Mercy
02:28
|
|||
Wide awake for far too long,
With endless thoughts that wander on
Won't these things just let me be,
In my heart, that once was free...?
But now I hear this call -
All hesitation gone
Mercy on my heart
All were made to be free
Cut these chains that keep you bound,
Oh, king that bears a cursed crown
Be who you were meant to be,
Oh, captive heart, set free
And now, I heed this call -
All hesitation gone
Mercy on us all
Now we run; we break free
Mercy, fall down on me
Mercy, fall down on me

Thunder
03:58

I have seen the tears you've cried
Until your eyes have run bone-dry
Lost in your mind, you run and hide
Although we know
We'll be just fine
And though we hear the thunder roll
I'll catch you if you fall
And as we stand against the storm
You know you're not alone
I have seen your deep despair
But there is no soul beyond repair
Though we've our secrets, burdens to bear
I know you know
I'll be right there
And though we hear the thunder roll
I'll catch you if you fall
And as we stand against the storm
You know you're not alone
And now the shadows are rising
And the pressure still grows
But through this war that we're fighting,
You're never alone
And though there's secrets we're hiding
Meant for no one to know
There's a light that's still shining
And I want you to know
Though we hear the thunder roll
I'll catch you if you fall
And as we stand against the storm
You know you're not alone

Still Remain
03:40
|

Born to live this day
I've waited my whole life
The world will not forget our names
Heroes never die
This promise I have made -
Now, I swear my life,
No matter what this fight will take -
I'm not afraid to die
No, I am not afraid
To step into the fray
It takes a single spark to start a blaze
We will not fade away
And as we plunge into the darkest night,
Our hearts will light the way
And though the moon will rise, and the wolves will cry
I won't turn away
And when our worlds collide, I'll be by your side
Fighting back the grey
We'll watch the shadows hide when our souls ignite
We won't fade away
We still remain
We journey through the haze
A fire in my eyes
The demons fall that meet my blade
The monsters run and hide
I won't forget those days
I'll make these wrongs a right
The darkness has no hold on fate -
I'll set the past alight
No, I am not afraid
To step into the fray
It takes a single spark to start a blaze
We will not fade away
And as we plunge into the darkest night,
Our hearts will light the way
And though the moon will rise, and the wolves will cry
I won't turn away
And when our worlds collide, I'll be by your side
Fighting back the grey
We'll watch the shadows hide when our souls ignite
We won't fade away
We still remain

Ignorance
02:46
|
|||
Well, would you take a look at this -
With all the times I've been dismissed -
Are you done with standing idly by?
Well, another day, another tool
Stuck inside your point of view
Are you done with living your own lie?
Don't you hear the sound
Of the words falling out your mouth?
This reckless heartlessness
Pure ignorance at best
Well, it's much more simple than it seems
Unless there's someone pulling at the strings -
Perhaps that's something you don't have in mind?
(Ha)
Well, I think I might just know the key
To break the curse that's lingering
We watch them burn; no, they can't run and hide
Don't you hear the sound
Of the words falling out your mouth?
This reckless heartlessness
Pure ignorance at best
Don't you hear the sound
Of the words falling out your mouth?
I see your heartlessness
In the ignorance you've spread
Listen to me, now
As I confess, aloud
Go out and find your truth
Your fate is up to you
Listen to me, now
Come shake them with the sound
Inside, we know the truth
Now we depend on you...

Your Stars
03:33
|
|||
Hidden deep within the woods -
Here you've come to find the truth,
A light in your eyes
And now you've come to seek your fate
Bravely, you don't walk away
The skies align
And though the night is breaking through
Don't you fear, just look into
The stars
Your stars
And all these days have been foretold
When nights are long, and summers cold
A sign of the times
But you can choose to find your way
Broken hearts can mend again
It's time; change the tides
And though the night is breaking through
Don't you fear, just look into
The stars
Your stars
Your destiny is yours to choose
It lies within; just look into
Your heart
Your heart
When darkness falls, and hopes are gone
Will you hold and carry on?
Arise as stars align
And now the night is breaking through
But don't you fear, just look past through
The scars
The scars
Your destiny is yours to choose
And as it calls, just look into
Your heart
Your heart

Echoes
03:41
|
|||
Roaming through the dark
To find the way back home
I'm afraid to turn around
And scared to go alone
I hear the echoes all around
Yet there is no one to be found
But it feels like someone is watching me -
Following me, it waits silently
Now it's haunting me
Following me, it waits silently
With all eyes on me
Wandering through the fog
On a path I've never known
And I don't dare to make a sound
Still I know I'm not alone
I hear the echoes all around
Yet there is no one to be found
Still it feels like someone is watching me
Following me, it waits silently
Now it's haunting me
Following me, it waits silently
With all eyes on me
Somebody save me from this tragedy
I'm trying to breathe, I can't let this be
The ending of me
I'm trying to breathe, I won't let this be
The ending of me

I'm in a dream, but I feel like I've finally woken up
I've been so hesitant - but I've settled on my decision.
And - it's okay to be vulnerable sometimes
I want to keep going
Despite the risks
Despite the difficulties I'm about to face
I'll make it
I'll be okay

The Spectre
03:24

Hello there, love
I heard your call
Through the woods, on the winds
Now you're here within my arms
There's no need to hide
Won't you tell me your name?
You're safe and you're sound
So don't run away
It's been so long, all these years alone
It's been this way - a heart without a name
I've been so lost, lonely in the dark
Don't be afraid
Tell me, won't you stay with me?
Hello there, love
I know you see these scars
I never wanted to be this -
See into my heart
The tales that they tell,
They all share happy endings -
It's not meant for me;
This curse shows no mercy
It's been so long, all these years alone
It's been this way - a heart without a name
I've been so lost, lonely in the dark
Don't run away
Tell me, won't you stay?
I've been so alone; I know I've gone insane
But won't you take my hand?
We can run and play
I don't want to hide, but they're all afraid
Can I take your hand?
Can we find our way?
I've been so alone; I know I've gone insane
But won't you take my hand?
We can run and play
I don't want to hide, but everyone's afraid
Can I take your hand?
Can we find our way?

Ashes
02:40
|
|||
His eyes are black as night,
His frail heart thundering
And she holds his hand so tight,
Together, wandering
And all the battle scars they bear,
Reflecting all that's lost
They carry on in the name of love -
A fight worth any cost
And from the ashes, we rise
And the embers glow again
As these hearts synchronize
There's no turning back this time
This time
Her eyes, a starry sky
Her heart, a pounding drum
Her strange angel by her side
Now to finish what's begun
And all the battle scars they bear,
Reminders of what's gone
The forest bathed in a sunset glow
And in the dusk, they carry on
And from the ashes, we rise
And the embers glow again
As these heart synchronize
There's no turning back this time
From the ashes, we rise
And we'll take this back again
Our hearts synchronize
This darkness ends tonight
This darkness ends tonight
This darkness ends tonight

Resolution
06:07
|
|||
Now here we are; we've found you here
There's no escape from the path you've made
These imperfections we all share
Wrought by your own hand,
But now we change our fates
I recall the days I was afraid
Of the mindless crimes of heartless fools
But vengeance burned within you, too,
And how it burned, consumed,
A blackened heart once blue
And now the burdens that we bear,
All the lives that could be spared -
Was it worth it? Was it worth it?
You've tried to justify this curse,
But now you've only made things worse
Was it worth it?
I remember lying there
Cold and broken, abandoned in this state
Yet you felt nothing, felt no shame
For this monster your heart dared to create
And now the burdens that we bear,
All the lives that could be spared -
Was it worth it? Was it worth it?
You've tried to justify this curse,
But now you've only made things worse
Was it worth it?
And now
All I want is a resolution,
But there's blood spilled on the ground
How much more will it take you
To admit that you were wrong?
I just want a resolution;
I don't want to take you down
But with this hell that I have been through
What the hell is stopping me now?
All we want is a resolution
All we want is a resolution
All we want is resolution
There's nothing stopping it now
(I just want a resolution)
(There's nothing stopping it now)
(I promise a revolution)
(There's nothing stopping it now)
Is there forgiveness for these sins?
(I just want a resolution)
Is there a way to pay for all this mess I've made?
(There's nothing stopping it now)
To take this in is bittersweet
(I promise a revolution)
Falling to my knees, I know that now I've met defeat
(There's nothing stopping it now)
Can you forgive me for these sins?
(I just want a resolution)
And how am I to pay for all this mess I've made?
(There's nothing stopping it now)
I'll take this in, though bittersweet
(I promise a revolution)
Create a better world, the world we dreamed it'd be
(There's nothing stopping it now)
And now,
I swear a revolution
No blood spilt on the ground
Tonight, this battle's over
Come throw your weapons down
We'll start our revolution
As the curse breaks on the crown
Tonight, it's starting over...
