Trial Of Time 05:26
lyrics

Will you stand the test of time? Will you leave your past behind? Will it give you peace of mind? To look but never to find Are you even truly alive? Test yourself or move aside In this trial of time Sleep is awoken By inherent decay From our eyes evermore Dark will tear day All of forever Is a single second To seek the lifeblood we need Ocean to vapor The sands of the hourglass within Will keep running Out and it drives us To the peaks and valleys We bleed to find what we need Leave your past Or be left behind Life’s design A trial of time In this we dwell Both heaven and hell Leave not undone Before the setting sun All of forever Is a single second To seek the lifeblood we need Ocean to vapor The sands of the hourglass within Will keep running Out and it drives us To the peaks and valleys We bleed to find what we need Leave your past Or be left behind Life’s design A trial of time The early day The endless night These hours are For you to set it right Eternity Our memories In time We leave behind us The endless day The early night These hours are For you to live your fight Our final breath From dawn to death The end In time shall bind us Will you stand the test of time? Will you leave your past behind? Will it give you peace of mind? To look but never to find Are you even truly alive? Test yourself or move aside In this trial of time Sleep is awoken By inherent decay From our eyes evermore Dark will tear day All of forever Is a single second To seek the lifeblood we need Ocean to vapor The sands of the hourglass within Will keep running Out and it drives us To the peaks and valleys We bleed to find what we need Leave your past Or be left behind Life’s design A trial of time

A Vast Unknown 03:37
lyrics

Walking through a vast unknown Thousands of miles from home Sometimes it feels like There’s a new world trapped inside me There’s a lost sense of reality In a storm, made of sand That overtakes this land There’s an old world trapped outside me There’s a found sense of infinity In a storm, made of sand That overtakes this land All our lives Spent in hiding Sleeps inside me Venture forth Seek unbinding Am I dreaming? The door is now open to me I have set captives free Shining moon stares down upon me We ride into the night Set to face another fight Through this desert I will see What this life has brought onto me Knowing uncertainty We reclaim our lives in dreams Fire rains down from the sky Wakened from the endless night From depths of hell we’ve seen Comes the tide to wash us clean Now that madness you’ve felt Hours pass unknowing guilt Turning towards the glow Another world for you to go Find forever in the silence New expectations Rise forever in the wisdom Of a new day and age Find forever in the silence New expectations Rise forever in the wisdom Of a new day and age A Vast Unknown

I walk through the ages As rain pours from the sky Silent to all As the sound floods my mind I listen close Cannot run but won't hide As the storm draws near I know that I must decide is this All only pain I’m feeling Falling the skies into endless oceans Born through the ruins of a past life Don’t look to the days of an always clear sky Only in rain revealing Steeper the climb into the unknowing Out from the dirt comes new life Don’t look to the days of eternal sunlight I walk through the ages As rain pours from the sky I am silent to all As the sound floods my mind I listen close Cannot run but won't hide As the storm draws near Rain falls from a clear sky Now we’re all walking in the rain life brings Spirits consumed by the song life sings We’re all walking through the open fields Time stands still and the light is concealed We’re all walking in the rain life brings Spirits consumed by the song life sings We’re all walking through the open fields Time stands still and the light is revealed I walk through the ages As rain pours from the sky Silent to all As the sound floods my mind I listen close Cannot run but won't hide As the storm draws near I know that I must decide is this All only pain I’m feeling Falling the skies into endless oceans Born from the ruins of a past life Don’t look to the days of an always clear sky Only in rain revealing Steeper the climb into the unknowing Out from the dirt comes new life Don’t look to the days of eternal sunlight

Can’t get out of here Now you are in too deep Signed it all away Losing answers you seek Fighting enemies Those who would want you dead Feed off their lies Growing hatred from what you are fed Building on hollow dreams Silencing screams When you're lost their eyes see you through When you die their guiding hands bury you When you think their lies speak the truth When you speak their thoughts silence you When you’re lost their eyes see through you When you die their guiding hands bury you When you think their lies speak the truth When you speak their thoughts silence you Heroes you’re meant to be By way of death Take them all Your hollow dreams Find somewhere To bury them deep The end of day Fading light Led by shadows Take them all Your hollow dreams Find somewhere To bury them deep The end of day Fading light Led by shadows Into the darkest night You won't run without legs to carry you You won't cry without eyes to see You won't live without lies to bury the truth You will die for what they believe Led by shadows into the shade Now you know the price to be paid You’ve heard their call, thought you understood You’ve taken their fall, answered with your blood Shadows

Time to wake the fuck up Feel your world burn It’s your decision Rivers flow on But your world does not turn Will you Escape this old prison Reality or dream Your nightmare Everlasting, falling Into misery Now prepare To see Your demons released Inside, a fire now burns Your desire returns This life you turned away from glows With the flames Of the war that you wage It’s setting up the stage For the power once felt that you now will reclaim Only when you die for your dreams Can you finally see the truth When you wake from your sleep That is when you’ll see Your eyes opened for you Then ask yourself is this Reality or dream Your nightmare Everlasting, falling Into misery Now prepare To see Your demons released Spinning through the darkness I see a light out there Ready to leave this place Finally I prepare They’ll try to hold me back Nothing they will do can I am breaking out of this damn prison I won’t return to this machine As I regain my reality That once thought lost now returns unto me We are breaking out it’s our decision We won’t return to this machine As we regain our reality Those once called slaves now have been set free Only when you die for your dreams Can you finally see the truth When you wake from your sleep That is when you’ll see Your eyes opened for you Then ask yourself is this Reality or dream Your nightmare Everlasting, falling Into misery Now prepare To see Your demons released

All of the darkness you see Following closely your dreams Lost in the shadows you keep Hidden to your eyes it seems Break this silence Breathe the fire Wake the giants Kill the tyrant Stop the new plague Gone the magic Tame the innate Tired minds will Sink into sleep Hear the story untold No boundaries that are set Unless you forget Lost all hope it seems Forgotten all your dreams Into the swamps you go Your life filled with sorrow You see his brightened eyes An agent of demise The blackened beast inside From emptiness you hide Hearing not your song The nothing lives on Death is not the end you need fear Nothing is that which draws near As your world fades the end comes faster Speak your voice before disaster Silences infinity A grain of sand is now all that's left Of the world you once cherished Your sky falls until your dreams are found And their voice is the sound Determining your destiny If nothing never was Then would you believe Your mind can set you free So your world will not be Gone for all eternity They will hold you down To keep you on the ground Forever nothing shall be Until you do what you dream Create a new reality The hand that's good and strong Could not right this wrong The warrior so brave From nothing can't be saved Into the swamps you go Your life filled with sorrow You see his brightened eyes An agent of demise The blackened beast inside From emptiness you hide Hearing not your song The nothing lives on Death is not the end you need fear Nothing is that which draws near As your world fades the end comes faster Speak your voice before disaster Silences infinity A grain of sand is now all that's left Of the world you once cherished Your sky falls until your dreams are found And their voice is the sound Determining your destiny If nothing never was Then would you believe Your mind can set you free So your world will not be Gone for all eternity They will hold you down To keep you on the ground Forever nothing shall be Until you do what you dream Create a new reality Living in despair So why should you care Your world shakes in fear And soon you’ll disappear Do you understand? The power in your hands You have chosen a name Now call it out again Death is not the end you need fear Nothing is that which draws near As your world fades the end comes faster Speak your voice before disaster Silences infinity A grain of sand is now all that's left Of the world you once cherished Your sky falls until your dreams are found And their voice is the sound Determining your destiny If nothing never was Then would you believe Your mind can set you free So your world will not be Gone for all eternity They will hold you down To keep you on the ground Forever nothing shall be Until you do what you dream Create a new reality

Speak to me You will believe Reality Is not what you see Hidden close But never revealed Stay away From what is concealed Come with me Come feel disaster Always there I'm running faster Cast a stone At the towering one Can it be? That this battle is done I awake in the garden of life So why am I afraid? Fear hold me in your arms Fall away and fear harm Listen close to what you say Love your words and throw them away Hidden here is where I stay In the dark beneath the day Speak to me You will believe Reality Is not what you see Hidden close But never revealed Stay away From what is concealed Come with me Come feel disaster Always here I'm running faster Sun is bright On the path I follow Yet beneath A ground so hollow Waiting for a dawning light Holding on to the endless night I am lost in a crowded place Wear the mask upon my face Listen close to what you say Love your words and throw them away Hidden here is where I stay In the dark beneath the day Always watching the betrayer Or the face of unknown danger Tell me I should follow your lead I'll agree and take my own path I am king In this world Of sorrows I am free Here in this lonely cage Dare to seek Live to find Before you Die to hide What keeps you ever blind inside Find a place with a silent sky Beneath the surface I will lie Kill the truth a mind's disguise Bittersweet this pain inside Listen close to what you say Love your words and throw them away Hidden here is where I stay In the dark beneath the day

Once I’ve felt your hatred A curse my eyes doomed to see Now I welcome this gift You bestowed upon me Forged in fires of vengeance Molded from anger's clay Risen from the ruins You have paved the way for Eternal solace Unbroken promise So glad to see you Can’t wait to meet again Darkest days Drift away In the wake Left to fade Darkest days Drift away In the wake Left to take on the legions of My mind fortress My mind fortress You built the foundation Of what you cannot break My mind fortress My mind fortress You give blood enough for This black heart on this day That once thought so hopeless Now inspires That once filled with anguish Now desires Tear away at clouds hiding the golden sun Brace yourself because the damage is done Once I’ve felt your hatred A curse my eyes doomed to see Now I welcome this gift You bestowed upon me Forged in fires of vengeance Molded from anger's clay Risen from the ruins You have paved the way for Eternal solace Unbroken promise So glad to see you Can’t wait to meet again Darkest days Drift away In the wake Left to fade Darkest days Drift away In the wake Left to take on the legions of My mind fortress My mind fortress You built the foundation Of what you cannot break My mind fortress My mind fortress You give blood enough for This black heart on this day

All That you could ever see All that you could ever feel Within your own lifetime Will become Real Sow the seeds Unknown deeds All that you can now believe Find the key Make your dream Last for all eternity Finally Sent into infinity Broken chains surround me Open door Ending war What will be and Was before Forevermore you are set free Hide away Price to pay Eternity or one more day Waiting here What is near? Just a nameless fear A distant past What will last? Between forever and infinity Sent from pain, sent by me, sent for all eternity Try to run, try to hide, to escape what we’ve denied Fight them hard, fight them well Free ourselves and break their spell For all eternity Look across vast horizons Look into the light that brightens To this land once long forgotten You shall rise Sow the seeds Know their deeds All that you can now believe Find the key Make your dream Last for all eternity Finally Sent into infinity Broken chains surround me Open door Ending war What will be and Was before Will last for all eternity Finally Sent into infinity Broken chains surround me Open door Ending war What will be and Was before Forevermore you are set free
