Holding back from near consumption.
Starving to taste ourselves
and the sensation of an existence.
feast for only the ones who are kings.

The outcome of a revolution built to consume itself.
The outcome of a revolution built to consume its own.
This will contain what has already been said before.
The message enclosed will be the one we dread the most.

Coming generations will learn that our kings were nothing
but cannibals of their own race not strong enough to be men.
And when the young will rise they will tell them.

This will contain what has already been said before.
The message enclosed will be the one we dread the most.

And when the young will rise they will tell them all to go.
Go back to your hell.
Holding back from near consumption.
Starving to taste ourselves
and the sensation of an existence.
A feast for you the one they call a king.

. . .


(Your only making excuses to hide what the truth is.
I have made it here.
This is where I want to be.
But this is only half way there.
Somethings have taken over who I am.
Take it all back from where you came.)

Somethings have taken over who I am.
I went cold finding my way back.
Places only seen by ones will want to be.
Lost consumes masses of a dying breed.
Hammered through life a nail to seal this demise.
This light will show forever and a day!

This is where I want to be!
Where there's comfort in everything.
This is where I want to be!
I have made it here from nothing.

No recognition of who you are.
Don't you see this is where I want to be!
You're only making excuses to hide what the truth is!
You're only making a fool of yourself!
Our thought out excuses.
You're only making a fool of yourself!
Our thought out excuses.

This is where I want to be!
Where there's comfort in everything.
This is where I hope to be.
I have made it here from nothing.
This is where I want to be!
Where there's comfort in everything.
This is where I hope to be.
I have made it here from nothing.
This is where I want to be!
Where there's comfort in everything.
This is where I hope to be.
I have made it here from nothing.

(Your only making excuses to hide what the truth is.
I have made it here.
This is where I want to be.
But this is only half way there.
Somethings have taken over who I am.
Take it all back from where you came.)

Is everything what you think it is?
How have we ever made it this far?
Oh why isn't this how its supposed to be?
Don't you feel like you'll never wake up?!

Where am I? Where is everyone in my life?
Isn't this supposed to be questioned?
Then why haven't you found the answers yet?!
Where are the answers?

Is it not supposed to be like this?
Who had the nerve to tell you that?
Do you think that they have seen you lately?
When will they find you?
Will you ever forget them?
Do you ever think it feel like this?
Should we wait for the rest of them?
Where am I?
Where is everyone in my life?
Isn't this supposed to be questioned?
Then why haven't you found the answers yet?!
Where are the answers?
Where are the answers?
Where are the answers?
Can you find the answers?
Can you find me?

Did this help you?
Do you really know yourself?
May you listen again?
Is this really happening?
I think the answers, the answers in you!

Take my misery I give all of it.
Take one chance Ill be there.
Offering all of myself I give everything for my last opportunity.
Emery stones demonstrate and achieve what I wanted.
Relentless chaos is all that has been.
Thoughts of being greater have fallen fast.
This highland contains whatever may come.
How senseless can you be? How confused can you be?
Relentless chaos is all that has been.
Look at us now higher than before.
Desire to emulate and create all.
Remember bringing this down?
How could you bring this down?
Please tell me why you tried so hard knowing this would happen one day.
Take my misery I give all of it.
Take one chance Ill be there.
Offering all of myself I give everything for my last opportunity.
Concentrated on destroying this vision.
Try to live this down when I find you begging at my feet.
All your words have fallen to the ground where they belong.

. . .


How could you say you know who i am? Do you even wonder why I'm here?
The thoughts play back in your head like a film that has been stuck on repeat.
Imagine that this picture of me has been painted for you. A portrait is made to hold a moment and moments wish they could live. Lets make this last become real life art.
Time wont catch us if we refuse to dry. Changing as we settle into our canvas of eternity.
Hung on a wall that was built for you and I.
Here we are once again and we are the same. You will see all of this and we will remain the same.
We are all artwork cant you see. No one will see you like i do.
Why cant you believe? No one will see you like i do.
We are all art if seen in my eyes. Seen through the sky that magnifies beauty.
Open your eyes see what i see. You will never go back to being blind and dull.
See what I see.

. . .


Once again being here recovering over and over.
Torn from inside from every direction.
Uncontrolled creations of the entire world.
Making us just a device for you.
Making us someone to be abused.
Making us desperate.
Making us desperate and confused.
Our gears are wearing down to nothing because of you.
Oh the feeling of being machines.
Created for you.
Our gears are wearing down to nothing because of you.

. . .


Our reflections will always show.
We will grow.
We will be the world!

Gigantic proportions.
Magnitude beyond our expectation.
Just look at ourselves.

Developing at a pace never thought with surrendering past for present.
Time seems so important when you have the entire world waiting for you.
Call it achievements, Call it what you want.
Behold ambition pulsing through our veins.
Our eyes will never shut.
The heart abandons sleep.
Ceasing to stop only builds us into...

Every step that we've taken made you with you in mind.
A set of goals for ourselves we leave undefined.
The only destination that we know
is to bring promise and meaning before hope is gone.

This force creates giants of nothing!
This force creates giants of nothing!
This force creates.
This force we all have everything that will never need.

In everyone this significance breathes.
To be exhaled for the world to feel.
A calling made by one and only one.
We are only here because of you.
(Giants!) Giants risen for you.

Refused to be crippled by others around and become a colossus of your own.
Of this importance.
Inside we all are this size.
Our reflections will always show.
We will grow.
We will be the world!

Every step that we've taken made with you in mind.
A set of goals for ourselves we leave undefined.
The only destination that we know
bringing promise and meaning before hope is gone.
We are, We are the world!

. . .


We're running back and forth again over the center of this land.
When will this ever come to a stop?!
How is this home our home?
We have abolished where we are.
We have forgotten where we're from.
Like a path that never ends we are lost, we are lost.

I have finally found my way no matter when it will end.
This is all I've ever had.
Lets make them see, make them see!

We have already fallen.(Already fallen)
Making who we are. (Who we are)
Finding our way. (We have to find our way)
Has made us blind. (Made us blind)

I have finally found my way no matter when it will end.
This is all I've ever had.
Lets make them see, make them see.

All will become blind when they see what we have found in humanity.
Eye for an eye will mean nothing.
But when they see what we have found in humanity there will be sin(?) there will be sin(?)...What we have found in humanity.
Eye for an eye will mean nothing, Nothing!
Now that we have seen it all the whole world would be blind.
This entire world will become invisible.
Our entire world will become invisible.
This entire world will become invisible.

I have finally found my way no matter when it will end.
This is all I've ever had.
Lets make them see, make them see!

We have already fallen.(Already fallen)
Making who we are. (Who we are)
Finding our way. (We have to find our way)
Has made us blind. (Made us blind)
We have already fallen.(Already fallen)
Making who we are. (Who we are)
Finding our way. (We have to find our way)
Has made us blind. (Made us blind)

(-Fade out-)

. . .


The sand surrounding my feet, drifting in the wind
Looking on the ocean as the waves roll by
The same now as before, over and over again
Meaning washed away with the hands of time

Always the same...
Always the same...

I miss the sight of the faces I know
Their voices are the sounds that I cannot let go
So far away that silence is all that I feel
I hear them now, the sound is so perfectly clear

My thoughts everywhere but here
Distant from where I am
The path I follow now, I've already seen
The same now as before, over and over again
Meaning washed away with the hands of time

These will not become memories
They will not be all familiar to me
These will not become memories
Because they are everything to me
Always the same...

I miss the sight of the faces I know
Their voices are the sounds that I cannot let go
So far away that silence is all that I feel
I hear them now, the sound is so perfectly clear

. . .


Carving into fresh stone as powder fills the air.
A brick taken from the earth to show mankind meaning.
What has been missing for so many years.
Wait till all eyes are open.

This pedestal will change the world and will lead you to a new beginning.
This pedestal will chance the world and will lead you in a new direction.
Pacifists try to settle without a war.
This is our war.

This is our answer.
This is our reply.
Our monument.
Our dreams will not die.
This is our answer.
This is our reply.
Our monument.
Our dreams will not die.

With every piece withered away knowledge will show beneath.
Blueish clouds arise through cracks billowing into the sky.
Once seen by all kind it will bring absolute transition.
Gazed upon as this sits high above everyone.

This is our answer.
This is our reply.
Our monument, Our dreams will not die.
This is our answer.
This is our reply.
Our monument, Our dreams will not die.
Untouchable, Untouchable to all.
Untouchable to all.
Behold our monument.
Untouchable to all.
Behold our monument!
