Re-living our mistakes. Why are you so afraid? We never were alone.
Yeah... We’re filled with emptiness. Failure... Re-living our mistakes.
Why... Why are you so afraid? Alone... We never were alone. Yeah...
Selfish anger now plagued with a thought. Our lives or nothing else.
Hearts bleed from a lifetime of pain. We’re reaching for empty dreams.
Endless battle of death over life has allowed our lives to fade.
So many times I’ve felt like a failure. Such distance brings hopelessness.
We’re filled with emptiness. Failure... Re-living our mistakes.
Why... Why are you so afraid? Alone... We never were alone.
Just an ounce of fear with a cost pushed us into a place of regret.
We never thought we would cower. We’re losing ground with integrity.
Innocence can’t hold a candle to light the path we chose.
Through the blood of a Savior our death shall set us free.
We’re filled with emptiness. Failure... Re-living our mistakes.
Why... Why are you so afraid? Alone... We never were alone....
Yeah... We’re filled with emptiness. Failure... Re-living our mistakes.
Why... Why are you so afraid? Alone... We never were alone.... Yeah... Yeah....
(feat. guest vocals by Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying / Austrian Death Machine)
Desire is overtaking me, arousing the essence of my soul.
Bow to the pressure while tearing your life apart.
Your denial causes a simple pathetic plea, as you bow in honor and choke on your words.
The lessons keep on coming as desire starts to fade
and as the healing hand of reason comes closer and closer.
Will the answers still be the same regardless of what it’s worth?
I’m holding, still holding on to the god of my mistakes.
Rise from the pressure destroying the walls of Rome.
Lies of deception eating away at your flesh.
Fight the pain of deception. We are not alone. I can always count on You.
The lessons keep on coming as desire starts to fade
and as the healing hand of reason comes closer and closer.
Will the answers still be the same regardless of what it’s worth?
I’m holding, still holding on to the god of my mistakes.
Fill the dying dream as your feelings begin to die.
Your reason for living drowns every retreating nerve,
as you bow in honor and choke on your words, as you bow in honor and choke on your words.
Failure to include an explanation. Our lives breathe no excuse of this.
It’s our fault if we don’t amount to anything. How frequently we point the blame to our failures.
Is this what we call freedom or liberation? A distance far too great for words.
Our focus is based off of what we say "I had it all",
as actions are a footnote of the past... of the past.
I wanted something real, hoping you would stay.
As our voices fade, we’ll find out what this means.
I hear Your calling. Reveal Your heart when pride fades.
You... You need no explanation. Here’s my heart and I am Yours.
There... There is no greater gift than this. Our anger... anger grows with every breath.
When man-made passion starts to fade, in fear will you be standing here?
When voices fade on passion, will your heart still burn through failure? (x3)
I hear Your calling. Reveal Your heart when pride fades.
You need no explanation. Here’s my heart and I am Yours.
I wanted something real, hoping you would stay.
As our voices fade, we’ll find out what this means. (x3)
Lord, I feel I’m struggling through this battle. Longing for one peaceful day that I can call my own.
Anger cast out and left for dead. These lies echo with no remorse.
Shadows are a constant plague, a reminder of every failure.
I will lay down my soul at Your feet. God, I feel Your calling. Healer, You are my healer.
Worthless and filled with anger. Here’s a chance to prove my worth.
Surrounded, I’m surrounded by sorrow choking the life I praise.
Anger... anger is setting in. I’ve laid claim and called you out.
Fear starts to battle you. With honor pumping through your veins.
I... I will lay down my soul at Your feet. God, I feel Your calling. Healer, You are my healer. (x2)
(feat. guest vocals by Sonny Sandoval of P.O.D.)
For what feels like a lifetime I stood my ground. I felt nothing could touch me until now.
Fall, and then you watch me, fall.
The warrior inside me is crying out: Set your face like a flint and stand your ground.
Fall, and then you watch me, fall.
Never wanted, never wished for my failures to hold me back.
The only thing worth meaning is falling through the cracks.
Will I find what I am looking for? My very own existence may cost me everything.
Yeah...
My existence is overtaking me. I’m hoping and praying for a chance to live.
The undying (the undying) mistakes that I’ve made have set my life apart and now I’m free.
Yeah...
Live for something, hope for nothing, regardless of what it’s worth.
The battle for something greater is crawling up your back.
Will I find what I am looking for? My very own existence may cost me everything.
Yeah...
My existence is overtaking me. I’m hoping and praying for a chance to live.
The undying (the undying) mistakes that I’ve made have set my life apart and now I’m free.
For what feels like a lifetime I stood my ground. I felt nothing could touch me until now.
Fall, and then you watch me, fall.
The warrior inside me is crying out: Set your face like a flint and stand your ground.
Fall, and then you watch me, fall.
Ohh... Confused by indecision from a broken home, left here to find out there’s nothing left.
I stand alone (alone) through scattered winds,
untainted by human failure reminding us of what we lost.
How constantly we fall without taking a breath, watching our life pass until the day we die.
Hope we can follow. Faithful, we are faithful.
Lord, I honor You, Lord. Closer, You bring me closer. Yeah...
Hopeless, the never-ending hopelessness. Our last words climb to a higher point of rage.
This world has fallen into sorrow through selfishness.
Now we won’t amount to anything... anything.
Yaahh... Hope we can follow. Faithful, we are faithful.
Lord, I honor You, Lord. Closer, You bring me closer.
The failing art of redemption has become a sign that we are not alone. Yeah...
Will we prove to the world of Your existence or cower in the face of regret?
(feat. guest vocals by Josh Gilbert of As I Lay Dying / Year One)
Yeah...
Self-liberation of our emptiness. This proves to be everything I wanted.
Lost inside yet it seems so clear. Is this all we’re made for? Yeah...
The trials keep on rolling and holding you down. Stuck inside yourself through every moment.
The battle rages on even though you’re never home. I guess this is the one thing I can count on.
I’m lost inside Your world, hoping that You’ll save me.
We’re holding on to You again and revealing... revealing what You’ve promised me.
Our misperception of Your living word has left me here confusion over passion.
Anger builds over right and wrong, allowing hate to build in us. Yeah...
I’m lost inside Your world, hoping that You’ll save me.
We’re holding on to You again and revealing... revealing what You’ve promised me.
Yeaahh....
8. The Fallen
Yeah... The annihilation of our souls. Bring forth the last known resistance of lies.
This is the re-birth (re-birth) of our system’s failure (failure).
How quickly we crawl (we crawl) away from the masses.
Yeah... The distance has fallen (fallen) trusting in failure.
How quickly we run (we run) fearing our death.
You liar. Bleeding for nothing. Your healer. Dying forever. (x2)
The vision is oh so clear (so clear) if only we’d focus.
The rising rebellion (rebellion) moves slowly from reaction of fear.
As the answers we’re looking for begin to unveil,
while death makes it’s way through our lives leading to failure,
will we allow our fate to fade away in these passing of days?
Take your place at His right hand for we alone are faithful.
We are the rising rebellion of lies. No place for the weak rising.
We are the rising rebellion of lies. No place for the weak.
9. Your Betrayal
To everything I hated (hated), an anthem built for the weak.
I’ve wasted time on you. You’ve become a thought of the past.
It’s now become so clear (so clear), I’m not worth an ounce of your time.
If I could have a moment, I’d have the strength to see this through.
When you come crawling back I’ll be waiting. For now your words will fall on deaf ears.
I guess you’ll have to find yourself alone. Remember me when you are ready. I’m waiting.
The wounds of your betrayal run thick with blood.
And beauty comes from ashes. We will rise again.
The only thing I wanted (wanted) was a simple request.
Through every failing moment (moment) I’ve learned what I should be.
All I ever wanted, all I ever needed, was too much to ask and too much to feel.
When you come crawling back I’ll be waiting. For now your words will fall on deaf ears.
I guess you’ll have to find yourself alone. Remember me when you are ready. I’m waiting.
[Vocalist Leroy] Hamp and his brother, drummer Alex, certainly know about rising from pain. In their life experience, they have dealt with kidnapping, abuse both physical and mental, and the violence that surrounded their family and their backward beliefs. Through their faith in Jesus Christ as redeemer and savior, the brothers soldiered on and have forged a life of their own choosing. The therapeutic "Your Betrayal" is about Hamp’s father.
