|In this struggle Are we dead or alive? Freedom is not existence It's why we survive Shake our grief Hold on to belief It can't enslave us forever There is relief No change will be permanent Our strength enduring bright incandescent Take a chance before we fall Backs against the wall And the sun will rise Dawn will break through the blackest night Distant in its glow This shall pass be still and know And there's heartache As we search to connect Even just for a moment Pretend we're content There is love Know that we are one We are all in this together Weather the storm Look into each other's eyes Make the connection before it dies It will all disseminate As we consummate And the sun will rise Dawn will break through the blackest night Distant in its glow This shall pass be still and know Is it hopeless? Will the fear take control? Don't succumb to the numbing Sting of defeat Take this hate Let the bile stagnate Hoist the head of goliath Bask in its grace Stars realign in the sky Glaciers will melt and the oceans rise Waves will come crashing ashore But withstand the roar And the sun will rise Dawn will break through the blackest night Distant in its glow This shall pass be still and know

Sweet caress Grazes my skin It's loveless These hooks sink in Behind an angel's disguise An insect preys Mandibles cut like a knife The reckoning Forming clouds Their shadow shrouds Louder than tattered wings they sound Descending down Down they come The swarm of locusts Skies above Converge to choke us Feast of souls Consume the harvest Young and old Suffer unto the locust Surrender These veins are bled Devoured Nothing sacred Strings pull the marionettes See how they dance Upon the winds that beget Our pestilence Forming clouds Their shadow shrouds Louder the tattered wings they sound Descending down Down they come The swarm of locusts Skies above Converge to choke us Feast of souls Consume the harvest Young and old Suffer unto the locust Bleeding from my eyes This plague is sent to erase us Bleeding from inside These vermin can't infiltrate us Faith appears and holds a candle Hark the angels sing Forming clouds Their shadow shrouds Louder than tattered wings they sound Tear the veil The lies derail Purity ever will prevail Trumpets sound The shattered crown Halos of truth now they surround The charade comes down Down they come The swarm of locusts Skies above Converge to choke us Feast of souls Consume the harvest Young and old Suffer unto the locust

This ends now This ends now And i don't care about last year Won't be afraid of what the future holds can't fear Want not the past and the safety it brings It doesn't mean anything We've come too far There's no going back now Bring on the future with an open embrace Memories i will erase Memories i will erase This is the end This is the end of chasing dreams gone by Ever-long is this goodbye and this This is the end This is the end of our respect denied Stand with us or stand aside Only now do you pretend to care about this You suffocated everything that came between us Took every condescending barb and sting I don't owe you anything So here we stand Farewell is forever And if you think that its a joke or a lie Look me in these blackened eyes Look me in these blackened eyes This is the end This is the end of chasing dreams gone by Ever-long is this goodbye and this This is the end This is the end of our respect denied Stand with us or stand aside Bastards you bastards May you suffer oh so long Bastards you bastards so long Brothers my brothers Why have you forsaken thee Brothers my brothers So be Deny those that will never accept Empty words are just regrets Let go the bile that your soul has amassed With this let die be cast This is the end This is the end of chasing dreams gone by Ever-long is this goodbye and this This is the end This is the end of our respect denied Stand with us or stand aside

|Here in the darkness that i lay Depression heavy in its weigh And how my body aches to leave To sing its final eulogy My sons i love you evermore And though the road beckons once more I see the damage that i've done In search for redemption But i am just a broken man Whose souls cries out to understand How the madness shatters me Upon the stage on bended knee I scream out loud at skies above That answer mute bereft in love I struggle not to fall from grace Or sing the hymns of my disgrace We build cathredrals to our pain Establish monuments to attain Freedom from all of the scars and the sins Lest we drown in the darkness within Mysterys forgotten chords I strum in vain to please the lord But he has never answered me My faith has waned eternally In empty men who pass along The woes of all religions wrong But now the shadowed veil it falls Heed the clarion call So pray to music build a shrine Listen in these desperate times Fill your heart with every note Cherish it and cast afloat Because god is in these clef and tone Salvation is found alone Haunted by its melody Music it will set you free Let it set you free We build cathredrals to our pain Establish monuments to attain Freedom from all of the scars and the sins Lest we drown in the darkness within Music my saviour (save me) We build cathredrals to our pain Establish monuments to attain Freedom from all of the scars and the sins Lest we drown in the darkness within

Lie in this state Of perdition Never to awake It negates An admission Stricken by fate There's no salvation it dwells in your bones There's no remission this sickness it owns Make love to denial her sober embrace Nails they've embedded never to release In madness we shall reign Down out In madness we shall reign Hail mary our divine Littered souls across a great divide In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine I numb it down Heavens fleeting kiss envelops thee It surrounds So in vain we stab at the beast Count the 12 times you step equal 12 times you fail No abstination relapse tip the scale As you swallow the hook And you chew on the line Choke on the sinker In this sea of lies In madness we shall reign Hail mary our divine Littered souls across a great divide In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine Broke vows and broken rosaries Bind these rusted hopeless dreams Broke vows and broken rosaries Bind these rusted hands in prayer Faith trust and love are mowed down lonely In these killing fields Deep in the throes of addiction Now my blood's running black My fixation is caught in its clutches As the sun sets on my soul In endless twilight It is eclipsed Hail mary our divine Littered souls across a great divide In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine Slowly we dance with temptation Good intentions are sold For the price of fool's gold and sedation Take now this demon by its hand And slice it off Hail mary our divine Littered souls across a great divide In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine Take the ache beneath my bones Peel the skin away and leave my body exposed No grace awaits this broken soul

This is who we are This is what i am We have nowhere else to go Divided we will stand We are the ugly Beaten and torn Brooding with power and ready for more We are the hungry Sick of this world Of robbers of thieving Of vultures unfurled We have been left on our own Be all the lost longing for home We are the unwanted lives Strung out and angry the deprived We are the young And young at heart The strong and the brave that are destined to start We are the change The world needs to see Look in our eyes and see our belief This is who we are This is what i am We have nowhere else to go Divided we will stand We are the broken Meant to be left Damaged and headless like dolls in a chest We are the future Seeds that you've sown In dirt that won't ever grow turns now to stone We have been hung out to dry We are the drunken We are the high We despise this human race Look in our eyes and sell your disgrace This is who we are This is what i am We have nowhere else to go Divided we will stand Dream Into glory we will ride Be unbridled in determination burn the seasons Into glory we will ride Be unbridled in determination Burn the seasons We are the savage Meant to be brought to justice To be thrown in jail and left to rot We are the other american dream Whose characters fight for their lives And they scream We have been left disavowed Those of the black Not of the shroud We won't hear religious lies Their god has left us to die This is who we are This is what i am We have nowhere else to go Divided we will stand This is who we are This is what i am We have nowhere else to go Divided we will stand
