OF VIRTUE LYRICS

1. ...Is Moving On

Is this what you wanted?
Then you can have it.
Moving on is a struggle within itself.
Is this what you wanted?
Then you can have it.
Take it all away.
Take everything.
You can have it.

2. The Greatest Height

Our hearts are stronger than lions.
Our hearts are greater than oceans.
We could all die today, and nothing would change.
Let's make a difference.
Today is the day.
Along with our fears,
I strive to overcome.
We are no longer the rats we used to be.
As they feed, I will fall away.
And we are no longer a part of this disease.
From my knees we will march.
We will rise.
We will march to the greatest of our extents.
We will rise to the greatest of our heights.
And there we will meet to claim our victory.
There we unite with our hearts tried and true.
And we are not a part of this disease.
From your knees,
get off your knees.
We will defeat the odds.
We will march.
We will rise.

3. The Feat Of Man

I am torn between dreams and the feat of man.
I want more than ever,
to follow through with all my aspirations.
If not for them,
I would be a hollow man.
All of a sudden,
I have a heart made of something more than flesh,
and it's yearning for so much more than this.
Where is my heart in this?
Where is my ambition?
There are some days,
when I feel like I am right where I am meant to be.
There are other days,
that just seem to stab me right in the back,
as if I am the thief.
I will no longer be a victim to untried dreams.
Among this vast battleground filled with bloodstained bayonets,
armed with steady rifles and cross-haired bullets,
how is a man with hopes and dreams,
calloused hands and splintered knees,
to push against this wind?
Push against this doubt?
Is this all for nothing?
Am I just waking from my dreams once again?
This is the feat of man.
So they say there's a time, in every man's life,
when he must learn to let go.
Now is not that time.
I will never be a hollow man again.

4. Through Solace

[feat. Matt Lambdin of Die Strong]

If I went through what you have,
I would be in worse shape.
You give me the strength.
You give me the hope to carry on.
Pick me up from my knees.
My heart goes out to you.
Tonight you will be in my prayers.
As sure as the hope in our hearts.
Oh brother, the eyes of angels,
they see the tears that we have shed.
They see the ones we lost.
Pick up your head and move forward/
We have been here before.
And we stared into the eyes of woe,
we stared into the eyes of pain.
I am confident that life goes on.
Life goes on.
The sorrow of yesterday is staring at our backs.

5. Built On Lies

We went through hell together,
and came back with our feet blistered and calloused.
I have forgiven you.
You tried so hard.
You tried too hard,
to make my life a fairy tale,
until we stopped pretending.
What will it take to put this to an end?
There is still a hope that someday,
we will look back on all of the mistakes that we made.
Even through all of our suffering,
I still find solace in knowing,
I gave you my best,
when I had nothing left.
We said goodbye to open fields and blue skies.
We walked straight into and endless storm,
with tears already in our eyes.
We trudged through swamps filled with snakes masked in men's flesh,
and they are thirsty for regret,
without a true man's heart,
without a true man's love.
You are not too blame.
I am not to blame.
Who's to blame?
I could not stop you.
Even if I tried.
I could not save you.
Just remember, I'd still die for you.
Tooth for a tooth,
I'd still die for you.
Bridges fallen,
bridges built,
no bridge at all.
Those first ten years,
they are all washed away.
And who's to blame?

6. Blood On My Hands

We went through hell together
And came back with our feet bruised and calloused
Our hearts are bruised
You tried so hard
You tried too hard
To make my life a fairy-tale to the end
What will it take to put this to an end
There is still a hope
That someday we will look back on our mistakes
We said good bye to open fields and blue skies
We walked straight into an endless storm
With tears already in our eyes
We trudged through swamps
Filled with snake
Masked in mens flesh and thirsty for regret
Without a true mans love
Without a true mans heart
He's not to blame, I'm not to blame
Who's to blame
I could not stop you
Even if i tried
I could not save you
Just remember I'd still die for you
Tooth for a tooth I'd still die for you
Bridges fallen, Bridges built
No bridge at all
Those first 10 years they're all washed away
Washed away.
