1.
Too much time on our empty hands Too many hands on our empty time And all of which confuses our minds - Endless paradigm I’ve climbed up the broken stairs of our ivory tower I saw the aftermath of our shameless ways Our weak and somber truth The folly of our youth Our never-ending wars Breaking us all at our core Crave an empty physical connection To satisfy your sense of validation Crying inside Dying inside Pray for your salvation Power Desire We say: “Stand and revolt!” Packaged commodity Relinquish integrity Aberration of humanity

The hand in the sky flips the hourglass on its back Time is ending grain by grain The face in the mirror stares back at me through broken glass Revealing all of the unseen Ending the night and chasing the daylight No one in sight Lost in the night Falling, falling No one in sight Walk through the night Calling, calling A voice from the shadow side calling me to come back Empty words and broken dreams Follow the winding trail back to the sun, home at last Shinning light on the unseen Ending the night and chasing the daylight World so wide, mystified Chase the light of dawn, save our final swan World so wide, misaligned Chase the light of dawn, save our final swan World so wide, amplified Chase the light of dawn, save our final swan World so wide, purified Chase the light of dawn, save our final swan (lead: Owsin) The hand in the sky flips the hourglass on its back Ending the night and chasing the daylight

Identity 03:42
Faceless, numb, broke and torn The spark fading from our eyes Once more on our knees And keep yelling at the darkened skies For some kind of divine intervention A symbol, a sign or a sense of direction The pages history point to where we lost our senses Our lost theology and our identity crisis Tangled words, venom, lies There is no judge there waiting Open eyes now mystified Callous hearts pulsating What cannot be hidden from youth; The sun, the moon and the blinding truth A colourless portrait showing our identity Talking heads arguing over our rights and sovereignty Nature red tooth and claw The paradox of our time Crawl on wounded knees And still cry out at the darkened skies For some kind of divine intervention A symbol, a sign or a sense of direction Clashing magnets of life’s polarity Fighting for our identity

Soliloquy 02:10
Let it go now...
5.
Stepping to the unknown one more time Knowing what it is you are leaving behind Walking through the doorway one more time Knowing what you’re hoping to find Burn your wings with the flame of the sun Spiral down and touch the ground And when you’re weary of hesitation Let go of control and start a new creation Walk the line between the fair the unkind I saw the hesitation in your stride Paint the world outside your mind And see through the eyes that once were blind Fly and rise above the sky Learn and never again burn! (Lead: Toño)

Silence 06:15
The final sovereign is gone And the ways of the kingdom rejected Erase all the lines that were drawn And all that we’ve left divided Incantations of their greed Fragmented and misguided And where is the world that we thought we’d inherit, The guerdon of glorious merit? Listen to them preach of murder Listen to them preach of genocide The faultiness of our unity Crack with each complacency The final act on this stage And the closing of our age And who is this son that is supposed to save us? Disciples here left to enslave us It’s the same old story that we’ve made Just the names and faces have been changed Life beyond the end of life…
7.
Vacuous 08:49
Riding shotgun on this bullet train to save what’s left of the dignity of men Tear asunder, run for cover Keep the course and come back to wonder Turn Turn on the sound On the answers that refuse to be found Emotional vapidity Spiritual bankruptcy Vanity and mental vacuity Sailing this ghost ship towards eternity And death is merely just a drop of water merging with the eternal sea The story is long and the picture is clear A heroes tale and a jesters tear Take the truth and break it open Nature to repair what we have broken (Lead: Cory) Love, thrill, joy, light Fear, sadness, night Love, thrill, joy, light Fear, sadness, night - Unite Dismay - Delight (Lead: Oswin)

“In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.”
