Norchestrion - A Song for the End

Pave the way, and I will follow you there I'm right behind you Endless lack of reason We've lost sense of wrong and right Is there anybody listening To the emptiness inside Voices, noises coming through That no one seems to filter What am I supposed to do I trust you know the truth so Pave the way and I will follow you there I'm right behind you I can't wait to dive into the unknown If I have you to guide me Every day's a nightmare From which I'm longing to wake up Hordes that feast on slander We're being fed up, fed up, fed up And still the noise is cutting through The answer's right before you Pave the way and I will follow you there I'm right behind you I can't wait to dive into the unknown If I have you to guide me Voices, noises coming through That no one seems to filter What are we supposed to do I trust you know the truth so Pave the way and I will follow you there I'm right behind you I can't wait to dive into the unknown If I have you to guide me

Give me one more try before I lose my sight Before I lose the grip of what is holding me in line Feel me one last time before I lose my mind A silent touch, a final grasp of what is real I'm hoping to find that something that helps create emotion What is the drug that binds us forever be alone Bending the rules and sailing all helpless in this ocean Feeling this hole inside me has now become the norm...no...no Crawling for so long in the ruins of my temple Dreaming I found home, woke up screaming, lost and all alone I need one more day before all this goes away (Be)fore the answers are lost and I'm choking on words that could once have saved me Trying so hard to make some sense of my inclination Cling to my past for signs that can make me become whole I have become a slave unto my own expectations Still I repeat the cycle that brought me to my knees so I'm crawling for so long in the ruins of my temple Dreaming I found home, wake up screaming, lost and all alone One last try before I lose my mind One more day before all this goes away Let go of this deception Break free of my expectations Make sense of my direction Just follow my inclination

I've become so I've become so I see the world through the eyes of all who came before me Like I've absorbed all their suffering Now expectations and dreams failed All come back to haunt me Looking back I remember The bleeding, the things we left unsaid Misleading all our hopes When I look around me I can see the empire falling It's crashing down before me All I ever longed for pieces of myself exploding, burning me I've become so dark, so dark and sinister We've implicitly failed to face the consequences We let our own void enslave us We've allowed for the hate to numb and kill our senses I wish I could not remember The bleeding, the things we left unsaid Misleading all our hopes When I look around me I can see the empire falling It's crushing down before me All I ever longed for pieces of myself exploding, burning me I've become so dark, so dark and sinister

Hear their cries at night, their howling echoes as we're sailing onward Paddling underneath a pitch black sky We gave up our days for what we thought would be the future Life in promised land but now we all are slaves What went wrong, cannot be undone Who's to blame, we are all the same Waiting for the dawn, what have we become Follow blindly what we're told, lost and tortured souls Now is it too late to go back or we're doomed and we're slowly just wasting away Deadly silence now, we finally realized that hope has vanished And our dreams of greatness were all lies We ripped off our sails completely blinded by the greed they planted in our hearts When we were young and frail What went wrong, cannot be undone Who's to blame, we are all the same Waiting for the dawn (waiting for the dawn), what have we become Follow blindly what we're told, lost and tortured souls Now is it too late to go back or we're doomed and we're slowly just wasting away A sign of hope that breaks the violence A single dream of love, an act of bold defiance I'm left alone to scream in silence I open up my eyes and find that I'm still here Waiting for the dawn, what have we become Follow blindly what we're told, lost and tortured souls Now it is too late to go back we're all doomed and we're slowly just wasting away Away

[Voice 1:] What are you still doing here? [Voice 2:] Dunno, sitting? I'm still sitting. Sitting still is what I'm doing. [Voice 1:] I can see that. But no one just sits. [Voice 2:] You underestimate the one-dimensionality of people. And I do enjoy the view. [Voice 1:] I don't care about the view or people. I do care about you. [Voice 2:] Well, in that case I'm sitting and waiting, I guess. [Voice 1:] Waiting for what? [Voice 2:] The end? [Voice 1:] The end is not coming, it's all nonsense. [Voice 2:] Is it now? [Voice 1:] Well, there was all that talk about the world ending back in 2012, remember? And several times before that... [Voice 2:] I sure do, but what if it did? [Voice 1:] Did what? End? [Voice 2:] Yes. [Voice 1:] Well, for starters that would make this conversation post-apocalyptic. [Voice 2:] I hate it when you make fun of me. [Voice 1:] Apologies. Do go on. [Voice 2:] What if the end doesn't last for a moment but for thirty or fifty or two-hundred years and instead of meteor strikes and mountains of fire all we got was gift certificates, discount cards and vouchers. Instead of poison light raining from the skies we're stuck with this ever-growing ocean of plastic and a barren tapestry of empty candy wrappers, used condoms and useless souvenirs. [Voice 1:] Who are you? [Voice 2:] That's a rather personal question. Who are you? [Voice 1:] Well, I have no idea. [Voice 2:] Then that makes two of us. [Voice 1:] But what do we do? [Voice 2:] Let's go hiking. [Voice 1:] Nah, I'd rather sit still for once. [Voice 2:] Are you turning into me? [Voice 1:] You just said you don't know who you are, so we're maybe just both turning into something else. [Voice 2:] Like what? [Voice 1:] Maybe we're just two blind orchestrions with no sheet music left to play. [Voice 2:] I don't read music. [Voice 1:] No one should. It's better to flow into it, I think. [Voice 2:] But these things take time. [Voice 1:] Well, we have all the time in the world. [Voice 2:] Will you hold my hand when the end comes? [Voice 1:] No, perv. Be a man for once. [Voice 2:] A man? Out of all the things to be I think I'd rather be. [Both voices:] Human.

Now we're gone, tried for so long The zero won they took control Now we're gone, what went so wrong? I'm so damn tired, my words feel numb Left to mourn, what will that solve Now we're gone, what went wrong We're the new age, you've become obscure We don't tire, we're invincible Holding on to something that can make me belong Holding on to nothing, reaching out for so long Hope is my opium, never trust a dreamer New found odium, there's a new way of things now Wondering what will be the end of this Praise the worm, praise the new god We're the war, praise the new god I fear what's become of us Time will tell if we were weak or we were strong The tears raining down on us need to wash the sins we've carried all along I fear what's become of us are we down or are we done I fear we're down, we're done I do believe there 'll come a wave To finally thrash it all away and all the lies we've come to know Will be the prize for all to show Feel the new rage, it's the modern cure Never tire, we're unstoppable Holding on to nothing, reaching out for so long Hope is my opium, never trust a dreamer New found odium, there's a new way of things now Wondering what will be the end of this Praise the worm, praise the new god We're the war, praise the new god Now we're gone, tried for so long I'm beat and worn, I lost control Now we're gone, what went so wrong? My hopes expired, I'm so damn tired Lost the war, what was it all for? Now we're gone, now we're gone

I understand that I'm becoming much less than a man I'm so tired, I need a helping hand To pull me back to my own feet again I am just so tired to feel I'll reclaim myself to deny this Feeling of despair that breeds inside me Tear my life to shreds just to find me Open up again one last time now 'fore I lose myself in a perfect circadian pace 'n' I find myself in a perfect circadian pace 'n' I lose my, find my, lose myself in a perfect circadian pace 'n' I lose my, find my, lose myself I try to hide from all the things that live inside my mind Clutch at straws 'n' feeling left behind Try to run but end up more confined Still I am just too tired to heal I'll reclaim myself to deny this Feeling of despair that breeds inside me I'll reclaim myself to deny this Feeling of despair that breeds inside me Tear my life to shreds just to find me Open up again one last time now 'fore I lose myself in a perfect circadian pace 'n' I find myself in a perfect circadian pace 'n' I lose my, find my, lose myself in a perfect circadian pace 'n' I lose my, find my, lose myself in a perfect circadian Perfect circadian pace I'm too tired to find my way home Sick and tired of doing this on my own Sinking further down into this hole I'm too tired to find my way home Lose myself, find my way I'm too tired to find my way home Sick and tired of doing this on my own Sinking further down into this hole I'm too tired to find my way home I'm too tired to find my way home (Lose myself) Sick and tired of doing this on my own (Find my way) Sinking further down into this hole (Lose my way) I'm too tired to find my way home (Find myself) I'm too tired to find my way home I'm too tired to find my way home Lose my way, find myself

Walking blind outside the stream Hoping time will mend One last smile to drown the scream Dream before the end Struggling on through years of pain I make my final stand Breathing out one last refrain A song before the end Heading towards the end my knees are trembling No need to pretend Scared of what I've become Give it all I am, I'm hoping, hoping Someday what remains the essence of fights we won Silence and lost hope they crumble and now I'm breaking free Sending out a signal just to let you know my time is running out I need to push on harder, give it all I got And all the burdens of the past will be the fuel to drive me on So I burst my lungs, I'm screaming out now Born, found a reason to hold on Rite of passage for me No time to waste, I'm coming home Back to where I belong Once again I'm feeling down Fear and broken smiles all around Who'll be there to stay and fight Who'll be there to help shed some light Once again I'm feeling down Fear and broken smiles all around Who'll be there to stay and fight Who'll be there to help shed some light Twisting, turning, my life is burning While I'm still waiting for a glimpse of change to come Twisting, turning, my life is burning While I'm still waiting for a glimpse of change to come Twisting, turning, my life is burning While I'm still waiting for a sense of change to come Waiting for a sign of light Twisting, turning, my life is burning While I'm still waiting for a sense of change to come Waiting for a sign of light to come Cornered and vilified Watching the years go by While we've been struggling Giving it one last try Singing a thousand times Like saying one last goodbye What if it's all a lie Lost what we're trying to find Still we keep pushing Instants of glimmering light Still for a thousand times We sing our last goodbye We sing our last goodbye We sing our last goodbye Walk with me, see the things I see, walk with me Walk with me, see the things I see, walk with me Someday what remains the essence of fights we won Silence and lost hope they crumble and now I'm only Sending out a signal just to let you know my time is running out I need to push on harder, give it all I got And all the burdens of the past will be the fuel to drive me on So I burst my lungs, I'm screaming out now Born, found a reason to hold on Rite of passage for me No time to waste, I'm coming home Back to where I belong Holding on, right now, I am holding on I cling to that memory of what used to be While I crave to fall, no net now I crave to fall Still dream of that melody that could help me feel something small Not holding on, right now, I just crave to fall I dream of that melody that would make me feel While I'm left alone like all of us, left alone I cling to that melody like a remedy for us all I'm walking blind outside the stream Hoping time will mend One last smile to drown the scream Dream before the end Struggling on through years of pain I make my final stand Singing loud one last refrain A song before the end (A song before the end) (A song before the end) Struggling on through years of pain (A song before the end) Singing loud one last refrain (A song before the end) A song before the end A song before the end
