BLAZE BAYLEY LYRICS

1. Endure And Survive

[Brewer:]
Shall we begin?

Pembridge demands and expects you to let go
of everything you have lived for
He plans to obliterate any trace of your existence
make you disappear
So you are faced with the fight of your life
It’s a fight that you can’t let them win

By sheer force of will
Get back on your feet
Stand up you're not dead
Endure and survive

Will you die alone on this ship out here in space
or will you find a way to live
Can you defend yourself against the madness
you fear will take over your mind
Will you give in to the thoughts of defeat and despair
that try to overwhelm you

By sheer force of will
Get back on your feet
Stand up you're not dead
Endure and survive

[Pembridge:]
The new world is waiting for the chosen ones.
When the under-mission tasks are complete,
William Black will no longer be required.
He must never touch that new Eden.
In that place my genetically perfect human beings will thrive.
All indigenous threats will be eliminated
and our chosen few will hold dominion over that world.

By sheer force of will
Get back on your feet
Stand up you're not dead
Endure and survive

2. Escape Velocity

At twenty five thousand miles an hour you’re lighting up the sky
Hypersonic breakout from your last and future life
Relativistic calculations distance time and speed,
a conscious and ballistic object,
can you reach escape velocity

I will fly my hands become my wings
I will fly and rise upon the wind
I will fly into the great unknown
I will fly and I will find a place I can call home

Like the spear of Odin aiming at that unknown place
A certainty of purpose makes you think you can escape
Escape the ruthless narcissist you know you will become
Traveling faster than your thoughts,
can you reach escape velocity

I will fly my hands become my wings
I will fly and rise upon the wind
I will fly into the great unknown
I will fly and I will find a place I can call home

Leviticus reimagined and rewritten and renamed
Restored to full its’ potency restored to its’ full rage
Genetic immunity from the weapons in your hands
Weapons for new ritual sacrifice to cleanse a land

I will fly my hands become my wings
I will fly and rise upon the wind
I will fly into the great unknown
I will fly and I will find a place I can call home

At twenty five thousand miles an hour you’re lighting up the sky

3. Blood

Illusions of freedom of hope and redemption
Seduce the vain, the weak
and the well intentioned
Accepting the praise for their own sacrifice
for these seven martyrs sainthood is their right

This is the vile bloody manifestation
of Brewer’s anger of her own creation
Obedient to commands inside the dream
The truth of the under-mission is revealed

Blood. Blood on my hands, the true joy of killing again
Everything that they said justifies everything that I did to them
I have blood

A slow mutilation they watch and they feel
It is unbelievable but it is real
Agony and surprise in equal measure,
hopeless and consumed by this moment of terror

Familiar and comforting in my control,
taking their choices and leaving them cold,
as gasping and bleeding they plead for their life,
the beautiful moment that death fills their eyes

Blood. Blood on my hands, the true joy of killing again
Everything that they said justifies everything that I did to them
I have blood. Blood on my hands
I have absolute power over them
They journey to nothing, there is no light and no god that can ever comfort them
I have blood

[Pembridge:]
Tell me about the dark side of black.

[Laika:]
His wife killed their daughter, then killed herself, while Black was on a covert operation.
Then he left special forces and became a mercenary.
During the West Flanders insurrection,
he became known as the butcher of Wevelgem.
He killed babies and women and murdered whole families.
He enjoyed his work.
Then he disappeared. I found him but he thinks he found us.
He was selected before he applied.
I believe he will easily accomplish the under-mission.

[Pembridge:]
William Black.
Captain William Christopher Black.
It is time for the dream

Blood. Blood on my hands, the true joy of killing again
Everything that they said justifies everything that I did to them
I have blood. Blood on my hands
I have absolute power over them
They journey to nothing there is no light and no god can ever comfort them.
I have blood

4. Eating Lies

They will soon try to make me become nothing
Torn up into small pieces and torn again
and it was such a simple deception
that it made me start eating all of their lies

With a casual non-truth I believed in
they convinced me that all of my dreams were lies
Echoes of a past life that they told me
was inspired by the greed of a lonely child

They will try to take my life
I will make them eat their lies

Disgraceful, disgraced and unblemished why
Selective, blacked out memories excuse you
Every time repeating insults like a child
that will never see the world through adult eyes.

You were looking down on me with mother’s pride
No decency or conscience could trouble you
You'll be choking and then you will see that
I am feeding you all of your darkest lies

They will try to take my life
I will make them eat their lies
A thousand years I have survived
My existence is denied

5. Destroyer

[Pembridge:]
Cleanse the ship with fire.
It must be purified before the planet is reached

I wake up and for a moment I forget
where I am and what I've done and my regrets
and the wretched liars’ promises they made
Until now I never thought that I would ever see the end

Now comes the destroyer

Now the horrors in my visions all make sense
The dreadful things I've done, the seven saints are dead
My devotion now brings me unjust reward
My execution, my extinction, could this really be the end

Now comes the destroyer
Destroyer of all that lives
Humanity broken
Destruction of all that is

Solar storms and super nova I've survived
I’ve crossed a galaxy and almost lost my mind
And here I am confronted with the vicious truth
until now I thought that they could never win is this end

6. Dawn Of The Dead Son

[Brewer:]
Don’t let go. I’m close. Find me.
Hold on, William. I’m here. Can you hear me.
I’m close. You are not dead yet.
This is real. This is true. Find the Landauer Limit
And you will find your freedom. And you will find me.
Find me. Don’t let go. Don’t let go. Don’t let go.

Murdered and unremembered
A broken machine of death
Cast out by those who made you
For their own wickedness
In this great universe
There’s more than can they know
Or dream of or even understand

Now is the dawn of the dead son,
As the darkness falls you will go on

They put you on your knees
They couldn’t make you beg
You chose to fight or die
Never yield to them
So you were burned alive
Then you were left for dead
Out there in the cold space alone

Now is the dawn of the dead son
As the darkness falls you will go on
You face the storm, you face the dark
You face your own oblivion

Now is the dawn of the dead son,
As the darkness falls you will shine on

7. Remember

[Brewer:]
Remember, Remember me, Remember us

Was it all by chance, coincidence, accidents
Or was there something guiding me, guiding us?
Sharing point in space and time,
Our light became so strong
That we were shining
Asteroids and space junk and comets are all
Things alone,
Always moving or falling to earth
Accepting nothing without evidence
Or proof except we knew
We were shining

I feel broken inside
When I can’t see the light,
When I’m torn apart
When my feeling take over again

I remember someone
And a time when things were so simple
And so strong
We just didn’t care
Because we were laughing out loud

Protect yourself from a cynical world
You told me just ignore
All the thing I don’t have
Learn to be here, right now in this moment with you
And soon we would be shining

Never be afraid to let myself laugh
And to dance, everything is crazy in this world
And in this madness we won’t be alone,
We will find each other
‘Cause we are shining

I feel broken inside
When I can’t see the light,
When I’m torn apart
When my feeling take over again

I remember someone
And a time when things were so simple
And so strong
We just didn’t care
Because we were laughing out loud

I feel broken inside
When I can’t see the light,
When I’m torn apart
When my feeling take over again
I remember someone

8. Fight Back

The vacuum of space radiation and cold
Should have killed you but you just won’t let go
Determined to live to take back your life,
The darkest truths has been revealed and denied

Fight back, fight back
It’s time to attack
They thought you were beaten, that they broke you back
They thought it was over that you would lay down
But they were wrong now you’re ready to fight back

A suffering victim that will not resist
Drowning in self-pity, that is what they think
But you won’t accept your circumstance
Now you refuse to be annihilated

Fight back, fight back
It’s time to attack
They thought you were beaten, that they broke you back
They thought it was over that you would lay down
But they were wrong now you’re ready to fight back

9. The World Is Turning The Wrong Way

The beauty of the pain of this connection comes again
To remind me I am losing my telepathy
Thought for thought and wordless knowing,
Instantaneous and growing
The deep empathic state that we once shared
The bitter truth I’m forced to swallow
As Hamlet’s phantom to you I must appear

The world is turning wrong way,
I feel this gravity
Pulling you away from me
The world is turning wrong way,
Now through dead eyes I see
It’s turning you away from me

They will use a blind belief to vindicate obscenity
To justify each misery that you now must endure
Question everything that you see,
Promise they give you so freely
Will all hide a much darker truth within
Now the importance of each moment
Is revealed and it’s my torment
Time will slow down but will never stop for us

The world is turning wrong way,
I feel this gravity
Pulling you away from me
The world is turning wrong way,
Now through dead eyes I see
It’s turning you away from me

I was eighteen days away
I was eighteen days away
From a moment that was already lost
I just did not know

I was eighteen days away
I was eighteen days away
If I could go back and change one thing
Then I would be there now

You were in my hands
You were in my arms
Arms that were not strong enough to hold on
I didn’t understand
The consequences of
The smallest choices
I always believed I would have second chance

The world is turning wrong way,
I feel this gravity
Pulling you away from me
The world is turning wrong way,
Now through dead eyes I see
It’s turning you away from me

10. Together We Can Move The Sun

You said is what it is
We are where we are
We cannot unsay those words that were spoken
So unselfishly
Don’t leave like this, don’t leave at all
I wanted to tell you once more
You made me feel I am worth something
You made it easy to believe anything is possible
And together we could move the sun
Together we could move the sun

No thought of the future ahead
We may or may not see
An inch from disaster, pretending it was a mile
Don’t leave like this, don’t leave at all
I wanted to tell you once more
You made me feel I am worth something
You made it easy to believe anything is possible
And together we could move the sun
Together we could move the sun

You said just be here right now
It’s all that we can have
No future and no past, let go
Of all your hopes and memories
Let your conscious mind be free
To sense where you’re standing now
It’s the only way for us
To stay connected through all this

You made me feel I am worth something
You made it easy to believe anything is possible
All of this is real
And together we could move the sun

Looking at you, I see myself now
Someone who can do anything better than before
Ready to believe
That together we could move the sun
Together we could move the sun

Did we live a lie? Did you live it too?
Have I lived the lie? Have you lived it too?
Did we live a lie? Did you live it too?
Was it all a lie?

I said things that I hoped would become true
I said things that I hoped would change our world
All the things that I said that have hurt you
All the thing that I said born of my fear

Constructing my own bitter truth
A self-fulfilling prophecy
All those lies were true
When I whispered them to you
And even with the best intentions,
Looking back, they look like lies

And even with the best intentions.
Looking back, they look like lies
And however much I meant to them,
Looking back, they look like lies
All those lies were true
When I whispered them to you
All those lies were true
When I whispered them to you
All those lies were true

[Pembridge:]
You seem to have become quite close to the subject.
[Brewer:]
You may have that impression because the amount of time
I have spent with the subject, to prepare him for procedure
[Pembridge:]
You understand what has to happen?
[Brewer:]
Yes, I understand. It’s a disappointing end. Are you sure it’s necessary?
[Pembridge:]
Let me be clear. He must be eliminated.
Every atom, every particle, every shred of DNA must be gone.
Before the ship goes into orbit around the new world,
William Black must die
