Hope for the Dying
Album • 2016
This track is instrumental.
We have but one life left to live just one chance to take barely just one breath to breathe burdened with a heavy load often persuaded by all of our fear to fail tell me does it ever end We were not created for this Wandering without a purpose selfish life without a meaning never ends only repeating So where does it end Do we just bury our dead in the ground And watch the memories degrade Where does it end The sun is setting on our days numbered well before our fate The only tragedy at hand Wasting what chance we get I won’t admit defeat this time Won’t give in to selfish lies I’ll feed the flame that burns inside The flame that burns inside The sun is going down dead are buried 6ft in the ground The only tragedy at hand wasting what little chance we get The sun is setting now No way to fight or flee The light is fading out Is darkness where you’ll be Is darkness where you’ll be Stand beside us, We’ll be the voice of tomorrow Stand, make a difference Our voices heard through all ages

Time, it passes by We are but passengers along for the ride and all the faces change but we all know that the scenes remain the same The sun goes down We blow the dust off our gloves Though years have gone by we find they still fit the same another journey for my brothers and I light up the torches for again we will ride Through all the trends of the ages Those who might tear us down Through all the friends who betrayed us We Still Ride Never surrendering our focus Nothing to slow us down Just when you thought that we were ending We raise our banner high We will carry on through sun and storm through thick and thin regardless of the circumstances we are dealt The flames burn on with torches above our heads We power through this darkened world once again Another journey for my brothers and I Never surrender never lay down and die Through all the trends of the ages Those who might tear us down Through all the friends who betrayed us We Still Ride Bringing the sounds of tomorrow Nothing to slow us down Though many miles are behind us We Still Ride

It stands to reason A mans worth is the sum of all his wealth Possessions he has gathered up Living it up for the moment and never slowing down Lost in the dream building life on a foundation of fame, notoriety without any shame Most never knowing That we were built for so much more I’d write my name in stone standby and watch the world crumble to the ground, crumble to the ground It wouldn’t have any meaning As even stone is ever fleeting Like carving your name in the wood of a ship that’s long been sinking Our life is lost and forgotten at the bottom of the sea Selfish, heartless Constantly searching for our eternity Build it up till it all starts falling down and build it up again Engineers of our own fate We’re not giving it up I am the king of What I want to rule But it’s dragging me down It’s dragging me down Build it up till it all starts falling down and build it up again Engineers of our own fate We’re not giving it up I am the king of What I want to rule But it’s dragging me down Burn it down Tear it down Silver and gold Valued at nothing When we are gone Interchangeable with dust To regard our souls Lacking empathy Will end in…

…Death Finds us All of us Who knows the hour but it’s upon us We can’t escape Our bodies, worthless bags of flesh in waiting Most left just counting down the hours… …Hours wasted Days even I can’t believe the time I’ve spent toiling away I was a slave to all of my own demons Meanwhile my soul was in decay, in decay Oh, the end is near I am not worthy Oh, what have I done My life was wasted Selfish reasons Filling the depths of my mind Ever consuming my thoughts Mountains climbed and conquered only Validated my own self-worth If time allowed I’d spread my name across the earth Redemption seems like a far away fantasy Am I too late, to absolve all my sins As I approach my eternal destiny Will it be light, or darkness I see So here it is my story as it unfolds How it will end soon to be known Chiseled in stone Here lies the man who Didn’t believe His heart could be pure Buried alone In my final resting place Even my thoughts Are fading from form Cast aside As if I were nothing Beneath the Earth Where souls go to burn Oh, the end is near My life was wasted on my selfish reasons

He covers his face as the rain starts pouring down another night alone broke and in the cold He never imagined his life would be this way Crawling through the trenches fighting to live another day She thought their love was ever true the night she let him in he took away her purity and never called again And now her body grows in unfamiliar ways he left her in the trenches she’s counting down the days Crawling through these trenches surrounding with miles ahead no ending in sight Dragging through net of thorns above, below all enduring the trenches of life Draining what little strength is left heavier as you go lessening the load seems impossible No, this doesn’t have to end you you can endure you can survive Tragedies are meant for overcoming We take the lows with the highs

Oh are you lost and broken and beaten down are you alone and weary and seeking rest Have you forgot your purpose for being here and do you seek the refuge your battered body surely needs You chose to face it all Put your back against the wall and in the event of everything breaking you down you let the flames engulf what was left of your soul There is a light we can follow Look up and wander no more For all the stars in the sky Fighting for the chance to outshine Even if all were combined Could never cast the same light All who are weary can find rest All have received the call It is inside of us all Inside of us all Pick up the pieces of your shattered soul and know that you can find rest It’s not too late for all who seek can be absolved of any transgression Sad and broken hearted addicted and sick inside Open up, open your eyes and wander no more Never too far gone to reconcile the past A new path set before you so wander no more

hroughout the ages mankind left stepping stones along the path of the righteous and the road that never leads you home Destiny turns to history then there’s nothing left but the lives we touched and the path we chose to follow How we’re remembered Our legacy It defines us So stand tall Hope of the hopeless strength for the weak look beyond your own desires the clock is winding down It’s fading fast the only chance to leave your mark on this world in the blink of an eye it’s all laid to waste When you’re gone and your memory fades what do you want what do you want to remain Crush your fears Release your doubts Lay all your burdens down For even if just one rises to battle transcends the darkness to guard the hearts of all the earth All reformation starts with one a Legacy can save us all Become a warrior stand tall and true harden your armor let your strength carry you pick up your sword raise it above your head etched in the metal is the path you have set

Pick up your armor You can survive this Don’t run for cover You can withstand Oppose the masses and show your strength We can survive this We can withstand I hear the trumpets sound The sky is closing in The wind carries the clouds Providing darkness And as the light slowly slips away I can feel the earth tremble I can feel it shake I slowly open my eyes - thoughts are grim A thousand warriors - sword in hand Is this the end of me Should I martyr and die Or is it time to change sides Oh how can it be I feel the weight of a blade in my hand The sun peeks through the clouds a blinding reflection Oh I am but one man Surely I cannot prevail What power could this be enough to blind an entire army Slain - where once 1000 warriors stood 1000 bodies now lay Unscathed - I remain standing My only injury the heat from the blade
