There was a time when we all sang the song of death.
But now our bodies resonate... (our bodies resonate...)
Our living souls (souls) reverberate... the music of eternal light.

But now our bodies resonate... (our bodies resonate...)
Our living souls (souls) reverberate... the music of eternal light.
Here at the end...
Here at the end of the world, planets fall and we are rising, soul and sky are magnetizing.
Oh... Here at the end of the world, we are witnessing together the inception of forever.
Time begins to bend, and then it breaks. When it’s all gone, we’ll be movin’ on, movin’ on.
Rising. Movin’ on. Magnetizing. Movin’ on. Movin’ on.
We are rising. Movin’ on. Magnetizing. We’ll be movin’ on.
Lift the earth and like a wave carry us to shore.
What a perfect, what a beautiful emptiness. And we will live forevermore.
Here at the end of the world, planets fall and we are rising, soul and sky are magnetizing.
Crush the mountain in your hand. Drink the ocean dry.
What a perfect, what a beautiful emptiness, to know that we will never die.
What a beautiful emptiness, to know that we will never die.
A world within a world. (A world within a world.)
A life that blooms in death. (A life that blooms in death.)
The blade that severs cleanly, (The blade that severs cleanly.)
takes away the need for breath. (Takes away the need for breath.)
A world within a world. A life that blooms in death.
The blade that severs cleanly, takes away the need for breath.
A hand within a hand. A window in the eye.
The heart becomes irrelevant, when the blood is on the outside.
We have come alive. (We have come alive.)
In this magnetic sky. (In this magnetic sky.)
We have come alive. (We have come alive.)
And death shall be no more. (And death shall be no more. And death shall be no more.)
This is what we were created for.
Here at the end of the world...
Here at the end of the world, planets fall and we are rising, soul and sky are magnetizing.
Engage. Turn out the light. Internal illumination.
And see, the earth is bright, with internal illumination.
Internal illumination. Internal illumination.
The ones who came before were only looking for decay,
Forsaking and mistaking what was hidden in their day.
But now the veil is broken, the light is clearly seen.
The lines begin to blur and reveal what’s always been.
It’s rising, it’s growing, and all our hearts are glowing.
It’s raining, it’s flooding, and we can feel it in our bones.
Don’t believe your eyes. Don’t accept the obvious.
Don’t believe your eyes. Don’t accept the obvious.
The light is growing brighter. Time is a face upon the water.
The light is growing brighter. Time is a face upon the water.
Engage. Turn out the light. Internal illumination.
And see, the earth is bright, with internal illumination.
Internal illumination. Internal illumination.
Internal illumination. Internal illumination.
Shadow veils perception, breeds deception and false doubt.
In the soil of assumption, seeds of hopelessness are found.
Internal illumination. Internal illumination.
No more painting shadows on the canvas of life.
No more drinking water out of wells that are dry... dry... dry.
No more painting shadows on the canvas of life.
No more drinking water out of wells that are dry... dry... dry.
No more painting shadows on the canvas of life.
No more drinking water out of wells that are dry... dry... dry.
The crooked path is becoming straight as we move toward perfection.
That old black rider ever chasing no longer sets the direction.
We ride on a beam of light, on a wave of pure precision.
Our souls arise in endless flight and we are one in perfect fusion. Oh...
We ride into the atmosphere and leave the world behind.
Ride because the end is here. No force on earth can hold us down.
There is truth in the illusion, but do not be deceived.
There is a greater purpose than what is easily perceived.
The presence of the light increases, while everything is growing dim.
This fleeting world withers away, revealing beauty concealed within.
The evidence of perfection grows, while kingdoms rise and fall.
The souls of men are drawn to the source that binds us all, makes us who we are.
We are the sleepless... We are the sleepless ones.
We are the sleepless ones, the ones who will be changed.
The living, breathing, body of light.
And we’ve got freedom coursing through our veins.
...coursing through our veins. ...coursing through our veins.

(The term Requiem Aeternam is Latin and means "Eternal Rest".)
Deep within the ocean’s keep there lies a corpse in endless sleep.
A searchlight pierces the abyss and the darkness groans in great distress.
I am the ocean, keeper of every darkened soul.
The never ending throat of death that swallows continents whole.
Now the ground is shaking midst the grinding gears.
Dead for the taking an iron hand appears, moving up through time and space.
Moving up through time and space, sun and sky reveal their face.
A shock runs though the atmosphere, the wrath of air awakens here.
I am the blackened sky. Waters quake beneath my hand.
I am the end of nations that rains death upon the land.
There is a void where the heart should be, but a stone has held its place.
Take this heart if you’d survive the coming wrath. Now come alive.
While there is likeness of the human form, no existence lights his face.
Take this heart if you’d survive the coming wrath. Now come alive.
All the earth is silent. The universe has shifted.
Creation holds its breath as the curse of death is lifted... lifted.
All the earth is silent. The universe has shifted.
Creation holds its breath as the curse of death is lifted.
The heart of flesh has taken root inside. The light of life has been injected.
Like circuitry across (Like circuitry across) the expanse of space and time,
another darkened soul has been connected.
Soli Deo Gloria. Soli Deo Gloria. You can’t save yourself.
Enemies are rising up against the light, yet it will go on shining even in the darkest night.
Lifted up from the ocean’s tomb. His body modified, surgically improved.
Given a heart that never stops beating, given lungs for underwater breathing.
To return to the ocean floor (walk among the dead) To walk among the dead below.
(Light will outpour) Despite the flesh, light will outpour
(And it will grow) And in the darkness hope will grow.
Soli Deo Gloria. Soli Deo Gloria. You can’t save yourself.
The ocean echoes back the music of eternity. The blackest sky gives way to perfect beauty.
Requiem (Requiem) Aeternam. Soli Deo Gloria. [Latin for: Eternal Rest. Glory to God alone.]
08. Invisible Creature
(Instrumental)
09. Cardiac Rebellion
(feat. Dennis Culp of Five Iron Frenzy on trombone)
From somewhere in the darkest depths, within the cloth of secrets kept,
Out of silence death maintained, resounds a voice that shakes the frame.
Listen now unto the call, like nothing heard before.
Living hearts begin to crawl, bursting forth through stubborn flesh.
The invisible nature is taking over, taking over from within.
The invisible creature is breaking through, breaking through the skin. Oh...
Hey! Clear the way! It’s a revolution! Cardiac rebellion!
Hey! Clear the way! It’s a revolution! Cardiac rebellion!
And now we see them marching, dragging bodies in their wake.
To the call there is no stopping, it’s forever that’s at stake.
The invisible nature is taking over, taking over from within.
The invisible creature is breaking through, breaking through the skin. Oh...
Hey! Clear the way! It’s a revolution! Cardiac rebellion!
Hey! Clear the way! It’s a revolution! Cardiac rebellion!
It’s a cardiac rebellion, so join the revolution.
It’s a cardiac rebellion, so join the revolution.
10. Reflect/Refract
All.... Oah....
All the lights are burning bright. All our bodies taking flight.
The shadows cast are evidence, there is a deeper world than this.
Hearts like candles light the way, turning darkness into day.
Let us all this light absorb until at last we are no more.
Yet I am just a prism, ceaselessly refracting all of the light You are exacting.
All light... All the lights are burning bright. All our bodies taking flight.
The shadows cast are evidence, there is a deeper world than this.
Hearts like candles light the way, turning darkness into day.
Let us all this light absorb until at last we are no more.
Flesh is dissolving in the light, soaking the soul in radiation. (radiation)
The pathogens take hold at once and begin the transformation. (transformation)
Father of lights, shine upon us here. Take the darkness from our hearts, make it disappear.

Yet I am just a prism, ceaselessly refracting all of the light You are exacting.
Reflect, refract. Reflect, refract.
Break me. Remake me, a mirror that reflects Your glory.
Break me. (Break me) Remake me, (Remake me,) a mirror that reflects You perfectly.
Oohh....
11. Breathing Light
The final chapter has already been written. The story has been told.
In another dimension, beyond the reach of time. There is no more, no more to behold.
1, 2... 1, 2, 3, Go...
See the artificial light now. It’s flickering, fading away.
Eternity is right now. (Come on!) It is fusing with today.
Breathing light. We anticipate. Breathing light. Or suffocate.
See the darkness that conceals you. Evaporating, exposing the soul.
And as the light reveals you, (Come on!) let it in, let it take control.
As death corrupts, beauty is revealed, as the whole world falls apart. (souls are healed)
As death corrupts, beauty is revealed, as the whole world falls apart. (souls are healed)
We are breathing light. (We are breathing light) It sets our hearts aglow.
We are breathing light. (We are breathing light) Eternal is the overflow.

In another dimension, beyond the reach of time. There is no more, no more to behold. Oh...
