Intro: I want to save them both but you'd crush my hopes and dreams My saving grace becomes a killing blow Verse: Your revolution's not my problem After all I'm after one my trust's been broken, crushed, and shattered --don't confuse my help for interest draw the line, don't draw conclusions I'll right wrongs and call it even Stand for something, stand for nothing moral compass lost direction Single-minded saviour complex harbinger of mass destruction endlessly equivocating twisted image suits your purpose Pay the price don't reckon with me understand the hidden motive curtains of deception crumble best intentions, darkest hours Chorus: By my hand—you will fall! My mistakes—bring your end! Verse 2: Crossroad choice determination Altered timeline—curse or blessing Clouded judgment takes its toll revenge, redemption, power leverage Keep your distance, steel yourself what lies ahead is predetermined find a way to prove your worth we've all been used, the truth unravels Spare a thought for me I'll spare a soul but don't call me an angel! Bridge: I want to save them both but you'd crush my hopes and dreams My saving grace becomes a killing blow Chorus: By my hand—you will fall! My mistakes—bring your end! Pay the price—curse my soul! Seal your fate—hellbound sent!

Verse: Memories rise like waves of July heat One last look into the past The heat of summer reveals memories beneath the mid-summer moon I called the worst storm of all Chorus: Held down, pushed on laden with the weight of mercy The burden I carry is heavy with the weight of mercy Verse 2: Decreed, by design--flawed intent—will to redeem, I banish myself for good face defeat, cherish my misery shield them from debris of my absolute destruction Bridge: How hard I try, I cannot hide from this life I kiss the sky and raise my peacemaker high

Verse 1: This crown makes me the king I own the sword I make the rules Unclaimed lies the deed Cross me now Put this fake to the test Chorus: Do you take me for a fool? I know what I am worth Watch your tongue you knave beware you'll strike a nerve I carry what is mine, all that I've earned Have you had enough? You'll get what you deserve Verse 2: Secondhand birthright A forgery is just as good No more heroes left Prove your worth Face the will I have wrought!

Verse 1: I'll leave These empty rooms are void of life and warmth of touch Long ago there was a chance they'd be our space and hold us dear Time's up The choice was made by indecisive minds and now it's up to time to tell how long that we will be apart and long for time enough to tell what we were part of anyway then part our ways of longing Back home I'm saddened by the lies we're sold to keep us warm the lies we've told to keep us safe the safety we've rejected by design as long as we can safely lie on damaged signs when we're awake Time to go The end is what we made Chorus: I'll be gone (...imprinted on these whispered nights...) I'll be gone (...what's on my mind, what needs a light...) Verse 2: Lights out The candle wick betrays your note Like time, a pool of wax and dusty panes Fine lines between the notes, between the trails, a metaphor I speak to underscore your words Find the lies Intrigued by what I offer you we chance the night, risk our lives to deconstruct what's in the ground and hope the morn is more than what was given up and mourn the hope I've given up to stand my ground Finalise a final time Chorus: I'll be gone (...forever gone I breathe a sigh...) I'll be gone (...let it go into the night...)

Verse: You sat on the edge of spring flowed through the ice to summer and fade away Braced in the courtyard --will I feel again? I'm numb to the wind dispersing thoughts Chorus: I fade out head in the clouds Verse: Soon, a prayer of crosses landlocked soul of sea I will fall familiarity on the ground Chorus: And it fades tear-stained love letters And it fades postmarked truth Bridge: Photograph memory desaturate all feelings there could be hollow me Follow me harmony unlimited these dreams only in sleep on dead leaves Chorus: I fade in clear sky mind I fade in see it through this time I fade in

This house is cursed Mosaic thunderstorm, scattered on the page, childhood memory gaze, written on your face Metamorphosis, turned life to dust evaporated words escape collapsing picture frames Today is tomorrow first Verisimilitude projects against the fallen stars This day will bleed into the night Apocalyptic pendulum obfuscates life and the divide Astral bond stolen away with fatalistic needs darkness holds a frozen thought while Time will wait

I can feel my breath slipping in between my ribs, my disks slipping and collapsing a distant civilization taking revenge on an image my lungs fail unless I remember after a moment I remember to breathe following the air here or there and say exactly what's on my mind under the weight I exhale but fill up with anxiety exiting the day . . . gently down under water I return light pad muffled bending shape take 3 steps into the water blessed eye future borne

Prelude (i. The Fallout): When the red stone fell I went down to the beach to collect the pieces Too sharp to handle I gathered them up in my cloak and smiled at my bloodied hands Gently touching the others on the shore, sharing their pain as they cleared the shards I wiped away the fallout, tenderly tearing my feet on the ashes a great fire burned the sky bore a hole in my heart and covered the land with darkness while you bathed the fallen in the ocean returning them to an earthly state. The air I breathe my angel (ii. Oath & Order) Verse 1: Without four points We can only try By the light of the moon Buy some time for you O brother dear gone so long in the name of your father we swore an oath to stand by you Verse 2: An oath, to guard to hold you up worth measured in generations gone yours is the only name in the night false histories burned to keep silent storied legends Chorus: Into the night Awakening what's inside Into the night The darkness or the light ...into the night (iii. Knowledge & Loyalty) Verse 3: Burning knowledge of fire lights the way for you to see when I cannot How bright your destiny I saw it was crystal clear how you'll save us now just wait for me Verse 4: how we're born and who we are dwelling on the innermost what we manifest is what we're meant to be the nature of gods--fate--time--intertwine with our will Chorus 2: Into the night A guide shines in the sky Into the night To walk the path that's right Breakdown (iv. Judgment): Supported by the violent lights of the past who shone too bright for us to see the devastation of dark energy created and protected by their control You inherit the trauma wreaked by abusive parents who only wanted to protect, to do what's best, to keep secret their kindness is not a virtue but affectations of necessity, an act of violence on our delicate lives This destiny means death by trial, by fire and flood, by the wrath of the sky and burden of the earth, by any means We must kill our fathers before they kill us To take arms against an injustice of the saving light radiating decay lead by the light filled with darkness, witness to a lucid nightmare, insomniac by any other name Put up your guard, wall yourself off to lose your friends, your love, your humanity, see how much you lose how far you fall in 10 years and what you'll do to feel again Chorus: Into the night Awakening what's inside Into the night The darkness or the light Into the night Redemption is in sight Into the night Follow the line of light Into the night Postlude (v. Promise): I have been in conflict with this body since before the dawn, before the night, before the walls came up. I will not know rest, but some day the night will take me into sleep.
