What hope has this alliance
If we cannot conquer
Doubt of faith not each other
If our belief should falter?
But put an ear to the stones
Of this holy city
Inside their voices echo still
Seven rings begin the journey!
Seven rings begin the journey!
This is not your grave, but you’re welcome in it.
This is not your grave, but you’re welcome in it.
No vengeance, no plague. Only unity
Why question, why fight. Live in purity
I am peace, a timeless chorus
A sweet unity of purpose
A sweet unity
This one is machine and nerve and has it’s mind concluded
This one is but flesh and faith and is the more deluded
I? I am the monument to all your sins
This is not your grave, but you’re welcome in it.
This is not your grave, but you’re welcome in it.
No vengeance, no plague. Only unity
Why question, why fight. Live in purity
I am peace, a timeless chorus
A sweet unity
Silence fills the empty grave
Now that I have come
But my mind is not at rest
As for questions linger on
I am not your enemy
I am peace
I am salvation
I? I am the monument to all of your sins
I? I am the monument to all of your sins

Man About Town

For every choice there is an echo
With each act we change the world
Would you choose paradise or perdition?
You had it tattooed inside my head?
Every memory, every last thread?
Bound by chains, I do not yet see
A slave for the request, would you kindly?
Bread to sleepwalk through life
I choose more
I choose the impossible
I choose rapture.
We all make choices,
But in the end our choices make us.
The streets were paved with gold
only anarchy left to behold,
"Now there's nothing left to behold"
"Just anarchy left to behold"
"Now they’re rusted, dark and old"
We’re buried, deep under water
Little sister, I’m here to save you
I’m here to save you.
I will be your rapture
How ironic this city was founded on choice
When free will here, has no voice
I see the ghosts of the past
The suppressed and the outcast
A flawed mantra since this all began
No gods or kings. Only man.
My strength is not in steel and fire!
That is what the parasites will never understand.
There’s a time to live and a time to die
A time to build, and a time to destroy.
The streets were paved with gold
In the end, their minds you controlled
We’re buried, deep under water
Little sister, I’m here to save you
We’re buried deep under water
Deep under water
Little sister, I’m here to save you
In the end, what separates a man from a slave?
Money?
Power?
No a man chooses.
A slave obeys.
The life you stole from them I will return
Giving them the one thing you wouldn’t, a chance!
A chance to learn
To find love
And, to live
A chance to learn
To find love
And, to live

Tempest
It’s only after we’ve lost everything
That we’re free to do anything
But do we have free will,
Or is our path set?
I don’t believe in destiny,
There’s no control in that life
Does the walker choose the path?
Or the path the walker?
It’s not in the stars to hold our destiny
But in ourselves.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire
We know what we are,
But know not what we may be.
You’ve been created to make a difference
You have within you the power to change the world
Long have I waited for the calm
The weightlessness of being
The silent cleanse
But there was none to be had
And much less to be given
Perhaps I have always been the storm.
When the tempest rages
When the thunders roar and the lightning blaze
Around us the truly brave stand firm
I would turn back time
I would change the world
I’ll sacrifice it all just for you
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire
We know what we are,
But know not what we may be.
You can’t change what people are
Without destroying who they were
Without destroying who they were
The wings of a butterfly
Wash over me
I see through the storm
Like a perfect memory
I wish I could stay in this moment forever
But then It wouldn’t be a moment.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire
Who favour fire
I wish I could stay in this moment for ever
Without destroying who you were
You can’t change what people are
Without destroying who they were

Hostile Work Environment
I’d like to tell you about a dream I had last night,
In my dream they broken free of this prison, this house.
At first many people thought it was horrifying.
But also many people wanted to welcome it in.
You called me, so here I am.
I know I shut you out sometimes
I’m always glad to hear from you.
(Chorus)
I can’t feel you anymore
I can’t feel, I can’t feel
Without you, my mentor
I can’t heal, I can’t heal
You have always been here, the only child.
The picture is you holding the picture
When you hear this you will know you're in new you.
You want to listen.
You want to dream.
You want to smile
You want to hurt.
You don’t want to be
(Chorus)
I can’t feel you anymore
I can’t feel, I can’t feel
Without you, my mentor
I can’t heal, I can’t heal
A whisper in your ear
Like poison gas leaking in
That was, horror
You can’t let this happen
You can’t let this happen
Out of me
You can’t let this happen
You can’t let this happen
Out of me
I can’t feel you anymore
I can’t feel, I can’t feel
Without you, my mentor
I can’t heal, I can’t heal
I can’t feel you anymore
I can’t feel, I can’t feel
Without you, my mentor
I can’t heal, I can’t heal
That was horror
