Year Zero 03:26
lyrics

Will I ever learn Is it up to me to leave this womb so warm This child was born innocent So much I don't know Will I ever find out what life should be Is this world for me or just a mistake of the fates What devils lurk in the man I will be Will I float, will I drown Should I look or just wait and see I'm sure there's so much more I'm sure that there's something there for me I want to strike out and make life matter What devils lurk in the man I will be Will I float, will I drown Should I look or just wait and see One step, then nine A crawl to a sprint Drifting in time A battle of life Heaven sent

Conjured 03:48
lyrics

Half-way between heaven and the earth Both mundane and devine The infinite is just a touch away There is magic in this world All you need is right before you Walk the path I show Innocence can fuel your heart There's wonder everywhere Look around and hear the words of time A boundless stream awaits your mind Walk the path I show The air you breathe, the earth you walk Show the mystery to me I want to believe in magic This sword cuts both ways But you can see it's worth A weary world is hungery for your soul The æther calls out to your heart Walk the path I show Water falls to quench your thirst The fire in your soul still burns I want to believe in magic I want to believe in magic

The Endless Well 02:48
lyrics

Just beyond the senses I feel it in my heart The mystery of love The sadness of knowing There are infinite doors open to me A key to happiness Waiting patiently There is an endless spring That I can draw on It's right behind my eyes Wake me up, I have something to teach Lift this veil, and find what you seek The innocence of truth The power to create A world to your liking

I don't know what I don't know But the pieces are all there In no uncertain terms The path is certainly clear A sword in the night points the way I cut to the heart of the matter I have the strength to see this journey through I just don't know how yet I can see the answers, I can make my way Through all the twists and turns A truth takes wing and lights my way A sword in the night points the way I cut to the heart of the matter I have the strength to see this journey through I just don't know how yet I have the strength I have the strength To see this journey through

We are born beloved A brand new world to our eyes In the silver circle We take our place in life Mother, show me the world I will go through There's beauty in a smile Our nature is revealed A mother's love is endless Abundant brilliance shines A crown of stars lights the way back home And she knows I must go This world is far too big But she tries to teach me All I need to know Mother knows I must go And be a fool, if I must

I don't want this life There's no room to dream in this world Misfit! Misfit! Step in line! Step in line! Step in line! Step in line!

I know there's so much more I know there's so much more out there Misfit! Break your back Misfit! Earn your bread Misfit! Break your back Misfit! Earn your bread Misfit! Misfit! Step in line! Step in line! Step in line! Step in line!

Out here all alone They still find me here Selling me their platitudes Selling me their lies, unwanted "Join with us! We'll save your life!" "You belong to our kind!" I may not know the secrets I may not know where I'm going But I know what I'm meant to be I'm alive "Join with us! We'll make you new!" "We know what you have to do!" I'm far too in love with living I'll never wear your noose I may not know where I'm going But I know who I am I'm far too in love with living I'll never wear your noose I may not know where I'm going But I know who I am I know who I am I know who I am

I see the love in your eyes Shining like the sun I believe in the signs As two souls become one A lover's kiss A warm embrace Chase the clouds away A moment of bliss A smiling face A love for all time I don't want to miss my chance Love is there for me A love so real, it hurts It can't be far away A lover's kiss A warm embrace Chase the clouds away A moment of bliss A smiling face A love for all time

Grail 03:56
lyrics

My cup runs over With blessings I can't ignore I feel so alive And I don't feel so down anymore This feeling passes by I can't remember why It felt so wrong To hold a song in my life I found a reason why It's alright to cry For every down, there's an upside My cup runs over With dreams of tomorrow I know I'll survive Any pain or sorrow My life can turn out right And I can survive tonight It's only time, it's in my mind It's what I know All the world around They're frightened by the sound Of endless doubts, they scream and shout Silently Find these words I need I'm dreaming of that day

I feel powerful, I feel the same Life is bountiful, but I'm not afraid I'm strong enough, I'm weak enough The strength I need is all in my mind If I think I can, then I can and I will I know they hunt me They want to drag me down I don't believe in shutting down All I can be I'm strong enough, I'm weak enough I'm strong enough, I'm weak enough The strength I need is all in my head If I think I can, then I can and I will The strength I need is all in my mind If I think I can, then I can and I will

Anchoret 03:50

What am I doing here Is this real or some fever dream I really wonder why we die I really wonder what the point of living is Am I awake Could you point the way that leads me home Are there really any secrets to life Is it all just pieces of different puzzles I really wonder if there is a reason I really wonder if anyone know's what it means I feel a sickness Sticky and sweet, something's wrong with me I really wonder if I'll make it home I really wonder if anything is known for sure Is anything real

I see visions of the universe I see how the pieces fit Circles within circles Spinning teeth make the gears turn Still the wheel spins Atom by atom Fundimental connections made Every part tied to every piece Everything set in it's place Still the wheel spins Darkness fades and I wake up Was it all just a dream Still the wheel spins

There's a cause tied to every effect You only need to find the reason It all becomes clear in the morning light If you only look There is justice in this universe If you care to see the path you took to get here A karmic force presses through the haze Leading me to a higher answer It all becomes clear, plain as day to me As I only look There is justice in this universe If you care to see the path you took to get here For every effect there lies a cause All I've become gives me pause It all becomes clear as I look out from this tower I can see For every effect there lies a cause For every effect there lies a cause

Time stops, suspended The world stops spinning I'm hanging upside down How long do I hold on Do these dreams hold me down Am I awake in this life The blood rushes to my head Am I at all ready for this world I'm floating in this haze How long do I hold on Do these dreams hold me down Am I awake in this life Valuble treasures in my eyes Does it matter if I'm not alive I'm floating in this haze

Everything changes Everything dies All these changes in my mind Feel a lot like dying Pulling triggers with my eyes I clear away the clutter I pull apart the hidden gems My memory stutters I cut away, I fade away I steal a promise meantfor someone else I hide my face, I find a place I feel a lot like dying here

Money isn't everything How much do you really need With a flip of the coin of fate It could all go away It could all go away A healthy soul is more important You'll have everything you need With a flip of the coin of fate It could all go away It could all go away With a flip of the coin of fate It could all go away It could all go away

The Middle Path 03:05
lyrics

Somewhere in the middle When night turns into day The scales sway, you find your way And a balance is found You can fight the pain Somewhere in the middle Where black turns into white The shades of grey point the way Just before the tipping point You can see what's right For every smile a tear may fall You may sit in silence For every trial a fear is lost You can fight for truth Somewhere in the middle Where heat turns into cold A passion play can keep you warm But first get through the day Sunsets don't make you old For every smile a tear may fall You may sit in silence For every trial a fear is lost You can fight for truth Somewhere in the middle A path hides

The Chain Breaker 04:17
lyrics

A hatred hides deep in my soul An ignorance ingrained, a love I've never known The devils in my brain hold my chains I swing the sword to fight this creature I became I scream out in defiance, I burn with righteous rage I hack away my ignorance, I cut through the lies I stab at my dark black heart, I see with newborn eyes These chains aren't real The devils laugh and taunt me, they claim I've lost my will Hiding in this tower, afraid of what I'll find If I look inside, if I try to break these chains I strip away all pretense, look myself in the eyes There's still a hateful creature hidden deep inside I kick and fight and push and pull and spit in his face A strength inside me swells, I shatter the illusion These chains aren't real I need to break out of here The door seems so clear But something in me won't let me leave I stab into darkness I feel no resistance I am free

Lightning crashes on my head I'm blinded by my own fate A thunder clap rings through my skull I was deaf to my own lies It all comes crashing down in pieces It's nothing but rubble now Falling down, I'm falling down My world comes down to illusions Falling down, I'm falling down Falling down, I'm falling down To my knees

Trumpets blow, the day of judgement comes along And I've been hearing this call all my life I tried to be a ghost I tried to step in line I've felt lost in time I've always known the way I've been hearing the call all my life I forgive myself, I forgive the world in my own way I've been through the wilderness, I fought all my devils dire I've shed my skin I've been reborn I have come alive The world is waiting for that call I've been hearing the call all my life

I belong to life in this world so big I'm diving in I resolve to live and make my world spin I'm diving in tonight I've been on a path my whole life A begger at the door, no more I'm alive The world is calling out I'm listening, I'm listening The world is calling out I'm listening, I'm listening tonight I'm a titan walking, no longer a statue I'm closing in I'm a battle won, I'm standing at the gates I'm crashing in tonight I'm coming back to life, a wiser fool Drifting and aloof, no more I'm alive The world is calling out I'm listening, I'm listening The world is calling out I'm listening, I'm listening tonight The world is calling out I'm listening, I'm listening The world is calling out I'm listening, I'm listening
