I KEPT SILENT LYRICS

1. Precession

My scars will never hold me back from being everything I have to be, not for myself, but for this hopeless generation that's leading itself to the cliffs.

2. Mobilizer

I was told to march
Armed with my beliefs
Not a soul will stand
Between me and my hunt for thieves
All the while you sit on your horned throne and please
Only yourself with puppets of greed

Oh sweet Contortionist, your act plays no part
In this grand scheme of ending means
And when the voices begin to gather
All will come gather 'round together
And we will sharpen our knives, our tongues, our minds
We will win this war
We will win this war we wage

Our misery will be lifted with the end of a bounty
All our wounds mended with angels in harmony
All our fears melted away at the sight of our history
And our name will be one with
No pain, no suffering, lifted up on the throne of victory

Until the day I die
I’ll make sure that our fears left behind us are left with your name
And when the violence of producers meet
I’ll be sure that you’re left weeping at our feet.

3. The Covenant

I've seen the broken before me;
I've seen the scarred and the damned;
But I will fear no evil,
For my Father is with me!

Are we the chosen or are we the broken?
And as I call to my Savior
I know we've elected the fallen:
A leader of the damned
To cast out God and bury the lamb
We are not the fallen!
A fortress of God, forever calling
Chosen are we to repent the serpent
Chosen to be of The Holy Kingdom
Broken are we, but I've seen the truth
Broken is he and we'll cast him to the ground

I've seen the broken,
The scarred, and the damned
But I will fear no evil

Help me God, I've been away for too long
Not my will but, Father, Yours be done!
Help me God, they know no wrong
Save me God, I've been away far too long

Forgive me Father for I have sinned!
But I know my Savior;
Evil will never win

As my body breaks and my soul begins to turn
You move mountains for me and show me what I truly deserve
You show me what I deserve!
I know I'm not alone anymore

Pick me up!

Where will we go from here
If failure is not an option?
And no one will see
The light through broken mirrors
When all reflections have faded away
I know that we are strong and the weak will become the prey
This is my aspiration
I'll be with Him one day!

We will not falter from His grace!
We will learn our rightful place!

4. Exposure Of A Visionary

Stay away from me; your "truths" bring no solace anymore
I find resolution in your famished words
Bludgeoning but I will stand in my conviction
Corpses line the streets you claim as your own
Step away from this hatred inside all of us
I am not a part of this; extinguish the menacing speech
 
This is where we stand!
I’ve seen the lies you breed, your words corrupted with filth
I cannot believe you have a say in this world
Who are we to allow this to happen?
 
We can’t be the ones to say where we are left dead
We’re stranded to justify everything we've done 
But I know He will see me through,
I know He will hear me through
This maelstrom (of my transgressions)

He is everything!
Take me through the ground
I know the sincerity will bring forth the remedy
 
Tell me all the things that you want me to hear
The news has been revealed
Tell me all the things that you want me to hear
The news has been revealed so lie to me now,
Great Abandoner!
 
I have all the time I the world to collect my own miserable thoughts
I know that the pieces you left me are filled with the hearts of the lost

5. Trigger Finger

No quality of life at home
As a child everything seemed so fairytale
But the world you fell into would quickly shape who you are
Take control and break the chains!
Your family never cared about you
They only wanted to hold you under the tide
 
You still showed them grace
After they stripped it out
They tried to beat you down.
You have a light they tried to hide,
Who knows why?
Who knows?
 
Mother who went insane, took a hammer to the brain
Showed her daughter the wrong way
The pages are burning!
 
Through struggle we elope the flame
Finding ourselves in the light once again
And if you hold on I will show you,
I will show you what all of this means for you and I
 
Release the resentment that's gripping your mind 
Shine through the dirt we bury ourselves in constantly
 
You're falling; you've fallen into the well,
The water will wash you away
I know that you'll never; you'll never escape on your own
 
Therefore know that our nature is putrid
We succumb to the slightest temptations
There is something outside of us that allows us to stray
 
Left with the weight of your life and haunting memories
You stand, convicted for the outcomes you can’t control,
In front of that table,
You pick it up and spin,
Barrel to the mouth and a quivering stance
You made the one decision you can’t take back.

6. Walkers

He woke up into a world that was not the same as when he left
He woke up to the walking, the walking dead
 
When will he find
A little peace of mind,
Collect his thoughts
And show His light to the world?
All the knowledge he holds
'Til then he tells himself,
"This is not my home!"
 
How many times does he have to break to get answers?
He's got all the right questions
But with no direction, he's in all but closure
Living life in a world devoid of composure
All of the simple things in life get taken away
Where does he turn to now
When every aspect of consciousness has faded away?
 
Is there no one?
His reality has broken away
Is there no one?
A withered body, mind, but a hopeful soul
 
Tossing and turning
Yet he finds no peace
All they do is kill kill kill!
And all he can do is run from hell!
 
He strives to find hope not from this world
No more waiting around for his call
And he'll bite the bullet
He cries aloud "I know this place like my own,
But this is not my home.
This is not my Home!"

7. To Wander The Desert

Woe to you, blind guides
I swore by it all!
 
The selfish void that filled my heart
Carried out to questioning

I wondered what it could mean
To break down and what it’d mean to give in
I wondered what it could mean
To stand here, lonely
 
If I had only one chance to find out
Would even I care enough?
Is it worth the World?
Would it be worth the endless night spent in the cold
Yearning for a place I’ve already given up?
But I’m helpless and searching
For the way out of this ever-dimming cave
 
I’ve been led to the water poisoned with blood
I know it too well and I won’t be brought to the drought again
With dried tongues and withered lungs, I gasp for something pure
But this I’ve said and let it stand; I won’t be led astray
 
Bring me closer to the sky
Bring me closer to the heart you’ve mined
Bring me closer to the sky
Bring me closer so I might not be lost inside
Bring me closer
 
The Earth that buries these lies
Has already done all it can to sway the monuments
Towering the tribes that spread the movement
Of all our callous wants and beliefs
 
I’ve been led to the water poisoned with blood
But this I’ve said and let it stand; I won’t be led astray

8. Decay, Rebuild

I, I am not afraid of what's to come
But this silence is deafening
I know you hear my words
But - I can't feel your presence
I'm freezing in the snow
Waiting for you to come to my rescue
My heart is growing numb
God, wake me up!

My body aches and I'm sore from believing
In anything and everything that is the center-point
Of all that I'm perceiving 
As rigid love, as whole-hearted reform
All that I knew, all that I sought
I buried it with dead intentions
Trying to find a way to hear you respond
Trying to find a way to reap the cost

I need you
I know I can't survive this on my own
I'm scared and I'm trembling
I need you 
I know I'll never fly until you mend my broken wings

Oh God, I need to feel you inside
I'm losing my grip on the truth
I'm gonna run aground 
My heart is hardened by this bitter world
I need you to break me from the inside out

I need you
I know I can't survive this on my own
I'm scared and I'm trembling
I need you 
I know I'll never fly until you mend my broken wings

I've come here with empty hands
There's nothing I can give
Your love has never failed me
But I'm here standing still

Breathe into me
Make me whole again

I need you
I know I can't survive this on my own
I'm scared and I'm trembling
I need you 
I know I'll never fly until you mend my broken wings

Oh God, I need to feel you inside
I'm losing my grip on the truth
I'm gonna run aground
