A Hope for Home
Album • 2010
No rising sun, all is cold The only light held in our eyes: It brings forth a new way of life And we shall burn our pyres when the morning comes Welcome a new age When night falls we know, we will never fear a reckoning again

We've broken the binding chain The earth cannot contain Our arms stretch past the sky Now as gods we all shall rise Exaltation in the least of these We are all that will be Now awake! and find the dream conceived For we are the measure of all This is the dawn of time This is the end of the world We will transcend ourselves And we will conquer them both Our commission sealed the grave Raise your glasses now it is done And with nothing above or below Upon the salted ground we rise This is the dawn of time This is the end of the world We will transcend ourselves And we will conquer them both For we must shed our skin Become as gods in the light If we're to find our own way Rewrite our paths from the start Rise up as gods Rise up Adorned as gods

Oh, what a wide world to conquer It rests in the palm of our hands The lines blur between corruption and where we sit upon our thrones And we draw blood as if it's our right to, but is it our right to? We've been swaying for centuries And we've dug in our roots As we drink up the sea of divinity But we can't seem to shed our afflictions What pitiful deities we make If we can't reach beyond ourselves Such lowly gods we create When we only believe in what our hands can touch and our eyes can see We've been swaying for centuries And we've dug in our roots As we drink up the sea of divinity But we can't seem to shed our afflictions What pitiful deities we make If we can't reach beyond ourselves Such lowly gods we create When we only believe in what our hands can touch and our eyes can see What our eyes can see We are withering branches We are sick and dying vines Oh, what a wide world to conquer It falls apart in our hands

There's no way out of this No light No hope Put out the fire that burned so bright No truth No home My footprints on the sand are cleared with morning's tide For nothing will remain All will subside But there must be something more There must be something more The darkest clouds will fall All meaning laid to waste They tell me there's no hope No light to guide the way If these shells of skin and bone are all we have Then I refuse to stand and watch the fire die inside Die inside

Under a dim lit sky shadows marched like statues Darkness was coursing throughout their veins And light shone from their eyes As it was all they had But it was not enough to light their way A silent march into awaiting graves Turned my back against the night Toward the hope that there's a place where truth abides For here we're left to wonder why We douse the flame and there is nothing left inside We have become as the ravens Mighty in number and blocking out the sun The sun Here my will could never contend Is this not cold and bent? Where does my volition fit in? Where? Too weak to wade amongst the dead Too tired to stand amongst the rest So face the sky and tell me how you gauge living in vain Show me the crooked and bent The shape of contempt We've buried the flame But I contend to dig it up again

I stand I stand and turn my back I stand I stand and turn my back I stand I stand and turn my back Turn and face the road ahead To the unknown that lays fast in my stead

For too long I have lived in a confounded state of being With nothing to lessen the sting of knowing that all toil and gain Is just the ebb and flow of time Was it all a lie? We fail every time we let this fear inside Reason given way to overarching pride Crossing ageless lines Blind men led the way We hold to whatever makes us safe As if truth was all too much to take We crawl like shadows in the night The illusion fades with morning's light We will fail every time we let this fear inside We must open our hearts to look beyond ourselves Then we'll understand that all of us can see everything as day A light to guide the way A reason for today We say Are these the words of God or reflections of mine? Will I find that path or just circle around damned to the unknown?

And with arms outstretched and hope intact I fix my gaze to the stars above I can't feel their warmth burning on my skin But still they shine with no need to question them

We've conquered everything These minds and these machines By our hands the earth stops its spin And with our will it begins again But our first breath is as our last But our first breath is as our last And will the heavens still shine without our gaze? And will the seasons still pass if there is no one to count the days? We fade like the summer leaves in fall Then drift with the winters wind And still we thought that we were gods But we're nothing more Than a grain of sand in time We've conquered everything These minds and these machines By our hands the earth stops its spin And with our will it begins again But when the mountains turn to dust And the rivers all run dry When my final breath has come and gone This place Will carry on We are nothing more than grains of sand on the shores of time

Can this be my only home? Plains of dust and rising seas I'll release the bonds But will this set me free? Awake Climb All will fade In time we will understand That all we can see is not The end to all that will be Mistaken for the final rest The collapse of lungs and one last breath All reveals the trail to a door ahead Collect consciousness Prepare to tread Endless voids

Past life and frailty Light pours its way through me Revealing more than alchemy And the truth behind all that we see In time we will understand This is not the end to all that will be
