We have lost our old way And forgotten where we have come from Man falls down today Blood spilling in our own greed Why do we suffer so much, when the answer is all around us? Why do we despair so much? Hope has taken us all apart Look at our misery For we are victims of a system that makes men torture Forgotten what we are, Forgotten of what we have been and what we have become Is hope the most powerful of all? Endless and abundant, as the stars in the heavens Mysterious and intriguing as the moon But what should be heaven has become a hell at last The darkest abyss Hell The deepest abyss, We have created our own hell We must open our eyes As it all falls apart, it all comes together In the end, the truth lies in the palms of our hands So open your eyes Pave the road away from your destruction And though I see the end And though I see my death Surrounded by the hopeless faces around me I will not give up hope I will not give up hope Beautiful light, take me through the end

I find myself not where I thought I would be I've misplaced the strength that I once used to know Struggling against the current of a conscience with no remorse Time cannot lend its generous hand to us And you're the only constraint holding me down I have to believe that I'll never touch your face again No matter how much I've been beat to the ground, I won't lose my focus You'll never make me fall down Because I know my heart wont guide a guilty mind I've got too much to lose to let myself just give up I will redeem everything that I am I will prove I can lift this mountain off myself, if I can just escape your hands You're just out of reach, But so close, that I will never be able to let you go All cosmic seas cease to dance as time stands still, Make us whole Make us whole

Centauri 04:09
What can we accept as truth When we know nothing exists as it is? What dictates our reality? Is there more to life than what we perceive ? What we are? What we see? Is there more to life than what we perceive ? What we are and what we see? These questions plagued my mind The answers seem beyond my grasp But then i looked to the skies And in that moment I could see to infinity Order amongst chaos The ebb and flow of cosmic seas The answer's always just out of reach We're found within that moment There was peace Enlightened, my mind was set free And so satisfied with the new-found knowledge that I had received My eyelids calmly lowered And so my final breath was breathed

Aegis VII 04:03
I am faced with what is only a mirage The essential water in this desert of space is absent Falling forward through the fabrics of what we perceive as time Unstable mind, Cannot differentiate between reality And the beauty of fiction, fed by hope How can I turn away from what I wish were true? So far from home, The frailty of sanity starts to show Yet I will seek the truth The safety net of these visions Can't much longer withhold the weight of what is real And I know that I must move forward But the knowledge of never seeing you again makes hope fade In the emptiness Hope fade In the emptiness And as I fly out to space and the stars, viewing the beauty of creation I will reach out, and touch the face of the one Divine The gears behind this mechanism have been exposed Converge by the hand Converge by your hands
