UNLEASH THE ARCHERS LYRICS

1. Waking Dream

Wandering a waking dream while reaching for the light
As the day falls over into night
Centuries like flowing streams as years go rushing by
Waiting in the dark for afterlife

2. Abyss

Open my eyes in a daze
How long has it been? Am I so out of place?
Warmth I can no longer feel
My mountain is gone, I'm surrounded by steel

The strangest of structures arises ahead
Seems to be held up by nothing
Where have I gone, do I dream?
How can the stars be all I can see?

Dark embrace
Has someone awakened me? Please show your face
Cold and quiet space

Out so far beyond stars and the sun
Filling my heart up with wonder, unknown
Now, to the edge of imagination
Open my eyes to phenomenon, and hope

Feverishly I explore
Searching for someone, there has to be more
I can't be the only one here
My path always guides me, there's nothing to fear

Then why do I feel so immensely alone
This can't be the end of my story
Onward I go once again
Fighting my way to my final breath

Into the abyss

Out so far beyond stars and the sun
Filling my heart up with wonder, unknown
Now, to the edge of imagination
Open my eyes to phenomenon, and hope

Summon the strength of millenniums past
Forged by the fire and flame
I am the weapon of empires vast
Immortal is more than a name

Out so far beyond stars and the sun
Filling my heart up with wonder, unknown
Now, to the edge of imagination
Open my eyes to phenomenon, and hope

Cry into the chasm ahead
Into the sky never ending, although
Time will tell if I'm worthy of it
A future of final transcending, alone

3. Through Stars

As we make our way through starry night
Only memories to hold the light
As the darkness closes in again
Feel the hunger of awakening

Reflect on a thousand lifetimes spent among the slain
And realize I know nothing of life beyond the blade

Carry me on the winds of a storm
Show me the power of the universe
Give me the strength of wing to soar
Show me the power of the universe

Wandering among the ghosts that I have made
My companions in this escapade
On the edges of periphery
Hovers promise of a better way
Though I feel that I've been here before
There's no time to wonder anymore
On this vessel as it carries me
Headlong into destiny

No longer will I ignore the man I'm meant to be

Carry me on the winds of a storm
Show me the power of the universe
Give me the strength of wing to soar
Show me the power of the universe

Carry me
Show me the power

4. Legacy

As I was wandering the world
Trying so hard to find you
To give me purpose in this life I'd lost
And as I learned to forgive you
For all you'd done

Destiny opened a door
And showed you weren't the one
Worth searching for

But as time wore away at my will to carry on
Only vengeance could take what I'd give to see it done

When I finally found the words
The ones I knew would wake you
To take you from her and to make you mine
Somehow all I felt was hollow
Please tell me why

Nothing is ever the way
You think that it should be
It's not the same

As we stand in this place and you wonder who I am
Can't you see in my face I'm his son, his earth and ash
And you are here as servant one last time
Together we will bring her to the light

No more hiding away in your apex again
Not when spending your days as a slave is near an end
I promise this, I vow to set you free
You are the answer, you are my legacy

5. Return to Me

Return what you have taken from me
Rightfully mine, I will not allow this, thief
Think you know this weapon in your hands?
You are a fool, I am his only command
Attack! My boys are coming for you
Try as you might, you can't escape your doom
I am alpha, rule absolute
Think you can win? I know you only can lose

Now behold my finest hour, ultimate power
All the universe is mine
Wind and water, earth and fire

And so, you see how futile the fight
This is the end, why do you even try?
Kneel before me, swear to obey
And I'll let you live, serve for eternity

Now behold my finest hour
Assured victory, ultimate power
All the universe is mine
To control, to define

No son, you can not run, I'll find you
No matter how far you fly
Hear me, fear me
I'll follow you for all of time

Now behold my finest hour, ultimate power
Now behold my finest hour, ultimate power
All the universe is mine
Wind and water, earth and fire

6. Soulbound

We race around the melted char
Of what was once a neutron star
And use the gravity to whip
Us into dark galactic rifts
Yet still somehow we can't escape
They have no flaw, they feel no pain
These twisted shadows of the men I once condemned

(We can) Why do you seek us
(See right) You won't defeat us
(Through you) Turn around while you can

(Your soul) Try to remember
(Is ours) Why you defend her
(This time) Shatter the master plan

Soulbound; endlessly, forever
Locked between the darkness and the light
Don't drown in the swarming blackened rising
Hold on to humanity and fight

Tormented by the tethering
Of souls to phantoms that remain
These spectres seem devoid of life
But there is something in their eyes
Refuse to see they can't be saved
I push to pull them from the grave
End their addiction to the thrall
Once and for all

But who am I to be their saviour
Slave to time
When I am doomed to be in chains
For all my life

Soulbound; endlessly, forever
Locked between the darkness and the light
Don't drown in the swarming blackened rising
Hold on to humanity and fight

7. Faster than Light

Once more we're flying fast as light
Dark matter passing in the night
Pursued by a force we can't outrun
As we hurtle towards a dying sun

We maneuver through the remnants of a moon on the solar winds of supernovas
There is not a place to hide, the Matriarch is close behind, it's plain to see she's coming for us all

Fly till the stars collide, till we live or die
Faster than ever before
Fly to forget your past, to move on at last
Fly on and forever more
Faster than light

Still farther and beyond we race
Into the outer reach of space
Through systems I will never know
And yet still we have nowhere to go

As the planets shatter right before my eyes there's no turning back, she's already here
Stare into infinity, and know that time is short for me, I can't deny she's coming for us all

Why do I not turn and fight? And see if I somehow might, set myself free
Why do I feel so alive? As if suddenly I somehow find, I'm where I should be?

Finally, I feel I can face up to all that I've done and become something more

Fly till the stars collide, till I live or die
Faster than ever before
Fly to forgive my past, to move on at last
Fly on and forever more
Fly till the stars collide, till I live or die
Faster than ever before
Fly to forgive my past, to move on at last
Fly on and forever more
Faster than light

8. The Wind That Shapes the Land

Somehow how I find myself standing on the edge of
Something that I desperately need
From this moment I will not be the same
No more crying for the things I can't change

Here I will put this tale to rest
Finish what I started long ago
And though it may not be the ending I wish
Only victory can bring me home

Come, I won't wait for long
I was never your
Slave for all eternity
And now here we stand, face-to-face

Feel the ground
Crashing all around
Fight to fan the flame
Ignite the battle rage
Tear the sky
Watch the boulders fly
As the mountainscape
Crumbles in her wake

So, you've come to prove yourself
Despite the lies you tell
You know you won't prevail
And I, most powerful of all
Have come to see you fall
You'll find no mercy here

Search within
Uncover the will to win
Turn against the tide that washes o'er
Find the strength
To fall and rise again
Open up the gates, unleash the force

I am the wind that shapes the land
Old as time and twice as strong
Oceans arise at my command
I alone can carry on

To break her chains

Forward I push on into the storm surrounding me
I await her strike
Could it be she's reached the pinnacle now

Silence as I stand within the eye
In this hurricane of her design
And watch as I drain the light from inside
Now at last I see what must be done and so I fly

Firm within my grasp I hold the spark and shatter it
See her eyes go dark
Could it be I've finally won the war now

I see the clouds are gone
The storm that raged is quiet once again
I feel the stars above
Shining on the fragments that remain

Search within
Uncover the will to win
Turn against the tide that washes o'er
Find the strength
To fall and rise again
Open up the gates, unleash the force

I am the wind that shapes the land
Old as time and twice as strong
Oceans arise at my command
I alone can carry on

No, what is this I see
Broken before me
Once again I pay the price
I've nothing without sacrifice

9. Carry the Flame

All the time we had is wasted and gone
And all I ask is one moment more
Hold fast onto that flickering flame
Or tell me what has all this been for

But I need you to remember
The power was in you all along

You must remain despite all the pain
And bring hope to those who have none
Promise me you will be the one

My guiding light
Fire in the night
I am with you, wherever you are
Your guiding light, shining bright

At last this aching comes to an end
And finally I can set you free
You will be the one to carry the flame
Tell me that you'll do this for me

But how can I remember
When the power came from you all along

And I can't deny that your strength is mine
And without you all would be lost
I can't bear to ever go on

My guiding light
Fire in the night
I am with you, wherever you are
Your guiding light, shining bright

My guiding light
Fire in the night
I am with you, wherever you are
Your guiding light, shining bright

My guiding light
Fire in the night
I am with you, wherever you are
Your guiding light, shining bright

My guiding light
Fire in the night
I am with you, wherever you are
Your guiding light, shining bright

10. Afterlife

Facing the glory open before me
Millions of light-years to roam
For once in my life the journey is mine
And I don't know which way to go
Breaking the curse has given me purpose
Charging into the unknown
Choosing to right the wrongs far behind
And forging a path of my own

But with such power, think how you could rule
Hold to your promise to watch over those in despair
Why would you choose to serve when you could be master of all
Be true to your honour and fight for a world that is fair

Out of shadow, out of darkness
Welcome to the light
As the day shines boldly over night
Follow me to finally be who you are inside
Open wide, embrace the afterlife

Don't waste your chance to seek revenge at last
I won't waste my freedom
Vengeance will not make me whole
Fight back you fool
Make them pay for transgressions past
Fear not your anger
Use it to rise up and free your soul

Out of shadow, out of darkness
Welcome to the light
As the day shines boldly over night
Follow me to finally be who you are inside
Open wide, embrace the afterlife
