Intro – (oh, come on.) Fear will strangle / every heart. It’s easy to succumb. Light will fade / And monuments will crumble. This life’s a fragile thing. The sorrow will take hold; have the strength to carry on. Before the light of day, you will take your place. - Lead Section - Find the power, free your heart. Force the world to bend upon your will. The wind will throttle and the seas will sway. Deny your heart and you will fade away. The sorrow will take hold; have the strength to carry on. Before the light of day / shines hope upon your eyes, You’ll face / the dark! - 2 measure break - Find the power / and free your heart. Force the world to bend upon your will. The wind will throttle / and the seas will rage & sway. Deny the sorrow that grips your heart / and you will find your strength. - Lead Section - This sorrow will take hold; have the strength to carry on. Before the light of day, you will find a hard earned peace / upon a scarlet throne. So heavy lies the crown. Upon a troubled brow it stays, until the end of days.

I see the sky grow dark; the stars are losing flame. The earth is cracked & scarred. This world is at its end. And no one seems to care. Their thoughts are occupied / With dreams of finding fortune / and needless luxury. It’s nothing but madness; debauchery! Is this the life / I’m dying for? No, it’s not my intention to see us fall so far. If these are people I would rather die in shame. This is the turning point, there’s no way we can know / if we will fall to the end / or rise up as a people. Am I a fool for thinking that we deserve more / that just the scraps swept from the table to the floor? Tell me how you sleep / knowing your world’s squandered. There’s little hope for future / generations. No one seems to care. You don’t, I’m not surprised.You’re blinded by delusions / of grandeur! You are a slave to your machines. You are a slave, you know it well. This is the turning point, there’s no way we can know / if we will fall to the end / or rise up as a people. Am I a fool for thinking that we deserve more / that just the scraps swept from the table? You are a slave / to the machines. You know it well. You are a slave to your machines. You know it well. You are a slave! This is a turning point, there’s no way we can know / if we fall to the end / or rise up as a people. Am I a fool for thinking that we deserve more / that just the scraps swept from the table to the floor?

Intro no vox - Execution of half measures / get you only so far. In what world could you stand with us? There is so much setting us apart. Don't lie to us all. You're not what you've claimed to be. You don't even measure up. It's plain to see; you're lying to yourself. - Lead bridge no vox - I / have lived this life; I know an impostor / when I see him with my eyes. Get over yourself now. Save the masquerade, I'm not the one / who sees the light. I hold the pain within my heart / simply to carry on. Believe I know; these eyes saw right through. Delusions fall so careful into place. - bridge no vox (verse riff) - I can see your heart; your cowardice. The blatant disregard for truth. Did you take me for a fool? How could you think I would not see? The shadow to which you cling is where I make my home. The sonnet of lies you sing will be etched upon your tomb. Save the masquerade, I'm not the one who sees the light. I hold the pain within my heart simply to carry on.- break - "This oath I swear" I will etch your lies upon your tomb. I'll shatter stone upon my fist. This oath I swear. This oath I swear.

I have lost / everything / that I hold dear in this life / to you and / your disgrace. I fall to earth just like a star / across the cold night sky. I’m crashing down unto my end. - 1 measure break – All / will have to fall. You’ll have to crawl. How else could you stand up and walk again? It’s all in vain, you will remain. You might be alone, but you’re not the same. The dark turns to light, no matter the strife... You only need strength of will. Do not fear / your heart. To see this through, take care of you. Don’t believe a soul / will save you. It’s all too clear: This love I fear / gets better if I / release you here. But I don’t want to... All this time was not a waste. Or maybe so... It seems we will not ever know. This brotherhood / held so closely to my heart / is torn to tatters. By and far, it’s laid to rest. Just see it through. Take care of you. Don’t believe a soul / will save you. It’s all too clear: This love I fear / gets better if I / release you here. But I don’t want to... All this time was not a waste. Or maybe so... It seems we will never know. We will never know... We will never know. Just see it through. Take care of you. Don’t believe a soul / will save you. It’s all too clear: This love I fear / gets better if I / release you here. But I don’t want to... All this time was not a waste. Maybe so... We will never know.

Intro – (oh.) Life fades / as I close my eyes. I’m human, but I’m dead inside. I / strike fear into the dark; for I am a necessary evil. I / can / hear / the---/ phantoms calling out my name. Fear / will / give way--- / to the rage within my heart. I / hear / you; but I’m listening no more! So quick to find conclusion; so soon you seek to judge. This darkened heart is shielding you from darker ones. - 1 X no vox – I am necessary evil, holding evil at bay. I’m hopeful yet hopeless: Yearning for a better world. Life has become lifeless, all souls become living decay. All Live fades as I close my eyes. I am human, but inside I’m dead. I’m dead and gone. So quick to find conclusion; so soon you seek to judge. This darkened heart is shielding you from darker ones. So quick to find conclusion; so soon you seek to judge. This darkened heart is shielding you from darker ones. I / strike fear into the dark; for I am a necessary evil.

It’s such a simple thing that I am asking for: The right to exist; just as you do. Believe me when I say this is worth dying for. I’ll have my prize, no matter the cost. Look into my eyes; see the power that rises within me. I am more than what you see; I’m stronger than evil incarnate. Beyond the fringes I have been; and I have seen into the void. There’s hope beyond the edge. Take the higher road. Take control of your hollow life this day. The world will bring you down. You have the strength to fight back for who you are. Find your power from within. I spite the tragedy though it is beautiful. I close my eyes and try to hear you. It makes so little sense, despite your logic. There’s no reasoning, believe me. Take a look in my eyes, see the power that rises. Take a look in my eyes, see the power that rises within. Look into my eyes; see the power that rises within me. I’m more than you see. Take the higher road. Take control of your hollow life this day. The world will bring you down. You have the strength to fight back for who you are. Take the road. Take control of your hollow life this day. The world will bring you down. You have the strength to fight back for who you are. Find your power from within

Intro no vox – Hell; the place we’re sent to suffer / for / all / time... The place of my rebirth. It’s there that I thrived; where nothing could survive. The fire rises from within to burn all life. Now is the time; you / should / flee. I’ve come here to conquer, and all / shall / fall. - 1 measure break – I’m the manifest of... all / you / fear. Your dreams become / my haunt/ing / grounds. No evil can counter my ire. - short rest – This vengeance / guides / my / hands, like light will guide the growing leaves. Now is the time; flee before my wrath. I’ve come here to conquer / and all / shall / fall.I’m the manifest of all you fear. Your dreams become my prey. No evil can counter my ire. Nothing’s greater than my wrath. I – will see you suffer this night. Now is the time; you / should / flee. Now is the time... Now is the time.

Too long this synergy has all been in vain It seems civility has all been a waste. I / stand tall / with nothing but my pride. There is little more that I can do. There is naught of sorrow I cannot speak. I've seen the end. Though they outnumber us, (We call to arms) we must withstand the siege. (We will overcome) Too long this synergy has all been in vain (it's all been in vain) It seems civility has all been a waste. (it's all been a waste) I know / you'd see me fall. It's not enough that you succeed; all others must fail for you to feel the joy of ripping victory from the jaws of defeat. I won't / die for you / to feel alive. I will survive. In this life / we face a war. I'm seeking peace, but I will fight to any end... Even Death. Through the ashes from whence we came; the body dies. The will remains. Through the ashes, fire and flame, my soul survives. I will reclaim. And I will never cease. I will not cease! I cannot / I will not / I'll never cease my damned assault. Remember / these embers / keep burning / in and all throughout. And through the ashes from whence we came, my spirit will survive. Through the ashes from whence we came; the body dies. The will remains. Through the ashes, fire and flame, my soul survives. I will reclaim. Too long we fought for us to fall here in vain. Carry the torch and see your sacrifice repaid.
