FRIEND FOR A FOE LYRICS

1. C.I.

[Instrumental]

2. The Sky And The Fall

take a look
(take a look and process the sound)
find a way to
(I'll find a way)
weave the whole
(the fragments allow)
save your own
(save your own or risk all)
violations
(and memory)
be atoned

coming around
all the things
that I've seen, left to die
watch as the force ignites, bright

walking along the fine line
all of the ways I choose to be alone
lost so deep in my mind
caught in the throws of all (you allow)

this could be your perfect life
so take your time
and leave the line
show your maker
it's all for gold
so take your time
and leave the line
whether not we go again
still believe

(so weak)
playing the role human
the subtle role of living within the frame
patient, restless in delay
living a life through my haunted dreams

break through the sky
inhale the fear of the unknown
take your time
and bring yourself to the maker

walking along the fine line
all of the ways I choose to be alone
lost so deep in my mind
caught in the throws of all

we're caught in the throws of it all
collapsing
the internal structure
weep for me
maybe death can bring us
closer
all my life I'm feeling
closer
even time can't save me now

fuck

collapsing
the internal structure
weep for me
maybe death can bring us
closer
nothing

3. Idle Hands

they'll come for you
they'll come back to make you suffer
for making light of their world
fantastic crowds
relative to the thoughts of all those abound
they'll take their pound of flesh
within a moments time
and feed it to you

silence sanctioned
for the time
wake up
take in the tide

the source of isolation
begs to be exposed

still alive
waiting on
(the hope for us all)
still alive
waiting for truth
(I'm waiting for the truth)

you can't escape the noise in your head
you can't escape the noise that's been said

failing to capture the wonder
of the simplest mind
(you speak with indifference)
still the faithful listen in
and close their eyes (they close their eyes)
and live the lie

the weight of the world and all your energy
make up your mind
the distant seas and turbulent geography
make up your mind

still alive
waiting on
(the hope for us all)
still alive
waiting for truth
(I'm waiting for the truth)

no
you can't escape the noise in your head
you can't escape the noise that's been said

runaway patrons of control
isolate passions working through

(still alive)

still alive
waiting on
(the hope for us all)
still alive
waiting for truth
(I'm waiting for the truth)

time awaits

4. For Less

obscure, altered
awareness forerun by question
our source confirmed
god's children, so say we all
fractured,
just beneath the frame is nature
seduced by variance
but in truth, we are the same
inside
beneath your pride

there's a spark that grows bright
and brings to view
all of the things you knew
about me
tell me why,
what is behind
fashioned after your kind
the children grow,
coming around through the age
in some expected time
now they're taking to the sky

we will fly
we will find
we will know
the gods are a word on the page

sail away
assured in open arms
(wide open)
waiting for something else
to claim we are
(we are with the stars)
stay awake
remember who you are
(remember)
waiting for something else
to claim we are
(we are bound inside for our time)

deceived
by memory

my potential outlined
the feeble view
all of the people use
to bring shame
tell me why
my value denied
fashioned after your kind
the elders knew
coming around through the age
in some fantastic time
our existence comes to light
we will fly
we will find
we will know
the gods are a word on the page

sail away
assured in open arms
(wide open)
waiting for something else
to claim we are
(we are with the stars)
stay awake
remember who you are
(remember)
waiting for something else
to claim we are
(we are bound inside through out all of our time)

look out into our creation
look up and gaze upon your self

look at me now
the same reflection
mirrored by creation
continued by our mien
look at me now
the same expressions
as observed by yourself
continued through our relics

vagrant under holocaust
searching for a new life
vagrant under holocaust
people thirsting for power
distant culture
overlapping
caught in the tangles of war

reclaim
the final word
the name will be heard
but not understood
if we are to continue
if we are to survive
honor
in accordance
can only support our brethren's
claim
the certain show desire
for unity
the blood that we share
no longer impaired
if we are to continue
if we are to survive
honor
in accordance
can only support our claim
for unity

5. Vultaggio

Just breathe, Don't say a word.

The empty, consumes me, and buries me so deep,
The empty, consumes me, and buries me so deep,

All that you, could have done,
before the face, of the sun,
burns a mark, upon my heart,
upon my thoughts, discraced and flawed.
Seeking vengence, braced in pride,
seeking the truth, seeking your life.

Nothing can comfort me now, cant say why or how,
this fate was chance, this test of pain, this injustice

This cant be happening, this cant be happening.

[CHORUS:]
in my heart and in my head, consummated by their action, hollow and broken
in my heart and in my head, consummated by their action, shattered and vacant

And your light has left my sight, But your warmth remains with me...
For the love of life I have lost you, please return...

Suddenly taken broken, torn from peace, torn from her beauty,
She tries and she fights, But she cant break free,
Suddenly taken, suddenly broken, she cant breathe,

He takes, he violates, he, spoils, she, she screams
He breaks, her piece by piece, severs the link, between her and peace, Why-------

Nothing can comfort me now, cant say why or how,
this fate was chance, this test of pain, this injustice

This cant be happening, this cant be happening.

[CHORUS repeat]

[Speaking:]
All that you, could have done,
before the face, of the sun,
it burns a mark, upon my heart,
upon my thoughts, discraced and flawed.
Seeking vengence, braced in pride,
seeking truth, seeking the life,
seeking the life, Im seeking your life.

He cant hurt you anymore, No more pain, No more suffering,
He cant hurt you anymore, no more pain, no more suffering.

So empty, this feeling, with out you, its hard to forget,
That Im so empty with these feelings, without you its so hard to forget

Your safe now, in the clouds, or in the ground.....

6. Formulaic Transition

[Instrumental]

7. Niacin

recall
everything you've made me
the fall of my securities
we all can relate
recall
some will make it over
some make it far under
we won't fail to wait
(c'mon)

now in times of progress
we're moving forward
cycles of birth and decay
returned
protecting all that is clean
torn form the ground
reconnect
then elevate

bow, forever
in the presence of all that is me
bow, surrender
before all that you seek

forever lost
for the pain within yourself
forever lost
slipping away
forever lost
for the past that claims the present
surviving
unscathed

she is the pain that starts the day
and never lets me be
this is the way i never meant to be
and i will walk away

closed now its set aside
unsure, define the line
peace please be for me
more than a word, more than a dream

give me your best shot
and count the open scars
give me your best shot
the flesh is raw
give me your best shot
cleanse yourself within
and just give me your best shot

(so i know to be your home)
faking the patterns of the clever
what a person you've turned out to be
making the moments last forever
when living the dream

[2x:] she is the pain that starts the day
and never lets me be
this is the way i never meant to be
and i will walk away

haunted
by the failure of this type
can you see it with your eyes
you've got to walk away
questions for the faceless lies
brought out by silence
rooted deep inside
grow, grow

(resolved)
faking the patterns of the clever
what a person you've turned out to be

8. Fallout

fallen
shadows dance upon a broken wall
faces of the awakened
we'll see them all

vile as a result of the past
the guilty consequence we see on the face of everyone
so wicked, classes of mutation emerge
the instinct to survive, motivates the conscious mind

lost in a world
where the damned walk hand in hand with the living
oh my god
the fallout washes over me

everything of value claimed
everything in the wasteland breathes

the population
decreases, they seek they're shelter
way down beneath
the surface, so contaminated
still they breathe
filthy breeds of human

wait
everything of value claimed
every second counts to me
everything in the wasteland breathes

for my survival
the choices foreseen
the weapons in holding
shall maintain the disease
for my survival
the choices between
the people shall know them
as elements of violence consumes them

so sleep
in the arms of the stars

decayed
statues of the mind decayed
(the flesh reciprocates)
decayed
statues of the mind decayed
(the flesh reciprocates)
the seasons change
(they're crossing over)
with the starved
(let's give them something)

all the infected will burn
they will burn

for my survival
the choices between
the weapons in holding
shall maintain the disease
for my survival
the choices foreseen
the people shall know them
as they burn

save me
from this world
