Beyond the Martyrs
1914, in voyage from England 28 cast their fear to the gods Poised to conquer the frost covered base of the Earth At 6 moths ensnared in a solid sea prison Men and ship are beset on all sides Abandon all hope - what the ice gets it keeps for its own To the lifeboat, the James Caird, went six men For 17 days facing Poseidon's wrath On the shores of South Georgia they settled at last Now to traverse the hazardous landscape Over mountains and glaciers they'd fight Into Stromness where hope was now finally in sight So far away - we lost no faith - in unity. my bravery, in honor As one we'd live, as one we'd die and by endurance we conquered 1916 on August the 30 28 reunited again Against all the odds they had outrun the cold clutch of death So far away - we lost no faith - in unity. my bravery, in honor As one we'd live, as one we'd die and by endurance we conquered

What measure a man's worth When honor steals away and break from his beliefs? Left clutching at nothing No handholds as he falls into the grasp of grief There is no peace, there is no peace, there is no peace To crawl as a blind man As upon shards of glass, this field of broken faith Each cut scars forever Remembrance of the Soul who feared not darker days There is no peace, there is no peace, there is no peace There is no, there is no, there is no peace beyond the line There is no, there is no, there is no peace beyond the line There is no, there is no, there is no peace beyond the line There is no, there is no, there is no peace beyond the line

The hands of time are bleeding Drawing the hours from me This once vital heart no longer beats Darkness I do beseech you Obscure this world from me For these forlorn eyes wish not to see Blind My Eyes Blind My Heart Dreams that once fed my spirit As dust crumble in my hands Hopeless I fall a broken man Darkness I do entreat you Obscure the light for me It's far out of reach and tortures me Blind My Eyes Blind My Heart Dark, Dark blind my eyes, Dark blind my heart, take all this pain from me Dark, Dark blind my eyes, Dark blind my heart, take all this pain from me Dark, Dark blind my eyes, Dark blind my heart, take all this pain from me Dark, Dark blind my eyes, Dark blind my heart, take all this pain from me

We reached into the obscure To change the course of the world Now I'm become death, destroyer of worlds At once the birth of a sun Beauty and horror as one A triumph for knowledge but yet what have we gained? A pathway to peace or the door to the world's pain? Batter my heart three personed god In Trinity we altered the world Now I'm become death, destroyer of worlds

This darkened world is collapsing on me I've fought to hold it at bay but my back is breaking Traversing paths I can no longer see Four candles burn in the dark And they're all that's guiding me I fear the choice that lie before me I fear I have not the strength to return from Hell's path They hold the key to the goodness in me Four candles burn through the black And they're all that's saving me And should the shadows claim me To walk the halls of nevermore My heart with you remaining Undying love And should the shadows claim me To walk the halls of nevermore My heart with you remaining Undying love Undying love

Baptized in pity's robes I've failed to dam the rising tide of fear Unmoving and unmoved your words of hope have fallen on deaf ears I'll burn our bridge behind to ash Alone I seek the coward's path Repelled by outstretched arms, that seek to lift me up and pull me in And in futility they learn to loose the soul that pushes against them I'll burn each bridge I've built to ash Alone I descend the coward's path Deep seated origins, the need for isolation, the need to run away To hide eternally to draw the shades on painful hurt to keep the truth at bay To shroud myself in this, adorned in resignation, inside a silent shell To shroud myself in this, in this my purgatory, in this my living hell I can't let you in

Hell - hear the coming storm - your heart seething The walls quickly closing in - and you're paralyzed No return to simpler times - only forward No path forward through the past - nor through anger Cast out all raging spirits tonight Cast out all demons lurking inside Regret - it will eat away - at life's marrow Your blood poisoned now with bitterness - it's your prison No one else will halt your fall - you must break it No one else will hold your heart - you must heal it Cast out all raging spirits tonight Cast out all demons lurking inside Absolution - exorcism of the self Dissolution - of the hell in which you dwell
