In pulling my life back together I feel the pressure of a thousand minds Turn this way this path is closed; keep your eyes to the right Elevate your judgment and the power is yours The power is yours Grasp it with both hands Do not be distracted by the streetlights, bright lights, wide eyes Bridge: And so I go along this road This is the path I take Chorus: Where are the fears I kept alive? (dead and buried gone) A life that shunned the light Dream no longer fantasy So I go along this road, this is the path I take Round and round The rocks hurt my feet and grey is the sky This night of my longing Infused with light Pierce my soul, yes, pierce my soul with light Pierce my soul, yes, pierce my eyes Let this newfound understanding fill the world with light Pierce my soul, yes, pierce my eyes Entitled fruits are sown as the outcome of this fight Open your eyes and fight Bridge It feels like a dream but I’m waking up Lost in a reverie but I’m waking up Lost Celebrate these words and celebrate the day Despondent revelations always secure our minds Beware the power and the animal that kills We are racing towards an apocalypse of our own design Only if the sun would refuse to rise Lock your windows and doors this Armageddon pours its wrath over all the earth Firstborn sons are the victims of its demise Firstborn We are racing towards an apocalypse of our own design Only if the sun would refuse to rise Chorus

Stay your hand demon watch the curtain fall The final dance has already begun Hold the field and the war will be won Strike the death with a force not unlike God and fulfill our prophesies Present conflict in our world breeds resentment Our people weary with the silent struggle Brothers, sisters hold your tongues and witness revolution For the snake is out among us Hold the field and the war will be won Justify it and thy will is done The light and the dark raise our arms Against a blood red sky Chorus: I feel weightless in the air These shackles cannot hold me A light above the shadow illuminates these doors They guard the key to glory All that I am and all I hope to be Ready your spears towards the dying rays of the sun In the night it seems the light has lost its favor Do not despair; we are the right hand of God Hold the field and the war will be won Justify it and thy will is done The light and the dark raise our arms Against a blood red sky Chorus Chorus Ready your spears Hold high your sword of righteousness Reveal your glory
3.	First Day of Eternity 08:55	lyrics	buy track
Fear is the source of my suffering My sinful past cannot be changed Fighting this internal war alone And from this fight there’s no going home Constant regret in the shadows with me every step I take Chorus: Follow the path of the fallen and my life will slip away I must do what is right it would heal all my suffering Transgressing the path I forgotten, I’m finding a better day When I shine this new light all the darkness illuminates Painful reflections keep me awake The form of love can erase the hate Wanton forces fuel my sorrow Hollow’s a life that is lived in torment many men have succumbed to this hell that I’m in Poisoned till there’s no tomorrow What can be done to reignite the sun and bring light to this wasteland of grey Chorus I’ve waited for this for so long I’ve got to find a way to keep it forever Disgust and ideology often intertwine in my mind These waking eyes see only light No shadows left inside Salvation has come to me and I now control the key to my own soul Now that war is won I must be moving on Leaving the past behind, pushing the fear aside Now that the time is here, I can see crystal clear Nothing is in the way, finally I’m awake Look inside if you find serenity; only then can you find the first day of eternity
4.	Broken Life 05:45	lyrics	buy track
It’s just a sip one simple sip I need it put it to my lips A cold reminder of the man that I could have been All these faces waiting for an answer My God I’ve fallen again, how will I ever gain their trust? Chorus: I’ve fought this with my own hands And set it all ablaze Proclaim it from the watchtower; broken life With a heavy heart full disdain I need the flesh, show me your shame Chalk it up to human interaction My God it lives inside, this lust cannot be satiated Chorus Lord, you are the God who saves me I cry out to you day and night Now darkness is my closest friend Lord, why do you reject me? Why do you hide from me? Taken away my loved ones and friends Now darkness is my closest friend Chorus
5.	Blanket of Earth 10:19	lyrics	buy track
All this is raining down on me And I can’t ignore this regret I’ve got to separate the truth from the lies There isn’t much left to say just a reminder Of all the things that I take for granted Yet still I complain Take my apology with a grain of salt My betrayal seems never ending but I know that with time comes strength and deliverance My mouth is running over Stop the flow of degrading words that fall from my lips And catch the remainder in a basket; burn them with my many offences Stop the flow I feel dead but I’m very much alive Can anyone answer the lost paradigm of oxymoronic ideology? Breeding faith beneath a sky that seems indifferent The sun is shining but the birds are nowhere to be seen Pain envelops my soul; my God I must change Trenched and covered by my blanket of earth A small encasement has kept me from being crushed I desire not to be what I am Trenched and covered by my blanket of earth Crawling out of the darkness I am blinded by the light Humility is no longer my enemy I’ve bitten the bullet and called an end to this madness My mouth was running over I’ve stopped the flow of degrading words that fell from my lips And caught the remainder in a basket I’ve burned them with my many offences I’ve stopped the flow I’ll savor the loss of the liar that I used to be I’ll sever the ties If this planet is doomed then let it be known that my understanding will outshine the sun Ring in the day
