A Welcome Change

A Welcome Change
Give me a moment of peace
To find what came before you died
We prophesized you would find a way
So as one we could survive
Long past time to break your fall today
Once so close to home,
Now we're screaming through the blood and wind
To send your soul away
Depart in conscious mind we find
We don't need a saviour to expose the truth of what we hide
Even when wrong, we're right to shed the skin of our shadows on our own
And leave a brighter sun than we once found
You say we want the same thing, but how?
All of your lies are vital to our pending demise
Long past time to break your fall today
Once so close to home,
Now we're screaming through the blood and wind
To send your soul away
And allow a greater sense of wealth
When the last shadow falls, say it's alright
We don't need a saviour to expose the truth of where we have been
When the last shadow falls say you will bring a welcome change
Peel away the grey
Peel away the grey
I know it hurts
This won't last forever
Break if this tranquillity burns your tongue
Dissonance rings through what they’ve built
Ethereal ocean ingrained in one drop
Our future portrait of endless desire
It’s just a word and nothing more
O' bravest of hearts
Show your unrelenting will and do your part
Survive yourself so we'll outrun this place so unforgiving
Transcend & shine
Higher
Higher
Long past time to break your fall today
Once so close to home,
Now we're screaming through the blood and wind
To send your soul away

You and I, we've come so far
Paid the price of building on earth a paradise
Admire the cunning eyes that I have worn to drawn outside the line
Through the misery and war
A brazen vision to conquer everything but inner space
I’ll admit that we were wrong!
It's such a shame that I
Wouldn't dare to be true to the ways I portray
I've sold the best of myself out
Are you hurting? Are you so deprived?
We'll burn this catatonic age down
It's such a shame that I
Wouldn't dare to embrace my defeat
No giving, no light, I repeat myself in time
Are you hurting? Are you so deprived?
Let’s burn this catatonic age down
Are you taking every twist and turn?
for I have been with you from the beginning of me
I chased you through every corner of this hell
To look you in the eyes
Is this all you'll ever be?
Recall the moment they tore the sun apart
And killed the light that called you home
Stand in the wake of coerced corruption
Break the chain
End it all
Are you hurting? Are you so deprived?
The struggle within is a way out
How long I've waited to see you spread your wings?
How long I've waited to hear you whisper your song?
You’ve searched and crowned the past for far too long
Sing in praise of love,
End it all

As The Waters Rise

Down in a hole, I gave myself in that prayer so long forgotten
Safe from all that haunts me, moved like a pawn by the greatest of powers
Face me now, the omniscient one
Through the fog of inconsequence
Before my last goodbye
Called you across the years of pain, it’s time
To cleanse and purge this house as the waters rise
Awake in the arms of the abyss I come alive
And shatter the illusions of all that I believe is mine
Head down, I crashed upon my pride
While their sweet surrender perished at my hand
Redemption is lost, sceptics are slaves
There’s no home to call their own
Called you across the years of pain, it’s time
To cleanse and purge this house as the waters rise
Awake in a new point of view I reconcile
And shatter the illusions of the light that I believe is mine
We’re running out of time, running out of time
Pushing towards destruction, for all the rules I’ve bent
We live behind the walls that made us go insane
Deliver my wings, deliver my mirror
Exceed all hope of discovering what lies far beyond my reach
Treasure the day I cauterise
And allow the light spill through
Crying out in a hundred silent ways,
Searching for pieces that may be a home
I'm oblivious to your lightening & thunder
To your cruelty, feel my hurt
Someday I'll find a way out of disorder
Need one last chance to reconnect
Dying to feel her hold of care
One gesture, one glance from her
Will take the weight I’ve come to bear

Stepping through the sheltered lines
To find the new projections of you,
I know you’ve been here before
Reclaimed the time this cycle stole
Braved the tides, disintegrated the stars
How the truth disenchants your eyes
Rise above all the noise my love
You hold the fate of this world
You are the last in line to shake
And tear all the temples down
Contemplate what we cannot escape
When all is said and done
Dilate my world
The angles must disappear
Squandering a thousand lives
For we are united by fear
Take this ancient fire
In your naked hands
Watch how the symbols fly
To bury all the answers underground
You are the last in line to shake
And tear all the temples down
Contemplate what we cannot escape
When all is said and done,
Praise my landing (on the other side)
On the tail of the sunrise
Fragments of hope spiral inside
Revelations bring sacrifice
Dilate my world
The angles must disappear
Take on my burden, show and tell the exit is near
Dilate my world
Until I tune into a place much higher
Give up the semblance of obedience before the end is near
Obsessions have bent and shaped my mind
Now black is all I feel

I depend on this mutating light
That keeps me ignorant and safe
Bate to steal my armour
& forge my chain
I say too late, I’m worn & defeated
By all this mediocrity
While the crowns of thoughts
Stage the battles that we wage
I search the beyond within and without
So you’ll find some peace tonight

So glad to see you disobey your eyes
And silence the doors of pain and desolation
You’ve buried beneath the stones and found at last
An ocean worthy of adoration
Hold on
Rise through the mountains of division
Past the frightening whirlpools of derision
And trace the path for all human light
Die to see the beacon of our insight
Around the bend, let it echo through their hearts
Our new beginning is here in love
In the name of truth
In the name of choice
They're out there to forge my chain
Running for the cure, hiding from the cause
They’re mere reflections of what once had come and gone
I will be moving on while you are fighting our father’s wars
And face the evil that never stops
He got my tongue, I got the spear
Prospered on my illusion to break away
To see through the tears that are meant to breed much pain

When will they open their eyes?
Our place is placeless
Between the sand & stardust
A trace of the traceless
Through every catastrophe and creation there’s
A mention of our name
Lies in resurrection of beauty and pain
Our seamless vision of a world fallen to rise and ignite again
I'm trapped and doomed inside this womb,
I will not die here in shit and blood
Crushing the walls, I choke on my bones
The cord is cut, doubt comes alive
Your heedless breath defames my name
Rips the veil that hides your pain
Howling all the while, “the choice is mine”
One moment in annihilation’s waste
One moment for the peace of mind to taste
Searching hope, though it’s much too late
There’s still a chance to unseal your fate
