1. SPARKS

Born of dust and stone
Dead hearts, roaming a dying home
Life leaves us all
White bones upon the shores of time
We are but sparks in a darkened world
And yet some things were born to burn

The napalm in your eyes
Is all my cold heart needs!
If you bring the matches
I'll bring the gasoline!

I'm the same bad news as you
You're the same kind of "fucked" as me
I'm the same bad news as you
You're the same, you're the same as me!


2. OLD GHOSTS/NEW REGRETS

Forever fucked!
We've waged a war of suffering and deceit
One hundred thousand years of dreaming, drowned in a flood of fear and greed
Precious heritage, laid waste before the chainsaw's snarling teeth
Bleed the earth, bleed her till her heart no longer beats
And still we wonder why
As the ground beneath our feet turns to dust
The air we breathe laced with poisons
A legacy of disgust, a legacy of sorrow

So we're born with nothing and we die alone

We're born with nothing and we die alone
Regret is all we have, death is all we know
We're born with nothing and we die alone
Regret is all we have, death is all we know

Forever fucked!
Eradicate the truths of history
Train our eyes, train our minds so we no longer see the casualties
Countless cultures murdered, generations stolen and deceived
No guilt to bear, born to consume, to breed, to deny all that makes us free

We're born with nothing and we die alone

We're born with nothing and we die alone
We're born with nothing, we die alone
We're born with nothing and we die alone
We're born with nothing, we die alone
We die alone

Forever fucked!
We're born with nothing and we die alone
We're born with nothing, we die alone


3. DREAM RUN

Do you remember, all those nights
When we stood side by side?
And we said, "We'll save the goodbyes"
The night is young, we still have, time!

In my dreams I see it ending
I see, I see the sky descending
While I let the sadness empty from my heart
'Cause in my dreams I feel I'm falling
While I hear the darkness calling
Don't wake me up until the morning's light
'Cause I've never felt more alive

Do you remember, all those nights
When we stood side by side?
And we said, "We'll save the goodbyes"
The night is young
Well I never, never, never want to press rewind
Every mistake that lead us here
I wouldn't change for anything

I wouldn't change for anything
I wouldn't change for anything

Dear girl
There is a world that stands between us and them
See this was never about giving up
Just giving in

Because you only live once
But you spend your whole life dying
So when it all comes crashing
Know you're not alone
You're not alone!
You only live once, but you spend your whole life dying
So when it all comes crashing
Know you're not alone
Alone, alone, alone!

We welcome death with all our sins
There is no fear when this life ends
We welcome death with all our sins
There is no fear when this life ends
We welcome death with all our sins
There is no fear
There, there is no fear!

Do you remember?
Do you remember?

Do you remember, all those nights
When we stood side by side
And we said, "We'll save the goodbyes"
The night is young
Do you remember, all those nights
When we stood side by side
And we said, "We'll save the goodbyes"
The night is young
We still have time

'Cause I've never felt more alive
I've never felt more alive
Alive, alive, alive


4. WILD EYES

We built our dreams from the ashes of your nightmares
Carry our father's sins, from the cradle to the grave
We blaze our path through the darkness that you left us in
Now we ride in the belly of the beast

We are the diamonds that choose to stay coal
A generation born to witness the end of the world

Against the grain!
Against the odds
Against the world!
Forever the underdogs

We are the bastard sons
We are the ones that refused to grow cold
We are the thorn in your side
We are the thieves in the night
And we're coming to take what's ours

No regrets!
No regrets, we inherit the sins of the fathers
Now reap the vengeance
No regrets, we inherit the sins of the fathers
Now reap the vengeance
Go!

From the ashes of your nightmares
From the cradle to the grave
We blaze our path through the darkness that you left us in
Now we ride in the belly of the beast

We are the diamonds that choose to stay coal
A generation born to witness the end of the world

Born to witness the end of the world

Viva the underdogs!
Viva the underdogs!
Viva the underdogs!
Viva the underdogs!
Viva the underdogs!
Viva the underdogs!
Viva the underdogs!


5. DARK DAYS

What will you tell your children
When they ask you "What went wrong?"
How can you paint a picture of a paradise lost
To eyes that know only a wasteland?
How will you justify
Justify watching the world die?

The clock is ticking, can't you feel our days are numbered?
Head first into disaster from which there will be no return
With narrow minds we decimate our one true home
Cast into oblivion, judgement is calling

Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral of the Earth
Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral

The blind eye can no longer be cast
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance

The blind eye can no longer be cast
There will be no future, if we can't learn from our mistakes
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
There will be no future, if we can't learn

A forced extinction closes out the age of apathy
The final act, sacrifice the world's ecology
The death of beauty, the death of hope
Cast before the throne of avarice, judgement is calling

Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral of the Earth
Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral

The blind eye can no longer be cast
There will be no future, if we can't learn from our mistakes
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
There will be no future, if we can't learn

I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn

I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn

Behold the pale horse


6. THE RIVER

Follow your heart to the water
Fill your pockets with stone
Throw your arms around me
Never let me go!

You were the first, you wouldn't be the last
What the river took, we could never replace
And as the pain set in, so did the realization
You were never coming home
For nights we lay awake
Wishing for answers, hoping against all hope
And if love could change the course of fate
These nights, we move mountains
But as the news filtered down the line
The impact shook us, shook us to the core
Loss struck like a dagger in our, aching hearts

So follow your heart to the water
Fill your pockets with stone
Throw your arms around me
Never let me go!

It's not the years in your life
It's not the years in your life
It's not the years in your life
It's the life in your years!

Old soul, so it's said...
The day we lost is the day I found regret
Not in the waters that embraced you
But in the wake your absence left
Sink into me! Sink into me!

Hold out your hands, sink into me...
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away...
Hold out your hands, sink into me...
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away...
Hold out your hands, sink into me!
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away!
Hold out your hands, sink into me!
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away!
Hold out your hands, surrender the weight of this world!

Follow your heart to the water
Fill your pockets with stone
Throw your arms around me!

Follow your heart to the water
Fill your pockets with stone
Throw your arms around me
Never let me go


7. SWING

This soul was born for battle
My heart was built for war
These eyes see through the lies
Filled with disgust

Strip back the utopian rhetoric
And you'll find a sickness at the core
A septic carcass rotting out
Filled with disgust
We are the dead
Empty lives, empty heads
Guilty is as guilty fucking does
Filled with disgust

All we have to believe are the lies that they feed us
All we have to choose is the right to obey
Pray this time, we'll be our mark on history
When the shadow games and agendas
Are wiped the fuck away!

There is no such thing as different shades of truth
It's black or white, do or die
Filled with disgust
You tie your noose with your lies, but the world keeps turning
"Swing low" we cry, but the world keeps turning
Turning without you
It keeps turning without you
'Cause all we have to believe are the lies that they feed us
Born for battle
All we have to choose is the right to obey
Built for war

This soul was born for battle
My heart was built for war!...
(Built for fucking war)
This heart was built for war
Swing, swing, swing
Swing, swing, swing
Swing, swing, swing
Swing, swing, swing
Swing, swing, swing
Motherfuckers!

End it!
Built for war
Built for fucking war


8. THE SLOW SURRENDER

You've gotta fight for your life
There is nothing to fear but fear itself

The devil dances in idle minds

Fight for your life
Fight for your life
Fight for your life

I won't turn back now
This will be no slow surrender
I won't turn back now
Carpe diem, straight for the throat!

Conflict, the all-consuming pain
Time lost will never be regained
Don't waste your breath
You can't save your strength
The battle rages in the here and now!

See, every second that you waste
Is time you'll never live again

Fight for your life
Fight for your life
Fight for your life
Fight for your fucking life!

There is a price to pay
Death is a heartbeat away
There is a price to pay
Death is a heartbeat away
A heartbeat away

The devil dances in idle minds
The devil dances in idle minds

Fight, fight, fight!
For your life!
Fight, fight, fight!
For your life!
Fight, fight, fight!
For your life!
Fight, fight, fight!

I won't turn back now
This will be no slow surrender
I won't turn back now
Carpe diem, I gotta go straight for the throat!

The devil dances in idle minds
The devil dances in idle minds
The devil dances
The devil dances in idle minds
The devil dances
The devil dances in idle minds


9. ATLAS

My life is a weathered down shipwreck
Splitting at the seams, held together by memories and dreams
Every face I have seen, a stitch on my mind
On a shadow of a dream

And my heart is its cargo, a worn out old thing
Been dragged around this rock more times than you'd believe
To the east I call home
But the west, she is calling
From the north, to the south
Forever I'm drifting away
With more hope than fear
Put your head to my chest and you will hear

The sound of it beating
Is the sound of love leaving
The sound of it beating
Is the sound of the emptiness flooding in

Flooding in
It's the sound of the emptiness flooding in

And my life, it aches
And my heart, it breaks
And I just can't shake the feeling all I am is sinking
While one thousand eyes stare back at me
But the ones that I'd die for are the ones I can't see
One thousand eyes stare back at me
But the ones that I'd die for are the ones I can't see

Flooding in
It's the sound of the emptiness


10. SLEIGHT OF HAND

No comfort!
No comfort!
No comfort!
No comfort!

Fear in the face of the unknown
Born to die in a lonely world
Hostility breeds within the void
Left by the loss of understanding
Hatred, the true face of ignorance
Force-fed to the masses with the promise of salvation
Knowledge controlled, power withheld
In the name of one, let all blood spill

There is no god that could love this world

I find no comfort
In a life lived on my knees
No comfort
Divine judgement, I could never believe

No comfort!
No comfort!
No comfort!
I could never believe

To live a life without regret
Is it not enough?
To love and to be loved
Nothing lasts forever!
Nothing lasts forever!
Nothing lasts!

Superstition rules in the land of the weak
Nothing lasts forever!
Superstition rules in the land of the weak

Fear in the face of the unknown
Born to die in a lonely world
Hostility breeds within the void
Left by the loss of understanding
Hatred, the true face of ignorance
Force-fed to the masses with the promise of salvation
Knowledge controlled, power withheld
In the name of one, let all blood spill

There is no god
There is no god
That could love this world

There is no god
There is no god
There is no god
There is no god
There is no god
There is no god
That could love this world!
That could love this world!

I find no comfort
No comfort!
No comfort!
I find no comfort
No comfort!
No comfort!
I find no comfort
No comfort!
No comfort!


11. SNAKE OIL AND HOLY WATER

You want a piece of my mind?
There is no peace to find!

This is all of your doubt, repaid in kind
I am alone in crowded rooms
I am a ghost in forgotten tombs
Widow maker, you're no company to keep

Cause you can fool some people, sometimes
But you can't fool the world for the rest of your life
You can fool some people, sometimes
But you can't fool the world

Nobody notices! Nobody cares!
As the curtain falls to no one, nowhere
Nobody notices! Nobody cares!
As the curtain falls

Soulless, spineless
Cut from the beggar's cloth
You fill your skull with their shit till it runs from your mouth
Heartless, carcass
I've seen more life in dead men's eyes
I've heard more truths alone with the night

And I'd rather believe in nothing than believe in a fucking lie!
I'd sooner fail one thousand times than regret I never tried!

Cause you can fool some people, sometimes
But you can't fool the world for the rest of your life
You can fool some people, sometimes
But you can't fool the world
You can't fool us all!

You howl at the world, but speak a dead language
You're selling your soul, but no one is buying
You pray to your gods of fashion and industry
Heads in the clouds, but you live on your fucking knees
On your knees!

Nobody notices! Nobody cares!
As the curtain falls to no one, nowhere
Nobody notices! Nobody cares!
As the curtain fucking falls

Soulless, spineless
Cut from the beggar's cloth
You fill your head with their shit till it runs from your mouth
Heartless, carcass
I've seen more life in dead men's eyes
I've heard more truths alone with the night
Alone with the night!

No! No peace to find!


12. BLUE AND THE GREY

Dear sky
Dear sky, don't cry for me
(Cry for me)
Be the hope
I could never reach

Cold sea, please don't let me sink
(Don't let me sink)
Wrap your arms around me
And carry me home

I stood at the shore and spoke to the ocean
I stood in the water and let my guts spill
I said, "You and me, we're not so different
I see my reflection in all that you do"

We both keep our secrets
We're both oh so blue
My heart is full of darkness
I know that yours is too

I sat on the rooftop and screamed at the sky
I sat on the edge until I knew deep inside
Like the sky, I will always be empty
The horizon, my love - forever just out of reach

We both keep our secrets
We're both oh so blue
My heart is full of darkness
I know that yours is too

Distance was born
When the sea and the sky grew apart
Loneliness was born
The day I let you go
I let you go
I let you...

I let you...
I let you go
I let you...
I let you go
I let you go

So now I stand at the shore and speak to the ocean
I stand in the water and let...
Let my guts spill
Let my guts spill

We both keep our secrets
We're both oh so blue
My heart is full of darkness
I know, I know that yours is too

Dear sky
Dear sky, don't cry for me
(Cry for me)
Be the hope
I could never reach

Cold sea, please don't let me sink
(Don't let me sink)
Wrap your arms around me
And carry me home

Dear sky
Dear sky
