ALTURA LYRICS

1. Mercy

I remember the words you said
I could never
Never erase them

More than an impulse
That I have
So much more than
Anger and rage

Being caught in the dream sometimes
Leaves compassion constrained

As the clock slows down
I would wait for this to fall
To the feet of your guilt again

Mercy, falls from your eyes
Giving truth to this
Observance, I've come to realize
Leads to it all

I felt so empty
And grew tired of pretending
Turning angry
As the rage breathes in me

Burn pages burn
Like lessons I've learned
That only lead to bitterness
It's getting hard to remain
Detached from the pain
I can turn no more from this

Water rise above my head
Take me away
Away from this

More than an impulse
That I have
So much more than
Anger and rage

Being caught in the dream sometimes
Leaves compassion constrained

As the clock slows down
I would wait for this to fall
To the feet of your guilt again

Mercy, falls from your eyes
Giving truth to this
Observance, I've come to realize
Leads to it all

2. The Calling

Selectively blind
We draw the line
Between sympathy
And what we choose to believe

Thoughtless again
The burden that we bare
Ignore guilty eyes
All is learned in refrain
I feel there is
something that I must do
In a world whose eye's have grown cold
With no hands bound

I'll make a promise
To wait for the new
Vision that's calling me
Memories in the distance
Brought into view
Voices are calling me

A passionless voice
Lost in the rain
Reflections of out lives
In an emotionless face

A child is born in rage
All carried in vain
Your guilty eyes
Are all that remain

I said that I'd never fall
Into the trance of delusion's rage
Oh father I swear

I'll make a promise
To wait for the new
Visions are calling me
Memories in the distance
Brought into view
Voices are calling me

3. One By One

Waiting for the voices of reason
I can't see but to close the door

Open the new one
And walk towards the edge
Freedom in this one
So few'll understand

Ashes of passion
Once moved us all
A view we all fashion
And follow the same

Lonely's never far away
I remember its face
I vowed to restrain the gray
As I saw past their empty stare

One by one
We'll follow and fade away
One by one
Burned by regret

Waiting for the voices of reason
And I don't feel the need anymore

All I believed in was empty in promise
The shame found in these eyes
I've learned to wear

Lying awake and drowning in fear
It's part of the role
That I've learned to live

One by one
We'll follow and fade away
One by one
Burned by regret

4. The Continuum

[Instrumental]

5. Horizons Fade

Here we stand
Alone and so afraid
The pallid lights
Drift away

I've heard that time will heal the wounds
Still the wounds are all I have
In time, we'll find it only
It only fades away

I'll embrace the cold
The apprehension that holds me

Horizons fade
Into forever
As the memories
Echo your name

In remembrance, secured assurance
Never questioned
Oh, until the opaque eyes
Dimmed and turned
So cold and gray, disillusioned
I am alone

While beaten down, I'll stand
Crying out for the shelter of your smile

Is it all
An emotion to face
Or is it all
Embracing a need

Horizons fade
Into forever
As the memories
Echo your name

Horizon's fade
Into each other
Out of reach
And so far away

6. One Dimension

Step by step and further in
Walking blind in common stride
Like they told you

All along afraid to ask
A doubting mind masked by pride
The shadows hold the truth

When will you see
The words voice the passion

In one dimension
You'll wait
Holding back the fears
Once more in vain
In one dimension
Lost

A choice made in love
Or a choice made in words
On the surface the same
Wear the healing hand
Or wear a healing mind
In a white lie confession
Blue eyes, they will see
The word's aren't the passion

In one dimension
You'll wait
Holding back the fears
Once more in vain
In one dimension
Lost

I lost blind faith when it lost
The tone of sincerity
I felt the voice, I suppressed
In the name of belonging

And you will count the days
By regret, as faith lies bleeding
And you'll watch
As the years turn into a lifetime

In one dimension
You'll wait
Holding back the fears
Once more in vain
In one dimension
Lost

In faith . . .
Or just a name

Life's the living word
Learning, solace is the shelter
Life's the living word
Learning, solace is the shelter

All the while, faces burn
The ones you've known must learn
Learn to feel, learn to ask
It's a part of knowing

In one dimension
You'll wait
Holding back the fears
Once more in vain
Holding the candle alone

7. Alternate Lines

I felt the need this morning
To try this again
As I woke in a haze of
Helplessness

Looking back for a reason
To understand
How desire so inspiring
Drifts away

I've heard that life's a stream of regrets
I understand
I've seen how youth can steadily regress
As the night rolls in

Alternate lines
Bound to forever
Perspectives divide
Into their own lines

Sketching a scene within its fragile frame
A face that looks familiar, once a part of me
Reaching out towards the memories
Out of reach

I've heard that life's a stream of regrets
I understand
I've seen how youth can steadily regress
As the night rolls in

Alternate lines
Bound to forever
Perspectives divide
Into their own lines

8. Alone

I came to watch the water rise
Then saw the passion fall
A child born through these eyes
Must set the stride alone
The scars became our own

Rage incited by rage
Drowning out every choice
Alone

Rage in silence has come to be
Reflections of the anger in me
Emotional identity
A part of what I need to feel

Drifting lifeless, it feeds the trend
These wounds define us, and leave me here
The warmth confided within your hands
Is so enduring, just like despair
Afraid to wonder why
Hopeless vision, I walk alone

Where was I on the day my father died
These lessons get blurred all along
How can I give meaning to my life
When I don't know exactly where it leads

I long for the solace that somehow betrayed us
Left me frustrated and alone
With every empty promise the scars will define us
I closed my eyes again

Rage incited by rage
Drowning out every choice
That remains within this
Hate incited by hate
Drowning out every voice
That remains within this
