1. Finding Requiem
Preacher, preacher, preacher! There’s no use in trying to explain
You left me here alone, now who’s to blame?
I’m drowning, sinking deeper, feeding silence since I’ve reached this hell
For everything I’ve had in life’s wishing well
Cause when the darkness enters you, it clouds your mind
I don’t know what is wrong, or what is right
The structure fails, the cracks are clearer, no light in sight
Can you take me with you?
Wherever the dark has gone, to somewhere that I belong?
Here in the river, I’ve spent so long finding requiem.
Broken, beaten Father, you have my ears, so shall we start?
Are you the reason why it all fell apart? Oh Yeah
Staring mirror mirror, what is it that you think you see?
Whatever left is just a shadow of me
But when the light removes you and all you are is a silhouette dancing
Alone with the reaper, any last regrets?
The structures fail, the shackles are breaking, release from fate
Can you take me with you ?
Wherever the dark has gone, to somewhere that I belong?
Here in the river, I’ve stayed so long finding requiem
Can you take me with you?
To the other side, beyond where the dark has gone?
Can you take me with you ?
Wherever the dark has gone, to somewhere that I belong?
Here in the river, I’ve spent so long trying to find my requiem
Can you take me with you ?
Wherever the dark has gone, to somewhere that I belong?
Here in the river…finding requiem
2. Icarus Syndrome
I welcome you to your new life
Leave everything you know behind
Your mind broken has just been realigned inside
(Now tell me)
Tell me are you empty like me
Surely you'll end up breathing the air I breathe
The only drug you need
(The very last drug you'll ever need)
You took the time to piece me back together
But can you rebuild my life?
Or am I stuck with this forever?
You crossed the line tryin' to redefine human nature
Tried to build it from the inside out
But you go one step to far
And Icarus is slicing down
Is our time out?
Our world is gone in an instance
The consequences of your lies
Plotting your mind so the future's set, the cause of our demise
(So tell me)
So tell me what you do in our defence
Walking hand in hand to the bitter end
Heading straight towards the edge
So walk with me straight towards the end
You took the time to piece me back together
But can you rebuild my life?
Or am I stuck with this forever?
You crossed the line tryin' to redefine human nature
Tried to build it from the inside out
But you go one step to far
And Icarus is slicing down
I close my eyes and hope that things won't change that
the world as we know it will remain the same but
still try to push forward
The technologic advances and innovation
Leading to the end of liberation
You took the time to piece me back together
But can you rebuild my life?
Or am I stuck with this forever?
You crossed the line tryin' to redefine human nature
Tried to build it from the inside out
But you go one step to far
And Icarus his time is out
Our time is out
Our time is out
Our time is out
Our time is out
3. This Is Who We Are
Here we are
At the crossroads of our world
Another fallen but not a faltered spirit
[Success in not final, failure in not final.
It is the courage to continue that counts.
—Winston Churchill]
Here we are
At the crossroads of our world
Another fallen but not a faltered spirit
And our eyes
They tell different stories
But the pain inside
It's all the same
Here we are
Is this what's left of us?
Here we stand broken but still alive
What about the fire?
The fire still burns inside
But what about the future?
From ground zero we'll rebuild
From the ashes we will rise
Piece it all back from inside
For the life that we leave behind
And the world that we built from ground zero
Not for the pain but for the healing sun
For the will that is ours
Remains strong
This is who we are
Still here we are
Standing right in front of you
Holding hands we re-ignite
So what are you to do
Yet still you're trying and break us
But you cannot take what's inside
Spirit that makes us
It makes us who we are
Makes us who we are
This is who we are
For the life that we leave behind
And the world that we built from ground zero
Not for the pain but for the healing sun
For the will that is ours
Remains strong
[Solo]
For years they try to break us
But they cannot take what's inside
'Cause the spirit's the thing that makes us, that makes us fly
[Solo]
For the life that we leave behind
And the world that was built by our heroes (this is who we are)
Not for the pain but for the healing sun (this is who we are)
For the will that is ours
Remains strong
4. The Frontiersman
I dream of a new life
An oath that's to repay
A light for tomorrow
Hope for a better day
I set sail to a new land
A foolish man, they say
As I make my final journey to the frontier far away
The dawn of a new world
Singing ahaha
And my home is here
I walk to my new life in that frontier far away
This place had no memory but cuts of my pain
And one day I wander and saw her by the lake
A thing of beauty looked at me and took my heart away
She walked me to a place beyond the hills
To people there with open arms
The took me in and treated me like their own
Gave me love that I had never known
We sing ahaha
Our times grow in here
Ahaha
And my home is here
We sing ahaha
And don't ever leave her
Ahaha
But they're coming, I fear
We gaze at the moonlight
And tell us around the fire
Drink to the memories that feel so at home
But tomorrow they come to take it all away
I'd be damned if I don't stand in their way
But tomorrow they come to take it all away
I'd be damned if I don't stand in their way
I'd be damned if I don't stand in their way
So we fought to our last breath
As we fell to the ground
Memories flashed before us
Our hearts made the sound
We were always outnumbered
And doomed from the start
It'd be damned if we didn't do as we were posed
Damned if we didn't do white father's pose
Damned if we didn't stand our own ground
I went to the frontier it seemed so long ago
I dreamed of a new life but found my new home
And as we lay here our spirit appears
Destiny carries us away with the leaves
We sing ahaha
The fire's strong in here
Ahaha
But my home is here
And sing ahaha
And I'll never leave her
Ahaha
And now we stand together
Now we stand
5. Closure
Father I have sinned, I have lived a life of wrong
Please tell me where do I begin to state
My heartbeats fading out, it’s lifeless just like me
And time is running out, so let me tell you my story
I stood by history’s leaders, and I planted demon seeders
But I regret the time that I have lost, I must stand ready to pay the cost
Haunted by my choices made, I sent people to their grave
Hollow man I have became, a hollow man I may decay
Is it too late to take it back? Is it too late to repent?
Is what’s done is done at once? Mass despair!
For the first time, I bestow life, so that I may heal just a little bit
For the last time I ask for your forgiveness. so that I can find some peace in my mind
’63 I was Kennedy’s arrow, 911 I was watching in the shadows
’44 I was storming the beaches, infecting heroes with demon leaches
Haunted by the things I’ve done, knowing the battles have been won
Living a life with sorrow, condemned this shallow me to die
Am I too far gone? Is it too late? Is whats done lost on regret?
For the first time, I bestow life, so that I may heal just a little bit
For the last time I ask for your forgiveness. so that I can find some peace in my mind
All the things that I have done, I need closure in this life
All the people I have harmed, I need closure in my life
I can’t live with this, I can’t live with this
I can’t live with this, I can’t live with this
I can’t live with this, I can’t live with this
For the first time, I bestow life, so that I may heal just a little bit
For the first time, I bestow life, so that I may heal just a little bit
For the last time I ask for your forgiveness. so that I can find some peace in my mind
All the things that I have done, some closure in my life
All the people I have harmed, I need closure in this life
I can’t live with this, I can’t live with this
I can’t live with this, I can’t live with this
I can’t live with this, I can’t live with this
I won’t die with this
6. The Passing
So here I am, at the end of my life
I want to look back and recall all those great memories of mine
So take my hand and try not to cry
I want to teach you a lesson I learned from a far gone time
So follow me into my story, walk with me, I’ll take you far
Glory be, the spirit sis stronger than you could ever believe
So there we were right on the front line
I cannot deny we had fear in our eyes, but we felt so alive
And the job fell to us, to make the charge
But if there’s a God, He was watching over us as He made them march
They followed me into the glory, stood by me, my brothers in arms
Tenacity, our spirit was stronger than you could ever believe
And finally, everything became so clear to me, I now understood
All you need to set you free from all that in life is believe
I don’t have much time
So remember my words, and remember my love
Remember to keep that spirit and fire alive inside
Remember my words, remember my life
They followed me into the glory, stood by me, my brothers in arms
Tenacity, our spirit was stronger than you could ever believe
And finally, everything became so clear to me, I now understood
All you need to set you free from all that in life is believe
Don’t follow me (follow me)
Don’t follow me (follow me), yeah-haa-haa
Don’t follow me (follow me)
Don’t follow me
7. Everlasting
I wanted to tell this story long ago, searching on the path I roam,
for answers I may never know
And now it seems like so long ago, they took your heart away from mine
And your memory’s with me all the time
And I walk alone, through the sun, wind, rain, and snow
But I know your spirit stands beside me, like the heart don’t leave you free
Far beyond this world (and I walk alone) I am with you (every distant tear)
But I’ve seen your face ( miles turn into time)
Pain talks to what I left behind, I watched her die before my eyes
Scared, helpless and paralyzed, so I commit to my final journey
Tensions bursting within me, faster than this world I leave
And I walk alone, through the sun, wind, rain, and snow
You love is living through every footstep of my life, and it’s my only guiding light
Far beyond this world (and I walk alone), I am with you (every distant tear)
But I’ve seen your face ( miles turn into time)
Far beyond this world (and I walk alone), I hear you (every distant tear)
You’re calling me (Now I’ve got you, Everlasting)
Roaming, roaming on (I have searched for you),
Roaming, roaming on (for a trace of you)
For my search goes on and on and on
Your path of dust is hell aven, my winding road, where will it end
If I saved your soul and I made things right, would I be with you if I took my life?
And into your soul or somewhere beyond, all I know is that’s where I belong
Far beyond this world (and I walk alone), I am with you (every distant tear)
But I’ve seen your face ( miles turn into time)
Far beyond this world (and I walk alone), I hear you (every distant tear)
You’re calling me (Now I’ve got you, Everlasting)
Roaming, roaming on, roaming, roaming on
Roaming, roaming on, roaming, roaming on
On and on and on
Roaming, roaming on, roaming, roaming on
Roaming, roaming on, roaming, roaming on
Roaming, roaming on
8. The Fire Inside
[Instrumental]
9. Under An Ancient Sun
Little whispers behind closed doors
Speaking of war and the coming of storms
The end again is the prophesies were told,
But there’s one that shall rise as the story unfolds
Following some soldiers reunite as they fight in the night and die in the morning light
But they say that the day will come, when a warrior will rise under an ancient sun
Our salvation, not in heaven, look to the storm and eyes on the sea
This path was written by the people from before us, stood hand in hand in the center of a war
Days passed, no sign of the savior, and now our time is short, the poisonous time gains us
With a feeling that it’s all been said before, well there’s an edge to be born a hero to a sword
Run faraway, you’ll get away, it’s like it’s somewhere deep in pain
Why can’t you face the golden way, but where he goes you can’t say
There’s said to be a man who will push the sun nearer
A warrior will arise, under an ancient sun
Standing on the threshold it comes so unclearer
A legend he was born, under an ancient sun
Are we our fault? Are we our fault? Tell me yes we’re wrong
RISE!
Out from the fire, a red warrior walked through the ancient sign of the Stone God
He knows its best, with the fate it has been set with fear that inside sadness or regret
The heavens’ been alive with a thundering roar, the mare rode us out to the eye of the storm
Sword cleaver, sun healer, salvation, here
For a moment, in the sack, he’s laying in the sun with a smile
He thinks of home while his heart is fading, he will dream for one
So tell your families that your safe, and the ones you love
Spread the word with a hero’s song
To the people far away, further words I’ve cried on this day
Spread the word of he hero’s number, whether he brings the sun, and a legend lives on
Said to be the man who brings our solemn nearer, and a warrior he rose, under and ancient sun
Standing on the threshold it comes so unclearer, a legend was born, under an ancient sun
Said to be the man who brings the sun, standing on the threshold, a legend was born
Under an ancient sun, Under an ancient sun, Under an ancient sun
