Remember
03:53

Remember
We forget so easily
If the time is right
Why should we remember?
Just guard your borders
Like a prison cell
You can turn away from it
But you can not surrender
I can see decisions now
being overthrown
I can feel it coming
---
Whose side are you on
When the skies will break
And you feel the fires burning?
Can you find the drive
That separates
Your empathy from freedom?
---
Nevermind the government
that will look away
and reigns in silence
Nothing good will come of this
We have to find a way
We will all be prisoners
that submit to reason
This is not a practice life
You can afford to lose
And you will lose
----
Whose side are you on
When the skies will break
And you feel the fires burning?
Can you find the drive
That separates
Your empathy from freedom?
We will rise again and we'll never leave
They'll never see it coming

Need More time
03:38
|

Need more time
Looking back
Should have known
No regrets
All this time
I could make
I could break
And now the meaning has changed
I would save your time
I would make my home
I would leave all this
I would change it
I will take
all your love
I will hate it
I will have
no control
and be free
I will leave
all behind me
And look up
Follow the rays of the sun
I would save your time
I would make my home
I would leave all this
I would change it
--
All this time
Lost my way
Found my pain
Way too late
Leave behind
Sacrifice
Need more time
Need more time

Confess
02:34
|
|||
Confess
I'll decide what to call this
All your words left to dismiss
I will forget
All that is said
I will submit
when I see fit
Be afraid of all that you know
Keep it close or all will be gone
All in all everything
Will be tried, will be missed
I will forget
All that is said
I will submit
when I see fit
But when you digress
I will confess

Now The Future
04:49
|
|||
Now the future
Don't listen, don't forget
Where you came from
Ask yourself one question
Do I want this?
'Cause it's too late now to make up for this
We have to stand for everything we know
I can feel it moving closer
Ever present, now the future
Polluted system, change of power
Fear the key to overtake it
'Cause it's too late now to make up for this
We have to stand for everything we know
Leave nothing to chance
Leave nothing to chance
'Cause it's too late now to make up for this
We have to stand for everything we know
----
And I knew it wouldn't last forever
but this time we have to stand together
All this is is just another failure
And we can't deny the need for pressure
And I know we can't escape the fire
But we can't ignore the heat forever
And I know we can't escape the fire
But we can't ignore the heat forever

Undertow
05:05
|

Undertow
We saw this
We felt it
I knew we couldn't change it
The silence that followed
Was real and overwhelming
---
Can you feel the undertow?
currents taking us along
they should not be this strong
---
Our sacrifice
did not suffice
We can't escape the future
What part of this
Are promises
Your eyes are full of changes
---
Can you feel the undertow?
currents taking us along
They should not be this strong
----
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
----
The point of no return
From now on
Forget what you may know
We will do
The things that we have feared
For so long
We seemed invincible
And now this
There is no coming back
We will break
Promises and minds
And we'll know
How priviliged we were
This is not
How it was meant to be
Coming home
We'll find another place
And we'll see

Once More
03:00
|
|||
Once more
Understand, your time will come again
I've seen it before
Your cold embrace, wanting more
To know the feeling once more
Understand
Understand, your time will come again
I'll see it again
The time we lost, never spent
To call my freedom my friend
Come here
Come over
Come home
Come back
We've been here before
Our warm embrace, wanting more
To know our freedom once more

Scavengers
04:01
|

Scavengers
We never learn this way
we won't ever get what we want
Although we chose for this
And we'll never change
But if I could choose the now or never
I would never trust again
I would never fail
Who is it?
Who is it?
Keep asking, keep asking
Who is it?
Although we're out of time
And we're out of luck
We have learned
To stay away from the ones
That drove us apart
To have to face forever
We have to sacrifice our love
but we would never hate
Who is it?
Who is it?
Keep asking, keep asking
Who is it?
Scavengers along the way
Scavengers along the way
Scavengers along the way
Scavengers along the way
Don't get me wrong
I couldn't make it all alone
But I can't help myself
And I can't heal myself
But if we can hold ourselves together
We would never join the fight
We would never fail
Who is it?
Who is it?
Keep asking, keep asking
Who is it?

Hope For The Cause
04:31
|
|||
Hope for the cause
You seem desperate
To find a problem
And be the solution
That holds the cross
In confirmation
Of your savior
And make a difference
All for the cause
We are the solution
Consider the cost
I finally see it
The world before me
As it should be
As it will be
Confine to reason
Be the servant
Sign the future
Sign the cause
We are the solution
Consider the cost
Wait for the silence
Wait for the lost
hope is eternal
Hope never lasts
Hope for the innocent
Hope for the brave
Pray for your future
Pray to be saved
To be saved
Hope for the sinners
Hope for the lost
Hope for solutions
Hope for the cause
We are the solution
Consider the cost
We draw from the fire
And hope for the cause

Step Forward
03:29
|
|||
Step Forward
If you're told
To wait
Be silent
If they call
Your name
Step forward
--
Don't ask
Too much
They'll notice
Don't make
Your own
Decisions
---
Save yourself
Find a way
--
Just Save yourself
And Find a way

Another Way
02:55
|
|||
Another way
Fade to black when all is grey
Light is gone but I will stay
I will find another way
live again another day
another day
I'll do anything
I'll do anything
I'll try anything
I'll have everything
Don't hold me back with your constrains
Put me down with your complaints
As of now your empty words
Meaningless but not unheard
Look inside the tired mind
Look inside and you will find
You will find
....
I'll do anything
I'll do anything
I'll try anything
I'll have everything
---
I know everything
I saved everything
I had everything
I gave everything

Look Ahead
03:25
|
|||
Look ahead
We'll find what we need to
We'll forget everything
Only way forward
Is to look ahead
Be safe
My love
Be safe
My love
Our future is made
you're not too late
Remember everything
Everything you want to
---
Always look ahead
Always look ahead
---
We were never meant to
But nothing applies
find a new home
live in disguise
Give it meaning
Give it meaning
Give it meaning

Losing Grip
03:40
|
|||
Losing grip
I can feel forever losing grip
Like the hands that held it, and let it slip away
Too many questions, too many lies again
Too many failures to be disquised
Come on and find me, and bring fire
I need a reason to admire
How do I cope, and how does it matter?
Promises break and all will be shattered
I can't feel my veins but I've tried
Like a flooded river
That's running dry faster
Too many reasons, too many ties
Bind me
Too many systems to compromise
Come on and find me, and bring fire
I need a reason to admire
How do I cope and how does it matter?
Systems will fade and everything shatters
How do I cope and how does it matter?
Everything shakes and all will be shattered
