We'll be a million faces A generation lost A path of self destruction The Taurus runs amok Trading greener pastures For silver-tinted suns This threat bestowed upon us Will only strengthen us Don't look back A new life's waiting All not saved will be lost You'll see a million faces Fleeing the motherland in droves Who knows if we will make it? To that place we'll someday call home The straw won't break the camel's back When our backs are up against the wall Under the cover of your darkness And so our plight endeavors on Don't look back A new life's waiting All not saved will be lost If it's a nowhere road We'll find salvation Somewhere in Avalon On the journey with no distance To a place that we never left And the suffering is how we overcome And we question everything we know In searching for Avalon Our ambition is how we learn to fail Don't look back A new life's waiting (Cleansing the slate or running from your past) All not saved is lost (All not saved is lost) Don't slow down on this nowhere road (New life awaits when you reach Avalon) Where we all belong

It's time to wake up and die or regenerate You're never gonna retire your power games Power games, no Slip from the scene of the crime like a rattlesnake From all this deafening silence I walk away Walk away, walk away, oh In the red and the grey I'm the sage on a ship of fools There's a tear in the rain, momentary pain I will feel till the end of the road To be born falling into line or fall like dominos? We fall like dominos In the blink of a spark When the links to our past ignite Burning half as long as the fire in my soul That is blazing twice as bright Paper dreams wouldn't change anything I would hurt the ones I love To protect the ones I loathe It's time to wake up and die or regenerate If you're part of me, quit me now We're never gonna reform if we replicate Replicate, replicate, no I'm reaching my breaking point Object of my affection Am I still drunk on the memory of us? How instant our connection Perfected then lost A room without a view A version of the truth Is all I am to you I'd flee if I wanted to Retire from being used Even if I could bleed All you would see Is the alphabet of me What more can one do When years define you? It's time to wake up and die or regenerate If you're part of me, quit me now We're never gonna reform if we replicate Replicate, replicate, no I'm reaching my breaking point I feel it's time to move on But we're all in a state of retrograde Ride the anarchy, live your truth Object of my affection Am I still drunk on the memory of us? How instant our connection Perfected then lost

No perception of passing time The words struggle to escape her mind New perspectives to redefine Birdsong awakens her from the storm Shuffle the sequence of old paradigms The rhyme and metre still misaligned Another page lay burning in the fire The ink and the feather hold their secrets well Nightingale I dream in daylight One fateful night Unspoken binds unravelled I'm ever of the chosen My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by my inner totem Poetic justice arriving after all When characters and places start to form A sullen emperor endures his requiem Can he live with this lament? A mechanical animal A dangerous game That clockwork song it sings Will send you to your grave Now heed the nightingale's cautionary tale Away, away, for I will fly to thee One fateful night Unspoken binds unravelled I'm ever of the chosen My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by my inner totem One fateful night Unspoken binds unravelled I'm ever of the chosen My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by the totem inside Dig in with your claws I push my talons into your skin Heal me with your song You are forgiven for all your sins Dig in with your claws Sleep now in blissful anaesthesia Heal me with your song Still no perception of passing Nightingale I dream in daylight Nightingale mine See me take flight One fateful night Unspoken binds unravel me My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by the totem One fateful night Unspoken binds unravel me My signal fire still burning I feel like I'm guided by the totem
