Forever
All these tears that fall, are only temporary
Wipe them off and power through the adversity
Live for the moment, own what you’ve got
Nothing is guaranteed, show the worth of your stock
Forever now, Forever now
You said forever and always
There’s a time and a place
To escape and I think I’ve found it
You wanted bigger, you wanted better
You wanted your way
As an act of defiance, I can’t keep quiet for much longer
The things I’ve seen will last forever
These images burned into my brain
But they’ve made me strong, the man that I am
Although I’ll never forget the pain
Forever, I’ll remember the love
The love that I’ve gained
Chorus
You can be broken, yet always complete
Learn to roll with the punches, find growth in defeat
Even though the pain, may last a lifetime
Restore it to greatness to share with your bloodline

Far From Babylon
Rarely does it ever sleep, king remains at the peak
Divided nations, broken walls, the seven angel voices call
Ask me to bow down when I live on my knees
By the rivers of Babylon where we pray and weep
You can’t explain why your rules are in place
That’s why we remain in our weakened state
Wish me well before I go now
Death is a release
When the exile doesn’t choose his Babylon
Don’t fret now, I’ve made my peace with
Yours is up to you
When the exile doesn’t choose his Babylon
Ask me to bow down when I live on my knees
By the rivers of Babylon where we pray and weep
I’m not the villain that they paint me to be
Force fed their lies and told me what to believe
Chorus
Rarely does it ever sleep, King remains at the peak
Divided nations, broken walls, the seven angel voices call
Wish me well before I go now, death is a release
When I’m far from Babylon

Virtue
What have you done, you’ve betrayed your sons
Spit in the faces, of the ones you love
When you’ve strayed, from the life that, that you’ve led
We find that same things here or there, but we’re completely unaware
That our virtue lies within, that the line is paper thin
I know you see the error in your ways but it’ll take more than that to change
Open your heart, open your eyes
Open your mind, don’t lose your control
All of our strength, all of our dreams
All our desires, into virtue
You used to stand for virtue, now you stand for none
My heart full of disdain, all for the actions of one
Eternal strength through the last thoughts you’ve obtained
When everything you thought you knew
Was built on the lies that came from truth
Now you taste what you must fear
Watch while the light disappears
You’ve strayed from the life you led
Now your sanity hangs by a thread
Chorus
Nearing my allotted span, I struggle with the riddle still
The labyrinth where I began, a quest to triumph over will
You will find it between the measures of time
In the gaps of the seconds filled by the blind
You’ll find it in the stillness of your heart
It knows not the end, It knows not the start
Chorus

Part 1: The Seeker
Standing on the brink of choice, sorrows holding back rejoice
Labyrinth that never ends, hope there’s time
As I wander through the endless plains of my mind
So I fight to find the light inside that I seek
Where is my missing puzzle piece?
We’ve finally found what we’d been searching for
Can’t find the key to unlock the door
When you seek and you can’t find the truth
Mend your broken bones and find a new
Grant me wisdom to achieve, Can’t open the lock without the key
Took 30 years to get this far and still there’s time
Last night I seemed to lose the world, but gain the universe
So I fight to find the light inside that I seek
Where is my missing puzzle piece
Chorus
As I wield my sword against my demons
My scared and beaten body seizes
Is the truly my end have I been beaten
Defeated by myself, the paramount of treason

Meta-Human
I’ve heard the lies, I’ve seen the pain
What have we done to get to this place
We must escape from our ego
To finally achieve self salvation
Stop denying the chance to be great
We’re not the last of a dying breed
We’re the start of the future, we’re planting the seed
What we will, is prove to them all
That this breed will survive
With our heads held high we face this world
We’ve got to fight battles inside and out
To conquer cast the fear and self doubt
We must escape from our ego
To finally achieve self salvation
Stop denying the chance to be great
Chorus
Ignore the hate, bury your demons
Embrace yourself, to weather all seasons
Our heads held high, there’s nothing to stop us
Our fists to the sky, this breed will survive
Stick to the axiom, we’ll never fade
Look to the future to prevail and pervade

Part 2: The Wanderer
What a miracle, what a blessing in disguise
The opportunity to awaken and realize
Infinity can’t come soon enough
My trinity brings meaning to my world
Divide the path, how do I stay the straight and narrow
Given the chance to see the light others can’t follow
Each man chooses, The road that leads to realization
Divide the path, how do I stay the straight and narrow
My life, my choice, my roaring voice, my own trinity
But whatever may be, stop wandering
I’ve found a silver lining, halo hanging around my neck
I could care less about the others, until they make a mends
Silver linings hang like halos, around my neck
But I see the truth in the lies that you told me, told me
Chorus
This is a wake up call, The rise and fall of an empire
If you knew what you know now, then you’d still walk around
Waiting to be lead
This is an uprising
Chorus
