1. WHERE GODS FEAR TO SPEAK

In forgotten realms we tread
Whispers echo, hope recedes
Lost visions in our heads
Amidst their silence, we must find our own voice
In their absence, we know we must make a choice
With hearts unyielding, we will face, not fear the night
Defying the gods, we will find our own light

Melancholic tales once told
(Dante's inferno deep and wide)
In this world, so cold and tired
(We seek where truths reside)
Faith, a double-edged and bloody sword
(Guiding, yet blinding the way)
In shadows, illusions stored
(Leading souls astray)
Leading souls astray

Oh, leading souls astray
Vile, relentless, banished, despised
Haunted, tormented, trapped here alive

Innocence is lost where they dare not tread
Amidst the battles, their voices left unsaid
In cowardice, true divinity takes flight
Ripping righteousness from our tongues
In the dead of the night
Night...
Guilt-ridden, wretched, and cloaked in fear
Their shadows cast, their claim laid bare

In the moon's glow
There we stand alone
In search of what we know
Are we really alone
Crying out

Your grace is sufficient
Made perfect in my weakness
Your grace is sufficient
Made perfect in my weakness
Your grace is sufficient
Made perfect in my weakness
Your grace is sufficient
Made perfect in my weakness
Your grace is sufficient
Made perfect in my weakness
Your grace is sufficient
Made perfect in my weakness
Your grace is sufficient
Made perfect in my weakness
Your grace is sufficient
Made perfect in my weakness
Your grace is sufficient
Made perfect in my weakness

In forgotten realms we tread
Whispers echo, hope recedes
Lost visions in our heads
Amidst their silence, we must find our own voice
In their absence, we know
We know, we must make a choice
With hearts unyielding, we will face, not fear the night
Defying the gods, we will find our own light


2. RUN FROM THE LIGHT

Stand up
We'll rise above stormy seas

Halt, do not return for your life
Obey, without question
Endure a lifetime of torment and strife
Beware the righteous hand

We're falling all around ourselves
We're chasing down redemption in vain
I'm choking now, I've tapered out
I'm tripping up, collapsing
We stumble through chaos and strife
In search of solace, turbulent skies
I'm gasping for air, my strength is spent
My eyes wide open

Atone
Suffer
Relinquish
Endure
Suffer
Anguish
Withstand
Persevere

Amidst the shadows, we
Conceal ourselves in darkness
Our secrets they reveal
With every lie, we kneel down

Burnt to ashes
Burnt to ashes
Burnt to ashes
Fall down
Burnt to ashes
Burnt to ashes
Burnt to ashes
Burnt alive

We're falling all around ourselves
We're chasing down redemption in vain
I'm choking now, I've tapered out
I'm tripping up, collapsing
We stumble through chaos and strife
In search of solace, turbulent skies
I'm gasping for air, my strength is spent
My eyes wide open

Stand up
We'll rise above stormy seas
Emerging strong, we will be free
Stand strong
Through dark-ness, we'll find our way
Triumphantly, a brand-new day

Halt, do not return for your life
Obey, without question
Endure a lifetime of torment and strife
The righteous hand condemns
Halt, don't implore for a way out
Conform, without question or doubt
Endure a lifetime of sorrow's cruel test
Beware the righteous hand

Stand with me
We'll rise above stormy seas
Emerging so strong, we, we will be free
Unite with me
Through dark-ness, we'll find our way
Triumphantly, stand in, a brand-new day

Stand up
We'll rise above stormy seas
Emerging strong, we will be free
Stand strong
Through dark-ness, we'll find our way
Triumphantly, a brand-new day


3. DON'T COME BACK FROM HELL EMPTY HANDED

I walked this lonely road
Shadows danced by my side
I heard the whispers on the wind
And felt the darkness move inside
But with every battle waged
And every tear that I've shed
A hard lesson was learned
Another story that couldn't go unread

So, if you're crawling through hell
Where those fires burn bright
Make sure to grasp the flames
And fight to bring back the light

Traveling through the abyss
Lost in its endless expanse
Seeking some semblance of meaning
Trying to find that second chance
Not every lesson uplifts
And not every truth is profound
Sometimes, the answer's in the silence
In the absence of sound

So, if you're crawling through hell
Where those fires burn bright
Make sure to grasp the flames
And fight to bring back the light

The fires may sear
The journey might scar
But the spirit, unbroken
Can travel so far
With the past as your guide
Brightening the gray sky
From the shroud of the night
Run, run towards the day

As the darkness fades
And dawn takes its stand
Remember there is strength
In the power to withstand

As the darkness fades
And dawn takes its stand
Remember there is strength
In the power to withstand

Emerging from the depths
Of an endless night
Ensure you depart the darkness
Clutching the light
Your journey, my friend
Is both rugged and steep
But in valleys of sorrows
That's where the lessons run deep
Winds of change
They seldom rest
Carrying whispers
Putting your will to the test

Within the labyrinth, there's light
Though the path may waver, there's light
Within the labyrinth, there's light
Though the path may waver, there's light
Within the labyrinth, there's light
Though the path may waver, there's light
Within the labyrinth, there's light
Though the path may waver, there's light
Within the labyrinth


4. WISH

Inside I feel like so many times before
The grasping of hope and nothing more

All I ever wanted to be was
Somebody, somebody's something
All I ever wanted to be was
Somebody, somebody's dream

Each door has led to nothing
Each hall as endless as before
The house stands strong
But there's no room
No room for me or anyone

All I ever wanted to be was
Somebody, somebody's something
All I ever wanted to be was
Somebody, somebody's dream

At the bottom of a hole with no way out
A lonely heart in a lonely world
So many people and so many lights
Dim to the core
With nothing left inside

I see darkness all around you
I feel darkness all around me
In a place where I can't find you
Left searching, left wanting

Inside I feel like so many times before
The grasping of hope and nothing more
An empty hand, a barren heart, a place where I
A place where I can only dream

A dream that's just a dream
A dream that's just a dream
A dream that's just a dream
And nothing more
A dream that's just a dream
A dream that's just a dream
A dream that's just a dream
And nothing more

Inside I feel like so many times before
The grasping of hope and nothing more
An empty hand, a barren heart, a place where I
A place where I can only dream

And I feel like so many times before
The grasping of hope and nothing more
An empty hand, a barren heart, a place where I
A place where I can only dream


5. POEM OF ECSTASY

You are devastation follows our every step
I'm, I'm glowing in the moonlight
I'm trying to save you from yourself
Save you from the fray in your mind
From a future that we can't escape
From a faith that only goes one way

'Cause I'll do anything to save you
I'll do everything to stay by your side
And I'll do anything except stop what I'm chasin'
I'll do anything except save myself

We were always set to destroy
What was left, what choice did we have?
We go blind into the night
Our fevered delusions yeah
These looming illusions
Our fractured sight, oh we have arrived
To the end of the line

Until tomorrow
When we rise to fight
Another day on this
Spiraling disaster
Another stolen moment
I watch you in the moonlight
My redemption resting on your lips
The ghosts are always calling
Their grief we can't escape
A sudden sinking feeling
And we're back with them that day

Your love
All I need to survive
This life
It's all contrived

Eyes on me (Watching)
On me (Watching)
Eyes on me (Watching)
On me (Watching)
Eyes on me (Watching)
On me (Watching)
Eyes on me (Watching)
On me (Watching)
(Eyes on me watching)
(On me watching)
(Eyes on me watching)
(On me watching)
(Eyes on me watching)
(On me watching)
(Eyes on me watching)
(On me watching)

'Cause I'll do anything to save you
I'll do everything to protect your light
And I'll do everything except stop what I'm chasin'
I'll do anything except save myself
And and I'll do anything to stay by your side
I'll do anything to save you

We were always set to destroy
What was left, what choice did we have?
We go blind into the night
Our fevered delusions yeah
These looming illusions
Our fractured sight, oh we have arrived
To the end of the line

These scars we can't escape
Trapped in a memory
A path we couldn't change, oh no
When bleeding out I'm calling to you
Can you see me standing there?
You tell me wait and don't be scared
You slip away to nothingness
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
The pain is but of bleeding flesh
Our love remains when nothings left
I'm calling, I'm calling
Save me from this, save me from myself
Let it go we can run away
And I know these scars we can't escape
Save me, save me from myself
Save me from this self destruction


6. THE GIVEN DREAM

I return to the dust I've known
The circle, the sky, the ground that I call home
Destroyer of worlds, beseecher of hope
That cold and bitter taste
The wall in front of you
The stone with all of your hopes
You stare and you stare
It's still empty
You've clawed and you've clawed
No matter how large the dream or deep the want
A given dream, a glimpse of hope, calling
Oh calling
The flowing scars of life and loathing
I've given myself years, and years of wanting

And reaped the earth of all it's hope
That cold and bitter taste
The stone with all your hopes
No matter how long you stare and stare
The given dream was lost right there
It's still empty
We're still empty

Who knows the secrets of the deep?
The many places the gods fear to speak
There'll be no more talk of hell

I return to the dust I've known
The circle, the sky, the ground I call home
Destroyer of worlds, beseecher of hope
That cold and bitter taste
The wall in front of you
The stone with all of your hopes
You stare and you stare
It's still empty
You've clawed and you've clawed
No matter how large the dream or deep the want
A given dream, a glimpse of hope, calling
Oh calling
The flowing scars of life and loathing
You stare and you stare
It's still empty
Still empty


7. I WILL BREAK THE PRIDE OF YOUR WILL

We have to wonder
What dwells beyond the light
When looking forward
Is the same as looking back
We know we can't return
We only just react

Expressionless, I wonder this earth
Crying out and breaking down

Do you know what it takes?
If you want me, come and find me, it's time

I'll bury all my dreams
Absolve all my sins
Remove this guilt within
And guide my hand
All because we dream alone
And gone are the days
Of childish repose
Of childish innocence

Wanna try me, come and find me, this time

We have to wonder
What dwells beyond the light
Time is the hammer
The ticking clock - my heart
This veil a facade
A fragile in-between
This forgotten place I called home
Now never seen

No more days left to lament
The longing for this place I called home
The longer I wait the further away it becomes
The way back is now long, long gone

Expressionless, I wonder this earth
If you want me, come and find me, it's time
If you want me, come and find me, it's time


8. PRAYER

I've called out
In anguish when the names were not mine were nothing
When they were just names
I've read and I've heard and I've known them forever
When the skies open up
And I see only the sun and the moon
And when hope was my guide
And I had nothing else and no one else coming

An engine of obliteration
My eyes fixed to the wall
I've called you by every name
I've asked for you at every fall

Hands together
Holding nothing
A lustful heart
Not knowing where my prayers go

Chasing our dreams
Chasing the days
And we're free and we're frolicking
Dancing, hoping
Our faith is flowing
We are blessed again
Our hearts beckon to the call
And we have nothing at all to fear
To fear

When we're together
There's nothing stronger
We could fly away
Loyal hands clasped
These reverent walls splashed
With our blood again

(Lies)
Hands together
Holding nothing
A lustful heart
Not knowing where my prayers go

An engine of obliteration
My eyes fixed to, fixed to the wall
I've called, I've called for you by every name
Asked for you at every fall

I pretend the beads are hands
Hands together, holding nothing
A lustful grasp, a mournful heart
I still don't know your name
I've called out every name now
I've cried out at every fall

I've called you out by every name now
I've asked at every fall
An engine of obliteration
My eyes fixed to the wall

I've called you out by every name now
I've asked at every fall
An engine of obliteration
My eyes fixed to the wall


9. THE IMPERMANENCE OF FATE

Run your hardest
Chase away the sun
Never let it set on
On what you, and what you've done
Long are the days when
Expectation leads us
When blood determines your path
Who you are, what you want, where you're going

It's not over, not yet
Fight for your place
I know my name and what it means
And what I have to say
I'll never stop fighting
I'll never back down, no
I know my name and what it means
And what I have to say
Say

I know it can be hard
How every other tree touches the sky
How the other branches nourish
Like they know why they were designed
I know because I fell from one
Striving, reaching, aiming at the night
In view of all the stars
But always told I could never shine

Life
Left in the night
Striving to shine
But never held in kind
Life gave a direction
But never a goal I don't despise

Shaking hands and a trembling heart
I fight all through the night
Told to always be reposed
Told to always be loyal
Strive to shine

Fight for your place
I know my name and what it means to me
I'll never stop fighting
And I'll never back down
I know it can be hard
How every other tree touches the sky
How every other branch nurtures
You fell from one too
You just never knew whose

We run our hardest
Chase away the sun
Never let it set on
On what you and what you've done
Gone are the days when
Expectation leads us
When blood determines our path
Who we are, what we want, where we're going

I'll run my hardest
I chase the sun away
I'll never give in I'm trying, I'm trying
The end will come now
We'll fight until the day
I wonder what time has in store
I wonder, wonder, wonder
I'll never give in, I'm trying, I'm trying


10. WICKED GAME

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I... don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I... don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you

And I... don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I... don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you

The world was on fire, no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I... don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I... don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I...
Nobody loves no one
