Track Lyrics

Dark Lyrics

[Instrumental]

[Background voice]

When you have certain experiences

We respond with various emotions

Stimulus responses

Just as this is stimulus

Produces this sort of involuntary muscle response

Well, that’s a rather simplified suggestion

Of a complex mental process

But you get the idea

Cause, Effect

Nature endows us at birth with three general patterns of emotional response

Rage...is the response to the primary stimulus of thwarting

Something interfering with our behavior, our action

Fear...is the response to loud noises, or loss of support

And the emotional response to love

Is usually the result of a show of affection, or favors

(Instrumental)

The primary stimulus of thwarting

Something interfering with our...behavior, our actions

Fear is the response to loud noises, or loss of support

Thank you

Failure Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Life will come our way

It has only just begun

The world will die alone

The frail will fall below

Time will take our place

We return it back to one

The calm before the cold

The long and lonely road

[Pre-Chorus]

Look for the light that leads me home

[Chorus]

Tired of feeling lost

Tired of letting go

Tear the whole world down

Failure

[Verse 2]

Drive the cloud away

We will fall from last to none

The dark before the dawn

The war will carry on

[Pre-Chorus]

Look for the light that leads me home

[Chorus]

Tired of feeling lost

Tired of letting go

Tear the whole world down

Tired of wasted breath

Tired of nothing left

Tear the whole world down

Failure

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

Tired of feeling lost

Tired of letting go

Tear the whole world down

Tired of wasted breath

Tired of nothing left

Tear the whole world down

[Outro]

We bury the sunlight (So long)

Failure (So long)

We bury the sunlight (So long)

Failure (So long)

Failure

Angels Fall Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I try to face the fight within

But it's over

I'm ready for the riot to begin

And surrender

I walked the path that led me to the end

Remember

I'm caught beneath with nothing left to give, forever

[Chorus]

When angels fall with broken wings

I can't give up, I can't give in

When all is lost and daylight ends

I'll carry you and we will live forever

Forever

[Verse 2]

Gray skies will chase the light away

No longer

I fought the fight, now only dark remains

Forever

Divided, I will stand

And I will let this end

[Chorus]

When angels fall with broken wings

I can't give up, I can't give in

When all is lost and daylight ends

I'll carry you and we will live forever

Forever

[Bridge]

The sun begins to rise

And wash away the sky

The turning of the tide

Don't leave it all behind

And I will never say goodbye

[Chorus]

When angels fall with broken wings

I can't give up, I can't give in

When all is lost and daylight ends

I'll carry you and we will live forever

[Outro]

Forever

Breaking the Silence Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'll keep my sights on a waking dream

I gave my life to the vile beneath

I am but one of a dying breed

Hate kills this world, but it won't kill me

[Chorus]

Wake up the victim of violence

Shut the breath of the lifeless

I'm breaking the silence

I'm falling apart for you

Wake up the victim of violence

Shut the breath of the lifeless

I'm chasing the righteous

Becoming a part of you

[Verse 2]

Fake, plastic life, full of wasted years

Love lost inside diabolic fear

I feel no fault for the fault I feel

Hope drains this world, but it won't drain me

[Chorus]

Wake up the victim of violence

Shut the breath of the lifeless

I'm breaking the silence

I'm falling apart for you

Wake up the victim of violence

Shut the breath of the lifeless

I'm chasing the righteous

Becoming a part of you

[Breakdown]

Run

[Chorus]

Wake up the victim of violence

Shut the breath of the lifeless

I'm breaking the silence

I'm falling apart for you

Wake up the victim of violence

Shut the breath of the lifeless

I'm chasing the righteous

Becoming a part of you

[Outro]

I'm breaking the silence

I'm falling down with you

Hollow Lyrics

[Intro]

Stay alive

Heaven holds a place for us tonight

I am paralyzed

[Verse 1]

Close your eyes

Drive away the cloud that hides the light

And leave the pain behind

Dead alive, find a way to bury all the lies

Escape the pain inside

‘Cause I don’t want to fall or let you go

[Chorus]

Love left me hollow

I’m with you in the end

Cold, crippled, and shallow

Don’t leave me here again

[Verse 2]

Fruit of life

I can hear the voices of the hive

Chemicals collide

Loaded smile

Light the way for those you left behind

Set the earth on fire

‘Cause I don’t want enough

I want it all

[Chorus]

Love left me hollow

I’m with you in the end

Cold, crippled, and shallow

Don’t leave me here again

I can’t go on

You are bound to break me in

I come undone

As you drag me down again

[Instrumental]

[Breakdown]

I come undone

[Chorus]

Love left me hollow

I’m with you in the end

Cold, crippled, and shallow

Don’t leave me here again

I can’t go on

You are bound to break me in

I come undone

As you drag me down again

Close to Heaven Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Pain

Come alive

I try to breathe

Shade my eyes

Follow the damned

I have lost the way again

[Verse 2]

Stay

Trust in life

Carried beneath

Dead arise

Sorrow avenged

I will face the weak within

[Chorus]

So I'll stay unforgiven

And I'll keep love together

And I'll be yours forever

I'll sleep close to heaven

[Verse 3]

Hate

Lost inside

I dare to dream

Faithless lies

Caught in the web

I will face the weak within

[Chorus]

So I'll stay unforgiven

And I'll keep love together

And I'll be yours forever

I'll sleep close to heaven

[Post-Chorus]

Love

[Bridge]

I'm coming home

Release me, my love

[Chorus]

So I'll stay unforgiven

And I'll keep love together

And I'll be yours forever

I'll sleep close to heaven

[Outro]

I'll sleep close to heaven

Bury Me Alive Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I keep falling out of line

I was drained and left behind

All will fade and petrify

Feed the hate and starve the lies

[Pre-Chorus]

Falling in between

I am caught beneath

[Chorus]

Light the way and let me go

Suffocate inside

I will break and watch you crawl

Bury me alive

[Verse 2]

I keep falling out of time

I was blamed and cauterized

All will change and calcify

Feed the hate and starve the lies

[Pre-Chorus]

Falling in between

I am caught beneath

[Chorus]

Light the way and let me go

Suffocate inside

I will break and watch you crawl

Bury me alive

[Bridge]

Control!

Lies inside

[Chorus]

Light the way and let me go

Suffocate inside

I will break and watch you crawl

Bury me alive

Light the way and let me go

Suffocate inside

I will break and watch you crawl

Bury me alive

[Outro]

Bury me alive!

Never Again Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Carry me under

Leave me abandoned

Show me what's left

Beautiful anger

Breaking the pattern

Show me what's left

[Chorus]

Take the color from your eyes

I bleed for you

Bring the broken back to life

We'll make it through

[Verse 2]

Empty and perfect

Shattered and worthless

Show me what's left

Dragging me further

Forget to remember

Show me what's left

[Chorus]

Take the color from your eyes

I bleed for you

Bring the broken back to life

We'll make it through

[Bridge]

Never again

Time will not take the life from me

Never again

Time will not take the life from me

[Verse 3]

And after this world is out of reach

Sober and silent, fading and violent

Hopeless, I fight to fall between

Never surrender, out of the embers

So, save a space inside for me

[Chorus]

Take the color from your eyes

I bleed for you

Bring the broken back to life

We'll make it through

[Outro]

Never again

Time will not take the life from me

Never again

Time will not take the life from me

The Great Divide Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Carry me all through the night

I am the last light fading

Leave all the lost souls behind

Show me the silence breaking

And when you're lost and out of time

I will be right here waiting

And when your dreams return to life

I'll be forever fading

And we'll fall behind

[Chorus]

So I'll wait for you

As I keep your faith alive

And I'll pray for you

As we cross the great divide

[Verse 2]

Bury the wounds deep inside

Rupture the fault line breaking

Dream of the world left behind

Show us we're worth forsaking

And when the cold begins to rise

Darkness is overtaking

And when the fear is satisfied

I'll be forever changing

As we all arise

[Chorus 2]

So I'll wait for you

As I keep your faith alive

And I'll pray for you

As we cross the great divide

And I'll break for you

As I open up the sky

And I'll stay for you

As we cross the great divide

[Bridge]

Follow the sunlight down

Cry clear and loud

Heaven won't help us now

But it's better this way

Warm light wash me away

[Chorus 2]

So I'll wait for you

As I keep your faith alive

And I'll pray for you

As we cross the great divide

And I'll break for you

As I open up the sky

And I'll stay for you

As we cross the great divide

Ashes of Eden Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Will the faithful be rewarded

When we come to the end?

Will I miss the final warning

From the lie that I have lived?

Is there anybody calling?

I can see the soul within

And I am not worthy

I am not worthy of this

[Pre-Chorus]

Are you with me after all?

Why can't I hear you?

Are you with me through it all?

Then why can't I feel you?

[Chorus]

Stay with me, don't let me go

Because there's nothing left at all

Stay with me, don't let me go

Until the ashes of Eden fall

[Verse 2]

Will the darkness fall upon me

When the air is growing thin?

Will the light begin to pull me

To its everlasting will?

I can hear the voices haunting

There is nothing left to fear

And I am still calling

I am still calling to you

[Pre-Chorus]

Are you with me after all?

Why can't I hear you?

Are you with me through it all?

Then why can't I feel you?

[Chorus]

Stay with me, don't let me go

Because there's nothing left at all

Stay with me, don't let me go

Until the ashes of Eden fall

[Bridge]

Don't let go, don't let go

[Outro]

Why can't I hear you?

Stay with me, don't let me go

Because there's nothing left at all

Stay with me, don't let me go

Until the ashes of Eden fall

Heaven above me

Take my hand

(Stay with me, don't let me go)

Shine until there's nothing left but you

Heaven above me

Take my hand

(Stay with me, don't let me go)

Shine until there's nothing left but you

Defeated Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Slip away, your vanity is gone

I'm falling out of place

We all fall down, the pain goes on

We bare the fruit of war

And turn the lost away

We all fall down, the pain goes on

And I'll be the fire that dries the flood

[Chorus]

As I fight for one last prayer

I keep holding on

No love to believe in

As I drag the devil down

I will stand alone

No longer defeated

[Verse 2]

Stripped away, we rise above it all

Forgotten and betrayed

We all fall down, the pain goes on

No better than before

Still broken and afraid

We all fall down, the pain goes on

And I'll be the cloud that hides the sun

[Chorus]

As I fight for one last prayer

I keep holding on

No love to believe in

As I drag the devil down

I will stand alone

No longer defeated

[Bridge]

I'm falling to pieces

Stained and used

I know what I need and it's not you

It's not you

[Chorus]

As I fight for one last prayer

I keep holding on

No love to believe in

As I drag the devil down

I will stand alone

No longer defeated

[Outro]

No longer defeated
