1. NUMBERED DAYS

The time approaches
Fall

This is the voice of the voiceless
We have learned by making choices
After persecution and delusion
We have severed this illusion
To build our foundation
Of natural elements to preserve life
We will rise, this Babylon falls

Fall

Chanting inspiration for the righteous
Dislocation from the social order

Kingdoms will rise to power
But kingdoms fall to dust

Fall, fall, fall

The ashes of the dead will be a sign
The time approaches
Who will hear your cries fall Babylon
The time approaches

Arms raised eyes gaze
Tongues of fire whisper
This life will soon slip away

Fall Babylon, your days are numbered
The time - the time approaches

Arms raised eyes gaze
Tongues of fire whisper
This life will soon slip away

Fall Babylon, you will fall
Your days are numbered
The time approaches
Who will hear your cries as you fall

Fall, fall, fall


2. SELF REVOLUTION

I can't comprehend society's movement
The regression of human existence
This is the quest of life
Fulfill your destiny

Slow down

Slow down this fast paced world
And you will see past the illusion

Breaking the foundation
Collapse the control
Building a revolution to heal nations
It starts within you

Slow down the fast paced world
And you will see past the illusion

Breaking the foundation
Collapse the control
Building a revolution to heal nations
It starts within you

In this search for I & I
(reversal of oneself finding the truth)
The truth is always deep inside
(reversal of oneself finding the truth)

This is the quest of life - quest of life
We must find the strength - find the strength
This is the quest of life - quest of life
We must find the strength for a new movement

In this search for I & I
(reversal of oneself finding the truth)
The truth is always deep inside
(reversal of oneself finding the truth)

Slow down this fast paced world
And you will see the revolution
For a new movement


3. FIXATION ON THE DARKNESS

Fixation on the darkness
That engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people

Change
Change

Fixation on the darkness
That engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people

Return to the womb new life
Lay your head to rest mercy
To give you a piece of mind
Lay your head to rest

Come together inside
This body is only a shell
Change the only way we will survive
Light transfiguration of the soul
Of the soul of the mind

Fixation on the darkness
That engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people

Return to the womb new life
Lay your head to rest mercy
To give you a piece of mind
Lay your head to rest

Tell them
They will not hold us down
It's time for change

Change - it's time for change
Change - it's time for change

They will not hold us down
They will not hold us down
It's time for change
It's time for change


4. MY LAST SERENADE

This is my last serenade
This is my last Serenade

This revelation is the death of ignorance
Tangled in a state of suffocation
Slave to self righteousness
Damnation is on your lips

From sorrow to serenity
The truth is absolution
From sorrow to serenity
It's on your head

This is my last serenade
I feel you as you fall away
This is my last serenade
From yourself you can't run away

It's your choice
Point the finger
But it's on your head

Your destination is a choice within yourself
Will you rise or become a slave
To self righteousness
Open up your heart and gaze within

From sorrow to serenity
The truth is absolution
From sorrow to serenity
It's on your head

This is my last serenade
I feel you as you fall away
This is my last serenade
From yourself you can't run away

This is my last Serenade
This is my last Serenade
This is my last Serenade


5. LIFE TO LIFELESS

Humanity cover me
With the ashes of remembrance
I will learn from this pain

There is no darkness without light
To teach us of ourselves

Humanity cover me
With the ashes of remembrance
I will learn from this pain

Life to lifeless to eternity
Life to lifeless the cycle repeats

Death unfolds itself painfully
To unmask how fragile we are
Death unfolds itself painfully
Teacher of sanity

The pain drags me down
I'll rebuild me
The pain drags me down
I'll rebuild me

Humanity cover me
With the ashes of remembrance
I will learn from this pain

Life to lifeless to eternity
Life to lifeless the cycle repeats
Life to lifeless to eternity
Life to lifeless the cycle repeats
Life to lifeless to eternity
Life to lifeless the cycle repeats


6. JUST BARELY BREATHING

Descend into hysteria
Chaos of mankind
But who is listening
To the voice of hatred
Tortured souls lost
So completely lost
Weakened in the concept of decline
Deception

Descend into hysteria
Chaos of mankind
But who is listening
To the voice of hatred
Tortured souls lost
So completely lost
Weakened in the concept of decline
Deception

Are we alive or just breathing
Don't close your eyes, see the images
Are we alive or just breathing
Don't close your eyes, see the images

The sky weeps tonight
Our bodies washed away
I am waiting for you
Deliverance
The sun falls through the clouds
Hear my cry

Are we alive or just breathing
Don't close your eyes, see the images
Are we alive or just breathing
Don't close your eyes, see the images

The sky weeps tonight
Our bodies washed away
I am waiting for you
Deliverance
The sun falls through the clouds
Hear my cry

I am waiting for you
I am waiting for you
I am waiting for you
I am waiting for you


7. TO THE SONS OF MEN

You son of man
I am here as a witness
You son of man
Can't you see what burns inside me

This fire will consume
As the flames purify

With the peace that passes understanding
This is my outcry

From dust to dust
We will return

The flesh is temporary
The soul is eternal

I am here as a witness
Can't you see this fire purifies

This fire will consume
As the flames purify

Son of man
Can't you see
Son of man
You can't save yourself


8. TEMPLE FROM THE WITHIN

Make me feel serenity
When all is revealed
So easy to look back in life
And question but I must
Seek the strength to push forward

I want to see what's so beautiful inside

As we drink of life
Absolve me through your suffering

Make me feel serenity
When all is revealed
So easy to look back in life
And question but I must
Seek the strength to push forward

You teach me to inscribe these words upon my heart
You cover me with the shadow of your hand

Everything that tears us down

I will not loose myself
In everything that tears us down
Because you stand by me
No one to blame for my transgressions

You teach me to inscribe these words upon my heart
You cover me with the shadow of your hand

I will not loose myself
In everything
That tears me down
Because you stand, stand by me

I want to see what's so beautiful inside

As we drink of life
Absolve me through your suffering

I will not loose myself
In everything
That tears us down
Because you stand by me
There's no one to blame
No one to blame


9. THE ELEMENT OF ONE

Breathe me in
Breathe me in

Torn disbelieving separation
I close my eyes to see you

This is for you
Everything I am
This is for you
Take it from me

Torn disbelieving separation
I close my eyes
But there is no escaping you

This is for you
Everything I am
This is for you
Take it from me

In your arms in your soul
There will be rejuvenation

Breathe me in I'm forever
Deep within I'm eternal
Breathe me in I'm forever
Deep within I'm eternal

I will return to you

I am with you always
And I will never turn away

Breathe me in I'm forever
Deep within I'm eternal
Breathe me in I'm forever
Deep within I'm eternal


10. VIDE INFRA

I have opened my eyes to see
The world that surrounds me daily
I refuse to be led by the majority
Can't compromise I and I

To pass judgment
Judgment will be
Passed upon you

I have opened my eyes to see
The world that surrounds me daily
I refuse to be led by the majority
Can't compromise I and I

To pass judgment
Judgment will be
Passed upon you

I will stand up for who I am
Never moved by condemnation

No one is placed higher than another
No matter race or creed or gender
We must teach forgiveness and compassion for all life

Through understanding of our differences
We will find respect for one another
Because we are all flesh and blood

No one is placed higher than another
No matter race or creed or gender
We must teach forgiveness and compassion for all life

I'm not afraid to speak my mind
No matter the consequences
Stay true to myself

Through the humble eyes of a child
We will realize true equality

They can not take me from me
They can not take you from you
They can not take I from I
They can not take I from I
They can not take me from me
They can not take you from you
They can not take I from I


11. WITHOUT A NAME

12. RISE INSIDE

Rise inside free your mind
Raise your fist
To signify we stand in defiance
Of hatred and deception
If I stand alone
I’ll fight for you

Time has come to make a difference
Why have we forsaken love
Time has come to raise our voices
To rise up, and fight with me

Embrace what we have
It might be the last time

In this life we will rise
If we find the strength to unify

You become the victim

And I believe love will overcome

To rise up and fight with me
Time has come to, raise our voices
To rise up and fight with me

Time has come

The time has come to rise inside
Rise inside get up
