11. Wasted Sacrifice

Trading life for life
It all must fall
It must end with us
It must end with me

Insinuations of what might be
Fight through depriviation
There will be no sleep

Heed my cry

Because of greed and hatred
To dust we return
They will see the strength in our numbers
Only then will the self-righteous learn

Insinuations of what might be

To the masses, we mean nothing
But it starts in the hearts of the few
Witness the birth of a people
Unite. Renew.

There is no forever, just today
Don't let your sacrifice waste away

Through change and purity, turn the shadows to light
Buried beneath the ashes is a passion for life

There is no forever, just today
Don't let your sacrifice waste away

Let there be no more of this bloodshed

Heed my cry.

There is no forever, just today
Don't let your sacrifice waste away

12. Hope Is...

This is our moment
Will you stand with me?
Hope is not lost
Hope is not lost

Let the strength of your words
Be the spark that ignites the flame
Proclaim your freedom
Give voice to your liberation

This is my confession
Mark these words, we will rise

Weep no more
We will prevail
Grieve no more
We will prevail

Revoke the needless way of affliction
Revoke and abandon
We are the authors, finishers of our faith
We are the solution

This is my confession
Mark these words, we will rise

Weep no more
We will prevail
Grieve no more
We will prevail

Hope is...
Hope is not lost

Weep no more
We will prevail
Grieve no more
We will prevail

This is our moment
Will you stand with me?
Hope is not lost
Hope is not lost

13. My Life For Yours

[2CD album edition version track]

It's all a nothing, been dead for long
For far too long the illusion falters
This illusion falters
Suffering (suffering)
Despite the struggle
Remaining helpless
My heart can no longer (my heart can no longer)
No longer be frozen (no longer)

Take my words (This truth)
I will never
Never leave you

It must be now, we must revolt
Invoke the strength, turn the tide, stop it now yea

Take my words (This truth)
I will never
Never leave you

The winds of change will cleanse away
What still remains
Let our doubts and indecision pass away

Take my words (This truth)
I will never
Never leave you

My
Life
For
Yours

Free me (my)
Again (life)
My life (from)
For you (you)

1. Daylight Dies

Slowly, we watch the degradation of the civilization
The rise and fall of all we are stands before us

This place is evil
Is there an answer?
This world is vile
We are the answer

How long until we die?
Die from the inside out
How much is enough for us to see the light?
How much blood must be shed?

Contest the lies
We cannot be so blind
Hear their cries
Don't wait till daylight dies (daylight dies).

When there is blood on our hands,
How can we (how can we) ignore the truth?

Contest the lies
We cannot be so blind
Hear their cries
Don't wait till daylight dies.

The cost of one life
The price of one soul
Is too much to bear.

No more broken promises
Our shattered hearts will heal
No more broken promises
No more (no more)

Contest the lies
We cannot be so blind
Hear their cries. (Hear their cries.)
Don't wait till daylight dies.

How long until it dies?
How long? How long?
How long until it dies
How long? How long?

2. This Is Absolution

We will not die this way, in unification
They cannot break these chains of faith
Let them do their worst (let them do their worst)

We will not die this way (this is absolution)
Death claims us no more (no more)
Do not grief, end the suffering
We will live, live eternal

Will you take the stand among the dead?
Bury your fear, and hold fast to life

We will not die this way (this is absolution)
Death claims us no more (no more)
Do not grieve, end the suffering
We will live, live eternal

Anchor yourself to the foundation of everything you love
Believe you have just become to live

Don't let the world deceive you
Don't let their words betray you
Don't let their lies deceive you
Lead them to their graves

We will not die this way (This is absolution)
Death claims us no more (no more)
Do not grief, end the suffering
We will live, live eternal

3. The Arms Of Sorrow

Imprisoned, inside this mind
Hiding behind the empty smiles
So simple (the anguish)
Isn't much made
Crawling back into the dark

Running, always running, into the distance
Stop me before I bleed, again
The echoes of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down

Deeper I'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Blindly descending
Into the arms of sorrow

There must be serenity

The echoes of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down

Deeper I'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Blindly descending
Into the arms of sorrow

The demons of my own design
This horror must not remain

Deeper I'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Blindly descending
Into the arms of sorrow

There must be serenity

There must be deliverance

Deeper I'm falling

Blindly descending

4. Unbroken

Go!
Forever falling, Into oblivion
The darkness crawls forward
It engulfs, my will to live
Fear is failure
And this is my motivation

Take back what was stolen
Reclaim all that's lost
With virtue, I will rise up from the ruins

C'mon!
Through adversity, there is redemption
With passion, fighting
I am unbroken
Through adversity, there is redemption
With passion, fighting
I am, unbroken!!

Take back what was stolen
Embrace the cycle
Refuse to turn back now and be led astray
Fear is failure
And this is my affirmation

Through adversity, there is redemption
With passion, fighting
I am unbroken
Through adversity, there is redemption
With passion, fighting
Unbroken!!

The absence of fear, is the renewal of ourself
The absence of doubt, breeds desire
If there is truth to face
I will design it
I will not be denied!

5. My Curse

I watched you walk away
Hopeless, with nothing to say
I screen my eyes
Hoping to see you again

This is my curse (the longing)
This is my curse (to)
This is my curse (the yearning)
This is my curse

There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
Will you be here?

Your silence haunts me
But I still hunger for you

This is my curse (the wanting)
This is my curse (to)
This is my curse (the needing)
This is my curse

There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?

And still I want
And still I ache
But still I wait
To see you again

Dying, inside, these walls [2x]

Can I see your face in these tears?
In these tears
And I see your face...

There is love [8x]

6. For You

The finest parts of me
Are only shades of you
To put aside the ties that bind
Is the goal of man

I give my word
To stand the test of time
No more wasted days
The past must perish

The line is drawn
I pledge my devotion
There is no turning back
This heart is yours

I sacrifice for you
For you
For you

This is immortal

The finest parts of me
Are only shades of you
With each passing day
This heart is endless

No more wasted time
We are immortal

The line is drawn
I pledge my devotion
There is no turning back
This heart is ours

I sacrifice for you
For you
For you

This is the everlasting
This is immortal
Your words are my inspiration
Your life, the image of perfection
For all you are
For all you've done
I strive to be in your reflection

The line is drawn
I pledge my devotion
