As we live in these dark days filled with violence, opposition and hate.
There lies a place of saving grace
Protected in the hearts of the humble
The faithful, the ones who choose the path of resistance to protest
Protect, save, proclaim our lives lived not in vain.
In flesh, in spirit eternal
One love, One truth, One destiny

One love! (one love) one truth! (one truth) one destiny

Arise and be triumphant
No rest until all is fulfilled
Our roots must balance our branches
Be vigilant in truth and love
(in truth and love)

Chorus
There is a strength in numbers we must unite mankind
There is a strength in numbers, our faith lies deep inside
(We!) We struggle, (We) we suffer, (So) so we must come together
(We!) We struggle, (We) we suffer, (but) but we will live forever

Babylon's method of deception
So devious the strong are swayed
(so devious, the strong are swayed)

Chorus
There is a strength in numbers we must unite mankind
There is a strength in numbers, our faith lies deep inside
(We!) We struggle, (We!) we suffer, (So!) so we must come together
(We!) We struggle, (We!) we suffer, (but!) but we will live forever

(One love, one truth)
(One love, one truth)

guitar solo

One love! (one love) one truth! (one truth) one destiny

(Yeaaaaah)
Chorus
There is a strength in numbers we must unite mankind
There is a strength in numbers, our faith lies deep inside
(We!) We struggle, (We!) we suffer, (So!) so we must come together
(We!) We struggle, (We!) we suffer, (but!) but we will live forever

May the sun shine upon you and bless your inner light
and may you find true peace

. . .


underneath the darkened sky,
drifting through a sea of lies
pulled into the under tow
my body dragged deep below
...
give me strength to push on through
GIVE ME STRENGTH!
seeking shelter from the storm


"carry me when i cant go on,
uplift my spirit
so i carry on
, was once lost
but now im found,
darkness pass away into the light of dawn ,
push on through
FIGHT FOR LIFE!"
FIGHT FOR LIFE!"

MY WORD
IS NOT WITH FEAR
BUT WITH THE SPIRIT
IN UNREST
i fear no man
i fear not death
i fear no man
i will prevail

give me strenght to carry on
push on through the light of dawn


"carry me when i cant go on,
uplift my spirit
so i carry on
, was once lost
but now im found,
darkness pass away into the light of dawn ,
push on through

FIGHT FOR LIFE!"
FIGHT FOR LIFE!"
push on through
FIGHT FOR LIFE!"
push on through
FIGHT FOR LIFE!"
push on through

. . .


I wake with the wings of morning
To the light of a new day
Now my eyes are open

Through the darkest times
I find you
I find you always

Cover me
With your hands
Make me see
All I am

Though I fall
I'm willing

I could break
Fall back into sorrow
Give me life
Make my faith much stronger

Now my eyes are open
Now I feel I'm lost
I find a way
I find a way
I find a way to you

Cover me
With your hands
Make me see
All I am

Though I fall
I'm willing

This is the now
No longer will I wait my time
Can't lose faith
There'll be days of grace
I'd give it all
I'd give it all
To see redemption reign

Cover me
With your hands
Make me see
All I am

Though I stumble
Though I stumble

Though I fall I'll live for you

. . .


Cast me into the sea (into the the heart of of darkness)
Falling from on high, (drowning in sorrow)
hopeless and lost (hopeless and lost), Consumed by fears
My soul was weak within me
Can't learn from this destiny
Just give me your mercy
I go where the spirit leads me
Let go of my desire, Your word is my guide
Save me from this fate
hopeless and lost (hopeless and lost), Consumed by fears
Will you save me
My soul was weak within me
Can't run from this destiny
Just give me your mercy,
I go where the spirit leads me
Let my mouth be the blade (be the blade)
Let my song be filled with me (filled with me)
Be the blade? Fill with me?
My soul was weak within me
I can't run from this destiny,
Just give me your mercy
I go where the spirit leads me
Where the spirit, where the spirit rides.

. . .


Like withered tree in winter's hold,
Pieces falling all around.
Sight lost in a once brilliant sky,
Now reduced to shades of pale grey.

What have I become?
What have I become?

[Chorus:]
My voice resounds, arms outstretched,
Embrace the end of days.
Reach to the skies, arms outstretched,
Embrace the end of days.

Fall apart, drifting down to the sound of mournful harmonies.
Now my (now my) voice resounds (voice resounds),
What have I become?

I was looking for answers, trapped in a lonely state of mind,
I was drifting and searching; now my purpose is found.

[Chorus II:]
My voice resounds, guide my path,
Until the end of days.
Reach to the skies, deliverance,
Until the end of days.

I am steadfast, given sight,
I shall stand until the end of days.

Tear me apart, rip into my soul,
I shall stand until the end of days.

Arms outstretched to embrace,
The end of days.

. . .


Just live in love, believe in love

In my life I have seen all the ways they tried (to destroy mankind)
Break societies system, change the mercy, there's no compromise
Don't mistake kindness and compassion for weakness
It takes so much more strength to be selfless and live in love

I trust you live in selflessness and live in love

Through all the days, just live in love
Through all the pain, believe in love

(I change to think you not, it tries to function if this world..)
Take the time to think about your life, live righteous

I trust you live in selflessness and live in love

Through all the days, just live in love
Through all the pain, believe in love

The words we speak, the ones we don't say
Power you don't know you could say
Through all the days, believe in love

Don't you see, we are off
Don't you see, we are off
Brothers and sisters, we are one
Brothers and sisters, we are one
WE ARE ONE

And I pray this is not in vain, all that you know about, all you can hide
All that you feel inside (Live in love)
All that you know about, all you can hide
All that you feel inside (Live in love)
All that you know about, all you can hide (Through all the days)
All that you feel inside (Live in love)
All that you know about, all you can hide (Through all the pain)
All that you feel inside (Live in love)

(Instrumental)

. . .


Fallen (fallen).
Fell to the depths of your regrets (regret).
And now there's nothing left but apathy.

Blinded by pride, torn on the inside.
Count the cost of your arrogance.
Words pass through, through deafened ears.
Now your broken wings mirror your self-regret.

Why do we live so blind?
Like a fallen angel's eyes.
Torn inside.
This is the hymn of a broken man.

Fallen (fallen).
Cast down from blessedness.
Now there's nothing left,
nothing but apathy.

Why do we live so blind?
Like a fallen angel's eyes.
Torn inside.
This is the hymn of a broken man.

God save you.
God save your soul.
Torn inside.
This is the hymn of a broken man.

If you could only see the truth,
for pride has blinded you.
Feel with your heart.
Disregard has killed you.
Once again.

Why do we live so blind?
Like a fallen angel's eyes.
Cast aside.
This is the hymn of a broken man.

Why do we live so blind?
This is the hymn of a broken man.
Why do we live so blind?
This is the hymn of a broken man.

God save...
God save your soul.
God save...
God save us all.

. . .


Words only lead me to the cracks in my disguise.
My flesh a prison for the man behind these eyes.
I sing the epitaph for an unnamed king.
Carved in this tombstone all the lost pieces of me.
How far is the distance between you and i?
How long before this silence dies?

Lost in a sea of sadness.
Blind in this place of darkness.
If I fall would you be there to raise me up?
Or will i be the forgotten one?

Lead me to the crossroad, I can find my way home.
Devils on my back and angels in between.
The scars and dreams that made me believe.
Wheres the crime scene in rememberance to me.
When our eyes meet do you know the man beneath.
Walk the line between desperate and redeemed.

Lost in a sea of sadness
Blind in this place of darkness
If I fall would you be there to raise me up?
Or will i be the forgotten one?

And my hands are songs for the broken
(Through every word that was spoken)
(Do I carry half the whole plate)

Lost in a sea of sadness
Blind in this place of darkness
If I fall would you be there to raise me up?
Or will i be the forgotten one?


. . .


Crushed by the weight of your sorrow,
There is no relapse,
To find the light in the darkness,
and we can't hold on.

But it's hidden from your face,
Sinking your form,
the path you should follow,
Breathe its place,
Surrender yourself to the hopes of tomorrow,
Surrender!

And it's always been your spirit,
This. World. Is. Yours!

Hold on to faith, hold on to love,
hold on to who you were.
You're not alone, don't lose sight
we will rise above.
Love!
We are the breathe of life.
Love!
Our hope remains.

If we start to break, I think we might. We musn't break. For generations to come, as we break our durations aside!

Look in my eyes! When with passion!
Every spirit undevote our durations aside!

[Guitar solo]

We are the progress,
undefeated!
Carve your name in the face of today,
It burns!

Hold on to faith, hold on to love
Hold on to who you were.
You're not alone, don't lose sight
We will rise above.
Love!
We are the breathe of life.
Love!
Our hope remains.
Love!
We are the breathe of life.
Love!
Our hope remains.

Hold on to faith, hold on to love.
You're not alone, don't lose hope.
Our hope remains.

. . .


We are lost, consumed by selfish desire.
Abandon the gift bestowed us.
The gift of love.

[Chorus I:]
But there is beauty,
There is life.
Hold fast for this could be,
The end of eternity.

We are blind (we are blind), our future's crushed and forgotten.
Destroyed by greed (destroyed by greed).

[Chorus II:]
But there is beauty (there is beauty),
There is love (there is love).
Hold fast for this could be,
The end of eternity.

I will swallow your soul. Break you into submission.
I will be waiting in the shadows. Until your last breath.

Don't forsake all of us.
Don't turn away from us.
Your will is stronger than... than this.

Something strong grabs hold of your breathless soul.
Under shadows I drift into your weakened breath.
Like grains of sand, hope slowly slips from your weary grasp.
And in my sweet seduction I will break your will... your will.

[Chorus II]
But there is beauty (there is beauty),
There is love (there is love).
Hold fast, for this could be,
The end of eternity.

I will swallow your soul. Break you into submission.
I will be waiting. I will be waiting. I will be waiting...

. . .


All of Life
All of time

A life lived with closed eyes
The faceless images leave my mind
And I've lost my way
Worlds Apart
Led astray, severed by this darkened heart.

Seeking answers
open these eyes,
Searching for the truth
open my eyes.

All of life
All of time
It's just a moment
So just behold it

All of life
All of time
It's ours to take,
A soul reborn

My soul reborn.

And I'm bound by the weight of my regret
Untangle my soul, so I may live again.

Seeking answers
Open these eyes
Searching for the truth
Will you open my eyes

All of life
All of time
It's just a moment,
So just behold it
All of life
Allof time
It's ours to take,
A soul reborn

Some are blinded,
some refuse to hear
Embrace this beauty
Before it disappears

All of life
All of time
It's just a moment,
So just behold it,
All of life
All of time
It's ours to take,
A soul reborn
Be reborn

And all of life
And all of time,
It's just a moment.

. . .


At the end of your rope
Hanging by a thread
He'd give anything for this to just go away
This grip is only so strong

I try to hold on tightly
But it's all slipping through my fingers
And I feel a moment, aspirations betray
Eyes that once beamed with hope now only stare in remorse

Even through this pain
I will feel again
Even through these tears
I will love again
Even through this pain
I will feel again
Even through these tears
I will love again

There will be no pity
There will be no sorrow
For today these hands may tremble
But this heart will never give in

Even through this pain
I will feel again
Even through these tears
I will love again
Even through this pain
I will feel again
Even through these tears
I will love again

And I will not fall
Fall from grace
And I will not fall

I
I will not fall from grace
I will not fall from grace

You're at the end of your rope
You're at the end of your rope
You're at the end of your rope
I will feel again
You're at the end of your rope
I will love again
