Should have known it from the moment I came,
I would never see the sun.
Where are you taking me?
In this lunatic country we suffer from stupidity
I've got my holy army, won't you join me?
Here I stand until this focus fails me,
I have never seen the sun.
As I cross that line, hands raised, eyes facing me
want will be your road.
We can win, it's heresy
wearing masks of empathy.
My god is on my side, and he will forgive me
if I wove lies in disguise.
Here I stand until this focus fails me,
I have never seen the sun.
As I cross that line, hands raised, eyes facing me
want will be your road.
Oh you and me, we want the same things.
So why are you afraid? Isn't he the one who
made you feel safe?
Here I stand until this focus fails me,
I have never seen the sun.
As I cross that line, hands raised, eyes facing me
want will be your road.
So race.

Seldon (Acoustic)

You may have seen the sun before
you may remember feeling warm,
waking up renewed and clever.
But light is lost under these trees
where sorrow falls like little leaves
and we remain to start life over.
Remember how we used to be.
The perfect sons of sovereignty
defiant only in our measures.
Take me back to sure Seldon.
To the faces you dream of.
To the moment of belief
as we lay our son to sleep.
Mother, make him alright.
Divide not this sea.
I will cover his broken body
and force my eyes away.
His venerated name we sung
Kyrie Eleison
Other sons are coming home, ours will
remember how we used to be.
Remember all the life in me?
Remind me why I can recover

Surface (Acoustic)

Lately, it would seem that I
will believe anything you throw at me.
But in between what you say and why
is everything.
It's fascinating.
You surface
surface
you surface
and sometimes I wish you'd never come up
Time has passed, and here we are
never knowing how near or how far
one day, when the clarity haunts your sleep
know the apple can't fall far from the tree.
Surface
you surface
you surface
and sometimes I wish you'd never come up
Man overboard, no life raft
I swear we tried to hold him back
claimed he could see a shore ahead
and dove, and swam, and left the surface
Surface
you surface
The weak inside…

Nothing Here

There is nothing here worth saving
there is nothing left at all
now this hope is gone
and I'll be moving on
to live on like a song in your head.
Where did it begin?
The problem was us,
the trouble was them.
They look like big, strong hands
don't they?
Where did it begin?
The problem was us,
then it caved in.
They look like big, strong hands
don't they?
So I
will live like I've got nothing left to hide
and I'll
forget about the suffering in time
and know
that wherever you are tonight it's fine
I am building armor.

Phoenix

I would give anything
to stop this change in life
happened to suddenly
I tried to shut my eyes
but I see many things
that you try to hide
so tell me everything
new life starts tonight.
And always the mistakes
that I've made had their place
How many ways
Knowing what I know now, would change?
How many ways
Knowing what I know now, would I change?
Now with my sympathy
I stand alone beside
all of this history
but don't dare shut your eyes
this is our moment. We.
Above the fire
rise and take a final look
then scatter me as ashes fly.
No one will ever love you more.
