Ritual

See him standing staring at the sunset An empty shell of everything he used to be A lonely man - Shattered dreams - Wanting to hide away Feel his soul fighting with his demons Lost in time feels like eternity A troubled man praying for the day he fades away, fades away All the lies, never ending All the lies, condescending Break the chains, free ourselves, change our destiny The harder it gets the less we fall All's not lost, can't you see we're worlds apart The harder it gets tell me what can we do, the less we fall Hope can vanish too soon, all's not lost Can't you see we're worlds apart See their faces passed against a window Corrupting eyes of innocent children They'll never know, how could they know, there's nowhere to hide See the sun rise above the ocean Feel the anger raging like a hurricane A helpless man, dies inside watching our worlds collide, worlds collide All the lies, never ending All the lies, condescending Break the chains, free ourselves.. change our destiny (Solo: Michael McCrystal)

He knows where you're going see's what you've seen Watching your every move gets inside your dreams He knows where to find the future by following the past Time takes its toll down so many roads he took a wrong turn no no no What about sacrifice I'd give everything up for you What about sacrifice I need you to do things I do Won't you rescue me - Rescue me Won't you rescue me - Rescue me Won't you rescue me - Rescue me Before it's too late Endless obsession with the one that he chose His priceless possession who nobody knows He knows just what he's doing how long his game will last Days turn into nights endless confusion he took a wrong turn no no no What about sacrifice I'd give everything up for you What about sacrifice I need you to do things I do Won't you rescue me - Rescue me Won't you rescue me - Rescue me Won't you rescue me - Rescue me Before it's too late (Solo: Michael McCrystal)

Nothing you can say about it I ain't gonna change my mind I've given you the chance to prove it You said it was a waste of time So here I am alone asking Who's wrong and who's right? I really can't see no answers It was just and endless fight "Hey!" gonna raise some hell "Yeah!" never look down As the race begins I'm gonna hit the ground "Hey!" - Gonna raise some hell "Yeah!" - I'm gonna please the crowd and break the speed of sound Tell me was it really worth it? Was I the perfect prey? Like a hunter you waited for me And stabbed me without a care I'm getting close to madness I need some peace of mind I thought you were there to heal me You're the poison I must fight (1st Solo: Michael McCrystal, 2nd Solo: Robb Weir)

Behind shields of darkness, towers of strength The walls of the fortress, are their only defence Legions get stronger, as they gather in hoards Silence is deafening, as they raise their swords Let the bloodshed tonight be like no other night ever seen before Let battle begin to the victor who wins... The spoils of war The thunder of horses as the dead lead the way Draws closer and closer, everything in their path they will slay Too many valiant saviours perish for all their worth No chains will ever entwine them as their unmarked graves sink into the earth Their quest has begun they'll not forget their land for anyone The warlords have spoken the gods have awoken by the sounds of... The spoils of war There's a calm in the city, as the sun goes down They walk in the shadows, to the edge of town See no reflection, no sound from the sky Stakes getting higher, as they prepare to die For the spoils of war...

I spent all night on the highway Can't believe how far I've come Is there light at the end of this journey Tell me when will I be done There's something following behind you Is it something in your head I gotta find a way to ignore it I'll find the answer up ahead White lines, leading me on leading me on White lines, down this never ending road White lines, driving me wild driving me wild White lines, it's a never ending road Spent every weekend at a party Can't believe the things I've done No time for sleep when you're riding a white horse Lost inside the rising sun There goes that voice again behind you Are you sure that way you hear You gotta find a way to ignore it Got to learn to crush your fears Is something following behind you Is it something in your head You gotta find a way to ignore it You'll find the answer up ahead (Solo: Michael McCrystal)

I know it's time, tome to think about it... It hurts so bad You'll try to stop, but you stop my sighing Let me cry out loud 'cause you always knew that Words cut like knives They leave you bleeding as the days go passing by Words cut like knives and they leave you breathless and alone in the night You know I'm right, we can't be together we tried so hard A twist of fate has got us together But reality bites and I always knew that Words cut like knives They leave you bleeding as the days go passing by Words cut like knives and they leave you breathless and alone in the night Alone in the night... Alone in the night... I can't stop bleeding Words cut like knives I hope someday we'll find a way to meet and laugh about it But here i am a lonely man who still believe you're worth it Though hope has gone love remains and I just can't fight It just turn the page, give yourself a chance leave the past behind you (Solo: Michael McCrystal)

You gotta run for your life The winds of change are coming We need to leave right now Never look back keep on running So take what you can To survive this urban jungle Broken bones broken minds All that's left of this mankind I wanna stay alive Bullets keep on coming I wanna stay alive Don't want 'em inside of me Damn you and all your lies, twisting all the truth These eyes can't hide this soul ain't bulletproof Damn everything and everyone everywhere These eyes can't hide this soul ain't bulletproof One shot from behind will easily blow your mind That pieces of meat that's you Is all that's left behind You gotta save yourself From the gates of hell All the broken hearts broken minds Nothings left of this mankind I wanna stay alive Bullets keep on coming I wanna stay alive Don't want 'em inside of me Damn you and all your lies, twisting all the truth These eyes can't hide this soul ain't bulletproof Damn everything and everyone everywhere These eyes can't hide this soul ain't bulletproof (Solo: Robb Weir)

3 o' clock in the morning I'll pack my bags and go No one around in the city I'll face the day on my own The first light of day surrounded by my regrets How can I deal with this pain life's so cruel I guess Said she'll understand me, but it was just a mess I can't go on pretending, guess I'll never forget Let me try to explain I cannot forget you What kind of game we play? Love will find a way Love will find a way A game of chance a twist of fate Love will find a way Endless days and nights still waiting for your call I have to realise time ain't going back for sure Too late to say I'm sorry, am I the one to blame But you keep on pretending how would I ever change Let me try to explain I will always be near you This is the game we play?

Smashed to the ground like dogs we crawl to the wall Searching for goals we follow the voice of our soul Burning the candles all night we never get away from it all Tonight is the night we'll prove who's right and who's wrong Let's turn up the sound and gather around To hear... The art of noise Thunder and lights ignite the fuel for the night The crowd gets so wild as they spot their heroes alive The joy and the sweat of this night will forever be there Stuck in their minds as they shout their anthems in the air Let's turn up the sound and gather around To hear... The art of noise Speaks are electric and bright as the adrenalin flows The magnets are ready to fight to hear their call Eye to eye they stand it's time band and the crowd Their vows echo tonight as they shout them out loud Let's turn up the sound and gather around To hear... The art of noise Time will prove to all The louder you get the better we roar Time will prove to all When rock comes alive we'll never fall (Solo: Robb Weir)

Hold on hold on Pain will never betrays us 'Cause we belong to mother earth And one day to hear we'll return to Have mercy please! We want to live And get back to where we belong to The deep blue sea won't have our dreams Together we're stronger than ever I close my eyes and feel, your arms around me Your touch, your lips so sweet, a gift from heaven How many tears must we cry as we sail on forever How many more must die as we sail on forever Sail on sail on On this ocean of madness Endless days and sleepless nights Waiting for something to happen Sail on sail on With nothing but water around us The stars at night should guide us right But clouds are always against us Sail on sail on Waves are way above us We've got no chance our lives will end Our faith has played against us How many tears must we cry as we sail on forever How many more must die as we sail on forever "Under the wide and starry sky Dig the grave and let me lie Glad did I live and gladly die And I laid me down with a ill This be the verse you grave for me Here he lies where he longed to be Home is the sailor home from sea And the hunter home from the hill" (The ghost of Robert Louis Stephenson Craig) (Solo: Michael McCrystal)
