The Testament
I've never felt the moment could shatter like a dream but there's more to life than I thought I would ever see I've aimed to reach perfection A foolish game to play Hell, I swear I did my best and, it crumbled anyway This mortal life will bring you down to the ground I've tried to reach the surface but lost along the way Cause I know there's an ocean in between us We fell apart, only to unite as one again In my heart I always thought I knew the way right from the start With a prayer, in despair, I am calling out your name Hurt and ever broken In the cold, in the rain, I am bleeding all the same I carry the blame At the bottom of the darkness, where light can never reach And there's nothing good, no nothing good could ever breach I lie behind the curtain hiding in myself I'm shutting down all feelings, numb in my cocoon There's no one there, not anywhere under the moon Living like I'm dying This wasteland is my fate I'm stronger than I was before, hurt but never broken Rising to get off the floor There is something more I'm stronger than I was before, hurt but never broken Forgiveness is an open door There is something more With a prayer, in despair, I am calling out your name Hurt but never broken In the cold, in the rain, I am healing all the same Leaving the blame

This track is instrumental.
As darkness calls, I am leaving my sanity in pieces It's twisting and turning, corrupting my mind Twisting and turning. Feeding the rage that is growing beyond return Cogwheels are churning Raging and spreading its ash as it burns I thought I knew you like you knew me Is there no relief at all? Is there resolution in forgiveness? Pain goes away, but scars are forever I rip myself open in anger I will let my demons show For something within me has broken It's screaming and yearning to grow For as long as my heart bleeds a river I will let the red river flow A harrowing crack in the surface Exposing the rage and the beast that dwells below Smashing, breaking, kicking, burning and ferociously demand Damn you all, it's all your fault I'm reduced to contempt where I stand Pushing the limit containing my misery Borders are failing Anger's an animal trying to be free I thought I knew you like you knew me Is there no escape at all? Is there resolution in forgiveness?

Did you reach for my hand I'm in no-man's land I'm confused and I don't understand Tell me, are you feeling it too Is it really true All I want is to share this moment with you It all started with a heartache But since you walked into my life I've been caught in a landslide Stay until the day breaks And let us come alive I'm falling right from the start There's room for only you and I No others will keep us apart You and I, invincible Through the pain, to the love and the beauty Could it actually be That you're here with me All the wonders that I get to see I could honestly say That I'm not afraid Onе second with you I would never tradе It all started with a heartache But since you walked into my life I've been caught in a landslide Stay until the day breaks And let us come alive I'm falling right from the start There's room for only you and I No others will keep us apart You and I, invincible Through the pain, to the love and the beauty I'm falling right from the start There's room for only you and I No others will keep us apart You and I, invincible I'm falling right from the start There's room for only you and I No others will keep us apart You and I, invincible

When your own life is in your hands you choose the path to walk upon And soon the past is taking over and you alone must find your way Just like impossible romance Shackled to the underground Way too afraid to take a chance just too afraid of failure You wrote the lines that define you long ago All that you need is inside you to leave it all behind Into a mind set on fire, We're lost in a maze Facing the memories that'll work to conspire and set us ablaze Fear is the master, to lead us astray. So push darkness away When that feeling's closing in and panic's creeping up on you Into the river of the broken, fight or flight, you're paralyzed To kill that beast inside your mind and rise above the circumstance Don't walk away, be someone, never let your ghost control you

Cling to life, reach up higher Tread the causeway, testify Deep within you cleanse the demons left to die There is not a thing you can't do Boldly embrace the world As the pages turn let light surround you and watch your life unfurl Up onwards like a dynamo Every step that I'm taking is under a clear blue sky I fly above the doubt below My hope, my guide Brings light to my life An excited child on Christmas Eve, newlyweds about to leave Hardship, trials Nothing touches he who smiles In faith and love salvation lies Leads the way to paradise Free your mind and watch the brand-new sun arise

I see a boy with a big guitar And though he can't quite reach the notes Still he sings with all his heart The saddest words he knows There's a weakness behind his eyes He's supposed to never show I can see how hard he tries To let it all go Hold it back, keep it in, let it die Son, have you ever seen a real man cry? I promise you the world will never ever really understand Another tear goes up in flames And thе sadness leaves him burning But it's hard to fight thе shame So a tear goes up in flames I see a man with a crooked smile It's like he's too afraid to feel And so the wound he tries to hide Just won't let him heal Brush it off You do whatever it takes No one wants to see a strong man break It's easier to love a man Who never ever really made mistakes The boy grows up And he writes one more song The most heartfelt song that he's ever sung And it sets him free To let his biggest hero die young Another tear goes up in flames And thе sadness leaves him burning But it's hard to fight thе shame So a tear goes up in flames Another tear goes up in flames And thе sadness leaves him burning But it's hard to fight thе shame So a tear goes up in flames A final tear goes up in flames All the sadness had him learning He doesn't have to fight the shame A final tear goes up in flames
