What will you do when it's right up on you
Like a ring of fire
Why ask why? Don't need to justify
Who really cares anyway?

Ethical tragedy
Rabid humanity
Learn from our past so they say

Now is the time
To make up your mind
And find out what is real
Fight or flight
You can't run
You can't run from yourself

One reason to survive
With a thousand ways to die
When you're living on the wire
Reaching the threshold
Near system overload
Caught on the red-eye again

Close your eyes
And hear the voices in your head
Grand disguise
This mass confusion
Revered Illusion

Some grip the mast on their final descent
Into the darkness below
Others will kick and crawl their way out
There is no heaven below

(Fight)
You can't run
(Fight)
From the arrow of time

Man down
Into the darkness they hunt you
Tracking blood upon the streets
Security is breached
Political Elite
Who's the savior when the martyr knows your name?

Guardian

Pixels of light
Infrared from the sights
That shed upon you
Facing the enemy
Fascist supremacy
Fight to live another day

It's time to rise up
United, we stand
Divided, we fall
Evolution calling

Rise up
United, we stand
Divided, we fall
Evolution calling

Insurrection
This time we're playing for keeps
Arming police like the military, it's obscene
And they're stalking the streets

Rise up
United, we stand
Divided, we fall
Evolution calling

Rise up
United, we stand
Divided, we fall
Evolution calling

Torn inside
We've fallen to another world
Are we so cold
And out of love?

Keep on trying
Hold the child
Face is crying
Changing Times

Rise up
United, we stand
Divided, we fall
Evolution calling

Rise up
We stand
We fall
Evolution calling

Rise up
We stand
We fall
Evolution calling

Lock down
What do we make of this madness?
It's a world gone mad

Shot down
Identity unknown
Mistaken for the enemy

Artillery
Placed in the hands of a few
Psycho-somatic rebellion

Collateral damage
Here comes the shrapnel again
Piercing screams in my head

Blackened
Shattered remains
A season of change
Anger and fear fuel the fire

Blinded
Blind to the eyes of the world
Under a jaded sky

Rapture
Heaven or hellfire
We are fractured again

Silenced from the underground
Robbing the blind and they steal from the dead

Hell Fire
Hell Fire

Tragic
Loss and despair
No rhyme or reason
Blackened
Shattered remains
Black are the souls that tear down humanity

What will you do
When they come for you?
There closing in
They're coming
Fight for your life

What symbol would you choose
To decorate your final breath?
You contemplate then choose
The misery that serves you best

It's too late to realize
You can't dismiss your past

So look around
The time is now
It's time to beware
Your liquid toxic remedy
It's time to beware

Time to beware

Every breath you take
Might be the last you get
Looking back, do you see sad eyes
Like who you are (drowning in regret)

Melting faces upside down
Confinement is your friend
Solitude that's never found
Forgive me father, I live in sin

Silence once that you speak
Reform the rights till they're tired and weak
(Suppress the infamy, confine the skeptics, segregation)
Strangers passing by
Turn our vision under the eye in the sky
Who do you trust that's on the currency, man?
Why's it so hard, don't you understand?

Selfish lives
Cover the things that forbid your smile
Will we ever find our way?

Do you wanna be a slave to the system?
For men are jagged, the only position
Pick em' off as easy as one, two , three
Time to amend the ideology

Selfish lives
Cover the things that forbid your smile
Will we ever find our way?
Selfish types
Are born outside of the satellites
Are we better off today?

Whats your wavelenght
It is not a hard drive
Come to life
Reach inside yourself
Now

Selfish lives
Cover the things that forbid your smile
Will we ever find our way?
Selfish types
Are born outside of the satellites

Selfish lives
Selfish types

Running out of time
Nowhere to go
I've been searching blind
Through these hollow walls

Escape these boundaries
Hanging by a thread
Breathe through the cracks of this tunnel
You'll find
A pity it is to be here all alone

Lost in the labyrinth of light
Stuck in the mirror of the truth
Cut through the walls of this package, you'll find
The shade of your mind

There's nothing left
There's nothing left for you

Thumbing through these pages
Pattern shifting, slowly moving
This consecrated crown that I stand
A misunderstanding
A misunderstanding

Running out of time

There's nothing
There's nothing left
I know

How many times must we try?
Lost in the gaze of your watering eyes
How many times
Have we questioned all we've ever known
I stood right by your side
But my love was not enough

Now you're aiming
There's no use in waiting
You know the trigger's right in front of you
So pull it now, but make your move
I'm bulletproof

The cleanse of surrender has grieved me
No longer a victim of change
With sequins inside
The cosmos is watching your every move
I'm stealing your sights
No matter how much I try

Now you're aiming
There's no use in waiting
You know the trigger's right in front of you
So pull it now, but make your move
I'm bulletproof

Escape this tonight
I'm stealing your sight
You know the trigger's right in front of you
So pull it now, but make your move
I'm bulletproof

Now you're aiming
There's no use in waiting
You know the trigger's right in front of you
But you'd never make a move
Bulletproof

And now who's to blame
Life is give and take
Searching for that special break
Only finding it was never there

The metronome of rain on the rooftop
Velvet draped across the floor

Was a time when we measured
But never up to our fathers
The sorrow cuts
And as I stare at the blade
You've reached the dark we fear

Locked
Stitches in time
Nothing can break apart our seams

You were humble and kind
Pondering times
As I sit in a shrine
Never meant to be

Rebuilding a passion that never saw a highway
How many more miles would you bear my friend?
Like a jab to the throat
Surrealism silenced the voice
But what is left to say?

And all I can think is thank you for your time
As I reflect with pain

Locked
Stitches in time
Nothing can break apart our seams

You were humble and kind
Pondering times
As I sit in a shrine
Never meant to be

Spiraling the hourglass

You have loved
You have seen
Through the darkest nights that steal your dreams
You have gone
Slipped away
Only time will help to ease the pain

Spiraling the hourglass

What could I say to you?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
We've traveled so far
Now it's just us once again

Pictures appear from the dark
Of days long ago
When we made a start
Like a kiss to a stranger
Brings a smile to the face
You're my solitude
My serenity
With an angel's face

Hearing the sounds of a cry
Peacefully sleep to a lullaby

A silent moved is sealed
Encapsuled in time
The days when we were young
All we had was time
We'll ride this train
All the way to the heavens
Just you and me
Hand in hand

A mother's voice calling out slowly
From the other side patiently

Slip inside my dream
Carry me away
Time goes by
No matter what you say or do
I'll still love you
Time goes by
I'm with you now
The days get longer

Reflections of time
They're yours and mine
The things that used to be
Still remain so fine
Is the face of a child
Your common grace?
You're my shining star
Of the darkest night
Our saving grace

I've seen the signs of the times
Forever is now, there's no rewind

Hey
I am the one
That's been keeping you alive
Who am I to even try caught in the middle again

Sacrifice
I give and I give and you take
Paid the price
Needless to say it was never enough

Lift
Lifting the bow
Revealing the mask in disguise
Forgive others that no one can see
A comical tragedy

With hope I'll find a way
Beckons too late
With nothing hope you can find a way
Time will reveal what's left
And who's dying alone

The clock on the wall
The only face of truth
Storm the fire
Hide what remains

No more lies
A crime of passion
Blood-stained smiles
A violence, the silence Alas
Muffled cries resemble
Once moans of lust

Do we ever stop and wonder
Wonder what's around us?
Do we take for granted
What some may dream to have?

Broken words of yesterday
Feels like I'm standing still
Promises don't mean a thing
Like a hunt without a kill

Do we ever take the time
To see what comes and what goes by?
Do we ever stop to see
Just who we will leave behind?
Who are we leaving behind?

Broken words of yesterday
Feels like I'm standing still
Promises don't mean a thing
Like a hunt without a kill

As the wise man
Waits the widow prays
Searching remnants of yesterday
When the shadows cry
Darkness fades
We try to understand
Under moonlit skies

Welcome to a generation
Divided unity of man
Disconnected circuitry
Pull the trigger on demand

No remorse
They have no sense of empathy
Critical mass on its way
Who is searching for the truth
Desensitize the innocent
Quick to medicate the youth

Welcome to a generation
Divided unity of man

A charade in locking frames
Gathered pieces from the past
Shake the species all the time
Morality's collapse
My lady of holy wars, suppress the need
Pockets of the corporate wars
Who would teach the child?

Illusions cast in complex forms
Death creates new life

No reception tonight

Welcome to a generation
Put me all on condition human
No remorse, they have no sense of apathy
