IN HEARTS WAKE LYRICS

1. Aether

[Instrumental]

2. Skydancer

We're dancing on top of the world
Looking down on places
That cease to exist
We need a reason to turn our backs
Forced to create steel towers of death
We're fearless on the edge of the earth
Giving all these people
A chance to persist
We need a reason to turn our backs
Building a future with so many cracks

Remember where you first called home
Reclaim the life of the skydancer
Restore what you called your own
Return where you run wild and free

[Chorus:]
Remember where you first called home
You're never gonna see it
Till you're dancing on top of the world
Restore what you called your own
Return where you run wild and free

There's dying in the streets
The hungry cannot eat
The rich fuel the genocide

Every angle
Bound by the concrete jungle
Unconscious
Can we afford to live this way?

Abandoned and forsaken
Is this the path that we've taken?
Abandoned and forsaken
We must arise and awaken

Eeeagh

Remember where you first called home
(Where you first called home)
Restore what you called your own
Return
Remember where you first called home
Reclaim the life of the skydance
Restore what you called your own
Return where you run wild and free

[Chorus:]
Remember where you first called home
You're never gonna see it
Till you're dancing on top of the world
Restore what you called your own
Return where you run wild and free

[Chorus:]
Remember where you first called home
You're never gonna see it
Till you're dancing on top of the world
Restore what you called your own
Return
(Return)

We're dancing on top of the world
Looking down on places
That cease to exist
We need a reason to turn our backs
Forced to create steel towers of death
We're fearless on the edge of the earth
Giving all these people
A chance to persist
We need a reason to turn our backs
Building a future with so many cracks

3. Breakaway

Can you see what you've become?
Hiding yourself behind a loaded gun
You will never feel true love
Living in the shadow of the sun
The hopeless now lie crawling on their knees
And who will lead with compassion in their hands?

Break, break away
Break from the past, break from everything you know
Take, take away
Take from the dead, they are living proof

Try to breathe the smoke-filled air
Haunted by the voices of the dead
You will never win the war
Or wash away the blood that has been shed
The hopeless now lie crawling on their knees
And who will lead with compassion in their hands?

Break, break away
Break from the past, break from everything you know
Take, take away
Take from the dead, they are living proof

Break, break away
Break from the past, break from everything you know
Take, take away
Take from this life; it’s the only fucking truth

To the cowards who sit back and watch
Fathers become a casualty notch:
Where are they now the truth is out?

To the mothers who grieve and cry
While their children fight back and die:
Where are they now the truth is out?

Break, break away
Break from the past, break from everything you know
Take, take away
Take from the dead, they are living proof

Break, break away
Break from the past, break from everything you know
Take, take away
Take from this life; it’s the only fucking truth

This is the only fucking truth

4. Badlands

[Verse 1:]
Walking through the badlands
I watch the tyrants scar the red sands
Their greed is like morphine
Drilling into the veins with machines
The purest form of evil that I've ever seen

[Pre-chorus 1:]
Who are you to destroy this ancient land?
How dare you disrespect what you don't understand
We will rise up
We will take it back
You are called out
This is where we make our stand

[Chorus:]
We're tearing down the walls
We are the outlaws, we are the outlaws
Your kingdom was built to fall
And now we're coming for you all

[Verse 2:]
Riding through the canyons
I am the outlaw left abandoned
Fingerprints of future lives
Footprints of homes left behind
Self-destruction is the greatest failure of mankind

[Pre-chorus 2:]
Who are you to destroy this ancient land
How dare you disrespect what you don't understand
We will rise up, we will take it back
You are called out
We will make our stand

[Breakdown:]
Don't let this world go
We'll never make it on our own
Don't let this world go
The only home we've ever known

[Chorus:]
We're tearing down the walls
We are the outlaws, we are the outlaws
Your kingdom was built to fall
And now we're coming for you all

[Outro:]
So here we stand back to back at crossroads
Our guns drawn now
It's time to reap what you've sowed
Bronze, silver and gold
Now lead is all that you're owed
With your last ten steps
You'll suffer six feet below

5. Insomnia

I've been kept awake, for what feels like a thousand days.
Twilight keeps me here suspended, frozen still as time intended.
The path that binds must be, what is defining me.
So sing me back to sleep, wrap me in your memory.

I can't stop hearing these voices (these voices in my head).
They try to keep me wide awake and I just want to give in .
I can't stop hearing these voices (they never end).
When will they let me fall asleep?
Wake up.

The night is clever, capable of deceiving weather.
Nothing always has a meaning, if everything is always breathing.
The body is my temple, a golden fragile vessel.
So sing me back to sleep, wrap me in your memory.
The floor boards speak, the curtains start to breathe.
Stuck in a lucid dream, wake from this treachery.

I can't stop hearing these voices (these voices in my head).
They try to keep me wide awake and I just want to give in.
I can't stop hearing these voices (they never end).
When will they let me fall asleep?
So let me sleep.

I can't stop hearing these voices (I can't stop). (I can't stop).
I can't stop hearing these voices (they never end).
It shifts from dark to light as daybreak intervenes.
Another sleepless night, another page to write.
My mind lost in between.

6. Oblivion

[Instrumental]

7. Wildfire

Questioning the wildfire spreading in
So tell me is there more to see? How is life supposed to be?
I feel it begin
The here and now within
And I can taste the rising flames
Radiating through my veins
Ignite your fire tonight

Ignite your fire tonight

This light is now burning constantly
I can feel the fire spreading from beneath my feet
It's brighter than the rising sun, so don't let it set or we'll come undone

Back in the shadows
I saw everything
And I now know there's more than DNA
In our minds, in our lives

Here in the meadows
Life is everything
And I know this is a brand new day
In our minds, in our lives

My blind eyes have seen the brightest day
The more the fire begins to blaze the more darkness is pushed away
It now writes my name
In colours of the flame
Trust those who seek the truth
Question those without pursuit
Ignite your fire tonight

This light is now burning constantly
I can feel the fire spreading beneath my feet
It's brighter than the rising sun, so don't let it set or we'll come undone

We're burning alive
We're burning alive

This light is now burning constantly
This light is now burning constantly
Ignite your fire tonight

This light is now burning constantly
I can feel the fire spreading beneath my feet
It's brighter than the rising sun, so don't let it set or we'll come undone

8. Cottonmouth

Everyday they commit crimes of dishonesty.
Make no mistake we will set it straight.
Medication diagnosed but not defined, their antidotes render us blind.

Cold-blooded lies (made from millions).
Strike from behind (backed by corporate billions).
Where the weak have died you watch as the strong survive.
Dead-alive (you're feeling paralyzed).
(Killionaire)

You're feeling paralyzed bitten by a cottonmouth.

Year by year they inject chems of toxicity, at our expense, how does it make sense? Strangulation as they inject the frail, prescription for a coffin nail.

Cold-blooded lies (made from millions).
Strike from behind (backed by corporate billions).
Venom now takes hold.
Pharmaceutic evil.
Broken vows, bitten by a cottonmouth.

Your life is under attack
A helpless victim of the viper in back
How could this happen to you?
A choking body quickly turning so blue
Your life is under attack
A helpless victim of the viper in back
You've been falsely led to your deathbed.
Butchered, betrayed and left for dead.

Overdosing a nation.
Force-fed lies that give us hope.
This is the fucking end.
They don't deserve to live.
They will rest in pieces.
This is the fucking end.

9. Erase

[feat. Ben Marvin & J Hurley]

Open up your eyes because it's a long way down.
Wake up and turn this hatred around.
Racial insanity, trafficking of slaves.
These crimes you will take to your graves.
Your souls are like one another;
Your veins are similar in colour.
This land wasn't yours to keep,
So listen now and hear me speak:

The stars look down and witness.
Erase the spreading sickness.

You can't see it with your eyes because they are rolling back.
You're about to have a heart attack.
Human depravity, suffering and torture.
Co-existence maimed at the slaughter.
Your souls are like one another;
Your veins are similar in colour.
This land wasn't yours to keep.
Wake up fools from your ignorant sleep.

The stars look down and witness.
Erase the spreading sickness.
You're so far gone that you can't see
Your place in hell is guaranteed.

I stand tall, feet firmly planted on the solid ground.
Separation now leaves you to sink and slowly drown.
Unmarked graves for those who have disgraced our name.
Devastate? Eradicate? The human race is the same in every way.

I stand tall, feet firmly planted on the solid ground.
Separation now leaves you to sink and slowly drown.

Separation will never advance us.
Discriminate, you will never rebuild trust.
We're born the same over time. Your open mind changed.
We're all brothers, so you need to look upon others in the same light.
Just 'cause you're white doesn't mean you can excuse this ignorant fight.
And the same if you're black no racist attack is justified.
Supremacy, just a lie.

Does it matter about the colour of skin?
Stop wasting your time.You're fighting a fight that you won't win.
Diminish this ignorance and get a grip. Settle in.
You're controlled by the hype, abusive and threatening
Towards another brother that wants to be here and fit in.
Grown up around mixed-race kids, we see no difference,
So why discriminate him? Hatred based on appearance.
You need to erase this spreading sickness.

The stars look down and witness.
Erase the spreading sickness.
You're so far gone that you can't see
Your place in hell is guaranteed.

10. Intrepid

[feat. Marcus Bridge]

What is this feeling that awakens the soul-removing, constricing our need for control?
I don't know if I am alive in this horror.
I watch the chaos unfold in the eye of the storm.
I swim with snakes and I spiral through form.
In the end of the living, in the home of the dead, there is a world where the brave only dare to tread.
Thrown into cold the fear sets, the sun burns black.
Terror begins, there's no turning back.
Can you feel it seizing your spine?
Can you see it slowly turning you blind?
When will you seek and see the marvels around you?
Don't let yourself be the one in the way.
Realise that you're alive.
Surrender.
I watch the chaos unfold in the eye of the storm.
I swim with snakes and I spiral through form.
In the end of the living, in the home of the dead, there is a world where the brave only dare to tread.
This nightmare continues chasing your breath.
There's warfare within you embracing your death.
Can you feel it seizing your spine?
Can you see it slowly turning you blind?
Turning you blind.
I emerge attempting to define the indefinable.
Attempting to describe the indescribable.
Through hurricanes, only one thing remains I can hear singing on the air tonight.
Close your eyes.
Don't be afraid.
I'll be there to keep you safe.
Close your eyes, don't be afraid.
I'll be here to keep you safe.

11. Father

Skydancers, the air that surrounds us is the same air within us.
We breathe through our lungs just as the earth breathes through the trees.
Man did not weave the web of life.
He is merely a strand in it.
Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself
