As I Lay Dying

i have traveled so far to find so little
meaning in tragedy or tragedy
in the search for the meaning
dark clouds have lead me here
confined freedom
guides us to secure..security
what if everything
i have been taught is a lie and all of my teachers
have been wrong this whole time
compelling us to fight
the battles they would not
they have already won
and we have already lost
if we do not learn from their mistakes
we have already lost
if we don't learn to change

That night I never came home.
Wandering souls captured my thoughts..
Emptiness filled my mind.
Urgency spoke her lies.
In the confines of these gray walls.
I watched them move together.
Taking me places I cannot remember (remember).
We have been poured out...
Into this loveless bride..
How quickly I forget...
That this is meaningless.
How quickly I forget...
That this is meaningless.
in a world passing through my fingers.
I still chase the wind.
How quickly I forget...
That this is meaningless
How quickly I forget...
That this is meaningless
what have I learned from yesterday?
what have I learned from yesterday?

This is what I am.
This is what I have become.
What is love without sacrifice?

My tears hold no weight.
If my commitment is only failure
Each day I am born again to be a child
in the eyes of love.

Repeating yesterday.
Drain me of my very essence.
To form again what lasts.

All along it was me who changed.
Morning now waits for me.
All along it was me.
What I have to gain does
not matter if what I give
is all to you.
If what I give is all to you.
I have seen the stars fall
And the sun rise again,
But You are yet to change.
You are all that is worth living for.

this world was never worthy
but how can i call it unfaithful
every promise was fulfilled
as decay crawled from it's throat
like the dead rising from an open grave
lips of splendor and tongue of deceit
all dying now as our fragile
wrists hold only waste

like those gasping for their last breath
we cannot hide there's nothing left

if all my sorrow has led me here
then i would cry all of my tears
to have this chance again
and know there's more than this
and know there's more than you

like those gasping for their last breath
we cannot hide there's nothing left

how many years have we waited
for a ship that never set sail?
and how many days have we wasted
chasing a love that was not our own?
i sat ashore and watched
as one hopeless wave crashed upon another
while my thoughts ran to the highest hills
my heart never reached the sea
with only delusions of an endless journey
i am left with an ocean between you and me

is this your salvation?
is this all you can give?
i will not stand in reflection
of someone elses's dream

the gate to my heart has been weld shut
with the splendor of my aspirations closed in
how many years have we waited
for a ship that never set sail?
and how many days have we wasted
chasing a love that was not our own?

is this your salvation?
is this all you can give?
i will not stand in reflection
of someone elses's dream

If music is a mirror revealing
the depths of my heart
Then I will write the darkest song
For without forgiveness my soul is lost

All that is hope
within destruction
comes from you
for I have fallen

And there is nothing good within me
Yet I've been given life
I will
I will never deserve
For without forgiveness
My soul is lost

All that is hope
within destruction(x4)

All that is hope(x4)

I've looked straight into your eyes
And turned my head for the last time
Because I was scared
to leave these walls in ruin
Like the fate of those
who trust in themselves
We are alone and afraid

I know you are the one we left behind
Yet somehow we are the ones
who are alone
You're the one we left behind
You're the one we left be-

I will no longer turn my head
I will never forget you
You are the one we left behind
You are the forsaken

We've built our confidence
Our broken dreams now left for dead
Yet we've been condemned
To chase these dreams that never end

I know you are the one we left behind
Yet somehow we are the ones
who are alone
You're the one we left behind
You're the one we left be-

I will no longer turn my head
I will never forget you
You are the one we left behind
You are the forsaken

Our selfishness consumes us
Until the whole world is not enough
Forgive the day that I erased your name
For it's the memory of me that will decay

I know you are the forsaken
Somehow we are the ones who feel alone
I know you are the forsaken
Somehow we are the ones who feel alone

you sat and watched
as i nearly destroyed myself
never had i felt so betrayed
that you would sacrifice my life
for no more than comfort
and now your love means nothing to me
your are coward,
the antithesis of a friend
take action before there is
no one left to defend
for i would have stood by you
right to the gates of hell

i never wanted
and i never cared before
now take it back
this is a new day

how i long to regress
to the days before i took upon myself
the obsessions of this world
a day of innocence equating beauty
for tomorrow may fall
and today is already gone

now take it back
this is a new day

i've grown tired of chasing
convinced i was in need
and now the years i've spent
only a slave to this
tomorrow may fall
and today is already gone
i will no longer adore
these things that will never satisfy me

i have seen my world change
and then go back to where it came
in this vicious circle
we are all brought back to life
only to die again
but without these barren obsessions
i am simply free

i see them coming
with shrouds to bury us all
before we were born they shaped our lives
leading us into an unmarked grave
in moments life could end
so i will speak while i can

this is my chance
my time to stand

we may fail alone but that is better
than dying with them only to be forgotten
i for one would rather suffer now
than leave this life without passion

this is our chance
our time to stand

we have all heard what we wanted to hear
"truth" that sounds right to our ears

but what wisdom is there within us
to live based on the feeling of our hearts?
how many times has instinct let us down
never to be thought through
never to be questioned
say what you really mean
when your ambition calls you
for what use is there in praying
if you will only hear what you want to hear?

we speak of fighting to resist this world
but what about the battle within us?
if we have chosen to live against the grain
then why are we all facing the same way?
there is no difference between us and them
if we all blindly seek truth from sentiments

I can only imagine
that wrath is being held out
so there will be time for us to be redeemed
but surely wrath is not being held out
so that we may redeem ourselves
for i've seen the madness
of those who died trying
but is regret only a word
that the living possess?
i long to see their faces
regardless of the decay
for in the eyes of the deceased...

we would see hope in our last day
inside this dying world
for there is still beauty
inside this dying world

for what good is there holding off wrath
if we are determined
to bring wrath upon ourselves

now this is who we are
i am no one's hero
for we are not the giant men
that some may think
You are faithful when we are not
so i'd like to tell this story
the way it is meant to be
without the burden that's in our hearts
none of us would have ever found You
for You are faithful when we are not
You began a work
that only You can complete

now this is who we are
i'll never know the answers
and i'll always wonder why

...
why we're given grace we'll never deserve
and a second chance that we will never earn
for there is nothing i can do to save myself

now this is who we are
i'll never know the answers
and i'll always wonder why
but You have let me start again
i'd rather be called weak
than die thinking i was strong

From here to eternity
we begin understanding
I see who you are
and who else can compare
I meant what I said
I promised stand by your side
Until the end
that's where we begin
Until the end
that's where we begin
From here to eternity
we begin understanding
It is our hearts that define
what has meaning in life
Some will ask how can this be
it was you who made me feel
Until the end
that's where we begin
Until the end
that's where we begin
Until the end
that's where we begin
Until the end
that's where we begin

forever your eyes will hold the memory
i saw your heart as it overtook me
we tried so hard to understand and reason
but in that one moment i gave my heart away
that perfect breath where my mind lay beside me
and all i knew was what had overtaken me
with no explanation i am comforted by inability to understand
when i wake from this dream will you still be here
will your smile still open my heart and leave me transparent

Exhausted beyond repair
Stripped of all I got
Forced to die inside
Forced to die
Now I breathe a renewed Life
is it now I see without my eyes
Remind me of my need for You
If this is what it takes
To bring me to my knees
Then feed me pain
until I realize
I am but a slave
Remind me of my need for You

Emptiness running through me
Taking all that
Taking all I've got
Leaving me this blinding mask
Grasping for the wind
Everything I've done
Everything I've gained
It all means nothing
A mere breath has passed away
Sadness I embrace
Left with empty promises
I look at myself and see the scars
That are brought to me
by this life
Then I ask myself
Is this world has to give
this world has to give
chase is over I am finished
Stripped of every reason
I cry out to You
From my knees I scream
From my knees I scream
From my knees I scream

This blood turned into tears
A broken heart runs my body
Dripping forth
until I give my life
I have become a sacrifice
It hurts me just to think of you
I void the pain that is unbarring

From here to eternity
we begin understanding
I see who you are
and who else can compare
I meant what I said
I promised stand by your side
Until the end
that's where we begin
Until the end
that's where we begin
From here to eternity
we begin understanding
It is our hearts that define
what has meaning in life
Some will ask how can this be
it was you who made me feel
Until the end
that's where we begin
Until the end
that's where we begin
Until the end
that's where we begin
Until the end
that's where we begin

forever your eyes will hold the memory
i saw your heart as it overtook me
we tried so hard to understand and reason
but in that one moment i gave my heart away
that perfect breath where my mind lay beside me
and all i knew was what had overtaken me
with no explanation i am comforted by inability to understand
when i wake from this dream will you still be here
will your smile still open my heart and leave me transparent

What is certain I have ignored
I have spent most of my life
Trying to complicate everything
that I believe
So that what paralyzed
In thought I will always
have an alibi
Just another excuse
just another excuse
To hesitate to hesitate
Delaying true progress
with passivity
The answers that I've found
Are all the same
They uncover questions
That still remain
The answers that I've found
Are all the same
They uncover questions
That still remain
What is certain I have ignored
And what I know is simple
If Im honest with myself
My soul is broken yet easily fixed
And what I know is simple
I must die if I truly want to live
The answers that Ive found
Are all the same
They uncover questions
That still remain
The answers that Ive found
Are all the same
They uncover questions
That still remain
The greatness of us
have become the least
I must be reborn to revive the
heart that hardly beats
Keeping alive this hollow frame
I must be reborn
I must be reborn

Propaganda death ensemble
Burial to be
Corpses rotting through the night
In blood laced misery
Scorched earth the policy
The reason for the siege
The pendulum it shaves the blade
The strafing air blood raid
Infiltration push reserves
Encircle the front lines
Supreme art of strategy
Playing on the minds
Bombard till submission
Take all to their graves
Indication of triumph
The number that are dead
Sport the war war support
The sport is war total war
When victorys a massacre
The final swing is not a drill
Its how many people I can kill
Sport the war war support
The sport is war total war
When victorys a massacre
The final swing is not a drill
Its how many people I can kill
Be dead friend from above
When darkness falls
Descend into my sights
Your fallen walls
Spearhead break through the lines
Flanked all around
Soldiers of attrition
Forward their ground
Regime prophetic age
Old in its time
Flowing veins run on through
Deep in the Rhine
Center of the web
All battles scored
What is our war crimes
Era forever more war
Propaganda war ensemble
Burial to be
Bones shining in the night
In blood laced misery
Campaign of elimination
Twisted psychology
When victory is to survive
And death is defeat
Sport the war war support
The sport is war total war
When the end is a slaughter
The final swing is not a drill
Its how many people I can kill

Up here in space
I'm looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
Always in focus
You can't feel my stare
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there
I take a pride in probing all
your secret moves
My tearless retina takes
pictures that can prove
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
Electric eye in the sky
Feel my stare always there
There's nothing
you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows
I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
I'm elected electric spy
I'm elected protected
protected electric eye

That night I never came home
Wandering souls
captured my thoughts
Emptiness filled my mind
Urgency spoke her lies
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
In the confines of these
grey walls
I watched them move together
Taking me places I cannot
We have been poured out
Into a loveless bride
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
In a world passing
through my fingers
I still chase the wind
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
