Defiance

Stand your ground, do not give up
Show them all the meaning of defiance
See the winding twisted path ahead of me
Where it goes is obscure, I know not where it leads
Though I will fall again and again
I’ll get up - I’m not backing down
Claim the power that lies inside you
You don’t need to control anyone than yourself
You, have the strength to stand unbroken
So stand tall and secure
I will stand with all others
Who don’t bow to mindless orders
I will fight this losing battle
Till I hear my spirit call
I will stand with all others
Who believe the world is ours
Stand your ground, do not give up
Show them all the meaning of defiance
We are capable of whatever we choose
We’re not bound by deceit, self-fulfilled prophecy
Go! tell them all we won’t be cast aside
We will stand - we will fight
I will stand with all others
Who don’t bow to mindless orders
I will fight this losing battle
Till I hear my spirit call
I will stand with all others
Who believe the world is ours
Stand your ground, do not give up
Show them all the meaning of defiance
I will stand with all others
Who don’t bow to mindless orders
I will fight this losing battle
Till I hear my spirit call
I will stand with all others
Who believe the world is ours
Stand your ground, do not give up
Show them all the meaning of defiance
I will stand with all others
Who don’t bow to mindless orders
I will fight this losing battle
Till I hear my spirit call
I will stand with all others
Who believe the world is ours
Stand your ground, do not give up
Show them all the meaning of defiance
Yeah!

Echoes of Harmony
04:54

There out of the fog it comes
A vision taking form
A dream inside your mind
Stands before you, born
From who you are
And what you’ve done
To show you what
You’ll become
Can you remember now?
It echoes from your past
Returning to your time
Restoring what you’re owed
To advise
To reveal
Hell on Earth
And how to heal
Reaching in
To your soul
Heaven on Earth lies at your feet
The world returns what you create
Go forth, live free
Create the world that you
Would like to live in right now
I wish that you could see
Echoes of harmony
Beyond the veil of this dream
This specter from a dream
Clears the mist away
Now your eyes can see
The bridges burning down
The match was lit
By your hand
Time to go
Be set free
Can you predict it now?
The future’s taking form
Turning the world around
Raising it from the ground
What you’ve done
Has begun
To change yourself
And what’s around
Reaching out
From your soul
Heaven on Earth lies at your feet
The world returns what you create
Go forth, live free
Create the world that you
Would like to live in right now
I wish that you could see
Echoes of harmony
Beyond the veil of this dream
Go forth, live free
Create the world that you
Would like to live in right now
I wish that you could see
Echoes of harmony
Beyond the veil of this dream

Playtime's Over

Playtime’s over
Now we race toward the siren’s call
Crawling over
Fallen rubble the hammer falls
Stretch out your arms
Take my hand to survive it all
As the evening horizon comes
They start to crawl
No more time
To mess around
Now we push forward
As the buildings
Crumble down
Now we charge
Some survivors
Come together to shield themselves
Leaving children
Other wounded with nothing else
Get right to them
Drag them out of this quagmire
We can do this
Together we might save them all
No more time
To mess around
Now we push forward
As the buildings
Crumble down
Now we charge

Ride Till Dawn
03:59
|

Fading of colors
Time soldiers on
But I remember a dream once shared
Filled with the hopes
Of a thousand lies
Stare at the image
Of a torn photograph
Ride till dawn
On silver wings
Turn in the end to dust
Say a prayer
This sacrifice
In the darkest of nights they call
And it still echoes
Ride till dawn
Ride till dawn
Standing strong
Weather the storm that comes
Here I am
Not alone
In the darkest of nights they call
And it still echoes on
Ride till dawn
On silver wings
Turn in the end to dust
Say a prayer
This sacrifice
In the darkest of nights they call
And it still echoes
Ride till dawn
Stare at the image
Of a torn photograph
But I’ll remember
To ride till dawn

I’m a mess
I’m a square peg that’s been fit into a circle
Spinning round and round
Like marbles swirling in and out of sight
I need a fitness trainer
I’ll get dance instructor
Maybe then I could do it right
There’s just so many steps
And it’s so hard to balance
And there’s so little time and…
(Hold it together now!)
Pick them up
I’m just trying to hold on to all the pieces
They’re falling everywhere
An avalanche of words and thoughts descending
I could take flight lessons
I could be the pilot
Maybe then I could just keep my head up
(Hold it together now!)
(Do it again)
Circle down the drain
(Do it again)
Like a fire in my brain
(Do it again)
This train is leaving town
(Do it again)
Maybe things will make sense when no one’s left around
They say
That the heart is tethered to what lives in the mind
A mind built like a maze
The sights and sounds I’m sure they would astound you
I could be the designer
Or perhaps the engineer
Maybe then, I could figure it out
(Hold it together now!)
(Do it again)
Circle down the drain
(Do it again)
Like a fire in my brain
(Do it again)
This train is leaving town
(Do it again)
Maybe things will make sense when no one’s left around
I wanted to be near you
I wanted to be saved
And every time I’m with you
I feel like I’m insane
Well, am I?
Holding on
Walking on a tightrope with no net below me
This chaos frightens me
Like plunging down as the abyss awaits me
I could be the traffic conductor
I should be the tour director
Just need to focus and
(Hold it together now!)
(Do it again)
Circle down the drain
(Do it again)
Like a fire in my brain
(Do it again)
This train is leaving town
(Do it again)
Maybe things will make sense when no one cares and no one’s left around

A Dove Without Wings
10:43
|

Searching for the one
Who will break the spell upon me
Setting me free at last
From these chains that I have suffered
One step more
And I’ll turn myself around
So lost now
That I almost can’t be found
I feel boxed in
Like a dove without its wings
One false step
And then surely I will drown
Working in golden fields
All has been decided for me
How to live
How to die
Borders reinforced
Ensuring that we all keep order
One step now
And we’ll turn ourselves around
So lost now
That we almost can’t be found
Feel boxed in
Like a dove without its wings
One false step
And then surely we will drown
Waiting together for
A hero who will challenge them all
Spoken in prophecy
To vanquish our understanding
Of our (searching for salvation)
Limits (Like a dove without wings)
Leading us all away
To some great society
Now we see
Over the fields
The twilight of captivity
One climbs over
These hallowed fields
To release us
From this prison of our lives
Smash the chains and burn the place
Leave it all behind
Step outside your given station
Let your mind unwind
The hero that we want is here
The time has now arrived
We set upon the open road
The journey has begun
And now
We’ve traveled so far
Climbed through the muck and the mud
See the shine of the blade
Now it is turned upon us
But there’s always tiger’s den
With the jackals waiting outside
Danger lurks around every turn
One false step and then we’ll all burn
The dove must fly
And now
Betrayal so clear
Crushed by one we held dear
There is no escape
We are all on our own
But there’s always tiger’s den
With the jackals waiting outside
Danger lurks around every turn
One false step and then we’ll all burn
The dove must fly
Gathered together now
With no idols to cling our hopes on
We must save ourselves
And create a life worth fighting for
(Searching for salvation)
Be released
(Like a dove that’s found its wings)
From curses of ignorance
Just step outside and free your own mind
One step more
And we’ll be upon our way
Focused now
No care if we are found
Feel relief
Like a dove that’s found its wings
One sure step
And We’re off to make our road
Working fields
Never more
Hoping for
For someone
To climb over
These hallowed grounds
To join with us
In this glory of our lives
Smash the chains and burn the place
Leave it all behind
Step outside your given station
Let your mind unwind
The hero that we want is us
The time has now arrived
We set upon the open field
The journey has begun
