These doors are closed to only one These wrongs can never be undone Don’t fight what’s only just begun before tomorrow What you thought was yours I take in my hands Sacrificing virtue like a man Tell me who are you to take a stand? Where were you when you put me through What you said you never meant to do? Now you’re picking up the pieces too Where were you when you put me through What you said you never meant to do? Now you’re picking up the pieces too The last thing you ever want to hear Truth is the only one to fear But here I am and there you sit inside your sorrow As I pass the time they stand in line Look at me I’m doing fine Tell me is this what you had in mind?

Survive 04:32
Breaking out inside, all you will defy Asking others for your chance and still you are denied Things are not what they appear It’s all so clear Walking the line of their design Waiting and watching you try to survive Straight the other way, never waste a day Always had to fall in line, you never had a say, no Things are not what they appear It’s all so clear Walking the line of their design Waiting and watching you try to survive Never any change, life was pre-arranged Hard to know the right direction when you’re filled with shame Things are not what they appear It’s all so clear Walking the line of their design Waiting and watching you try to survive Trusting the fall Not done for you, but done for all

Coming up behind, twenty years gone by Now they’re back again, we must deny All our enemies, their backs will never turn They fed the beast and now the fires burn If we’re to make it by Then cut the circulation If we’re the ones that die Then lead us not into temptation Evil’s back to claim that all is still the same Find the innocent and speak its name Light the fire, burn the page, never stop this selfish game Tearing up their lives, now who’s to blame? If we’re to make it by Then cut the circulation If we’re the ones that die Then lead us not into temptation

The Promise 03:57
Hungry for more of everything that I live for Defy me and pay Look beyond the life of every man, woman, child After all, what can they say? The promise was prosperity And here we lie The promise made to you and me Erased right before my eyes Settle the score Tomorrow continues the war You will not be saved Each man a king with terrors that wait in the wings The power they crave Will you ever see another moment of light? Now it’s time to look to your grave The promise was prosperity And here we lie The promise made to you and me Erased right before my eyes

Mechanized 04:51
Born beyond the world you know Future erases past Suffer yet you don’t succeed Don’t challenge those who ask Innocent are the enemies That’s the only truth they see Separated from reality That’s for you, it’s not for me You have no say in destiny But swore you saw the light Thought you wanted to see tomorrow But then you saw tonight Locked away, hell to pay Holding on for one more day Set aside once cherished lives Not hearing all they have to say

Picture of a man with his life in his hands An open road and nothing close to plans Living a lie or just living to die Are we all just voyeurs to his pain? Search for freedom Even a life can’t buy Never believe again Knowing the well’s gone dry Showing the horrors to all Waiting for justice to call We sit and watch hoping he’ll never stop Never dreaming we’ll open our eyes We look through the window for days As sanity slips away We rediscover the maze Until the night we can only pray Picture if you can an ever-broken man Tried to live his life and take the stand How could it feel? Could this even be real? Are we willing to ask ourselves why? Search for freedom Even a life can’t buy Never believe again Knowing the well’s gone dry Search for freedom Even a life can’t buy Never believe again Knowing the well’s gone dry

Whispers of a better life, the master in the east Living in a wilderness, this master thinks she’s least So much to overcome without a penny to her name Set free from the chains of wasted remains Some paths are clear, no roadblock in sight Living without a care, no thoughts day or night Waiting for the starting gun, you’ve waited all your life Never time to understand, and now it’s time to hide This world was made for them So let them pay the cost You brought them in, now take them out This world we’re in’s not lost Rising out of nothingness, you take your place on high Looking down on where you’ve been, you hardly had to try And still there comes a heavy price for all that you have done If you’re above then she’s below, there’s only room for one This world was made for them So let them pay the cost You brought them in, now take them out This world we’re in’s not lost
8.
The Desert 03:23
Drowning in the desert I see only what I know Thinking that I’ve left behind So many years ago I can only live for one Blinded by the setting sun I find it hard to wonder What else there is for me Never dreamt of going back To what I used to be
