RED SEAS FIRE LYRICS

1. Tyrants

We're in an age of change
The tunnel's light is near
And all you think about
Is vacuous selfish fear

Time to react
Now that their backs are turned
The truth is in and its getting worse
If you don't stop them who will?

Time to react
It's reaching critical mass
So get behind me or stay in chains
Ones you've defended in vein

The future's not a promise
With a key to hide away
Let's break open the constraints
and see if you're the same

After all that we have done to take away
The price of fame that you have taken day after day
After all that we have done I'm saved
The price that we have come to understand your pain

You've let them ascend the throne
Horrors in the name of gain
Your the one who said its done
And it's killing off the rest

I can't escape this prison
But the brittle bars now ache
I know
That you're beginning to fade
I know
There's no chance to be saved

Will this ever leave me
Or will I carry this for
All the time that I have left
At least till I forget

2. The Gold Room

The Palace of Dreams
Behind locked doors is the key
Unless you have the opulence
You'll beg on your knees

Why has it been left to feed
The words have simply left me
Why has it been left to seed
A world in which we cannot live in

I think you have yourself confused
By the do's and the don't's of the self accused
Dictate our direction with no voice of truth
History tells the tale that you're all the same

Now it's fallen to the hands glittering gold
That's all they know and you've left them wondering why aren't yours?
Their false assumptions as to why, will hurt us all
Lets hope the saying doesn't ring true

The Palace of Dreams
Behind locked doors is the key
Unless you have the opulence
You'll beg on your knees

Baited and bitten the wounded stay down
Our faces in dirt and our ears to the ground
No sympathy for the self-inflicted sickness
I'm so fucking tired of the way that they treat you
So get on your feet and get ready to shout
That enough is enough and it leaves me no doubt
How we conduct our behaviour changes now
It's a fear that gags you, sweat it out

Lay down the youth of the castor and now I am free
The sum of the curse that will pass down will itself rise in me
Hold to the callow constraints I have to connect
Run and step on the king of the sinking
Where your fate has been kept in your rage

(And it's broken, like the others)

Like no other you've scratched at the surface
have you come to understand it all?

And it's broken at seems we've created
I can't hold myself accountable for your mistakes again
When this is buried in the ground
Covered and stifled I'll sleep
Without a second thought but it's not now

It's time to wake up
It's time to wake up
It's time to wake up
Wake up

3. The Grand Escape

Time that we've bought
To try and get close
To the top of where we can go
But now you look down
You've figured out the climbs not worth the fall

Do what you're told
In hope that it all pays off
It's times like these that I can't look back

Why wait?
It's the medicine you choose
Why wait?
And it will be the last of you

I won't say the struggle within
Isn't worth the claim
The right to say that it defines you

Your affluence has become the ignorance that has caused
More than any personal struggle could absolve
The suffering of those left in your care
Apathetic to the needs of the souls you see as diseased
Strip back the skin and see who's within
It's you, the same, it's me, the same

Knock, knock
Now fate awaits
Its time to make the grand escape
Strap on your sensory prowess
And lead us the key

You've always been the lucrative type
But at the cost of how many lives
Have I pushed away from your magnetic eyes
Those who are prone to the insidious lie

A doctor of spin, you've kept them within
Their cage of ensued perspective,
Pull harder at the strings until they tangle
The message is lost and you slip by unseen
For the last time oppressor
Now address the few who still stand up to them
Begging for help

If they're still haunting me then they must...

Hold it inside and see what you find
Do you see us breaking free tonight
Now it doesn't seem fair to you
Hold it inside until you resign
The clutches with which you cling to life
In spite of the stare that shows no remorse

I can see all the things
That you've buried in the dark
And all of the faces that you've left behind
And If their still haunting me
They must be nightmares for you

4. Compass

The moral compass set to south
Down down where you're heading
There is no light to see underground
No light to see what is missing
One day you'll see the surface
To create a life worth living

Now I see you for what you are (we've left alone)
And It's a mess you've made
How the promises faded away

The story goes that I have lost
The only way of stopping you

Stop talking down to me
You may think that it shows superiority
But all I see are the cracks in your composure
Revealing insecurities

This is bred through your inferiority
And the lack of who take you seriously
A desperate cry to be heard
A foolish cry to be accepted by
Those who never care nor quiver at your words.

I'm done with taking orders
It's time to live life as I please
If all the mistakes I've made
Have made me the man I am today
How can I feel regret
This is the end that I've made
The suffering you've caused
Will never cease to end

Streaming with colours
Pierced by the eyes
That scream out your name
And they pray its not the end

Streaming with colours
Pierced by the eyes
That scream out your name
And they pray its not the end

We can't, we'd suffer again
To find the words unspoken
I can see what I've become

We can't, we'd suffer again
To find the words unspoken
I can see what I've become

The end is closer in this life
Than I care to dream, but its not over yet.
