WAR ETERNAL
Friend or foe?
There's no way to know
Through the battlefield of life
It's kill or be killed
So many times
It's a matter of degree
From being up on your luck
To down on your knees
It's a hellish inferno
This is war eternal
They try to change you
Crush and break you
Try to tell you what to do
They'd like to have control of you
Back against the wall
In danger of losing it all
Search deep inside
Remember who you are
It's times like these
When lines are drawn
Which side of the fence
Are you standing on?
There will come a day
Not so far away
When the hunter
Becomes the prey
It's a hellish inferno
This is war eternal
They try to change you
Crush and break you
Try to tell you what to do
They'd like to have control of you
Back against the wall
In danger of losing it all
Search deep inside
Remember who you are
This is fucking war!
They try to change you
Crush and break you
Try to tell you what to do
They'd like to have control of you
Back against the wall
In danger of losing it all
Search deep inside
Remember who you are
YOU WILL NO MY NAME
Their judging eyes watching me
Is all I've ever known
When I try to open up my heart
I am ridiculed and torn apart
Your damn jokes I'll never get to hear
Behind my back at my expense
There's something inside me
And I know it's good
I'm not evil, just misunderstood
Do you see me now?
Do you hear me now?
You will know my name
Do you see me now?
Do you hear me now?
You will know my name
Today I break my silence
Strip you of your dignity
Tear down your perfect world
Your perfect lies
No more jokes I'll never get to hear
Behind my back at my expense
There's something inside me
And I know it's good
I'm not evil, just misunderstood
Do you see me now?
Do you hear me now?
You will know my name
Do you see me now?
Do you hear me now?
You will know my name
No longer invisible
You will know my name
Do you see me now?
Do you hear me now?
You will know my name
Do you see me now?
Do you hear me now?
You will know my name
No longer invisible
You will know my name!
NO MORE REGRETS
You choose your path.
Don't shift the blame.
You ran your course.
You lost sight of your aim.
Wrong choices linger,
Like scars remain
Long after the bleeding stops.
There's nowhere left to hide from the shame.
Never again.
No! No more regrets.
What's done is done - can't be erased.
Know your regrets...savour the bitter aftertaste.
The crippling guilt, how heavy it can be
When searching for the right words
Hoping the truth will bring you peace.
A lesson learned is good company
For the lonely road you walk
Each step forward - agony.
It's hard to breathe!
Thought process crushing me.
Purge mistakes! Strip the mind of its dignity
Liar
Liar
All I know is but regret.
I can't shake this bitter aftertaste.
NO GODS,NO MASTERS
Here I am, back to the wall,
I picked the fight against the time,
Free at last I go my own way,
I will resist them, till the day I die,
I am who I am; my time has come.
I am who I am, take it or leave it,
A rebel at heart,
No gods, no masters,
My time has come.
There is no second place,
No perfect world,
Your head is whole,
Freedom in your heart,
Be strong; take this chance,
Make your way; a better future comes.
I am who I am; my time has come.
I am who I am, take it or leave it,
A rebel at heart,
No gods, no masters,
My time has come.
No gods, no masters.
What doesn’t kill us make us stronger.
Locked and loaded ready to strike,
You stand loud and proud, united as one.
I am who I am, take it or leave it,
A rebel at heart,
No gods, no masters,
My time has come.
YESTERDAY IS DEAD AND GONE
The fire's inside us tonight
These bridges will burn so bright
Tomorrow bears our name
No more power games
[Harmony Lead - Michael & Christopher]
Reaching for the light beyond
We will rise through the dark again
Ready to fight for what we believe to be right
Yesterday is dead and gone
[Pre-Chorus:]
Rattling the chains - shaking the cage
Heed our war cry
Let there be no doubt - we want out
This is reckoning day
[Chorus (melody - Michael):]
We are standing in the flames
Reaching for the sky
Fight to the end
Yesterday is dead and gone
Under a blood red sky
Our voice will be heard in a world
Where compassion is lost
You try to control us
This is so absurd
Freedom will be won at any cost
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Lead - Christopher]
Yesterday is dead and gone
[Lead - Michael]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Outro lead - Christopher]
This is reckoning time
Yesterday is dead and gone
THE DAY YOU DIED
A precious child with innocent mind
Born to suffer, in this life or for another
So hopeless and relentless falls this remorseless day
The dark remains of a violent world
They day you died my tears ran dry
I feel you, I hear you echo in my soul
I failed you, I miss you so
The day you died echoes in my soul
[Melody – Michael]
[Lead – Christopher]
This world’s on fire – turned its back on us
A lost horizon left behind
So hopeless and relentless falls this remorseless day
The dark reality of a hostile world
[Lead – Christopher]
[Lead – Michael]
[Melody – Michael]
