SOEN LYRICS

1. Lumerian

Gathering
All the hidden keys
Turning rocks to diamonds

I'll lead you in
I will make it easy now
Turn unrest to comfort

By my side
You may close your eyes
And I'll be your guidance

Come suffering
Let me be your medicine
Lay your hopes on me

We're hunting blind and aimless
Embracing gods to feel their light
We fell from grace right into the unknown

I believe
That in the end we could be something more
But every trace of who we are is gone
Still I hope we could be the ones, be the ones

And I see
How we surrender for the endless greed
And we do nothing to prevent its spear
To keep piercing into our hearts, our hearts

Open eyes
Unveil the disguise
Of the friendly imposter

Who lures you in
Wearing a warmhearted grin
To leech off your vein

We are done
Feeding the machine
Losing trail of our only home

We're hunting blind and aimless
Embracing gods to feel their light
We fell from hope right into the unknown

A day will come
A time to deal with what we did
And our pride will crumble down on us

Someday we'll scream
To raise our voice for our belief
Together we can change the fate of all

I believe
That in the end we could be something more
But every trace of who we are is gone
Still I hope we could be the ones, be the ones

And I see
How we surrender for the endless greed
And we do nothing to prevent its spear
To keep piercing into our hearts, our hearts,
Our hearts

2. Deceiver

Love, light
Have abandoned our side
Leaving us dull without will to thrive

Lives pass
Uneventfully by
Anything challenging set aside

Stand by
Let the tension arrive
Grateful receive what deceit provides

This vice
Is a sinful ally
Fading to black every glimpse of light

When the heart is young
And the will is strong
You expect yourself to conquer
But the winds of time
Will disperse the signs that you left
To find your trail

In the waters of sin
I will drown my awareness of you
You have always been there
Covering the sun
Aching in my chest

Someday
I will do as you say
Cracking my armour to break away

All blame
I assign to myself
Carrying the guilt of a doom we share

When the heart is young
And the will is strong
You expect yourself to conquer
But the winds of time
Will disperse the signs that you left
To find your trail

In the waters of sin
I will drown my awareness of you
You have always been there
Covering the sun
Aching in my chest

You're my shadow within
And I'll give what I harvest to you
In the river of shame
Certain we immerse
Preying on the blessed

In the waters of sin
I will drown my awareness of you
You have always been there
Covering the sun
Aching in my chest

3. Monarch

When eyes of war
Set their sights on the dissident land
When the meek turn clamorous
And the sheep are the lions

As the curtain falls
And devotion is measured in blood
Hear the monarch call
For the lost and the bitter
Unending blazes light the sky, so bright
And thundering choirs pierce the air, with cries

Into the fire I am
Leading the slain
Steering the fallen to the end

Into the pyre I reign
Drowning in flames
Raising empires on remains

I'm a walking corpse who abandoned humanity's cause
To become the god of harm
To divide and devour

Seek among the bones
For the ones who confronted my hate
Artisan of gore, steaming smothering venom
Unending blazes light the sky, so bright
And thundering choirs pierce the air, with cries

Into the fire I am
Leading the slain
Steering the fallen to the end

Into the pyre I reign
Drowning in flames
Raising empires on remains

You could be someone who loves
You could be a dearest friend
But compassion isn't strength
And you were raised to be a man

And sometimes when you're alone
You despise who you became
And I see the next in line just hoping to become the same

Who are the ones we are sending to die?
Starry-eyed youth in disguise
Carry a banner of misleading pride
These are the ghosts of our time
Who are the ones we are sending to die?
These are the ghosts of our time

4. Illusion

Here we are
Blaming failure on the other
Here we are awaiting to depart

Do we care
Just enough to aid our brother
Do we care enough to cease the harm

With every step we take we get further away
From everything we need to reach harmony
For all of us who won't linger on to pretend
And everyone who follows their dreams

Runaway
From the weights that keep you cornered
Find a way to take back what is yours

You and I
We're depending on each other
While divided we won't hear the call

Where do I heal when the river runs dry
How do I sweeten the bitter
A word decides our fate
And silence condemns

Would you give what is left of your time
Give yourself up for the others
The choices are our own
But the failure we'll share

The man in charge is announcing
He'll be the one who saves earth and feeds the poor
And when that promise is broken
The next in line with the same lies will claim the throne

For every step he takes we get further away
From finding what we need to reach harmony
With every word he says he condemns who we are
Depriving us from reaching our dreams

Where do I heal when the river runs dry
How do I sweeten the bitter
A word decides our fate
And silence condemns

Would you give what is left of your time
Give yourself up for the others
The choices are our own
But the failure we'll share

5. Antagonist

With the rejects and lonely I blend
With the beggars and junkies I welcome
Of a life as the target of blame
For the outcast who wouldn't align
With the ruthless unfairness that rules on our time
For the wolves driven out by the lambs

You're mistaking the crook for the honest
While you're building our homes far away from us
Raising walls to keep us on the outside
Of your meaningless life

Fire up your guns, to honour the ones
Who walk on the edge of light to follow their cause
Fire up your guns, defying the kings
For the word that they preach
Is the wound that is making us bleed

I break my bread with the thieves
I share my wine with the villain you fear
To be cursed by the ones you revere

The weak and the bullied we are
The tyrant is feeding us crumbs from its hand
Celebrate a disheartening life

Dishonesty cracks in the light
Necessity forces the proud to be humble
Failure in life purifies

Dependency dampens the wild
Inequity weighs down the motion of progress
Life isn't just to survive

Fire up the guns, light up the flame and their will hear
Let anger be the voice that speaks

Born, as a shade in the dark
Like stain of shame of the flag of our cultural pride
Are we all unaware of our loss?
For a part of our kin we refuse to relieve
And condemn to exile

Fire up your guns, to honour the ones
Who walk on the edge of light to follow their cause
Fire up your guns, defying the kings
For the word that they preach
Is the wound that is making us bleed
Fire up your guns

6. Modesty

Searching for a course
Leaning on the answers
Nothing comes to mind
When grasping for a thought
Never mind the cost
Our rival is our modesty
Compromised ideas
Muddy at their core

Freeing yourself from right and wrong
Leaving behind all pride and shame

Follow me, follow us
Cause there's no one coming to help us
Coming to help us
To defeat this monster

Follow me, follow us
Are we strong enough to betray
Our love and our affection
To defeat this monster

We're better off alone
Nothing left here to discuss
If you bought or if you sold
You still won't get what you want

Freeing yourself from right and wrong
Leaving behind all pride and shame
Closing the door for the mental burden
Welcoming back the ones who left

Follow me, follow us
Cause there's no one coming to help us
Coming to help us
To defeat this monster

Follow me, follow us
Are we strong enough to betray
Our love and our affection
To defeat this monster

Cause sometimes it is hard to feel hope

7. Dissident

Use your head
Break away from this
Don't trust in a scale unfairly levelled

Ask yourself
Do I need to stay
Or am I restrained by my possessions

Wake us up
Free us from our fate
Give us something real to fight for

Break us out
From reality
Rescue us from domination

Take the lead to guide the course
Break the chains enslaving us

We are one
Undivided fallen sons
And we are designed to open our hearts to the night
Not to serve and comply
We have a fire burning inside of us
All driving us to break out

Take the fall
Blame it on yourself
Gather what you've lost and start from zero

Wander on
Sacred is your time
Don't resign the things you care for

No remorse
No passivity
Driven by determination

Take control of your innocence
It is easy to walk the distance and fade away
Away we go
To the unknown
To lessen the pain
So far within
It breaks the skin
And clears the trail

Be aware of your ignorance
There's a reason why the deceitful do find a prey
Among the lost
We share the cost
And feed off the pain
The time is in
Thicken you skin
And give it a chance

We are one
Undivided fallen sons
And we are designed to open our hearts to the night
Not to serve and comply
We have a fire burning inside of us
All driving us to break out

We are designed to fight for what burns in our hearts
To unleash who we are
Cause there is a fire burning inside of us
All tearing down every wall

8. Fortune

Time, it's unveiling every end
What we couldn't comprehend is now avowed

Weak, is the soul of every man
And the wicked ones decide the fate of all

And one day I know you'll understand
That your happiness depends on you
Even after all the battles lost
We still stand here believing

Doesn't matter if they know our name
When in darkness we will make it through
To be broken doesn't mean to fall

There's nothing to fear
I'll keep your path clear
As long as we walk
We'll find what is real
And I will become
Your shield and your wall
Unbreakable stone
Just keep yourself near

Cold, is the hand that rules the game
And the pieces of the play have no control

Doomed, is the heart of every man
That is taking for himself what is for all

And one day I know you'll understand
That your happiness depends on you
Even after all the fights you've lost
You still stand here believing

Doesn't matter if they know your name
When in darkness you will make it through
To be broken doesn't mean to fall

There's nothing to fear
I'll keep your path clear
As long as we walk
We'll find what is real
And I will become
Your shield and your wall
Unbreakable stone
Just keep yourself near
