19 Months & counting
Pride with vision but a soul of shame. Conditioned by belief only until someone's to blame. Oppression leads to much greatness, however heroes die where demons reign. This twisted fate ... our twist of fate. Voices will go through my head and we will rise. This is never enough ... letting everyone's hate breed love ... he won't bring me down.
Blind the countless, but break the gates. Dry the wells and build the hate. Poison their hearts to contaminate and let your lungs break out of the plague. All this building hate will eventually light a way. The cries won't go down in vain.
Don't dig it up and don't look down, you've got to know that you aren't bound. You can turn this thing around and not be grinded. Kill your fear and stand your ground, bury the clocks deep underground. Looking back will only bring me to a halt ... the shackled can't break the walls after all.
I'm standing still, feeding the cold. Binding meaning to serve the soul. I'm drifting away, to a distant place. We'll mold the clay to start a new day. I'm breaking apart the pieces ... I'm pushing 'em so far away. All my thoughts are dead ...but your still alive.
Can we pretend to be? When our souls aren't free? So, I'll fill up the spaces with what's left to feel. I'll bury the dead and feed on what's to be. Follow the trail to trace out the faith. Let the rivers fill to wash away the hate.
I would like to see what you've done to me.
Captivated within my own will. I conquered the time while it just stood still. I have abandoned emotions within me, reaching what you call divinity. Guardians of the Gates; Will you let me escape my fate?
Blinded by this hate I lost what I loved too late. Would you let me heal? Is there some time that I can steal?
Focused on what bought me to this state. I lost the love I had for my hate. I won't allow myself to bow down, to the misery I once called my own.
These walls can't hold me down, servitude won't kill me now. I'll dig a way out ... these shackles won't hold me down. I will not break, I will not feel. These words won't feed on what is real anymore. Let me escape; Will you show me how?
I've got my penny eyes ... I lived for a fool's lie.
Must you lift the stones to give us the way? I'll find the unknown and serve as your slave. Don't reason with me. Your live on the cross to eliminate the grey. I remember the taste, when you were left to blame. Remember all the names that left me with yesterday. Remember the tears that engraved my mind with hate. I will never give in to fear ... overcoming my fate.
I can't forgive ... hate is all I feed on. I won't lose the will to live when hatred is at dawn. Your reasoning has failed and my fists are clenched.
THE TRUTH HAS PREVAILED.
I know this will end but I can't comprehend. You've lost everything ... but I am still drowning. You're making me fall on my knees. Everything I knew was never really there. If it was easy I would not complain. If I could just reach there would be less tears.
I cannot take a step because I am a wreck. Something is wrong. I cannot breathe ... I cannot feel. Is this called life? Is this what’s real?
Please show me something real ... something I can feel. I'll fight and break away from your shades of gray.
Everything can't be like you want it to be. So that’s the reason why we disagree.
I'll break away from these shades of gray.
Can you read between the lines? Do not fret my friend ... we never had much time to begin with.
I don't remember it being this clear, when theres pain to bear. I'm overdone with fear. I stand here voicing an unanswered prayer. So come, let’s just light the fuse. Dwelling in a world with no time to lose. His power here has been abused. Too many dreams have been refused.
Yes, it can change ... I can throw away the chains.
