or the innocent
When the blood disappears its a phony absolution for the sheep with no sight

The time is at hand
To nurture the land
To drink from the sand
Honor the seasons

The stories I've heard
Defaming the Word
Defining absurd
I know the reasons now

Save us from medication
Fill us with new sensations
Curse the land

When the dead walk the earth it's a sign for the innocent
When the base turns to gold it's a secret that the magic's hiding place is found out

My spirit's at ease
At one with the seas
I hear the decrees
Knowledge is Power
The voices are sweet
Till one day we'll meet
The end of deceit
The sacred hour now

Lead us out of temptation
Guide us into salvation
Curse my hand

When the dark hides the light its a cloak for the innocent
When the blood disappears its a phony absolution for the sheep with no sight
When the dead walk the earth it's a sign for the innocent
When the base turns to gold it's a secret that the magic's hiding place is found out


2. Death Comes Tomorrow


I felt the scorching of the sun
The unforgiving ground beneath me
I heard the crackling of the rain
The strikes of lightning came to set me free

I split the darkness with the light
I crumbled mountains at my sight
Slept beneath the naked sky
All to answer questions
Why I crash through waves of torment
And leave behind a trail that no man can see

Black skies illuminating
My destiny is waiting now
Death Comes Tomorrow
Let me be

I drank the blood from my own lips
The taste surprisingly deceived me
Ten thousand miles of scars I bear
Even vultures know to leave me be

I crushed the serpent with a smile
I spoke with Jesus for a while
Waved the comets from the sky
All to give me answers
Why I dream in colors that I've never seen
And wake to find that nothing seems real

Black skies illuminating
My destiny is waiting now
Death Comes Tomorrow
My jaws are salivating
The dogs of war are waiting now
Death comes tomorrow
Let me be

Come now my son
Your journey is ending
So rest in peace
Disciple ascending
Today the world will mourn your soul

Why I crash through waves of torment
And leave behind a trail that no man can see

Black skies illuminating
My destiny is waiting now
Death Comes Tomorrow
My jaws are salivating
The dogs of war are waiting now
Death comes tomorrow
Let me be

I saw the lights shine far away
The streets of gold lay down beneath me
It was the best of days to die
Now the blessed come to set me free


3. Gather Up The Snow


Time, my public enemy, deciding what I see
A blessing and a curse for all mankind
The wasted grip of death
Is beaten by my breath
I hold on to the diamonds in my mind,
And everywhere I go,
I gather up the snow
and mix it with the rays of sunlight's fire
So now the game is waiting
The past is slowly fading
But never will I let my treasures go

Disillusion is an empty glass of broken reasons
Taste the waters of the flowing streams and know that they are wondrous
I don't want to fade away
I don't want to lose the day

Fight, obliterate the pain
Appreciate the gain
And understand that life is such a gift
And time will take its toll
While bearing down your soul
But nothing ever can steal who you are
I see it every day
I'm not afraid to say
That there is only one road paved with gold
Intentions guide your path
And deviate the wrath
So undermine the chains that bind you

Isolation is the beast that keeps you from ascending
Find the road to everlasting peace and know that it is precious
I don't want to fade away
I don't want to lose the day
I don't want to fade away
I don't want to lose the day

Someday soon the world will sing a different tune
And all God's creatures will as one eclipse the moon

I see it every day
I'm not afraid to say
That there is only one road paved with gold
Intentions guide your path
And deviate the wrath
So undermine the chains that bind you

Disillusion is an empty glass of broken reasons
Taste the waters of the flowing streams and know that they are wondrous
I don't want to fade away
I don't want to lose the day
I don't want to fade away
I don't want to lose the day
I don't want to fade away


4. The Great Divide


The time to cease has come
Our day beneath the sun
Eyes glowing rays to see
Lies that desecrate me

And I fall down
on my knees that tend to break
I'm losing sleep
Wondering how our lives they infiltrate

Into your Father's eyes
You are beloved
You are the royalty
Across the Great Divide
We are relentless
To separate the treasure from the thief

And now the end is near
The way to choose is clear
Wide open skies above
Fly with wings that save me

As I look down
To the center of creation
They curse my name
With burning lips
No thirst to satiate

Into your Father's eyes
You are beloved
You are the royalty
Across the Great Divide
We are relentless
To separate the dragon from the meat

And we stand strong
Looking down at the hell we've made

Into your Father's eyes
You are beloved
You are the royalty
Across the Great Divide
We are relentless
To separate the treasure from the thief
Across the Great Divide
Across the Great Divide
Across the Great Divide


5. Take The Bullet


Coldness and wet
The ground was frozen
Our minds were dead
and disillusioned by fire
It was a dead zone
It was a war zone
It was our only home
With the pleasantries of battle
But how else could we see it
I'll take the bullet for you

Follow me
Follow me

Piercing the flesh
The world was waiting
For pictures and wounds and death
So beautifully wondrous
It was a good time
It was a landmine
A bloody fun time
With the happiness of battle
But how else could we see it
I'll take the bullet for you

Follow me
Follow me

And when the dogs of war should cease
Lay in the belly of the beast
I will then lay my hands on you
And welcome you warmly to life in the human zoo

6. Bow Your Head


I saw your photograph
A baby boy with rare afflictions
I saw your mother as she prayed beside your crib
I watched your father as he smiled and proudly
gazed upon his son
Only wished he had a better life to give

Not a day goes by that I don't hang my head and cry
So shame on us
As we wallow in our sorrow like there's no tomorrow

Bow Your Head
Beneath the wings of angels
as they come to take your hurt away
Bow Your Head
And all the world will take your hand and pave
A golden road for you

Take these words I say
And put them snugly 'neath your pillow
And set your eyes upon
the crescent of the moon
Listen to the songs
Their lullabies to soothe your restless nights
Sung by ancient souls
The guardians of your fight

While your inspiration makes me
such a better man
Know my child that you will one day
be free
Free from all the pain that binds you

Bow Your Head
Beneath the wings of angels
as they come to take your hurt away
Bow Your Head
And all the world will take your hand and pave
A golden road for you

While your inspiration makes me
such a better man
Know my child that you will one day
be free
Free from all the pain that binds you

Bow Your Head
Beneath the wings of angels
as they come to take your hurt away
Bow Your Head
And all the world will take your hand and pave
A golden road for you
Bow Your Head
Beneath the angels' wings
As they come to take you home again
To make your body whole again
May you find your peace and smile forever

7. Caged In


There's a pressure mounting in my head
There's a three headed monster hiding under bed
There's a banshee screaming in my throat
I'm a haven for aggravation

What a feeling
Raging

Catch a killer hang him by his neck
Catch a worthless killer hang him by his neck
Catch a worthless killer hang him by his neck
I'm your superhero connection

What a feeling
Raging

Draw conclusions
I don't care
I'm in your mind and I like it there
You love the same things I despise
You're not my answer, no, no, no

There's a little man living in my head

He's the product of my intentions

Draw conclusions
I don't care
I'm in your mind and I like it there
You love the same things I despise
You're not my answer, no, no, no

Resurrection
I can't contain the beast within
It moves right through me
This red light I see
I can't control the suffering

There's a pressure mounting in my head
There's a pressure mounting in my head
There's a volcanic pressure mounting in my head
I'm a haven for everyone's bullshit

What a feeling
Raging

Draw conclusions
I don't care
I'm in your mind and I like it there
You love the same things I despise
You're not my answer, no, no, no

8. Soul Disease


Run, run from the way we are
Never look back
It's too late, we have gone too far

Now take your leave
Wear your heart on your sleeve
Chase the stars tonight

Mine, Mine is the jaded past
Fight through the fires and
fly on the wings that were made to last

Now run away
On this dark holiday
Find the stars tonight

One step closer to the end of my rope
With the weight of the world on a slippery slope
Justified for every act we do
As I watch you fly with the greatest of ease
You could level every kingdom from wherever you please
Just don't take from me
I could use some sympathy
To put my mind at ease
Cant you see
Find the cure
My soul disease

Feed off the world you scorn
Maybe one day soon
We will be reborn

One step closer to the end of my rope
With the weight of the world on a slippery slope
Justified for every act we do
As I watch you fly with the greatest of ease
You could level every kingdom from wherever you please
Just don't take from me
I could use some sympathy
To put my mind at ease
Cant you see
Find the cure
My soul disease


9. Lava On My Tongue


Fear was kind on the day of peace
Mind was cool in this time of release
Tempt my soul with visions of times that we'll never see
Taste the blood and sweat of passion
And touch the wind and sky
It's something you need

Too much anger in my space
All a lie to me
Want to start a fire in my mind
Set my demons free
Keep a little vengeance in your eyes
It helps to find the sun
Lava on my tongue

Feeling cold
As the days disappear
Holding on
I perservere

Lift your hands and reach
Surrender the hate on which you feed
Crawling on bellies
Engorged like a tick
How I feel the love and pain
It's something I need

Too much anger in my space
All a lie to me
Want to start a fire in my mind
Set my demons free
Keep a little vengeance in your eyes
It helps to find the sun
Lava on my tongue

Lying patiently beneath his wings
He waits for me to cross the line
Tigerlike he so enjoys the game
Letter to the design
Pouncing upon what is mind

Fear was kind on the day of peace
Mind was cool in this time of release
Tempt my soul with visions of times that we'll never see
Taste the blood and sweat of passion
And touch the wind and sky
It's something you need

Too much anger in my space
All a lie to me
Want to start a fire in my mind
Set my demons free
Keep a little vengeance in your eyes
It helps to find the sun
Oh I fear what I've become
Lava on my tongue


10. My Apologies


Hey Son
Take my hand
Hear my words
Live them best as you can

As we tried to make this good
We became misunderstood
God help us
Go Son

Hey now
Swim the seas
Say your rosaries
Hey now
Give it your best
Put the broken lies to rest

Hey Son
This I swear
Deep in your heart
I will always be there

If this old world gets you down
Look for me and you'll be found
God help us
Go Son

Hey now
Love is free
Sleep so peacefully
Hey now
Look to the skies
Let the light shine in your eyes

I am the bird without a song
I am the right that cures the wrong
I am the wisdom of the trees
Please accept my apologies

Hey now
Swim the seas
Say your rosaries
Hey now
Give it your best
Put the broken lies to rest
Hey now
Love is free
Sleep so peacefully
Hey now
Look to the skies
Let the light shine in your eyes
