Vendetta
Verse 1
This is an open letter to those that speak ill of my name
Although you've heard my voice I doubt you know my pain
Running in circles playing this mindless game
Just remember lions can not be tamed
Chorus
This is the last time I find myself walking away
You've spread your last lie, you've let the beast right out the cage
Hear me loud and clear this stone heart filled with rage
Hear me loud and clear, I will show no fear!
Verse 2
Still your voice haunts me, like shards of glass in the back of my mind
Your presence sickens me, must be hard to stand when you have no spine
It's time to take a seat, It's time that you admit defeat
Your reign is over, sit down kid it's time for kings to play!
Chorus
This is the last time I find myself walking away
You've spread your last lie, you've let the beast right out the cage
Hear me loud and clear this stone heart filled with rage
Hear me loud and clear, I will show no fear!
Verse 3
We've gone too far, we're so far gone
How did it come to this, where do we go from here
I know in my heart, I see through the bullshit
I know in my heart, that I will get through this!
Chorus
This is the last time I find myself walking away
You've spread your last lie, you've let the beast right out the cage
Hear me loud and clear this stone heart filled with rage
Hear me loud and clear, I will show no fear!

Verse 1
Aren't you feeling sick
Are you not sick of feeling weak
Can you hear me
Are you getting tired?
Ever so tired of being on your knees
We could make a difference,
We could be the greater change this world needs
So stand with me, In unity
we can end tyranny
-Piano Bridge-
Chorus
We stand side by side
Side by side we stand for man kind
Forever will I defend my brothers
I am the guide in these trivial times
We stand side by side
Side by side we'll will stand for man kind
crawling out of the endless abyss
I will make the best of our suffering
Verse 2
Every night we close our eyes,
to hide a life of self-destruction
In our dreams we could conquer the world,
so let’s bring these dreams to life
Open your eyes Hell's all around us
Break out of your vice, raise up your voice
One life one choice, be heard or destroyed
Stand up and fight, this is our right
Chorus
We stand side by side
Side by side we stand for man kind
Forever will I defend my brothers
I am the guide in these trivial times
We stand Sside by side
Side by side we'll stand for man kind
crawling out of the endless abyss
I will make the best of our suffering

Cold Karma

Intro
Verse 3 foreshadow
when our lives are laid before us, our path of choices have forged us
Into what we've become
Cold karma cuts me swiftly, wounding me ever so deeply
Repaying me for all of my sins
Chorus
May my good intentions outweigh all of my transgressions.
This is my call of distress, as I ride through this storm
There’s no more fixing anymore of my mistakes
These hauntings of my past wrap my head in thorns
Through all this suffering I’ve built up a tolerance to pain
As I emerge from this hell, I try to end this war
Too long my conscience has been imprisoned by conflict’s walls
I long for lasting hope and comfort evermore
Verse 1
Temptation calls my name
A dangerous game I’ve played
An expensive price to pay
Giving the devil the reigns
Chorus
May my good intentions outweigh all of my transgressions
This is my call of distress, as I ride through this storm
There’s no more fixing anymore of my mistakes
These hauntings of my past wrap my head in thorns
Through all of this suffering I’ve built up a tolerance to pain
As I emerge from this hell, I try to end this war
Too long my conscience has been imprisoned by conflict’s walls
I long for lasting hope, and comfort evermore
Breakdown- (Verse2)
AS I walk through the valley of death
I am faced with mountains of my regrets
Still I fear no evil, as I am put to the test
As I walk through the valley of death
I am faced with mountains of my regrets
still I fear no evil
As I eternally Rest
=Pre verse-
Verse 3
when our lives are laid before us, our path of choices have forged us into what we've become
Cold karma cuts me swiftly, wounding me ever so deeply repaying me forall of my sins
What you give is what you get in this life or the next in the end we are all the same
so be kind an generous, to others give what you have to spare above all else just be fair

Out of Lights Reach
03:20

-Verse 1-
Temptation claws out my eyes
My cries echo from the abyss
I am the void trapped in the flesh
Eyes of judgement peer down to me
featherless wings stripped bare from
swimming in the lake of flames
Where are my savior's hands
I am caged just out of lights reach
-Verse 2-
I Reach
for the heavens
Reach for the stars
How could this hell be ours
Reach
for the heavens
Reach for the stars
The eyes of our father see who we are
-Chorus-
So we'll carry on
and find our way to bring you up
Your faith in me gives me the strength to achieve
The sights we set are never too high for us
-Verse 3-
Oh Where is my way out
Searching for a sense of comfort
Another sleepless night
Hope is just a childish dream
I hear my conscience scream
Warnings so loud they make my ears bleed
still I feed the beast
Is it the beast that feeds me
-Chorus-
So we'll carry on
and find our way to bring you up
your faith in me gives me the strength to achieve
The sights we set are never too high for us

Solitude
-Verse 1
You can. Waste your time. Searching. for a sign,
Always, wondering. Why you’re hollow inside
And we, ask ourselves Why we. Feel incomplete
There is, so much more, buried, within our soul
-Chorus
So ask yourself how you find inner peace
When there's no where for you to turn to find strength in solitude
Wasting all your time, looking for a way out
You’re only feeding the beast of doubt
-Verse 2
pick up yourself off of the barren ground,
Fear not, the horizon, it only brings new hope
have faith in yourself for I was once just like you,
Sometimes we have to be the ones to make the sun shine
-Chorus
So ask yourself how you find inner peace
When there's no where for you to turn to find strength in solitude
Wasting all your time, looking for a way out
You’re only feeding the beast of doubt
-Verse 3
So hold your head up high
reach for the brightest star
now is the time for you to shine
awaken the flame that burns inside
carry on, let fate lose its grip
carry on, be the captain of this ship
You must find strength in solitude
-Chorus
So ask yourself how you find inner peace
When there's no where for you to turn to find strength in solitude
Wasting all your time, looking for a way out
You’re only feeding the beast of doubt

Velvet Glove
-Verse 1-
We are the culprit of our own demise
We can’t escape ourselves
There’s nowhere to hide
Drowning in the waters of our selfish pride
Disabled by our discontent
We are the culprit of our own demise
We can’t escape ourselves
There’s nowhere to hide
Drowning in the waters of our selfish pride
Disarmed by our discontent
Well's ran dry
Lost are the feet that follow the herd
Guilty hearts beat louder than war drums
Lost are the feet that follow the herd
We’ve been mislead
-Chorus-
Slippery the slope that we attempt to climb
Helplessly our hope quickly begins to die
Comforting ourselves with white lies
With more scars than stars in the sky
Our endless quest to kill the pain
Bound by guilt’s heavy razor chain
Searching for hope we burst into flames
Forever our hearts will remain untamed
-Verse 2-
Forsaken our innocence
We’ve misplaced the meaning of life
We as a people have forgotten
How to love, and how to give
Stop looking for, signs from above
Be the change, be the velvet glove
Be the one they can depend upon
Be the one they will call upon
-Chorus-
Slippery the slope that we attempt to climb
Helplessly our hope quickly begins to die
Comforting ourselves with white lies
With more scars than stars in the sky
Our endless quest to kill the pain
Bound by guilt’s heavy razor chain
Searching for hope we burst into flames
Forever our hearts will remain untamed

The Cure
Oh set my body a blaze
My vision is filled with a heavy haze
Trapped in bars of flame
Lost within this endless maze
This inferno has become
My home of tremendous pain
Oh what I'd give to make
this all go away
-Chorus
As I fall apart
my eyes pace the horizon
in search for a cure,
hope I long for you my dear
There's not much time left,
Unfinished things left to regret
Will I gain the life in me
ever again
Verse 2
Searching far and wide, hoping I can find
Something pure, to make me glow like new
My life long quest, before I can lay to rest
Put my self to the test, to find my cure
Chorus again
Post Chorus Bridge
This disease inside of me is one that you will never see
Dont try to cure me, all the doctors in the world couldnt fix me
Hollow heart, empty shell this is my life I'm living hell
Pale skin and bloodshot eyes, with open arms I welcome my demise
Chorus
As I fall apart
my eyes pace the horizon
in search for a cure,
hope I long for you my dear
There's not much time left,
Unfinished things left to regret
Will I gain the life in me
ever again
Verse 3 (clean guitar)
If I could, turn back the hands of time
Maybe I'd make better life choices
Maybe then you'd see a better side of me
one that we could both find respect again
Chorus
As I fall apart
my eyes pace the horizon
in search for a cure,
hope I long for you my dear
There's not much time left,
Unfinished things left to regret
Will I gain the life in me
ever again
Devour Me
Post Chorus Bridge
This disease inside of me is one that you will never see
Dont try to cure me, all the doctors in the world couldnt fix me
Hollow heart, empty shell this is my life I'm living hell
Pale skin and bloodshot eyes, with open arms I welcome my demise

Verse 1
Father Storm, can you hear me,
line these sails with silent speed
OH I am a vessel,
Set on a course with a destiny
unnmatched Fortitude
My endless drive will open the sky
dawn is upon us
I will waste no more time
Chorus
Oh captain can you hear the sirens singing their deceitful songs
In unison They call to me, singing their sweet songs of misery
this ship and faithful crew is ALL i'VE GOT LEFT TO LOSE
We won't go down without a fight, strenght and vigilence all night
Each night I fear the worst, I fear that this voyage has been cursed
Hold fast stand with me, be brave for your family
I swear we'll make it out alive, together we'll survive this storm
We've been through this before, wont be long 'til we see shore
Verse 2
The calm before the storm
Helps put my mind at ease
Accompanied by the fog
A gentle haze that sets me free
with each crashing wave
I find myself in a bitter daze
Hold fast, it wont be long
Hold fast, just be strong
Chorus
Oh captain can you hear the sirens singing their deceitful songs
In unison They call to me, singing their sweet songs of misery
this ship and faithful crew is all I have left to lose
We won't go down without a fight, with strenght and vigilence all night
Each night I fear the worst, I fear that this voyage has been cursed
Hold fast stand with me, be brave for your family
I swear we'll make it out alive, together we'll withstand this storm
We've been through this before, wont be long until we see shore
Bridge
Verse 3
I am the light Set to guide this
vessle swiftly to shore
no matter how dark The night
I will shine forever bright
No matter how big the waves
I'll swim till the end of my days
These hopeful eyes are open wide
Sights set upon the horizon

"Empathy"
Verse 1
Can you hear the wolves howling at your front door?
Take from you, what they will bitter as the winter chill
Their hearts are empty voids that cannot be filled
We feast upon their glimmering lies laying on a bed of knives
Chorus
Life without passion is life without purpose
A voice without action is a soldier on his knees
My heart bleeds empathy for the world
Surrounding me with negative energy
Each day I wake up with anvils on my chest
Praying for change is ever so daunting
I must reiterate how much this concerns me
Society will not destroy the better part of me
Verse 2
Greed, is such an ugly beast when so many people are suffering
Poverty, our city screams in misery the carnage is all but upon us
Too afraid to ask for anything for fear of being ridiculed by everyone
How can we hear their cries when we are too busy bathing in the comfort of our luxuries
Chorus
life without passion is life without purpose
A voice without action is a soldier on his knees
My heart bleeds empathy for the world
Surrounding me with negative energy
Each day I wake up with anvils on my chest
Praying for change is ever so daunting
I must reiterate how much this concerns me
Society will not destroy the better part of me

Tranquility
04:02

|

It was never a plan of mine to let the sands of time slip through my blistered hands
I strike a match to the candle of life and I tell myself everything will be fine
As I shatter the brick walls in my way I leap hurtles to fight another day
Though I am weary, my lungs are weak, I will never yield or admit defeat
I will never admit defeat
Truth be told, some folks say to live by the sword is to die by the blade
But I refuse to believe that the pen has ever been mightier than the sword
There has not ever been a better time to shine the light into the dark
We've aloud our demons to swallow the key to our tranquility
Tranquility
If you can't feel the sickness then you're part of the putrid disease
You are the weakness on which this broken system feeds
Stop feeding the beast
Truth be told, some folks say to live by the sword is to die by the blade
But I refuse to believe that the pen has ever been mightier than the sword
There has not ever been a better time to shine the light into the dark
We've aloud our demons to swallow the key to our tranquility
Tranquility

Frozen Planet
03:30
|

I'm just sick of spinning on this frozen planet
Over crowded by those of you who lack compassion
We've defeated ourselves by feeding our egos
And every single one of you is brittle as glass
They know nothing of pain until they've buried the one they love
I drag the water while no light radiates from above
Like falling stars on the horizon you've crossed to the other side
I tried to awaken the sunrise that once lied in your eyes
We wage war with one and other treating our tyrants as heros
Distracted by our programmed desires
The time is now to leave your past behind
Leave your dark past behind
Seize the day, We'll take the world and make it ours
Take the world and make it our paradise
How long will you stay asleep
Keep on dreaming, keep on dreaming
Wondering the globe as lost souls
Constantly contemplating what life should be
Time to wake up!
I'm just sick of spinning on this frozen planet
Over crowded by those of you who lack compassion
We've defeated ourselves by feeding our egos
And every single one of you is brittle as glass
They know nothing of pain until they've buried the one they love
I drag the water while no light radiates from above
Like falling stars on the horizon you've crossed to the other side
I tried to awaken the sunrise that once lied in your eyes

My Shelter
Verse 1
Please hear me out while I, choke on these heavy words
It’s never been easy for you to, express yourself clearly
I guess I’ll start by saying, you’ve restored life within me
I’m here holding you up, saving you just in time
You’re purity comforts me,
Let my grace be your shelter
Thank you for accepting me, and my life of chaos
For the first time with clarity, I am able to breath
I breathe with clarity
Chorus:
We’ll make the pieces fall into line
Hold out your hand and I’ll give you mine
We’ll make the pieces fit
We’re blessed with time on our hands
We’ll make the pieces fall into line
With you forever I will stand
Verse 2:
I can see what you’re going through, just know that I am with you
darkest is the lonely road, one you don’t have to travel
Too many times I’ve been, defeated, by my own hand
Time and time in circles again, I am the hammer’s anvil
Even when you feel alone, I stand right beside you
welcoming with loving arms, there’s nothing we can’t handle
Forgive me for being so, blinded by fears
Let’s Torch the vale, don't hide the light, we are the candle of life
Verse 3:
You're my rock, you're my shelter and
when I look at you I find ultimate comfort
in the meadows of your beautiful green eyes
You’re the only reason I have not fallen apart
You are not falling apart
