Something is growing inside me
I feel it scratching deep within
I can hear my bones crack under the strain
My life will never be the same again
I can feel it burning at my core
Pain addicted, and I want it more and more
You'd better take a backward step
I've just got started and I'm way out of my depth
I feel the rage rise up to my throat
I try to scream but, all I do is choke
I lash out as the pain it takes my life
When I emerge, I'll be ready for the fight
I can feel it burning at my core
Pain addicted, and I want it more and more
You'd better take a backward step
I've just got started and I'm way out of my depth
I try to flex, it all seems new
My past is done, my future comes into view
I used to wonder how hard I should try
I used to crawl but, now I can fly
I can feel it burning at my core
Pain addicted, and I want it more and more
You'd better take a backward step
I've just got started and I'm way out of my depth

Warmth
04:48
|
|||
|
Warmth is all I know
In the darkness there's room to grow
Sounds can filter through
There is only me and you
Movement I can sense
I respond with my fists clenched
Butterflies they dance within
Our bond will now begin
You've been taught that all of life is sacred
Yet you destroy the helpless and the naked
Time and again you take the selfish choice
Silence the innocent before they have a voice
Some would try to tear us apart
Rip me away and break your heart
Where you begin I have no end
My life it starts with the love you send
The morals that you hold deny you the higher ground
Compassion you believe you have in truth cannot be found
I challenge you to justify your convictions
But your empty words are full of contradictions
Some would try to tear us apart
Rip me away and break your heart
Where you begin I have no end
My life it starts with the love you send

Bones
04:50

You can break my bones
You can trample this body of mine
You can leave me in the dirt
You can bring down all this hurt
But you'll never own my mind
I will resist all of your decrees
I will live my life, my way
You can send in your thugs
You can mandate your drugs
But I will never be afraid
You ask me to walk away
You tell me to leave it be
You say that I'm the bigger man
But, that's not who I am
It's not who I am
I may be small but my voice is loud
I'm not afraid to stand out from the crowd
I will look you in the eye
Tell you what I think
You can bet your life that I won't even blink
You can control the news
You can poison me from the skies
You can tell me it's black
when I know that it's white
I'll never believe your lies
We will stand up and stare you down
Our resolve will outlast you all
Together we've fought
Against all that you've brought
We're not divided so we can not fall
You ask me to walk away
You tell me to leave it be
You say that I'm the bigger man
But, that's not who I am
It's not who I am
I may be small but my voice is loud
I'm not afraid to stand out from the crowd
I will look you in the eye
Tell you what I think
You can bet your life that I won't even blink

Foundlings
07:22
|
|||
|
The train pulled into the station
The foundlings had arrived
To replenish the population
To replace the ones that had died
Tartaria’s loss is our gain
That’s what the man in the suit proclaimed
But it makes no sense at all
What we had, why did it fall?
All this hell that we've endured
Was it really natural
We must always remember
This time is all we have together
What came before
What lies beyond
Can turn on a dime in a matter of moments
Always remember
As we move ahead to something new
The challenge we face
Those lost without trace
The flood when it came in a matter of moments
So the slate is completely wiped clean
We have to start again
Our life before was just a dream
We must tell the next generation
Keep our stories alive
What we lost and how we survived
We must always remember
This time is all we have together
What came before
What lies beyond
Can turn on a dime in a matter of moments
Always remember
As we move ahead to something new
The challenge we face
Those lost without trace
The flood when it came in a matter of moments

Enemy
03:31
|
|||
|
We have a common enemy
They have a common goal
We focus on our differences
While they rip out our hearts and they steal our souls
They can push our buttons
We all argue amongst ourselves
They infiltrate the news and they feed us all our views
They'll have us building our own prison cells
You know It's gonna get worse before it gets much worse
You know we've gotta believe that we can put this big machine into reverse
You think you have all the answers
What you think you've just been told
Your truth is rubber stamped by their proof
Hide your shock as it all unfolds
I will admit my failings
I can tell you I'm not always right
They shout really loud whenever I'm wrong
Keep us in conflict so we can not fight
You know It's gonna get worse before it gets much worse
You know we've gotta believe that we can put this big machine into reverse
So here's the lesson of the day
Our differences are small
We have to agree to disagree
We have to answer a bigger call
Forever we are distracted
Sometimes they scare, sometimes entertain
But all the while they've pushed us down
We must be free of their domain
You know It's gonna get worse before it gets much worse
You know we've gotta believe that we can put this big machine into reverse

Decay
04:59
|
|||
|
It seems pointless but we have to try
Raise your voices to the sky
Force them to hear our battle cry
Rally round your family
Stand against insanity
Reclaim our humanity
With the time that remains
There's time enough to make a change
Though evil holds the reins
We're strong enough to change the game
We appear to have lost our way
We've allowed the madness to rise to the top
While so many get lead astray
There's enough of us, we can bring it to a stop
With the time that remains
There's time enough to make a change
Though evil holds the reins
We're strong enough to change the game
Together we focus our gaze
We know their names, they never hide it
We can drag ourselves free of decay
The world can be as we always dreamed it
With the time that remains
There's time enough to make a change
Though evil holds the reins
We're strong enough to change the game

Level
05:10

White horses they run towards us
Jagged rocks attempt to break us
But the wind will drop
The sun will shine
Water finds it’s level
And you are mine
It's a very large world indeed
And it gets bigger every day
It's all to easy to see how we can all get lost
How so many get lead astray
We all know the path we should take
We all know the wrong from the right
It's much harder to be real than it is to fake
To leave the darkness for the light
Make a choice
White horses they run towards us
Jagged rocks attempt to break us
But the wind will drop
The sun will shine
Water finds it’s level
And you are mine
When I need someone to push me on
To the goals I set myself
I look to you to guide me through
There can be nobody else
The ocean is wide and it is very deep
But it holds no fear for me or you
As we leave the land so far behind
Our ship will sail straight and true
We've made our choice
White horses they run towards us
Jagged rocks attempt to break us
But the wind will drop
The sun will shine
Water finds it’s level
And you are mine

Oblivious
03:37
|
|||
|
As I lived my life
Consumed by self-indulgence
I could not see beyond my walls
I did not know what was important
But something changed in me
I became aware of another
I realised that happiness
Came from giving everything I own away
I was blind to the world around me
To the beauty that shaped me
To the love that saved me
Oblivious to the arms that held me
To the truth that drove me
To the kindness you showed me

Gemini
04:15

We were known as the twins of Sparta
Blessed by the Gods, loved by our Mother and Father
One was immortal, he stood strong and tall
One a great horseman, the fastest of all
We set out across the ocean deep
With the Argonauts we sought the golden fleece
We joined their quest to prove our strength
We'll follow Jason to the very end
Gemini
Never die
Stay with me throughout time
Love so strong
Can't break our bonds
Live with stars forever long
Our sister could launch a thousand ships
She was stolen away by an evil Prince
Together with Jason and the Argonauts
The Spartan Empire emptied its ports
For ten long years the battle was fought
We struggled to breach the city walls
The war was won with with the gift of a horse
But a tragic end, one Brother was lost
Gemini
Never die
Stay with me throughout time
Love so strong
Can't break our bonds
Live with stars forever long

Change

You and me we're not the same
Point the finger look for someone to blame
Look in the mirror and make a change
Because you're wrong
