WAKEN EYES LYRICS

1. Cognition

2. Aberration

Waking eyes indistinct sight
Travelling worlds in black and white
She waves her hand and walks away
Drawing you near, injecting fear, burn

She waves her hand and walks away
Whispers unclear, injecting fear, burn

Someday I'll be found
Abandoned memories
These melodies soar

Someday I'll be found
Abandoned memories
These melodies soar
Thrive to carry on
Search for the energy
Set you free
Soar

Tempt into darkness
I pray for the heartless
I wish for time to fade away
Twenty years have gone and passed away
I wish for time to fade away

Never fear
Come with me
Love is near
The soul will see
Never fear
Come with me
Love is near
Rip through the skies
Break free
Just break free

Someday, I'll be found
Abandoned memories
These melodies soar
Thrive to carry on
Search for the energy
Set you free
Soar

Someday, I'll be found
Abandoned memories
These melodies soar
Thrive to carry on
Search for the energy
Set you free

Someday I'll be found

3. Deafening Thoughts

Breathe.....this cold and piercing dream
It shelters me
Soundless and still, holding me down
I endlessly drown

Look in her eyes
Misery and hate coincide
Feeding her fear, it's constantly near
Leaves her so powerless yet whole
Sinking, slowing down, vertigo
Walk with the slaves
As they broadcast illusions obey

I'm so sleepy, in this blissful misery
Withdraw this feeling of doubt
Open your eyes and unfold

Slow down, slow down
He hungers, feed on your soul
This sickness, is breaking me down

Look in her eyes
Misery and hate coincide
Feeding her fear, it's constantly near
Leaves her so powerless yet whole
Sinking, slowing down,vertigo
Walk with the slaves
As they broadcast illusions obey

Look in her eyes
Misery and hate coincide
Feeding her fear, it's constantly near
Leaves her so powerless yet whole
Sinking, slowing down, vertigo
Walk with the slaves
As they broadcast illusions obey

Open your eyes

4. Back To Life

"Ye have heard that it has been said... To cut off the chain of hate and the chain of evil in the universe. And you do that by love"
[Martin Luther King Jr. "Loving your enemies" November 17, 1957]

I stand alone
Without a soul
To lend a hand
And we both know

I walk alone
Without your
Grace to break
My fall
I must find the strength
To carry on
My own
And rise once again

Still in sunlight
Darkness will fall
Dead in silence
I hear your call
All these days are
Withered with striff
All of these dreams
Are bringing me
Back to life

Back to life

I cannot win
This holy war
That I’ve begun
It tears my skin, i cannot win
These thoughts of loss
Not overcome
I struggle with
Enrage with this
Psychological
Abyss

Still in sunlight
Darkness will fall
Dead in silence
I hear your call
All these days are
Withered with striff
All of these dreams
Are bringing me
Back to life

Isolated
Solitude
Withering down
To my knees
On my way
To see this through
Faith from above
Back on my feet

Still in sunlight
Darkness will fall (darkness will fall)
Dead in silence
I hear your call (i hear your call)
All these days are
Withered with striff (withered with striff)
All of these dreams
Are bringing me (ooo bringing, oh bringing)
Back to life

"That the more we hate, the more we develop guilt feelings and we begin to subconsciously repress or consciously suppress certain emotions, and they all stack up in our subconscious selves and make for tragic, neurotic responses. And may this not be the neuroses of many individuals as they confront life that that is an element of hate there.... So love everybody... Hate at any point is a cancer that gnaws away at the very vital center... Yes, it is love that will save our world and our civilization... Because hate destroys the hater as well as the hated."
[Martin Luther King Jr. "Loving your enemies" November 17, 1957]

5. Palisades

A man without light
Is destined to live
A long scornful life
Which can't be relived
Leap in this fire
Yes bask in the flames
Let it burn
The kindness of man is your sin

Ah
You and me can never be
These palisades are my brightest shade

For one to stand still
To lose all progression
Alive for the kill
In this misconception
Give up your body
Yes fade in the heat
Let it burn

The blindness of man enrages your sin
A moment of innocence has fueled grin
The elegance of evil will always burn

Ah
You and me can never be
These palisades are my brightest shade

These are my final words
These are my final words

6. Cornerstone Away

A long time ago, in a place so far and wide
My love, my fear, keeps wondering within
Visions of hate echo deep through my mind

A long time ago, in a place so close and still
Your love, your fear, your compassion lives so free
Visions of love echo deep through my soul

Miles and miles away
Life in search of a brand new day
This feeling, this fight, carries on
Visions of love echo deep through my soul
Visions of hate echo deep through your mind

Visions of love echo deep, deep through your mind

Passing through this mystery
Stream of life
Letting go...
Coaxing voices
Running aimlessly
In search for the past
Seeking the absolute
Yearning for the truth

Visions of love echo deep my soul
Visions of hate echo deep through your mind
Visions of love echo deep through your mind

Passing thoughts of misery
Stream of life set me free
Close your eyes and don't be seen
Come home with me

Running aimlessly
In search for the past
Seeking the absolute
Yearning for the truth

7. Still Life

[Instrumental]

8. Arise

Crashing through this endless dream
Frozen still with silent screams
Tear down these walls, they're closing in
Rising tide of regret, stop me from
Going under, sinking further

Why are you so far away?

Voices twist and turn this mood
I cannot speak, I cannot move
It's not too late to rise above the ash
Don't you dare and make that move, rejection stares
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Never get down

Why are you so far away?
Distant memories, long-full fantasies
Heavenly light shines down for you

Dulcet nightmare
Absence despair
Dulcet nightmare
Absence despair

Rise, and fight this war
Deep inside your mind
Don't give in
Deceit will come
Find a way to tear your down and leave you whole
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Never get down
Never get down

Going under
Sinking further
Taunting laughter

Dulcet nightmare
Absence despair
Dulcet nightmare
Absence despair

Dulcet nightmare
Absence despair
Dulcet nightmare
Absence despair

[Monologue:]
Dear taunting darkness,
You have come and gone along with your wretched trickery and deceit. You pray on the innocent and weak minded. Your cowardly ways have not gone unnoticed. You have truly shown me that in darkness one finds light. Know that I am stronger and will not give in to your morbid terror anymore. Though I know we will meet again one day...until then I will be on guard waiting . For the powers of darkness will be crushed by the spirit of light.

Streaming conscious
Free from despair

Rise
Rise and fight this war
Rise
Rise, a way to tear you down
Rise
Oh just don't give in

Going under
Sinking further
Taunting laughter

(Never get down)

9. Across The Horizon

Take a hold of my hand
And I'll take you where the sunlight shines
Take a look in my eyes
Reflections of love whisper by

Gentle words and they always bleed through
Always for you, pull me inside
Shrouded by your own isolation
Disappear across the horizon

So you've found a place to hide away
Withered heart down in dismay
No it's never easy
To lose that comfort within
To forget who you have been
Risk that change and begin
Long and lonesome road now
I bid you farewell
I bid you farewell
Take this life again

You and I will rise across the horizon
Rise across the horizon

Reflections of my past
They haunt me still
I circle this deep flame
For grace that I will reclaim
These virtues of my life
They taunt me still
With grace, the way is always clear
This raven disappears

Come with me to the farthest seas, now
To a life where the wind blows free
Take my hand, leave this baron wasteland.
Reveal the path of your mystery.

Come with me to the farthest seas, now
To a life where the wind blows free
Take my hand, leave this baron wasteland.
Reveal the path of your mystery.

Take hold of my hand
And I'll take you where the sunlight falls
Out of the darkness
Into the light
Dissipating shadows from my past
You and I will rise across the horizon
Rise across the horizon

10. Exodus

I wonder why, these darkened skies
Shroud over me, disease....believe
I believe there is a soul, I'm too weak to gain control
Numbing breath of fire, let me go

Broken seals and desperate cries
Starring in the devil's eyes
Open fields with fallen light
Flashing flares rip the midnight sky

Innocence without a care, no
Love has left a long long time ago
Powerless and left alone
Find your strength, and take back what was
Known
Lead this fight

On and on, the price of war
I cannot take this place no more
Reigning night, leecher of light
Leave this place, you take away from
Me, can't you see
You're the enemy, fragile life so clear
Breathing hate
Your venomous scent turns me to dust and shadows remain
Rising from the voices of this melody, won't you set me free

[Monologue:]
"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin, more even than death. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible,; thought is anarchic and lawless, indifferent to authority, careless of the well-tried wisdom of the ages. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid ... Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man." It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us."

you, take my hand, and follow me
Don't turn your back on me
I'll give you shelter and let you be
You'll never be free

Memories of laughter, burred by disaster
Dreams will fade, into a sea of blood we made
Rise above submission, let this be a lesson
Give me, give me the strength to leave

Yeah!

Crawling out of this leeches dead space
Hearts are pumping, freedoms embrace
Warming light just a breath away
Won't you bring me home
Sea of light lift this dying soul
won't you take me, break me, lead me home

Tainted words and screams
Will haunt your deepest dreams
Innocence taken by greed
Take a look at my face
Remember it will, I'll see you in hell

Blissful melody
Oh won't you come and set me soul free
These darkest hours burn
These times of grace we turn
We will not give in to your fear

You will always be with me
You will see my face again
Be a slave no more
Believe and follow me
Oh to be free from this world
Get up now, and take back this life.

Far, across the land
Distant voices, spreading poisons
Open your eyes, diminish these lies
The window to your soul is here
Open your eyes
