Big Evil
Through the forests of temptation
Moving south of heaven in search of you
Seeking the truth
Crossing seas of desperation
Facing sin, I see a big evil in you
Trying to tear apart my faith
My love is all I have left to give to you
You say that you need me, but deeds betray a lie
Darkness comes and shadows the grace between us
How can we find our way, with our hearts straining for truth?
Incantations of frustration
Reigning down and washing away the truth buried in you
Struggling through winds of turmoil
Grappling the demons inside of you
Trying to eat away our hearts
Our love is fading far away into netherworld
You say that you love me, but deeds betray a lie
Darkness choking out the life between us
How can we live this way, with our hearts now turned to stone?
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go and fade away
These seeds are sown
Cast the stone
Let it go and fade away from me
Our journey is over... it ended in a tragedy
You pray for forgiveness, but deeds betray a lie
Betrayal has severed the life between us, now I must walk away
I choose unforgiveness this day
Forgiving you is not the only way

Callisto
The sky is painted dark with destiny
Stars illuminate the path that's forced in front of me
My life has turned into a shattered symphony
Playing nightmare dirges that bespeak a grim reality
Who are you to take away my innocence?
Who are you to tear away my freedom?
This abomination is mine to atone
How am I to blame for your atrocities?
Seeds of abhorrence are now planted inside of me
I'll cast away the shame and leave it far behind
Purify your hatred with my unrelenting love for life
Who are you to take away my innocence?
Who are you to tell me how to decide?
This responsibility is mine alone
You and I are bonded together
By the blood -- we're one in the same
I'll fight for you -- be a voice for you
Although conceived through fear and hatred
I embrace you with my love and guidance
And I promise -- you will have a chance to live your life
Who are you to take away my innocence?
Who are you to tell me how to decide?
This responsibility is mine alone
And I've made my decision
I choose life

One Last Drop
All these signs, they tell me it's time to make a change
But I don't believe them
Maybe it's time to standup and take a chance
But I am so weary
The pages are turning much too fast
Alone I can see this
It's time to tear away at the past
Alone I must know this
Give me one last drop and I'll change
And then I'll prove to myself that I can survive
And live for tomorrow
The pages are turning much too fast
Alone I must feel this
It's time to tear away at the past
Alone I must heal this
Sleepless nights are awaiting me
As I dig within and ready myself
For the healing and the pain
This purification will finally set me free
All this time I've wasted is now in the past
The pages are burning
Now I must prove to you that I have changed for good
I'll show by my actions
The pages are burning in the past
Alone I can see this
It's time to learn and grow from the past
I know I can do this
Through the years of our lives
We make decisions that fail,
But we must move forward and grow on
And learn from our mistakes
Grow on and learn from my mistakes
Grow on and learn from your mistakes

Tumbling
Breathing life into the landscape,
But tearing the canvas into pieces
You're tumbling between two sides of being
Light in one hand, darkness in the other
Time to unleash the beast that's burning in you
Then show your face gleaming so true
I can see the real you shining through
Sailing right into the seascape
But sinking as our hopes are lifted
You're tumbling between the depths and heavens
Life on one side, death is on the other
Time to unleash the beast that's burning in you
Then show your face gleaming so true
I can see the real you shining through
It's okay to be the real you
It's okay -- I'll love you just the same
We share this troubled world of empty promise
And unconditional misery
Playing notes into the soundscape
But twisting the melody into disharmony
You're tumbling between opposing forces
Chaos seeks to undermine the order
Time to unleash the beast that's burning in you
Then show your face gleaming so true
I can see the real you shining through

Windows
Silently I justify the ways
That all of this could be made right
All these windows are open to me
Purity opposed by the night
I reach through to the other side
Guided by the muse of game
Renouncing the virtues of light
Unchained and free to walk away
Fallen to the earth
Benighted by leaves of decay
Lost, wandering
Searching far away, but looking back
At these windows beckoning to me
Freedom serves a mistress in black
Paralyzed in the other side
Blinded by the fuse of shame
Beseeching the virtues of light
Imprisoned for this selfish gain
Swallowed by the earth
Drowning in self-righteous pain
Suddenly awake and free to move
I am cleansed by clarity's gaze
All these windows offer hope to me
Fuel that sets the darkness ablaze
I walk through from the other side
Reignite the inner flame
Embracing the virtues of light
These scars remind me to remain
Grounded to the earth
Integrity set to obtain... self-preserving reign

Reflections
Breathing life and nurtured from birth
But we're blind to the way
Place me on your shoulders and promise you'll show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Breathing, Thriving
Aren't we the same?
Passion, Virtue
Show me the way
Patience, Reason
Show me the way
Beneath the skin aren't we the same?
Protection, guidance and paragon
Teach me to rise through adversity
These things I expect of you
Stand up and lay down your prejudice
Raise high the flag of diversity
These things I demand of you
We are a product and a reflection of our environment
We are ultimately responsible for the existence and forward progression of the next generation
We are human... and as human beings we have the right and the ability to live to our lives to the fullest potential

Gods of Summer
We wallow under clouded skies again
Rain keeps falling down
Weeping Willow hides
Will we ever see the sunshine again?
We protest from the pools of hell again
Aeromancer cries
Gods of summer rise
Draw the symbols, middle eye, chant the lines
Feed the sword and call forth the minions of summer
(You'll do as I say)
You'll do just as I say
(Dry up, clear the skies)
Dry up and clear the skies
(Bring forth age of warmth)
Bring forth the age of warmth
(Sunshine evermore)
Let the sun reign evermore
We'll walk beneath the summer skies again
We'll drive beneath the summer skies again

Drowning In Circles
This plight was unforeseeable
The waves of dread rise
I feel it surging
Feel it taking control
How can I lead a normal life?
My mind's unstable
I feel like hiding
Shutting the darkness away
You see me falling over the edge
And I'm spinning out of control
You see me sinking under the surface now
And I'm drowning in circles
The cure is unreliable
To numb the masses
And be like they are
Be like the walking undead
Why can't I find another way?
Frustration rising
I feel like fighting
Thrashing the darkness away
You see me falling over the edge
And I'm spinning out of control
You see me sinking under the surface now
And I'm drowning in circles
Malicious cycles take hold
Why can't I drive them away???
This burthen shroud intends to end me
The walls of darkness close in
I need something, someone to save me
I can't do this by myself
You see me falling over the edge
And I'm spinning out of control
You see me sinking under the surface now
And I'm drowning in circles

Liche
I was afraid of this
Why'd I leave you all alone?
I was afraid of this
I knew by your hellish gaze
You've disowned your sense of reason
Dancing with the reaper into despair
(Into despair)
I saw you turn today
Into a liche
I was afraid I'd find
Stench of darkness guiding me
I was afraid of finding
You rendered into a corpse
Phantom skin and barely breathing
White and dismal eyes are threatening demise
Threatening demise
I saw you turn today
Into a liche
When the moon rises above
Your soul will be cast away
Into a plane otherworldly
In a dreaded shroud of non-existence
I was afraid of dying
When I walked into your void
I was afraid of death
When I felt your cold embrace
I was pulled into your center
Orbiting a fragile life in decay
(Life in decay)
I saw you turn today
Into a liche
When the moon rises above
Your soul will be cast away
Into a plane otherworldly
In a dreaded shroud of non-existence

Gift
Your sense of balance is breaking again
Falling toward the bitter end
I reach out for you to take my hand
And wait for your embrace
Take this gift and wash away the blame
Just take my hand and walk with me today
Your eyes are blurred with unsettled torment
Clouded waters of repent
I've forgiven you
So take my hand and walk the tides in grace
Take this gift and wash away the shame
Just take my hand and walk with me today
Take this gift and wash away the pain
Just take my hand and walk in peace today

The Seventh Tenet
They are the ones
Born from the seeds of the earth
They strive to live their lives their way
Except for the ones
The ones who have gone astray
They'll try to take our lives away
Violence inside us so natural
Violence inside us so raw
Violence inside us for our survival
Raise your arms and defend
They are the ones
The wretched scorn of the earth
They strive to plant the seeds of hate
Destroy all the ones
For them the hour is late
They'll take our lives and harness fate
Violence inside us so natural
Violence inside us so raw
Violence inside us for our survival
Raise your arms and defend
This struggle carries on and will never end
Violence in me
Violence in you
Violence to quash pusillanimity
Violence in me
Violence in you
Violence to help preserve our liberty
