i am your inner fear your kind refuse to hear i am the light i am the way but the fallacies of man are easy to embrace anf i, in purest form i always weather every storm And though you fail to see the truth is the path that leeds to me chorus: mankind's dishonesty lays them to waste i am the truth, and i walk alone human hypocrisy exacting their fate i am the truth, and i walk alone the flaws in your design are breeding fear inside your mind and lies lead to disgrace a failure to reform the failed human race chorus

Screaming in agony Cries fill the air Eyes once full of hope Shedding tears of despair All that they've ever known is dead Fire reigns from above Iron birds of dread All that they ever loved is dead All that they ever dreamt is dead Yet there's a glint of hope If the chosen can survive In secret the ten thousand hide East in the mountains The chosen bide their time The Clouding, our strike on mankind Temples are burning Streets soaked with blood Heed the prophecy Destiny is done All that they ever loved is dead All that they ever dreamt is dead Yet there's a glint of hope If the chosen can survive In secret the ten thousand hide East in the mountains The chosen bide their time The Clouding, our strike on mankind

As I awake I have no memory of this Who I am, where I'm from, why do I exist? This strange beauty surrounds me But where I am confounds me I see others who appear the same as me A look of loss in their eyes, adrift aimlessly What's the point? What does it all mean? Who am I? Show me a purpose please Take this sense of wonder Make it go away Please tell me I am not alone and lost here That there is something that's made me feel this way Take this sense of sadness Make it go away Please give me something that's familiar A friendly touch, a memorable embrace I try to speak but empty eyes stare back at me Twisted tongues segregate, factions are forming I'll stay with those that resemble me To survive this harsh reality As the days pass most have gone their own way Nomadic tribes discover life On a world that seems so strange But still I want answers What's the point? What does all this mean? Take this sense of wonder Make it go away Please tell me I am not alone and lost here That there is something that's made me feel this way Take this sense of sadness Make it go away Please give me something that's familiar A friendly touch, a memorable embrace Lies, the human core is lies We wiped their minds, cleaned the slate The Clouding did divide Fate, we sealed human fate Now they're ours throughout all time To manipulate Never trust in the motives of man They failed to evolve in Mother Nature's plan And though they seem safe In this early clouded state The nature of their heresy Has proven quite innate Pain, mankind will know pain For their crimes on our kind They'll never be the same Death, they will know death Suffering for centuries At war with every breath Never trust in the motives of man They failed to evolve in Mother Nature's plan And though they seem safe In this early clouded state The nature of their heresy Has proven quite innate

[Verse 1:] I must believe that what's a memory now Was the only way To know that all of those you love Were just stripped away And now if I'm the one to lead us To a brand new day At peace I must be with the brutal truth, To truly lead the way [Chorus:] Please, God give me The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep) Bring the sorrow The fuel I need (It's my Charge to Keep) Please, God give me The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep) Bring the sorrow The fuel I need (It's my Charge to Keep) [Verse 2:] Now we must wipe the tears away, Gather up our inner strength The loss of those we can't replace, Will bring about their fate And though many lifetimes it will take, To bring justice on the way We must never falter, We must never fail, This is our Charge To Keep... (Chorus) Please, God give me The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep) Bring the sorrow The fuel I need (It's my Charge to Keep) Please, God give me The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep) Bring the sorrow The fuel I need (It's my Charge to Keep) [Solo] (Chorus) Please, God give me The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep) Bring the sorrow The fuel I need (It's my Charge to Keep) Please, God give me The strength to lead (It's my Charge to Keep) Bring the sorrow The fuel I need It's my Charge to Keep
