SEVENTH WONDER LYRICS

1. Warriors

Welcome, my friends
Too long I have wandered forsaken
Bring me to life
The light that fills eternal night
Welcome, my friends
Every ending is just the beginning
A brand new dawn, new faith has spawned
I am the message from the other side

Before I die
I need to feel that I'm alive
Up from the dark I will arise
Igniting the spark in my eyes

The desire inside
It can't be denied
And the world is for the taking
We rise, we fall
We conquer it all
And we keep moving on
We are the warriors

My precious thirst
An urge to pursue what I'm craving
Want to possess, I can't redress
I feel a lust that I just can't repress
I'm a believer, unending fever
Harboring shadow-like dynamite
I'm a believer, mind deceiver
I harness my dreams and...

2. The Light

Do you remember?
We used to swim in the moonlight after dark
Do you remember?
The way the windows broke the light
I still remember
We used to never be scared when we were young
Tell me, do you remember at all

Like a flash in the dark
And my lost winter land is unfrozen
Just a glow from a spark
Can ignite a candle bright
Peaceful shine awoken inside

I can fall a thousand times and dance on burning embers
Just a warm embrace, or a touch of grace
A first heartbeat of new life
You can fall a thousand times, as long as you remember
All you need in the end is a long-lost friend
To remind you through the night
That joy is the light

Do you remember?
Us running wild with the wind beneath our wings
Cold snow in December
When we defied the steepest hill
I still remember
Without a care in the world, forever high
I will always remember it all

There was a time when I was lost in darkness
The greatest pain that I have ever felt
In agony and misery I wandered without light
With nothing there to fill the hole inside

There was a night, I saw my eyes deceiving me
Fooling myself
I was a victim of circumstance
But tonight I feel the lies all leaving me
I am breaking free
It's a choice that you can't leave to chance

I'm forging my life in the fires awoken inside

3. I Carry The Blame

I've never felt the moment could shatter like a dream
But there's more to life than I thought I would ever see
I've aimed to reach perfection
A foolish game to play

Hell, I swear I did my best and it crumbled anyway
This mortal life will bring you down to the ground
I've tried to reach the surface
But lost along the way

Because I know there's an ocean in between us
We fell apart,
Only to unite as one again
In my heart I always thought I knew the way
Right from the start

With a prayer, in despair
I am calling out your name
Hurt and ever broken
In the cold, in the rain
I am bleeding all the same
I carry the blame

At the bottom of the darkness
Where light can never reach
And there's nothing good
No nothing good could ever breach
I lie behind the curtain
Hiding in myself

I'm shutting down all feelings, numb in my cocoon
There's no one there, not anywhere under the moon
Living like I'm dying
This wasteland is my fate

I'm stronger than I was before, hurt but never broken
Rising to get off the floor
There is something more
I'm stronger than I was before, hurt but never broken
Forgiveness is an open door
There is something more

With a prayer, in despair
I am calling out your name
Hurt but never broken
In the cold, in the rain
I am healing all the same
Leaving the blame

4. Reflections

[Instrumental]

5. The Red River

As darkness calls, I am leaving my sanity in pieces
It's twisting and turning, corrupting my mind
Twisting and turning...
Feeding the rage that is growing beyond return
Cogwheels are churning
Raging and spreading its ash as it burns

I thought I knew you
Like you knew me
Is there no relief at all?
Is there resolution in forgiveness?
Pain goes away, but scars are forever

I rip myself open in anger
I will let my demons show
For something within me has broken
It's screaming and yearning to grow
For as long as my heart bleeds a river
I will let the red river flow
A harrowing crack in the surface
Exposing the rage and the beast that dwells below

Smashing, breaking, kicking, burning
And ferociously demand
Damn you all, it's all your fault
I'm reduced to contempt where I stand
Pushing the limit containing my misery
Borders are failing
Anger is an animal trying to be free

I thought I knew you
Like you knew me
Is there no escape at all?
Is there resolution in forgiveness?

6. Invincible

Did you reach for my hand
I'm in no-man's land
I'm confused and I don't understand
Tell me, are you feeling it too?
Is it really true?
All I want is to share this moment with you

It all started with a heartache
But since you walked into my life
I've been caught in a landslide
Stay until the day breaks
And let us come alive

I'm falling right from the start
There's room for only you and I
No others will keep us apart
You and I, invincible
Through the pain, to the love and the beauty

Could it actually be
That you're here with me
All the wonders that I get to see
I could honestly say
That I'm not afraid
One second with you I would never trade

7. Mindkiller

When your own life is in your hands
You choose the path to walk upon
And soon the past is taking over
And you alone must find your way
Just like impossible romance
Shackled to the underground
Way too afraid to take a chance
Just too afraid of failure

You wrote the lines that define you long ago
All that you need is inside you to leave it all behind

Into a mind set on fire
We're lost in a maze
Facing the memories
That'll work to conspire
And set us ablaze
Fear is the master
To lead us astray
So push darkness away

When that feeling is closing in
And panic's creeping up on you
Into the river of the broken
Fight or flight, you're paralyzed
To kill that beast inside your mind
And rise above the circumstance
Don't walk away, be someone
Never let your ghost control you

8. Under A Clear Blue Sky

Cling to life, reach up higher
Tread the causeway, testify
Deep within you
Cleanse the demons left to die

There is not a thing you can't do
Boldly embrace the world
As the pages turn let light surround you
And watch your life unfurl

Up onwards like a dynamo
Every step that I'm taking is under a clear blue sky
I fly above the doubt below
My hope, my guide
Brings light to my life

An excited child on Christmas Eve
Newlyweds about to leave
Hardship, trials...
Nothing touches he who smiles

In faith and love salvation lies
Leads the way to paradise
Free your mind and
Watch the brand-new sun arise

9. Elegy

I see a boy with a big guitar
And though he can't quite reach the notes
Still he sings with all his heart
The saddest words he knows

There's a weakness behind his eyes
He's supposed to never show
I can see how hard he tries
To let it all go

Hold it back, keep it in, let it die
Son, have you ever seen a real man cry?
I promise you the world will never ever really understand

Another tear goes up in flames
And the sadness leaves him burning
But it's hard to fight the shame
So a tear goes up in flames

I see a man with a crooked smile
It's like he's too afraid to feel
And so the wound he tries to hide
Just won't let him heal

Brush it off
You do whatever it takes
No one wants to see a strong man break
It's easier to love a man
Who never ever really made mistakes

The boy grows up
And he writes one more song
The most heartfelt song that he's ever sung
And it sets him free
To let his biggest hero die young

A final tear goes up in flames
All the sadness had him learning
He doesn't have to fight the shame
A final tear goes up in flames
