Broken Mask

I’ve been waiting for so long
It seems you’ve gone too far
And now you show yourself
To be who you really are
You’ve been hiding for so long
But your mask is cracking now
The shards fall to the ground
Your shield has fallen down
The mask you wore is broken now
Face the facts and see
No longer can you hide away
It’s time to face the truth
Take your step, the time has come
No longer can you run
Holding fast, down inside
You must face your enemy
The mask you wore is broken now
Face the facts and see
No longer can you hide away
It’s time to face the truth
You’ve been tired for so long it seems by now
Unable to be yourself in life
So you cried in the night
Now you stand unbowed and free
The mask you wore is broken now
Face the facts and see
No longer can you hide away
It’s time to face the truth
The mask you wore is broken now
Face the facts and see
No longer can you hide away
It’s time to face the truth

Look Out

Here in the darkened woodlands
Here in this empty cabin
No one around to make a sound
Here alone I am safe
Safe from the world that’s out there
Invisible threats all around
Everyone has gone away
Run back to change their answer
To the question of what to do
Every noise is a threat
Every touch could be death
And the next victim could be you
What in the world has happened?
What am I going to do?
Hiding away to bide my time
I don’t know how much longer
I can keep this up
Isolation’s not so sublime
Gonna run out that back door
Into the driving rain
Look out and keep your eyes ahead
Look out to see the bubble burst
The world crumbles around you
Brace yourself for the terror
Look out to make it through the day
Cannot escape my own mind
Cannot escape my own fate
Whatever it is going to be
At the mercy of nature
Trying to find some answer
Desperately wishing I could see
Can I control these feelings?
Can I make them my own?
Shape them to something I might use
Even if all that means is
Dancing eccentrically
Taking advantage to let loose
Gonna run out that back door
Into the driving rain
Look out and keep your eyes ahead
Look out to see the bubble burst
The world crumbles around you
Brace yourself for the terror
Look out to make it through the day
Save me
Save me
I don’t know what I am gonna do
Save me
Save me
I just know that I can’t take one more day without going insane
Gonna run out that back door
Into the driving rain
Look out and keep your eyes ahead
Look out to see the bubble burst
The world crumbles around you
Brace yourself for the terror
Look out to make it through the day
Save me
Save me
I don’t know what I am gonna do
Save me
Save me
I just know that I can’t take one more day without going insane

Nightmare
05:15
|

Shadows close in around you
Cannot tell if it’s dusk or dawn
You reach out but there’s no one there
Cannot see what’s ahead of you
Will this nightmare end?
Caught in a void, ‘tween life and death
Dreams are running, catch them while you can
Lest they’ll all mean nothing in the end
Let the cold reach into your heart
Here you’re alone
Nobody's going to get you home
Will this nightmare end?
Hold on with all you’ve got
Darkness reigns
Who knows if you’ll make it out again
Light the way, the road ahead
Is blackened
But maybe you can find your way
Will this nightmare end?
Lost in a dream
Will this nightmare end?

Spirit

Sing the song of long lost glory
Sing to recollect our knowledge
Sing to summon ancient moments
Sing to set our spirits free now
Spirit rising
Out of our strife
Call upon the wisdom passed on down
Stories that convey all we have learned
Visiting like ghosts back from the grave
Rising up now, buried no longer
Spirit rising
Out of our strife
Sing to bring about peace at last
Call upon the wishes of the past
Sing to surpass whatever comes
Rising up, our spirits free now
Spirit rising
Out of our strife
Free from this form
Ethereal
Changing definitions
Of existence
Bound together
By eternity
Embrace the change
Set your spirit free now
Spirit rising
Out of our strife

Fate

Come with me, together
We’ll fight the swirling tides of fate
No one will stop us
Cast off your tears
Embrace the pain
Lessons you remember for life
Heed them
I will go
To where’s the rivers will flow
Oceans rise, now come, oh fate
Challenge me!
No matter what befalls us
I am glad to have you here with me
Anguish has no strength
Voices inside
Beckoning now
Rise up to the future, for us
Hear them
I will go
To where’s the rivers will flow
Oceans rise, now come, oh fate
Challenge me!
Oh, will these flowers bloom?
The meadow grows
It finds its way
Fights fate
I will go
To where’s the rivers will flow
Oceans rise, now come, oh fate
Challenge me!
Oh, will these flowers bloom?
The meadow grows
It finds its way
Fights fate

A Song and a Dance
08:40

Sing me the song
I have crossed through the void
I have spoken in many lands
I have suffered and been broken
Throughout the times
I have seen many lines
Manufactured and unspoken
Being enforced and left open
No more dreaming
I have stood upon the mountain
I have walked across the plain
I have soaked up the sunshine
And have basked in the rain
If I ever stopped to think
And If I ever stopped to feel
I would tear myself apart
For I know this can’t be real, ooh
Seek out the course
See the world through the lens
Of another form of being
Through another form of thinking
Climb to the sky
Look upon horizons
That your ancestors have seen now
What descendants will discover
Sing me the song
Timeless and immortal
Ever flowing, ever dancing
On a landscape of allusion
No more dreaming
I have stood upon the mountain
I have walked across the plain
I have soaked up the sunshine
And have basked in the rain
If I ever stopped to think
If I ever stopped to feel
I would tear myself apart
For I know this can’t be real, ooh
