FOR TODAY LYRICS

1. No Truth, No Sacrifice

The weak, justify the actions of the weak.
There is no answer, in cancer you speak.
Sickness in the selfishness

A wolf in disguise hiding a bitter fire
Too afraid to look into his lifeless eyes
Lost inside a world built upon deception
The coward in the mirror is his own reflection

No truth, no sacrifice
This world has grown content with compromise
No truth, no sacrifice
This world has grown content with compromise

Helplessness is just an illusion
There's a hole in our hearts
that overflows, and stains the earth with sin
There's a hole in our hearts
That will not close, unless we face what lies within

Helplessness is just an illusion
The adversary that threatens to kill us all
Paralyzed by our own confusion
Our selfishness will be our downfall

No truth, no sacrifice
This world has grown content with compromise
Know truth, know sacrifice
This world has grown content with compromise

There's a hole in our hearts
that overflows, and stains the earth with sin
There's a hole in our hearts
That will not close, unless we face the lies within.

The weak, justify the actions of the weak.
There is no answer, in cancer you speak.
The weak, justify the actions of the weak.
There is no answer, in cancer you speak.
Sickness in the selfishness

2. Broken Lens

Blurring the lines we define
Between the wrong and the right,
We're on the other side of the divide
And it makes me sick to watch us die inside.

Inside out. Tear me open.
Tear me open from the inside out.
Fix this broken lens.
Tear me open from the inside out.
Fix this broken lens.

On the verge of collapse,
Look through the cracks at world in decay.
Disoriented state where black and white turn to grey

Hanging by a thread.

Blurring the lines we define
Between the wrong and the right,
We're on the other side of the divide,
And it makes me sick to watch us die inside.

Inside out. Tear me open.
Tear me open from the inside out.
Fix this broken lens
Tear me open from the inside out.
Fix this broken lens.

When will this end?
Losing all perspective,
Can't read between the lines
When will this end?
To see a world that needs the truth
We buried deep inside
When will this end?

We are blind men in a glass prison.
Were not the image that you envisioned.
We are blind men in a glass prison.
Where is your hope? Where is your vision?

Broken lens
Where is your vision?

3. Forced Into Fire

Life or death
Open your eyes before there's nothing left
Life or death
I fear we are facing our final breath

Life or death
Open your eyes before there's nothing left
Life or death
I fear we are facing our final breath

Living on borrowed time
Dwelling in despair
The weight of our malevolence
Is more than we can bear

Forced into fire
Purify
A world rotting to the core

Forced into fire
We can't revive
A world forever at war

In the midst of desolation
There is a call to a new life
(call to a new life)
Take the scars from my soul
Draw out the parasite

The heavens cry
Tears of blood
For the fallen world

Where is the standard of Man
Within the lawless plague?

The heavens cry
Tears of blood
For the fallen world

Where is the standard of Man?
Distorted by hatred
Hatred and rage

Forced
(forced)
Into fire

Forced
(forced)
Into fire

Life or Death
Open your eyes before there's nothing left
Life or death
I feel we're facing our final breath

Life or death
Open your eyes
Life or death
I feel we're facing our final breath

The heavens cry tears of blood
For the fallen world

The heavens cry tears of blood
Tears of blood for the fallen world

The heavens cry tears of blood
Tears of blood for the fallen world

4. Deserter

Help me light the way for the brothers we have lost,
their silence on the pain is still replayed for all that we are not.

Across the plains of everything,
I see wreckage standing where revival used to be.
No sadder sight than the work their hands abandoned,
leaving vacant towers to crumble in the sand.

Fear brings out the worst in men,
they go where there is nothing but destruction,
and they thrive in it.
Fear brings out the worst in men,
they turn away from anything their prideful heart resists.

Light a candle for the lost,
the ones who wander in the dark,
seeking help from helpless hearts.
Light a candle for the lost,
I still remember,
I still remember who you are.
(I still remember who you are)

Help me light the way for the brothers we have lost,
their silence on the pain is still replayed for all that we are not.

I walk the same path my brothers once began,
but it's much lonelier tonight than it was back then.
Wearied by the storms and subtle songs of discontent,
I watched heroes fall along the way where angels fear to tread.

Deserter,
your truth is left unsaid.
Deserter,
there's a war,
there's a war inside your head.
Deserter,
I remember you;
There was a dream in your heart,
I could see from the start,
and it never came true.
Deserter,
I remember you;
I see the pain in your eyes and the fear that you hide from the brothers you once knew.

So light a candle for the lost,
the ones who wander in the dark,
seeking help from helpless hearts.
So light a candle for the lost,
the ones who wander in the dark,
seeking help from helpless hearts.
Light a candle for the lost,
I still remember,
I still remember...

5. Bitter Roots

Bitter roots
I can't remove
The poison inside you

Bitter roots
Sorrow runs deeper
Than I ever knew

This thorn in my side
Was once so easy to hide
Beneath the surface I tried
To reach deeper inside (inside)
But I just can't deny

These bitter roots
I can't remove
The pain you held on to

Oh these bitter roots
Feed the disease
Spoil all the fruit
My bitter roots

This thorn in my side
Was once so easy to hide
Beneath the surface I try
To reach deeper inside (inside)
But I just can't deny

Reach deeper down inside
(Release me)
Consume the pain I cannot hide

(Let me go)
Reach deeper down inside
(Release me)
Consume the pain I cannot hide
Let me go

Take it all away
My skin is stronger than soil
My heart won't be pierced by these thorns

Let me go
Take it all away

My skin is stronger than soil
My heart won't be pierced by these thorns
Tear out the bitter roots

6. Wasteland

This place is a wasteland
In isolation, we will fall
Never forsaken if we can fight the flame
That burns within us all
This place is a wasteland
In isolation, we will fall
Never forsaken if we can fight the flame
That burns within us all

Isolated, broken down to the ground
Like a castle in the sand
Scarred by betrayal
There's a darkness that creeps into everything I am

I never asked to be an outcast
Promises turn to tragedy
I wasn't meant to be alone
Severed ties turn to broken dreams

Broken dreams
Only memories of the peace I once felt
Broken dreams
Desperation is all that I have left

This place is a wasteland
In isolation, we will fall
Never forsaken if we can fight the flame
That burns within us all
This place is a wasteland
In isolation, we will fall
Never forsaken if we can fight
The flame that burns with us all

Face down in the dirt
With vultures surrounding me
Praying for my death
Have I been betrayed?
Or the mother betrayer
Save me before there's nothing left

I'm not hopeless, I'm just abandoned
I'm not dead, I'm just dead to you
I'm not hopeless, I'm just abandoned
I'm not dead, I'm just dead to you
I'm not hopeless, I'm just abandoned
I'm not dead, I'm just dead to you

7. Hopeless Ambition

Watch me as I self destruct
Under the weight of everything I wanted
Watch me as I self destruct
I gained the world, but it was not enough

Our idols are why we're broken
Please show us that hope is
A hopeless ambition

So we turned away
From the gods we'd made
And we made to break
So only truth remains

All our heroes will fail us
Everyone will fall
All our heroes will fail us
We'll forget them all
All our heroes will fail us
Everyone will fall
All our heroes will fail us
We'll forget them all

Like a crown on a dead man
All our praises are wasted on fame
Like a crown on a dead man
Every king takes his throne for granted

The one who flies the highest
Is doomed to fall the hardest
The one who flies the highest
Is doomed to fall the hardest

Our idols are why we're broken
Please show us that hope is
A hopeless ambition

So we turned away
From the gods we'd made
And we made to break
So only truth remains

All our heroes will fail us
Everyone will fall
All our heroes will fail us
We'll forget them all
All our heroes will fail us
Everyone will fall
All our heroes will fail us
We'll forget them all

Watch me as I self destruct
Under the weight of everything I wanted
Watch me as I self destruct
I gained the world, but it was not enough

8. Determination

is is sacrifice
No surrender, no compromise
Pain is the price you pay

Destined to try
Carrying courage like a fire in side
We walk the path of determination

Destined to try
Through the flames, you'll see conviction rise
We walk the path of determination

Time will tell
Show me devotion, 'cause talk is cheap
Time will tell
We won't be broken - this is destiny

Our position will come
Press on! Press on!

The pain is the price you pay
To be stronger tomorrow than you are today
The pain is the price you pay
To be stronger tomorrow than you are today

Make no mistake
This is the price you pay
Count the cost, count the cost
Let nothing stand in your way
Make no mistake
This is the price you pay
Count the cost, count the cost
Let nothing stand in your way

Give it all, this is sacrifice
No surrender, no weakness, no compromise
Step up!
Count the cost and pay the price
Give it all, give it all
This is sacrifice

Destined to try
Carrying courage like a fire inside
We walk the path of determination

Destined to try
Through the flames, we'll see conviction rise
We walk the path of determination

No surrender! No compromise! Go!
No surrender! Press on! No compromise!
No surrender! Press on! No compromise!

Time will tell
Show me devotion, 'cause talk is cheap
Time will tell
We won't be broken - this is destiny
Our position will come
Press on! Press on!
The pain is the price you pay
To be stronger tomorrow than you are today
The pain is the price you pay
To be stronger tomorrow than you are today

Make no mistake, this is the price you pay
Count the cost, count the cost
Let nothing stand in your way
Make no mistake, this is the price you pay
Count the cost, count the cost
Let nothing stand in your way
Press on!

9. Flooded Earth

Like a drowning man to a sinking ship
I cling to the things that I know will kill me
Is this all I am? Is this really it?
It's time to sink or swim

Like a drowning man to a sinking ship
I cling to the things I know will kill me
Is this all I am? Is this really it?
It's time to sink or swim

Neck deep in desperation
It's pulling me under
Neck deep in desperation
It's pulling me under

I know the ocean wasn't put into place
To swallow a man who simply lost his way
But all false ambition sinks like a stone
In the pit of our souls

I won't carry this anchor anymore
I won't carry this anchor anymore

My wandering heart cries out
For anything I could hold onto

To pull me from the waves
All around me
My heart is pounding, and I
Am begging you to pull me, pull me

Like a drowning man to a sinking ship
I cling to the things that I know will kill me
Is this all I am? Is this really it?
It's time to sink or swim

Like a drowning man to a sinking ship
I cling to the things that I know will kill me
Is this all I am? Is this really it?
It's time to sink or swim

Rise above this flooded Earth
Rise above this flooded Earth

The water still rushes to fill my lungs
I fight for the surface to see the Sun
I still believe

Pull me from the waves
All around me
My heart is pounding, and I
Am begging you to pull me

Pull me from the waves
All around me
My heart is pounding, and I
Am begging you to pull me
Pull me out

10. Time And Tide

Tell me it's not too late
Tell me it's not too late

Time slips away just like water through my fingers
The past lies in differential, fibbish decay
Can I fix fractured wings before they whither away?
Rescue me!

Tell me it's not too late
Tell me we'll be OK
Tell me it's not too late
To rescue me, rescue me

Turn it around, turn it around
Wasted years will never come back around
Let them go, and
Turn it around, turn it around
All the pain that made us strong
Faded long ago

Can you take me back, can you take me back?
Trapped in this grace, I just can't forget the past
Can you take me back, can you take me back?
I can't live in misery

I will not let regret break me
I found strength through suffering
Strength through suffering
Strength, strength through suffering

Time slips away like the breath from my lungs
Blinded and deaf, come carry this soul
So broken and desperate, in search of its home
Rescue me!

Tell me it's not too late
Tell me we'll be OK
Tell me it's not too late
To rescue me, rescue me

Tell me it's not too late
Tell me we'll be OK
Tell me it's not too late
To rescue me, rescue me
Oh!

11. Two Brothers

Father forgive me, I confess
I know exactly what I've done
While reaching out in my selfishness
Have I become a wayward son?

What more do you have for me?
I threw it all away while my brother stayed
My life's been in misery
As he defends the home that I betrayed

So disgusted with the life I've built
Overcome by the burden of shame
So disgusted with the life I've built
I'm afraid there's no one left to blame

Lying face down, covered in the filth of my own failure
I became, in desperation, what I swore I'd never be

Father forgive me, I confess
I know exactly what I've done
While reaching out in my selfishness
Have I become a wayward son?

What more could you want from me?
I watched my brother leave, but I stayed faithful
My life's been in misery
So I could make you see that I am able

Never moved and never conquered
I gave my heart and soul to
Defend this home
Heart and soul
Defend this home
Heart and soul
Defend this home

Two brothers, far from home
One in heart and one alone
Two brothers are done with grace
Father forgive us of our disgrace

Two brothers, far from home
One in heart and alone
Two brothers are done with grace
Father forgive us of our disgrace

Two brothers, far from home
One in heart and one alone
Two brothers are done with grace
Father forgive us of our disgrace

Two brothers, far from home
One in heart and one alone
Two brothers are done with grace
Father forgive us of our disgrace

12. Without You

Without you
I'm barely hanging on
Was there something more that I could have said?
They say tomorrow's Sun will rise
But it won't shine here
Without you

I'm barely hanging on
Was there something more that I could have done?
They say tomorrow's Sun will rise
But it won't shine here
Without you

Death came into my life
When the blood stood still in your face
In that moment of weakness,
You changed my life forever
And I had no say
The Sun has set on the time we had together
Pain took you away
Oh!
Pain took you away
Death came into my life
When the blood stood still in your face
Oh, since that day
I'm not so fearless anymore
I have to find a way
To be stronger than before
Left here
Without you

I'm barely hanging on
Was there something more that I could have said?
They say tomorrow's Sun will rise
But it won't shine here
Without you

I'm barely hanging on
Was there something more that I could have done?
They say tomorrow's Sun will rise
But it won't shine here
Without you

You took the easy way out
And you left me to pick up the pieces
I keep saying I don't hold it against you
But I'm not sure if I really believe it

I have to be stronger
I have to be stronger
I have to be stronger than surrender
I have to be stronger than surrender
I have to be stronger than surrender
Stronger, stronger than surrender
Stronger, stronger than surrender
I have to be stronger
