Where Gods Fear to Speak

Halt, do not return for your life Obey, without question Endure a lifetime of torment and strife Beware the righteous hand We’re falling all around ourselves We’re chasing down redemption in vain I’m choking now, I’ve tapered out I’m tripping up, collapsing We stumble through chaos and strife In search of solace, turbulent skies I'm gasping for air, my strength is spent My eyes wide open Atone Suffer Relinquish Endure Suffer Anguish Withstand Persevere Amidst the shadows, we conceal ourselves in darkness our secrets they reveal with every lie, we kneel down Burnt to ashes Burnt to ashes Burnt to ashes Fall down Burnt to ashes Burnt to ashes Burnt to ashes Burnt alive We’re falling all around ourselves We’re chasing down redemption in vain I’m choking now, I’ve tapered out I’m tripping up, collapsing We stumble through chaos and strife In search of solace, turbulent skies I'm gasping for air, my strength is spent My eyes wide open Stand up We'll rise above stormy seas Emerging strong, we will be free Stand strong Through dark-ness, we'll find our way Triumphantly, a brand-new day Halt, do not return for your life Obey, without question Endure a lifetime of torment and strife The righteous hand condemns Halt, don't implore for a way out Conform, without question or doubt Endure a lifetime of sorrow's cruel test Beware the righteous hand Stand with me We'll rise above stormy seas Emerging so strong, we, we will be free Unite with me Through dark-ness, we'll find our way Triumphantly, stand in, a brand-new day Stand up We'll rise above stormy seas Emerging strong, we will be free Stand strong Through dark-ness, we'll find our way Triumphantly, a brand-new day

I walked this lonely road shadows danced by my side I heard the whispers on the wind and felt the darkness move inside But with every battle waged and every tear that I've shed A hard lesson was learned another story that couldn't go unread So, if you're crawling through hell Where those fires burn bright Make sure to grasp the flames And fight to bring back the light Traveling through the abyss lost in its endless expanse Seeking some semblance of meaning trying to find that second chance Not every lesson uplifts and not every truth is profound Sometimes, the answer’s in the silence in the absence of sound So, if you're crawling through hell Where those fires burn bright Make sure to grasp the flames And fight to bring back the light The fires may sear the journey might scar But the spirit, unbroken can travel so far With the past as your guide brightening the gray sky From the shroud of the night run, run towards the day As the darkness fades and dawn takes its stand Remember there is strength in the power to withstand As the darkness fades and dawn takes its stand Remember there is strength in the power to withstand Emerging from the depths of an endless night Ensure you depart the darkness clutching the light Your journey, my friend is both rugged and steep But in valleys of sorrow That's where the lessons run deep Winds of change, they seldom rest Carrying whispers, putting your will to the test Oh,oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Within the labyrinth, there’s light Though the path may waver, there’s light Within the labyrinth, there’s light Though the path may waver, there’s light Within the labyrinth, there’s light Though the path may waver, there’s light Within the labyrinth, there’s light Though the path may waver, there’s light Within the labyrinth

All I ever wanted to be was somebody, somebody’s something All I ever wanted to be was somebody, somebody’s dream Each door has led to nothing Each hall as endless as before The house stands strong But there’s no room No room for me or anyone All I ever wanted to be was somebody, somebody’s something All I ever wanted to be was somebody, somebody’s dream At the bottom of a hole with no way out A lonely heart in a lonely world So many people and so many lights Dim to the core With nothing left inside I see darkness all around you I feel darkness all around me In a place where I can’t find you Left searching, left wanting And I feel like so many times before The grasping of hope and nothing more An empty hand, a barren heart, a place where I A place where I can only dream A dream that’s just a dream A dream that’s just a dream A dream that’s just a dream and nothing more A dream that’s just a dream A dream that’s just a dream A dream that’s just a dream and nothing more And I feel like so many times before The grasping of hope and nothing more An empty hand, a barren heart, a place where I A place where I can only dream And I feel like so many times before The grasping of hope and nothing more An empty hand, a barren heart, a place where I A place where I can only dream

I return to the dust I’ve known The circle, the sky, the ground that I call home Destroyer of worlds, beseecher of hope That cold and bitter taste The wall in front of you The stone with all of your hopes You stare and you stare It’s still empty you’ve clawed and you’ve clawed No matter how large the dream or deep the want A given dream, a glimpse of hope, calling The flowing scars of life and loathing I’ve given myself years, and years of wanting And reaped the earth of all it’s hope That cold and bitter taste The stone with all your hopes No matter how long you stare and stare The given dream was lost right there It’s still empty We’re still empty Who knows the secrets of the deep? The many places the gods fear to speak There’ll be no more talk of hell I return to the dust I’ve known The circle, the sky, the ground I call home Destroyer of worlds, beseecher of hope That cold and bitter taste The wall in front of you The stone with all of your hopes You stare and you stare It’s still empty you’ve clawed and you’ve clawed No matter how large the dream or deep the want A given dream A glimpse of hope calling The flowing scars of life and loathing

We have to wonder what dwells beyond the light When looking forward Is the same as looking back We know we can’t return We only just react Expressionless I wonder this earth Crying out and breaking down Do you know what it takes? If you want me, come and find me, it’s time I’ll bury all my dreams Absolve all my sins Remove this guilt within And guide my hand We dream alone And gone are the days Of childish repose Of childish innocence Wanna try me, come and find me, this time We have to wonder what dwells beyond the light Time is the hammer the ticking clock my heart This veil a facade A fragile in-between This forgotten place I called home Now never seen No more days left to lament The longing for this place I called home The longer I wait the further away it becomes The way back is now long, long gone Expressionless, I wonder this earth If you want me come and find me it’s time If you want me come and find me

I’ve called out in anguish when the names were not mine were nothing When they were just names I’ve read and I’ve heard and I’ve known them forever When the skies open up And I see only the sun and the moon and when hope was my guide and I had nothing else and no one else coming An engine of obliteration My eyes fixed to the wall I’ve called you by every name I’ve asked for you at every fall Hands together Holding nothing A lustful heart Not knowing where my prayers go Chasing our dreams Chasing the days And we’re free and we’re frolicking Dancing hoping Our faith is flowing We’re blessed again Our hearts beckon to the call And we have nothing at all to fear, To fear When we’re together There’s nothing stronger we could fly away Loyal hands clasped These reverent walls splashed With our blood again Lies Hands together holding nothing A lustful heart Not knowing where my prayers go An engine of obliteration My eyes fixed to, fixed to the wall I’ve called, I’ve called for you by every name Asked for you at every fall I pretend the beads are hands Hands together, holding nothing A lustful grasp, a mournful heart I still don’t know you’re name I’ve called out every name now I’ve cried out at every fall (Ahhh) I’ve called you out by every name now I’ve asked at every fall An engine of obliteration My eyes fixed to the wall I’ve called you out by every name now I’ve asked at every fall An engine of obliteration My eyes fixed to the wall

Run your hardest Chase away the sun Never let it set on On what you, and what you’ve done Long are the days when Expectation leads us When blood determines your path Who you are, what you want, where you’re going It’s not over, not yet Fight for your place I know my name and what it means And what I have to say I’ll never stop fighting I’ll never back down, no I know my name and what it means And what I have to say Say I know it can be hard How every other tree touches the sky How the other branches nourish Like they know why they were designed I know because I fell from one Striving, reaching, aiming at the night In view of all the stars But always told I could never Shine Life Left in the night Striving to shine But never held in kind Life gave a direction But never a goal I don’t despise Shaking hands and a trembling heart I fight all through the night Told to always be reposed Told to always be loyal Strive to shine Fight for your place I know my name and what it means to me I’ll never stop fighting And I’ll never back down I know it can be hard How every other tree touches the sky How every other branch nurtures You fell from one too You just never knew whose We run our hardest Chase away the sun Never let it set on On what you and what you’ve done Gone are the days when Expectation leads us When blood determines our path Who we are, what we want, where we’re going I’ll run my hardest I chase the sun away I’ll never give in I’m trying, I’m trying The end will come now We’ll fight until the day I wonder what time has in store I wonder, wonder, wonder I’ll never give in, I’m trying, I’m trying
