You've heard the stories of the heroes
Of other worlds and ancient evils
A golden city, bright and elegant
Fighting for balance with the elements
Run, run, run away
Or stand and fight it all
Cause you can't hide away
From destiny's call
Fight, fly, find a way
With worlds on the line
For the fate of all mankind...
You know the truth about your people
Your wars have made your world a hellhole
Now we have come to make things right again
We know that evil is in sight again
Cleansing silence drowns the light
Ancient shadows come to life
All those people caught in strife
You must fight for them tonight
You've heard the stories of the legends,
Yet never knew how it all ends
The stars above shall burn to ashes
Fragments of war inviting darkness
Run, run, run away
Or stand and fight it all
Cause you can't hide away
From destiny's call
Fight, fly, find a way
With hope shining through
For the fate of all mankind...
Rests with you!
It rests with you!

[in fictional language]
Inner dark, seeping through
Your heart, so charred and cold
Inner dark, becoming you,
Ignites a flame so old
Feel it burn,
And be reborn!

Found your home
Found your way
Held you close
Deepened gaze
Follow me
Brother mine
Run this way
Run for life
Terrified
Forest strong
Voices near
Won't be long
Found a place
For me to hide
Where'd he go
O brother mine?
Still alone
Still afraid
All these years
Self remade
Grow apart
Sharpen skill
Forget to love
Learn to kill
Took my heart
Shut the door
Oh no, a body
On the floor
Tell myself
It's all the same
Hold my breath
Take my aim!
Open eyes
Brother's face
Hold you close
Deepened gaze
By your side
I will stay,
But who will wash
The blood away?
Did I lose my way?
Lose my way?
Lose my way?
Oh, I think I lost my way!
Lost my way!
Lost my way!

Rising to the top of the class
And now you're standing taller than tall
Looking down from the highest of towers
Now you'll know what it takes to fall
Everyone has a price on your head
Can you outrun them all
It's hard to notice now
You have to know this now
Kept in shackles all your life
You march among your friends and peers
Now you've removed those chains
But your kingdom lies in a path of tears
Now your worst fears come to you at night
Those dreadful thoughts like a viper's bite
It's hard to know this now
You have to notice now
You
Were
Never
Born to rule
You
Were
Always
Just another fool
You were an angel once
But time has stripped you of your wings
This game is almost up
And the pawns are rigged against the king
Can you hear the people sing
Of liberty, let freedom ring
It's hard to notice now
You have to know this
They can see through the lies
So kiss this life goodbye

What did you do to me?
Stuck in your lunacy
I'm bent and broken by your gravity
For years I've been so meek
Your grip is getting weak
Sorry I seem to have lost my empathy
Pour all your demons on me
They all wash right off just fine
I have no problem putting you in your place
So don't you dare try to put me in mine
'stead of bettering yourself
You decide to make it harder
Make a scene, raise hell
Led into the slaughter
Couldn't take the pain
Now your mind's in a clutter
Look at what you became
'fore you take a look at others
Your vision's gone askew
Distorted world view
In the exaggerated story of you
But now your luck is fading fast
You're on your final gasp
Let's wait and see whose will is going to last
Making every assumption under the sun!
Jump to conclusions and you're already done!
It's like shotgun shrapnel spraying right at my face
It's like I'm thrown into the hottest of flames
It's like I'm stuck in a box with a pulled grenade
Bout to blow me away, I'm not to blame, but I can't escape now
Then you tell me it's all because of me
And so I play along with your make believe
But you're just stuck hurting others with your fantasy
Because you can't accept the person that you came to be
Sick of your games!
Fed up with the lies!
You've got something to prove?
Quit toying with lives!
Gonna dig yourself
A hole full of trouble
At least do us a favor
And use a shovel!

Bright lights and silhouettes
Blurring the dark and the light
Tripped on a live wire
Now we will tumble into night
Break through the perfect mold
Hold back the enemy within
Shatter the mirror
And see the world for what it truly is
Churning turning
Falling slowly down
Getting warmer,
Ever-closing sound
Crowded at twilight, barren by dawn
Why must we sit around
While they bring the world to it's knees
And how can you stand around
When we can barely breathe
Cast out the falsities
So winter can turn into spring
Cornered and terrified, you carry the sword
Happily pushed to extremes
Churning turning
Twirling slowly 'round
Heart is colder
When you wear the crown
Self inflicted,
Broken bruised machine
Floats like a butterfly, and aches like a dream
You expect no consequences
Hide yourself in your pretenses
One too many times forgiven
Facts cannot be killed if hidden
Time cannot be bought it's borrowed
Towers built to ebb your sorrow
Play pretend and flip the blame
Heart of the inferno
Middle of the bright crimson sky
Change and the miracle
Gave us a new way to die
Churning turning
Warning through the years
Wear your warpaint
Crocodile tears
Churning turning
Running out of time
Bearing witness
To the thorns of life
Clouded by clarity, your "truth" is a lie!
You're not blessed with knowledge untold
You're simply too scared that you have no control
This isn't reality
This is a cage of fear and pain, loathing and rage
Are you really that oblivious?
Are you really that blind?
It's an idiot's game, and you win every time
So step right up and claim your prize
You're not disciples
You're mindless acolytes!

There was a time
When I was young
And everyone around me sang
About before
And how it's gone
Such a melancholy pang
And in that moment
All I could say
Was thank you all for this day
Togetherness, and simple things
With all hands held
And all hearts warm
Long ago
When we were young
We stood with people we once knew
Huddled close
And chasing dreams
Now the hopes have turned us blue
But now I wonder
If I am here
Taking it for granted still
Togetherness, and simple things
With all hands held
And all hearts warm
As we face
The life we make
I only hope you heed these words
Make a choice
And stand your ground
Holding out at every turn
Whatever happens
Please promise me
That you will hold the time you have
Close at heart, in gentle arms
With all hands held
And all hearts warm
Listen
I never ask for very much
But with a touch
Please understand
We may be finite
But our actions are forever
Listen
See days and weeks and years go by
Don't say goodbye
No not just yet
Fate is but
The course you set for you
