They came with different names
but bore the mark of the old.
They came with different names
and bore the mark of the old.
We've tried to run
but its no use
and all this time we've
reached the point of desperation.
In these iron walls we hide
but we leave the gates wide open.

For now
We are here and we are one.
though hearts are empty.
For now
For the waking of the sun
is not that easy.
For now
We are here and we are one.

I will never feel the same
but i'll burn
with a heart of fire.
It's never going to be the same
when I see their faces.
They came with different names
but bore the mark of the old
and from their lips came the same strain
thats waking up
thats waking up the sun.

For now
We are here and we are one.
though hearts are empty.
For now
For the waking of the sun
is not that easy.
For now
We are here and we are one.

They came with different names
but bore the mark of the old
We are waking up the sun.
Waking up the sun.

For now
We are here and we are one.
though hearts are empty.
For now
For the waking of the sun
is not that easy.
For now
We are here and we are one.
For now
We are here and we are one.

We are waking up the sun.

Who will protect you from these dogs like vultures?
And I know they're small but their bite are sharp.

We've been sent with eyes to see them and ears to hear their steps.
Our hearts that are softer than the sheep.

We've been known to calm the storm and silence the ocean
with the strength to spare you from their teeth.

Our eyes are upon you
and we will protect you
and be assured that
no fang will breech
your fleece

Because we are called to lead and sent to gather.
So, bare your teeth
and sharpen your claws.

We've been sent with eyes to see them
and ears to hear their steps.
Our hearts that are softer than the sheep

We've been known to calm the storm and silence the ocean.
With strength to spare you from their teeth.

From their teeth.
And their blood will spill like water in a fountain for thieves and liars.
So bare your teeth and sharpen your claws.
Because we hold the keys

And we've been sent with
eyes to see them
and ears to hear their steps
and hearts that are softer than the sheep.

We've been known to calm the storm and silence the ocean.
With strength to spare you from their teeth.
From their teeth.

Tell me, is this what you wanted?
How was I supposed to know exactly what you were?
And how am I to act when I don't even know my worth?
The minutes turn to hours and the hours turn to days
So, tell me, is this what you wanted?
Hanging there suspended as someone pulled your strings
That night that I awoke I never even knew your name
The weeks turned into months and the months turned into years

So, tell me, is this what you wanted from me?
Or am I something else?
Is this what you wanted from me?
Or am I something else?
Who pulls on your strings?

We are the sand worn down from stone
And although we're scattered
Our voices sing your death song
We hold the weight of the world's sorrow
And you will witness the strength of our souls
And our voices speak of death

Still hanging there suspended as someone pulls your strings
That night that I awoke I never even knew your name
The weeks turn into months and the months turned into years

Is this what you wanted from me?
Is this what you wanted from me?
We swear that you will soon meet your end

We are the sand worn down from stone
And although we're scattered
Our voices sing your death song
We hold the weight of the world's sorrow
And you will witness the strength of our souls
And our voices speak of death

So tell me is this what you wanted?

You cover me!

I am spent
and with death you paid my ransom
for the witness of your word.
To bring them in,
the jackal's sin.

Oh, the eyes death are upon me
and the watchman takes his toll.
If the river runs dry it will never take us home.
With idle minds we prove unconscious.
As the hunter stalks his prey.
His eyes, his eyes are locked on me

You cover the darkest part of me
with a look that's sure to set the captives free.

Oh, make way
for I am not the redeemer
Nor do the mountains fall in my name
But with slightest cry, my hunter,
you will fail to reach your prey.

Still with idle minds unconscious,
as the hunter stalks his prey.
His eyes, his eyes are locked on me.

You cover the darkest part of me
with a look that's sure to set the captives free.
With love that the blindest eyes will see,
You cover the darkest part of me.

As I am met with travesty,
and I am broken and I am empty.
And through it all I can see your face.
With words unspoken
I hear your voice and
I see the hand, the hand that writes it all.
You've called the wind to show its worth.
You've called the sun to brag about its warmth.
Because you are the writer!
Because you are the soul of the world.

You cover the darkest part of me
with a look that's sure to set the captives free.
With love that the blindest eyes will see
You cover the darkest part of me.

Because you are the writer!

When the moon hangs rogue in the sky
I wait for you
With every step you take
I'll wait for you
And I will never forget this made me feel alone
So hopelessly alone
Defeated, helpless, with nothing to call home

Open my heart to sadness
It's through the pain that I believe
(It's in the pain that I can see)
Love is alive in darkness
The waters may rise but your hand carries me
I won't let go!

And I will never forget
You made me feel alive so I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
We've opened our hearts to sadness
Because we know it won't last long
(Because we know it won't last long)
We know love will live through darkness
Through the darkness we overcome

Open my heart to sadness
It's through the pain that I believe
(It's in the pain that I can see)
Love is alive in darkness
The waters may rise but your hand carries me
I won't let go!

When the moon hangs rogue
When the moon hangs rogue
When the moon hangs rogue
When the moon hangs rogue

Open my heart to sadness
It's through the pain that I believe
(It's in the pain that I can see)
Love is alive in darkness
The waters may rise but your hand carries me
The world may deny what you chose to believe
I know that you're here
So I'll hold on and won't let go
I won't let go!
I won't let go!

Right now, he awaits at the threshold
Don't let him in
No, don't let him in
And though he is dressed like the rest of us
He has the jackal's eyes
The jackals eyes
Oh, the immortal is coming
And with him comes the storm
Black smoke fills the air
With anger as black as the cellars of hell
He wears your name like a cloak made for kings

They will come like...
Parasites swarming in
Dressed in lies of normalcy
To appease the death of innocence
And its growing appetite

Abandon all hope!
Abandon all hope!

Parasites swarming in
Dressed in lies of normality
To appease the death of innocence
And its growing appetite

I'll blot out the sun, the miserable sun
I'll blacken the sky and you will see no light
Useless, it is all useless
There will be nothing
There is no one to help you out!
But I hear the voice of the watchman
Useless, it is all useless
There will be nothing
There is no one to help you out
Blot out the sun, the miserable sun
I'll blacken the sky and you will see no light!

You've taught us to feel worthless
But it's in the back of your mind
That we are strong enough
To make it back, to make it back in time

There is no way out
And you have nothing without me

After all these years of my pleading and reaching
How easily you can be so swayed
Oh, by that arrogant tongue that pours slow with precision
All those honey-soaked words geared to sink you and keep you
Locked tight in such desperate but anxious grips
Because he fears what burns beneath your skin
And he will fear what I've written!

You've taught us to feel worthless
But it's in the back of your mind
That we are strong enough
To make it back in time
To make it back, to make it back in time

When you're breathing in, in the place where most deny
You are strong enough
(We can make it back in time)
To make it back in time
When you're breathing in
(We can make it back in time)
In the place where most deny
You are strong enough

To make it back in time

I've walked with the kings and I've marched to the pounding drums
Then you came
I've walked with the kings and I've marched to the pounding drums
Then you came

You asked me to change but like a fool I refused
And walked away

It's not like you would know, would you?
You were white as snow
But still you plead, still you plead guilty

They took my crown as I hung my head and tied the noose
Around my neck
They tied me up and left me for dead please, cut me loose

It's not like you would know, would you?
You were white as snow
But still you plead, still you plead guilty

It's not like you would know, would you?
You were white as snow
You were white as snow
You were white as snow
But still you plead, still you plead guilty

Crush the resistance!
Storm the halls and all the rooms
And break resistance
All who will choose the narrow road
Will be the victims
Crush resistance!
Withdraw the power
Seek to bring down the leader
Devour the smallest of the pride
And wring the blood from your fur
For they're as white as the morning
But they are weak from the need to forgive
Cover yourselves with the flesh of their fallen
And dress for the banquet
For they are weak and unknowing
Dress for the banquet
For the rain is falling from the

Grey sky!
Death comes in the
Black night!
We will never see the
Sun light!
In the shadow of your hate
Falling from the
Grey sky!
Death comes in the
Black night!
We will never see the
Sun light!
In the shadow of your hate
Look into the grey sky as its turning into night

Wear the stone down to sand
And weigh them down with your sorrow
Dress for the banquet
For they are weak and unknowing
Dress for the banquet
For they are weak and unknowing
And the rain is falling from the

Grey sky!
Death comes in the
Black night!
We will never see the
Sun light!
In the shadow of your hate
Falling from the
Grey sky!
Death comes in the
Black night!
We will never see the
Sun light!
In the shadow of your hate
Look into the grey sky as its turning into night

As I send you out into the shadow
Lurk the woods and every dark place

He'll bury us all in misery

Where are you now?
When the world is crashing
And all the creatures are calling
Where are you now?
In the rhythm with the subtle sound
Of him whispering

You are wounded now, I know
You are wounded now
And the world is crashing down,
I know
It's crashing down

He'll bury us all in misery
Buried underneath this mountain of control
But I am the white light
In the Potter's eyes
When you come wandering home

Where are you now?
In this time,
I've wandered to find
The way out
But I am the spawn
Of the wolf and the jackal
And there is no hope for me
There is no hope for me

Which is why instead of walking upright,
You walk with a crooked spine

And you'll bury us all in misery!
Misery!

Misery, buried underneath this mountain of control
But I am the white light
In the Potter's eyes
When you come wandering home

I am the spawn of the wolf and the jackal
So, hear the sound within me!
I am the spawn of the wolf and the jackal
So, hear the sound within me!

With grace, we've marched
To the ends of the earth
To search for the hand
When all hope is lost
It will be found
Where the earth and the heavens collide
And darkness shows his weary head to the light
And the rich trade their treasures for life
For something sweeter than honey
Where the earth and the heavens collide

My name is darkness
And I have uncloaked my face to the light
My name is darkness
And I have uncloaked my face
