1. ISOLATION: PROLOGUE

(Instrumental)


2. ALIVE

It’s secured, it's contained
It's in control
The fear that tries to escape as darkness floods
Has it come to this?
Fear is winning here
How far we got from our long-awaited dream

I'm reaching out
And realize
All is gone

Our paradise
The bliss of our lives
Turned into one eternal night
The fear as I stared death in the eye
Leaves me in awe how I'm alive

All around me
In fight, in suffering
I see the faces of the ones that I love
In my wildest dreams this would never end
In a way such as this, it's all insane

Are we in hell?
Blessed souls
Must be damned

Our paradise
The bliss of our lives
Turned into one eternal night
The fear as I stared death in the eye
Leaves me in awe how I'm alive

Memories won't fade
Etched to stay

Our paradise
The bliss of our lives
Turned into one eternal night
The fear as I stared death in the eye
Leaves me in awe how I'm alive
Feels like I should not be alive


3. HEAVEN

Take me out of my way
In me all aching shall fade
My longing might finally end
I give in to thee

Safe is what I feel tonight
Inside
It's like heaven where I've gone
And that's how I know it's paradise

I broke into
Lucidly failed
Forsook my pride
And let hatred refill
Self-consciously I recall
I gave in to thee

Safe is what I feel tonight
Inside
It's like heaven where I've gone
And that's how I know it's paradise

Far away is where I feel alive
Divine
I'm in heaven when I'm gone
And now I know I'm in paradise

In my head 
I've said goodbye
To my hesitance
I'm sure now
I'll take this path, I'm trusting this
Like I've never trusted me
I'm there at last

Safe is what I feel tonight
Inside
It's like heaven where I've gone
And that's how I know it's paradise

Far away is where I feel alive
Divine
I'm in heaven when I'm gone
And now I know I'm in paradise

In my head 
I've said goodbye
To my hesitance
I'm sure now


4. ALL I HAVE

I was told that you're supposed to
Give them all
You were all I had
But it was all in my head

All you gave me was this coldness
In your eyes
Hate was all you felt
Now that's all I have to give

Hiding deep down
Might be tears that flood inside
Though never shared
For that is all I have

It has a hold of me
The ice won't melt inside
All because of you
I have nothing left to lose

Hope is out there
But it's nowhere close to me
Here I've stopped to feel
I have nothing left to give

Hiding deep down
Might be tears that flood inside
Though never shared
For that is all I have

All in control
I'm a stone without a soul
I never share
For that is all I

Have in me
All in me
Can't run free
Having me is everything I'd never
Ever be
I'm telling you, I'm selling you
I'm yelling too
I'm seeing hell in you
And now I'm seeing hell in me
How can I be you?
Never wanted you
Can I free myself from you?

Hiding deep down
Might be tears that flood inside
Though never shared
For that is all I have

All in control
I'm a stone without a soul
I never share
For that is all I have


5. DECAYED

This, is this for real?
My fears are escaping me
I'm here nothing stands in my way
I see it so clear
The feeling's all over me
I see now how I must've been

Saved by a dream
I know by signs you give
How well we belonged from start
You and I cannot live apart

My new life is my law
Finding answers to everything
I was climbing before now I fly
And I'll never resign
Now I can attain anything
And that's why

I'm saved by a dream
I know by signs you give
How well we belonged from start
You and I cannot live apart

They might say I'm delusional
In every way decayed

Cursed by the dream
I see from signs you give
How blind I have been from start
And now we can't live apart


6. SOMEWHERE

Words all drenched in silence
Choices of reason sweeping in
My fate lost without guidance
Guidance in treason deep within

Somewhere
I am falling through the sky forever
Somewhere
All the pieces fall apart and
Suddenly, finally
Fallen dreams assemble
Can't you see that I'll be free?

Escape, fall in to slumber
Currents of darkness passing through
All of my hope is fading
Truth is lying
I am not like you

Somewhere
I am falling through the sky forever
Somewhere
All the pieces fall apart and
Suddenly, finally
Fallen dreams assemble
Can't you see that I'll be free?

Here in my own misery
Life breathes again
Far, far from reality
New ways of change begin

Somewhere
I am falling through the sky forever
Somewhere
All the pieces fall apart

Somewhere
I am falling through the sky forever
Somewhere
All the pieces fall apart and
Suddenly, finally
Fallen dreams assemble
Can't you see that I'll be free?

New ways of change begin


7. BLESSED AND OVERCOME

Before everything will start to fade
Till the sun dies and all it leaves is shade
I will only ask of you to try to forgive my faith

It brings me to life that I'm satisfied
To know that I'm right where I belong
To enter this light
Must be the best thing that I've done
And now I am blessed and overcome

Believe me I've seen how this will end
I can no longer lie and I can't pretend
I've realized I have to go
And now I'm finally free

I feel it is my path
It is within my grasp
I know that this time it will last

It brings me to life that I'm satisfied
To know that I'm right where I belong
To enter this light
Must be the best thing that I've done
And now I am blessed and overcome

Before everything will start to fade
Till the sun dies and all it leaves is shade
I will only ask of you to try to forgive my faith
And now I am blessed and overcome


8. BREAK THE CHAIN

Believes in what he's saying
He says she's disobeying
That's why he has to punish
And control her all the time

She could just be playing
And for that she would be paying
And feel guilt
As she was told she had been bad
It was her fault

The mother's only praying
She's not anticipating
That this will ever end
That he won't change back to a friend

The memories are staying
And mentally they're slaying
The trust and self-esteem
There's none behind that poor child's beam

Why are you staying? 
He's hurt you since day one
What are you waiting for?
It's time to leave and run

Cry in pain
Through the sound
Of falling rain
To the ground
Conscience's slain
Failure's crowned
Break the chain
Before you're downed

Even her love life's failing
The love is slowly fading
And the man she had married
Starts to blame it all on her

She keeps on dissipating
The fact that he's behaving
Just like her wicked dad
It's the same all over again

Why are you staying? 
He's hurt you since day one
What are you waiting for?
It's time to leave and run

Cry in pain
Through the sound
Of falling rain
To the ground
Conscience's slain
Failure's crowned
Break the chain
Before you're downed

All my life I've felt so ashamed
And it's all my fault
At least I'm always blamed
Can't believe the way I have been living
For so long, I just kept forgiving
It doesn't matter how hard I try
To do better, I'm doomed to fail anyway
There's no use, what can I do?
I have no choice
I have to go
I have to break the chain
And get away
Got to find a way to get away

Cry in pain
Through the sound
Of falling rain
To the ground
Conscience's slain
Failure's crowned
Break the chain
Before you're downed
Break the chain


9. ONE LAST TIME

Sounds of despair echo through
(A plague of dust is spreading)
Lands laid to rest, broken view
And may the fields never grow again
Never rise again

We got to shake the world awake
To read all the signs of our mistakes
And leave all the darkness far behind
To see us rising one last time

As we're facing the end can we open our eyes?
(The voice of silence speaking)
Crack the earth to escape from this beautiful lie
One last time

We got to shake the world awake
To read all the signs of our mistakes
And leave all the darkness far behind
To see us rising one last time
One last time

Our hope's swept away
We were never here to stay
In time we'll be on our way

Our hope's swept away
'Cause we were never here to stay
In time we'll be on our way
To the end

Our hope's swept away
'Cause we were never meant to stay
In time we'll be on our way

We got to shake the world awake
To read all the signs of our mistakes
And leave all the darkness far behind
To see us rising one last time
We'll read all the signs of our mistakes
And leave all the darkness far behind
To see us rising one last time


10. THE ENDING

Hidden underground
Parted from the world
Listening to the sound
Of whispers inside
Hoping no one sees
What's become of me

Facing death somehow
It's the only way
I know that now
Say the voices inside
Hoping no one sees
What's becoming of me
My enemy is only me

Save me from myself
Don't give me freedom
I cannot escape from myself
The fight is over
And it will not help

Trapped beneath the shell
Of the world I knew
And now I'm closer to hell
With my screams inside
Hoping no one sees
What's becoming of me
My enemy is killing me

Save me from myself
Don't give me freedom
I cannot escape from myself
The fight is over
And it will not help
Me from myself
Don't give me freedom
I cannot escape from myself
The fight is over
And it will not help


11. ISOLATION: EPILOGUE

Drowned in dust
Everything we've built up in debris
Heaven fell, it fell on us
Now we struggle to live

No escape
No help to get
A storm is coming our way
Lands are lost
It's getting dark
And it's colder each day

What we had
Nothing's left
Lost here in isolation
Emptiness
And regrets
The future has met an ending now

Years have gone
Since we lost all control
And my home
Is invaded by storms
And my soul
Yearns for finding a cure
I won't go
To my doom, I'll make sure

What we had
Nothing's left
Lost here in isolation
Emptiness
And regrets
The future has met an end

I will go, I'll do it,
I'll leave these grounds
I will find a way, I'll make it count
It's my destiny what lies ahead
Far beyond all of this that we know
There will be an answer and a journey home
I'll take a leap and I might save us all

Loneliness be my friend
I will show
That I'm the one for this, that I know
On my way I'll do whatever it will take

Out here I have you as my star and my light when all goes dark
And I will be back, I promised you
Here I see now that if I were to be able to see this through
I won't be coming back to you

This, this is my path, I know where to go
And I'm not going back,
Think, think of what's ahead, not what's left behind
'cause I'm not going back

I see in front of me the future we went out for
But what will come to be if no one's there but me

I put myself into this, no one else to blame
How did I think this would end, I'm all drowned in shame

I did this, I'm sorry, I swear that I was trying
I thought I could win this, instead I left you dying

What we had
Nothing's left
Lost here in isolation
Emptiness
And regrets
The future has met the end

How did I think this would end
No one else here to blame
I'm all drowned in shame
