Tectonic
Today dawned Raining down a fire of promise In beautiful bright hues I blaze on while shadows from the peaks in the valleys Are made to consume truth I've found myself amongst the false and fearsome But I'm ready to break away And I'm willing to claim If I can't escape the war If I have to face my weakness I won't step aside I know it's worth the fight I won't cover up the scars I will climb until I reach the top I'm aiming high I know it's time to shine To shine I won't drown swallowing a river of false hope Or singing the wrong tune I gain ground when following integrity's virtue We've just got to break through The sound of clarity rings high and mighty Got my feet in a better day And I'm aiming to stay If I can't escape the war If I have to face my weakness I won't step aside I know it's worth the fight I won't cover up the scars I will climb until I reach the top I'm aiming high I know it's time to shine I know it's my time to shine Glory-bound Trekking through wastelands of the faithless Turning down offers of destiny I've got better fates to make Today's dawn rained down a fiery promise In beautiful bright hues You'll gain ground when following integrity's virtue Press on till you break through If I can't escape the war If I have to face my weakness I won't step aside I know it's worth the fight I won't cover up the scars I will climb until I reach the top I'm aiming high I know it's my time to shine My time to shine

I woke up screaming over the ocean At night it sinks into me With what I'm dealing And what I've chosen I see it's all up to me Let it breathe or set it free I've got to figure out what works for me Reliving a beginning It's time to sing full speed ahead And I'm giving it my best shot Full speed ahead And I'm grateful for all I've got Full speed ahead I slay the giants and jump the hurdles A vow of dedication to fill the silence and close the circle And there are expectations I live and breathe a living dream I'll always figure out what works for me Shifting means is gonna bring velocity Full speed ahead And I'm giving it my best shot Full speed ahead And I'm grateful for all I've got Full speed ahead And as I breathe everything I dreamed I'd be The odyssey is set in motion Alacrity Making a comeback 'Cause I believe Yes I believe So let it be what it can be I'll always figure out what works for me Pouring steam Tenacity I'll keep on singing Full speed ahead And I'm giving it my best shot Full speed ahead And I'm grateful for all I've got Full speed ahead

Transient Look what they found I suspect both sides who claim to run the parade They ran us into the ground Sustenance for only one day I prayed hard Hard Hard But all they want is to keep you around Blood will fill the streets Unless you sow only what you want to reap Hit me while I'm falling down Then order me to be kissing (Kissing) Kissing the blood from my fingers that cut me down Hit me! Hit me! Recklessness is not a way out You can't start a fire to cover the mess you've made It only strengthens the crowd Jump the gun and call it all a fake We looked up and down And all at once you wear destiny's crown Blood will fill the streets Unless you sow only what you want to reap Hit me while I'm falling down Then order me to be kissing (Kissing) Kissing the blood from my fingers that cut me down Hit me! Hit me! While I'm falling down Every stage portrays the rage you squall And the damage that hit me Did you cheat your way into the game? How did you paint yourself into the frame? With all the grace of ten runaway trains You entertain Blood will fill the streets Unless you sow only what you want to reap Hit me while I'm falling down Then order me to be kissing (Kissing) Kissing the blood from my fingers that cut me down Hit me! Hit me! While I'm falling down Every stage portrays the rage you squall And the damage that hit me

You feed her when the voices speak to you You see her in the witching hour blue Remembering your vanity is crucial Recovering your sanity is futile Setting her free or keeping your hold You're slowly running out of options Say your prayers now! You can't deny the call of blood We live the divine or die You had your grip But you're losing it now and it shows You're fighting fate The painted on disguise won't make you immune Won't cover up the lies as you presume Moonlight and sin will echo your name You'll scream until you long for darkness Can't you feel how? You can't deny the call of blood We live the divine or die You had your grip But you're losing it now and it shows You're fighting fate Righteous tidings, we are the divine! Such unfortunate timing You can't deny the call of blood We live the divine or die You had your grip But you're losing it now and it shows Now you know The secret flows within your veins It burns if you hide the signs You had your grip But you're losing it and now you know You're fighting fate You're fighting fate You can't escape You can't deny it (We lie the divine or we die) We are divine

I wait for night to come When hearts are still When minds are numb I'm dressed to kill Like fate devours the sun And brings a chill There is no one Escapes my will First you'll dream Then you'll scream Moon and stars will crown me You who tried to drown me Soon you'll bow before me I am now Nocturna Embrace the age to come From God's own quill The angel has sung And fallen still First you'll plead Then you'll bleed Moon and stars will crown me You who tried to drown me Soon you'll bow before me I am now Nocturna The sweet caress Defined in infamous ruin Flows in excess Caught in a spinning room Moon and stars will crown me You who tried to drown me Soon you'll bow before me I am now Nocturna

Do you hear me calling on your weary, wounded heart? If I'd given you some light Could you have found your way from the dark? Nobody had told me you were walking on the ledge It wasn't an angel on your shoulder So what led you to go? Wishes and rhymes are empty of meaning You know I try so hard I'm not going to lie You know that I'm bleeding Oh, but I try so hard I'm shot in the heart (I never felt so helpless) Why did you leave me helpless? (I need to tell you, you were missing the mark) When did it start? (Now the mistake can never be undone) A fatal mistake can't be undone I had never wanted so badly to undo the rules of time But destiny changes when you're older And now we'll never know Give me a sign You know what I'm needing And though I try so hard I'm walking the linendon't know what I'm feeling Oh, but I try so hard I'm shot in the heart (I never felt so helpless) Why did you leave me helpless? (I need to tell you, you were missing the mark) When did it start? (Now the mistake can never be undone) A fatal mistake can't be undone Now the rage of my pain screams why?! Did you even try? Where was the fight? (Questions haunt me How can I sleep at night?) Should've done more to make you see You were meant to be Now what about me? Wishes and rhymes are empty of meaning You know I try so hard I'm not going to lie you know that I'm bleeding Oh, but I try so hard I'm shot in the heart (I never felt so helpless) Why did you leave me helpless? (I need to tell you, you were missing the mark) When did it start? (Now the mistake can never be...) A fatal mistake can't never... It's like I'd been shot (I never felt so helpless) Why did you leave us? (I need to tell you, you were missing the mark) When did it start? (Now the mistake can never be undone) Now your mistake can't be undone

A whisper in the moonlight And the faintest hope within Such fragile beginnings Growing strong at every whim My faith is renewed upon your bated breath Winter will never steal the warmth I've found in you We'll bloom forever here Together in eternal spring The ancient word of wise men Cannot fail the test of time For sooner or later Every soul will feel the signs I carry vows and oaths to lay here in your hands And standing here I know I've reached the promised land Winter will never steal the warmth I've found in you We'll bloom forever here together When night will fall the light you gave me carries through We'll shine forever here Together in eternal spring Around me Heavens break with all at stake Surroundings maybe change But you remain the same Astound me every day with all you have to say And I say Stay Winter will never steal the warmth I've found in you We'll bloom forever here together When night will fall the light you gave me carries through We'll shine forever here Together in eternal spring In eternal spring
