The Convoy of Ruin
How close are we to the final hours? How far are we from the days bygone? When the mornings before did not mean waiting for a storm Now we keep dreading not waking again at all Our fate doesn’t lie in the hands of a maker Our mother’s the earth and we dare not forsake her But what if what’s left is charade of a former haven It’s time to repay the debt Burn down the bridges to the old It’s time to repay the debt Lingered in limbo far too long It’s time to repay the debt Now enter the age of what went wrong It’s time to repay the debt When earth’s deserted by its sons It’s time to repay the debt Search me Find me Search me Find me Save me or let me go Time is our ultimate enemy Its claws withhold us from getting free Devoid of a plan stuck knee-deep without compass The countdown is on for the grains in the hourglass Nature will take back the helm it lost from us We got carried away and now it’s time to repay the debt Burn down the bridges to the old It’s time to repay the debt Lingered in limbo far too long It’s time to repay the debt Now enter the age of what went wrong It’s time to repay the debt When earth’s deserted by its daughters We have to to repay the debt No one won When the ocean breaches the walls

I was born by a river That fulfilled my youth Its banks are awash now Overflowed and mute But have you looked up to the sky? Have you seen what the dreams hold inside? Under this dome, far from home The levee has broken Long time ago Illusions have faded Of what we are worth For the outside world But have you looked up to the sky? Have you seen what gives the creeps to your spine? Inside the night Refine our faith Scrap insecurities We must be free to live Instead of gravity

So follow this treacherous road Or nosedive into darkness Sure peril awaits on the wrong side Impasse on the other So make your choice So reality settles in And we’ve resigned nearly everything But where do we build from here? Where do we go? The hour draws near when we must make the choice To hide under doubt or to raise our voice Broaden the view or constrain our scope We must trailblaze our own road So you followed the fire But nothing real ever transpired Followed the trail to the ruin of mankind The truth shall set you free So descend to chaos now Or ascend to the greater heights Where the scenery spans the horizon And the sun shall never set Take me home The truth shall set you free When you accept its gravity And so, when we reach the sky Nothing will ever the be the same Nothing ever comes without pain The hour draws near when we must make the choice To hide under doubt or to raise our voice Broaden the view or constrain our scope We must trailblaze our own road The hour draws near and we ramble still here We hide under doubt when we should fight against the fear Broaden the view or constrain our scope We must trailblaze our own road And so, when we reach the sky Nothing will ever the be the same Nothing ever comes without pain We must trailblaze our own road

Beaten Walls around me still Captive Held against my will Heathen Words to cleanse my soul Warden Of ideals that keep me whole But I Won’t submit to a system awry Walk alone Heathen to the bone Every martyr that lives like a king Every story that binds you within Every moment that counts as a sin Seize the day and unlearn everything Heathen to the bone Insurgent For not believing in tales Sceptic Of what the future entails Every martyr that lives like a king Every story that binds you within Every moment that counts as a sin Seize the day and unlearn everything Every mile that you must walk alone Every morning that you see the sun Every lie that you’re able to break Be the motion be the renegade Heathen to the bone

Abyss I stare at the barren wasteland we have grown I try to fathom all of the damage we have done The species that we once had are gone The sights and the sounds have turned to none And all that remains is the memory of our fall Enough of the preach It’s time to release What’s been written on these pages Of death and disease It’s a manifestation of our time A vigil for our kind I can see the dreams coming down Read my tale and tear it open As the tidal waves crush us down Some are singing the songs of resurrection When the autumn leaves fall in spring One must own and reflect on their past deeds And cast the tale to the wind Our voices will keep echoing in the night Our voices will keep – echoing in the night Our voices will keep – echoing in the night Calm Always seems to make way for the storm I’m writing down the mistakes we have done Left to carry the burden of our sins In our greed we burned down everything And though I’ll be gone soon I still can’t forgive you It’s a curtain call for all we know But our past must go so that we can be reborn I can see the dreams coming down Read my tale and tear it open As the tidal waves crush us down Some are singing the songs of resurrection When the autumn leaves fall in spring One must own and reflect on their past deeds And cast the tale to the wind Our voices will keep echoing in the night Our voices will keep – echoing in the night Our voices will keep – echoing in the night

Succumbed under water Hopes of future drowned in time Futile wishes to the wind It’s time for you to get in line Who will teach our children About the lessons long overdue Neglect by generations And the wisdom of the few Long gone is reason Subdued by the rainy seasons Hey – is there anyone out there Hey – is there anyone that cares How we’ll fare in the loneliness of the cold dark space How we buried our dreams Lost years in the blunder Overwhelmed by the floods Withheld from information Design to keep us in the line Will you stand up and strive Or bury your dreams? Will you recall this time Or be forever forgotten? Hey – is there anyone out there Hey – is there anyone that cares How we’ll fare in the loneliness of the cold dark space How we buried our dreams Bury our dreams Bury our dreams
