1. THE CHILDREN SING

...Don't take this world away from me
...Don't take this world away from me

Don't take this
Don't take this world away from me
Don't take this world away...

Our future decides the roles we play
Struggles to sell the past away
The afterthought is staring back on
Better days

'Cause our daughters and sons
Will live to pay
For every mistake that we have made
For every conviction we've betrayed
So let the children sing

Don't take this
Don't take this world away from me
Don't take this world away from me

Yeah so
What we can do to waste away
An answer that only time betrays
A question we'll ask ourselves from here
To eternity

Will it be worth the price to pay
For living the lives in our remains
How do you think we will explain?
When the children sing

Don't take this
Don't take this world away from me
Don't take this world away from me

Can we find a way to face today
With an eye on the things to come
'Cause mistakes we made bring our decay
And our chance to make a difference
will be gone!

[Breakdown]
Oh! Yeah! Yeah!

So this is the price to pay
For living in our remains
Just listen as the children sing

...Don't take this
...Don't take this world away!

Don't take this
Don't take this world away from me
Don't take this world away from me

Woah

[Outro Breakdown]


2. THE GHOST OF YOU AND I

You'll find in time
The brightest flame will slowly die
And bear the darkest night
Two eyes and everything
that's meant to shine
Burns out before your eyes

Tonight we're longing for daylight
Burning the same lie
To find the ghost of you and I

we're running from midnight, dying to ignite
to find the ghost of you and I, yeah

Tonight the fire that we hold inside
It wants to burn so bright
Denied and buried by a thousand eyes
That fight to keep you blind

Tonight we're longing for daylight
Burning the same lie
To find the ghost of you and I

we're running from midnight, dying to ignite
To find the ghost of you and I
To find the ghost of you and I
To find the ghost of you and I

This was the day I feared the most
When all that's left inside
Is a memory and the ghost
Of everything we know... oh!
Yeah the memory of everything we know
And I already know that

Tonight we're longing for daylight
Burning the same lie
To find the ghost of you and I

We're longing for daylight
Burning the same lie
To find the ghost of you and I

we're running from midnight, dying to ignite
To find the ghost of you and I
To find the ghost of you and I
To find the ghost of you and I ...oh!

[Outro Breakdown]


3. I'M ALIVE

In the night I sit alone
Lifeless to the world I know
Faith loss long ago
In this graveyard I'm calling home
Carved into the stone
A diary of broken bones and
Words I should've known

But this grave's too deep to ever make it up
I'd do anything, anything
Just to feel like I could reach the ground

I'd do anything, anything now
To spread these wings somehow
I scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound

I'm alive/But I'm barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground
Lay me down

I'm alive/But I'm barely breathing now
So tread my lungs into the ground
Lay me down

In the night I sit alone
The stars rain on the world below
Beg me to explode

Because these dreams I keep
are nowhere to be found
I'd do anything, anything, just to stop
this weight from pressing down

I'd do anything, anything now
To spread these wings somehow
I scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound

I'm alive/But I'm barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground
Lay me down

I'm alive/But I'm barely breathing now
So tread my lungs into the ground
Lay me down

Deep enough so that I'll never feel again
Far beneath any chance at breaking skin
I'm giving in

All the promise of smiles and happiness
That's a dream I'm not willing to admit

No, I'm not ready yet/To face regret
No, I'm not ready yet/I'm not ready yet

No/No/No

I'd do anything now...
To spread these wings somehow...
I scream these words so loud...
But they never make a sound...

I'm alive/But I'm barely breathing now
So place my heart under the ground
Lay me down

I'm alive/But I'm barely breathing now
Tread my lungs into the ground
Lay me down


4. TO THE BURIAL

Bleed us/Bleed us/For their capital
Lead us/Lead us/To the Burial

Bleed us/Bleed us/For their capital
Lead us/Lead us/To the Burial

[Breakdown]
Yeah!!!

...Yeah, step aside and watch the
Lions roar as they rule with an iron fist
and boundless force

Like a plague
Their epidemic spreads across the floor
Just let me introduce you
To who’s behind that door

A smiling face/With style and grace
They'll show you to the fire

Bleed us/Bleed us/For their capital
Lead us/Lead us/To the Burial

They built their reign of wealth
Through manufactured wars
As they ship all our factories
off to foreign shores

Just to keep their pockets full
and leave the people poor
This is the kind of system
we've been slaving for

Eventually/Like sheep we'll be
Led blindly to the slaughter

Bleed us/Bleed us/For their capital
Lead us/Lead us/To the Burial

Headstone bleeds admiration
A backhanded eulogy
In the face of devastation
Gladly they’ll sing our praise

For a life of slaving
and digging our own graves
Now just let the usher show you
To your final resting place
Yeah, what a disgrace/We are… now!

[Solo]

Just learn to breath/And you will see
Your life is what you make it

Bleed us/Bleed us/For their capital
Lead us/Lead us/To the Burial

Bleed us/Bleed us/For their capital
Lead us/Lead us/To the Burial

...Oh!


5. THE DREAM IS OVER

Let this dagger bury deep
'Cause I'm not afraid to bleed
Through all the spaces in between
Never meant anything

I gave everything I had
To build a promise land
A place where proudly I could stand
This castle made of sand
Is slipping through my hands

The dream is over now
Our hearts have been misguided
Lost somehow

The dream is over now
Our fate has been decided
It's all been lost somehow/It's over now

Is this a blessing or a curse
A message well rehearsed
A means to justify the end
Of only what could have been

Bury every word I've said
In the city of the dead
And drown this masterpiece in red
The color in my head
This tired skin I'll shed

The dream is over now
Our hearts have been misguided
Lost somehow

The dream is over now
Our fate has been decided
It's all been lost somehow/Lost somehow

The waters rushing in
We're fighting over the remains
Of a sea too crowded to repair

We're dying to defend
A feeling that has lost its way
Because our dream's no longer there

[Solo]

The dream is over now
Our hearts have been misguided
Lost somehow

The dream is over now
Our fate has been decided
It's all been lost somehow

It's over now (it's over now)
It's over now (it's over now)

It's over now/Our fate has been decided
It's all been lost somehow/Lost somehow

Yeah it's over now


6. REMEMBER A TIME

Can we open the pages
To remember a time
When the images focused
And the planets were aligned

All the stars up above us
Let us travel through time
They erase all the distance
separating you and I

Now this glass
will get me through the night
As the star goes over, I know I'll be alright

It's no surprise
that the feeling has changed
And the years have slipped away
Through the hands of time

Open your eyes
'cause that promise we made
That our light would never fade
It'll never die

In the light of the morning
In the dark of the night
We were balancing moments
On the thin edge of a knife

Can we dig up forgiveness
where we buried the lies?
Can we fill all the voids
left by the hardest of goodbyes?

It's no surprise
that the feeling has changed
And the years have slipped away
Through the hands of time

Open your eyes
'cause that promise we made
That our light would never fade
It'll never die/Never die

There was a time
when we felt like years away
Somehow we never let hope
or pictures fade

There was a night
when we let go of our fears
Somehow we never disappear

It's no surprise
that the feeling has changed
And the years have slipped away
Through the hands of time

Open your eyes
'cause that promise we made
That our light would never fade
It'll never die

It's no surprise that we all have changed
And the years have slipped away
Through the hands of time

Open your eyes
'cause that promise we made
That our light would never fade
It will never die! Never die!


7. HOLDING ON TO YOU

Another year's gone so fast
Another life becomes the past
Under the weight of dreams
That I never thought would last
Feelings clash

A satellite across the globe
This window seat becomes my home
I lie awake for hours
Staring at the world below

Into the waves again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through by
Holding on to you

Another night just slips away
Wishing the time would let me stay
Stuck in between two lives
that could never be the same

I remain without a chance to say to you
That every word I said was true
I lie awake all night just staring back at you

Into the waves again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
Holding on to you

Just one more day/We'll make it though
Will you still feel the same way that I do?
That I do/No oh
You feel the way I do/No oh

Into the waves again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
Holding on to you

Into the waves again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
So I'm holding on to you

Just one more day
We'll make it through/We'll make it through


8. WON THREW ATE

Blood still pours down onto the page
Pride falls/Rattle we betrayed
Drowning in a flood of inequality

False sell the true meaning of love
Chests swell/Warning from above
Is this the kind of balance
We've been dreaming of?

And now we've had enough/Yeah

'Cause so far there's no such thing
that is true equality
Until a new design comes to set us free
We all/We all/We'll...

...Bleed our voice! Silence writes this song!
Her choice gone and in control!

Hoping that someday she'll learn
To play her role/No control/No control

Your right to speak your mind
will be the next one to go

Just watch it unfolds/Yeah

'Cause so far there's no such thing
that is true equality
Until a new design comes to set us free
We all will bleed

Ignorance a new disease
Prideful insecurities/Fighting to believe

So disregard the suffering
Just let the sounds of freedom ring
Through this air we breathe

[Breakdown:]
All wars are created equal!
All wars are created equal!

Yeah, we will find the answer now
With one more trigger pull! Ah! Yeah!

'Cause so far there's no such thing
that is true equality
Until a new design comes to set us free

We all/We all/ALL WILL BLEED/We'll bleed!


9. TEN YEARS DOWN

Ten years down/Destiny foretold
Senses drown/Dreams are wide and gold

Increase my mind/Beginning to be sold
Sacred ties have never felt so cold

But the introduction never had a name
And all the answers to my questions
never came

But I found my reason to shed my skin
And I'll never say those words again
'Cause I beg for mercy and I cry my sins
But I'll never say those words again
Never again

Ten years found treasure I could hold
Embrace the crown as broken wings unfold

Words divide connected to the soul
Burn inside this disenchanted world

But the introduction never had a name
And all the answers to my questions
never came

But I found my reason to shed my skin
And I'll never say those words again
'Cause I beg for mercy and I cry my sins
But I'll never say those words again
Never again/Never again

Never again will I be the one to hang
on every word you say
And I'll never feel the same
I'll never feel this way

'Cause the introduction never had a name
And all the answers to my questions
Never came/They never came

But I found my reason to shed my skin
And I'll never say those words again
'Cause I beg for mercy and I cry my sins
But I'll never say those words again

But I found my reason to shed my skin
And I'll never say those words again
'Cause I beg for mercy and I cry my sins
But I'll never say
Those words again/Those words again
Never again/Never again


10. TIME GOES ON

The crowd will rise/The sky will fall
A flash of light to bury us all
Woah/Because we are a time bomb
And ashes rain and hide the sun
Of it remains, is what we've done

Woah/Because we are a time bomb
Woah/Just waiting as time goes
on and on, and on and on

Underneath this sky we'll rise and fall
Until our way of life is gone
Underneath it all time still goes
on and on, and on and on, and on

...woah...

A new empire to wear the crown
What we desire will carry us down
Woah/Because we are a time bomb
A life destroyed/A culture lost
One little boy will measure their cost

Woah/Beause we are a time bomb
Woah/Just waiting as time goes
on and on, and on and on

Underneath this sky we'll rise and fall
Until our way of life is gone
Underneath it all time still goes
on and on, and on and on, and on

Time goes on/Time goes on/Time goes on

Yeah/Now lives will be drawn
In the faded memory of
The lives come and gone
But time still goes on

A new day will dawn
And die beneath this sun
For lifetimes to come/Time carries on!

Underneath this sky we'll rise and fall
Until our way of life is gone
Underneath it all time still goes

On and on, and on and on
On and on, and on and on
On and on, and on and on, yeah as
Time goes on/Time goes on


11. EYE FOR AN EYE

In my eyes/Watch the world ignite
watch as we give everything to just be alive
With the fire in our hearts

We'll stand and fight/For the dream inside
Take it back for inspired minds
Lost in the decline because
It's more than words to me/This is our life

Eye for an eye/bring your heart to the fight
'Cause we'll take the whole world
down with us tonight
Eye for an eye/leave your weakness behind
Burn down the lies/eye for an eye

'Til we die/Let the hearts unite/Not for fashion, passing trends, or a sense of pride
Just a love and passion that we hold inside

Now the world is mine
Hold it down for the P.A.C. 'til the day I die
'Cause it's more than blood we bleed
This is our life

Eye for an eye/bring your heart to the fight
'Cause we'll take the whole world
down with us tonight
Eye for an eye/leave your weakness behind
Burn down the lies

Eye for an eye!
Eye for an eye!
Eye for an eye!


BONUS:

12. Your Unsung Friend

Yeah here I am again/My head in my hands
Like a dying sun/I'm a broken man

Please just understand

What I have become/The divided one
With the fail safe plan to be whole again

Please don't bring me your unsung friend

I never wanted this to end
I never wanted this to end

Yeah, would it all remain?
Would it be the same?
If this fading star was without a name?

Please don't be afraid

The blade is cold and it takes its hold
of the wrist again/the want within

Please just take me your unsung friend

I never wanted this to end
I never wanted this
I never wanted this to end

I never wanted this to end
I never wanted this
I never wanted this to end

But the rain is pouring down again
And I can't pretend I am
Strong enough to hold it in

When it all comes crashing down again
I can't pretend
That life will begin/That life will begin

I never wanted this to end...
I never wanted this to end...

I never wanted this to end...
I never wanted this to end...

I never wanted this to end
I never wanted this
I never wanted this to end

I never wanted this to end
I never wanted this
I never wanted this to end

I never wanted this to end
I never wanted this
I never wanted this to end

I never wanted this to end
I never wanted this
I never wanted this to end


13. Tonight We Fall

Blood runs through the valleys of this town
And drags our knees across the ground
We beg for a chance to be set free
And learn to serve their machine

We built this life over broken glass
A plan that's failed for the working class
When a hole has no where left to go
These scars will show

But I'll find my way
Through the darkness down below
And I'll be okay/whoa whoa
These lies we sing leave our
Backs against the wall/The darkness calls

Yes, tonight we fall/Yes, tonight we fall

This spirit spreads like a virus
on these streets
Rendering families incomplete
When faith no longer lights the way
You learn to steal from the grave

When fear collides with hopelessness
There's no more sins left to confess
It's a pain we thought we'd never know
These scars will show

But I'll find my way
Through the darkness down below
And I'll be okay/whoa whoa
These lies we sing leave our
Backs against the wall/The darkness calls

Yes, tonight we fall/Yes, tonight we fall
Tonight we fall!/Yeah we fall!

Down to our hands and knees we crawl

And never really know (never really know)
How good it feels to have it all/oh no

It's a pain we'd thought we'd never know
The scars we thought would never show
The pain we'd thought we'd never know
These scars will show

But I'll find my way
Through the darkness down below
And I'll be okay/whoa whoa
These lies we sing leave our
Backs against the wall/The darkness calls

Yes, tonight we fall
Yes, tonight, tonight we fall

Yes, tonight we fall
Yeah tonight, tonight we fall/oh no
