1. Strength in Numbers

As we live in these dark days filled with violence, opposition and hate,
there lies a place of saving grace protected in the hearts of the humble, the faithful,
the ones who choose the path of resistance to protest, protect, save,
proclaim our lives lived not in vain. In flesh, in Spirit eternal. One love. One truth. One destiny.

One love. One truth. One destiny.

Arise and be triumphant. No rest until all is fulfilled.
Our roots must balance our branches. Be vigilant in truth and love... in truth and love.

There is a strength in numbers, we must unite mankind.
There is a strength in numbers, our faith lies deep inside.
(We) We struggle, (we) we suffer, (so) so we must come together.
(We) We struggle, (we) we suffer, (but) but we will live forever.

Babylon’s method of deception so devious the strong are swayed.
...so devious the strong are swayed.

There is a strength in numbers, we must unite mankind.
There is a strength in numbers, our faith lies deep inside.
(We) We struggle, (we) we suffer, (so) so we must come together.
(We) We struggle, (we) we suffer, (but) but we will live forever.

One love. One truth. One love. (One love.) One truth. (One truth.)
One love. (One love.) One truth. (One truth.) One destiny.

There is a strength in numbers, we must unite mankind.
There is a strength in numbers, our faith lies deep inside.
(We) We struggle, (we) we suffer, (so) so we must come together.
(We) We struggle, (we) we suffer, (but) but we will live forever.

And may the sun shine upon you and bless your inner light, and may you find true peace.
 
 
2. Fight for Life

Underneath a darkened sky. Drifting through a sea of lies.
Pulled into the undertow. My body dragged deep below.

Fix my gaze up to the sun. Got to change the road I’m on.
Give me strength to push on through. (Give me strength...) Seeking shelter from the storm.

Carry my weight when I can’t go on. Uplift my spirit so I carry on.
Was once lost, but now I’m found. Darkness pass away into the light of dawn. Push on through.

Fight for Life. Fight for Life. (Fight for Life. Fight for Life. Fight for Life. Fight for Life.)
My war is not with flesh, but with the spirit at unrest.
Fear not death. (I fear not death.) I fear no man. (I fear no man.) And I will prevail.

Give me strength to carry on. Push on through the light of dawn. (Push on through.)

Carry my weight when I can’t go on. Uplift my spirit so I carry on.
Was once lost, but now I’m found. Darkness pass away into the light of dawn. Push on through.

Fight for Life. Fight for Life. (Push on through.) Fight for Life. Fight for Life. (Push on through.)
Fight for Life. Fight for Life. (Push on through.) Fight for Life....
 
 
3. Willing

Awake with the wings of morning to the light of a new day. Now my eyes are open.

Through the darkest times I’ll find You. I’ll find You always.
Cover me (cover me) with your hands. Make me see (make me see) all I am.
Though I fall, I’m willing.

I could break, fall back into sorrow. Give me life, make my faith much stronger.
Now my eyes are open.

Though I feel I’m lost (I feel I’m lost) I’ll find a way (I’ll find a way). I’ll find a way to You.
Cover me (cover me) with your hands. Make me see (make me see) all I am.
Though I fall, I’m willing.

This is the now. No longer will I wait my time. Can’t lose faith. There’ll be days of grace.

I’d give it all. I’d give it all to see redemption.

Cover me (cover me) with your hands (with your hands).
Make me see (make me see) all I am (all I am).
Though I stumble, though I stumble, though I fall, I’ll live for You.
 
 
04. Where the Spirit Leads Me

Cast me into the deep, into the heart of darkness. Fallen from on high, drowning in sorrow.

Hopeless and lost (hopeless and lost). Consumed by fears.

My soul was weak within me. Can’t run from this destiny.
Just give me Your mercy. I go where the Spirit leads me.

Let go of my desire. Your will is my guide. Save me from this fate (from this fate).

Hopeless and lost (hopeless and lost). Consumed by fears. Will You save me?

My soul was weak within me. Can’t run from this destiny.
Just give me your mercy. I go where the Spirit leads me.

Let my mouth be the blade (be the blade). Let my soul be filled with flame (filled with flame).
Be the blade... Filled with flame...

My soul was weak within me. I can’t run from this destiny.
Just give me Your mercy (give me Your mercy). I go where the Spirit leads me.

Where the Spirit... where the Spirit leads.
 
 
5. Until the End of Days

Like a withered tree in winter’s hold, pieces falling all around.
Sight lost in a once brilliant sky, now reduced to shades of pale grey.
What have I become? What have I become?
 
My voice resounds. Arms outstretched. Embrace the end of days.
Reach to the skies. Arms outstretched. Embrace the end of days.

Fall apart. Drifting down to the sound of mournful harmonies.
Now my voice resounds. What have I become?

I was looking for answers. Trapped in a hopeless state of mind.
I was drifting and searching. Now my purpose is found.

My voice resounds. Guide my path. Until the end of days.
Reach to the skies. Deliverance. Until the end of days.

I am steadfast. Given sight. I sustain. Until the end of days.
Tear me apart. Look into my soul. I sustain. Until the end of days.

Arms outstretched (arms outstretched) to embrace (to embrace) the end of days.
 
 
6. Live in Love

Just live in love. Believe in love.

In my life I have seen all the ways hatred destroys mankind.
Break society’s system, change the mind state. There’s no compromise.
Don’t mistake kindness and compassion for weakness.
It takes so much more strength to be selfless and live in love.

Strive to live in selflessness. And live in love.

Through all your days just live in love. Through all your pain believe in love.

All that you think you know is just a fraction of this world.
Take the time to think about your life. Live righteous.

Strive to live in selflessness. And live in love.

Through all your days just live in love. Through all your pain believe in love.

The words we speak. The ones we don’t say.
Power you don’t know you contain. Through all your days believe in love.

Don’t you see. We are of one blood. Don’t you see. We are of one blood.
Brothers and sisters. We are one. Brothers and sisters. We are one. We are one.

And I pray this is not in vain...

All that you know about. All you can’t hide. All that you feel inside. Live in love.
All that you know about. All you can’t hide. All that you feel inside. Live in love.
All that you know about. All you can’t hide. All that you feel inside.
Through all your days... live in love.
All that you know about. All you can’t hide. All that you feel inside.
Through all the pain... live in love.
 
 
7. In the Arms of Mercy

(Instrumental)

 
 

8. Hymn of a Broken Man

Fallen (fallen). Fell to the depths of your regrets (regret). And now there’s nothing left but apathy.

Blinded by pride, torn on the inside. Count the cost of your arrogance.
Words pass through, through deafened ears. Now your broken wings mirror your self-regret.

Why do we live so blind? Like a fallen angel’s eyes.
Torn inside. This is the hymn of a broken man.

Fallen (fallen). Cast down from blessedness. Now there’s nothing left, nothing but apathy.

Why do we live so blind? Like a fallen angel’s eyes.
Torn inside. This is the hymn of a broken man.
God save you. God save your soul.
Torn inside. This is the hymn of a broken man.

If you could only see the truth, for pride has blinded you.
Feel with your heart. Disregard has killed you. Once again.

Why do we live so blind? Like a fallen angel’s eyes.
Cast aside. This is the hymn of a broken man.

Why do we live so blind? This is the hymn of a broken man.
Why do we live so blind? This is the hymn of a broken man.

God save... God save your soul. God save... God save us all.

 

 

9. The Forgotten One

Words slowly lead me to the cracks in my disguise.
My flesh a prison for the man behind these eyes.
I sing the epitaph for an unnamed king.
Carved in this tombstone are the lost pieces of me.

How far is the distance between you and I? How long before this silence dies?
 
Lost in a sea of sadness. Blind in this place of darkness.
If I fall, would you be there to raise me up, or will I be the forgotten one?
 
Lead me to the crossroad, I can find my way home.
Devils on my back and Angels in between.
The scars and dreams that made me believe.
The words, the choirs sing now in remembrance of me.
 
When our eyes meet do you know the man beneath.
Walk the line between desperate and redeemed.
 
Lost in a sea of sadness. Blind in this place of darkness.
If I fall, would you be there to raise me up, or will I be the forgotten one?

Am I hymns and songs for the broken?
Through every word that was spoken, do I carry hope for the hopeless?
 
Lost in a sea of sadness. Blind in this place of darkness.
If I fall, would you be there to raise me up, or will I be the forgotten one?

 

 

10. Hope Remains

Crushed by the weight of your sorrow. There is no release.
Trying to find the light in the darkness. And we can’t hold on.

But it’s hidden from your face.

Seek and you’ll find the path you should follow. Breathe in peace.
Surrender yourself to the hopes of tomorrow. Surrender.

And it’s all within your spirit. This world is yours.

Hold on to faith. Hold on to love. Hold on to who you are.
You’re not alone. Don’t lose sight. We will rise above.

Life. We are the breath of life. Life. Our hope remains.

In these times of grace a sacred life we must embrace.
For generations to come, as we burn like the rays of the sun.
Look in my eyes, they burn with passion.
Of the spirit. Undefiled. Burn like the rays of the sun.

We have a purpose. Undefeated. Carve your name in the face of today. And burn.

Hold on to faith. Hold on to love. Hold on to who you are.
You’re not alone. Don’t lose sight. We will rise above.

Life. We are the breath of life. Life. Our hope remains.
Life. We are the breath of life. Life. Our hope remains.

Hold on to faith. Hold on to love... You’re not alone. Don’t lose sight. Our hope remains.
Hold on to faith. Hold on to love....

 

 

11. The End of Eternity

We are lost. Consumed by selfish desire.
Abandoned the gift bestowed us. The gift of love.

But there is beauty. There is life. Hold fast, for this could be the end of eternity.

We are blind. (We are blind.) Our future is crushed and forgotten.
Destroyed by greed. Destroyed by greed.

But there is beauty. (There is beauty) There is love. (There is love)
Hold fast, for this could be the end of... the end of eternity.

I will swallow your soul. Break you into submission.
I will be waiting in the shadows. Until your last breath.

Don’t forsake all of us. Don’t turn away from us. Your will is stronger than... than this.

Something strange grabs hold of your breathless soul.
Under shadows I drift into your weakened breath.
Like grains of sand, hope slowly slips from your weary grasp.
And in my sweet seduction I will break your will... your will.

But there is beauty. (There is beauty.) There is love. (There is love.)
Hold fast, for this could be the end of... the end of eternity.

I will swallow your soul. Break you into submission.
I will be waiting. I will be waiting. I will be waiting...

 

 

12. Worlds Apart

A life lived with closed eyes. The faceless images leave my mind.
And I’ve lost my way. Worlds apart. Led astray, severed by this darkened heart.

Seeking answers. (Seeking answers.) Open these eyes.
Searching for the truth. (Searching for the truth.) Will you open my eyes?

All of life. All of time. Is just a moment, so just behold it.
All of life. All of time. Is ours to take. A soul reborn... A soul reborn.

And I’m bound by the weight of my regret. Untangle my soul so I may live again.
Seeking answers. (Seeking answers.) Open these eyes.
Searching for the truth. (Searching for the truth.) Will you open my eyes?

All of life. All of time. Is just a moment, so just behold it.
All of life. All of time. Is ours to take. A soul reborn.

Embrace the freedom. Embrace the beauty of life.
Some are blinded. Some refuse to hear. Embrace the beauty. Before it disappears.

Don’t let this die....

All of life. All of time. Is just a moment, so just behold it.
All of life. All of time. Is ours to take. A soul reborn.

Be reborn... And all of life. And all of time. Is just a moment...
Be reborn... (Be reborn.) And all of life. And all of time. Is just a moment...
And all of life. (All of life.) And all of time. (All of time.) Is just a moment...
And all of life. (All of life.) And all of time. (All of time.)

 

 

13. Fall from Grace
(features only Adam Dutkiewicz on lead vocals)

At the end of your rope, hanging by a thread. You’d give anything for this to just go away.
This grip is only so strong. I try to hold on tightly, but it’s all slipping through my fingers.

In a fleeting moment. Aspirations bled dry
Eyes that once beamed with hope now only stare in remorse.

Even through this pain, I will feel again. Even through these tears, I will love again.
Even through this pain, I will feel again. Even through these tears, I will love again.

There will be no pity. There will be no sorrow.
For today these hands may tremble, but this heart will never give in.

Even through this pain, I will feel again. Even through these tears, I will love again.
Even through this pain, I will feel again. Even through these tears, I will love again.

Now these tears I cry... (these tears I cry) ...are tears of joy. (...are tears of joy.)
And this breath I breathe (...this breath I breathe) ...is a sigh of relief. (...sigh of relief.)

And I will not fall... fall from grace. And I will not fall...
And I will not fall from grace. And I will not fall from grace.

You’re at the end of your rope. You’re at the end of your rope.
You’re at the end of your rope. I will feel again.
You’re at the end of your rope. I will love again.
