Forgotten Sunrise

Begging to be saved as I fall to the altar Her lifeless body still warm I await the coming of the savior He arrives too late The battle is underway as I feel myself being torn in two Many feelings, but I'm controlled by my hate I remember the blade that ripped through her flesh As she tried to escape But she knew as I smiled That I controlled her fate [SOLO: Andy] [SOLO: Brett] I must be forgiven for all I've done Because sin is a sin and sin is a pun

Birth is the start of death The endless process of decaying breath Time has taken its toll And your lungs resemble coal Your life's so important in your own eyes There's no way to prevent demise And when you're still here Cherish the moments you hold dear Because all that you've done Amounts to nothing when you're gone And when you're found lying in shit Few people will care one bit Kiss the dead man's face To respect someone who finished the race Are the tears from sorrow or joy Or tradition taught when they were boys? Laid to rest beneath the earth You've finished the cycle you started at birth When the pains start to subside Fewer are the tears they will cry They visit Christmas, birthdays too... And when there's nothing much to do The visits become less frequent And the flowers become delinquent Whomever visited the last few times Join the dead under the pines Time has taken its toll And your body resembles coal Your life's now meaningless in your grave The weeds on top you wouldn't save [SOLO: Brett]

Reaching out, from beyond He's dying to be killed Screaming out, without a sound The pain, it's in his eyes Without a thought, his mind goes blank Blind stare confesses weakness Rotting bones, decaying flesh Makes him look almost human Utters something only he understands Watching, waiting, for the death of this stranger That clings to life desperately Forcing air into his lungs Confused, he loosens his grip As his mind slowly drifts away Reality fades day after day Screams in his darkness, his way, he can not find A time to live, a time to die [SOLO: Brett] [SOLO: Andy] You don't want to see his end As if this wasn't it now He takes a look into his past And hopes this breath will be his last

The warning is clear, we must heed the call A time to act, harmony for all mankind The air we breathe The land we graze The water we drink Destroyed by man The earth's not ours to do as we please We rent our land, no one lives forever You live in excess You love to waste You kill for greed The traits of man The misuse, the misuse of resources Supply, demand, you demand more supply Equal guilt, equal guilt to all Use of services, you've serviced their cause What are you going to do When the filth has caught up to you? Is that what it's going to take For you callous bastards to awake? [SOLO: Andy] Listen to what I have to say Learn to use the strength of knowledge Rather than the knowledge of strength Together we can rise above the filth To live in peace and harmony... Those of you, those who know the facts Use denial, denial to cover your guilt Act now! Act against the status quo Upon their greed, upon which the world is built You can hear, yet, you do not listen You read the words, yet, you do not think Aware of the facts, but nothing will change Laissez-faire the policy of mankind
