Hard Heads 02:42
What do you want? What do you want to see? Signs and wonders? Brimstone and fire? It wouldn’t matter, you’ve chosen not to see You’re only blind ‘cause you’ve chosen to be Hard heads, black hearts, no hope, no god We took the knife and stuck it in our hearts Destroyed our values for the sake of knowledge Peace is out of reach ‘cause truth is relative So do what you want, everything will be ok We’ll kill ourselves to find ourselves We threw away God to do it ourselves

Quiet Man 03:54
I am a quiet man, I am a humble man I stay inside, I lead a quiet life I work then sleep, I sleep then work I do the 9 to 5, I am dead, not alive I’ve died inside, I’ve died inside Trapped inside this soulless life Who am I anyway? A nameless ghoul on the great conveyor belt But the sun will set and the moon will rise I shall have my day, the wolf will have its way The beast inside comes out I’m a monster through and through I am a quiet man, I am a humble man I will cut you down from behind these prison walls I am safe inside, I will make you cry I will make you see the same as me I will use my teeth to rip your flesh away My nightmare will be your nightmare I’m a wolf and you’re the sheep But the sun will set and the moon will rise I shall have my day, the wolf will have its way The beast inside comes out I’m a monster through and through

Tonight, tonight We’re all just fine Shake our hearts and grab ahold Rise up, rise up Oh daughters and sons Lift your voice, rejoice Shake, shake, rattle and roll, rattle and roll, rattle and roll Tonight, tonight We’ll dance and sing Lift our spirits high and free Rise up, rise up Oh daughters and sons Life your voice, rejoice Shake, shake, rattle and roll, rattle and roll, rattle and roll Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake The night away Rattle the drums Make some noise

Courage 02:28
I lack the confidence To speak the words I know you need I know you need to hear I lack the courage To pick you up To pick you up When you have fallen God brings purpose But I’m crippled with fear The path lays open But I walk away Give me the courage To live with purpose

Open 03:38
We walk, we stumble Through this thing called life We fight, we fall We will risk it all We search, to find Answers to questions That burn, inside Our hearts and our minds We seek, the truth The truth that will set us free Our hearts, our minds May they be as one Reveal, Your truth So that we may see Your light, Your hand That is in everything Open our hearts Open our eyes Open our minds We seek, we find When it’s truth that we seek Jesus, the Christ The way, the truth, the life My heart, my mind Belong to God The peace, of mind The void is filled inside We seek, the truth The truth that will set us free Our hearts, our minds May they be as one Reveal, Your truth So that we may see Your light, Your hand That is in everything

Slashed in the face Tooth knocked out Ice in our veins When push comes to shove We drop the gloves Take the puck, down the ice Crash the net Pass, shoot, score Light up the lamp Slashed in the face Tooth knocked out Ice in our veins When push comes to shove We drop the gloves

Blood split, murdered Son Cut to pieces, ripped to shreds Blood soaked hands, no one is innocent I am drowning, I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe Guilt consuming, I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe Blood is falling, I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe Rescue me! Kill…kill…kill…

Heart Beat 04:16
Cobbled Streets and alley ways Back roads with no place to go Short days and long nights I drank whiskey, you drank some tea Your hand in mine, we walked in line Side by side, we kept in time No hesitations, no plans Just visions of glory from a haunted past Crowds of strangers, their muffled voices We passed doors of yellow and blue Bright colors, for bright eyes I held your hand, you held my heart Off together, in suspended time, because.. Our hearts beat To the rhythm of the streets Cool breeze and shuffling feet Bright lights, light up the night I catch their flicker in the glimmer of your eyes We took it slow… We didn’t want to miss a sight We were lost, lost in the city We were lost, lost in each other You cracked a smile, I fell in love Get lost with me, get lost with me again, because.. Our hearts beat To the rhythm of the streets Cool breeze and shuffling feet Bright lights, light up the night I catch their flicker in the glimmer of your eyes Get lost with me… There’s a chill in the air But we don’t care We move on, on, on

Lighthouse 02:21
Shine through the darkness Cast down Your light Upon the breaking waves Pierce through the clouds Ships set sail Look to Your brilliance A glimmer of hope Amongst the rocks and waves You are…the hope Through these troubled waters You shine…Your light Salvation comes to us Turn Your light on Shine through the clouds Light up the darkness Let them know They're not alone Guide them home
10.
Death Grip 02:58
The sun breaks through Storm clouds, black No more dark days The Son light shines through No more weeping My distraught offspring No more sad days The joyous Spring blooms Shout for joy, even rocks shall cry out, even rocks shall cry out Shout for joy, even rocks shall cry, even rocks shall cry out Death’s grip loosens With Winter’s melting snow Life springs from death Nothing can contain it Shout for joy, even rocks shall cry out, even rocks shall cry out Shout for joy, even rocks shall cry, everything shall cry out Cast off your worries Pay them no mind Shed your worn torn skin Know peace evermore Shout for joy, even rocks shall cry out, even rocks shall cry out Shout for joy, even rocks shall cry, even rocks shall cry, even rocks shall cry, every rock shall cry out

We all talk, we speak to argue But we run in circles It keeps running, running and running Spitting nothing but hate Fueling anger and fighting logic Failing just to see When you listen closely and anger slowly It kills your vanity We all talk, we speak our minds Before we know what we are saying We all talk, words just pour out But we’re not listening It keeps running, running and running Spitting nothing but hate Fueling anger and fighting logic Failing just to see When you listen closely and anger slowly It kills your vanity

Interlude 03:49
13.
Free speech, free thought Only if you agree with them Free speech, free thought They bully us to keep us silent Free speech, free thought Speak your mind, they’ll tear you down Free speech, free thought Silencing Free speech, free thought You’re not going to scare us silent Free speech, free thought We don’t have to agree with you Free speech, free thought We all have the right to speak our mind Free speech, free thought What right, what right Do you have, to silence me
