1. INTRO

Down she fell, to where the wingless fall
Clutching the feathers she ripped with her hands...

So began the journey of an immortal soul
In search of redemption to unfriendly lands.
She knew those who fall are bound to forget
That she would lose her memory of Home
She had yet to feel the taste of regret
The sorrow and loss that were yet to come...


2. NOBODY'S SAVIOR

I walked the line between the shadow and the light
hiding the truth behind the lies
Until the day the blood of angels on my hands
ran deep within, clouded my eyes

Witness Heaven trade my sorrow
the hand of cold ready to kill
the black-feathered soul

As I fall all my hopes come crashing down
Stay back
(eyes closed, don't follow)
Face the truth we avoided all along
Let go, 'cause you can save me no more

I had one chance to right all wrongs, to understand
And tell the truth from bitter lies
I couldn't see and now forever I'll be cursed
I can't escape the waiting gallows

Dawn, behold my darkest hour
I fall apart, bleeding, undone
For dreams long gone all wrong

If this is the end... let it end.


3. CURSEBOUND

Harbingers of winter, angels descending
Let go of this life, tonight it is ending
Crawl to the edge, look down and see
The ocean down below calling to thee
Red from thy blood

Dying inside
Cursed for the string of your lies
Mortal, foresworn you will rue
The day you were no longer pure

Too long have you pulled the ropes of desire
Your fate has been sealed, the bridge is on fire
You will go down in flames and ice
Your lies will taste of regret and demise
Fear gives you speed


4. INTO THE VOID

The light goes out at the end of the tunnel
Hope takes the back seat to grief in the angel's eyes
My life goes on; the struggle is over
But the feeling inside me is begging
to hide from the world

Unafraid, unashamed
I'm crying out, into the void,
I'm crawling out of the abyss within
Longing to disappear
I no longer feel

All of my sins born of burning desire
I'd rather not see all the ones that have fallen behind
Cold-hearted, numb, though my soul is on fire
I wonder if one day
I'll look at myself with a smile

Unafraid, unashamed,
I'm crying out, into the void,
I'm crawling out of the abyss within
Longing to disappear
I no longer hear
Whispers of fear crying within
Breathing the lie into me

The lights around the earth die away
Breathe in the ice and fall
To the winter's reign


5. OUT OF HELL

You got eyes to look and a heart to find
Love to keep the fire burning
Still you lack a reason to find the will

You know all the whys and not a how
Lonesome in the night you follow
Stolen light, hoping to find your way

Follow me out of Hell
Something about you stirs my soul awake

Hell is your shadow
Forgotten, abandoned and cold
You tore up your soul
Don't let yourself fall

You got arms to hold, two ears to hear
Whispers of the shadow calling
Your former name won't sound the same again

A stouter heart to fight, better love to give
A hearth to keep the fire burning
Keeps you alive, hoping you'll learn to feel

I'm not afraid to let go
I'm not compelled to do as I'm told
I'm not afraid to begin to live
My life, it's all better
Feel it in me


6. HIC ET NUNC

Tangled in the veil
The mask clings to your face, now
Breathe, breathe, breathe
The balance changes, you awaken
Buried in your inner universe
Hidden liberty this rain can't deny us

Hold on to yourself, to your soul
Leave behind your pain
Why can't you see there's nothing for us here?

Dare, look in the mirror
That is what you are now
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Reach beyond the confines
The black wall closing in around you, bringing fear
Lose the mask, embrace the power that you are

Hold on to yourself, to your soul
Leave behind your pain
Why can't you see there's nothing for us here?

Leave the past behind you before you become it
Never again yield to the shadow
Here and now, you're free


7. THE SUNDERING

Tell me how long it has been
My memory fails me
It's clouded and cold in my soul

We have faded like old illusions
Forgotten stories of old, alone, unsung, untold
So long gone

Hear my voice dispel the night
Far out of sight
Bring me out of the dark sea
So deeply afraid that we won't return

I saw the clouds collapse
I heard the sundering of skies
Eons ago when we were free

I will give you a sign
That I am still here
Right here
And I will help you fight
In the end you will see it was only a dream
We both have lived

Somewhere in faraway lands
We were left alone
We can't breathe until we're gone
Lost at sea, we'll never drown
We're not free until we're done

I am longing to feel you
My friend, we're unafraid
I am falling into you
This is the end of years we cry

Someday, beloved homeland
The wind blows stronger
Our hearts sing, our souls are aflame

Though now our eyes are haunted
All we need is a light
To guide us home on those silent wings
In the end you will see
It was only a dream


8. REVOLUTION UNFOLDING

Dark new dawn
On the outskirts of the universe, keeping us awake
Look ahead, to the clouds lined in silver light

Feel it, see it
The ivory gates are closing,
Looking to deny us
Feel it, see it
Did you know your soul
Is the key to let me pass?

Reclaim my place inside the living fire

For now I know where I'm going
I'm falling over the edge
Don't deny the feeling taking you over
I know for sure inside me shines the light
Of a revolution taking flight

Feel it, the end
The black dawn found us graceless
Not the midnight hour
Nothing you fear
Has the power to steal
The fire from your eyes
If indeed we'll die tonight

We'll find our place inside the living fire

For now I know where I'm going
I'm falling over the edge
Don't deny the feeling taking you over
I know for sure inside me shines the light
Of a revolution taking flight

We have spent days, months, years,
Bound hand and foot like those in the lake of fire.
But no more. All we have longed for is at hand.
Death is not the enemy.
For even from death our souls return, reborn.
This night we shall feel the Living Fire that delivered us

Our sins shall not bring us down.
Our fear shall not hold us back.
We shall not yield to the weight of pain,
Nor loss, nor sorrow.

We do not fight for revenge.
We are here to fight for our freedom.
Let our blood purge the stains of our transgressions.
Let our light be the foundation of a new beginning.
Let this be the final hour when we bend
Our knees in prayer as the outcasts of Heaven.

And maybe, when all is said and done,
My sins will be forgiven.
Can you help me believe it?
My soul is whole, and I am coming Home.
