Cascading waves of change
The future we think to be inconsequential, can effect the future indefinitely
Once you had the power to effect monumental change, would you let fear consume?
Or would you overcome?
We sent a message into the past, a warning...
We have that message
Though this story is not inevitable, and a society does evolve.
We can change our fate,
We can change the future,
We can change the past.

Down With The Fallen
Tired eyes, barely open
Crippled by a promise broken
I have seen an empire falling
Hopeless, can you hear me calling?
Turn away from all that I know
Burning this bridge behind me
Light the way and I'll follow
Where you go
Can you tell me what is real?
Cause I've lost my way again
Can you tell me how to feel?
Cause I don't feel anything
Now that I'm down here again
I'm down with the fallen again
Searching through the darkness below
For a light in seas of shadows
Far from you, but I could never
Abdicate, I'll fight forever
Turn away from all that I know
Burning this bridge behind me
Light the way and I'll follow
Where you go
Can you tell me what is real?
Cause I've lost my way again
Can you tell me how to feel?
Cause I don't feel anything
Now that I'm down here again
I'm down with the fallen again
I will not run
I will not fall
I will not bury it
This is war!!!!
War!!!!
This is war!!!!
War!!!!
Tell me what is real?
Cause I've lost my way again
Can you tell me how to feel?
Cause I don't feel anything
Now that I'm down here
Tell me what is real?
Cause I've lost my way again
Can you tell me how to feel?
Cause I don't feel anything
Now that I'm down here again
I'm down with the fallen again
Ooooo
Crippled by a promise broken
I have seen an empire falling
Hopeless, can you hear me calling?
Turn away from all that I know
Burning this bridge behind me
Light the way and I'll follow
Where you go
Can you tell me what is real?
Cause I've lost my way again
Can you tell me how to feel?
Cause I don't feel anything
Now that I'm down here again
I'm down with the fallen again
Searching through the darkness below
For a light in seas of shadows
Far from you, but I could never
Abdicate, I'll fight forever
Turn away from all that I know
Burning this bridge behind me
Light the way and I'll follow
Where you go
Can you tell me what is real?
Cause I've lost my way again
Can you tell me how to feel?
Cause I don't feel anything
Now that I'm down here again
I'm down with the fallen again
I will not run
I will not fall
I will not bury it
This is war!!!!
War!!!!
This is war!!!!
War!!!!
Tell me what is real?
Cause I've lost my way again
Can you tell me how to feel?
Cause I don't feel anything
Now that I'm down here
Tell me what is real?
Cause I've lost my way again
Can you tell me how to feel?
Cause I don't feel anything
Now that I'm down here again
I'm down with the fallen again
Ooooo

Halo
I can see you running, running
Every night from the same darkness
It's coming, coming
But you are not alone
If you just say the word
I'll be there by your side
You make me more
You make me superhuman
And if you need me to
I will save you
Send out the signal and I'll fly low
If it means the death of me, I won't let go
And if I'm lost in the world's shadows
I'll use the light that comes to me
From your halo
(your halo)
(halo)
When you're backed against the wall
I could be the one who's always there to break your fall
You are not alone
You're the sun, you're the day
The light that guides me through
Never run, run away
I will save you
Send out the signal and I'll fly low
If it means the death of me, I won't let go
And if I'm lost in the world's shadows
I'll use the light that comes to me
From your halo
Send out the signal and I'll fly low
If it means the death of me, I won't let go
And if I'm lost in the world's shadows
I'll use the light that comes to me
From your halo
(And if I'm lost in the world's shadows)
(I'll use the light that comes to me)
From your halo
Your halo
Your halo
I won't let go
I won't let go
I won't let go
Your halo
And if I'm lost in the world's shadows
I'll use the light that comes to me
From your halo
Your halo
Your halo
Every night from the same darkness
It's coming, coming
But you are not alone
If you just say the word
I'll be there by your side

Carnivore
All my life they let me know
How far I would not go
But inside the beast still grows waiting
Chewing through the ropes
Who are you to change this world?
Silly Boy!
No one needs to hear your words.
Let it go.
Carnivore! Carnivore!
Won't you come digest me?
Take away everything I am.
Bring it to an end.
Carnivore! Carnivore!
Could you come and change me?
Take away everything I am.
Everything I am.
I will hide myself below
I'll be what you wanted
Kept inside I won't let go
'Till I burn beyond control
Who are you to change this world?
Silly Boy!
No one needs to hear your words.
Let it go.
Carnivore! Carnivore!
Won't you come digest me?
Take away everything I am.
Bring it to an end.
Make me fall. Make me bleed.
Go ahead and change me?
Take away everything I am.
Everything I am.
Never enough
(Who I am is not good enough)
Never enough
(Who I am)
Carnivore! Carnivore!
Won't you come digest me?
Take away everything I am.

Telescope
You're out there
I hear you calling from behind the star fields
I feel you
Radiating energy like eternal northern lights
Far from the sun
Where no one knows
I've watched you from
My telescope
I will travel the distance in your eyes
Interstellar light years from you
Supernova: we'll fuse when we collide
Awaking in the light of all the stars aligned
I see you
Washing over me across the sky
Overcoming
Projected on my eyes eternally
I find you in the night
Far from the sun
Where no one knows
I've watched you from
My telescope
I will travel the distance in your eyes
Interstellar light years from you
Supernova: we'll fuse when we collide
Awaking in the light of all the stars aligned
I will find you...
I will travel the distance in your eyes
Interstellar light years from you
Supernova: we'll fuse when we collide
Awaking in the light of all the stars aligned
I hear you calling from behind the star fields
I feel you
Radiating energy like eternal northern lights
Far from the sun
Where no one knows
I've watched you from
My telescope
I will travel the distance in your eyes
Interstellar light years from you
Supernova: we'll fuse when we collide
Awaking in the light of all the stars aligned
I see you

It Has Begun
Even a well lit place, can hide salvation
A map to a one man maze that never sees the sun
Where the lost are the heroes
And the thieves are left to drown
But everyone knows by now
Fairy-tales are not found
They are written in the walls
As we walk in a straight line
Down in the dirt with a landslide approaching
But nothing could ever stop us
From stealing our own place in the sun
We will face the odds against us
And run into the fear we run from
It has begun
Into the dark below
Evading shadows
Blind in a rabbit's hole
We fall beneath the earth
And watch the shell come unraveled
As the seeds begin to rise
Awaking a starlit fate as we wait in the night
It's written in the walls
As we walk in a straight line
Down in the dirt with a landslide approaching
But nothing could ever stop us
From stealing our own place in the sun
We will face the odds against us
And run into the fear we run from
It has begun
It has begun
It has begun
It has begun
It has begun
A map to a one man maze that never sees the sun
Where the lost are the heroes
And the thieves are left to drown
But everyone knows by now
Fairy-tales are not found
They are written in the walls
As we walk in a straight line
Down in the dirt with a landslide approaching
But nothing could ever stop us
From stealing our own place in the sun
We will face the odds against us
And run into the fear we run from
It has begun
Into the dark below
Evading shadows
Blind in a rabbit's hole
We fall beneath the earth
And watch the shell come unraveled
As the seeds begin to rise
Awaking a starlit fate as we wait in the night
It's written in the walls
As we walk in a straight line
Down in the dirt with a landslide approaching
But nothing could ever stop us
From stealing our own place in the sun
We will face the odds against us
And run into the fear we run from
It has begun
It has begun
It has begun
It has begun
It has begun

Antigravity
The more I fight, the more I work
The more I dig into the dirt
To be fed up, to be let down
To somehow turn it all around
But then fate knocks me to my knees
And sets new heights beyond my reach
Below the earth, below concrete
The whole world shackled to my feet
Then it falls away into the great escape
Over walls and weights
This anti-gravity taking over me
And far below, the carnivores,
are looking up to where I soar
Above the clouds, above the storm
Above the earth I am transformed
The energy has set me free
And pulled me through the galaxy
I've risen up beyond the sky
I am awake, I am alive
As it falls away into the great escape
Over walls and weights
This anti-gravity
Let it fly through the universe
Into the outer space
Over walls and weights
This anti-gravity taking over me
I won't come down
If you wanna break free
You know where to find me
If you wanna break free
You know where You know where..
If you wanna break free
You know where to find me
If you wanna break free
You know where..
As it falls away into the great escape
Over walls and weights
This anti-gravity
Let it fly through the universe
Into the outer space
Over walls and weights
This anti-gravity taking over me
If you wanna break free

You know where You know where..

Dark On Me
There's no hate
There's no love
Only dark skies that hang above
I call your name as I walk alone
Send a signal to guide me home
Light the night up, your my dark star
And now you're falling away
But I found in you what was lost in me
In a world so cold and empty
I could lie awake just to watch you breath
In the dead of night you went dark on me
You're the cause
The antidote
The sinking ship that I could not let go
You led my way, then disappeared
How could you just walk away and leave me here
Light the night up, your my dark star
And now you're falling away
But I found in you what was lost in me
In a world so cold and empty
I could lie awake just to watch you breath
In the dead of night you went dark on me
Blinded I can't do this on my own
You are all I've got to guide me home
There's no love
Only dark skies that hang above
I call your name as I walk alone
Send a signal to guide me home
Light the night up, your my dark star
And now you're falling away
But I found in you what was lost in me
In a world so cold and empty
I could lie awake just to watch you breath
In the dead of night you went dark on me
You're the cause
The antidote
The sinking ship that I could not let go
You led my way, then disappeared
How could you just walk away and leave me here
Light the night up, your my dark star
And now you're falling away
But I found in you what was lost in me
In a world so cold and empty
I could lie awake just to watch you breath
In the dead of night you went dark on me
Blinded I can't do this on my own
You are all I've got to guide me home

Let It Die
I cut you into pieces
Searching for your imperfections
I had plans to make you whole
But all my threads couldn't stop the bleeding
Theres nothing left, but I'm not leaving
When all I know is you
Ive been looking for a way
To bring you back to life
And if I could find a way,
I would bring you back tonight
Id make you look, Id make you lie
Id take the coldness from your eyes
But you told me, if you love me
Let it die
Your eyes stare right through me
Ignore my failed attempts to
Breathe life back into your veins
But I cant start your cold heart beating
You're so far gone, but I'm not leaving
When all I know is you
Ive been looking for a way
To bring you back to life
And if I could find a way,
I would bring you back tonight
Id make you look, Id make you lie
Id take the coldness from your eyes
But you told me, if you love me
Let it die
And you left me more dead
Than you'll ever know
When you left me alone
Searching for your imperfections
I had plans to make you whole
But all my threads couldn't stop the bleeding
Theres nothing left, but I'm not leaving
When all I know is you
Ive been looking for a way
To bring you back to life
And if I could find a way,
I would bring you back tonight
Id make you look, Id make you lie
Id take the coldness from your eyes
But you told me, if you love me
Let it die
Your eyes stare right through me
Ignore my failed attempts to
Breathe life back into your veins
But I cant start your cold heart beating
You're so far gone, but I'm not leaving
When all I know is you
Ive been looking for a way
To bring you back to life
And if I could find a way,
I would bring you back tonight
Id make you look, Id make you lie
Id take the coldness from your eyes
But you told me, if you love me
Let it die
And you left me more dead
Than you'll ever know
When you left me alone

The Future Is Now
They said there was no way
But they forgot the black hole in the sky
Yesterday is nothing
I have half a life to rewrite
Flying into this future
I will let the science bring the change
This will be the final cure
I am gonna take the past away
[Chorus:]
With the full force
Of a dying star
I will find you
If you're near or far
Wherever you are
Floating through forever
I am stealing the energy
Endlessly endeavor
This is finding infinity
I'm falling through a dark sunrise
I will escape the entropy
And find a way to leave this time
I will bring you back to me
[Chorus:]
With the full force
Of a dying star
I will find you
If you're near or far
Wherever you are
Wherever you are!
But they forgot the black hole in the sky
Yesterday is nothing
I have half a life to rewrite
Flying into this future
I will let the science bring the change
This will be the final cure
I am gonna take the past away
[Chorus:]
With the full force
Of a dying star
I will find you
If you're near or far
Wherever you are
Floating through forever
I am stealing the energy
Endlessly endeavor
This is finding infinity
I'm falling through a dark sunrise
I will escape the entropy
And find a way to leave this time
I will bring you back to me
[Chorus:]
With the full force
Of a dying star
I will find you
If you're near or far
Wherever you are
Wherever you are!

Point Of No Return
There's a memory of how we used to be
That I can see through the flames
I am hypnotized as I fantasize
Forgetting lies and pain
But I can't go back
The ashes call my name
Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames
Breaking the habit and melting the chains
Embracing the fear, chasing the fight
The glow of the fire will light up the night
The bridges are burning, the heat's on my face
Making the past an unreachable place
Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames
I know, this is the point of no return
It's uncontrollable
Such a beautiful desire
There's something sinister about the way it hurts
When I watch it burn
Because I can't go back
The ashes call my name
Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames
Breaking the habit and melting the chains
Embracing the fear, chasing the fight
The glow of the fire will light up the night
The bridges are burning, the heat's on my face
Making the past an unreachable place
Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames
I know, this is the point of no return
I won't turn around
That I can see through the flames
I am hypnotized as I fantasize
Forgetting lies and pain
But I can't go back
The ashes call my name
Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames
Breaking the habit and melting the chains
Embracing the fear, chasing the fight
The glow of the fire will light up the night
The bridges are burning, the heat's on my face
Making the past an unreachable place
Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames
I know, this is the point of no return
It's uncontrollable
Such a beautiful desire
There's something sinister about the way it hurts
When I watch it burn
Because I can't go back
The ashes call my name
Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames
Breaking the habit and melting the chains
Embracing the fear, chasing the fight
The glow of the fire will light up the night
The bridges are burning, the heat's on my face
Making the past an unreachable place
Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames
I know, this is the point of no return
I won't turn around

Rise And Fall
Watch them all lie down
Watch the eyeless gain control, gain control!
They could never blind me
I clench the fist
And overtake it all
I navigate the endless rise and fall
You push my back against the wall
When I attack I'm taking all
I'm taking it all
Rise and fall
One more fits inside the mold
One last chance to break the hold, break the hold!
I clench the fist
And overtake it all
I navigate the endless rise and fall
You push my back against the wall
When I attack I'm taking all
Taking it all
Rise and fall!
Watch the eyeless gain control, gain control!
They could never blind me
I clench the fist
And overtake it all
I navigate the endless rise and fall
You push my back against the wall
When I attack I'm taking all
I'm taking it all
Rise and fall
One more fits inside the mold
One last chance to break the hold, break the hold!
I clench the fist
And overtake it all
I navigate the endless rise and fall
You push my back against the wall
When I attack I'm taking all
Taking it all
Rise and fall!
