Revelation 03:00
lyrics
buy track
By the year 2050, humanity will have made a vast wasteland of the blue planet You have eliminated indigenous people and animals in the name of human progress You poison the air you breath with noxious chemicals, your offspring have grown obese on sustenance devoid of nutrition For millennia, your role as caretaker has been in question, and we have now determined, that a change is in order. You kill one another without justification of provocation, you rape your own and destroy your cities, you dissect- the innocent unborn We have come now as your judge, jury, and executioner- Your suffering- will be immeasurable I can't see the sun I can't feel the sun You have harnessed the power of the atom, but as a bumbling child king- you have no respect for the knowledge bestowed upon you Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Mayak, and Chernobyl are your crimes against humanity The oceans you traverse, cry for for justice- it's inhabitants choking from your refuse Your leaders adopt false narratives and ignore natural law You tout self righteousness- yet your lack of vision dooms you to repeat your endless mistakes In the interest of universal peace, humans have been deemed an unnecessary liability- a foolish child race warranting eternal punishment We are are now ready to pronounce our sentence- this is the end of humanity's evil reign May God have mercy on your wicked souls I can't see the sun I can't feel the sun This is your revelation Your arrogance has determined your fate

lyrics

Resistant to fade, through the eyes of a child, in the wake of a world gone mad Convoluted in thought, is your conduit prayer, swallow salt as the truth denied Rage in your heart, hate in your mind, you want it all The world is not enough Lie on the floor and retch over you, I walk the finest line for the truth You give me all, and yet I have none, just look what you have done Components are made as components destroyed, substitution won't satisfy Addicted to change, you are empty within, cancel thought of opposing side Rage in your heart, hate in your mind, you want it all The world is not enough Lie on the floor and retch over you, I walk the finest line for the truth You give me all, and yet I have none, just look what you have done Lie on the floor and retch over you, I'd set myself on fire for the truth Rage in your heart and hate in your mind, just look what you've become Are you resistant to fade Are you resistant to fade Are you addicted to change Are you resistant to fade The world is not enough

Beauty Fades 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Lost, is when you will find me Like running circles down on your knees You be the sun, and I'll be the rain Circumvention efforts are in vain If your life is an open book show me Before the beauty fades, as all will pass in time Before the beauty fades, as day turns into night Before the beauty fades Found, is when you will be free Somewhere in playback your thoughts have been breached You be the pleasure, I'll be the pain Darkened windows cannot hide your shame If your life is an empty book show me Before the Beauty fades You feel indifferent, I eat the blame Finding out the song remains the same If your life is an open book show me, before the beauty fades Before the beauty fades As all will pass in time Before the beauty fades, as day turns into night Before the beauty fades Beauty fades Before the beauty fades

If You Were To Be 04:16
lyrics
buy track
What you want is what you need Tell me what you want to be What you will and what you won't A bitter pill I hope you don't When you speak your mind Does it set you free If you were to be, everything you read Coming from behind, could you find your way Blinded by success, failing to pervade Upside down and inside out Tell me what you're all about Where you've been and where you are Hidden roads can take you far When you speak your mind Does it set you free If you were to be, everything you read Coming from behind, could you find your way Blinded by success, failing to pervade Accept the end as it's meant to be The world goes on without you and me Holding on before you part Live your life like a dying art If you were to be If you were to be If you were to be If you were to be If you were to be If you were to be

Bone Collector 03:55
lyrics

Photograph the living dead As they sing lightly by their graves Sing a song of conquered worlds They quietly wait for your reply Cuz you're the bone collector now You're the bone collector now You're the bone collector now There's too many pictures in this frame You find them meaningless, and walk away Unknown places faces begin to wail They quietly wait for your demise Cuz you're the bone collector now You're the bone collector now You're the bone collector now Cuz you're the bone collector now You're the bone collector now You're the bone collector now Cuz you're the bone collector now You're the bone collector now, now now You're the bone collector now

Voltaire Nouveau 04:17
lyrics
buy track
Could it be your lying eyes deceive you, like a vision in the mist When I read between the lines I find you, a hidden pulse within the wrist It's Voltaire Nouveau It's Voltaire Nouveau It's Voltaire Nouveau Stuck behind a wall a stranger calls you, like a war drum on the move A crack of light within the door jamb shows two, lovers deep within the night It's Voltaire Nouveau It's Voltaire Nouveau It's Voltaire Nouveau If there's a hundred million lies between us, do we really want to know If it's the hand of fate that leads and guides us, or is it faith nobody knows It's Voltaire Nouveau

Forever And A Day 03:30
lyrics
buy track
What will be said in time, of days when we lived so recklessly As faces became unkind, and people could not agree Why, why can't we be free, to live our lives, the way they're meant to be It's only forever, only forever, only forever and a day to me Only forever, if life is the treasure, it's only forever and a day to me. What will we leave behind, to show we were here, to say we were free Would they respond in kind, or will they even see It's only forever, only forever, only forever and a day to me Only forever, if life is the treasure, it's only forever and a day to me. Why, why can't we be free, to live our lives, the way they're meant to be It's only forever, only forever, only forever and a day to me Only forever, if love is the treasure, It's only forever and a day to me It's only forever, and a day to me It's only forever, and a day to me

The Watchman 04:09
lyrics

Who'll be the watchman, waiting on the wall, his eyes out toward the east Who'll be the one man, just before the fall, to light the signal fires, to warn us one and all If you were the last man standing, could you save us all If you were the chosen one, would you accept the call Who'll be the leader, waiting in the hall, with voice that leads to peace Who'll be the first man, to rise above them all To be the guiding light, to lead us one and all If you were the last man standing, could you save us all If you were the chosen one, would you accept the call If you were the last man standing, could you save us all If you were the chosen one, would you accept the call If you were the last man standing, could you save us all If you were the chosen one, would you accept the call

Life Clich`e 04:35
lyrics
buy track
How many times can you bring yourself back to face Before the ultimate goal is reached, to end your chase The world can only hold you back, so long as you allow It is your decision to succeed or fail Stand or fall to find yourself Win or lose it's all the same Walk or run your there no faster than the prey Sink or swim it's just a game Fix your eyes up to the skies, and live another day The sun still rises in the east, no matter what they say Check your fear - defy the odds - break down the walls that may Sanitize your living soul, it's weaker by the day Sell yourself for avarice, to live the life cliche Stand Stand or fall reveal yourself Win or lose, you're still their slave Walk or run, you're losing ground most every day Sink or swim, it's just a game Fix your eyes up to the skies, and live another day The sun still rises in the east, no matter what they say Check your fear - defy the odds - break down the walls that may Sanitize your living soul, it's weaker by the day Sell yourself for avarice, to live the life cliche Stand or fall to find yourself Win or lose it's all the same Walk or run your there no faster than the prey Sink or swim it's just a game

Gravity 04:20
lyrics
buy track
It's easy to compare- pain and pleasure- when you- disconnect what brought you there Blood and treasure- exact the measure- of the lives- of those you leave behind What is on the other side Would you save a place for me Is gravity the same Will we know each others name Hidden from the face of men Pushing faith beyond the breaking point Its risky when you share- lies and secrets- when you- betray the souls that bare Hell or heaven- ask the question- if you- you find you might be there What is on the other side Would you save a place for me Is gravity the same Will we know each other’s name What is on the other side Would you save a place for me Is gravity the same Will we know each others name What is on the other side Would you say a prayer for me Is gravity the same
