New Day
08:23
|
|||
|
When you're adrift
On a cruel and endless sea
Perhaps you should just drop your anchor
And accept this is all you can be
Or you can keep moving forward
Navigate, don't get stuck where you are
Look to the sky and also within
And you’re sure to find your North Star
It's always darkest before the dawn of a new day
The hour of most promise is just after most turn away
You once were so certain
Full of vision, consumed by your goal
But the path has been tougher than planned
Now you feel that you've lost all control
You think of deferring your costs
Wait a while or settle for less
Yes, you'll pay the price later
As you're counting out all your regrets
It's always darkest before the dawn of a new day
The hour of most promise is just after most turn away
When you feel like there's nothing to show for the heavy price you have paid
Keep calm and carry on and things won’t always be this way
It's always darkest before the dawn of a new day
You've gone to such a great length
You don’t want to give in now
It's time to look within
And find your strength
Look to the light inside
And let it guide you through
Or every day will be
About how your dreams died
When it is darkest
It is always hardest
To carry on
But you must go on
When the day breaks
You will know that you have what it takes
But if you stop now
You will never know
Beyond the horizon
The Sun soon will be rising
The hour of most promise is on its way
It's time for the dawn of a new day
You once were adrift
On a cruel and endless sea
You thank God you didn't drop your anchor
Because you know now just what you can be
Now that you’ve charted this course
You can never again stray too far
You will always find guidance
From the compass that lives in the heart
It's always darkest before the dawn of a new day
The hour of most promise is just after most turn away
It's always darkest before the dawn of a new day
To fulfill your promise, remember, you can’t turn away
When you feel like there's nothing to show for the heavy price you have paid
In your mind’s eye, see your reward, and know your costs will be far outweighed
It's always darkest before the dawn of a new day

Sincerely Satan
05:11

You call me to meet you
And I don’t see right through you
The evilness that lives inside
But still I believe you
I only mean to please you
And now I’m suffering for it all
Welcome to the Satan’s Den
Closer, closer to the end
You give me everything
It only costs my soul
And now I’m bleeding from the heart
The fear it is building
I didn’t think I feel so
Alone and empty in the dark
Welcome to the Satan’s Den
Closer, closer to the end
I didn’t think it’d be like this
I only wanted everything
I didn’t think it’d be like this, oh no oh
And now it’s all come crashing down down down
Welcome to the Satan’s Den
Closer, closer to the end
And now you're filled with fear
Oh as you hold me near
I’m gonna take you to the end
It cuts and stings so sweet
The terror fills you deep
You're gonna love and hate the fear
Welcome to the Satan’s Den
Just close your eyes and let that knife cut oh so deep
The pain like fire fills you up so sweet, so sweet
Just close your eyes and let that knife cut oh so sweet
You feel alive as the blood is flowing free and free
Don’t take me, Don’t take me away
Don’t take me away oh no
Don’t take me, Don’t take me away oh no
Don’t take me away, away

Hollow Days
09:52
|
|||
|
As a camera, I observe
I see everything
Eye of a human storm
As a diary, I record
I feel everything
Since the day I was born
And so we wander through hollow days
Blind, unguided, in this maze
Purpose obscured from our view
Detached and hurting
Alone in this sea
Humanity washes over me
Like a stone, I'm worn down
By time and tide
I am smooth - touch me
And so we wander through hollow days
Blind, unguided, in this maze
Purpose obscured from our view
And so we wander in an isolated daze
Nights are numbered by lunar phase
What are we to do?
Alone in our skins
Together in our sins
We are
Through hollow days
In unaccounted ways
We are
All we can really know for sure
Is what our own spirits endure
What our own hearts feel
All we can depend upon
When our illusions are all gone
Is what we know to us is real
And so we wander through hollow days
Blind, unguided, in this maze
Purpose obscured from our view
And so we wander in an isolated daze
Nights are numbered by lunar phase
What are we to do?

Hello hello bleeding sadness
You play the victim when you're the advocate
Spin your web of lies to feed your habit
The hunger so strong the feeling so numb
Hello hello bleeding sadness
Hello hello bleeding sadness
Each little butterfly
That comes flying by
Gets caught and tangled
In your cold web of lies
Each day becomes one
'Til it all feels the same
A sea of blinding grey
A not so fun game
A not so fun game
Hello hello bleeding sadness
Hello hello bleeding sadness
When your heart starts to beat
Stab it hard, make it stop -
'Cause feeling is pain
And the pain, the pain it must be blocked
Nothing is left
Let's destroy all that you can have
Nothing is left
Let's destroy everything you can be
Break anything
Old, new or possible
And let's just stay sad
Oh let's just stay sad
Hello hello bleeding sadness
Hello hello bleeding sadness
I saw the brightness inside you
But you didn’t have a clue
I hoped and prayed that you’d see the truth
But now I’m empty too
Now I am sad too
Oh now I’m bleeding too
My sadness bleeds through you

Leaving
06:49
|

|
How can you fear me when I look so tame
Forever unloved forever pushed away
Why do you leave me here in all this pain
Search for a brighter day all I find is rain
Nothing shall remain
Everything’s the same
Nothing shall remain
You're running away now always leaving me
But when I change my mind you finally see
You’ll never see the truth only when the memories bleed
You're the only love I want and a love I never wanted
I know what it means now when you float my way
Its nothing more to you than a stupid game
I fell into your web but now things have changed
I’ve found a brighter day and that's when you go away
Nothing shall remain
Everything’s the same
Nothing shall remain
You're running away now always leaving me
But when I change my mind you finally see
You’ll never see the truth only when the memories bleed
You're the only love I want and a love I never wanted
Was you, you, you oh oh ohhh
I’ve known you for way too long
To fall into your fake sweet dreams
But somehow I’m a fool for you
That hopes someday these things will change
Nothing shall remain
Everything’s the same
Nothing shall remain
Cause everything is the same, the same, the same, oh no!
I still have a place for you every time I need
I hate the way it feels so leave me empty please
The love I had for you was a stupid dream
Now as I float away set these shackles free
Nothing shall remain
Everything’s the same
Nothing shall remain
You're running away now always leaving me
But when I change my mind you finally see
You’ll never see the truth only when the memories bleed
You're the only love I want and a love I never wanted
You're running away now always leaving me
But when I change my mind you finally see
You’ll never see the truth only when the memories bleed
You're the only love I want and the only love I wanted
Was you

No Love
06:50
|

What do you find in a world without love?
An evil fueled by great ambition
The best lose all hope and stand idly by
With no constraints against the ones
Pursuing heartless missions
Darkness obscures
The light far above
What illuminates a world without love?
Where is the hope in a world without love?
Fill emptiness with mere consumption
We look deep inside and all that we find
Is the message from the heart
Can no longer reach the mind
Damnation below
Salvation above
Which awaits a world with no love?
There is no love
So it seems, in this world
Broken dreams lead to lives
In a world without love
Where is the joy in a world without love
When success is always measured by the dollar?
Where a person with focus on more noble pursuits
Can reach the greatest heights
And yet is still considered smaller
Shortcut below
High road above
Which led to a world without love?
There is no love
There is hate, in this world
Whats the fate that's in store
For a world without love?
There is no love
Settle scores, in this world
Fighting wars in a world
That can only be saved by love
Love
There is no love
No love
It is often said that only the strong survive
A concept too impersonal to get the world to thrive
Compassion, thoughtfulness: it will not make us weak
We only gain in strength when we turn the other cheek
Apply the golden rule; respect your follow man
Don’t dominate the powerless just because you can
Give and receive respect: the kind we often lack
Start each and every day with a kind and selfless act
There is no love
There is no love
Learn to find love
Learn to find love
What do we find in a world without love?
We find a billion brave exceptions
We have the will, now we need the power
To move us from this darkest age into our finest hour
The past lies below
The future above
We must reach a place
Where the world can find love
With darkness below
A light shines above
That leads away from a world
Without love
There is no love
There is no love
There is no love
There is no -

My Eternity
06:07
|
|||
|
I believe everything happens for a reason
People come and go in seasons
Sometimes those seasons last a life time
Others just stop by for a day
It's the lessons and journeys that change you
Change you and help you to stay
Finding meaning sometimes in a confusing way
I move with the change
But I found you through the storm
That I thought would last a life time
You’re the days that I’ve been searching for
‘Cause you are my eternity
You take me on a journey that’s right
You are my eternity
I’ll hold you in my heart every night
Ooh I’ve had a life time of changes
Many tears and heart aches
I accept all the things that come my way
I realize the path that I must take
Learning more every change
Shows me the meaning of what it takes
I won’t limit myself
I’ll strive to the top
The path that I wish to claim
You see the greatness inside of me
You take away my pain
Show me the life I’ve been searching for
Cause you are my eternity
You take me on a journey that’s right
You are my eternity
I’ll hold you in my heart every night

Phoenix
06:48
|
|||
|
Five hundred years ago
Last time I felt the drive
Emerging from the fire
I was made alive
You should have seen me then
Resplendent red and gold
Over time the colors faded
The fire went out and I grew old
Going down...
Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes
I was destroyed and now I fly again
There is no healing process as time passes
Only the beginning and the end
Once dynamic and supersonic
Autopilot's gone catatonic
And I'm quickly losing
Altitude
A change of course that defies understanding
Brace for emergency landing
You may experience a sudden shift in
Attitude
Out of control...
As you're flying
Through this life
A few well-placed shots
Can take you out
Embedded pellets of
Newfound internal strife
Clip once majestic wings
And fill your mind with doubt
As time goes by
You wonder why
The shrapnel lodged within your heart
Prevents a brand new start
Wanting to get better
Willing to pay any cost
Sometimes the only way to heal
Is to regain what you have lost
Just like the Phoenix I will fly
Reanimated as I die
Reclaiming my place within the sky
An instantaneous goodbye
Within the blink of an eye
Just like the Phoenix now I fly
Many years I was in flight
And failed to see the light
It was obscured by
Blackened skies
I finally crashed and burned
Broke though the clouds and learned
A spirit forged within a trial by fire
Is empowered to climb to newfound highs
Flying high...
