1. Heads Of Fire

Took the fire and wrapped it tight around me,
Took the fear I had and cast it out to sea,
Left to fight alone?
Left to die alone?
Alone but not in vain.

If your day should come,
Take your light and make it known,
Look how far you've come,
Stand your ground and stand alone.

News flies quickly,
I can't believe you're gone,
But what you've given me,
Is the strength to carry on,
Just one thing to ask,
Is to have you back,
But I'll see you again.

Got a match, start a fire (time to make your light known),
Can't win this battle alone (we've waited far too long)

I'll stand alone, I'll fight alone,
I'll take this world on my own,
Take your light and make it known.
I'll fight alone, I'll die alone,
I'll start this fire on my own,
Take your light and make it known.

2. Breaking The 4th Wall

Admission for one...

Admission for one,
Because I need to see,
How something could end and begin with a bullet,
An impact so great that years later we feel it,
To think my American cousin,
Could provoke the voice of reason,
And breaking a wall could be the only way to go.

Honesty's gone, and left us broken,
Its the choice to make its the point to break,
No one forgotten in Springfield,
Given the chance another show?
Because Ford Theatre is for killers,
And actors tend to lose control.

Everything that you loved is gone.
(Leave me broke, leave me empty, gone)

Bigger than any memorial,
65 stories just to let you go...just to let you go.

Can you begin to believe that they gave you a value?
And I know that you're so much more than a face lost of paper.

Everything that you loved is gone.

3. Courage At Sea

Don't waste your breath on this campaign,
or this harbor,
Drop off the map and bring me back full circle,
I want these blinds to decay,
I want these blind men to say,
We want our shade back,
Act on impulse and make easy prey.

It's more than faith at sea,
It's more than hell set free,
I know that this is way beyond us,
But if the sky would fall,
It would enlighten us all,
I know that this is way beyond the soul.

Don't set your sights on charted roads,
Or safe horizons,
Provoke the winds to fill your sails and free your minds,
I pray their compasses fail,
I pray that courage prevails,
It's the only way you'll find me,
Being pardoned is for the dead anyway.

To courage at sea,
I want my life back,
To killing a dream,
To people being too scared to see.

4. Rise Of Kings

When everyone else saw a stone,
You saw pieces of a dream,
Faded and broken, brave and soft spoken, (sure and in motion)
Just enough to tear you apart,

Buildings fall, mountains move,
Giving up, but not on you,
Because you (because you)
Believed the power of love,
Escape me lungs, curse my eyes,
Make them see (make them see)
Your freedom comes with a price,
And please don't forget me / and please don't forgive me.

When a diet of warms begins to eat your insides,
You break a vow and post reasons why,
When all you have is a dream and a reason to die,
You close your eyes and test your theories on flight,

Don't deny me a spot in the clouds,
(I'm finding answers)
Give me the chance to defy their laws,
(I pray these words be heard)
Show me grace I'm ready to fly,
(I'm finding answers)
To open their minds and spit in their eyes.

5. To Contest And Conquer

Fighting was your last resort but they failed to listen,
Fighting anything or anyone who holds you down,
Scream yourself horse and lungs start bleeding,
Swing till knuckles break and faces get punched in,
Fighting, its not too much longer until you finally realize,
That you're not made of glass.

Let em come, we'll stand right here
With clinched fists and eyes on fire,
Watching as bottles fly through the air,
This isn't how we wanted it but its what it is
Don't run for shelter,
Stand tall, stand tall and fight,
To feel alive for the first time,
Stand tall, stand tall and fight...
No turning back now.

Trying everything you can but nothings working,
Trying to create a life that you can call your own,
Images, fractures, staring at sun bleached pictures,
Nothings how it was or how you remember,
Trying hard to accept,
That you were meant for so much more.

Let em come let em come,
We'll stand right here.

6. Paul's Lament

Why are you here?
Why are you mad?
Why are you here?
Why are you mad?

Is 6 feet the extent of your love?
Your trust?
Is that all that stands between us?
I'll find a way to make this right.
To shield the wind,
and hold your light.
Ask for change, pray for rain.

Let it fall, let it break.
Let it crash into the sea.
Blinding lights of search and rescue fall off course.
Let it be sure and tall.
Let it question who we are.
Break the framework that's enslaved us for so long.

Where's the point that we break?
Where's the point that we state,
that these lines are about us?
Let the stories unfold.
Let the lies that we told come back and expose us.
Refuse the idea of failure.
Accept the fact that it's over.
All this time, you were wrong.

Let it fall, let it break.
Let it crash into the sea.
Blinding lights of search and rescue fall off course.
Let it be sure and tall.
Let it question who we are.
Break the framework that's enslaved us for so long.

Can tons of despair be held up by hopes alone?
The damage kings can do before their dethrone.
When you finally realize that it's no one's fault but your own.

Her: Start the countdown.
Him: What took years to build, crumbled away.
Her: It's almost time.
Him: So, why should this be any different?
Her: Mark this building,
Him: From these tombs I fear no martyrs will rise.
Her: If we're still inside...
Both: At least not on my behalf.

To scream in vain "All Hands On Deck",
But not one's left,
Accept your fate,
And go down with the ship.
