1.	A Blood Decree 04:04	lyrics	buy track
Awakened by the sound, this moment seems to last an eternity. time slows down, and my love won't respond to my frantic cries. Draw your weapon, eyes of steel and a heart of coal, a big mistake. Horrid truths, tasteful lies, turning heads they'll realize, you're a fake. Pseudo hero, tuck your tail, turn tide, and run away. I lose my breath as innocence runs down her chest, she looks at me with eyes so full of fear. Time slows and I pray to God that you don't die, for you're my inspiration to go on. Draw your weapon, eyes of steel and a heart of coal, a big mistake. Pseudo hero, tuck your tail, turn tide, and run away. I lose my breath as innocence runs down her chest, she looks at me with eyes so full of fear. Time slows and I pray to God that you don't die, for you're my inspiration to go on. Now you'll face my wrath, my vengeance a will too strong. A love, a vindication, one moment just to shed your blood. Shed, Your, Blood. I lose my breath as innocence runs down her chest, she looks at me with eyes so full of fear. Time slows and I pray to God that you don't die, for you're my inspiration to go on. I lose my breath as innocence runs down her chest, she looks at me with eyes so full of fear. I close my eyes and thank the Lord that you survived, the beating of our hearts is now in time. The world can rest now that you're not gone.

I've lost my drive, self deprivation. Beauty I've seen only in dream, and I can no longer close my eyes. I bite my tongue as I spied an image tried and true. A ray of hope has cleared my clouded eyes. You called my name, reached in and ripped out my despair. Shedding light on shadows, cold and dank. You called my name and I... This ray of hope, Has cleared my eyes. You called my name, I heard you say... "We fall. We all fall. Just take my hand, and stand up again" I bite my tongue as I spied an image tried and true. A ray of hope has cleared my clouded eyes. This ray of hope, has cleared my eyes. You called my name, and I heard you say... "We fall. We all fall. Just take my hand, and stand up again"
3.	Lucid 04:01	lyrics	buy track
Is this fate or illusion? A call of the mark? A rung of the spine? A blind man's vision, unseen yet knowing. forbidden sight. Abscess forming, infection decays what we strive to fulfill, hopes and dreams. Claw the growth out, to begin anew we refresh the seal. Slash and burn. Now divided. One to his own but soon all shall find the call still yearns. Two hands in bind, forming a whole they become the solution. Souls they intertwine, forming a new hope which may lead to suffering... Hopes fail. Dreams fail. Life fails. We've failed. Two hands in bind, forming a whole they become the solution. Souls they intertwine, forming a new hope which may lead to suffering... Now divided. One to his own but soon all shall find the call still yearns.
4.	We Will Overcome 03:20	lyrics	buy track
Striving for what we've worked for. counting the days, for when we taste what could be. we'll find a way. x3 You want to hold us down, but you can't sustain grip while you're caught in the machine. we will not die yet still you try. our future's are unseen. You won't burden me. Striving for what we've worked for. counting the days, for when we taste what could be. we'll find a way. x3 To live our dream is not unattainable, days, to weeks, to years have not passed in vain. to live our dream is not unattainable, days, to weeks, to years... This is eternal. Redemption. Try with all your, try with all your might but still, you're never gonna get it. we shall overcome. Try with all your, try with all your might but still, you're never gonna get it. we shall overcome. Try with all your, try with all your might but still, you're never gonna get it. we shall overcome.
5.	Withered 04:06	lyrics	buy track
I'm still here. Depression tips the scales, smash a fist through a broken home. bleeding from the mind, the petals fall from the withered rose. This dark condition, beckons blackened days. A martyr for a worthless cause. to live, to die, eradicate. Razor blades slice through the flesh of all sincerity. emotions shaded grey. behind these walls, things will change. behind these walls, a life will fade away. Depression tips the scales, smash a fist through a broken home. bleeding from the mind, the petals fall from the withered rose. This dark condition, beckons blackened days. A martyr for a worthless cause. to live, to die, eradicate. Razor blades slice through the flesh of all sincerity. emotions shaded grey. behind these walls, things will change. behind these walls, a life will fade away. We must now adapt, to this drastic change. we must now adapt. the scar still remains. Why destroy your family? teach us serenity. Why destroy your family? teach us serenity.
6.	S. O. S. 05:03	lyrics	buy track
Go So you left me, Left me here. Broken/tortured. Blind to all the pain. I just walked away that morning. Hidden from the truth. I no longer feel the warming, The deeper nail had torn me through. Save our Sanity. Two times the grace, two times the fear. Crushed below one minute's hand. Nothing can be done for now, Although I still believe that there still is time, But I can see that you don't care, they still don't belong, In a world that never thought that they could be wrong. Nothing. Forcing malice, On those who are, Weaker than me. These devils eyes, Are focused on you, They bring the ache. Can you believe that one can turn, To face their fears and learn the truth. One can make the difference in this. Nothing can be done for now. Although I still believe that there still is time. But I can see that you don't care, they still don't belong, In a world that never thought that they could be wrong. No. A toss up between good and evil, A dramatic and life altering decision. On that fateful day I was to either brand myself a bigot or a saint. I would burn that day into the molded scroll of history and relive it Everyday for the rest of my feeble existence. This point, although Moot to me, still acts as a guideline for all those who will come After me... for generations. Break through, Examine the structure. Still can't see, Water through mud. Tragedy, Spill my own blood here. Fallen, Angels will suffer. [x2] Tragedy.
