Escape
03:49
|
|||
Every moment moving forth following a ray of light
Blurry eyes come into focus onto never-ending white
Why is it that I'm here? Yet I know it deep inside
There are answers buried here, I know
This hope why I'm alive
Hear me, guide me
I know you can't be real
But there is something here
That I can feel
If we are only what we are
Why do I feel half myself like I'm from another star
I can feel it, the truth is barely out of sight
I have to make this right tonight
Freezing here in isolation, yet never am I alone
Connected to this forgotten place that somehow I have known
I hear a whisper inside my soul, something happened here
If only I can find an answer, my past may become clear
Hear me, guide me
Through the satellites
Something lies here
Buried deep inside
If we are trying to escape time
What is it that we think we'll find if we come out alive
I can feel it, the truth is barely out of sight
I must continue on
Light illuminates, breath taken away
The answer lies in front of me hidden underground
A row of strange machines standing along the wall
Before I see, I feel a blow
Black out, begin my fall
Hear me, guide me
Hear me, guide me
If we are only what we are
Why do I feel half myself like I'm from another star
I can feel her every time I dream, it seems
I must continue on tonight
I have to make this right tonight

Turn Back Time
03:56
|
|||
Bright light flashes through my head
A silhouette slowly appears
Realization strikes my consciousness
The unknown slightly begins to clear
I cannot move an inch or less
Strapped down within restraint
I wonder have we ever had a chance
Or are we really just victims of fate
If I could just turn back time
Then I could save this world around me
And I could stop what happened here
And finally be free
Guilt I hear clearly in this voice
There’s nowhere left for you to go
Understand there is a choice
Will you bury what the world should know?
My questions suddenly cut off short
A certain nerve a chord they struck
Bid farewell and initiate
It seems I am finally out of luck
If I could just turn back time
Then I could save this world around me
And I could stop what happened here
And finally be free
As I lie in wait
Each breath I take my last
If only there was a way
To go back and change the past
If I could just turn back time
I could save this world around me

Encephalon
03:05
|
|||
Have I found the greater beyond
Have I found Babylon
I can hear the Creator’s song
Inside encephalon
Can’t tell if I’m alive or dead
Like I’m stuck between existence
I notice these thoughts in my head
Yet all is void, no resistance
Stuck inside
Have I found the greater beyond
Have I found Babylon
I can hear the Creator’s song
Inside encephalon
Am I in an altered state
As I feel myself torn apart
This blank field of emptiness
Rains down tears of the heart
Stuck inside
Have I found the greater beyond
Have I found Babylon
I can hear the Creator’s song
Inside encephalon

Fever Dream
06:00
|
|||
Fleeting dreams wash over me, fill my heart
Thin air, it would seem, keeps us apart
But this time feels a little strange
I understand I am not awake
She runs playfully as thoughts descend
Laughs drift carelessly in the wind
But this time feels slightly strange
I understand I am not awake
Sun shifts to moon, the unnatural occurs
Gone once again, as my consciousness blurs
Inside, is this life or death I feel
Is it all an illusion?
It all seems so real
Memories washed upon the shore, I analyze my state
Have I forgotten who I am? I’m hopeless at this rate
As I’m looking around for some sort of help, stumbling through this maze
A figure comes into view in my line of sight to help me navigate this haze
Now, we ride, and we must fight
As we reach out for life
It’s time, for we are one
As we reach out for light
The train departs as we drift away, a solace found in sleep
I don’t feel quite myself right now, only my name memory keeps
Abruptly jolted to my senses to a feeling of impending doom
Shouts from afar signal the time to escape this condemned room
Now, we ride, and we must fight
As we reach out for life
It’s time, for we are one
As we reach out for light
Reach out for life
Can you hear me scream?
This fever dream I have it in my grasp
The future lives here and not my past
Can we really only go so far
Together we define who we are
Push existence over the line
We’ll prove our own as we dance through time
This fever dream I have it in my grasp
The future lives here and not my past

Ascension
04:13
|
|||
Destination, a foreign place
It’s here I heard that I’ll find my way
And you know you can’t always believe in just what is said
But in front of me this whole place is going to my head
Surround me, elevate me
Guide my hand
Take me higher and higher
I know now, we somehow
Will soon recreate
As we climb higher and higher
Sink our drinks, search for substance
Intuition speaks despite resistance
Discover some other has been here before without a name
Locate and question then maybe we find the meaning of this game
Surround me, elevate me
Guide my hand
Take me higher and higher
I know now, we somehow
Will soon recreate
As we climb higher and higher
With a little pill, memory is clear
Yes, I’m alive, but will I disappear?
Just take me higher and higher

Horizon
04:34
|
|||
I feel the warmth burning my skin
Smooth sensation walking in the sand
How I’m here, I do not know
Yet somehow I feel at home
You touch my hand and look to me
Sun kissed hair blowing in in the breeze
Another place, somewhere unknown
Yet somehow, with you here I feel I’m home
Another world, filled once with hope
Light-stained dreams die here
Under the sun
A harmony, reality sets in
Time’s forgotten children
Over the horizon
We must consider what we hold dear
And who else this could affect
If only us maybe we could live this way
But not everyone
Only time can tell, unless we change
The events of the past, or shift what’s ahead
It may not be my world, but it feels like home
Secluded here, how could I have ever known
Another world, filled once with hope
Light-stained dreams die here
Under the sun
A harmony, reality sets in
Time’s forgotten children
Over the horizon
As the waves crash upon the shore
Without words, something we cannot ignore
If it were gone no one would know
Except this entire place
Another world, filled once with hope
Light-stained dreams die here
Under the sun
A harmony, reality sets in
Time’s forgotten children
Over the horizon
Another world, we’ll fill again with hope
Light-stained dreams will thrive
Under the sun
A harmony, reality sets in
Time’s forgotten children
Over the horizon

Our Way
04:06
|
|||
Can you see the light blue sky
It beckons forth, calling in code
It’s neither here, nor is it there
Watch the wind as thoughts erode
Who are we to defy this?
An anomaly to be put to rest
The calm around upon us now
Only temporary bliss
What you want and what you need
Are two very different things
Our aim to win, we hold the key
And set out
As we traverse the seas
Today
We’re going to do this our way
And I say
We’re never going back
If you want to run and hide
With nothing left, nothing inside
Really one thing to decide
There’s only one way
We’re going to do this our way
There’s much to say of a simple life
Could envy the peaceful innocence
This pressure strongly pulls us forth
A stride to match our new cadence
If the end is near, I don’t intend
To leave it all without a fight
I know you’re with me through thick and thin
Who’d have ever thought it all could end
In peace and love or despair
Do we really have a choice?
So head up high, enjoy the scene
And smile
As we traverse the skies
Today
We’re going to do this our way
And I say
We’re never going back
If you want to run and hide
With nothing left, nothing inside
Really one thing to decide
There’s only one way
We’re going to do this our way
And there's no going back
The only thing I want in life
Is to give you what you need
Today
As I stare into the sun rays
I say
There’s no going back
We’re going to do this our way
And there’s no going back
So listen here to what I say
We’re never going back
Nowhere left to run and hide
There’s something left, something inside
No more giving up tonight
There’s only one way
And that's our way

Nocturne
03:19
|
|||
I stand in wait, my blood runs cold
This moment now, a crimson hue
Can’t imagine, truth be told
Life without you
But what else can we do?
You lift me to heights I can’t believe
We are one and you know more than I
How that came to be
This may be our final chance
If we can maintain our stance
To right the wrongs of history
Still I wonder at what cost
The dreams of the lost
Our final test amidst the stars
Wear your scars with dignity
We’ll triumph over enmity
Time will heal the tears
We stand in the face of all our fears
One last dance, believe we can make a change for good
You give me the strength to face this darkness
And spare time
Never alone
It hurts, I know
If I must leave
Let your heart grow
So cherish the time that we’ve spent
Together here and
Know that I’ll always be there
Even if I don’t make it through

Vanquish the Night
04:08
|
|||
I stand beneath the waves of a crashing sun
But if I have found what I’m looking for then what have I done?
In my mind I can see just what I’ve made believe
In my eyes, it’s clear just what I need to save
Fear we can use to push us through
We can’t afford just to be the same
And all will fail if we don’t do what’s right
So we must vanquish the night
No, you can’t believe just in love
The fuel of hope can’t be left undone
If we believe in all of us
Then we can vanquish the night
I can feel the hope in my soul as it’s falling through
How can we, just us four
Hope to shift the tides
And save this world?
But the love in your heart is like fire
Gives life anew
Persevere, it lies in us
Rise above and shine
Illuminate the world
Fear we can use to push us through
We can’t afford just to be the same
And all will fail if we don’t do what’s right
So we must vanquish the night
No you can’t believe just in love
The fuel of hope can’t be left undone
If we believe in all of us
Then we can vanquish the night
We will vanquish the night
We will vanquish the night

Requiem
04:57
|
|||
Frozen here I find myself just where I am
And I know that I have fallen further than before
So I’m standing here and I question God
Is this all I have to give?
As I’m staring deeply into the abyss
A dead future wills to live
No we’ll never be
Never be the same
Blood running down my hands, the cold setting in
There’s no regret within my soul, these decisions I have made
As I question God, I stand my ground
My life won’t be in vain
Forever now, may I be lost
But not those who lift my name
No we’ll never be
Never be the same
I’ve finally found the missing piece of it all
It was you all along
Now the world chants a song of remorse
Dimensions are crying in pain
Can we overcome this course
Or are we doomed to be the same
Tears gleam from the corner of her eye
I faintly smile as I realize
We’ll never be the same
