Lyrics


1. BENEATH

Everything is rising again
The things I thought were dead
The past is trying to breath
To tear apart this life

Everything is dying away
Against my dying will
Against my dying cries
The world is turning red

I see no pain
I feel no pain
Until the end
To wake beneath the rain

I know nothing lasts so long
My patience waits
I feel no remorse
I know no pain

Beneath this, beneath this there once was hope
There once was warmth
Just one word, just one prayer is all I need
To save me from myself


2. UNDONE

I want nothing more than this
All my life I've been waiting

I want something more than this
All this time I've been waiting

Into my eyes, another storm
Watch as the hours pass me by
Rain is coming down
It's just one heartbeat away

Watch as the days go by
As another sun sets in my eyes
As another morning calls
My heartbeat fades

I am undone


3. I FOR AN I

Here is life
It's not that I don't care, it's that I can't remember
A time before
A life went passing by me leaving so many questions
Here is life
And what I've lost means more with every passing moment
The sands within are growing thin
And still I search to find a reason why

As the reasons die
Hold on to life
Watch the ending rise
I for an I

Here lies trust
Beneath a static sky foundations shift and crumble
As life stands still
Grasping at some faint remembrance left to guide us
Here is life
A frozen moment shines into a life suspended
Like dying light
It lingers long into the dark night's never ending skies

With you I find the need
The need for something more
To last this fragile night
Into the dawn
Trace my steps and watch that you might find
Some piece of me that's lost
The way is not so far
Though not so close as home…


4. MANY MILES

A single light still shines at night to speak your name
And the miles go by like years on this old road
And though I'm tired I cannot stop to rest my eyes
For the wheels, they turn like time

In my mind you're always somewhere just ahead
Looking back to hear the words that went unsaid
As the miles roll by in silence all the while
I feel your presence at my side

No need for words, time moves on
If in the end there's something more
All this will seem strange and small
Hope in the end is something more


5. STILL

The ice runs on for miles
With solitude so close
We end another day
And stars light up the skies
So lay your hand in mine
Your head upon my arm
The stars, they burn like eyes
The stars all burn for us

Come stand by me, laughter calls and drives the wind
It binds us close alone but for
The sparks of heaven's smile
Knowing you're here I will carry on with you
To walk the world, through heavens gate
We'll shine and light the sky

We have come so far, yet there is far to go
Still the stars burn bright; still our eyes burn true
And as the worlds we walk alone
And as the stars, we will never fade


6. FOREVER GREY

I cannot sleep alone again
For my fears are gaining
I hear a cry, it sounds so faint
But I know it won't be long
With her voice something old
Echoes through the evening
And all is still beside my heart
And all that's left is waiting

In the mist she sways
Forever pale, forever grey
(Into the night she's calling)

My terror grows and I can't see
Through the fog so thick outside
I lay so still with eyes held wide
Counting minutes ‘til the dawn
She peers inside, her laughter screams
As she scratches at the door
I lay so still with death in sight
As the rain begins to fall

And the thunder roars like hell
Through the world tonight
The one who should not be
Is closing in
And the door now opens wide
Her footsteps can be heard
The one who should not live
Is just outside


7. IF TONIGHT

They seem so far
The days when we first met
Two years have passed
So much has changed around us

In my life you are a ray of light
Tonight if I should die
Hold my heart within your eyes

I still recall
Your face from so long ago
Two voices spoke
Of hope from a distant place
And still this day
Your eyes flow like the sea

In my life you are the stars that shine
Tonight if I should die
Lay me by the water side

When you are lost I will be there waiting for you


8. ANOTHER WAY

All this time everything felt so real as
All this time everything passed away
Another world crashes through the night
And another world fades away leaving dust in its darkness

I'll find another way if I am still alive
And I will lift my head toward the sky
To find my way

I fought so hard just to see what was real
Or just to prove what I wanted to believe
Another year crashes through my mind
As another thought carries all that is lost to an ending


9. LAST DAYS

In this place the winds blow colder
And the nights are long
I fear your life will soon be over
Like a fading song

The cries, a scream to reach the sky
Will we all die before the sun can rise?
I hear their cries…

And your face seems somehow altered
Something swims below
If I live to be much older
I fear I'll be alone
For your stare speaks something so insane
And I know you won't be saved tonight


10. A TIME BEFORE

(No lyrics available)


11. AWAKE

I am the end
I am the past again
I watched a dead world falling down
I walk a path defined by death and fire
To watch this planet burn

I wake to find life and death are one
The dreams of man are realized
I am the seed
I am all evil born
Into a world of lies

I am the reason for your death and
I am the on to cast you aside for
I am the future and the past now
Another season lost to time
I'll watch this planet burn
Die!


12. A DYING WORLD

Standing high above the crawling wasted world
Another day goes by and still we carry on
Run another stretch of road that knows no end
Watch the fires burn beneath the blackened sky

Standing high above the crawling wasted world
Look close as cities fall,
Stark white the bombs explode
And we carry on, and still the story goes,
For there is no end, no shelter from this age
Bright the running lights remind me of my home
But blackened steel and bitter dust still call my heart

Shadowed hands tight beneath the blackened sky
Shadowed words hold true and
Nothing stands as strong before this storm
As life is so short and tomorrow might not come for us
I will not fall, no pain can hold, and still I have a smile

In a world decayed we walk against the fall
Watching as the past burns down, and future builds a future bold
I live to breathe, to feel as real
For death looks on an ever changing world
