Nothing matters but the music now And we’re gonna come alive tonight Let me see you put your hands up high Fist to the sky this is your night Come together we can move as one Leave behind all the things that haunt you Inside, feel that drive, make our worlds collide (Our worlds collide) MOVE! Say it out loud help me scream and shout you got your Hands up! (come on) Let it out (Say it!) Lay it on the line just let it out tonight you got your Hands up! (come on) Let it out (Say it!)

2.	The memory 04:14	lyrics	buy track
Out of the dark and into the flames You would be burned if you would have remained You make it easy to hate myself Here in my minaret the words I won’t speak Standing alone as it’s coming undone And as I think about myself You remind me of my guilt Bringing out the dark that’s haunting me You set the world on fire! I’m letting go, I’m letting go Tearing down the walls that’s holding me Crawling to light I escape my grave The prison I’m in is the one that you’ve made And you are the reason I feel this hell The war in my mind is the one can’t see Done with the pain as I’m becoming unchained And as I think about myself You remind me of my guilt Bringing out the dark that’s haunting me You set the world on fire! I’m letting go, I’m letting go Tearing down the walls that’s holding me Becomes my misery Feeling down Can someone save my soul? I’ll give into sin just one more time Drown my thoughts I can’t make this go away And forget the time that changed my life And as I think about myself You remind me of my guilt Bringing out the dark that’s haunting me You set the world on fire! I’m letting go, I’m letting go Tearing down the walls that’s holding me
3.	Time to fly 04:23	lyrics	buy track
I did my best to make this right Though I never thought you’d try To reach inside and demonize All the things that give me life But here we are, just let it die It’s the last time I will try You let your pride control your life And you will never let me fly I’ve turned away from all this pain But the memory still remains The time is gone, I’m moving on I’m full of doubt but I’ve got to try for my own I’ve been down this road before Your silence says it all The broken pieces from yesterday That simply don’t belong A shattered past from what we’ve had The damage from the pain But I made a promise to myself That no one else will ever hurt this heart again I look inside an empty room I saw a shadow that I once knew There’s nothing left, a lonely space Not gonna drown in this misery! We’re meant to live but made to fall No one says that’s who we are It’s time for me to live my life I’ve been down this road before Your silence says it all The broken pieces from yesterday That simply don’t belong A shattered past from what we’ve had The damage from the pain But I made a promise to myself That no one else will ever hurt this heart again Your shattered dreams are just a way Of showing you can rise again Come with me it’s time to fly It’s time for me to fly
4.	Rule the world 03:24	lyrics	buy track
Bleeding hearts form into concrete But that's the way their message sells Watch em' fall into their plans One by one they take your hand We see them lost in this endless daydream Then the real world crashes down But inside, they're cold Then you're left to break alone The image they take The price that they pay we're giving into fortune and fame But further away from everyone One at a time they fall in line And we can see them making up their minds They believe in thought control Dividing the minds of the children they decide Turn away and stand your ground! No giving into faceless names this time Turn it off you're better off than Giving into them and they way the rule the world Digging further into the black Denial is the magic veil Letting go of all we can One by one they take their hands They'll keep us lost in this endless daydream They'll make us fight for what is ours Now they win! And we fail! Like we're meant to be alone But are we alone? One at a time they fall in line And we can see them making up their minds They believe in thought control Dividing the minds of the children they decide Turn away and stand your ground! No giving into faceless names this time Turn it off you're better off than Giving into them and they way the rule the world You stick us all with this Now you're silent as we resist? I'm pushing back with a loaded gun Look into my eyes you can see my anger No more running! We don't have to hide from the emptiness you've designed We're face to face and we're ready for war! You can't lead the blind if they're are ready to die They'll feed off the hatred you carried inside One at a time they fall in line And we can see them making up their minds They believe in thought control Dividing the minds of the children they decide Turn away and stand your ground! No giving into faceless names this time Turn it off you're better off than Giving into them and they way the rule the world
5.	Only in our heart 03:03	lyrics	buy track
The fire inside will come to life Just take a step out outside your program guiding lines Just the fire flow through your soul It’s time to let go of the past and take control Feel the power of what might be No more excuses, lay all my burdens down (I’m moving a stone!) When all we want is painless, let’s feed the fire that makes us now! And welcome the changes If only in our heart Let’s take it higher Let’s break the mold You gotta take a risk to rise above it all Just let it move ya Just let it go It’s time to recognize the light inside your soul No more excuses, lay all my burdens down (Cause we’re in control!) When all we want is painless, let’s feed the fire that makes us now! And let’s be contagious Inspire! Can you take on the fire? Give into desire Will you let this world take you and break you again? Resist and revolt! Courageous and bold! Then you’ll be the one to conquer the demons within No more excuses, lay all my burdens down (I’m moving a stone!) When all we want is painless, let’s feed the fire that makes us now! And welcome the changes No more excuses, lay all my burdens down (I’m moving a stone!) When all we want is painless, let’s feed the fire that makes us now! And welcome the changes If only in our heart If only in our heart If only in our heart
6.	Soul speak 03:24	lyrics	buy track
If you close your eyes Hold your breath for a moment Try to shut off your mind you’ll find Your soul is speaking I’ve seen the world through damaged eyes Broken down decaying with this feeling inside But you’d think by now I’d realize No matter how you try you can’t turn back the time If you close your eyes and hold your breath for a moment Try to shut off your mind you’ll find your soul is speaking The silence around you is the way it speaks So shut world out to achieve this dream Say it to me say it again You’re making a pattern of your hollow amends But don’t turn to me like you’re a friend Cause I’ll make you swallow all the truth that you bend If you close your eyes and hold your breath for a moment Try to shut off your mind you’ll find your soul is speaking It lives beyond your mind You got to fall to rise If you close your eyes and hold your breath for a moment Try to shut off your mind you’ll find your soul is speaking Woah vitality reached When it speaks to me Woah I’m alive! Feel the energy rise
7.	My dark sorrow 04:20	lyrics	buy track
Have you tried to fly with broken wings? Imagine the fall one step from your dream The wolves are digging at my door The shadows crawling on the wall So hollow inside That’s what takes the pleasure for me I can’t run anymore It’s like I’m dying inside When no one gets your brokenness You try to hide behind your scars And I don’t want to care anymore A little more now that I’m suffering I’ve open the door The darkness of my mind I’m shaking from the endless cold But you won’t like where darkness goes So run and hide That’s what takes the pleasure for me I can’t run anymore It’s like I’m dying inside When no one gets your brokenness You try to hide behind your scars And I don’t want to care anymore I don’t know if I can hold on I don’t know if I can be strong All I know is what I believe And I believe the pain in me Will be the one to set me free That’s what takes the pleasure for me I can’t run anymore It’s like I’m dying inside When no one gets your brokenness You try to hide behind your scars And I don’t want to care anymore
8.	Lights, sound & chaos 03:20	lyrics	buy track
Wake me up when it’s over It’s changing all the time We are at war with each other It’s taking hold, it’s taking hold Of all that used to be It’s haunting all our dreams But when you’re tired of letting go There’s one thing you should do Bring on the lights, the sound, the chaos! We are the lights, the sound, the chaos! Bring on the lights, the sound, the chaos! We are the lights, the sound, the chaos! The ego descends a revolution begins To open up our minds Then we begin to discover We rise above, we overcome The things that used to be It’s haunting all our dreams But when we’re tired of letting go There’s one thing we can do Bring on the lights, the sound, the chaos! We are the lights, the sound, the chaos! Bring on the lights, the sound, the chaos! We are the lights, the sound, the chaos! The chaos! (find your chaos) Bring on the lights, the sound, the chaos! We are the lights, the sound, the chaos! Bring on the lights, the sound, the chaos! We are the lights, the sound, the chaos
9.	Enemy 03:32	lyrics	buy track
So easy for you to turn your back on me Keep walking away and hat (Keep saying what you want to say) So one sided, divided your mind is filled with self-pride Only hearing what you want to hear (Self-righteous with a fucking smile) Light it up, light it up Watch it all burn Down to the ashes Like nothing ever mattered All your words that you say to me You’ve become my enemy (My enemy!) I’m building a wall I’ll make it ten feet tall And keep you on the other side (and guard it with the hate inside) Your obsession confesses a lie You’ve got no one to blame The trust will never be the same (Watch it all go up in flames!) Useless now, stand my ground Light it up, light it up Watch it all burn Down to the ashes Like nothing ever mattered All your words that you say to me You’ve become my enemy You need to drown in some misery You need to feel what it’s like to be me The pain and suffering that they’ll put you through When all is said and when all is done There will come a time when you have to become Then be man that’s bigger than yourself And you’ll see Light it up, light it up Watch it all burn Down to the ashes Like nothing ever mattered All your words that you say to me You’ve become my enemy
10.	War! 03:23	lyrics	buy track
You want out? I’ve been down I’ve been through hell on earth Watching it all crashing down But I found out That it’s the same damn sell with a different smile Do this, do that, never question You’ll be the one taking a crown Hold on to your purpose now And we’ll be the ones who can take them down Don’t throw it in my face, just turn and walk away We’ve had enough of your war (War! War!) Your reign is over now, your kingdom’s fallen down We’re taking back what is ours There’s a plan to it all They want to see us crumble Watching it fall to the ground as we drown Our minds have been infected with their twisted direction Do this, do that, never question You’ll be the one taking a crown Take away, break away, it’s their obsession Lets be the ones who will take them down (now!) Don’t throw it in my face, just turn and walk away We’ve had enough of your war (War! War!) Your reign is over now, your kingdom’s fallen down We’re taking back what is ours Don’t throw it in my face, just turn and walk away We’ve had enough of your war (War! War!) Your reign is over now, your kingdom’s fallen down We’re taking back what is ours
