On the second wake
You had the chance to turn around
Cause I believed in me and you
Then came the doubt
The pain of knowing what is real
Behind those eyes I really knew
Your secret

Awaiting the sunrise
Over and over again
In my mind you're so empty
And you don't see past
Walls that do contain
When you walked away
In my mind you're a memory
Dawn brings no mercy
And you don't see
No mercy to your skies

Beyond the dreams
Beyond the life of which I knew
Lies a sleeping world unknown
Though the days and nights
Bring little sacrifice
I will not sacrifice my own

Awaiting the sunrise
Over and over and over again
You're so empty and you don't see
And you don't see past
Walls that do contain
When you walked away
In my mind you're a memory
Dawn brings no mercy
And you don't see
No mercy to your skies


2. STRONGER

You used to reach for my hand
And I would follow
Follow you into the fire
Lose sight of tomorrow
How can I wash my hands clean
Of this Disgrace
Somehow I lost sight of me
In your embrace

Awake me from the dark
My soul will bear the mark

Needless to say I was ill advised
I was hypnotised
In your dangerous eyes
I was so damn blind
Now I choose to fight
If there is a chance
I will take it
I can make it
'Cause I'm

Stronger, wiser in every way
Stronger, braver than yesterday
Reaching higher
Now I know there's no limit
I open my arms to the world
'Cause I'm Stronger

I feel the danger in your eyes
Keep them away
Alive in the new light of mirth
Now I'm awake

Awoken from the dark
I'll always bear the mark

Needless to say I was ill advised
I was hypnotised
In your dangerous eyes
I was so damn blind
Now I choose to fight
If there is a chance
I will take it
I can make it
'Cause I'm

Stronger, wiser in every way
Stronger, braver than yesterday
Reaching higher
Now I know there's no limit
I open my arms to the world
'Cause I'm Stronger

I am Stronger

I was ill advised
I was hypnotised
In your dangerous eyes
I was so damn blind
Now I choose to fight
If there is a chance
I will take it
'Cause I'm

Stronger, wiser in every way
Stronger, braver than yesterday
Reaching higher
Now I know there's no limit
I open my arms to the world
'Cause I'm Stronger

Stronger


3. LIBERATOR

Whoa...
When tension takes its toll
Defeating us again
There is no reason
So set aside your pride and deep desires
And you will be the hero in our eyes

The one that walked away
To seize the day
Only to face apprehension
Live with no regret
Never to forget
You'll always be the Liberator

And you...
You'll feel no shame
We'll meet again
For different reasons
And Oh...
When you look back now I hope you see
You paved the way for harmony
Harmony

The one that walked away
To seize the day
Only to face apprehension
Live with no regret
Never to forget
You'll always be the Liberator

All that comes is pain when you try
Opening closed doors
You can't look back it just won't be
Like it was before
If you need a second, a moment to reflect
An inch to give, nothing more
Never to forget

The one that walked away
To seize the day
Only to face apprehension
Live with no regret
Never to forget
You'll always be the one who walked away
Liberator
To seize the day
Only to face apprehension
Live with no regret
Never to forget
You'll always be the Liberator


4. MY CONTENDER LIES

Face to face do we contend
Cuts too deep to mend
What lies 'round the bend?
In search for answers we have found
We're safe on foreign ground
Far from immune
Too much too soon

We've had our differences
This much is true
But I will risk everything
I will fight for you

One step beyond
One chance to rise above it all
Where I belong
A compromise
My contender lies

Face to face and strong to head
With skin too thick to shred
But there's harder times ahead
Yet we've come to find a place
Where patience shows her face
And time apart helps mend my heart

Do we know better?
Can we find truth?
I will risk everything
I will fight for you

One step beyond
One chance to rise above it all
Where I belong
A compromise
My contender lies

Once we are learned
Twice we are glutton
Thrice we are solvent
Whoa... Whoa...
And when my red sky turns to grey
The worst has shaken
Whoa...
I will fight for you

One step beyond
One chance to rise above it all
Where I belong
A compromise
My contender lies


5. SORROW'S SACRIFICE

All my life I've wept for
Nothing else but mine
Picking up the pieces
I'd rather leave behind
No one ever told me
So I never knew
Forever forsaken and blinded
Then there was you
Then there was you

You shake me
To see what's inside
So break me
Take a look in my mind
It's not there
What you're looking for
So shake me
And watch me explode

All I want from you
Is a little affection
All I want from you
Is a little more haste
I need to unwind
So give me some time
Let's just see
How long that takes
All I want from you
Is a clear decision
All I want from you
Is a little more space
What would you pay
To be free for a day?
A little more sacrifice

I'm dying
To be left alone
This has always been the place
Place that I call home
Forever
Broken I will be
Never to find a place
To be truly free

You shake me
To see what's inside
So break me
Take a look in my mind
It's not there
What you're looking for
So shake me
And watch me explode

All I want from you
Is a little affection
All I want from you
Is a little more haste
I need to unwind
So give me some time
Let's just see
How long that takes
All I want from you
Is a clear decision
All I want from you
Is a little more space
What would you pay
To be free for a day?
A little more sacrifice

All I want from you
Is a little affection
All I want from you
Is a little more haste
I need to unwind
So give me some time
Let's just see
How long...
All I want from you
Is any decision
All I want from you
Ah give me some space
What would you pay
To be free for a day?
A little more sacrifice


6. CRYSTAL TEARS

You're some kind of mystery
And I need to strip your disguise
You heighten my senses
When you move with my stride
How long will you tempt me
You're something I can't deny
I died when I looked in your eyes

Once so precious now is broken
Truth has been denied
Oh your touch is just a token
Crystal tears I cry

Crystal tears I cry
Through lonely nights
For the sake of little gain
Will you justify
The pain I feel inside
Just enough to wash away?

Oh you're looking for someone
It's written all over your face
I want just a piece of
The hunger you taste
It's a fatal attraction
And it's something I can't deny
But I died when I looked in your eyes

Once so precious now is broken
Truth has been denied
Oh your touch is just a token
Crystal tears I cry

Crystal tears I cry
Through lonely nights
For the sake of little gain
Will you justify
The pain I feel inside
Just enough to wash away?

Oh it feels like fate has deceived me
I'm a casualty and nothing more
You absorb all my energy
With crystal clarity at my core

Once so precious now is broken
Truth has been denied
Oh your touch is just a token
Crystal tears I cry

Crystal tears I cry
Through lonely nights
For the sake of little gain
Will you justify
The pain I feel inside
Just enough to wash away?


7. MACHINE

Retrospective of an age
With little time to turn the pages over
So we practice what we preach
Just another mere machine to teach

One of these days
I'll escape, push the race
And I'll find a new way

When the grind dictates your time
There's no room to fall behind
So I wake to that same old feeling

Just to be one more machine
Pre-programmed to be the same
When morning wakes, I refuse to believe
I'm just one more machine

Revelation for an age
Diversify mine to escape the drover
Evict my need to unify
There's something more that I have long denied

And I walk free
I walk free from this machine

Taking chances my own way
So desires don't go to waste
Here I go, I'm on the road to somewhere

I won't be one more machine
Pre-programmed to be the same
There's something more and I need to believe
I won't be one more machine

I am full of moving parts
Constructed not to fall apart
Impartial to take blame
Built for the common age
No I'm not for trade
Yes you should upgrade
Experience the new
Improving a version of you

Seek to challenge the unknown
Everyday 'till I grow old
'Cause I choose to live a life worth living

I'm not just one more machine
Pre-programmed to be the same
There's something more and I choose to believe
I'm not just one more machine

I am full of moving parts
Constructed not to fall apart
Impartial to take blame
Built for the common age
No I'm not for trade
Yes you should upgrade
Experience the new
Avoiding coercion
A shiny new version of you


8. RED SKY

Oh red sky open up your eyes
You decide who will live or die
Oh red sky you're so fierce and wild
You will decide who will live or die
Who will live or die

Oh what a waste
To leave this place that I call home
If just to know I'm not alone

Here I've shared a thousand moments
Here I've grown to know and see
I can smell disaster rising
And I can taste what is to be

Your red sky takes my breath away
Burns my eyes take me far away
Take me far away

Oh what a waste
To leave this place that I call home
Would you stay to watch it burn?

Here I shared a thousand moments
Here I've grown to know and see
I can smell disaster rising
And I can taste what is to be
Oh it's such a vicious hour
The air's so hot I cannot breathe
I can smell disaster rising
And I can taste what is to be
And I just wanna be with you

Oh the red sky
Oh that frightful day
Burns my mind
Black Saturday


9. THE FINAL STAND

We are the undivided
We are the great advance
We all stand united
We are the final stand

They draw upon your every thought
Assuming mind control
They walk among the land to feast
Upon your soul
Who are they?
They wake me from my sleep
Why do they
Interrupt my peace?

They won't find us
To divide us

We are the undivided
We are the great advance
We all stand united
We are the final stand
If you walk among us stranger
Fight our cause, unite our land
We are undivided
We are the final stand

Oh take my hand
There's a chance
With so much to fight for

Stand united
Across the barren land
We hold hope, it's something they
Don't understand
Who are they?
They wake me from my sleep
Why do they
Interrupt, interrupt my peace?

They won't bleed us
Still they need us

We are the undivided
We are the great advance
We all stand united
We are the final stand
If you walk among us stranger
Fight our cause, unite our land
We are undivided
We are the final stand

They won't bleed us
Still they need us

We are the undivided
We are the great advance
We all stand united
We are the final stand
If you walk among us stranger
Fight our cause, unite our land
We are undivided
We are the final stand

(Undivided)
(Great advance)
(Stand united)
(They interrupt my peace)

If you walk among us stranger
Fight our cause, unite our land
We are undivided
We are the final stand


10. HIDEAWAY

Persistence is the answer when reaching for the stars
Never for a moment forgetting who we are
Fate shows its face in such strange ways
And it's leading us right to the glory days
We'll prove you right, we're out to fight the very best
And worthy we will be ooh yeah
We're out to get you
We're out to get you
We're out to get you
We're out to get you

Living in our secret hideaway
Look how far we've come in just one day
Hold your breath together we will climb
We're out to get you

We thank you for your patience indulging all our flaws
Survive the very essence that burns you to the core
Not only reputation to defend
But knowing that it's worth it in the end
If good things come for those who wait
We sign the slate and worthy we will be ooh yeah
We're out to get you
We're out to get you
We're out to get you
We're out to get you
We're out to get you

Living in our secret hideaway
Look how far we've come in just one day
Hold your breath together we will climb
We're out to get you

Living in our secret hideaway
Look how far we've come in just one day
Hold your breath together we will climb
We're out to get you

Living in our secret hideaway
Look how far we've come in just one day
Hold your breath together we will climb
We're out to get you


11. MEMORIA'S LONGING

Hold me closely, but much too tame
A little burden to maintain
How did I get here?
(How did I get here?)
(How did I get here?)
So condemned
The journey 'round abandoned bend

I’m building castles, with closed eyes
A road to ruins my demise
With realisation there must be change
For no two journeys are the same

Guarded gates ensure it's only day that breaks
My heart is left untouched
Then you challenge for sensation
Like you do

So these feelings I must trace
To find exposure for an honest face
'Cause my greatest love of all
Promised not to let me fall

Oh I’ll try, but if nothing flies I'll stay this way
My heart will be untouched
Seems the feat taunts me
I walk alone, but I'm never lonely

Guarded gates ensure it's only day that breaks
My heart always untouched
Then you challenge for sensation
Like you always will

Break the divide 'cause I'm destined to be free
I'll let you breathe the life back into me
It's only you who can break my light of day
It’s only you and I like it that way

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

I will remember
Always remember
Remember
Remember hold you forever
Forever just that way

So close my eyes and count to ten
I hope to see you
See you ’round abandoned bend


12. SOLEMN NIGHTS

You will haunt me

I live in darkness forever falls the night
Illuminate my world for I'm without the light
My memories keep me warm please stay with me tonight
For without I'm lost to find the meaning to this life

And I'll meet you on common ground
We'll find ourselves in song
There was comfort in knowing you
Now there's only

Poltergeists, the ghosts of night
Awake me from my sleep
You will haunt me
Solemn nights by candlelight
Forever 'till we meet again
Only to linger in shadow
The memories I will hold near
Never to forget what I hold dear
But I fear

I accept my darkness and live without the light
Last thing that I recall a resemblance of a life
Accept the sacrifice and darker times to start
What to do to fight the pain
That lives inside my heart?

Rest assured that I do believe
You have found some peace
On the side of destiny
You will haunt me

Poltergeists, the ghosts of night
Awake me from my sleep
Now there's only
Solemn nights by candlelight
Forever 'till we meet again
Only to linger in shadow
The memories I will hold near
Never to forget what I hold dear
But I fear

They will come and take me away
Oh I fear how I fear the light of day
Please leave me here
Leave me here to mourn
And you will haunt me 'till the breaking dawn
You will haunt me

Solemn nights by candlelight
Wash over me
Solemn nights by candlelight
I do believe
You will haunt me

Poltergeists, the ghosts of night
Awake me from my sleep
Now there's only
Solemn nights by candlelight
Forever 'till we meet again
Only to linger in shadow
The memories I will hold near
Never to forget what I hold dear
But I fear


13. IN THIS EMBRACE

Here I tame the wild
Oh foolish child
Living a life on demand
If I tell it to you straight
Don't underestimate
These feelings I just can't command

I will make any honest man
Question his actions in vain
I will take any honest man
To share my burden of pain

Oh I'm blinded by the stars
How did I fall this far?
Who will heal my scars?

Tell me my love, what is your drug?
I can be unaffected
Throw it away just for a day
You have been misdirected
Tell me my love, what is your taste?
I can be sweet like sugar
Power lies in this embrace
Where madness hides its face

You're the apple of my eye
Oh no I can't deny
Feelings of thirst I can't stand
You're on the breaking bend
You're using in the end
Living a life that is damned

I will make any honest man
Question his actions in vain
I will take any honest man
To share my burden of pain

Oh I'm blinded by the stars
How did I fall this far?
Who will heal my scars?

Tell me my love, what is your drug?
I can be unaffected
Throw it away just for a day
You have been misdirected
Tell me my love, what is your taste?
I can be sweet like sugar
Power lies in this embrace
Where madness hides its face

Whoa... Hold you to
Every word that you breathe
It's more for you than me
All you do
Is bring me closer to the madness
So here we are it's just insanity

Tell me
My love
What is your drug?
I can be unaffected
I can be sweet like sugar
I can be misdirected
Where this madness hides
Where this madness hides its face
Power lies in this embrace
