DIVINE ASCENSION LYRICS

1. Dawn Brings No Mercy

2. Stronger

You used to reach for my hand
And I would follow
Follow you into the fire
Lose sight of tomorrow

How can I wash my hands clean
Of this disgrace
Somehow I lost sight of me
In your embrace

Awake me from the dark
My soul will bear the mark
Needless to say I was ill-advised
I was hypnotized
In your dangerous eyes
I was so damn blind
Now I choose to fight
If there is a chance
I will take it
I can make it
'Cause I'm stronger, wiser in every way
Stronger, braver than yesterday
Reaching higher
Now I know there's no limit

I open my arms to the world
'Cause I'm stronger

I feel the danger in your eyes
Keep them away
Alive in the new light of mirth
Now I'm awake

Awoken from the dark
I'll always bare the the mark
Needless to say I was ill-advised
I was hypnotized
In your dangerous eyes
I was so damn blind
Now I choose to fight
If there is a chance
I will take it
I can make it
'Cause I'm stronger, wiser in every way
Stronger, braver than yesterday
Reaching higher
Now I know there's no limit

I open my arms to the world
'Cause I'm stronger
I'm stronger

I was ill-advised
I was hypnotized
In your dangerous eyes
I was so damn blind
Now I choose to fight
If there is a chance
I will take it

'Cause I'm stronger, wiser in every way
Stronger, braver than yesterday
Reaching higher
Now I know there's no limit

I open my arms to the world
'Cause I'm stronger
Stronger

3. Liberator

Whoa... when tension takes its toll
Defeating us again
There is no reason
Whoa... when tension takes its toll
Defeating us again
There is no reason


So... set aside your pride and deep desires
And you will be the hero in our eyes

The one that walked away
To seize the day
Only to face apprehension
Live with no regret
Never to forget
You'll always be the liberator

And you... you'll feel no shame
We'll meet again
For different reasons
And oh... when you look back now I hope you see
You paved the way for harmony

If you need a second, a moment to reflect
And inch to give, nothing more, never to forget

4. My Contender Lies

Face to face do we contend
Cuts to deep to mend
What lies around the bend

In search for answers we have found
We're safe on foreign ground
Far from immune
Too much too soon

We've had our differences
This much is true
But I will risk everything
I will fight for you

One step beyond
One chance to rise above it all
Where I belong
A compromise
My contender lies

Face to face and strong to head
With skin to thick to shred
But there's harder times ahead
Yet we've come to find a place
Where patience shows her face
And time apart helps mend my heart

Do we know better?
Can we find truth?
I will risk everything
I will fight for you

One step beyond
One chance to rise above it all
Where I belong
A compromise
My contender lies

Once we are learned
Twice we are glutton
Twice we are solvent
Whoa... whoa
And when my red sky turns to grey
The worst has shaken
Whoa
I will fight for you

One step beyond
One chance to rise above it all
Where I belong
A compromise
My contender lies

5. Sorrow's Sacrifice

6. Crystal Tears

You are some kind of mystery
And I need to strip your disguise
You heighten my senses
When you move with my stride
How long will you tempt me?
You're something I can't deny
I died when I looked in your eyes

Once so precious now is broken
Truth has been denied
Oh, your touch is just a token
Crystal tears I cry

Crystal tears I cry
Through lonely nights
For the sake of little gain
Will you justify
The pain I feel inside?
Just enough to wash away

Oh, you're looking for someone
It's written all over your face
I just want a piece of
Your hunger you taste
Its a fatal attraction
And it's something I can't deny
But I died when I looked in your
Eyes...

Once so precious now is broken
Truth has been denied
Oh your touch is just the token
Crystal tears I cry

Crystal tears I cry
Through the lonely nights
For the sake of little gain
Will you justify
The pain I feel inside?
Just enough to wash away

Oh, it feels like fate has deceived me
I'm a casualty and nothing more
You absorb all my energy
With crystal clarity at my core

Once so precious now is broken
Truth has been denied
Oh your touch is just the token
Crystal tears I cry

Crystal tears I cry
Through the lonely nights
For the sake of little gain
Will you justify
The pain I feel inside?
Just enough to wash away

7. Machine

Retrospective of an age
With little time to turn the pages over
So we practice what we preach
Just another mere machine to teach

One of these days
I'll escape
Push the race
And I'll find a new way
When the grind dictates your time
There's no room to fall behind
So I wake to that same old feeling

Just to be one more machine
Pre-programmed to be the same
When morning wakes I refuse to believe
I'm just one more machine

Revelation for an age
Diversify mine to escape the drover
Evict my need to unify
There's something more that I have long denied

And I walk free
I walk free from this machine

Taking chances my own way
So desires don't go to waste
Here I go, I'm on the road to somewhere

I won't be one more machine
Pre-programmed to be the same
There's something more and I need to believe
I won't be one more machine

I am full of moving parts
Constructed not to fall apart
Impartial to take blame
Built for the common age
No, I'm not for trade
Yes, you should upgrade
Experience the new
Improving the version of you

Seek to challenge the unknown
Everyday 'til I grow old
'Cause I choose to live a life worth living

I'm not just one more machine
Pre-programmed to be the same
There's something more and I choose to believe
I'm not just one more machine

I am full of moving parts
Constructed not to fall apart
Impartial to take blame
Built for the common age
No, I'm not for trade
Yes, you should upgrade
Experience the new
Avoiding coercion
A shiny new version of you

8. Red Sky

9. The Final Stand

10. Hideaway

Persistence is the answer when reaching for the stars
Never for a moment forgetting who we are
Fate shows its face in such strange ways
And its leading us right to the glory days
We'll prove you right we're out to fight the very best
And worthy we will be ooh yeah

We're out to get ya

Living in our secret hideaway
Look how far we've come in just one day
Hide your breath together we will climb

We're out to get ya

Thank you for your patience indulging all our flaws
Survive the very essence that burns you to the core
Not only reputation to defend
But knowing that its worth it in the end
If good things come for those who wait
We sign the slate and worthy we will be oh yeah
We're out to get ya...

Living in our secret hideaway
Look how far we've come in just one day
Hold your breath together we will climb
We're out to get ya...

Living in our secret hideaway
Look how far we've come in just one day
Hold your breath together we will climb
We're out to get ya...

Living in our secret hideaway
Look how far we've come in just one day
Hold your breath together we will climb
We're out to get ya...

11. Memoria's Longing
