ASHES OF MANY LYRICS

1. Prepare For The Storm

I WON’T TAKE THIS NO MORE.
VILLAINS APPEARED WITH HARROWING SCREAMING,
BARING THE FLAG OF CORRUPTION.
WE COULD NOT FEAR COLORS OF SHAME. THEY’RE ONLY MAKING ME STRONGER.
I WAS AROUND
WHEN THE STORM DESTROYED OUR SHELTER.
I WAS ABLE TO HIDE,
I WAS ABLE TO GET AWAY.
COLORS OF SHAME.
THEY’RE ONLY MAKING ME STRONGER.
NOW PREPARE FOR THE STORM.
I’LL PREPARE. WARN THOSE THAT CARE.
I’M HERE FOR A REASON,
I WAS LEFT TO FIND
WORDS THAT KEPT ME DOWN.
I’LL PREPARE FOR THE STORM.
COLORS OF SHAME.
THEY’RE ONLY MAKING ME STRONGER

2. Forgive & Replace

MY CONFESSION, HEAR ME OUT.
I’M SPEAKING THE HONEST TRUTH.
NO UNDERLYING REASONS.
THE SOURCE OF THIS BEHAVIOUR,
ROOTED DEEP INSIDE.
BLINDED BY AGGRESSION.
BREAKING BOUNDARIES,
DENYING ALL CONSEQUENCES.
NO UNDERLYING REASONS,
THE SOURCE OF THIS BEHAVIOUR
KNOWING WE ARE BLESSED BY SIN.
MY PROMISE, MY BURDEN.
YOUR PROBLEMS, YOUR MISTAKES.
DENYING NEVER BROUGHT US FAR,
THE TRUTH WILL LEAD A WAY.
THESE PROBLEMS WILL FADE.
REMIND THE MISTAKES,
FORGIVE AND REPLACE.
AGING DOES NOT MEAN YOU’LL CHANGE.
SWALLOW YOUR WORDS OF CONVICTION.
YOU’RE STILL THE SAME.
SWALLOW YOUR WORDS OF CONVICTION.
YOU’RE STILL INSANE.
SWALLOW YOUR WORDS OF CONVICTION.
YOU’RE STILL THE FUCKING SAME.

3. Prowler

ALL THE ATTEMPTS TO RECLAIM MY HEART FAIL THROUGH FALSE DESIRE.
SHE APPEARED TO SEE IT LIKE A BURDEN.
SHE DOESN’T WANT TO CARRY.
ONE ROAD WITHOUT DIRECTION,
NO ESCAPE WITHOUT CONFRONTATION,
NO HOPE, NO SOLUTION.
THESE THOUGHTS WILL KEEP ON RETURNING. LOOKING FOR REASONS TO INTERFERE,
A REASON TO STAY IN SIGHT.
THESE FEELINGS ARE LED BY NOTHING.
I KNOW THIS ISN’T RIGHT,
FOR BOTH SIDES.
WHY I AM AFRAID?
I WILL KEEP CONFRONTING
THIS FAMILIAR PLACE.
I AM AFRAID AND THIS WILL CONFRONT YOU, BUT IT DOESN’T CHANGE,
IT NEVER SEEMS TO CHANGE.
INSTEAD, IT MAKES ME COME TO LIFE.
WHEN YOU’RE LOST,
WHEN YOU’RE TROUBLED,
I WILL COME TO LIFE.
BUT THESE ARE NOT YOUR PROBLEMS
AND YOU ARE NOT THE ONE TO BLAME.
WITH ALL I HAVE I TRIED TO REACH YOU,
STILL YOU DON’T SEEM TO NOTICE,
ANYWAY.
EVERY TIME YOU SEE THE FLARES REACH HIGH,
I WILL COME TO LIFE.
WHEN YOU’RE LOST,
WHEN YOU’RE TROUBLED,
I WILL COME TO LIFE.

4. Faceless

LACKING THE SENSE OF SIGHT,
LIKE IN THE ESSENCE OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
SOMEHOW WE FAILED TO SEE,
HOW COULD I ACT SO BLIND?
RAISE YOUR HAND, RAISE THE QUESTION.
HOW COULD YOU ACT SO BLIND?
WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME TO DROWN,
IN THIS DESERT? TRAITOR.
I WAS HERE TO PURSUE A SOLUTION.
I WAS HERE FROM THE START, TRAITOR.
YOU WILL BE FOLLOWED,
WE WILL RETURN.
THE WAR HAS BEGUN.
WE CALL THIS WORTH FIGHTING,
WE CALL THIS DESTINY.
WITH THEIR ARGUMENTS IN MIND,
WITH THEIR WEAPONS
CONCEALED BENEATH THE SAND.
WE’LL GIVE UP EVERYTHING TO FIND
THE ANSWERS.
WE DON’T UNDERSTAND.
FORCED INTO WAR.
I WAS HERE TO PURSUE A SOLUTION.
I WAS HERE FROM THE START, TRAITOR.
YOU WILL BE FOLLOWED,
WE WILL RETURN.
THE WAR HAS BEGUN.
WE CALL THIS WORTH FIGHTING.
WE CALL THIS DESTINY.
WITH THEIR ARGUMENTS IN MIND,
WITH THEIR WEAPONS
CONCEALED BENEATH THE SAND.
WE’LL GIVE UP EVERYTHING TO FIND
THE ANSWERS.
WE DON’T UNDERSTAND.

5. Rise Up

MY ADVICE.
DON’T LEAVE YOUR WINDOWS OPEN TONIGHT.
THE MORE YOU TALK,
THE FASTER THEY WILL FIND OUT YOU LIED.
RISE UP.
CLOSE YOUR EYES.
THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO SEE.
IT’S NOTHING BUT SCOURGED LAND
BELOW YOUR FEET.
MY ADVICE.
DON’T LEAVE YOUR WINDOWS OPEN TONIGHT.
THEY WERE SEARCHING FOR A WHILE.
I WAS JUST THE RETAINER,
I DIDN’T MAKE IT BACK IN TIME.
I WAITED FOR THE SUN TO RISE.
WHAT HAVE I BECOME?
WHAT HAVE I DONE?
WE SHOULD RISE UP
AND RETURN FROM THE ASHES.
BECAUSE SINCE YOU FAILED
WE WERE LEFT WITH THE SCARS.
RISE UP,
LET’S RETURN FROM THE ASHES.
YOU FAILED,
I WAS LEFT WITH THE SCARS.
I WAS JUST THE RETAINER.
I DIDN’T MAKE IT BACK IN TIME.
I WAITED FOR THE SUN TO RISE.

6. Tides

I WILL RETURN.
THERE’S SOMETHING LEFT INSIDE.
THE WAVES WILL GUIDE US
THROUGH THE TEMPEST,
THROUGH THE HEAVY RAIN.
ALL THIS TIME,
YOU REALLY THOUGHT YOU COULD
SCREW ME OVER?
ALL THIS TIME,
YOU REALLY THOUGHT YOU COULD
BRING ME TO MY KNEES?
WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO STOP ME?
WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO TURN ME AROUND?
AND NOW I FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.
AND NOW I FEEL BETRAYED.
THE TIDES ARE TURNING AND
THE WATER IS CLOSING IN.
I WILL BE COMING BACK,
GUIDED BY THE WAVES.
I WILL BE COMING BACK.
THE TIDES HAVE TURNED.
I WILL RETURN.
WHAT WOULD IT TAKE
TO CHANGE MY MIND?
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH.
I WILL RETURN.
THESE WAVES ARE OUR OPPONENTS.
I WILL RETURN.
THESE ANCHORS BRING US SOLACE.
I WILL RETURN.
THERE’S SOMETHING LEFT INSIDE.
THE STARS WILL GUIDE US
TROUGH THE TEMPEST,
TROUGH THE HEAVY RAIN.

7. Surrender At 20

A FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER
IN A WAR THAT NEVER STOPS.
EACH VICTORY REMINDS US
OF THE BATTLES THAT WE’VE LOST.
OUR HANDS BEGIN TO BLISTER,
OUR EYES ARE GETTING TIRED.
WE’RE PUSHING FORWARD
WITH THE ENEMY NEXUS IN SIGHT.
INSTEAD OF TURNING AROUND,
INSTEAD OF GIVING IN.
THIS WAR IS FAR FROM OVER,
THIS WAR IS YET TO BEGIN.
PUSH THEM BACK TO THEIR TOWERS.
WE WON’T SURRENDER.
TO NO ONE.
INSTEAD OF WASTING MY TIME
I REFUSE TO GIVE IN.
I’M TAKING MY PLACE BACK IN LINE.
INSTEAD OF TURNING AROUND,
INSTEAD OF GIVING IN.
THIS WAR IS FAR FROM OVER,
THIS WAR IS YET TO BEGIN.
PUSH THEM BACK TOWARDS THEIR TOWERS.
WE WON’T SURRENDER.
TO NO ONE.
INSTEAD OF WASTING MY TIME
I REFUSE TO GIVE IN.
I’M TAKING MY PLACE BACK IN LINE.
FOR I HAVE BEEN WASTING MY TIME.
IT SEEMS LIKE MY TIME IS NEAR.
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
FOR I HAVE BEEN WASTING.
IT SEEMS LIKE MY TIME IS NEAR.

8. Labyrinth

LEAD ME TOWARDS THE EXIT
‘CAUSE I CAN’T STAND ANOTHER DAY.
JUST FAILURE AFTER FAILURE.
THESE WALLS DON’T SEEM TO FADE AWAY.
STILL EVERY DAY I’M TRYING
BUT EVERYTHING JUST STAYS THE SAME.
I CAN’T STOP MOVING FORWARD.
I CAN’T STOP LIVING YESTERDAY.
AS LONG AS I ACCEPT
THE RAVAGE YOU CAUSED.
AS LONG AS I DISGUISE MYSELF
BEHIND MY SELF-REGARD.
NO LONGER POSSESSED OR RETAINED.
NO LONGER LOST IN THE LABYRINTH
OF YOUR MISTAKES.
ENOUGH.
I MUST CONFRONT THIS DISEASE.
VOICES, THE WORDS I FEARED.
THEY’LL BE ERASED.
THEY WON’T REMAIN.
NO LONGER BOUND BY MISTAKES.
IT’S TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE.
I WILL REMAIN.

9. No Bright Lights

YOU’VE LOST YOUR MIND
THAT TIME YOU LEFT ME DROWNING THERE.
ALL THOSE MOMENTS PASSING ME BY.
I’VE LOST MY FAITH IN YOU TODAY.
YOU DON’T DESERVE TO BE FOLLOWED.
YOUR WAYS, THE GAMES YOU PLAY BRING US
DOWN.
I WON’T FALL FOR YOUR TRICKS.
YOU’RE THE CORRUPTION.
NO, I WON’T FALL FOR YOUR SMILE.
I WON’T FORGET.
I FEEL YOUR PRESENCE,
A HELPING HAND.
I’M ALMOST CERTAIN
YOU CAME BACK FOR ME.
A SECOND CHANCE.
YOUR WARMTH SURROUNDED ME,
EMBRACING ME WITH STRENGTH.
WITHOUT HESITATION
I GRABBED HER HAND.
SHE SMILED
WELCOME TO THE END.
THEY DRAG ME DOWN
WAY UNDER TO THE BOTTOM
WHERE EVERYTHING TURNED BLACK.
NO BRIGHT LIGHTS TO FOLLOW.
NO TURNING BACK.
BUT I WON’T MAKE
THE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN.
LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I MEAN.
LET ME CLIMB BACK TO THE SURFACE.
I WON’T MAKE
THE SAME MISTAKES.
LET ME CLIMB BACK
TO THE SURFACE.

10. Wide Awake

WHEN THE TRUTH CAME OUT
ALL THE ANSWERS LEFT ME WIDE AWAKE.
THE WORDS YOU SAID
WILL NOT BE WRITTEN DOWN.
I ACCEPT YOUR CHOICES
STILL THE REASON LEAVES ME WIDE AWAKE.
WHY DID YOU WAIT?
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
A CLOSED NOVEL
AND I’M A COWARD AVOIDING THE FIGHT.
BUT PRESENTLY MY WILL GREW STRONGER.
I’VE FOUND A WAY TO SPEAK MY MIND.
WITH TIME THE CLOUDS GET DARKER,
ALL THESE THOUGHTS ARE IN MY WAY.
I KEEP TRYING TO TAKE IT BACK.
IN YOUR EYES IT’S TOO LATE.
THERE’S SO MUCH I NEED TO TELL YOU,
THERE’S SO MUCH YOU NEED TO KNOW.
THERE’S A REASON FOR MY ABSENCE.
I CAN NOT SEEM TO LET GO.
WHY AM I EVEN TRYING?
LET ME BE YOUR ANCHOR.
LEAVE THE REST TO ME.

11. Seasons Never Change

I HAVE THE ANSWER
TO YOUR QUERY OF WHAT’S MORE.
I’VE BEEN TROUGH THIS
ONCE BEFORE.
DO YOU DARE TO QUESTION
THE DIVISIONS OF THE YEAR?
WHAT WOULD YOU TRY TO CHANGE
WHEN YOU KNOW
THE DECISION IS YET TO BE MADE?
THESE SEASONS NEVER CHANGE.
FIGHT YOUR FEELINGS
BUT DON’T LET HABITS PROVE YOU WRONG.
YOU’VE BEEN DOWN THERE
FOR FAR TOO LONG.
JUST LIKE YESTERDAY
I’M STILL WAITING FOR TOMORROW,
FOR THE DAY THAT PROVES ME WRONG.
ALTHOUGH TIMES HAVE CHANGED
I’M STILL TRYING
TO REWRITE THE PATH
JUST LIKE YESTERDAY I WAIT
FOR DECISIONS TO BE MADE.
THESE SEASONS NEVER CHANGE.
CHANGE, COME TO ME.
DON’T LET LIARS PROVE YOU WRONG.
YOU’VE BEEN TROUGH HERE
FOR FAR TOO LONG.
CHANGE, COME TO ME.
DON’T LET LIARS PROVE YOU WRONG.
YOU’VE BEEN DOWN HERE
FOR FAR TOO LONG.
THESE SEASONS NEVER CHANGE.

12. The Last To Know

THIS IS MY LAST DECLARATION.
EVERY SECOND I HOPE
FOR THIS MOMENT TO PASS.
THE LAST COMPLICATION
IS FOR ME TO DECIDE
WHAT TO DO NEXT.
THEY WON’T BE FOLLOWING YOU ANYMORE.
I WILL BE ON MY WAY BACK HOME.
THE LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE
WILL NOTICE YOUR SIGN.
BUT THE WOUNDS THAT DEFINE YOU,
THEY WILL BE OPENED ONCE AGAIN.
THE LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE
WILL NOTICE YOUR SCARS,
AND THE EYES THAT REMIND YOU,
THEY WILL BE HAUNTING YOU ONCE AGAIN.
THIS IS MY LAST DECLARATION.
EVERY SECOND I HOPE
FOR THIS MOMENT TO PASS.
THE LAST COMPLICATION
IS FOR YOU TO DECIDE
WHERE TO GO NEXT.
I WON’T BE FOLLOWING YOU ANYMORE.
I WILL BE ON MY WAY BACK HOME.
YOU’LL BE THE LAST TO KNOW.
FORGET THE ONE THAT TRIED TO
OPEN THE WOUNDS TO REMIND YOU.
YOU’LL BE THE LAST TO KNOW.
